When I try to set a default for viewing all folders using the view options, it fails to apply this view to all folders. What am I doing wrong?

I open the 'view options', select the mode of viewing I want, click the 'always open in' and push the use as defaults button... this, by all accounts, should work to apply this mode of viewing to ALL my folders and subfolders... yet it does not.

I've had to work on this a little before it "stuck" to my preference; it appears that if you open a folder within a folder and set the option, it will apply to that and any within that, but not up a level. So you need to make sure you have it set at the top folder level and you have it set like this:
Also, if you have a folder in the dock, you will need to either control click it or - in my case I want column view - you need to Command click the folder and it'll open in column view. I've not liked this "feature" since it was changed in Snow Leopard; previously, you could just click on the folder and it would open the way you had it set.

    Sorry you are having problems. Can you give an example preferably of some small publicly available file and the site you are trying to download it from ?
    As a simple example of a download (ok it is a .png image file not not a .exe file) but can you try to download a copy of your avtar/icon, as used on these forums. In Windows one method is that you right click & should get an option save. <br/> Mine alongside uses the link
    * https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/avatars/avatar-257447.png
    Are you able to download such an image, then see it in your download manager, and find it on your computer.
    Once you have got Firefox to save your binary file you can use it. In the case of the .exe file you are trying to download that should be usable as intended with your Windows Operating System, the avatar also should be easily opened and viewed.
    P.S.
    You could try installing the add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/ if you wished to adapt Firefox to run .exe files instead of just save them.

  • When I try 'restore from iTunes Backup' for new iPhone it says the 'backup "(name)" cannot be restored to this iPhone because the software on the iPhone is too old'

    I don't know how to resolve this so I can set up the phone?
    It's an upgrade from 4S to 5S if that's any help and I have checked if there are any updates which have not been done on the old phone and it says there isn't.

    How are you trying to do this?
    Plug it into your computer, open iTunes, select it in iTunes then click Restore Backup...

  • I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID.

    I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID. I've set the new ID for the phone, but it defaults to the old one when asking for a password to update apps.

    That's because all apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & can only be updated using that ID.
    To use your new ID with these apps, you'll have to delete them, then repurchase. Or, contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID.

  • I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

    I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    When I try to set up my time capsule it says that the PPPoE Server is not found... What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thanks !

    You are using PPPoE but there is no server to authenticate against.. or the modem is already connected and nothing else can join.
    Is this ADSL?
    Do you have the modem in bridge?
    How does it work with the modem working as router? ie what type of connection does your ISP supply.. eg PPPoE is only one.. PPPoA is another.. IPoA or ETHoA.. and sever other more specialised.. PPPoE can only work where it is supported.

  • When i try to watch synced video on my itouch i get "the requested url cannot be found on this server".  I am able to watch the video on my pc in itunes.  however, i cannot watch it on my itouch.

    When i try to watch synced video on my itouch i get "the requested url cannot be found on this server".  I am able to watch the video on my pc in itunes.  However, i cannot watch it on my itouch.  It shows in the video window that the video is there but when i select it to watch it i get the message and then it goes back to the video menu.  It's like it's not really syncing - even though it shows on my itouch.  It doesn't seem to be specific to videos downloaded to the itouch directly or itunes directly.  It's happening to both.

    This is happening to me too. I recently purchased about 4 music videos from iTunes, 3 of them play on both my pc and my iPod Touch but there's one particular music video that will only play on my pc and gives me the same "The requested url cannot be found on this server" message when I try to play it on my iPod. Can someone please rectify?

    Easy maybe, but a lot of users are used to playing the movies in iTunes on their computers so that is the first place they turn to on the iPad.

    When I try to set one of my photos as the walpaper, it zooms in on the photo. How do I stop it from doing so?

    Hello joecarusoinc
    The reason it zooms in on the picture is to give a sense of depth perception and not have any black space with the photo. If you want to reduce the amount of zoom try turning on Reduce Motion to see if that will work for you.

  • Have airport extreme, square model, have a external harddrive to use as back up(formated for mac)hooked it up to the usb port in back. can't find it on my computer. what am i doing wrong

    have the airport extreme, square model. have a external harddrive formated for mac hooked up to the usb port in back.
    i can't find the harddrive on the computer for back up in timemachine. what am i doing wrong?

    First, if you are not aware, you need to know that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    That may be part of the problem here, so if you want to continue to try this, you need to understand that there are no guarantees of success.
    Some users do seem to be able to make this work, but most have some problems and some....like me....have nothing but problems when they try this.
    If you want to continue to try this, the first thing to verify is that the drive is formatted specifically in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Have you verified that the drive is formatted correctly by connecting it directly to your Mac and using Disk Utility to check?
    Some drives that are advertised as being "compatible for Mac" are not formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Time Machine has no chance of success unless the drive is first formatted correctly.
    I would also ask that you consider leaving the drive connected to your Mac for Time Machine backups. That will be supported, and is a far more reliable way to keep backups if your data is important to you.
    Next, we need to know what operating system you are running on your Mac. If you do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac.  Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • PHE 6.0 get error when I try to search my computer for pics to put in the program.

    I go to file and click get photos and videos by searching. It finds all the files then an error comes up saying import failed.
    I really need help with this.
    thanks.

    Try repairing the catalog through File->Repair.It may be that the catalog is corrupted that's why this message is given to the user.
    Also if you try to import file directly are you able to do so.You can do this by going to File->Get file and folders from.A dialog box will open up and then you can browse to that location.

  • Set a timeout for crystal sessions while using the Windows.Forms.Viewer?

    Hi,
    I am looking for a way to set the timeout for the crystal report sessions when using the Windows.Forms.Viewer in a .NET application. I guess that the default value is 20 minutes (like in the entperprise installations) but we cannot afford to keep many sessions open for that long. Is there a registry entry which can be set? Or even a way to do this programmatically?
    Thank you in advance,
    Stratos

    Hi David,
    we are talking here about a standalone .NET application where the reports are installed locally (like the application itself). We are not retrieving the reports from a server. The whole thing was developed using the crystal report viewer model probably because it was easier to do so. Is there a method in this model to tell the crystal runtime to do the clean-up work either for a report (like the ReportDocument.Close() ) or for the entire runtime instance. Dispose() does not seem to help us. If you say that there is no other way than redesign then we have to consider this option also.
    Cheers
    Stratos
    PS: What I was thinking of (as Plan B instead of using the ReportDocument object model) is to instantiate the crystal report viewer object in a separate process (.exe). Please note that we open a new crystal report viewer windows for each report, which is displayed. Closing the viewer window (ie. terminate the process) will at least then clean up and release the crystal DLLs and hopefully close the database connections. Or am I missing something here?

  • How to set a default value in my DropDown using the key  ?

    Hello All,
      Can someone advose how I can achieve the above ? I will like to know how to select a default value for the dropdown by key using the key value instead of description.
      The reason why I need to do so instead o fusing description is because my application will populate the dropdown using web services based on the language selection. Hence, if I were to set the default value using description, den other languages will not work anymore.
      Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you !!

    KWok Wei

    Kwok,
    Assuming that:
    1. You have a node NodeX, where attribute TargetAttr defined
    2. You have a DropDownByKey UI control, its property selectedKey bound to NodeX.TargetAttr attribute
    Then:
    Place in your code:
    wdContext.currentNodeXElement().setTargetAttr("yourKey");
    VS
    P.S. This topic was raised several times, and forum search works good enough to find an answer
