Selecting items in column/list view copying them and pasting them to

in the past (was it OS 9 ?????? ) i would be able to select all items in a folder
if i had a long list of titles of files ( songs ) and copy to clipboard and then paste them to text edit and have that list handy for future reference. for example if i have a DVD with 100 photos. I want to keep a file of the names only. I used to be able to select all of them copy and then paste to a document. Cant do it in TIGER????? am i wrong?
work arounds....

Hi, Glenn.
How this works now appears to depend on the application into which you are pasting the results.
If I open a folder, Select All (Command-A), Copy (Command-C), and then paste into a TextEdit document, if the contents include PDFs it actually pastes all the PDFs into the document! Looks like a change in how this works.
If I paste into a Carbonized text editor, like Tex-Edit Plus, it pastes the file names, as expected.
Here's a workaround:
1. Open the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder and Lunch Printer Setup Utility. You should see a printer icon in your Dock.
2. Drag and drop the folder whose contents you want to save a listing of to the icon in the Dock.
3. When the Print window displays, either:• Click Preview. A print preview of the FInder info for those files appears in Preview. If you like what you see, select File > Save As... and save the output.
• Click the PDF pop-up button and select "Save as PDF" from the list. Follow the prompts from there to save the Finder info as a PDF file.The resulting PDF saves the list you desired.
Good luck!

The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns but I can cut and paste them so I know they are still there. Has this happened to others

The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns A & B but if I cut and paste the table to a new sheet, the columns I am missing will travel to the new sheet. I have charts and other stuff related the the original table so I need to figure out why I can only see from column C forward. I tried to "UNHIDE" the columns but the function doesn't seem to recognise that there are columns missing. Has this happened to others and how did you fix it?

I've seen it happen before, or at least it sounds something like what I've seen before. The table somehow gets into the margins of the page and the app doesn't know how to deal with it. Go into Print View and try moving the table away from the left side ofthe page. You might have to change content size or resize the table to get it to correct (then put you can put them back the way you like).

How do I copy links and content from 1 tab and paste them in another?

I'm trying to do my homework, which requires me to post where exactly I got the information. I need to copy web links listed in one tab and paste them into my blog in the other tab.

You can copy the full URL for the page you're viewing from the Awesome Bar:
CTRL</> + L selects the full contents of the Awesome Bar (including http, etc. headers).
For Windows:
Copy with CTRL + C and paste with CTRL + V.

Thumbnails in Column & List views

My Finder (v10.4.5) mostly does NOT show the thumbnails of my JPGs in Column & List views, unless those JPGs were created on my computer (Tiger 10.4.6).
I got it to finally show the thumbnails in Icon view (View > Show View Options > Show Icon Preview + All windows), but I also want to see the little thumbnails in Column and List Views. Anyone know how to do this.
NOTE: those same JPGs that don't get the thumbnails on my MAC, do show thumbnails on my crappy-*** Windows ME Dell's Explorer.
By the way, (different Question) is there a way I can set up to be notified via email when somebody replies to my question here in this discussion area?
Thanks,
Ted

With a Finder window open in Column view, when you go to the View menu item and select Show View Options there are not any "Show Icons" or "Show preview column" selections for me to check.
That is very very strange. Try opening a Finder window, have it in icon view, and the bring up Show View Options, I presume you are getting the options? Now go to View (don't close the options window!) and change to List. A different set of options should appear in the options window, and if you then change the view to Column what happens to the options window?
If you want to see thumbnails for files that don't have them you either use Column view with a preview column set to display icons, or put the folder in Icon view. The Mac OS Finder does not create thumbnail.db files, as does Windows (I believe many Linux window managers create analogous files). Instead the Finder either reads the thumb from the resource fork of the file (most--maybe all--Mac graphics programs have always had the ability to create custom icons that are a part of the file), or else it will create a thumb "on the fly" for files that don't have them if told to do so in Icon and Column views. In List view it will display a small icon if the file has one, otherwise it just uses the generic icon. Windows is incapable of reading Mac resource forks, where the custom icon is for files created on a Mac, and the Finder is incapable of reading Windows thumbnail.db files. Any file you create on your Mac with a Mac graphics program will have a custom icon, if you set the preference of the program to save the file that way. This includes Image Capture, if you use it to transfer files from your camera. Images you get from a Windows or Linux box, or download from the Internet, do not have a resource fork and so do not have a custom icon.

