Two Finder questions

Two Finder questions:
1. Is there a way to get the status bar to show something more useful than how many files I have selected and how much space is left on a volume? It would be nice if it could tell me something like file size or the combined size of the selected items. Which brings me to...
2. How can I 'Get info' for multiple items as a combined total? Since the status bar won't tell me, this would be the only other reasonable way to find out.
I keep ending up in a situation where I know how much space is available on a memory stick, yet I don't know how many files I can put on it because I have no way of seeing how much space the selected files take up.
Thanks for putting up with the noob questions.

Excellent, one down.
I also noticed that if you press ctrl instead of option, you get 'Get Summary Info' which results in the exact same window, but with a nicer title bar. Very important, that is.
Thank you, that helps a lot.
Any ideas on the status bar? Having come from Windows I'm used to it dynamically showing a lot of useful information. As it is, only telling me how many items there are and how much space there is on the volume, I may just nix it if it can't do more. A 'tweak' perhaps that's found more behind the scenes than in an option window somewhere?
Thanks again, the forums here have made the transition very pleasant.

  • Two theoretical questions

    Hi there!
    I'm designing an authentication system. Two theoretical questions have evolved. I am not so sure about it. Hope you can help me out =)
    1. First sign or first cipher?
    What is best practice here? Is it a risk to a symmetrical cryptosystem, if there's also a hash of the plaintext available? Or should the cipher text be signed? I am afraid that this might cause a security risk for the hash: The ciphertext's entropy should be lower than the plaintext's, which might cause lower entropy of the hash value that makes it more likely to find possible collusions.
    2. Challenge Response Authentication
    This is an hypotectical one: Is it of matter, if a (one-side) Challenge Response Authentication is done reverse: Bob sends Alice f(RAND), Alice deciphers it and sends RAND back to Bob.
    Thanks for your help!

    I'm sorry, my questions were not precise: By entropy I meant the ciphertext's nature that 0 and 1 will have (almost) the same likeliness, which is not the case in the plaintext. This depends very much on the nature of the cleartext. If your cleartext is alpha numeric ASCII then it is certain that the most significant bit of any byte will be a zero with some bias in the other bits (I have never looked at it so I don't know to what extent).
    But you are right: I am affraid, that the uncertainty of the key might be negatively affected by fact, that there is also a hashvalue of the plaintext available.The extra information in the form of the hash means that there is less uncertainty but I would take the resultant entropy as near to the minimum of(hash entropy, key entropy, cleartext entropy).

  • Two app questions

    Ok all, I have two app questions.
    1. Ever since the IOS 5.1 update, some streams on Tune In Radio Pro do not play in stereo and I can't find a way to fix it! I've tried turning mono audio on and off, turning AAC streams on and off, and still nothing. Could it be that my phone is complaining that it doesn't have a sim card? That's my only theory at this point. I thought it had something to do with the stream bitrate and I have been working with the TuneIn support to try and get to the bottom of this, but nothing has worked. I thought it was just the 32 kbps and 48 kbps aac streams affected, but it seems to be all on some streaming providers. Here's some of the stations I've logged mono audio on, in Spokane, KZZU and KZBD, in Saint Lewis, WARH, in DC WRQX, in New York WPLJ, in Portland Maine WHOM, in Philidelphia WBEN, and in Yakima KFFM. These are all 32 or 48 kbps streams. I can't get stereo on KQMV or KLCK in Seattle, haven't tried KLCK actually as I listen to that enough over the air, I am just basing that one on how TuneIn is acting. I can also get KFFM in stereo via Radio Pup, so in that instance, it seems to be just a TuneIn issue. WBEN is also on IHeart Radio and does not come in in stereo on either app. I didn't mention KFAT in Ankorage, AK because they are with one of the providers that doesn't seem to have a stereo aac stream on TuneIn at all. Other stations in this category dealing with two providers here, WCLI in Dayton, OH, WJDQ Meridian MS, KMGL Oklahoma City, KLMY in Long Beach WA, not listed in a market on TuneIn, KRXY in Shelton also not listed under a city, and I feel like I am forgetting a few but that's most of them. If I didn't mention it before, KQMV and KLCK have 64 kbps aac streams as well as 32 kbps aac streams, problem only occurs on 32 kbps streams there. Any solution?
    2. Now this next question will go really fast. TuneIn must use some kind of audio capturing software to record, but you can only do that with TuneIn stations. Is there a way to do this with other apps, such as the hd radio that works with the Ibiquity app in the app store?

    Well, here's the skinny then. If it's an isolated issue and you cannot provide a way of replicating the problem, the Apple does not consider it an OS X problem. Rather it's a problem with the third-party software. Given what you have reported I'd tend to agree with that viewpoint.
    There are some third-party utilities that enable audio capture from applications that don't support it themselves. The best of them is Audio Hijack Pro 2.10.3. I highly recommend it.
    If you are interested in Internet radio then you should check out Radium 2.8.3 and/or World Radio 2.0 and/or Radioshift 1.6.7. The last one will record its audio.

  • Two Dock Questions...

