Slider for scaling finder icons doesn't work if...

I enabled the statusbar in the Finder window which enables the slider to scale the icons. But it doesn't work if I switch from the column view to the icon view. But the slider works if I switch from the list view or the cover flow.
You will find a screenvideo at http://www.arangoo.com/slider.mp4.
Thanks.

Wow, I was having the same problem and never noticed that if you switch from list or cover flow it works! Still annoying but at least it's a quick work around. I hope Apple notices this and gets a fix going.

Snap-To-Grid Finder feature doesn't work for mounted data CDs (Icon View)

I always use Icon View in Finder. And I AM aware of the CMD+J --> Arrange by --> Snap-To-Grid feature. I've set it for all my other Finder windows for my startup drive, and it works. (Actually, I set it to auto-arrange by Kind.) I've even used it as the default setting by clicking the "Set As Defaults" button at the bottom of the View Options window.
But there seems to be a weird glitch where every time I insert a burned data CD with icon folders and such, my Finder window always opens a mess of icons, one on top of each other. I keep setting it back to CMD+J --> Arrange by --> Kind, and the icons organize into grids right after. I click "Set As Defaults" again. But when I eject the CD, then mount it again, Finder gives me a mess of one-on-top-of-the-other icons all over again. What gives? I just want to be able to set all my files to auto-arrange in Finder by Kind.

But when I eject the CD, then mount it again, Finder gives me a mess of one-on-top-of-the-other icons all over again
Of course it will.
The CD is read-only - it can't be written to. Since the window position, view settings, layout, etc. are stored in the directory, there's no way for the Finder to write the changed settings back to the disk before you eject it.
The issue occurs because what you're seeing is how the window was laid out when the disk was burned in the first place.
Your solution is to re-burn the disk, positioning the icons where you want them before starting the burn.

Find Topic Doesn't Work for Priorities

In the Topic List pod I want to Find Topics by priority but it doesn’t work. Here’s what I’m doing:
1.      Ensure at least one topic has a priority of ‘1’.
2.      Click on the Find Topic icon and select the Advanced tab.
3.      Enter a string in the File Name Includes field (e.g., reports) that returns a set of Found Topics that include the topic I have set to priority ‘1’. At this stage, I can see in the Found Topics that it is actually priority ‘1’ (see first image below).
4.      Change the priority dropdown to ‘higher than’ and leave the corresponding text field set to ‘5’.
The result is ‘No topics found’ (see second image below).
I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I’m using RoboHelp 9.0.0.228.

That works!
I was thinking that 1 was the highest priority when the filter was just working on a simple numerical value.
Thank you!

Finder sidebar doesn't work for networking?

Does anybody else find that the sidebar in finder doesn't work when you network your computer to a pc network? I SEE the file servers when I click on "all" but when I double click on one of them it always says "connection failed". The only way I can access the network is to go to "Go" then "connect to server" then type in smb://ipaddress and have the server directly mounted to desktop (after changing finder preferences to show mounted volumes on desktop). Does the finder sidebar just not work then in leopard or am I doing something wrong?

When you click on it, it will try and log on as user guest with no password. This will nearly always fail on a windows box.
top right of the window pain there should then appear an option to 'connect as', click this and type in a valid username and password. Tick the box to add it to your keychain and it should then always connect when you click on the sidebar.

Find/search doesn't work in Finder - help!?

I go into finder and I type in a file name to search my computer for. No matter what volume or folder I select, nothing pops up in the search window - no files, no folders, nothing. Finder just sits there. The find command doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help me fix this? I really need to find files on my computer and don't have time to sift through every folder one by one. Thanks!!!

Hi, Todd —
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'll assume that you're talking about using Spotlight via the Finder »» Find (⌘-F) command. If I'm wrong about this, please post back to clarify the specifics.
If nothing at all can be found, it's possible that you have inadvertently included your HD (or a significant Volume, your Documents folder, etc.) in the Privacy tab of Spotlight's preferences — which keeps it from being indexed. If the "metadata" associated with a file or folder aren't included in the indexing, they can't be searched and included in results.
To check this, look first in System Preferences »» Spotlight »» Results — are any of the boxes checked? Only those that are will be searched. Are they in the order you'd like to see results reported? Next, look in System Preferences »» Spotlight »» Privacy. Does anything appear in this window? Anything that does will not be indexed, and thus won't be included in a search. If it is the Volume (or folders, etc.) that you want to be searched, select its name and click on to remove it.
Spotlight will then begin to index whatever had been set as "private" — which essentially means "don't search." Note that this may take some time. The Spotlight icon at the far right side of your menu bar will show a tiny "pulsing" dot while indexing is ongoing.
You may want to go to Finder »» Help »» Mac Help, type in "Spotlight find," and hit return. Several useful articles on this subject will appear that will help to explain this. Here is a list of corresponding Apple "Help" articles online.
Does this help?
Please post back to share your progress, and discuss other possibilities, as appropriate...
Regards,
Dean

Find command doesn't work

The find command F or just Find doesn't work any ideas on fixes? I tried trashing kybrd and finder prefs. This is on a G3 running 9.2
Thanks

Hi, Bookalaka -
If Sherlock, or an alias to it, is not in the Apple Menu Items folder (in System Folder), then the Find function (Command-F) will not work. If that is the case, replace that item - move either Sherlock itself, or place an alias to it, into the Apple Menu Items folder.
Note - if you use Internet Explorer, and want to be able to use the supplemental toolbar icon for Sherlock, then Sherlock itself must be placed in the Apple Menu Items folder (IE does not recognize an alias to it).
If for some reason you are missing Sherlock completely, you can replace it fairly easily. Look in the System Folder on any OS 9.1 or later Install CD; you'll find it in the Apple Menu Items folder. Just copy it to your hard drive.

