What happened to Finder's List View?

Back in Leopard, I used to be able to click on Name to get a folder sorted by Name (acsending) click on it again for descending order. Same with other columns showing. I used to be able to drag out the column width of names to actually read long filenames (IIRC) wow- how useful that is.
Can't do any of this in (bug mecca) Lion... and suggesetions?

So to return a list view to old state where above is possible I need to goto the "Change the item arrangement" Drop down and set it to none.

What happened to the ipad photo viewer in lock screen?

What happened to the ipad photo viewer in lock screen? I updated to iOS 7.0 and nolonger have the slide show and music while in lock sreen. This was the most used feature of my iPad since I put it in a dock on my desk. Is there another way to do that.

I 100% agree with ski-doug!!!
I use iPad 50% of the time to play music and display photos for my customers!!!
I also have seen many a business display picture slideshows to their incoming customers without granting access to the device!
I realize many will save personal pictures to their iPads and thus they will not want easy acces to them, and they could block this feature in previous iOS.
Please, please, please Apple, DO NOT generalize and figure we are all the same!
Please reuturn this feature!
Sincerely...
Monteh!
PS It would be awesome if it could display all My Pics instead of just an album!

"Arrange by..." options are greyed out in Finder's List View.

Hey there, just a quick one...
I'm having trouble arranging my files/folders by Name, Date Modified, Size etc when in List View. This is fine in my regular Finder window but I clearly remember being able to do when (for example) Saving, Opening and all other popup Finder windows in earlier versions of OS X.
I should also say that I do have TotalFinder installed but I believe it was a problem even without it installed.
Here's a pic to demonstrate what I mean. In normal Finder windows there is a little drop down arrow when you hover, making each catagory a button essentially. This is what it looks like when I'm trying to Open, Save As or something similar... Greyed out, essentially. Problem highlighted in yellow.
Any ideas, suggestions or general help you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Could it be just somethign as similar as a System Preferences option or even holding down a key etc? Cheers.

Click the Arrange button on the toolbar and select the desired option.

Inconsistent and incorrect file icons in finder window list view

I have been seeing incorrect file icons in finder windows noteably for PDF files the last couple of weeks on my office MacMini running 10.5.8. Some just look messed up. Some switched and looked like Evernote files, but they open correctly in the default application - Preview.
Get info would show the same incorrect icon, but correctly show Preview as the default application.
Just now I tried clicking on CoverFlow view and when I went back to List view, the icons looked correct again.
What type of system maintenance if any is needed to correct this issue? Note, these files continue to display correctly on my home iMac where these files are synced.

Thanks for the reply Baltwo.
I followed your directions. After the restart the PDF icons were all displayed correctly.
However, some .doc file icons were blank. Selected one, got info, set it to open with MSWord and then clicked "apply to all." Most, but not all now display the Word logo. Some remain blank, although get info reveals they are set to open with Word. Will another restart fix this or is there another suggestion?
I will be away from this computer till Monday.

What happens to old Reading List items?

In Safari 7 what happens to items in the Reading List after they are read? Are they deleted automatically? If so, when? (I know it is not right away.)
In previous versions the items flagged as "Read" would be grayed out, and I could clear them one by one to keep them from cluttering things up. In the newest version, however it seems to be impossible to tell which ones are "Read" without right-clicking and examining the context menu.
Even better, of course, would be a button or menu option to clear the "Read" items en masse.

I am probably telling you something you already know, but if you pull down on the Bookmarks - Reading List - Shared Links pane while viewing your Reading List, you can choose between "All" and "Unread." The options are hidden just above the search bar in Reading List.
Also, you can right-click (control click) on the list to mark an item as read/undread, remove an item, or clear all items.
But you're right, there's no easy way to separate the "read" from the "unread."

How do you PRINT a Finder window list view?

Hello all.
I think a long time ago in OS9, we can open a new (Finder) Window, switch to 'List' view and print the window, so that we can see all the nested folders, etc.
Can we/How do we do this in OS X? Can't seem to find a Print command...
Thanks and cheers

Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys, followed by the spacebar, click in the window, open the png on the desktop, and print that.

Finder Issues - List View, etc

I have been having some increasing issue with Finder (Won't close, etc).
For instance, Finder will not LIST VIEW files that are in the Documents folder (on the computer) Only icon or column view. It will list view items on an external drive.
I tried to reinstall the operating system (SL) but no avail. Any ideas? Thanks!