How to get items from a list that has more items than the List View Threshold?

I'm using SharePoints object model and I'm trying to get all or a subset of the items from a SharePoint 2010 list which has many more items than the list view threshold (20,000+) using the SPList.GetItems() method. However no matter what I do the SPQueryThrottledException
always seems to be thrown and I get no items back.
I'm sorting based on the ID field, so it is indexed. I've tried setting the RowLimit property on the SPQuery object(had no effect). I tried specifying the RowLimit in the SPQuerys ViewXml property, but that still throws a throttle exception. I tried using the
ContentIterator as defined here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.server.utilities.contentiterator.aspx,
but that still throws the query throttle exception. I tried specifying the RowLimit parameter in the ProcessListItems functions, as suggested by the first comment here:http://tomvangaever.be/blogv2/2011/05/contentiterator-very-large-lists/,
but it still throws the query throttle exception. I tried using GetDataTable instead, still throws query throttle exception. I can't run this as admin, I can't raise the threshold limit, I can't raise the threshold limit temporarily, I can't override the lists
throttling(i.e. list.EnableThrottling = false;), and I can't override the SPQuery(query.QueryThrottleMode = SPQueryThrottleOption.Override;). Does anyone know how to get items back in this situation or has anyone succesfully beaten the query throttle exception?
Thanks.
My Query:
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='TRUE' />
</OrderBy>
<Where>
<Geq><FieldRef Name='ID' /><Value Type='Counter'>0</Value></Geq>
</Where>
My ViewXml:
<View>
<Query>
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='TRUE' /></OrderBy>
<Where>
<Geq><FieldRef Name='ID' /><Value Type='Counter'>0</Value></Geq>
</Where>
</Query>
<RowLimit>2000</RowLimit>
</View>
Thanks again.

I was using code below to work with 700000+ items in the list.
SPWeb oWebsite = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["MyList"];
SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
oQuery.RowLimit = 2000;
int intIndex = 1;
do
SPListItemCollection collListItems = oList.GetItems(oQuery);
foreach (SPListItem oListItem in collListItems)
//do something oListItem["Title"].ToString()
oQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition = collListItems.ListItemCollectionPosition;
intIndex++;
} while (oQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition != null);
Oleg
Hi Oleg, thanks for replying.
The problem with the code you have is that your SPQuery object's QueryThrottleMode is set to default. If you run that code as a local admin no throttle limits will be applied, but if you're not admin you will still have the normal throttle limits. In my
situation it won't be run as a local admin so the code you provided won't work. You can simulate my dilemma by setting the QuerryThrottleMode property to SPQueryThrottleOption.Strict, and I'm sure you'll start to get SPQueryThrottledException's
as well on that list of 700000+ items.
Thanks anyway though

I have been backing up my photos to an external hard drive. I usually choose the photos, copy and paste them to the EHD. It has started saying "an item named "unnamed.jpg" already exists in this location. I don't know what to do.

I have the MacBook OS X 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB. I have been backing up my photos to an external hard drive since I purchased it. I usually choose the photos, copy and paste them to the EHD. It has started saying "an item named "unnamed.jpg" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving? Don't replace/Stop/Replace". I don't know what to do.

Thanks Jim, I kind of thought that was the answer, but was hoping against hope that I was just missing something. Like I said, it's not a big problem. One work around I've found is to name a folder on the external hard drive the same as the name I give the folder to import to and then choose this folder to back up to. I still get a subfolder inside that folder named Imported on...... but at least it's in the folder with my chosen name.
Thanks again,
Jack

Is it possible in iTunes 11 to get the old album list view, with covers and track listings like in 10?

