Why are icons showing thru folders?

In my dock my app folder my dowload and document folder all has the contents showing thru the folder.

If the Utility folder is the one from the Applications directory, check that the Utility folder is still in the Apps folder and that the desktop one is just a alias (shortcut).  If it's a shortcut or a folder you created and no longer need, drag it to the trash or right click it and select "move to trash".
If it's the Utilities folder containing Activity Monitor, Disk Utility, etc then I would recommend moving it back to the apps folder.

    Have you done a sampling of all users, or only those users that don't like it? While I don't mind it, I don't think I even noticed it at first until someone pointed it out.
    I note that if you get Info on an item the icon is still colour so this is some OS level (we know best) overaly that's turning everything bland and boring, it would be nice if Apple let the user actually chose this rather than force it upon them ... just like Microsoft I'm sad to say.
    Microsoft? The '90s are over. But regardless of what decade you are living in, Apple has never been too big on end-user customization of the operating system. Apple has always discouraged the use of "themes" whereas Microsoft will allow people to do pretty much whatever they want.
    The file system icons are still the same as they have always been. The new monochrome icons are clearly a design trend more than any change to the underlying operating system. If you turn off the expanded view in any file save dialog (other than in Safari), you can still see the old, glorious, multicoloured icons. If you really wanted to, I'm sure you could change the system-level images and make Finder and Mail look just like they used to.

  • Why are there 3 library folders on my MB Pro?

    Why are there 3 library folders on my MB Pro? (1) in the HD folder; (2) in the system folder; (3) in the user folder?

    Your home/Library folder contains support and preference files for you. It includes all your mail, if you use Apple Mail, as well as things like contacts, calendars, Safari bookmarks and caches, and so on. It also includes any fonts which you have installed for your user. 20GB seems a little high, but if you have a lot of mail/attachments, this could explain it.
    The /Library folder contains support files (usually third-party) for all users. Adobe tends to put files in here, for example. It also includes iLife template/loop files, so you'll find GarageBand loops here, for example. Fonts which can be accessed by all users can be found here.
    The /System/Library folder belongs to OS X, and contains support files for the system.
    Don't delete any files from any of the folders unless you know what you're doing...

  • Why are TV shows (like Supernatural) so much more expensive to download (SD or HD) than sites like Amazon?

    Why are TV shows (like Supernatural) so much more expensive to download (SD or HD) than sites like Amazon?

    They aren't really that much cheaper on Amazon. For Supernatural season 7, each single episode in HD is $2.99, same as iTunes. If you buy the whole season on Amazon, it's $2.84 per episode. Maybe $2 cheaper to buy on Amazon.
    Remember though, on Amazon, you can't sync the videos onto an iPad/iPod/iPhone or Apple TV. In iTunes you can.
    I prefer to buy on iTunes simply for the convenience, iTunes makes all the differance.

  • Why are photos showing on my iPad and iPhone photo streams but not my mac's photo stream

    I've taken a load of photos on my phone and have placed them in an album within my photo stream, they are now showing up on my iPad but not on my mac which is where i really want them. I've tried turning the wifi on and off again, I've tried turn the devices off and on again. nothing is working! all i want is my work backed up! can anyone help me please?!

    Hello BeccaBatte,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below to help resolve this issue with Photo Stream.
    I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
    Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream won't appear in iPhoto or Aperture. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your Mac.
    From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud.
    Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
    If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that My Photo Stream is selected. If you want all new photos that you upload to your iPhoto or Aperture library to upload to My Photo Stream, select Automatic Upload.
    If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, select Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import.
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.If you want to have the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6).
    Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.

  • Why are my thumbnails and folders changing???

    For some reason my image thumbnails and folders are misbehaving.
    Thumbnails
    The thumbnail images will just disappear on SOME images in a folder but not all.
    Folders
    The folder sizes will max out in some folders but not in others.
    And, I am not sure this has anything to do with this, but sometimes when I add an image to a folder it will spring open and close very quickly. This does not happen all the time, but it does happen. This could just be a Leopard thing, I am not sure.
    To make the thumbnail images re-appear, I just re-start my computer. However, this does not correct the folder over-sizing. I have to manually do this as I find them. And, to be clear, I have 'Show Icon Preview' selected. I know that in Tiger you could mistakenly change ALL the folders on you HD, but I did not think you could do this with Leopard. If this IS possible, then that could explain the folder changes, but not the image disappearances.
    This all began as I was moving files over to my external HD yesterday. Same this is happening today. So, this is a constant battle that I am not winning by any stretch.
    ANY comments or suggestions will be most welcome.
    Phillip Anthony

    Thanks for the detailed help.
    I am aware of what you so kindly suggested, but I think the cause of my problem lay somewhere else.
    To be clear, I have used the Info palette to change the 'Open with:' function from 'Adobe Photoshop CS4' to say, 'Preview', if I just want to view the image as opposed to modify it, especially if PS were not already launched.
    As I said, this problem just began all of a sudden, then quit. Today, I have not had this issue, so I am not complaining. As I go through my workflow, I continue to find maxed out folder sizes, but these are easily corrected. It was the lack of thumbnails that was the issue.
    Again, I sincerely appreciate the suggestion.

