finder

I REALLY dislike the new Mojave Gallery view and found the 'old' Cover Flow to be far more functional and useful, since it still had a list view underneath and allowed the customization of different sorting methods. Is there any way to get the gallery view in Mojave to look like the old cover...

Since updating to Mojave I've noticed finder showing the wrong amount of free space and capacity for my Western Digital 6TB hard drive that I have connected through my Linksys router. When I first connect to it, it shows up on the desktop like this, only showing it as 52.4 MB capacity and 48.9...

Hi - since updating to Mojave, I cannot open any of the Finder menus (nor the top left Apple icon menu when on the Finder screen). I tend to run my apps in Full screen mode, using swiping or a hot-corner to switch between them. But clicking on Menus when in Finder does nothing.. Any ideas...

Have been having issues with JPG QuickLook Finder previews since I got this laptop early this year (Macbook Pro 2017 15" 2.9 GHz currently on 10.13.4). Updated the OS several times from the version that came stock without any results. Was able to drastically reduce .CR2 preview load times with...

Hi, So have my photos on my mac set to download and keep all photos, and I optimize on my iPhone 8. I have my iphone set to take high efficiency photos and videos (HEIF and HEVC). When I look at the details of my videos in the photos app it has the HEVC label. But when I look at them in finder...

Wondering about this for some time, the Show all filename extensions toggle in Finder -> Preferences -> Advanced has never ever worked as I expected. No matter which version of mac osx I have used in which this toggle exists, file extensions are always visible irregardless of this toggle...

Hi, how can I from Finder open the current folder in Terminal?

After uninstalling Skype yesterday to see if re-installing would help a glitch I've been having, I've found the Finder is not working properly. At first I couldn't click to open any Desktop files though they would open if I went through the appropriate app. Force Quit seemed to help that. But...

Hi there, I have a late 2012, 27 inch iMac, with a 3TB fusion drive and 32GB of RAM. I'm only using around 650GB of my Hard Drive's storage and rarely, if ever, push the limits of my RAM. I also keep my files fairly organised and regularly scan for viruses and malware. I should also note that...

Hi all, I used to use xtrafinder but then had to abandon it as I never managed to make the system tweak required (SIP). Then I moved to totalfinder which was as awesome as xtrafinder. this one worked without any issue. Now that I reinstalled my Mac yesterday to high Sierra and wanted to see...

Hey folks, I've tried to find an answer without posting a new thread but unfortunately have had no luck. My finder window doesn't seem to show all folders unless I make the window size bigger. I can continue to scroll down to find the folder with the arrow keys but it will just disappear off...

I'm observing that each time a new app comes to the Mac platform, the behaviour of the red button is more like the Windows one: killing the app. This thread is on Mohave sub-forum for a reason: the last incorporated apps from Apple, like the Voice Memos app or the Home app, which come directly...

How can i set the finder window sidebar to be set at the same length in every finder window i open? Is this a matter of settings?

Hello! Yeserday everything worked, today opened my Mac Mini and Finder finds nothing. I use it every day to catalogue and find image files. Did no changes yesterday, no updates as much as I know. Before, when I used "Search This Mac" by putting image file's name into top right search box, it...

Hello, I have been using a very basic Automator script that auto move files and folders on the Desktop to another place in my Mac (under my main user account, nothing fancy). Yet even though the script is quite simple, i'm having problem with Automator ever since I installed the beta. I was...

Hi I'm on mid-2015 MB Pro, OS 10.13.5. Spotlight and Finder Search aren't working well. Can't find text in Word docs. This is important for my work. Anyway to reset Spotlight? Any testing to tell why it and Finder Search aren't working right? Can going into SafeBoot help spot things...

After years of asking why would Finder forget some folders view options I've come to realise that it has to do with it's partition type. If a HDD or SSD is formated as something like ExFat (non-Apple) Finder won't save view options for those folders. Is there a workaround it?

Call it a bit of OCD or perfectionism but I'd love to remove the little proxy icons at the top of title bars in OS X. I know what they're for but I've never once used them and would like to just see those little icons gone to make the visuals a bit cleaner. ...I've seen screenshots of...

So I'm trying to set up an AppleScript to open a single Finder window with specific view properties and it's working fine, except I can't hide the sidebar. The only instructions I've found online mention using "set sidebar width to 0" but this returns an error in Mavericks. I'm new to...
