Hello Peter,

welcome and thanks for chiming in. You are the right man because you have the right system configuration (10.4.11 and iPhoto 5).

You can view your Finder's contents in any of 3 different ways; icon view, list view, or column view.

I hope Kitty will read this and from now on use the Column View.

But where is the icon view button? I can't see any icon view button on your screenshot.

You are right, Daly. I can't remember though whether the poster also mentioned the fact that the thumbnail-size in the navigation window depends on the display-size in Finder. Therefore I thought it was right to emphasize that point.

> the OP said more than once that it was too much trouble for her to find her photos and select them in the Finder. She wants to be able to see large icons and file names within Yahoo and not have to go to the Finder.

If you ask me, I would also like to be able to go directly into my kitchen and fetch a juicy steak and a couple of cold drinks whenever I want to without ever having to go first to the supermarket and buy food .... because it is "too much trouble". :-)

Re: How do I recover deleted files?

Hopefully, you are using another computer to do this research so you don't overwrite what you are trying to recover. The dot before "the file or folder name" makes the item invisible.

Before you go any further, what happened to the images from the camera?
Were they on a memory card? Have you erased the card? If so, simply follow
my instructions as they are.

Have you installed TestDisk/PhotoRec?

Yes, .Trashes is normally hidden. That's what the "." does. It's a system
directory owned by root.

This won't happen if you use PhotoRec.

Easy Resolution:  iTunes Video Playlist?

Posted by: "Harry Flaxman" harry.flaxman@me.com   hflaxman001

Wed May 30, 2012 11:04 pm (PDT)



Sometime after the past couple of updates, my video playlists will not
play seamlessly non-stop. I have not tried to play some music videos
I've had until last night and found that playback ceased after each video.

At one point, they would play non-stop as any other audio playlist would
play. No more.

What might be the resolution to this? How can I restore non-stop playback.

I'm sure something was changed sometime during the last couple of
updates, but can't put my finger on what.

TIA

Harry

I guess you mean the MOVIES folder in the upper left pane. For some strange reason this folder behaves differently than the rest of the folders (I have iTunes 10.6.1).

A button (located at the bottom bar left) enables you to play a playlist once, repeat playlist, or repeat an item. This button is disabled as long as you are in the MOVIES folder.

http://minus.com/m9IxDeifT/

If you switch to a Playlist or Smart Playlist this button is enabled and you can play non-stop.

I don't know whether this was done with an intension, or whether this is a bug. It is certainly annoying.

I meant the Movies folder in the Library

If you want to play items in this folder nonstop then create a Smart Playlist with the rule:

"Playlist is Movies".

Thanks Anna, however, I am referring to a playlist that is created
independently of the Movies or Music Videos smart playlist.

I've been using iTunes since it's first release and have had no problem
with custom video playlists playing non-stop, however, I haven't tried
in awhile and am assuming that a recent update 'broke' that ability.

Re: Windows 7 on iMac

Okay...so let me see if I understand.
The 'Builder' edition is system specific so if I ever wanted to install onto another machine, I wouldn't be able to...but odds are, if I was installing on another machine, it would be a year or three down the line when I decided to upgrade my Mac anyway.
On the flipside, there's Home Premium and Professional which have very little difference between the two...
So what's truly the difference between Home Premium and Pro?? Networking ability or something?
I've been leaning toward Pro since this is in support of my freelance design business...but if Home Premium would work...
ugh.

Thanks again!

Jeff

Pro allows you to connect to a domain, Home Premium does not.

That's basically it.

The Builder edition is for folks building their PC from scratch. Not for
you.

Win7 Pro can join a domain, Home cannot. Pro may be needed for some
proprietary software that only runs on XP using XP virtualization mode only
in Pro. There may still be better disk encryption in Pro.

Some older hardware may not have 64 bit drivers, if so, install 32 bit
version.

Re: Traveling in Europe with ATT iPads

Jim, you might be using a different app than I. Mine is simply called "Metro". Logo is a white "M" in a green circle. With this app, you download the city that you want (from a huge list), and then you can use it offline. I highly recommend using the bus at least a couple times - it's not always as fast, but you see so much more. Buy a "carnet" (10) tickets for a slight discount (at any metro station) and they are good for both the metro and the bus.

Don't know about int'l data roaming prices. I don't use it and find that with the occasional wifi connection, I'm good to go.

I'm sure I'll figure this out, but once I turned OFF Push notifications the app couldn't find anything (stations, addresses, etc.) Makes me wonder how it will work for anything without a cellular data connection.
