Weird folder position problem

OK I am going to try and explain this the best that I can.
1. I go into my "Full CDs" folder on my storage drive
2. Inside that folder is over 100 folders. I view this folder in "Icon" view mode
3. Say I scroll down to a folder that starts with the letter "R" like "Rage Against The Machine"
4. I go into the folder and look around a bit
5. I hit the back button that returns me to the "Full CDs" folder
6. The problem is that I am no longer in the "R" section anymore but now I start at the very top of the folders in the "A" section.
Now I know in XP and Vista when you go into a folder and then back out, it will "remember your position" in the folder and you will not be returned to the top of the folder. I hope I have explained everything in detail enough. I am using v10.5.2. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks!

There is no inherent "A" or "R" section in icon view -- it is a free form view that allows you to group icons however you want. You can override this with the 'arrange by ...' & 'snap to grid' view options, but this is a dynamic (on-the-fly) ordering & may or may not be by name. (In an inherently ordered view like list view, you are returned to the same scroll point in the window.)
So to be more precise, the issue with Leopard in icon view is that you are always returned to the default top left +area of the window+, in which the last folder opened may sometimes not be visible, depending on the number of items in the window & their icon size & spacing.
This apparently is by design & is linked to the (to me annoying) Leopard feature of a global default view mode (sometimes referred to as a "preferred" view) instead of Tiger's "sticky" view-per-window behavior. That is supposedly intended to reduce user confusion when switching from one folder to another in the same window; presumably, this is for the same reason.
I think both are poor design decisions. If you agree, let Apple know through the feedback link; otherwise, the behavior(s) won't get changed.

Can't save pictures on original folder position after edit...since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

can't save pictures on original folder position after edit, get save popup to save at different position, also still on toubles to get them back to original folder positon since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

I say the problem is probably noted, and probably will be resolved. Not that i can speak for Apple. I find the "problems" of wallpaper to be pretty minor compared to the advantages of iOS 7. The fun of wallpaper has always been pretty insignificant here.

Last Folder Position

anyone know how to fix this? finder forgets last folder position!! i already trashed the finder plist and still no avail. no matter what program i am in - save as always goes to the user documents folder. i dont want that to happen! worked fine before the snow leopard update. please help!

See if you have the problem in another account. Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the Finder in this new account, if it work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide. Either way we'll know what to troubleshoot.

Applications Folder Permissions Problem

I did a maverick clean install.
Everything seemed fine but now a few days later...
I am constantly told I have to authenticate
and this morning if I try and take anything out of app folder
I am told I don't have permission to do this.
suggestions?
can you be a little more specific.What are you doing when it asks to athenticate? For the Applications folder, that is normal, but... what are you moving and to where
For ten years, because I deal with a lot of apps
I have kept folders in my apps folder called:
- Archive (When an app is never getting used but it's not time yet to get rid of it...
the app goes in there.)
- A/V Apps
- Mind Map Apps
- 3rd Party Utilities
- Online Marketing Apps
- Social Networking Apps
However, since installing Mavericks...
If I try and drop an app in any of these folders...
I am not even asked to authenticate.
I am just told I don't have permission to perform this task.
When I get info on these folders...
- Apps Folder: admin R/W
- Archive: admin read only
- A/V Apps: admin read only
- Mind Map Apps: admin read only
- 3rd Party Utilities: admin R/W
- Online Marketing Apps: admin R/W
- Social Networking Apps: admin read only
1. I can't unlock the get info permissions window on any of these folders.
2. If I try to drag an item from one admin R/W folder to another admin R/W folder...
I am told I don't have permission to perform this task.
3. If I drag an item from any of these folders into the Apps folder, no problem.
At this moment, this problem seems isolated to the apps folder.
I can drag and drop without problem everywhere else.
Has the permissions structure of the Apps folder
radically changed with Mavericks?

Your ACLs have gone awry and need to repair your OS X installation. Use the Recovery Mode and reinstall OS X on top of your install and it should correct the errors.
I too have nested folders in my Applications folder and the structure migrated over from Snow Leopard to Mavericks intact. See picture below.
On a day to day basis I use my Mac as a standard user, which does not have permissions to modify the Apllications folder or its contents. However, when I install, move, trash or replace an App, Mavericks prompts me for an Admin user name and password.
When I 'move' an App from one Application nested folder to another, it 'Copies' it after authentication; hence I have to delete the original (once again after authenticating with an Admin name and password).
Now when I am logged into an Administrator account (which I rarely do), I can install, copy, move and delete Apps and folders at will without further authentication.
The above behaviour works as expected. Below is a pic of the permissions of my Applications folder. All enclosed items inherit the same permissions.

