finder

I would like to hide a few partitions on my hard drive so I don't see them in the sidebar in finder. Is there anyway to do this?

I have some strange problems with 10.4.1 here... my afp share that used to work (even on 10.4.1) won't connect anymore mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020 mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error -5014, errno is 32 (with terminal) Sorry, the operation could not be...

Have been using a Lacie 120G Firewire Drive for a few months. Unmounted and disconnected drive in order to plug in a second drive we were backing up to. Then, when we plugged the Lacie back in it won't show up in Finder, Disk Utility, System Profiler, etc. Other Firewire drives show up fine...

Hello, I upgraded to 10.4.1 2 nights ago, but I'm starting to see a bug(?) with the Finder. It seems that icons will disappear off my desktop, and when I go into the finder they will be missing from my Applications folder, or they will be mismatched with another apps icon. I have been having...

Yeah, like the title says, the column and icon views in the Finder are showing all icons as disabled (i.e. greyed out). List view looks normal. Everything is functioning properly, but it just looks a little odd. Does this perhaps have anything to do with the fact that Spotlight is still indexing...

I did a search in Finder on a network share for the name of a folder called "Latest". Now there is a "Latest" folder in 116 different project folders. When I attemp to copy them I recieve the error message that "The selected items cannot be put into the same location, because at least one of...

I haven't had to deal with this for a while, so maybe I'm forgetting something. I can't see dot files in the finder (or more importanly, I can't select them in file open dialog boxes), after upgrading to 10.4. There is no such default anymore: com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles. How can I show...

My finder is being odd. Here's whats happening .... I startup the machine and open a finder window. I select a directory to examine the contents - it's Directory1. It shows no contents! Doesn't matter how long I sit and look at it ... no contents. I click on Directory2 which also shows no...

I noticed this when syncing my .mac account. I have been able to recreate it. If you look at the bottom of the attached screenshot something is not quite right. Can anyone else with a .mac account confirm this ? Thanks Rob

i don't want to have to keep switching to the dashboard.. i just want to have certain widgets in view all the time. Is this possible (as it was with konfabulator-- the app tiger derived this coolness from ?)

ok I am aware that it is possible to shut off finder. I did it myself like 2 years ago with my old computer. Now with my new computer to years later i forget how to do it. I know it involves putting in a code into terminal, if you guys could help it would be appreciated. I need it off...

Hi, I have a problem at start up. When i log in as user a the finder window is stuck on the color wheel, but when i switch users to user b everything works fine no problems at all. I'm running 10.3.9 at the moment and the problem has only happened since i installed the update. I had...

My work has a few network volumes that I use frequently. After installing Panther, I noticed that if I shutdown/restarted with any network volume mounted, it would try to automount during the start up process. The problem I'm about to describe happens to multiple OS X machines at work AND to...

eMac running OSX 10.3.8 (plenty of mem, hard drive space, etc) - finder menu flashes upon boot on and off and on and off, client can't see any icons or do anything. Had him fix permissions and run disk utility but the same thing happens. Any hints or tips other than reinstalling OS? Thanks.

Firstly, genuine apologies if this has been covered before, I've searched but not found anything relating to this (maybe I'm not too sure what to search for). Sometimes when I open a finder window and expect to see folders and files, I see nothing. Going up a level and back sometimes fixes...

Hi, I have been wondering how I can view a preview (thumbnail) of a movie in the finder as the files icon. I know this can be done with pictures by doing Apple-J and selecting the preview option, however, this doesnt seem to work for movies. I have, however, noticed that some movie files...

Ok, basically, when I scroll down a Finder window, it will relaunch the Finder. How can I fix thiS? It's annoying. Thanks.

Everyone has seen the white dialog boxes used for file copy dialogs now right? My question is... why? It almost feels like I'm running a carbon system 7 "copy" dialog...

How to make Finder Windows keep their settings.

That's right... I don't like Icon view, and I don't care much for Column View, either. What am I to do? Is there a setting or a workaround that makes List View the default? Thanks, tim