  • Why are TV Shows and Music Disappearing from iTunes 10.6.3?

    It started with my season pass for Walking Dead. I open iTunes mid-week last week, and they all showed a missing icon. Odd, but I'd watched them all, so I didn't really panic or even invesitgate. A couple days later, an entire album goes missing. Today, I have probably 20+ showing missing without any pattern as to why those files are missing. Some are part of complete albums, others are not. Some are .mp3 some are .aac files. I can guarantee you I did not delete them in iTunes, on my phone (whole library sync'd minus music videos) or on my iPad (limited sync).
    iTunes 10.6.3
    iTunes Match On

    Unfortunately your 4S  phone could have worked with an older iTunes that works with your old system version but Apple makes it so a new phone requires the version of iTunes current at the time of purchase.  You do not tell us what model computer you have. Go to the apple in the upper left corner, then About This Mac, then More.  If it says Intel in the processor information you can upgrade your system to 10.6.3 by purchasing a Snow Leopard DVD from Apple online ($20), then free update to 10.6.8 to run the newest iTunes.  If you have a PPC Mac (older than about 6 years) you can only run the newest iTunes by buying a newer computer.

  • Why are apps showing in music and playlists

    never saw it before, but my apps are showing up in my music list and playlists - any idea why and how do remove without deleting the app? thanks.

    They were bought by the same account and you haven't changed countries ? Some film studios don't allow re-downloading, but you should be able to copy/sync them between your computers/devices - film studios and other content providers occasionally remove their items from the store, so there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item from the store.
    If they are still in your country's store then you could check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

  • HT204411 Why are TV Shows unavailable in Brunei?

    Hello,
    I'm a user located in the South-East asian region and the iTunes Store was only available in my country (Brunei Darussalam) about a year ago and I'm very happy with with all that it offers but the only thing that is unavailable are the TV shows. Is there a particular reason as to why it is not available here? I watch a lot of TV shows and I'd much prefer to buy them in quality rather than have to torrent them all the time.
    Will it be available in my country any time soon?
    Thanks

    No one could know what will be available in the future, unless Apple announces

    Hello,
    I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this! In case you weren't aware, the Creative Cloud application needs to be running on your computer in order for the fonts to be synced. This help page shows how it works:
    http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1145956
    Once you have Creative Cloud running, please try turning off font sync, wait a moment, and then turn it back on.  The option to do this is under the gear icon in Preferences > Creative Cloud > Fonts ("Typekit on/off"):
    Sometimes the app just needs a fresh session for the fonts to appear again.
    If that doesn't make a difference, please send me a screenshot of the Assets > Fonts tab in the Creative Cloud desktop application and your recent sync log files to [email protected], and we will take a closer look.  Here are instructions on where to find the log files:

  • Why are slide show images less sharp than preview images?

    Dear Aperture users,
    as documented in the manual and on Apple's support pages, Aperture 3 uses the preview images for its slide show. However, when I compare the quality of my preview images in full-screen mode with the quality of the slide show images, the preview images clearly look sharper.
    Apparently, Aperture's slide show does not simply use the preview images as documented, but applies some sort of "adjustment", resulting in less crisp looking images. Since I haven't found any satisfying answer yet, my questions are:
    1). What exactly is the adjustment that slide show applies to the preview images?
    2). Can I somehow tweak this adjustment, say, with a terminal command?
    Best regards,
    Dirk61.

    iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
    One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
    The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
    A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
    The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
    Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
    Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
    If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

  • Why are emails in public folders being marked as read when viewed in the viewing pane when I have disabled this in settings

    I am using office 2010 on a windows 7 PC. In outlook I have changed the settings for the reading pane so that emails are not marked as read unless I actually open them. This is working for emails in my inbox and outbox but not for emails in public
    folders. Emails in public folders are marked as read as soon as I click on them. Do public folders have a different setting for marking email as read in the reading pane?
    It is important for me that emails in the public folders are not marked as read when i click on them as I need to read through hundreds of project emails in these folders and need to be able to distinguish between emails I have read and actioned
    and emails I have just clicked on while searching for an email I need. This folder serves as an archive for my emails so i cant delete them once I have read them. I also don't have permission to label them or create tasks from them. 

    Hi,
    I tested in my lab, it worked for public folders. My Outlook version is Outlook 2013.
    Please open Outlook in safe mode to check result.
    If possible, please check if this issue persists from a different client server.

  • Why are some of my folders always expanded when opening my external hard drive on my iMac?

    Certain folders are always expanded when I plug in and open my external hard drive and its more of a pain than anything to scroll through them all. If i close them, next time I open the hard drive folder they are open again!

    Try re-indexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