Weird Folder Problem (Directory Folder changed to Unix Excecutable file?)

I didn't know where to put this so mods, feel free to move this to the section it needs to be under.
I'm running Mavericks on an iMac and had an external HDD attached to my iMac. However, I wanted to reach the files on the ex-hdd from my other computers also, so I moved the external hdd and attached it to my time capsule instead.
All was OK for the first few days, but now I'm needing to edit some photos from the external hdd, and now one of the file directories has changed from a folder containing all my blogs' important files to a folder I cannot open, a unix expectable file?
That folder had all my backups and blog files in it, and is extremely important. I haven't changed any settings at all. I've had to create another folder to store new files, but I really need to access the files in that folder.
It's showing as 46MB so I'm hoping that my files are in there somehow, but is there anyway to access them and rescue?
Now who can coming running to this damsel in distress? Looks like the time has come for double backups on different locations.
Thanks in advance.
Lisa.

1. Creation now shows as 1981! And modified still showing in 2040.
2. No.
3. No, mainly large resolution and web resolution photos. Database backups, file backups from the blog, my media kit, and generally just files relating to the blog. All of which are hugely important to me, too. If it had happened to any other folder on that drive, I wouldn't be too upset. Pfft!

Weird folder problem

Hi guys, we've got a NAS server in the office we use to save stuff on and it's mapped to drive letter X. but the odd thing is when we start up photoshop it creates a folder on the X drive, and i have to keep deleting it - it's really annoying actually. it's just on photoshop startup and not any other apps. and you delete the folder and next time you start photoshop up again bang it's back. and it's confusing cos it's making a folder with that computer's username or windows name etc (home folder name i'd call it on linux i suppose but we use windows at work)... so people are going into that folder at work instead of the actual user folder by accident.
can anyone help stop this
cheers

i wonder if anyone knows a way to log the startup of photoshop to check what's doing it?

Some playlists don't show up - weird iPod syncing problems

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere - couldn't find the answer when I was searching the boards last night. Don't know if this is an iTunes problem or an issue with the touch...
Last night, I plugged my iPod touch (1G) into my MacPro to add some new music. This is when things got weird!
First, I noticed that my iPod's name had mysteriously changed since the last time I synced it. It used to be called "Christine's iPod" and now it has reverted to the default "iPod touch."
Next, when I went to add some different playlists to the iPod, I noticed that one of the playlists I wanted to add didn't show up in the Music tab, so I couldn't "tick" it for inclusion on the iPod. This isn't a new playlist, and I have successfully synced it with this iPod in the past. I tried renaming the playlist and making a new playlist with the same songs, and neither of these playlists showed up either. BTW, I definitely don't have too many playlists - I probably have 100-150 playlists total.
Anyway, I restored my iPod and starting from scratch - and the playlist still didn't appear to be available to sync. I ended up adding the playlist by "manually managing" my music, but this isn't an ideal solution. I'd like to be able to sync the playlist!!
Don't know if it's relevant, but my bf also has an iPod touch that he syncs to the same iTunes account. We have separate computer logins, and our iTunes Library is on a shared disk on our MacPro (to prevent needlessly wasting HD space due to song replication) and occasionally we both get messages saying we don't own or don't have permission to access the Library when opening iTunes. To solve this, we alter the permissions on the disk and apply to enclosed items. Maybe this happens after updating iTunes or adding new songs? Not certain what triggers it.
Thanks in advance - this is really bugging me!