'Find' function doesn't work on some HP documents

For some pdf doc's I downloaded from HP, if I copy some characters from the text and then paste them into the Find box, the characters show up as hieroglyphs (mostly squares) in the Find box. And then actually executing the Find using those characters doesn't work, because it can't find the very word that I copied them from! On top of that, if I manually type a word into the Find box (showing normal letters), it won't find it even though I can see it within the text on the page showing on the screen. Very strange! In documents other than these old HP documents, the Find function works fine.
I looked into the document properties (menu: File >> Properties >> Fonts) and see that there are 9 fonts that have names I have never heard of before, and those fonts say "(Embedded Subset)" after the font name and "Encoding: Custom" in the font descriptions. There were a few normal fonts listed before these for that document as well.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?

It's hard to say without seeing the actual, source content, but given what you are describing, I would venture a guess that the source content is of too poor a quality to OCR reliably and accurately. To test this theory, after running OCR, identify a term that you can confirm is present, but that the search feature cannot identify. Then, copy and paste that term into Word or Notepad. What I expect you will note is that a "0" (zero) has been identified as an "8," and other things of that nature. OCR processing is garbage in, garbage out, so the source always has to be considered. Repeat this process across the document to see if experience similar results.
You don't describe how exactly you are transferring the microfilm "images" to PDF, so it's difficult to say if that process is at issue or could be improved. I suspect that's contributing to the problem, though.
Finally, with regard to the degraded image quality, you want to make sure you are selecting "Searchable Image (Exact)" from the OCR dialogue. ClearScan or any type of downsampling will likely cause or contribute to the type of issue you are describing. In a situation with low-quality source material, you would not want to use these other options.
Hope that helps!

Since upgrade, I can't now tell the size of attachments added to email and the attachment link from the icon doesn't work properly. How can these be addressed?

Since the upgrade to mozilla and to windows was installed on my computer, when I use my hotmail account with mozilla, I now cannot tell the size of attachments. Previously you could see the size of attachments but now when the cursor passes over the attachment, this works on Internet explorer but not Mozilla. Also, the icon for attachments often doesn't work, nor the "send as an online document" nor the "No thanks" icon.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

HT4623 my IPOD is using version 5.1.1 and says it is up to date. One of my apps updated for IOS7 and now doesn't work on my IPOD. What can I do? It is a podcast app that I use every day.

My IPOD touch is using version 5.1.1. and no updates available. I use a podcast app which I listen to every day. The app updated for the new IOS7 and now doesn't work for me any more.

All yo can do is either find a compatible app that works for your 3G iPod (iOS 5.1.1) or purchase a new model iPod.

Accented characters in Word for Mac: Option-i doesn't work

I am trying to type an accented character (e.g., a circumflex over a letter). Everything I find online says type and hold "OPTION-i", release, then type the letter, but it doesn't work. Instead I get the accent over empty space, next to the letter. This is MS Word for Mac 2008 software on a MacBook Pro. Any ideas?

> the problem is that I'm trying to put a "hat" over a consonant
I suspect you'll find that, the more precise and specific your question, the more greater the likelihood of getting a speedy and helpful answer.
> Looks like the software only allows the circumflex over vowels.
> Option-i does work on my computer for vowels. (Built-in
> keyboard).
Nonsense. Nothing to do with your keyboard. Btw, you still haven't told us what character you're trying to insert.
> I guess I will have to use the Equation Editor.
That's an option, but not the only one. Just for the sake of argument, let's assume it's p-hat (not the party hat, but the symbol for sample proportion).
(1) Specifically in Word, you can use fields (overstrike). Go to Insert > Field… > Equations and Formulas > Eq; then type
EQ \O (p,^)
and confirm. (Note that "EQ" will be inserted by Word automatically, you don't need to type it again.)
Once you get the hang of it, you won't need to insert it using menu & submenu commands, but by typing and applying styles.
(2) The right way is Unicode. Currently, Unicode defines >100k codepoints, so, for obvious reasons, it's neither necessary nor practical for most keyboard layouts to be able to access anything but a small subset. You can enter Unicode characters using Character Viewer (aka Special Characters), or, more efficiently, using the Unicode Hex Input keyboard layout.
If the character is already defined as such in Unicode, eg, for all (upside down A), then hold down Option and type its Unicode hex code, ie 2200 -- ∀. However, p-hat isn't defined as such, so it must be entered as a combining character sequence. The sequence is ((Latin small letter p) + (combining circumflex accent)), or (p + 0302) -- p̂.
Unfortunately, all is not sweetness and light. Although this is how it should be done, the display may disappoint. Questions 12b and 12c in the respective Unicode FAQ explain what happens and why.
