Terminal Command for "Folders On Top" in Mountain Lion

Looking for a terminal Command that will place all "Folders On Top", even in sub-folders. The utility I was using on Lion does'nt work on ML anymore.

Looks like to me there has been a recent update to TotalFinder.  Claims to support 10.8, now. See
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33373/totalfinder
I misunderstood your questions.  I thought you wanted to display the files in the Terminal.  You want to change the way the finder displays files.

  • Terminal Command to re-hide top level 'private' folder?

    I've forgotten the Terminal Command for re-hiding the 'private' folder (top level of Snow Leopard). I have just restored the system from Time Machine and the private folder tends to reappear. Can anybody help? I tried "chflags hidden /private" but it didn't work. Cheers.

    /private is owned by root, so you should try that command with sudo in front of it.

  • Command key activates wrong window in Mountain Lion

    I've got some strange bug on my computer that has stumped every genius in the three Apple Stores I've been to--they even took it to the back to ask all the Genius' in the store, so it seems to be a nasty bug. so I figured maybe you all could help me out.
    The issue is this: After I upgraded to Mountain Lion (from Snow Leopard) when I use my "command" key, it randomly activates a window other than the one in focus (on top) of the other windows.  So, for example, if I'm in Safari and try to copy something (Cmd+C) but I also have Word open, it will switch to Word and copy whatever is in Word.  It does this with all programs (even with Finder!), no matter what the Command function I'm trying to use.  If I close the program, the strange behavior will stop for a short time and then come back with another program.  When Cmd activates Finder, I have to relaunch Finder and that temporarily alleviates the problem.  It does this odd behavior with an external keyboard (and the on-screen keyboard), meaning that it's a software, not hardware error.
    I have taken the following actions to fix the problem:
    - Reset PRAM (no change to problem)
    - Using Disk Utility to repair permissions and verify disk (no change to problem)
    - Created a new user on the computer (problem re-appeared after importing my backup files using MigrationAssistant)
    - Created a new user on the computer and imported files without importing "Settings" but problem reappeared
    - Reinstalled Mountain Lion (problem appeared after importing my backup files using MigrationAssistant)
    The last Genius thought the error was due to an application corrupting some system-wide file in Mountain Lion, so we wiped my hard drive, reinstalled files, and imported my documents but not my apps.  I manually installed one app at a time and had no issues for 3 months or so.
    The problem "randomly" came back last week.  Looking at apps that were installed recently, it shows:
    - Flux (update - but Flux was on my computer for 3 months with no issues)
    - Quicksand (update - but Quicksand was NOT on my computer last year when the problem started)
    - VLC Media Player (this WAS on my computer last year but was NOT on my computer in the 3 months with no issue).
    Thus, it seems that the culprit app was VLC.  I've deleted it (using AppTrap to clear system files), but the problem still exists.
    So, three questions:
    1)  Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, how to prevent it, or whether it might start again even if I wipe and reinstall everything?
    2) I'd like to fix the problem without wiping my computer and doing a clean install of everything.  Any ideas of how I could avoid doing that?
    3) If I have to sacrifice VLC to solve the problem, fine, but I'd prefer not to.  Any ideas as to how I could use it still?
    TLDR: Command key activates wrong window in Mountain Lion; confirmed software issue; reinstall worked fine until installed VLC Media Player and problem returned; how do I fix it?

  • Can you install Lion over the top of Mountain Lion to get rid of these awful Logic glitches?

    Folks -
    I too have experienced the 'help! Logic is running away with itself and won't respond to me' scenario. I thought it was just me at first... I know there are several other folks that are having other problems ranging from annoyances to show-stoppers.
    In my case, the biggest problem is that my Mackie Control (original; version 1.02)that has worked flawlessly in the past is plagued with the following symptoms:
    Frequently is not detected or initialized when Logic starts up. This always worked prior to Mountain Lion.
    If it IS detected, it will get a MIDI download from Logic so that all of the screen text and values come up, but none of the input functions (i.e. raising/lowering a fader on the control surface) are picked up/executed by Logic. I have tried different MIDI ports and cables and no change in the problem.
    This control surface is pretty important for my workflow. I am seriously considering downgrading back to Lion, if it's possible.
    Does anyone know if it is possible/safe to install Lion back on top of Mountain Lion? The glitches in Logic with Mountain Lion have made the system unstable and fairly unusable.
    Thanks!
    Pete

    Turns out that the problem REALLY WAS MOUNTAIN LION!
    I had a clone of my Mountain Lion disk in my Mac Pro. I do a full clone every night, so I booted from that, and erased my primary disk.
    Then, I used Time Machine to go back to just before I installed Mountain Lion and then booted from the Lion DVD that I had made when Lion launched (see Google for this). I recovered to my erased disk, and 2.5 hours later I had a full 10.7.4 system up and running on my primary disk. This WORKS!!! I have just tried Logic, and the problems I was having disappeared. The Mackie Control surface is now responsive, and I'll bet Logic doesn't run away anymore either. Great tools - Carbon Copy Cloner (I'm a registed user) and Time Machine saved my butt.

  • How do I find out if my Mac OS x version 10.6.8 has enough memory space for me to down load Mountain Lion?

    How do I find out if my Mac OS x version 10.6.8 has enough memory space for me to down load Mountain Lion?

    You need to know 2 things
    Ram, you need a minimum of 2GB, but 4GB (or more) is recommended.
    HDD, you need a minimum of 20GB of hard disk space (including space for operation)
    So.
    Go to Apple>About this Mac and you will be able to see the amount of Ram installed.
    Then select your hard drive (in Finder>Sidebar, usually called MacintoshHD) and click cmd-i (Command key and the letter I) look for capacity and available, post the results here.

    After you press download, check your Launchpad.  The icon will show up with what looks like a white dot where you'd expect to see a progress bar.  That white dot actually is the progress bar, as ML is a 4GB download and can take anywhere from 1 to 15 hours, depending on your connection speed.  On the average 1.5Mbps economy connection, it will take about 7 hours to download.

  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

    I guess you are calling BDC right after some event which is locking the data or before the commit of previous data could happen. Sometimes data update needs time. You can try using WAIT statement right before it and wait for 1 or 2 seconds and see if it works.
    If it does, I would recommend you to check the lock on the corresponding object and when lock is removed update the data as waiting for 2 seconds for a larger set of data will just make the program a bit slow. Depends on the amount of data though, if it is just one set of transaction, you may use WAIT for 2 seconds.

  • Ability to rename folders in Launchpad in Mountain Lion Seems to be broken. Is there a fix?

    Ability to rename folders in Launchpad in Mountain Lion Seems to be broken. Is there a fix?

    YouWinSomeYouLoseSome wrote:
    you still cannot rename folders.
    I can... you cannot. I'm not sure why. It will not work on an app icon.
    Are you sure you're doing this on a Folder?
    Perhaps it is a function of Finder. You can try deleting Finder prefs to default.
    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then, restart, or log out and in again.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.) 

  • Why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion

    why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion.

    As far as I know the only people not having to pay for Mountain Lion are the ones that have purchased a apple computer after the 4th of june or something. These people get a free upgrade. All others will have to pay for a copy of Mountian Lion.
    Do you maybe have a source, which states that others don't have to pay for it, where people that have bought Lion do have to pay?
    With kind regards,
