Thumbnails don't change size in finder

When in the finder and looking at a window in icon view, there is a slider at the right/bottom of the window that should allow you to interactively scale the icons. When I use the slider nothing happens. I need to go to the view options and set the icon size there. A big hassle. Is there a way to get the slider to work?

That usually happens when a folder's view was set to Column and then switched to Icon view.
Solutions -
• Reset the view to List and then back to Icon. The slider should then work.
• Leave the view set to Icon, then close and re-open the folder.
• Add the folder to the sidebar in a Finder window, and open it from there.

Thumbnails Don't show up

Ok folks, this has absolutley stumped me. I have 2 sites where I need them to share the same images and thumbnails. I set up on the server (linux/apache) all the pemissions and I'm actually aliasing all the directories. The thumbnails however refuse to appear on one of the site. All other images appear just fine.
Example: everything is ok on this site:
http://www.annapolismoves.com/featured.php
However, Thumbnail don't appear on this site:
http://www.dayweitzman.com/featured.php
All the thumnail are of course dynamic with ADDT so are the full size images that are not a problem under either domain, example:
http://www.annapolismoves.com/listing.php?propertyid=129
http://www.dayweitzman.com/listing.php?propertyid=129
If you can she any light on this. I'd really appreciate it

You’re database is damaged (by a crash, perhaps?) and the damage is such that it cannot be recovered with Library Manager.
Your only option now is to create and populate a new Library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

When I change size of icons or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer?

When I change size of icons, or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer? In some folders I want to see a list and others I want to see an icon and I don't need a large icon in all folders. I used to be able to set each folder separately in the old OS. How do I fix this?

I can hilight an item, go to the finder/file/getinfo but there is no box next to icon view.
I can go to view/options and adjust the icon size etc, but this applies to every folder in the whole computer. I need varied options in different folders, i.e., I want to view images as icons and text as text. I have to change it every time I open a folder. I used to be able to set it per folder in the old OS.

Thumbnails missing from DNG files in Finder

I have been converting Canon CR2 files to DNG files for archiving using Adobe DNG Converter 8.1. Conversion completed without issue and the files located in the appropriate folder on an external hard drive. Checking the folder I found the DNG files showing with no thumbnails and showing Dimensions 0x0 in Finder window. The last time I used DNG Converter was some 18 months ago and the conversions on CR2 files from the same camera converted to DNG files with thumbnails and Dimensions showing. The source CR2 files show correctly in Finder.
There have been updates to OS X 10.8, also to Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe DNG Converter since I last did such archiving. I have searched on Adobe website but have found no reference to this issue and googling has not helped. Has anyone had a similar experience and possibly found the answer?

Same here. Latest updates to Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, OSX 10.9. I could view .DNGs no problem before Mavericks. I can preview Canon Raw files no problem in the finder or with quick look. Not with Mavericks. And the file sizes are listed as 0x0, which is really reassuring.
My guess is botched Apple Mavericks programming. Or yet another Apple/Adobe spat where the software team managers' haven't had their diapers changed in a bit and are squabbling over whose toys are whose.
And, the end users get jacked. Again.

Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says "other" is taking up most of my storage but I don't know where to find "other". Please help!

Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says “other” is taking up most of my storage but I don’t know where to find “other". Please help!

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper 2>&-
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How to change size of all text on screen when in 2560 x 1440?

Hello,
When I change my display setting to 2560 x 1440 all of the text on the screen turn to 'mice-type'. Is there a way to increase the font size to like 14? I like the higher resolution, but can't take the small fonts.
Thanks,
Hank

If you want the fonts in all the windows and the menu bar, etc. to be larger, you do need to take down the resolution a notch; if you don't want to do that, you can increase the font size in finder (View > show view options), but that will only increase the size in some of them.

