Setting up columns to remain in same position when the window is opened

Does anyone know how to save column preferences after they are customized in Mac Mail, Itunes, or any file or folder in OS 10.4? I called Apple care and they didn't know. For example, when I set up my incoming e-mail columns spacing in that window, when I quit mail and then reopen the columns settings are not the way I set them up. I've noticed that this happens in any of the columns after I go to view columns in the menu bar, set up my and customize preferences of what I want to show up and the width of each column, yet there seems to be no way to retain the settings. I have tried quitting the program, closing the file or window, restarting the computer etc, but when I return the same old default column settings appear, or appear differently than I left them. Anybody know how to 'save' column preference settings so they stay the way I left them when I closed the window, or if this is a poor software design in OS 10.4????

Making folders stick to columns and keeping the width & height is easy.
Hold down your option key when you adjust them.
With one exception and that's your Hard Drive (at least for me it is).
My Hard Drive will retain its width & height but not the column width.

  • I have a formula where I want the columns to remain constant but I want the middle number to increase by 1.

    I have a formula,  where I want the columns to remain constant but I want the middle number to increase by 1. How do I do it? =SUMIF($F2:$F45,1,$H2:$H45)
    The first cell contains the correct formula with the columns highlighted. Autofill gives me a red triangle. The columns are no longer highlighted.
    I have done this in Excel. I will learn Numbers!
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    When posting formulas, as a courtesy, please select the formula in the entry bar, Copy, then Paste the formula into your message. This permits the reader to copy the formula directly from the page, paste it into the reply, and edit it there. When pasted as an image, that reader has to read the formula from the image and type it into the reply, increasing the probability of errors creeping in.
    =SUMIF(F2:F10,COLUMNA+1,H2:H10)
    The syntax error is in the part shown in bold. Here is the image of the similar formula from my reply above:
    With the syntax error corrected, your formula would read:
    =SUMIF(F2:F10,COLUMN()+1,H2:H10)
    Restated in English, the formula says:
    "calculate the SUM of all numbers in cells H2 to H10, where the value in the same row of column F is equal to the column number of this cell plus 3."
    In your image, this cell (the cell containing the formula) is C3. That's in column 3, so the value "COLUMN()+3" is 6. Considering the headers in your screen shot, that is probably not what you want to happen.
    NOTE: Your original formula (and mine, modeled on that original) used the $ operator to fix the Column values of the cell references, making them stay the same when the formula is filled right. Your description indicates you want to fill the formula down. Unless you attach the $ operator to the Row part of the cell references, the row value will change as the formula is filled down, producing an 'invalid reference' error when the referenced range extends beyond the bottom of the table.
    Change the range "$F2:$F45" in your original formula to read "F$2:F$45" (and make a similar change to the range in column H) to keep the range the same when the formula is filled down. You'll also need to use ROW()-n in place of COLUMN-n, as filled down. all copies of the formula will be in the same column.

  • How can I return to the same position in the calling order details form

    I am Calling a form for creating a new item from order details form, so after creating The new item I want to returned the item code to the calling form to same position in The order details form , how can I return to the same position in the order details form
    Waiting for your valuable answer .
    Best regards
    Jamil Alshaibani

    Dear Friends
    My actual problem description as the following
    I have a form for production order screen , and this form contain header and details blocks , so the user in the details will select Type Code , and he will go the next field that is Item Code Field search for specific Item Code if it is not exist he has to call the Item Definition Form by using this script
    CALL_FORM(ITEM_DEFINITION);
    Then when he finished defining the Item , and I assign the item code as the following in the :
    WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED TRIGGER
    :GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR := :ITEM_CODE;
    DO_KEY('exit_form');
    But I don't know where to keep this assignment
    :ITEM_CODE := :GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR;
    inside the caller form in which trigger do I have to use when it return from the caller form it should assign the :GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR to the :ITEM_CODE and the cursor it should show inside the ITEM_CODE , and as I mention it does not return to the same location of The ITEM_CODE when it return from the calling form
    Waiting for your valuable answer .
    With example please .

  • How to make the new Array start at the same position as the previous and randomise only the newObjec