Is it possible in iTunes 11 to get the old album list view, with covers and track listings like in 10?
If not, then to me that is a huge retrograde step

No, the old album list view is not an option in iTunes 11...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

List View Lookup Threshold and Expiration

Hi
Does anyone have an explanation of why Expiration can stop for a site, Raising the Value of the List View Lookup Threshold then allows it to work again?
Cheers

Hi there,
Techincally, you must configure the expiration for a single list and the timer job will cover all expired items and hide from the list. For more information, visit my blog at http://tuan-tomy.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-to-set-expiration-policy-for-items.html
With List View Lookup Threshold, this setting lets administrator define a number of lookup field/user in a single list. Of course, if you leave as default (8), you still can create more 8 lookup fields/user fields in a single list, but you could not save
the list as a template, or create list from the template which are stored more than 8 lookup/user columns inside. In addition, this setting isn't related to expiration setting.
Thanks

My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my com

My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my computer and load them in my LR. The photos appear but witthout any editing or tagging. We need to be able to have her working on the photos on her computer with her copy of LR and me on my computer with my version of LR being able to access what is already tagged and given back to me. This seems hard. We need advice on if it is at all possible to have two computers simultaneously working on LR . I bought her her own version because I was told at the time of purchasing that that was the only way to share. Please advise urgently! Thanks.

Sounds like your assistant isn't instructing Lightroom to write the tagging and editing to the files themselves, so wehn the files return to you, they don't have editing and tagging information. She need to select the photos in Lightroom and then Ctrl-S (Cmd-S on Mac). Or alternatively turn on the option to autmoatically write this information to the files.
If you are using RAW photos, then this information will be written to a sidecar XMP file, and your assistant must provide you with the sidecar file. If these photos are not RAW photos, then the information is written directly into the photo file itself.
Lightroom wasn't designed to be a multi-user program, and so it is truly not possible to have two people working on the same catalog at once. The way you are doing things, as modified above, is probably the way to go.
As an alternative, you can transfer (portions of) catalogs as well as photos back and forth and then all of these issues disappear, but a catalog might be rather large for a flash drive (or maybe not, it depends)

In iPHOTO it won't let me "choose any of the original pictures to include in an email or even copy and paste them else where? Why ?

In iPHOTO I can highlight a photo to include in an email, but after I select the a photo, the "choose" box will not darken to let me choose that photo or any of my original photos to put them in an email or even to copy and paste them else where.
The only changes I have done is the original photos were taken with a different digital camera from the one I use currently. The newer digital cameras photos can be selected and emailed just fine. What is not being recognized by the iPHOTO programing as to not let me select (choose) to older photos taken by the older original digital camera?

Thanks for the response to my query on emailing photos from iPHOTO. To answer your questions:
1. When I first connected my new digital camera to my iMAC and installed it's program from it disk, all went well and that program with Icons are currently on my desk top. When I down loaded pictures from this new camera into iPHOTO, I was asked if all pictures from this camera were to be down loaded into iPHOTO only, I answered yes.
2. I did nothing to the photos in iPHOTO, they are my original pictures setup in various groups and are not thumbnail copies of the originals.
3. And yes, I have tried to attach photos from iPHOTO directly into an email message in both Apple's MAIL program and even through my AOL service provider account to no avail. I get the same issues of not being able to choose older pictures for insertion in an email message, only newer pictures taken with the new camera.
4. I have even gone back into my external back files and restored older versions of iPHOTO and the same thing happens.
5. I have even thought of uninstalling the unused new camera's desk top files, but since there is nothing in these files and both my new and older cameras are Canon models, I can see no issues for removing the new camera files?
I hope this extra detail is lear to you and again tell for your assistants.

I used Ion Profile Pro to digitize quite a few records. However on some records, it will not recognize them and sync them in iTunes. Perhaps because some songs "ran together" when copied or titles were misspelled. Can I get iTunes to recognize them?

I used Ion Profile Pro turntable to digitize some old records. It worked fine for most of the records, but on five or six albums I get an error message saying "the original file can't be found" and it won't transfer them to my iPod Touch. However, the files are on my hard disk digitized and I can click on them and play them in Windows Media Player. When I go to iTunes, the records (or the CD created from the original records) exits in the iTunes libraries for sale. However, in some cases, the contents of the album offered for sale differs slightly from the original record, or the songs exist on different albums, but not the original album that I had. In some cases minor misspellings occurred on a few titles when they were entered in the ION softwareon my computer. In a few cases, it seemed as if ION did not recognize that there were two or three songs and ran them all together as one and again, my song list does not exactly match Apple's.
I own these songs, but iTunes won't put them on my iPod Touch. Is there anything I can do (short of paying for songs I already own) to get Apple to recognize these songs?

You seem to have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem. Try posting in the iTunes forum.
