What is the command key to arrange folders

I want finder to auto arange my folders by name. I have to constantly go to the menu and click arrange is there a way to set it to do this automatically? Or a command key to do this?
Thanks

Open a Finder window and make sure it's set to icon view.
Select "View -> Show View Options". In the options select whether you want these settings to apply to this window only or to all windows.
Check the "Keep Arranged By" checkbox and select "Name" from the pop-up menu.
Close the options window. Now as you add new files/folders to the window they should be automatically re-arranged by name.

  • What are the command keys for sharing my photos to others in my house

    I am the primary user of our Mac and have all of our photos on my desktop. My wife and kids also have accounts, but want access to the photos on my iPhoto. I called Apple support some time ago and they gave me a series of keystrokes/ instructions so that photos share across the 3 other users in my house...can't remember it.
    Any thoughts?

    If you want the other user(s) to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • What is the default key command for the COMMAND key?I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key it hides all windows or shows desk top I need to correct this as soon as possible-.any ideas?

    What is the default key command for THE COMMAND (apple) key? I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key (only) it hides all open windows and shows the desk top and when I push it again it shows all windows again...I need to return to default A.S.A.P. just this one key...Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

    Go to
     > System Preferences > Keyboard
    Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
    As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

    I installed new hard drive and I am trying to restore from time machine external back up. I restarted the computer and held the Command key and the R and the restore utility does not appear. what can I do

    Command + R keys are for Macbooks running Lion and Mountian Lion only. ( i could be wrong on this)
    you have a couple of options:
    Do a clean install of Snow Leopard via Install DVD.
    Clone your old hard drive to your new hard drive via Carbon Copy Cloner
    Or click on the link below to give you a better idea.
    Hope you get it sorted out.

  • I can't order more than one picture at a time in iphoto.  I am holding the command key down and highlighting two but only the last one is showing up

    Hi,
    I need help placing an iphoto order online for prints.  I have a few pictures I want in a few sizes and it seems to only allow me to select one at a time.  I have held the command key down but it defaults to the last picture i selected.  I appreciate your help.

    What system and iPhoto versions are you using?  As a quick test try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.  See if you can get all of the selected photos in the order window as it should be.
    If you can't then try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • HT4848 What is the "option key" reffered to in these instructions, I don't have a key marked options?

    What is the "option key" referred to in the instructions for using a recovery disc?

    The Option Key (along with Control and Command) will be on keyboards made by Apple and some 3rd party keyboards made specifically for Macs. Other USB keyboards will work but may have Windows-specific markings.
    The key layouts from left to right on Mac keyboards are (bottom row):
    Control - Option - Command - Space Bar - Command - Option - Control
    If you are using a Windows keyboard, the layout is the same but they keys could be marked differently. In other words, the leftmost key will be the Control key when booted into MacOS regardless of what is marked on it for when you are booted into Windows OS.
    Some compact keyboards might eliminate the left or right keys, but there will always be at least one set. For example it could be:
    Control - Option - Command - Space Bar -
    There are also symbols used to describe these keys in support documents.
    ^ is Control
    A stairstep looking symbol is Option
    A cloverleaf looking symbol is Command
    Some people will refer you to the "Apple Key". There is no such thing but it is common for the Command key to be referred to this way as on many Apple keyboards the Apple Character is on that key. It is usually not on 3rd party keyboards, which is why you should always refer to it as the Command key, since referring to it as the Apple key will confuse many users. Apple never refers to this as the "Apple Key".
    Alternative name for Option key is Alt, but again Apple never refers to it as Alt; it is there for Windows/UNIX compatibility.

  • Using the command key wont move file

    when i click and hold the command key and try to move any folder to another location, it copies file.
    what am i doing wrong?
    thanks

    try  the different keys, command, option, control ?
    To Move the file or folder from the source drive to the destination drive, click and hold down the mouse button on the file or folder.  The file or folder will be highlighted. Then, while holding the control button on your keyboard, drag the file or folder from the source drive window to the destination drive window and let go of the mouse button. The file or folder will disappear from the source drive and will now only be found on the destination drive.

    I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
    Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

  • Is there a way to operate the command key using the mouse?

    I am working with a student who has limited movement of his hands. He is able to operate a mouse. However, he cannot operate the mouse and make key commands at the same time. Is there any way to adapt the mouse so command key actions can be carried out without pressing the key?

    Look inside System Preference "Universal Access" (or whatever even more politically correct name it is called now).
    There is a feature called "Sticky keys". That says that when you press the command key in a certain way, it stays pressed (It is "Sticky").
    There are also two and three button mouse devices that can be used readily on a Mac (including the "Mighty Mouse" with the little rollerball) that can register one, two, or three button operations.

  • How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

    I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off.  In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session.  Speaking only
    for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

    Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
    and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
    Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.