    So i am currently trying to make 5 boxes/ships (3Blue and 2 Green)appear  in a random position(1st-Gree,2nd- Blue,3rd-blue,4th-Green,5th-Green or in some other random way) i the upper corner of the stage.Make them move down.Then make a new 5 boxes and position them in the same starting position as the previous 5 and make only them get randomised (not with the previous 5,what it is doing at the moment).And do this while they are moving down.  so the code so far i have is this :
    import flash.events.Event;
    var shipCount:Number;
    var shipCount2:Number;
    var shipArray:Array = new Array();
    var shipArrayPosition:Array = new Array();
    var counter:int = 0
    var positionsX:Array = ["50","100","150","200","250",]
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame)
    function everyFrame(ev:Event):void{
              counter++
              if(counter % 70 == 0){
                             doShips()
              positionShips()
              trace(shipArray.length )
    function doShips() {
              shipCount = 3;
              shipCount2 = 2;
              var gap = 10;
              for (var i:int = 0; i < shipCount; i++) {
                        var s = new Ship;
                        shipArray.push(s);
                        //s.x = s.width/2 + (s.width* i) + gap*i
                        //addChild(s)
                        //shipArrayPosition.push(s);
              for (var j:int = 0; j < shipCount2; j++) {
                        s = new Ship2;
                        shipArray.push(s);
              var array:Array=new Array();
              while (shipArray.length>0) {
                        var index:uint = Math.floor(Math.random() * shipArray.length);
                        array.push(shipArray[index]);
                        shipArray.splice(index,1);
              shipArray = array;
              //shipsArray has been randomized
              for (var k:int = shipArray.length - 1; k >= 0; k--) {
                        shipArray[k].x = positionsX[k]
                        addChild(shipArray[k])
    function positionShips() {
              for (var i:int = shipArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                        shipArray[i].moveDown() //what the code in the Ship and Ship2 class does -> only: this.y += 3
    and how to make them stay at one position.Not to move in any X position when the new 5 are added

    This one is more efficient yet because it removes ships that moved out of view:
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    var numShips:int = 5;
    var shipCount:int = 3;
    var shipArray:Vector.<Sprite> = new Vector.<Sprite>();
    var counter:int = 0
    var positionsX:Array = [];
    init();
    function init():void
              // populate positions
              for (var i:int = numShips - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                        positionsX.push(50 * i);
              addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame);
    function everyFrame(e:Event):void
              counter++
              if (counter % 70 == 0)
                        doShips();
              positionShips();
              trace(shipArray.length);
    function doShips():void
              var gap = 10;
              var s:MovieClip;
              var shipsLine:Sprite = new Sprite();
              shipsLine.cacheAsBitmap = true;
              addChild(shipsLine);
              shipArray.push(shipsLine);
              shuffle(positionsX);
              for (var i:int = numShips - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                        s = i < shipCount ? new Ship() : new Ship2();
                        s.x = positionsX[i] + gap;
                        shipsLine.addChild(s);
              shipsLine.y = -shipsLine.height;
    function shuffle(a:Array):void
              for (var i:int = a.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                        var r:int = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
                        var t:Object = a[r];
                        a[r] = a[i];
                        a[i] = t;
    function positionShips():void
              for each (var shipLine:Sprite in shipArray)
                        shipLine.y += 3;
                        // remove line that moved out of stage
                        if (shipLine.y > stage.stageHeight + shipLine.height)
                                  removeChild(shipLine);
                                  shipArray.splice(shipArray.indexOf(shipLine), 1);

  • Open PDF in same browser when the preference is set to open in new window.

    The corporate policy for all applications is to open the PDF document in new browser/reader but our application needs the reader to open in the same browser even the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work?
    Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser?
    thanks,
    - Ray

    There is no way to override that from your application.   And if the Links in the PDF have an explicit "open in new window" setting, that is respected over the preference.

  • New page to stay in same position as the page user is leaving

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is the right place to ask. I'm guessing it's a javascript issue but any forum I find hasn't had a question answered in weeks.
    I'm looking for a script that tells the new page to stay in the same position as the page the user just left. Example....If the user is in the footer section and clicks a link, the new page opens up in the footer section of the new page.
    I figured I'd be able to find something to achieve this but no luck so far. Any assistance would be fantastic.
    Thanks

  • How do you have the help file .chm hold its window position when the user resizes the help window.

    One of my customers is complaining that the help contents will scroll out of view when the window is resized.  Is there a way to anchor the position while the window is resized?

    My CHM is a help file for an application. The application uses F1 to open specific topics for help.  Therefore the help file needs to be visible but not cover the application to much. The Content in this situation is text however the help project contains Images, tables, text, etc. 
    If the user searches for the word "audio" in the search and it takes them to a section or sub topic that is half way down in the Topic, they would like that section or subtopic to stay in the same place as they resize the help window.  Using Bookmarks if the topic is large enough clicking the search link will place the results in the top left of the doc view window, however this is not necessarily the top of the topic. 
    Im not sure how else to explain what the user is seeing, sorry.
    Please explain "Also whether it remains consistent depends on whether an absolute or percentage value has been added to it."