Changing font without changing size with paragraph stylesheet

I need to change the font of many paragraphs without affecting different text sizes within the paragraphs.
I have a huge document...45,000 phone listings/400 pages. Each business listing (as opposed to residential) has a unique text string after the phone number ( |||B ) which will eventually be deleted. I want to do a Find/Change on that text string and change the entire paragraph it's in to a different font without impacting the different font sizes within the paragraph. But when I try to set parameters for the stylesheet, I can't just change the font, I have to change the size also.
Using a character stylesheet won't work, as it would only change the font of the text string itself.
Is this impossible using style sheets? Can it be done with a script? I've never used InDesign scripts so I'd need detailed instructions if that's the answer. Or am I doomed to manually change the font on 3,100 paragraphs in my document?
Thanks to all you keeners out there for any help you can offer.

I'm a little confused.
Do you currently have paragraph styles defined? I would probably approach this by defining a paragraph style for the main listings. You can do that by selecting some type and holding the Alt (Opt) key while clicking the new style icon on the panel, or by selecting new style from the panel menu. That style should be what is applied to all the text to start.
Define a second style for the business listings. You can base this on the first style, and change only the font. You don't need to enter a new size unless you wish to do so. Any attributes you don't change in the new style definition will be preserved, and will change to match the base style if you edit it.
Do your find/change and in the change format dialog specify the new paragraph style, but leave the actual change field blank. This can be done a plain text search. You will need two passes, one to format the paragraphs, and one (with the change format field cleared) to remove the suffix.
A GREP expression would probably work, too, but my GREP is rudimentary and I can't seem to find an expression to find |||B -- my attempt was (.)|||B$ which I thought would find any character followed by |||B at the end of the paragraph, and I would replace with $1 to preserve the character before and delete the suffix at the same time as changing the format, but it's picking up all sorts of stuff in the middle of the paragraph, so I suspect the pipes have a special meaning.
Character styles should be used to change only things that are special and need to be different from the standard paragraph definition, not for formatting the entire paragraph.
Yes, I have paragraph styles defined. I used them, along with a bunch of other unique text strings, to create separate paragraphs of each type of info in each listing, and then style them. I then used the same search strings to remove the paragraph breaks (and the search strings) to put the listings back to together into a single paragraph (but you have to break the link to the style before you remove paragraph breaks or your text will reformat itself back to the style on the previous paragraph.
The main problem is that I neglected to make a special find/change on the address and phone number to make them bold. Now I have 48,000 paragraphs (listings) with nothing but that |||B search string at the end of each of the business listings. And it took me two full work days just to get to this point, so I really don't want to go back to square one at this point.
I know this is hard to describe and understand. I really appreciate your help though!!

Thumbnails disappear when change to any folder

In Photoshop CS2 when I first start Bridge (CS2 1.0.4.6) my thumbnails show up fine for the Desktop. As soon as I change to any folder the thumbnails turn all white. No matter what folder I change to they are all white, and the number of thumbnails stays the same regardless of how many images are in the folder.
When I return to the Desktop folder, all the thumbnails are white. If I close Bridge and reopen, the Desktop thumbnails reappear until I change folders again.
Can anyone help - my Bridge is definitely broken.

1. Do you have adequate cache space? Is it on C drive, or a dedicated drive or partition? If it is nearly full that could cause problems.
        - 35 GB available on C: using a centralized cache in default location
2. Compact the cache. That will get rid of all unmached files and thumbnails, and reduce its size.
        - I have no option in Bridge to compact the cache that I can find - either in the preferences or from the cache menu (I am using Bridge CS2 with Photoshop CS2)
3. Delete temp file with a product like cclean
        - What temp file? I have used CCleaner on numerrous occassions for cleaning up but only recall some files located in a   \CameraRaw\cache location
4. Go to a folder that has problems. Then go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder
        - Did this many times - does not fix problem.
5. Close program then restart and see if problems are still there in xxx folder
         - same as #4 - opened and closed Bridge and Photoshop many times trying to purge and rebuild. still broken.
6. Open Windows Explorer and look at thumbnails. Look at contents of each folder closely and see if any do not have a thumbnail. That would indicate you have corrupted files there or bad suffix. Figure out what it is and fix or delete
     - The files are all okay - Windows Explorer displays thumbnails and I have no problem using Adobe Lightroom and working on any of the files.

