finder

Hey everyone - how do I remove the added text "- Local" (see attached screenshot) that's been added after "Documents" in Finder? I've searched the forums and other places and can't find an answer. All of my other folders in Finder don't have this added designation. Thanks! ?

I have a folder with tens of thousands of various files that I rescued and conslidated from a bunch of older drives. I am trying to move all of these files to a new drive, but I get a message that some (probably hundreds or thousands) of the files can't be copied over because they are "in use"...

Hi everyone, As the title suggests I'm having issues using my touchpad when the finder pops up to select or add attachments to emails, or uploads. It works perfectly at all other times. It is really frustrating as I'm not skilled with using keyboard shortcuts within finder to select items. Why...

I've just updated to MacOS Monterey and found one of the weirdest UX step backs in design is the inclusion of black bars around video thumbnail previews in Finder. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, or if this is just a visual glitch? Thanks

I just updated from Mojave to Monterey. I was used to search inside documents from the finder search (imagine searching for an information inside a folder of files), now this function is missing. Am I missing something or is this function gone for good?

I'm looking for help and/or feedback with an annoying problem I am having using Finder. Problem: I've noticed on multiple occasions that the MacOS Finder gives incorrect information for Folder sizes. Often times it will show the Folder contains "Zero Bytes" and sometimes it will even show a...

I upgraded to Monterey yesterday, and I just tried connecting my iPhone XR to my M1 Mac mini via Lightning. The phone appears in Finder (after a time), but I want to transfer a video file via the TV app and nothing appears to be happening when I attempt that. I cannot navigate around the...

I upgraded to Monterey 12.0.1 as soon as it became available. The biggest issue I'm having is that many Finder actions relating to files stored on our (Windows) servers is excruciatingly slow. In particular, renaming a file or folder takes a ridiculously long time to take effect. Sometimes the...

Hi, I upgraded to Monterey on my 24 inch iMac. while it's otherwise great, found one problem. Earlier in Big Sur and other OS versions, in a folder where I have lot of videos or photos, "show as icons" option in the finder would display the files in the folder as icons containing a preview of...

Hi. I need to copy only all files from 130000 files between 6:00 till 17:00. How to do it in MacOs (my system) or Windows or Linux ?:) Need to create TimeLapse only with working hours. And what is best program to create Time-lapse from MILION OF FILES? iMovie crashed all the time.

I'm looking to efficiently see each folder's content from its thumbnail, unfortunately Finder doesn't seem to offer this option. You can only enable thumbnails for individual files, but not folders. I have some massive image asset folders which I need to be able to find the suitable images I...

ust downgraded from big Sur to high Sierra and now in the finder menu it is showing Remote Disc and Update I have attached a image , is this normal ???

All, this has been driving me nuts (along with the crackling audio issue) on my 2019 MBP 16". When I first open a new window, usually my HD, the window size is abnormally wide. So in list view I double click the divider between the Name and Date Modified column so the column width snaps to the...

Hey Folks, Having a frustrating problem! I can't open Finder or Keychain after the power was shut off for a couple of hours. I have tried several reboots and have also tried relaunching Finder and Keychain, it does not work. The other strange thing is that my usual home page does not display. I...

I am a newbie to macOS and would like to hide file extensions in "Finder" (“Show all filename extensions" under Finder > Preferences > Advanced is already disabled.)

Hi so on Big Sur 11.5 Macos on 2015 macbookpro I have a folder with about 4000 images. The problem I'm seeing now is that when I download an image from the web using Chrome browser, the writing of the file to the above folder is very slow. Secondly when I search for the image file name, it...

Hi, 11.4 Big Sur I have a folder of .png files, i click one and press spcebar - it previews it fine. But when i search the folder for a name, it pulls back all those files in the reuslts sure, but it gives them all a different icon, and when i press space bar to preview them they start playing...

I don’t know if this was fixed before or prior to macOS 12 Monterey, but you can now preview .CR3 RAW files in Finder. This was a big issue for me and for many others as well. Can anyone on here confirm if in fact this was fixed before? Please let me know.

This on a 2017 iMac running 10.15.7 I'm a little confused as to how the Finder displays mounted SMB shares. I have a remote Raspberry Pi which is behind a double NAT. I have set up a reverse SSH tunnel for access to SMB shares. The code on the Pi looks like this: ssh -nNTC -R...

I have an iPad Mini 2 running iOS 12.5.1 and a MacBook Pro running El Capitan. I want to be able to transfer pdf & ebook files directly between the devices ideally using a USB cable and not uploading to cloud storage or dealing with iTunes. Are there any good third-party solutions? I also want...