  • Java GUI cursor position in the window, mixed text editable and uneditable

    Hello,
    I primarily program in VBScript for Client Acces; but, I wanted to start creating user interfaces with Java.
    VBScript is not compiled on the private drive and anyone can learn how to do a program from well documented code; however, a compiled .class Java program does not have to be sent with the .java source code to work. The compiled program is unreadable by others and uneditable by others. Although I can do what I want with ActiveX programming, I want to use Java instead because it will prevent others from knowing how I program my solutions.
    The NetBeans IDE allows for controls to be dragged and dropped onto a screen; however, I want to know how to have uneditable and editable fields on the same page while allowing the cursor to be anywhere on the page and report its cursor position just as it is reported in Client Access.
    Does Java support the .Net Framework; or, does it have its own objects and methods to pull the cursor position in a window? I need the row and column, not the x and y coordinates.
    Java How To Program, Sixth Edition, has some deprecated code examples and I found working solutions from the Java Almanac. However, I did not see an example of this sort.
    What I will do once I know how to track the cursor position in the window is generate a Java based training module. Every computer at my workplace has Java runtimes installed, none of them have the .Net Framework installed. Java has a lot of tools that allow me to replace all my ActiveX programming with Java programming.
    Have a great Day!

  • How to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation

    We have a custom program which will add / delete attributes (In transaction PPOSA_BBP). It is working fine for users which were assigned with CP relation But it fails for users which doesnu2019t have CP relation (since we are getting the position of users form HRP1001 then we are retrieving the existing attributes based on the position after that updating the attributes) as we are getting the position from HRP1001 it fails for users were no CP relation.
    Help us how to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation. Suggest us any function module or how to query the HRP1001 or some other table if exists
    Regards

    Hi Paul,
    Have a look at these tables.
    Using table BUT000 the central business partner data are stored, f.e. partner type, partner names, partner number, partner guid, person number, etc. In table BUTBKK the bank data to a business partner are stored.
    Central business partner address data
    The table ADRC is used for the address of a business partner. Table BUT020 links the business partner number with the address number. Using table BUT021 several addresses to a business partner with different usages (modes), f.e. correspondence or delivery address, can be stored. The personal data of a business partner person are stored with key person number in table ADRP. The person number is assignd to a business partner person in table BUT000. Communication data of business partners as e-mail, telephone, fax, etc. are stored in the tables ADDR1 u2013 ADDR12. The business address of a contact person or an employee consists of the organization address (company resp. org.-unit) and of an address addition, which describes f.e. a building, a room number, etc. The address addition is stored in table ADCP and is identified by the keys address number of the organization address and person number.
    Relationships between business partners
    Table BUT050 contains the relationships between a business partner organization and a business partner person using relation types. The relation types are defined in table TBZ9, f.e. the relation type u2018has employeeu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR010u2019, the relation type u2018has contact personu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR001u2019. Table BUT051 stores communication data of a contact person relationship (compare to table ADCP). Table BUT052 stores several address numbers to one business partner relationship (including a standard flag).
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
    Matthew

    We have a 10 person office - all either use Acrobat XI or Reader XI.  One person is on Windows 7.  The rest are on Windows 8 (not 8.1).  I say this because I thought it was a Windows 8 issue, but having the same problems on the Windows 7 machine. We are all having problems opening pdf's sent to us from other firms. This has increased in frequency over the past two months. We've checked with the various firms, and their other clients are not having problems. Some pdfs open but with a lot of missing content and strange formatting, others won't open at all.  There are different error messaged depending upon the doc.  Some are regarding the fonts, for example "can't extract the embedded font...."  Others are "insufficient data" errors.  There are more, but for purposes of keeping this short, I won't include them.  Another unrelated issue is that we are having trouble printing excel files to pdf.  The files end up with bad formatting.  I've worked with adobe "chat" support, our IT consultants with no resolution.  I also haven't found any similar "known issue" online  Would very much appreciate any assistance.  Thank you

    The font embedding can be a problem if not done and you are trying to view the PDF and do not have the font on your machine. Acrobat will often try to find a replacement, but it is not always a good choice. Sometimes the "Use Local Fonts" button can be changed in state to resolve some of the viewing issues.
    If you are trying to copy or export info, then it is important that you have the fonts on your system. Otherwise, the message you are getting about embedded fonts would not be showing up.
    As for Excel formatting, be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is selected in the printer screen before you look for the paging and formatting of the file. In most OFFICE programs, if you change the printer the application will reflow the document to best match the printer (called "using printer metrics"). So check before you create the PDF that the layout is correct.

    i bought windows 7 download online and started setting up boot camp but it says to insert the windows 7 disk so how do i do this?
    plz help me

    Hi Jaimie,
    To install Windows via Boot Camp you will need to have a copy of Windows on a physical dvd disc.
    If your purchase provides you with an ".ISO" file then you can simply burn this to a DVD and then follow the standard Boot Camp installation instructions.
    Boot Camp instructions: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    If you get stuck, just let me know the website you purchased Windows 7 from and I might be able to help you out.
    Cheers
