Weird finder view windows

For some reason my Finder won't open up in the iTunes style view. It has the old OS Jaguar look. It used to have the iTunes style view but now doesn't. Initially this problem occurred only when opening the home folder (option-shift-H) but now opening any window with a shortcut (Apps, Utils) does the same view. Not the end of the world, but it is a time waster none-the-less.
I've tried repairing permissions and have run a disk test and all is well. Is it a pref file problem?
Any ideas anyone?

Ah, you mean you've lost the sidebar in your Finder windows. Try the following menu command when you have a window open in the Finder:
View > Show Toolbar
Which is also triggered by the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-T.
Also, clicking on the little lozenge-shaped button in the top right corner of the Finder window will hide/show the toolbar and sidebar.

Lock Finder view as list in every Window/File picker

I have my Finder in list view: always and everywhere (except for the occasional pictures folder).
Within Yosemite I encounter a lot of differences. Sometimes a folder opens in icon view. When the file picker windows appear (in Pages for example) it is icons or columns. It changes randomly.
Is there a way to lock every view of files to "list view".
I tried in Finder, View Options, set as Default. That doesn't work.

Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

Weird glitch in Viewer window Retina Display

I've been successfully running Final Cut Studio in Mountain Lion on my 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display for over a week now with no major problems. I am however noticing a weird glitch in the Viewer window in FCP7 playback. It's like a glitch where like a digital band sort of buzzes on the screen randomly when playing back. It doesn't always happen, but just sometimes.
The footage is rendered and doesn't have any 3rd party plug ins or filters on it. Just color correct 3 way and it is rendered.
The footage is ProResLT from a Canon 5DMKII playing off of a LaCie Rugged 500GB hard drive connected via USB 3.0.
The original footage is fine if I look at it on another computer or another monitor so this leads me to believe it is due to the Retina display since this is the first time I have ever experienced it. Has anyone else encountered this?

can't help you directly since I don't have the same equipment configuration, but...
Have you tried recompressing the material as a different kind of prores? What are the pixel dimensions on the footage?
Have you tried hooking up an external monitor?
You say this just occurs in the viewer, but do you really mean just the viewer (which with the standard screen configuration is the left monitor) or does this happen with video playing on either the viewer of canvas. Do you see this when you play full screen?

Weird artefacts in view window & QT

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this, or have experienced it. Since upgrading to Leopard, Final Cut occasionally displays some crazy artefacts in the viewer window, usually when pressing 'f' for match frame. I've also noticed it a couple of times when exporting from QT, the window displays nonsense. I've posted a link to a screen shot:

I can just hear the narration now....
"When expecting heavy weather, it is advisable to pay special attention to securing the rain fly. I always use the super peg from Cotswolds Outfitters..."
I've never seen that other stuff, looks spooky. What happens when you trash the preferences? Any relief?

Time Machine preferences window appears as Finder view after restore

I wanted to upgrade to a larger disk drive, so I backed up using Time Machine to a USB drive, and then swapped out drives and did a restore. However, after the restore, now when I click on time machine preferences from the top bar, instead of the GUI appearing, a finder view appears with timemachine.prefPane in its heading. Any ideas what is going on? If I go through the System Preferences route, it works.

Lion Finder "Find" command window, cannot resize columns

If I use the Finder's "Find.." command under the File menu, a window appears that allows me to enter my serach criteria.
However when I do so and a list of entries is presented, there appears to be no way to resize the columns!
Als, unlike a normal Finder window, it does not present you with column headings that you can sort on (yes, you can still access this level of control by going to "Show View Options".
Try it. I know that a normal Finder window allows you to do this, but not a "Find" window.
I have no idea why they use a different design style for the "Find" results window. The standard Finder list view window at least has the proper controls on it (ability to resize, ability to slect which column to sort upon, ability to slect sort order up or down, etc.)
Any ideas as to how to fix these problems?

David.
You'll need to select View>Arrange By>None to get the ability to adjust columne width.
You can also get at it by clicking the little gear icon in the tool bar.

