problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

Hi there highland99,

Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    After I enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in 'Advanced settings', I can't yet see in the folder but I know there is a file in this program of WinRAR folder form as pictured below where I opened the case both at the same time.

    Hope you can help in this case...

    It would be possible that the file is marked as a system folder (which is just a check box in properties such as the hidden check box). So in your folder options, uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and see if it will be visible.

    Or another thing to try: remonter back a level, hold down SHIFT while you right-click the complete file and choose "Open command window here", then type DIR to see if the file is listed.

  • Problem with the executable files

    Hello all, I need a help from you...

    I use LV 2009 SP1 Professional Development Suite on Windows Seven and I have a problem with the executable files, a problem that I have ever found with other versions of LV (8.x, for example) and I'm a little surprised...

    In the attachment you will find an example of what I mean.

    There are two base screws, the main one (prova) and a Subvi (provasubvi). The main vi launches the Subvi and the Subvi simply create a chart. As you can see on the screws works fine, without any kind of problem.

    I also created the exe file, without specifying that no particular option... and 'magic' of the application does not work as I want. In particular, it seems that the Subvi is running, but the front panel will not be accessible.

    I also try to play with the Subvi construction structure and options, but nothing change.

    Did you ever solve something like that?... I would say that I thank you in advance for any suggestion...

    Andrea

    Hello andrea,.

    Looking at your project I've heard that you do not include the Subvi during the build of the project. SO I slightly modified. Please find the attachments.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • problems with. ARW files and invigorating auto

    problems with. ARW files and invigorating auto

    I'll try to explain this, because this has happened in past and never found a way to solve, but I lived with it

    now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious

    First I'm proud he realize the image in camera, I use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, as when I'm shooting at dusk. DRO desire to do HDR but in a single file, it lightens the dark colors. in my camera, I'm happy with the results

    but when I download on lightroom, they come out almost black.

    Let me explain

    Let's say I have import 100 images

    I'll double check my preferences and everything is turned OFF when you want to import options, there is no auto toning, nothing.

    import the images I see glimpses in miniature that looks very good.

    I double click on one to enlarge, we go out so grid view.

    for a short 1 or 2 seconds, I see the full image in all its glory but that lightroom is doing something funny, it darkens the image

    an as she inspects every image, it was a DRO picture, it's too dark.

    to make this clear, the image is perfect, as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds, lightroom for some reason some think should be corrected.

    How we prevent lightroom to do this, I want the image exactly as it is, why lightroom must apply a correction >?

    I think we should do something with the interpretation of the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.

    but here is what I get... until lightroom makes the change that I am able to testify the image exactly as he took and want unchanged...

    now, I have to edit each file or find a profile to which is added the work.

    any ideas how to prevent the ruin my lightroom images and just leave them as they were during the first time...

    There are 2 phases... it is when it imports initially and they look very well

    second are analysis each image and application of some type of toning that it darkens too.

    Thanks for the help

    Sorry, it's the yahoo email auto-reply message.

    I've now disabled

    thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera

    his only ARW. so my understanding is when I use the DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW lightroom this bed somehow the ARW.

    but he comes back and unfortunately no DRO setting.

    because I noticed that if I take a normal image in his dark raw mode but if I apply dro to it, it comes out more bright, yet when I d/l the camera image in lightroom, which is an ARW - there no jpg files. Lightroom decides to BUMBLE

    So actually there is no interest to use DRO because when I download lightroom deletes.

    is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as seen first.

    his right blade, image appears perfect... that lightroom do something, that bam, its ruin.

    What should I do to prevent ruin the image of lightroom? If it was good in the first place.

  • Problems with the audit files!

    Hi friends,

    We are facing a problem with the audit files we have a runnning on oracle 10g server and being an Institute of teaching many ppl to connect to the server and too much work with SQL and PL/SQL. We have disabled the option to audit the database, but the audit files grow enormous in size. May I know what can be the problem and how to fix that there could be something that we would have missed.

    Kind regards

    There is no setting of "verification". Display the values of

    AUDIT_FILE_DEST, AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS, AUDIT_TRAIL.

    I don't know 'NULL' as the value for each of these parameters.

  • Problem with the Finder

This applies when I try to open any folder as well. The time-out period is really long. I restarted the finder many times and I've updated my IMAC as well. Can someone help with this situation?

