Could someone tell me how to stop the folders and icons rearrange themselves
Before I updated to El Capitan I could arrange the files on my desktop or in any folder in the finder, in order that, I opened I wanted and they would REMAIN THAT of the WAY. Now, folders and icons in the folders reorganize themselves, usually in alphabetical order, each time that I add, delete, or move something in a folder. This causes a serious pain for me and make my extremely inefficient workflow.
I managed to stop the folders on my desk of reorganization by going to view > options > sort by selecting: None (thanks Mac forum) and I can do this in a folder if I want to rearrange things myself, but I seem to need to do this individually for every single folder and there is no guarantee that the next time I turn on my computer it will be always in that order. El Capitan before I could move my files manually on my desk and in a folder and if things got a little messy, or I wanted to start, I simply chose sort > by name and everything would be perfectly back to alphabetical, as a grid, on the right side of my screen, or in a grid at the top of a file. AND... If I wanted to manually move a folder or icon after sorting by name, I could still do it, without having to go to tri: No. Now, if I say sort: None, which seems to be the only way to manually sort the icons or folders, all of a sudden my own grid of files are everywhere in my office or mixed into a folder, unlike before where they would simply stay in a grid in alphabetical order, making it much easier to find things when manually reorganize. In my workflow, I need to be able to fix things and make them stay there, then, how do it works as before. Is could someone please tell me if there is a simple way to get things to work like they used to, when the only time where my files or icons arranged themselves was when I SAID to THEM, keeping in mind I'm not that computer, so if it's code, or go beyond the preferences or settings , you've lost me.
Click on the desktop, command J > sort by none

Can someone tell me how to upgrade the operating system on the MacPro?
I have a MacPro1.1 which works fine, but now I can't use LightroomCC on that because the OS is no longer supported. Can someone tell me how to upgrade the operating system on the MacPro?
Your Mac Pro 2006 supports only as high as Lion unless you use a hack.
If you want Lion then order a code to download here:

and then use the code in the Mac App Store.
If you need higher that the Lion then Google for the hack

Could someone tell me how to get this effect please?
Hi all
Use photoshop or illustrator, can someone tell me how I can get this effect of a normal picture please? I really like this effect.
Thank you
It looks like the oil paint filter, with perhaps a slight blur. (Could be the picture too; every photo reacts differently). Oil paint is located under the filter > esthetics > oil painting. (Note that it is the latest version of Photoshop CC).

I don't think that there is a mysql_connect but rather a mysqli_connect or PDO, which I have no idea how to use. Can someone tell me how to configure my Dreamweaver CS5 to contact mysqli_connect rather than the old and fixing to be deprecated mysql_pconnect. I have searched the Internet over and backward and impossible to find a person or an article that explains how to do this seemingly simple task. Everyone?
If you want DW to this code, you will need to buy the Extension MySQLi (improved) Web server behaviors help. Currently available at 50% off the regular price.

Otherwise, you must manually code yourself.

Can someone tell me how to change the color of the progress bar?
Can someone tell me what we called the part highlighted in the below attachment & can I change the color from green to what I choose?
http://i72.Photobucket.com/albums/I176/Tyrone787/ColorBar.jpg
Hello
There is no option in Windows to change the color of the progress bar. I suggest you to browse the Internet using the search engine and look for the applications (or even topics) that can change the color of the progress bar.