BO XI R2 - "Blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window - attempt to print report

My company recently set up a Business Object Enterprise XI Release 2 server. On the server are a number of crystal reports that are run interactively by users, through the user console. The expectation is that the user will log on to the BI server, click on the report title, enter the parameters, see a preview of the report in the Crystal Report Viewer, then click the print icon on the Crystal Report Viewer toolbar.
Our corporate standard is current Windows XP SP3, with Internet Explorer 8; By default, users are set up to use the DHTML report viewer. The reports were developed with the Crystal Reports XI R2 report designer, and connect to an Oracle 10g database through Oracle client.
When users attempt to view, then print the reports, the user is able to select the report, enter the parameters, view the report data, and even page through the report preview with no issues. However, when the user attempts to print the report by clicking the print icon on the Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar, a blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up and remains indefinitely.
The really puzzling thing about this issue is that for about 1/3 of our users, printing will work - a print dialog will appear, allowing the user to select a printer, and when the user clicks OK, the report will print. For the other 2/3 of our users, the blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up.
I have added the BO XI R2 server's address to trusted sites, adopted the lowest security settings for trusted sites, and enabled all activity I could think of in IE security settings (ActiveX controls-related). I also ran the web site in compatibilitiy mode.
Has anyone on this forum experienced this issue, and does anyone here know how to resolve it?
Thank you,
Bob Gardner

I suspect that this behavior occurs because the client computer is unable to download ActiveX controls.
The report viewer requires the PrintControl.dll to print reports from the client computer. The PrintControl.dll downloads automatically if it has not been previously downloaded on to the client computer, provided that the user that is currently logged on is able to download ActiveX controls.
To enable the download of ActiveX controls on the client computer, perform the following steps:
1) Open your Internet Explorer.
2) From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3) In the Security tab, select the web content zone that corresponds to your web application.
4) Click Custom Level.
5) In the Security Settings dialog box, scroll down to find the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section.
6) Select Enable or Prompt for the Download signed ActiveX controls item.
7) The print dialog box will now appear successfully when clicking the print button in the report viewer.
If the above does not help, try to troubleshoot this as follows:
1) click the print button (this will cause a postback to the web page) and then cancel the print dialog. right-click in the web page and select "View Source".
2) Search for the word "printcontrol.cab". This will show you where the application is trying to download the printcontrol from.
Paste the URL into a browser.
3) If you get prompted to "open or save to disk" the url is correct and there is a browser setting or possibly even a system policy preventing the download.
4) If you get a "404 page not found" or a similar error message, investigate the URL.
5) If the issue is on your local web server, see if it is possible to browse to the URL in IIS manager.

How do I get rid of icons around Finder's window?

How do I get rid of icons (mere document shortcuts) around Finder's window (in the frame, the grey area). They were not there in the first place, just got there somehow. For example on the left side I have: documents, desktop, applications, movies (there are all good).... and a silly pdf document that shouldn't be there. I can't move it or bin it, it just stays there...
There are also more such icons (shortcuts to documents) across the top of that window: amongst the "View", "Action", "Dropbox" icons (which are all good), there are also shortcuts to pdf documents or folders of documents which were never meant to end up there... How can I clean this up?
Thanks for any info!

Files missing in finder view

Recently, I have noticed that files are missing from the finder view. The files are still there (they show up in a "find" or spotlight search and will list if the directory is accessed over the network.) It is as if the files are hidden.
I have tried several ways to refresh the window, none do anything.
If I know the filename and "search it" in the finder window, it will show up. After I "cancel" the search parameters, the file/folder is visible again.
The first time I noticed this, I had a complete list of files in a window. I clicked on the one that I needed, and it vanished from view. This happened on several other files as well.
Any ideas?

I found the solution to my own problem. It is an issue with ChronoSync, a third party sync program. They are fixing the problem in the next version of the program (a beta is available now, which seems to have fixed things).

How do I undock the viewer window?

Finder View options won't stay set 10.7.2

Finder view options need resetting each time i log out or restart. How can i make them permanent?
Finder window has no locational or size memory, reverting to a default size and position on start up?
Any ideas how to fix this greatly appreciated

I finally know what causes folders to lose their view settings - even if you have set them to "Always open in..." a particular view (but I do not know how to fix it).
The trigger is setting any window to "column" view. Try it.
(1) Create a new folder, and set it to your preferred view (but not column view). Close the folder and re-open it to verify that it is in the view you have set. You can even set it to "Always open in..." that view, if you like (it doesn't matter).
(2) Now open up any other finder window or folder, and switch it to column view. If it is already in column view, switch it to some other view and then back to column view.
(3) Now go back to the folder you created in step 1 and open it. Presto: column view. (Aargh!)
I confirmed this with a helpful and sympathetic Apple support staffer at the Genius Bar in my local Apple Store. Unfortunately, he had no solution, but noted it as an apparent bug in the 10.7 finder.
This is an extremely reliable behavior, that I have confirmed on 5 different machines all running 10.7.2. It is also an extremely frustrating behavior that I hope Apple fixes soon.

P.S. I will copy this to similar threads where this is being discussed, in hopes that it is helpful. Sometimes understanding why something happens can make it a little less frustrating, even if you don't know how to fix it.