The only other thing I can think of that could cause this behavior is the DS_Store.
Let's try removing it. Launch Terminal.
Enter:
cd /
Press Return.
Next enter:
rm /.DS_Store
Press return
This should set your Finder back to default.

What happened to App Category list?

Hello!
The very useful sorting of App Store apps into a Category list has been replaced with an "App Store Quick Links" list. Useful if I'm looking for 'Apps for Foodies' and just a few other categories with cutesy names, but useless if I want to browse Travel or Productivity or Reference or other apps. What happened to the comprehensive category list?
Thanks.

Hover your mouse over "App Store" in the iTunes store top toolbar and use the white arrow to display the categories list and make your choice.
Or use the "Power Search" link on the iTunes Store home page, select Apps and choose the categories and devices you wish.

What happened to being able to view links in PDFs on the iPad?

We create our board packets in Adobe Acrobat on a computer then send them to our board members who receive them on their iPads. When we create them on the computer, we make specific words links so that during the board meeting, our board members can tap on the word and it jumps them to the pay within their packets that discuss that topic. We also make links at the bottom of the pages of each section to take them back to the agenda page (they say "back to top"). Over the last couple months, we've noticed these links don't show up when we open the board packets in the Adobe Reader app on the iPads, but they did used to show up. They show up in the file if I open it on my computer. They also don't show up on a file I have uploaded to Google Drive for our board members to access. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to get this working again?
Thanks!

Hi jcwords,
Results may vary depending on how hyperlinks are defined in your PDF documents.
Here's an example of the PDF document containing the hyperlinks that work in Adobe Reader for iOS.
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-cre ate-pdf-files-tutorial-ue.pdf
You can transfer the file to your iPad/iPhone, open it in Adobe Reader for iOS, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and tap one of the links: "Convert PDF to Word", "Convert PDF to Excel", etc.
Adobe Reader for iOS will display the confirmation dialog and open it in Safari (web browser) as expected.
What happens when you tap the hyperlinks in your PDF documents (that are generated by the latest version of Acrobat)? Does it do anything? Do you see an error message?
It is possible that (a) the hyperlinks for web pages in your PDF documents are not defined correctly or (b) Adobe Reader for iOS has a defect that prevents the hyperlinks from working correctly.
We need to take a look at individual PDF documents to properly diagnose the cause of the problem.
Would you share one of your PDF documents with us (Adobe)? I can send the instructions on how to privately share your PDF document(s) with us in a separate email. If you don't mind sharing a PDF document in this public forum, you can provide the public link to your PDF document using "Share Public Link" in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Thank you for your help.

What happened to the Adobe Help Viewer or Center for CS4?

What happened to the great help program that CS2 and then CS3 had? I don't seen any such program for CS4!!!!
Thanks, --bill

The help system has been changed again. If you are online the Help menu takes you to the Adobe Community Help Center (link to help is on the right), otherwise it loads a local copy from your computer.
You can use the PDF copy of the manual on your installation discs or download it from the Community Help Center.

What happened to my contacts list in Yosemite mail

I use to have a pull down list of contacts that I could pick and choose (holding down the Command Key) several addressees. I can't find that pull down list. Selecting the + only allows one selection at a time, not several.

Dick2111,
I appreciate your response, but I would hardly call it an acceptable work around. Your work around only applies if you "pidgeon hole" folks into distinct groupings or contact lists. I enjoyed and fully utilized the pull down menu in Mountain Lion. I would enter the BCC field, access the pull down menu of addressees, and double click on each one that I wanted to copy into the BCC field. Then, with Maverick's, they diminished the ability to double click and finally came up with a "work around" my having to hold down the Command key as I selected individual contacts to move to the BCC field. That was totally acceptable and I appreciated the escalation and work on the Engineers part. This work around was only produced after my trouble call was elevated to Senior Engineers. Now even the Command key option is gone with Yosemite, and the only response I got from Apple Customer Support was to report it via the "feedback" page. That to me is not unresponsive, but pretty close to it.
It might be an "oversight" but to me is either sloppy programming or perhaps deleting what is thought as infrequently used features to incorporate new features without "growing" the size of the Operating System.
I know i am wrong, but right now I feel it is part of the overall migration plan to an eventually have just one operating system for all Apple platforms, which (tongue in cheek) means if ya can't do it with your thumbs, it can't be important. I am not sure if there are any third party programs out that address this issue, but I'm not a real fan of replacing Apple core programs with 3rd party stuff, but I may have no choice. Bummer!