How to change size memory for an application under Classic ?

When I ask informations on my OS 9 application under OS X.4.4, I can no more change size memory ! I can no more use my application with Classic... ???

ROYCH: This is partly guesswork, but I think it may explain why your problem occurs.
When OS X is controlling your computer (as it always does on a Mini), the file Type and Creator attributes that OS 9 uses to identify different kinds of files are not used. OS X ignores them in files that have them. Files that are only used by OS X don't have them at all. When you create a new application in Classic mode under OS X, those attributes may not be assigned to it, so the new application may not have any.
But if you copy the new application to a computer running OS 9, and those attributes are missing, the OS 9 computer will have no idea what sort of file it is. OS 9 won't even know it's an application. To prevent that, I'm guessing that OS X somehow builds clues into the file that enable OS 9 to identify it as an application, and to give it the Type attribute APPL. I believe any file in OS 9 that has that Type attribute will display the Memory menu item in its Get Info window — not only in OS 9, but in OS X. So after you copy your compiled application onto a computer running OS 9 and then back onto your Mini, it has the APPL attribute, and the Memory item is available in its Get Info box.
I have one application, File Buddy, that can (among many other abilities) display and edit the OS 9 Type and Creator attributes of any file while running in OS X. It can be used to assign specific Type and Creator attributes to a file that has none. You could use it to assign the appropriate Type and Creator attributes to your compiled applications while you are running OS X. After you do so, maybe they will display the Memory menu item in their OS X Get Info boxes.
If this works, File Buddy can apply the same changes in Type and Creator to a whole folder full of files at once. That would be an easy way for you to accomplish the same thing for several compiled applications instantly, without having to copy them to a computer running OS 9.
I don't create applications, so I can't test this procedure to see whether it works. I will be interested to hear what happens if you experiment with File Buddy.
But after saying all this, I really have no idea whether the message you're seeing about insufficient memory is meaningful or spurious. You may go through the whole rigmarole of changing the memory allocation for your compiled applications, only to find that doing so still doesn't enable you to open them. I'll be interested to hear whether that's true, too. Good luck.

How can I display file size in Finder

Hi folks,
I am trying to figure out where 40GB of data is hiding. I would like to see file sizes in the Finder window associated with my folders in Mountain Lion 10.8.2.. I'm having, what seems to me, a strange problem. When I 'Get Info' on my Hard Drive, the disc space left is only 40GB out of 120GB (ie used being 80GB). My confusion is that when I painstakingly go through the files, I can only account for 48 GB with 'Get Info' on each folder. This is a rather combersome process and I am hoping there is a work around for viewing the file sizes within Finder and not having to open 'Get Info' on each and every folder like I have been.
I have a MacAir 13 inch 2011
Thanks!

Thanks for your time and suggestions, dominic23.
I looked through both links and sadly, none of these suggestions have worked. I have tried many on my own since posting trying to figure out why the volume is being doubled on my hard drive. I've deleted log files, and done a sweep with Onyx to no avail. Strangely, the option of seeing the volumes under 'About this Mac' and 'System' does not have a listing for storage. Weird. I am the only user/administrator on this computer and I don't have shared files.
I'm just stumped.

Can anything be done to change the white on grey color scheme in Bookmarks?