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Spry Menu Bar Positioning Problem in IE

I have a Dreamweaver-created Spry Menu Bar drop down menu which works perfectly in every browser on my Mac and on my PC . . . EXCEPT Internet Explorer (who woulda thunk it?!!)
In all browsers except for IE, the 3 submenu items under "Door Systems" and "Gallery" appear exactly as they should in a vertical row, positioned just below the brown line below the navigation links and all the same width. But in IE they appear higher up and with different widths. IE is ignoring the rules for width and position.
<ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="closet_doors_gallery.html">DOOR SYSTEMS</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="sliding_doors_nyc_nj.html">DOOR PROFILES</a></li>
        <li><a href="bifold_doors_nyc_nj.html">PANELS COLORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="room_dividers_nyc_nj.html">DOOR SYSTEM TYPES</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
<ul id="MenuBar3" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">GALLERY </a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">SLIDING DOORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">BI-FOLD DOORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">ROOM DIVIDERS</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
Here is the page where you can see the problem if you view it with IE, and see that it's fine in Safari, and Firefox,    Chrome and Opera, Mac or PC:

Hi and thank you very much. It was a little confusing as to whether you meant to add the rules you suggested or to replace them, or a combination of both, but I puzzled it out. I created a new MenuBarHorizontal.css file in a blank page and then made the changes you suggested and it works! Yay! I had to do a bit of tweaking to get it to look just the way I wanted, but it now works correctly in ie 7 and 8 and still works fine in everything else.
Interestingly enough, I had to change the margin-top: 63px; rule in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible" to 40px to get it positioned properly vertically, and I had to get rid of the "border-bottom: solid 1px #EEE;" in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li", which caused the submenu items to have quite a lot of vertical space between them - I'm not sure why!
I also had to get rid of all the syling rules in the "SUBMENU INDICATION: styles if there is a submenu under a given menu item" section, as well as the one you added: "ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu {
    padding: 0.5em 2em 0.5em 0.75em;"
With that done, it works great in both ie7 and ie8, so thank you for the help. Below is the new css that works, in total.
Not being as familiar with the subtleties of CSS as you and many others obviously are, I'm REALLY curious as to exactly what is different that causes this to work now, and would be happy to hear your expanation, if you feel like taking the time to explain. If not, no problem - it works and that is the most important thing! So, thank you again -
Perry

it is appearing like 1,2,3,4
but at preview mode or through the code if i open
it is appearing like 1, 4,3,2
in preview mode screen painter if i click on the form settings it is showing only..
matrix one columns only it is not showing either 2 or 3
and if i open the form through the code..

                        End If
now through the source code i am able to see the each column under matrix.
but if i change the matrix position at form setting it is changing but
if i click other folder and come back to previous folder..
again the column position is   1, 4,3,2
previously i changed to 1,2,3,4
how can i do it..
screen painter can i change it..
Any information plz update me..

Hi Srinivas,
Can you do one thing for me ? Open your form in screen painter, set the columns as you want to display. Now change the unique id for the matrix. Then try to open it through code or see in preview mode.
Hope it helps.
Thanks & Regards

Weird Finder display problem

Hi, sorry that I don't know how to post image directly, so you have to click the link to go to the picasa site to see the screen captures.
Am having weird display problem with my Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on Macbook Pro 4,1. It's only in Finder item so far, things are randomly mis-displayed, or wiped out completely. If you see my screen shots you will have a clear idea.
Is this a know problem? I don't even know how to search this problem on the web, or in this forum. I never seen such problem on my iMac with Leopard 10.5.7.
Any solutions will be appreciated. Of course, right now restart seems to be the only solution I have.

he general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.

Very weird dialogue box problem

I have been running a 24" IMAC since summer without any problems. We use an older MAC for a server in our office. A couple of days abo my save as and open dialogue boxes developed this weird problem. When I double click on a folder on our server the other folders and files within that folder appear under the original, as if you had turned one of those arrows around only there are no arrows. This is only happening on one hard drive but all programs. It is also only affecting the IMAC other (laptop and G5 etc.) are working fine.
I reintalled OS tiger yesterday but it did not solve the problem and now several of my other programs won't work. I can reinstall them as well but I still need to solve this problem.
I was wondering if deleting preference files would help. I am afraid to try this because I don't know much about it and don't want to make the situation worse.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sound.position problems

Hi,
For some reason mp3.postion and mp3.duration and probably
more dont work when publishing as flash lite 2.0. There is no
problem if i go back to flash 8. The position or duration seem to
stay at 0 when using flash lite 2 even though it supports
actionscript 2.
Anyone got any ideas, is there a patch or is this an
unresolved bug?
Thanks in advance
Greg