  • I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

    Try to install the drivers from this link and check.

  • Equium L10: Problem with the main battery and battery RTC

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Equium L10 and it is about 14 months old and I have problems with the battery and how much time it takes after a full charge. I also have problems with the RTC battery and an ERROR 0271: check date and time settings message when I turn on the laptop.

    Regarding the battery, I can fully charge it upward in about 3 hours, but when I start to use it, apparently in the last few hours around one and a half or so and then it needs to be recharged. I can have down for about 40 minutes and then turn it off and come back later or in a day or two. How long should I expect from a fully charged battery?

    About the batttery RTC, it really becomes a pain and I only started to get the message of the ERROR 0271 start-up, in recent weeks. I can charge the battery pack and then leave for a few days, but when I turn it on, I get the message ERROR 0271 on the date and time incorrect. Surely after a full charge, the RTC battery should last longer than a few days?

    The manual says that if the RTC battery is exhausted or becomes weak, you must charge the battery of the CCF for 24 hours, in a different part of this manual indicates between 24 and 48 hours, but how can load you for long when the sections concerning the charging battery pack status after charging the battery you unplug the power adapter because leaving connected will shorten the life expectancy of the Battery Pack. So, how we can charge the battery of the CCF for 24 to 48 hours if we shouldn't leave the AC adapter plugged in once the battery is charged - which is nearly three hours. Suggestions about these problems would be appreciated.

    Besides we all know that it is easy to change the CMOS/RTC battery in your desktop base unit, but is it easy to change in a Toshiba Equium L10?

    Concerning

    Brave0

    Hi Brave0,

    The normal recommendation for the CMOS (RTC) battery is to leave the laptop connected to the power supply at least 12 hours when the main battery is fully charged. The charging circuit is going to hijack the current to the load automatically RTC battery and no current will be forwarded to your main battery.

    Recommendation do not leave the power adapter is plugged in the main battery is fully charged is really only applicable to older laptops that used no batteries Li - ion and therefore they had to be completely discharged before recharging to avoid any effect 'memory' of the battery.

    With modern Li-ion batteries, it is quite safe to leave the battery when fully charged and still power the laptop from the AC adapter. The charging circuit will pass all the battery charge if it is fully charged.

    Kind regards

  • How to solve the problem with the wacom tablet and the polygonal lasso tool. It does not work with a pen.

    How to solve the problem with the wacom tablet and the polygonal lasso tool. It does not work with a pen. I have install windows 10 and fresh, new drivers for wacom bamboo, could he makes problems or there is a problem of photoshop?

    It should do.  You use one of the buttons of pen maybe?  Just touching wheels with the pen with no buttons or modifier keys.  Press ENTER to close the selection.

    Personally I never use the lasso, Polygonal, but rather just the Lasso tool by using the ALT (Opt) to operate the Polygonal tool.  I also use the mouse instead of the Tablet for the selection of cutting edge.  It is a little too uncertain where the point will go when hovering the stylus above the image.

  • problem with the htm file firsefox document, becomes it removed and deleted

    I have a white screen which displays the file as 'file:///C:/Users/Mark/AppData/Local/Temp/Magentic/Mag3075.htm', is unable to get rid of it, can someone give me a simple step by step direction to remove it and get out of my computer, the magnetic program has been removed, but still have files, this isn't one of them.

    First make sure you can see hidden files/folders by going to start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and check the box show hidden and system files.  While there, also uncheck to hide extensions of known file types (this will be useful to you later).

    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and get Autoruns and run it to check your startup items.  Search for this file.  If you find it, delete it or uncheck the box allowing it to boot at startup.  Will not get rid of the file itself, but it must stop the logon dialog box (a step in the right direction).  Restart after you did it to see if it still appears.  If so, return here after having tried other options that follow.

    Now open Windows Explorer and go to that location and select the file and click on delete.  I guess you have tried this and it didn't work.  It gives you an error message when you try?  What is the EXACT text of this error (including all codes)?

    Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

    If you are unable to file (getting an "Access denied" error while trying to to navigate on this one), you will need to change the permissions for folders and files to give you the permissions of all rights, even appropriating. You may need to go to advanced to check special permissions to see if there is any restrictions there including inherited properties of parent folders). Here are some instructions on how to do

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    Once you have the appropriate permissions and ownership if necessary, you should be able to delete the file normally or with one provided above both programs.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
