View as Icon help

I am trying to attach a jpeg image to an email.
I attach the image and select 'View as Icon' and send it. To the recipient, It appears as the image, however it is the size of the icon and it can not be opened.
I have attached it from the desktop and it is only 500 kb. The other option is to attach as a full size image which works but I want to attach it as an icon.
Unfortunately I cannot get this to work.
Frustrated
Can anyone help me please
Kind Regards
Gregg

How it appears at the recipient's end will depend on their email software.
If their email software does not use html format your attachment will just be a file they will need to open, otherwise the sent image could well appear as an image in the body of the email as it does with you.
You can add the image through either the Mail toolbar Attach, or drag the image from your Desktop into the email.
For the file size, after you add it to your email, at the bottom of the window will be Image size. Choose the desired size, Actual Size would be satisfactory for something 500k big.

Out of the blue, my AppleTV went to a screen that had two icons, Computers and Settings. Why won't it go the the usual TV screen with viewing options? Help!

Out of the blue, my AppleTV went to a screen that had two icons, Computers and Settings. Why won't it go the the usual TV screen with viewing options? Help!

Here's what finally worked for me with Apple TV 3rd generation. Out of the box, when setup with wi-fi, it breezed through without any issue. As soon as I powered down and connected it to another tv (same wi-fi network), it got stuck at setting date/time. The remote would help in getting out of it, but the home would only have "Computers" and "Settings" and pretty much useless except for AirPlay. Here's what I did to resolve this:
1. On your main router, temporarily disable the firewall or set it to the lowest setting allowable (a reboot of the router maybe required).
2. Restart apple tv via the "restart" option in the "General" option in the main settings menu.
3. It should breeze through and not show the "Setting date/time" screen.
4. Once it loads up properly, turn on your fire wall as before (a reboot of the router maybe required).
I think it worked for me out of the box, but auto-update to the latest software introduced this bug. So, everytime apple tv tries to synch with the time server, this issue will come back. To disable this, I turned off the "auto time synch" option in Settings -> General.
I am fairly confident that I'd be able to use steps 1 through 4 anytime this recurs. Possible scenarios causing recurrence of this issue:
1. Unplugging the power to apple tv or power failures.
2. OS updates.
3. Restoring apple tv using "Restore" or via micro-usb and iTunes to the lastest OS.
Hope this helps. Please post if this works for you.

Help needed: view option icons missing

Hi,
There are only blank space in the bar location where my view option icons and spotlighter use to be.
But I can still click the old position and the same functions still working.It is so inconvenient
because I need to guess the choice.
Does anyone have some ideas about how to fix it?
Thanks,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Default Mail attachments to "View As Icon"

Is there a way to default attachments to "View As Icon" instead of previewing them in Mail? Specifically MP3s, since there's no way to drag the preview player directly into iTunes. I know I can just right click to change, but I get a lot of emails with MP3s attached and need to pull them straight into playlists.
Thanks in advance for any help.

"Iconizer" or "attachment tamer" could be your answer.

View as icon - Wheres it gone?

I use email attachments a great deal - sending documents and drawings etc. and as there are usually multiple attchments and mail defaults by inserting a preview of the attachment I often right click and select the "View as icon" button. This is really useful if sending over 5 or so documents but I noticed today that "View as icon" has disappeared from the right click menu.
Anyone know where it has gone? Is this the result of an update I haven't noticed? On a similar front is there a way of changing mail preferences so that the attachments appear as icons as a default?
Thanks for your help in this folks.

Seems to there for me:
This is in a new message. Also was there on incoming messages.
As for setting it permanently, don;t see anything in Preferences, don;t know if there is another way to do it.

