Format column entered in my finder window

Only the entries in column name in my finder window are black.  All other entries in the column are gray. How can I make those gray black?  I am OS 10.9.5 on an iMac 27-inch, late 2009.

  • Impossible to disable the column "Preview" in the Finder Windows

    Before that I describe this problem, I just want to clarify that I have configured Finder to always open folders in a new window, and while some of my files are put into mode icon that the majority is set to display in the list.

    Following an upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan, some of my Finder list view windows began to show the column "Preview" on the side of the far right, after the date modified column. I don't like this feature because when none of the folders or items are selected it shows just a ugly "blank" space in the window. So, I quickly discovered that I can disable this "Preview" column by selecting "hide the Preview" in the view menu.

    The problem is that once I chose this, in many of my files change does not stick. After a reboot or a restart, I'll go back to the window and the preview column is again. Sometimes it happens immediately after closing the window and opening it again. The worst culprit is my user folder.

    I tried selecting "Hide Preview" and then enter the display options and set as the default view for all Finder Windows, but this makes no difference.

    Anyone know how to disable the overview at all times column in all the windows in the Finder?

    This is what it looks like in my folders set to display from the list:

  • When searching from a finder window, why are there no visible file path bar? Is where you enter something in the search engine.

    When searching for a finder window why don't the path bar of file at the bottom of the window disappears. Y at - it anyway to stay visible.

    Of course, I would like to know where the file or folder is where spotlight shows its conclusions. Is there a preference I need to change to make the default action to be one in which the path to the file still appears at the bottom of the finder window?

    Sorry, I discovered my problem. I didn't have a file selected in the list. As soon as I made the path to the file appears. Duh!

  • Open a Finder window in the Dock

    Obviously something, I forgot how to do, how very boring: temporarily place a folder (aka?) to the right of the dock, I want to click on it and open the folder in a finder window. As of today, instead of opening in a window of type column, the dock is covering my screen with large thumbnails of images in folders (I work with hundreds of graphic files). How can I convince them that these elements to simply open the appropriate window to dock?

    I'm not sure that understand your question. If you want to display this folder in different way (once you click on it in the Dock), just right click on the folder and choose the option you want under ' content seen as '.

    However, if you what you want is to open the folder in a Finder directly from the docking window, right click on the folder and press "Open..."  ». After you open the file, you can choose the view you want in the toolbar of the Finder or in the 'View' menu.

  • On Mac Finder window doesn't scroll horizontally in Muse

    I noticed that whenever I open a finder window by Muse (i.e. replace image), the scroll bar of the finder window scrolls only so far.   I have to resize the window to view other columns.   This seems to be a new bug, as it functioned normally in the previous version.  Anyone else seeing this?

  • How to record a Finder window layout?

    I work as a composer at an animation studio - our workflow is to make the files locally and duplicate and then the locations of the different folders on the server. Every morning, I've established a table of records of specific sizes to speed up my work flow. I want to be able to save this arrangement of the Finder Windows to save me from this manually every morning, but when I boot, Finder uses by default no windows rather than remember my previous layout. Is it possible to save a Finder window put in page?

    You uncheck the box to restore windows app on restart/logout? If so, this is why they don't restore.

  • Finder windows does not display the content

    I have a Pre MacBrook, retina, 13-inch, early 2013 with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB memory, OS x 10.9.5. Today, my Finder became unstable. When I open a Finder window, it is empty and sometimes even shows the desktop or parts of the application 'through' underlying window. When I force-quit Finder and recovery, the first time I open a Finder window opens normally, but after a time freezes. Opening of windows within the application file works normally, so I can access my files in this way, but it is very annoying. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? You can provide any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Boot without failure and then stop and start normally seems to have solved the problem (I'm crossing my fingers as I type).

  • Get the fuzzy finder windows

    My Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5 2009 and my husband of 2011 MacBook Pro with the same OS developed blurred finder windows today.  These computers are not networked in some way.  Basically, the finder windows are unusable because of the truncated graphics, they show.  Someone recently had this problem or knows what to do?  I have reset the PRAM and that seemed to help, but only for an hour or two.  The last message I've seen this problem was 2 years ago in this forum.  (This person said to 1) reset the PRAM and NVRAM and 2) restart the computer in safe mode and then restart again.  (3) If this didn't help not told to start HD recovery and then fix the hard drive and the permissions, and then reinstall the 10.9.5 update.  And if none of this has helped 4) reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks, then reinstall the 10.9.5 update.  Apparently, the person said they tried all of these and they still had the problem.

    I think it's weird that what happens to two of our computers at the same time.  Could this be a hardware problem?  The Mac Pro has 24 GB of ram (18 that has recently been installed) and the Mac Book Pro has 8 ram or casual jobs.

    Thank you very much for your suggestions!