The Flash Lite 2.0 player should be able to load the mp3,
atleast it does on my Nokia 6620 s60v2 phone. As to why it does not
on your phone I am uncertain.
I am not sure where ringtones go on s60 v3. The point of this
is to verify that the OS plays the sound, incase there is a problem
with the OS instead of Flash. It is a good idea to verify device
sounds as a ringtone before testing with Flash.
On s60v2 there is a folder called sounds with two folders
below it, one for digital sounds the other for MIDI sounds. You
would place the MP3 inside the digital sounds folder. You then open
the Real Media player and select the MP3 from the saved clips
option in the options menu. This would verify that the phone OS can
actually play the MP3. Flash on s60 has its own mp3 decoder that is
independant of the OS. It is possible that the phone is not able to
play the MP3 because of a bitrate or sample rate incompatibility.
But this is remote.
Sorry I do not have more information to offer.

A possible solution for the folder exclamation or folder! problem

This worked for Windows XP. Don't know if it will work for the Mac but it may.
Three days ago my wife’s iPod, 4th gen 40gb, stopped working. I got the folder exclamation icon (or folder! as some have described it). I hooked it to my laptop and had no joy with it. The system (XP) would see it sometimes as a removable and sometimes as a hard drive. Disk Manager saw it a couple of times but it always took about an hour for it to show up. I messed with it about 5 hours the first night and then decided to take it to the Apple Store the next day. The guys at the Genius Bar had the same problem, this time on a Mac. Told me it was out of warranty and that the best I could do was find someone who could repair it. I’m a tech and I don’t want to mess with it but I’m not going to pay someone $200+ to replace what is essentially a laptop hard drive. So I kept plugging away and researching on the net. I’ve seen a lot of posts concerning the icon as well as a few concerning the partitioning of the drive. I’ve even seen where some people are advocating opening the iPod and shaking the drive which is never a good idea. Nothing really seemed to help so I kept working on it myself.
I did find a solution and it takes a bit of time. It involves deleting the current partition and formatting it again. Since I’m using this on XP I had to format the partition as a Fat32. In order to do this I had to use the Knoppix operating system because Microsoft limited XP’s ability to format Fat32 partitions to 32GB. If you have an iPod that is less than 32gb you may be able to just format it using XP. I also couldn’t get XP to delete the partition so using Knoppix worked out very well since it has a program called QTParted on it that works like Partition Magic. Knoppix is free and does not have to be installed. It runs entirely off of your CDRom drive. If you have about an hour to try this I’d be interested in whether it works for anyone else.
I believe the problem that most people are having comes from the fact that the Fat32 file system is not good for keeping a “clean” hard drive. It tends to leave bits and pieces around and if you update a lot it can affect the hard drive’s performance. I know that Restoring using the updater is supposed to fix this but it appears that the updater software does a quick format. That won’t always fix the problem. By following what I did you will blow away the existing partition and create a new one and format it to the Fat32. This effectively makes it a “clean” hard drive.
Before I walk you through this I just wanted to say that I’ve purposely blown my wife’s iPod away 4 times to make sure that this works. Works like new now and did so after each time I blew it away. You should have seen her face when I did it.
The things you will need and need to do are:
CD Burner (you need to be able to create a disk from an ISO Image
Blank CD
Download a copy of Knoppix 4.0 from http://www.knoppix.com
Download the current version of iPod updater http://www.apple.com/iPod/download/
Make sure your system can boot from CD-Rom (Check your system docs)
About an hour of your time
1. Using your software of choice, burn the Knoppix image to your CD.
2. Place your iPod in Disk Mode. You do that by resetting the iPod and , on 4th gen at least, once it resets immediately hold down the Select+Play/Pause buttons. You should see it say Disk Mode at the top of your screen. Not sure how to do that on other iPods but I figure if you’ve gotten this far you will be able to figure it out.
2. Shut your system down and place the Knoppix cd in your cdrom. Make sure your system will boot from CD
Note: If you are using a laptop you may not be able to use the mouse by default with Knoppix. You can try to enable it when you first start Knoppix. You do this by typing the following at the Boot: prompt.
Knoppix pci=irqmask=0x0e98
If that doesn’t work for you then you may need to hook another mouse to your laptop.
3. Once Knoppix is up go to the K button (located like the start button on XP) and go to the system group. You will see a program called QTParted. Start that program.
4. On the left of the QTParted screen you will see the hard drives on your system. One of them should be your iPod. It should say something like /dev/sda1. Click on that device. In the bottom on the left side for Drive Info I was given the information that it was an Apple iPod and the capacity. Don’t know if everyone will get that but it stands to reason that you should.
5. You should now see the iPod’s partition information on the right side of the screen. I don’t know about anyone else’s but my wife’s had 37mb free and that turned out to be important. Make a note of any unallocated space you may have and keep it for the next step. Highlight the partition and then delete it. Once deleted you will need to go to the upper left corner of the screen. There is a button there to Commit changes that you have made. Click on this button and wait for the process to end.
6. Now to create a new partition. In the right panel right click again on the drive. Select create partition. It will ask you what type of partition you want to create. Select Fat32 and where it gives you the option for the partition size, use the slide bar to leave the amount of space free that was unallocated in step 5. The reason for this is that when I first partitioned my wife’s I used all of the available space and the iPod didn’t like it. Once you have the size set hit OK (or whatever it is to continue). Go again to the upper right and hit the Commit button. Wait for the changes to happen and then shutdown your system, remove the Knoppix cd and then boot again as normal.
7. Once your system has rebooted start the iPod updater. Once it asks you to plug in your iPod connect your iPod and you should be able to Restore it.
As I said I did this 4 times to make sure it worked and each time both the updater and iTunes saw the iPod with no problems.
At this point you should have your iPod back up and running. I apologize if I haven’t been very detailed here but I’m at work and typing this from memory. I wanted to get this out now while I’m thinking about it because I’m getting ready to go away for a couple of months and won’t have time to do this at home.
Let me know if this works for anyone.

