What does the "Clean Up Selection" option when you right click icons do?

The title of the thread explains my question. Haven't found anything on it in the threads or in Mac Help. Thanks!

When you have one item selected, it does nothing of value.
However, when you have multiple items selected it reorganizes the items so that they're evenly spaced, not overlapping, etc.
Of course, if the icons are already neatly arranged you still won't see any difference, but try moving a few things around (or overlapping icons) then try again.

  • I am dual booting my mackbook pro with windows 7 64 bit. Yesterday it started locking up at the disk drive selections screen, when you hold down the "option" butting when powering on. I have been searching all morning, and so far nothing. Thanks. :)

    Hey folks,
    I have been using bootcamp for months now with windows 7 64 bit, and its been fine, yesterday while I was rebooting to do some gaming, at the hard drive selection screen when you boot holding the "options" butting down, it locks up when I select the windows drive and just sits there for ever. It doesn't throw an error, it boots fine into Lion.
    I searched all morning and didn't find anything, was hoping that someone might have an idea.
    Thanks in advance

    Search again. Microsoft has tips on what to do and Windows has a number of features
    system restore points
    automatic system repair using the Win7 DVD
    system restore image creation
    Just like you would with OS X Lion and Lion Recovery and Repair
    Use WinClone 3 www.twocanoes.com $20 to make an image just like you would with Disk Utility Restore or Carbon Copy Cloner
    rollback to last known good boot check point
    rollback a driver or program or any changes
    clean out temp files
    clean registry
    chkdsk

    or imagine you import large images sequence (200 hundred) and
    need to reposition them all :)
    The edit multiple frames options comes handy in such case...

    Hi Velvalee,
    While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

  • HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    "Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    iMessages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Music library database index (but not the music itself)
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

  • What controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?

    Hi, I have had a student ask me a question I cannot answer: what controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?
    I have only seen it appear as a black semicircle over each letter, but at a different computer in our training facility, this same tool appears as an aqua-green highlight.
    Is it a preference I never noticed? Thanks for any info.

  • I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

  • Why there is only "New folder" option when I right click on "Windows\System32" folder ?

    Hi,
    someone can explain me why when I right click on some specific folders, I only have the right to create new folder but not to create new document or new text file ? 
    Is there a way to add more options when I right click on those folders ?
    Thank you

    Because there's a DACL that allows to create folders (you are in an
    appropriate group allowed to do so), and there's a second DACL that
    allows for creating or modifying files (you are NOT in an appropriate
    group to do so).

  • Is it possible to have Flash open the menu when you right click a link?

    I'm using sIFR 3 on a few of my websites. Personally I think it's a really cool and nice solution. I have had no issues with it so far except what I've recently discovered.
    When you right click on a link (or control click on a mac) it should have the normal menu you'd get if you clicked on a regular HTML link. Also when you hover over the link it doesn't display the status in the status bar (i.e. the URL the link will take you to if you click it).
    Anyways, I'm trying to come up with a workaround to this (personally I think the developers should have already thought of one but I guess not). That being said I'm wondering if Flash can do something like that. Is there a code I can put in the Actionscript to tell it to open up the browser menu when someone right clicks or control clicks a link?
    For some reason I'm thinking this isn't possible without JavaScript but I have had some people telling me in the current version of Flash it isn't possible at all. I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's opinion.
    To see what I'm talking about check out this website I'm building here... http://dev.thinktecmediagroup.com/fibre-federal/
    Notice that the top navigation (and side navigation) is all done using sIFR. IF you try and right click (or control click on Mac) on one of the links you'll see nothing happens.

    Probleme solved without having to change anything in the flash.
    The solution was to add a small part in the CSS in HTML
    html {
    overflow-x: hidden;
    overflow-y: auto;
    Solve probleme. All browser. VERY usefull to know !

  • I'm in Safari, is there a way to change the order when you right click a link? Just upgraded to Mavrick OS

    You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

  • Where is PLIST to "OPEN WITH" when you right click on a file ?

    When I right click on a file to open it using the "OPEN WITH" command it shows two or three of the SAME applications. For example it shows preview, preview, and preview if I right click on a picture on my desktop. These are ghost icons that all open the same version of preview.
    I think a plist file is messed up but what one takes care of the 'OPEN WITH' command when you right click on an icon?
    I would like a few opinions of possible or any ideas.
    These started after I cloned my hard drive. I cloned it with three different applications and all produce the same results.
    Thanks

    red_menace you are Not a menace. You are a genius. It fixed my problem!
    I put this code in the terminal:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart.
    IT WAS FIXED!!!
    THANKS A MILLION!!

  • My CD/DVD drive runs constantly. Also, when you right click, only get outline of box, not info within box

    CD/DVD drive runs constantly when Firefox is open, sometimes when not open as well. Also, when you right click within Firefox, you just get outline of box, but no info inside box. I have to shutdown computer and restart.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