I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro to OS X Version 10.9.1. I was horrified when I got a look at what Apple has done to Safari! I have macular degeneration - which means that my eyesight is slowly fading away. Bookmarks was especially difficult because all of the bookmrks are shown with a white on grey color scheme. And when the "new" Apple color schemes are not white on grey - they are grey on white. I simply can NOT see anything which is white on grey. OR white on ANY light color. In order to be able to see anything, I need to have contrast. For example, as I type on this page, the scroll bar is grey on white. It has become almost impossible for me to find the scroll bar on most pages. Previously, my scroll bars where usually bright blue. I can see bright blue on white - but NOT grey on white. I can read white letters on BRIGHT or DARK Blue -but NOT light blue.
Apple has made SO many strides in makes computers accessable to those of us who have no other choice except to deal with disabilities! Can ANYTHING be done to change the white on grey color scheme which Apple has adopted throughout its system?
Now, in order to use my Bookmarks, I have to go to my Edit Bookmarks page. Even that solutation is not all that helplful, because the lettering on the Edit Bookmarks page is so small.
Also - I discovered that the "new" Mail pages had the same problem. For the most part, the "innovations" in mail make all of the pages too busy for me to be able to sort my mail or keep track of it in any way. I had to choose to return to the "classic" mail option to be able to get a reasonable facsimile of being able to handle my E mail accounts!
And, of course, once again, the scroll bar on my mail accounts is also grey on white - so it takes a lot of searching for me to just find the scroll bar when I need to scroll down in an E mail!
ALSO - I was equally horrified when I discovered that the Upgrade to Version 10.9.1 made it impossible for me to visit some of my favorite music pages - most of which use MIDI files! I can no longer hear any of my favorite MIDI music pages! I TUNES, of course, is in love with people like Lady Gaga - the type of performers - and performances - which have no relevance to older Americans.
I do volunteer work at a local Assisted Living facility and one of the greatest advances we have been able to make with Alzheimers patients is the way in which Senior Citizens respond to music from their time period. Unfortunately, most of the music which senior citizens prefer to listen to is music which has been preserved in MIDI pages. A few weeks before I "upgraded" my Mac Book Pro - I could take my computer over to the local Assisted Living Facility and play music from Hymn Time's Cyberhymnal or the Angelwinks tunes - but I can NO longer do that with the current Apple "upgrade" in version 10.9.1 - because the music from those MIDI pages can no longer be heard by anyone! The page comes up and you can see the writing - but no one can hear any of the music. We understand that a group in Switzerland has been working on an APP for I Phones which DOES make MIDI files accessable - so surely it should be possible to provide a way for Version 10.9.1 users to listen to MIDI files, such as those provided by Hymn Time's Cyber Hymnal or by Angelwinks!
You will notice that I changed the font for this to Arial Black - primarily because I could NOT see what I was writing when I first began - because, once again, the color scheme was grey on white.

1) Put the lastest version firmware about IP Phone and didn´t worked;
2) Put the lastest version dst and didn´t worked;
I search about any bug related and didn´t found nothing.
Any have idea about this?
Thanks,

I click on a link or start typing text in a box on a webpage, any page, and the browser window either randomly changes size, reduces & goes to the toolbar, or some other strange random thing occurs. Why is this?

Whenever I am using Firefox, when I am on a webpage (any webpage) & I either click on a link in that page, start typing in a box, click on a button, or click on a tab, the browser window either reduces to the toolbar, or just changes size, usually from full-screen to 2/3 of its size. I reinstalled Firefox (downloaded from the web) after wiping my hard drive because I was having so many problems from my browser constantly crashing, to the computer itself crashing often, to the computer running exceptionally slow. At first everything seemed fine. But then after having opened my computer a few times, a few different windows began to freeze, then that stopped, then this thing with the browser started a few times later after opening it. Now it does it every time I open it. Also, whenever I try to click on a button on other windows on my computer, I get the 'warning' sound, nothing happens, then after a couple more tries, the button works. All of this is just weird. I had antivirus protection on my computer, but it apparently did not catch whatever virus infected my computer, or the damage was already done when it did get it. I thought once the hard drive was wiped, that everything would be ok, but then these weird things began to start up, and now I am wondering.... Of course, it could also be something wrong with the browser, too. I've also had some trouble getting my printer to working again, but I've managed to solve that problem.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

Navigation Buttons Change Size

My admittedly-crude website is taking shape but when I roll over the navigation buttons (which don't have actual links yet) the font type seems to change to bold and the button itself changes size to accomodate the larger font.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Line 219, has a syntax error.
Change

to

The closing <li> has been changed to </li>.
That should clear up the validation errors.