mythic: You do NOT have to use FAT32. You don't even have to delete and recreate the partition. All you have to do is format the hard drive of the iPod. That's it. Your procedure will work even if you format the new partition as NTFS.
But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself.
I've done this exact same thing a hundred times, and I never used Knoppix to do it. All you have to do is:
1. Force the iPod into Disk Mode as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 (note that there's a different procedure for 3G and older iPod's!)
2. Start the iPod Updater (on an XP box). Having the Updater open will prevent iTunes from auto-launching and trying to screw around with the iPod.
3. Connect the iPod. It'll show up as a normal drive letter on the PC (if the PC crashes at this point, that's a Windows specific problem, not an iPod one).
4. Use the Disk Management tool (located in Control Panel->Admin Tools->System Management) to format. Doing this as NTFS is perfectly fine. Do not do a quick format.
5. After the format, go back to the updater and hit Restore.
It works every time. I've posted this like a thousand times, but nobody ever seems to pay attention.
Why does it work? It's simple, really. The Updater's Restore process is broken if there are bad sectors in certain locations. Formatting the iPod's partition like that causes it to do a scan for bad sectors. That's why the format takes so long (quick format skips this scan). The reason NTFS works fine is because one of the things the restore process actually does is to rewrite the iPod's partition table, and in the process it converts that NTFS space back into a FAT32 space. So really it makes no difference what that partition is, Restore will overwrite it anyway.
For information's sake, what the Restore process actually does is to write a disk image onto the iPod's drive. This disk image itself is tricky, but the Restore procedure is not particularly complex. You can even extract that image and write it to the iPod yourself in Linux using dd. That works just as well.
Anyway, when the drive won't write to a specific sector, then the Restore program freaks out. Formatting will remap the unwritable sectors and fix the problem. It's the bad sector remapping that's important here, not the partition layout or the filesystem type. Fix the drive problem and the Restore will work.

Weird event display problem in week view

Hi. I'm getting a weird display problem in week view. First time this has ever happened.
Some events appear to be missing, but when i double click on where I know the event is supposed to be, a new event is created (as excepted), and the missing events suddenly appear. When i move forward or back by a week, and then return to the week in question, the missing events are gone again. But, I can see the missing events in day view or month view.
Any ideas?

Dean,
Next, try reinstalling the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo).
If that is unsuccessful:
1. Use iCal>Export...>for each one of your individual calendars.
2. Delete all but one of your calendars.
3. Create a calendar and name it "Test."
4. Delete the calendar which remained after step #2.
5. Quit iCal.
6. Remove the iCal plist, and drag the iCal plist file to your Desktop.
7. Log out/in or restart.
8. Restart iCal and use iCal>File>Import...for each one of the calendars that you exported in step #1.
9. Delete the "Test" calendar, and any "Home/Work" calendar which was automatically created when you opened iCal in step #8.
