macOS sierra 10.12.1 Hello, I've googled for answers for this, but whenever i google Mac OS Sierra Documents Folder View all i get is stuff about icloud, which doesn't concern me since i don't use icloud what i need is how to get the view of my documents folder back to normal. When i...

I was wondering if someone can tell me how to fix this issue with my finder icon, it has a green color around it; possibly removing and re-adding it? I dont know what happened, my computer locked itself out and then it looked like that; I would appreciate some help!

When I chose to show all Finder windows (moving my cursor down left out of the screen), I see all Finder windows. When I select one, it make that one active but then focus is immediately stolen by another application. Any clue?

I've used Macs since 2009. I always found the finder app brilliant. My 2014 MacBook Air is used for work and is almost at memory capacity. However, since updated to Sierra about a month ago I am finding that 'Finder' is useless. For example; just now I created 4 documents and 'tagged' them...

Hi, I'm a little perfectionist about my own notions of UI design. About the Finder tags... well I love this feature but I dont like to actually see the colored dots before the file names. Is there a way/hack to hide it? The idea would be to use tags normally, click on them on the left pane to...

I still use Aperture, sorry. I import my dSLR pictures here and the good ones I transfer to Photos. So Aperture is just a part of my workflow, I don't use it any other way... but Apple keeps Aperture in my Finder Photo picker. I'd like to remove it (to only show Photos), is there any way? I...

So, using Get Info in Finder doesn't show any Exif data under the More Info arrow, when using a certain external drive. For images on the mac's hdd, it works. And now it gets weirder: it also works for another external drive, same size, same file system (exFat). Any ideas what's going on?

I've got a real head scratcher (for me, anyways) with the El Captain update. I've had this update for well over a year, and have had this issue appear on multiple Macbooks so I know it's not just my machine. Ever since I have updated to El Captain, the sidebar in Finder that has your saved...

I have thousands of photos coming from several facebook pages. On each of these pages new photos are being uploaded daily which I download and archive in separate folders every month. The file names of the photos are sometimes different depending on my method of receiving them. Jdownloader is my...

Hey Guys, Ever since I bought my MacBook Pro 15", new 2011 model bought in the corresponding year, I have had this problem. When I want to shut down my Mac, Finder crashes and it does not shutdown. I have to forcibly shut down the computer by holding down the power button. I can right click...

I'm suddenly having trouble with the Finder in Mavericks 10.9.5. When I open a new window on the desktop, it doesn't show any files in the window. I have the Finder set to open a specific "Projects" window, but nothing shows up in that window. If I set the Finder to open another window...

Hey guys and gals, So I installed PB4 of Sierra this morning (Macbook Air 2012) but now I can't get one of my external hard drives to work. When I connect my Seagate 500GB Slim (which I use for TM backups), Sierra recognises it no problem. However, when I connect my Seagate 2TB Backup Plus...

When is this finally going to be implemented into Mac OS? Dragging and dropping files while having to hold CMD is ridiculous. In every environment cmd+x and cmd+v means to cut and paste or MOVE something(s) except the Finder. This has been asked COUNTLESS times and if it wasn't for System...

I've got a problem with photos & videos that I've imported from my Ipad to my Mac with Photos. The problem (with some files) is that Photos shows the correct time & date when they where created (i.e. when the button was pushed). But when I check the same files in Finder (in Show package...

I've recently updated to El Capitan and downloaded a ProTools driver I shouldn't have (see ProTools HD Driver 11.3.1 for Mac: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/en379411) and now I can't turn off mac or open finder. I want to backup so I can format (been wanting to do this for a...

I'm currently running OS X 10.11.5 on an early-2015 13" MBP, and noticed that the graphical buttons for "back", "view", "arrange by" etc. on my Finder toolbar have been replaced with plain text (see screenshot). Restarting didn't help, nor did updating from 10.11.4 to 10.11.5. I've been unable...

Has anyone else had an issue where the 4K from your iPhone 6S or SE completely locks up iMovie? I have a mid-2014 Mac 15" with decent specs (benchmarks from Geekbench here) but when I go to edit or try to play the MOV file from my iPhone, I just get the spinning pinwheel and the entire program...

If I arrange by Date Modified it only use folder's modified time, not files inside that folder. (ss attached) Can it be configured?

Does anyone ever dealt with this problem? I have a hard drive dedicated to run bootcamp Windows, and on this hard drive I have two partitions: a small one for system short stroke and a large one for everything else. However the issue on OS X is that only the first small NTFS partition shows on...
