    How to change the Open/Save dialog icon sizes

    No Eject option on right click

    My Finder windows now insist on opening in some ugly form which has images all over the place in a disorderly manner. I go to VIEW -> SHOW VIEW OPTIONS and click the box next to "ALWAYS OPEN IN COVER FLOW." The option below that, "BROWSE IN COVER FLOW" also checks automatically. Then I click...

    Finder error -36 (already tried multiple solutions)

    When copying a file to a remote server I get error -36 in Finder. Copying the same file with FTP works OK, so I recon it must be a Finder problem. This was working fine some time ago however, so I am surprised to get this error now. Thus far I have tried the following to solve it: - restart...

    I have just upgraded from El Capitan to Sierra (10.12.4) and I'm still getting slow Finder response - whether using an Open File dialog, or just a Finder window - unless I've been to that folder previously, it sits there thinking for ages.

    What happened to iLife, and will it ever be updated?

    From 2003 to 2013, every 1/2 years or so, apple would introduce a new version of iLife.