View as icon vs. view as list

If I select "view as icon" for a finder window, it applies that setting to all the windows. Is there a way to "view as icon" in one folder, for example, and to "view as list" in another window. I remember being able to do this in 10.4 on my old laptop.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hey all,
I'm a long time Mac user, way back before OSX. I responded to another thread on a similar subject. It's kind of a long post, but you might find it interesting/helpful. Basically, how an old Mac user approaches the 10.5 Finder (which I've grown to really like, btw).
Here's the thread link...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1766829&tstart=60
Here's the post I put up there...
"Re: Global Finder Window Problems..."
This is actually the default viewing system in 10.5 (newly opened folders automatically adopting the view of any previously opened folder). I little weird at first, but read on for my take on why I think 10.5 is much nicer than 10.4 and preceding OXSs.
I started using Macs in the pre-OSX days, so was used to the completely dependable and always predictable "spatial" Finder of OS9 and down. Spatial meaning, folders all opening in new windows with every window position, view setting, icon position, even scroll bar (if there is one) remembered without exception. Also, no browser mode at all.
So I tried to recreate the old OS9 default folder view in 10.4... First, create a desktop folder, set to icon view, turn off Toolbar/Sidbar, which causes nested folders to open in their own new window. Great! Now all folders within created within that folder adopt that view, right? They do, but not if you drag one to the desktop, at that point the Toolbar/Sidebar magically reappears. It also reappears if you navigate to the same folder via Dock's cascading menu system (assuming you've placed a hard drive or folder there). Another 10.4 oddity...if you have Finder set to open at the top level "Computer" when activated from it's Dock icon, it would never remember icon size and position. Sometimes even forgetting window size/position (at least my install of 10.4 did this). On and on....life with the forgetful, stubborn OSX Finder.
However, 10.5 is fantastic at remembering folder view settings. Only thing is, that's not turned on by default. Instead, the default behavior is for folders to adopt the previous folder view setting. This is actually not a bad thing if you prefer to use the browser style navigation the Finder offers. You alter a view setting, list view for example, browse a while, then change it to icon, continue browsing, etc, etc... Thats 10.5's default behavior. To make a specific folder remember a view state, all you have to do is set the view you want, open the Show View Options and check the Always Open In... check box. Now, it will very dependably remember it's view state.
Personally, I've always had my own ideas about how the Finder should behave, and have suggested them to Apple. I've always thought there should be a separate Finder/Browser app that boots up from the Dock Finder icon. It always opens with the Toolbar/Sidebar on (ie: all folders are navigated to via a single browser window). You set it to some browser friendly view (ie: list, column), and it retains that view state as you browse no matter what view settings you may have set for an individual folder. That's the Finder/Browser. To see unique pre-folder view settings, you open the hard drive icon from the Desktop. It opens with the Toolbar/Sidebar off (ie: all folders open in new windows). You could consider this to not even being the "Finder application". Just think of it as "manually looking at the contents of the hard drive". As you drill down, opening new windows, you can create view states which are always remembered when opened via double click the hard drive from the Desktop.
I attempted to created this behavior in 10.4, but the Finder was just forgetful enough, and stubborn enough, not to cooperate fully (see explanations above). However, in 10.5 it works beautifully. I first set the Finder Preferences to open "Computer", opened the Finder via the Dock icon and set it to Column view. From re-boot to re-boot, this set up is remembered exactly, even the window size and position. This is great for browser navigation.
For "manually exploring" (or as some referred to as "spatial"), you must first tell every window on your hard drive to "Always Open In...." whatever you want you default state to be (other wise it will just open in the state in whatever the most resent folder was opened in). I created a script for this with the settings as...Toolbar/Sidebar off & icon view. I then ran the script on the entire drive, and all sub-folders. Over time, I've changed the settings of folders I want to open differently (mainly list as apposed to icon), making sure I open the View Options and rechecking "Always open in..." to whatever adjustment I made. My drive is in great order now and remembers every view detail. Any windows I don't mess with default to a completely predictable "Icon View".
So 10.5 gives me the best of both worlds. Very reliable spatial (ie: old fashion manually opening window after window....handy for dragging files around the hard drive), and super streamlined browsing...good for navigating to and opening files quickly.
My 3 cents...sorry for the long post.