    Two quick questions. First, I'm wondering if there is anyway to have certain dock preferences set for different displays. For instance...when I have my Macbook hooked up to my external display, I like the dock to always display on the left of the screen. When I am using my Macbook's screen, I like it to disappear and be at the bottom of the screen. Since my computer can detect when it is connected to the external display, it should be able to make those distinctions. Anyone know how that could work?
    Second, I'm wondering how I can get the applications stack back into the dock. I accidentally removed it awhile ago and can't figure out how to get it back.
    Thanks.

    This doesn't work. I'm trying to grab the Applications folder from the finder, and when I move it to the dock, the cloud icon stays there. The dock never responds like it is going to accept a new stack. I can get any other folder to appear as a stack, but not the Applications folder. I tried with the applications link that is in the sidebar of the Finder and that is what happened. I also grabbed the Applications folder from the Home folder, and it will allow me to place it in the stack portion of the dock. However, it never operates as a stack. It just opens that folder in the finder. I right clicked on the folder in the dock and "display as stack" is checked, but it still opens as a folder.

  • Two simple questions i cant figure out please help!

    hey guys, i used soundtrack before on a 20 minute long project and i looked all over and cant figure out how to do this one simple thing! its a professional audio editing program but i cant figure out how to do a simple fade in or have a clip just fade out...i couldnt find it in the help either...it would deffidently help in my project and blend everything together nicer...im not talking about a transition between two clips but just a single clip alone having it fade in and fade out?
    my other question is the audio levels. i see on the left hand side you can adjust it for each individual layer...but is there anyway to adjust the individual clips? the project i did before that was 20 minutes had like 25 layers! because all of the layers had usually one seperate clip alone in it since i couldnt make each clip in the layer have its own individual unique audio level adjustment. im sure there is a way and its probably real simple!
    these are jus two dumb questions i feel stupid for aksing for but would be greatly appreciated if you could help!!! thanks!!!

    Maybe this will be fixed in 2.0. For now, if you right click on the clip and choose "open in editor", the clip will open as an audio file. There you'll be able to highlight an area and select "fade out" (or fade in). It will update in your multi track project.
    You can do the same thing for levels. Or you can use the envelope levels, set keyframes, and adjust the gain accordingly.
    I know, not an easy way to do a lot of clips.

  • N95-3 two short questions

    Hi, yesterday received my new unlocked N95-3 (bronze, like it more than black). But I have two short questions:
    1. Is there anyway to end a call closing the slider? In my N80ie when I close the slider it ends the call (N80 is intelligent enough to know that if it is a BT headset connected closing the slider not end the call...).
    2. In Forum Nokia N95-3 specifications under Extra Features it´s listed PoC (Push To Talk over Cellular), in my N80 the feature is under "connectivity", but in my N95 where is the feature, I cannot find it...
    Thanks in advance.

    Right Darla, noticed that, but sinces Windows Live client still works don´t need for this one.
    By the way, my device arrived yesterday, so I don´t have much time to play with it, but, I could guess that after installed Y-Brownser if I make a search surely will find the PTT executable...
    Right now, the much missed feature to me is the chance to end a call closing the slider as in my N80ie (yeah, just today forgot it and ended up with a 20 minutes call...in my pocket, and yeah, with my girlfriend, lucky me I was driving alone and not talking with anybody). And sure perfect world if I could have the N80 screen resolution in N95 screen size...
    Last issue, with the N80 when I press the middle of the volume button of my BH-800 headset it mutes the line, anoying thing this don´t seems to work with N95...

  • Reset the two security questions

    Hi.
    I need to change the two security questions associated with my apple id. Do I need to reset the whole account using the "I forgot my password" link or can this be done separately? The only information I can find seems to relate to reseting the password, not the two questions.

    - Go to https://appleid.apple.com
    - Choose Manage your account
    - Choose Password and security on the left
    - Answer the questions that will be prompted; get this correctly and you'll be in the page where you can change your password, the questions and your rescue email

    LizMaddock,
    you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

  • I can't remember my two security questions on my account. I made too many attempts and got kicked out for 8 hours. I do have a back up email addy that's verified on my account as well. Any resolutions?

    Looking for some help please!  I just got an iPad 4 and tried to purchase some apps on it and was prompted to answer my Two Security Questions that are on my apple account, and I can't remember them. I do have another verified email account attached to my account besides my @me.com one.
    I created an apple account a couple years ago when I purchased my iPhone and now I can't remember what my answers were. If anyone has any suggestions or resolutions, it would be greatly appreciated as I cannot purchase anything on my new iPad and cannot make another attempt for 8 hours to my failed attempts :( Thank you

    Tomorrow call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to the account security team.

  • Two finder icons in my dock and other issues

    For some reason, in my dock, two finder icons are appearing. The default finder icon, which is not running and has no white indicator under it, and a default application style icon that launches right after login with the label "Finder" which is basically the finder but launches like a third party application?! When I quit the running finder icon, the finder restarts, so this second icon really is running as the finder!
    Also: When i click on the trash it no longer opens, when I try to empty the trash from the dock nothing happens, and (this is the best part) when I click and hold on a stack, and select "Show in finder", Entourage launches and tries to compress that folder in an email message. Super bizarre! Like really bizarre.
    Please any help would be great before I do something drastic like archive and install.
    I have a screenshot of this but can't seem to post it here.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, burbaget.
    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.5 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
    If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.

    Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.
