finder

Hi, I am a newbie to Apple and everything that comes with it, but I sure like it ... I don't have a .mac account but my ISP granted some webspace so I would like to "map" it in the Finder. Since I am coming from Windows, I have to relate to how it's working there. You can map a network drive...

In my Finder, the dates are not displayed correctly in a file "Get Info" window (under 10.3). I see only the day of the week, the month, the year but not the date itself... I do not care about knowing that the 5th of January was a Monday... But I need to know the file was created the 5th...

Hi, I've noticed that since the last security update, every time I insert CD or mount an image to the desktop, the image stays in the fnder window even when ejected from the desktop. I have to log off to get rid of the images. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a solution? Thanks...

I had my International settings (System Preferences) set on on the languages English and then German. I've had this setting for years from OS 10.1.0 through 10.3.0. Today I wanted to try something out and moved German above English. I thought that my system would immediately change to the German...

My iMac has a problem where it the mouse pointer is just waiting (round rainbow disk). This only happens if I place the mouse on the desktop and I have no icons like the harddisk. I am not too sure what to do here as I am new to Macs. The only way to access the Apple drop down menu to shut it...

I want to type something like this in my terminal albatross2:~ erikv$ open Finder but can't seem to find it - any ideas?

After sucessfully installing Panther, I've come to love it. But, there are two things I've noticed that aren't what they should be. 1) Whenever I import a CD, the songs are all screwed up. They just don't play; Either there is no sound at all or it stutters and stops. It worked fine...

Whenever I wake up my computer while I have an external firewire drive attached (specifically, a Smartdisk FireLite 30), the drive appears mounted on the desktop, however, the power light on the drive is off, and when I try to access the drive by double clicking it, it hangs up my finder the...

I'm new to macs and I just bought a new mouse that doesnt work very well and, well it caused me to drag the finder out of the dock. How do I get it back in there? The icon is still sitting above the dock. Please help.

hello- as you can see i'm new here so i hope i'm not laughably moronic here, but: i'm in os 10.2.6. a while ago i remember putting audio cd's in my powerbook and they would appear on the desktop, where i could open them with finder and pull aiff files right out. now, since i must have...

When the finder launches at logon, it automatically tries to connect to my other mac and instantaneously freezes with the spinning beach ball of death. I have no idea why its trying to automatically connect to my other mac... I tried deleting my ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist...

When you first log into OS X, look at your Finder icon in the Dock. Now choose About Finder. The one in the dialog is a lot darker and better looking than the one in the Dock. Enable magnification and keep your cursor over Finder. Now relaunch Finder and it'll go to that dark colour.

Yes. I've got Mac OS X.2.whateverlastversionis... I recently bought IOmega Super DVD, which is a USB 2.0 external DVD burner which supports multiple format media (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RAM). So far, the drive is properly detected by my G3 with USB 1.1 ports. I can view CDs and DVDs with no...

The one thing that really frustrates me is viewing folders/files on Mac OS X (10.3 Panther). I've been trying about a week to figure out how to reset the view of a particular directory but it only applies to that one window. I upgraded from Jaguar to Panther, and all my files were backed up...

Is there a way to remove the Finder from the App (Apple-Tab) switcher? I'd like to just have the 2 or more open apps on there but obviously the Finder is always in the as well. I never need to switch to the Finder so I'd love to not have it show up there.

Is there a way to save the position and size of a new finder window? I'm using 10.3. Thanks,

I just thought of an awesome idea that Apple totally overlooked; I really like having instant acces to my folders in the new Panther finder window mini-dock, but how bout putting a TRASH CAN in there? And how about allowing me to put a trash can on the DESKTOP. I can't believe they overlooked...

I never pay much attention to those clear, oblong-shaped buttons in the upper-right hand corner in certain applications that show/hide menu bars and what-not. They usually don't serve much use to me. I noticed that Finder windows have them, though. On a whim, I decided to press it. WHOA...

Panther 10.3. If I select more than one file on desktop in order to drag'n'drop them into a folder, sometimes finder crashes. If I retry many times with the same two or three or four files, it works. Any help?

I installed panther this afternoon on my ibook. When the install was finished, it ran fine but ever since I restarted, finder has been crashing every minute or so and I'm unsured why. I've read 2 posts (one here, one somewhere else) about finder crashing but the users just eventually ending up...