How to populate read only input field or text view form value help only

Hi experts,
I have one requirement to populate a read-only field or text view from value help.
User cant put any value there.value comes only from the value help.
For example,
when we read context using Code Wizard,we cant type any value there.value only comes from value help.
How to implement that functionality?
Please reply.
Thanks in advance,
Subhasis.

Yes it is possible.
1.Create a context Attribute and then bind this attribute to the Text view UI element.
2. read context attribute and then set value to the context attribute like this way.
DATA:
    elem_context1                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
    stru_context1                        TYPE if_first=>element_context ,
    item_potxt                          LIKE stru_context-potxt.
get element via lead selection
elem_context1 = wd_context->get_element( ).
stru_context1-potxt = 'PO'.
elem_context1->set_attribute(
    VALUE = stru_context1
    name   = 'POTXT'
thanks

I have an old file with an .A4P video from 1999. I don't own any Adobe products (and don't really want to buy any). I just want to be able to convert the file to something that I can actually view. Any help?

I have an old file with an .A4P video from 1999. I don't own any Adobe products (and don't really want to buy any). I just want to be able to convert the file to something that I can actually view. Any help?
I was a kid when I made a documentary for a school project. I've been trying to figure out how to retrieve the file. 4 years ago, I was able to get the files off the Iomega Zip drive (finally), but I now see the file is saved as a .A4P. There is also a file saved as a .PKG as well, but I don't know how to open this with my Windows 8 COmputer.

.a4p is an Authorware v.4 (Windows) project.
Interesting you have it as a .pkg...usually that's a published-on-a- Mac extension, if I recall.
At any rate, can you put the file up on a Box, Dropbox, FTP, etc...and send me a URL?
I should be able to published it so you can view the project (it would be an .exe).
It can't be converted to anything though - not without manual effort.

Unchecking view as icon property

Yes, In LabVIEW 2012 you can select any number of terminals, right-click, and change them all at once.
(In LabVIEW 2011 and earlier you cannot do that)

Disable view as icon

Every time I create a new controller/indicator from the block diagram windows, it keeps placing the newly created controller/indicator from block diagram windows as "view as icon". How do I disable this view so that it always default to false? I don't want view as icon.

Apparently new users prefer the big and bulky.

As for the express VI's that is a good suggestion and I've never found a way for an express VI to default as a small Icon View (and turn off the caption). If this is hidden INI key I want it.
But honestly I use express VIs so seldom that it doesn't bother me too much.

Removing the default (View As Icon) for the control and Indicator

If you remove the default selection View As Icon for all the control and indicator, it is good for the programmer for easy to visualize the Block diagram code.

This has already been suggested - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Default-Option-Do-NOT-Place-Front-Panel-Terminal-as-Icon/idi-p/926871
Also, note that you can already change it on your computer as mentioned there.

View as icon is evil?

I perused through the CLD sample vi, and ALL of the samples' variables are not in view as icon. I attach one of the sample vi.
What gives? Is this some kind of secret convention I dont know about? Or is it just a personal preference that makes the block diagrams look more neat? View as icon looks messy?

"Aristos Queue" did mention one reason to view as icon, which is when doing LVOOP it shows more info about OOP controls. As mentioned before, this "feature" was added only a few releases ago, so many of us are used to the "old" view. It does take up a lot of "real estate" on a block diagram, so that can be an issue.

View as Icon in LV7

Hello,
is there an option that the new controls, indicators, ... are at once placed
as always and not as "Icon"? I always have to remove the "View as Icon"
thing to have the old LV6-look.
Thanks

Hi Powder,
Go to the LabVIEW options (Tools>>Options...) and uncheck the the option named: "Place front panel terminals as icons"

There is no default setting for this in Mail but check Mail Attachments Iconizer.
