finder

I've used Finder tags to sort a large database on my existing MacBook AIr. Now it has come time to migrate to a new MacBook Air but I cannot find any documentation on how to transfer the tags over along with the file. I use Google Drive to host and sync my files. I did a trial run and the...

Hey there, I have a very annoying bug destroying my workflow. The with of the column view is extraordinary wide - wider than the longest file name. This bug appears with every folder anywhere. If I resize it once to the correct size, all the following folders have the correct column with. But...

This issue has got to be something that I am overlooking, as it is such a basic task... Upon searching for files with Finder, the list of found items cannot be deleted. Discovered this when attempting to search all drives for .BAK files. Finder locates many .BAK files, but when they are...

Just recently for some reason, when I open one of my HDs up in Finder (I always use List view) I have to resize the columns to be able to see them all. I have the following columns: Name Date Modified Size Kind When I open the folder I can only see Name and Date Modified, I have to resize them...

When I first restart my machine, JPEG previews work fine. After some time (or perhaps it's conflicting with another app? I don't know), it'll stop working and I just get the spinning hatch marks where a thumbnail would normally appear. I "solve" the problem by doing a Restart (which also...

Hey everyone, I recently updated my Macbook (looks like it's now OS X El Capitan 10.11.16) and after a day or working okay, it suddenly won't allow to me to access Finder. The desktop is blank, and when I click on Finder it says "The application “Finder” can’t be opened." I wanted to try...

I’ve got 10 thousand pictures to rename. They are titled like this now: "46gibberish, 47gibberish, 48gibberish...". How do I batch-rename the files into something like this: "D2018.1, D2018.2, D2018.3..."? Am I right that this way they will still open in chronological order? Also, it would...

If disks keep refusing to eject, I've found that killing this process in Activity Monitor allows them to be ejected 99% of the time. Wasn't really sure where to post this, but I hope that helps somebody.

Recently I upgraded to OS X Mojave, and have been enjoying the joys of Dark Mode across my folders in Finder...for the most part. Currently the background of my folders is set to the default colour, because it's easy on the eyes. But as soon as I search for something, the background of the...

Hi, Since upgrading to Mojave two months ago, my Finder has been continuously unresponsive. Every day I get this bloody beachball. I've tried everything. killall Finder: worked for 20 minutes Deleting plists: worked for one boot Not shutting down: worked for 3 days Deleting caches: worked for...

I don't understand what Apple is doing in its recent updates to both MacOS and iOS. The previous view showed previews on top, and a list view on the bottom where I could change the sort order and knew what was going on. Now it's a mystery. It's certainly not intuitive any more. I don't get it...

Since the update to Mojave I have had Finder crashing when pointing the my home directory and the Documents directory. I am able to get to other subdirectories of Documents through selecting the folder in Spotify Search. It occurred with the original upgrade to 10.14.0 in Sept, and then I did...

So I recently upgraded to Mojave and this new "Import from iPhone" and "Use Groups" options are getting annoying. Every time I right click to Clean Up or Show View Options or whatever, I'm slowed down by the fact that i now have to scroll though all of these options. What used to be a very...

I had to search for a video file that I need in a editing project. How can I find what the parent folder is?

Hi, since I upgraded to Mojave, my recent files don't appear in finder. For instance today, under 'recents' folder I have only one file from today and none from yesterday, although I have worked and created several files in these two days. I upgraded to 10.14.1 and still have the same problem A...

Hey folks, Finder remembers the size of every window and I created a mess with lots of different window sizes for different folders and disks. To get back to a more streamlined interface, I ran the following command to get rid of the .DS_Store files, which save the window size and position...

This is probably something simple. I hope. I have been trying to find out the answer to it since I got Mojave. Finder, in the left-hand column, gives me shortcuts to my drives and "Network." So when I want to access a folder on my desktop or Documents, or anywhere else, I have to drill down 5...

I open a new Finder window and choose the Pictures item in the sidebar. This shows one icon labeled Photos Library.photoslibrary. Double-clicking on this icon opens the Photos app. I would like to see all of my pictures in Finder and I thought choosing the Pictures sidebar item would show this...

Hi there, has anybody experienced this too by any chance (see file attached)? The side bar appears completely blacked out and the folders appear highlighted in blue for no reason. I didn't highlight these folders myself. Or is this even a slight indication of an internal hardware issue? Note...
