You can see "THEVAULT" share here Double-clicking it in Finder gives this error , and you cannot see the contents of the share. But if I navigate to /Volumes/THEVAULT in Finder or in a bash shell, it works fine Finder Terminal Any idea why I cannot click on the Synology share and...

It takes Finder much longer to load RAW (in this case .CR2 from a Canon 7D) files on my new 2017 MacBook Pro 15" (2.9 GHz 10.13.4 up to date OS) when tapping the spacebar to preview the file than my 2012 MacBook Pro 15" running Mountain Lion. Any way to speed up these previews on the new...

In icon view or list view if I go back(button or CMD+[), it lands on the previously viewed folder. I remember in Windows there is this option that took me directly to the enclosing folder with the item selected (just like CMD+ up arrow). Brief research shows that this was like that until El...

Hi I need a quick solution to a problem. We have over 15000 images that need renaming. Is there a simple way to find text in a file name (from a cvs file) and replace text in a file name (again from a csv file)?? Eg. File Name - AA021 asphalt/fuchsia FRONT.jpg We have a CSV of full names...

Hi guys, I'm just starting with FCPX, and few days ago I had some issues with my project. So I'll start from the beginning. I've started my project on external disk, because I did not have any space on my Mac. So everything was cool, and I was finishing my project, but I've done something...

Basic request but I'm using a 5k Retina iMac and I would like to use Finder in 'list view' but have the icons larger then the two options the Apple gives you(per below to the right). The largest the icon can go looks to be about 48 x 48(it doesn't say). I'd like to mimic the size the the icon...

I posted this on the Apple.com forums to no avail. I have found plenty of "solutions" but the popular fix doesn't work for me. Such a basic problem — so incredibly irritating. I can't copy images off of my camera cards (both SD & CF) after moving from 10.8.5 to 10.11.3. I incessantly get the...

Hi, below you can find a simple video to show you what I would like to do, I am sorry for my english pronunciation. I explain what I need: I like to use just the keyboard to open and close files, because sometimes I have to open thousands of files one-by-one. In Windows I usually opened a file...

I have just published the app to the Mac App Store that introduces several new concepts to the file management bringing some real innovation into this fairly stale area of the software. Use cards, zoomed out view and workspaces to navigate a huge collection of files and folders as easy you...

In my Home folder all the icons spread out evenly across the white space of the window, but in my Documents folder the icons are all sticking to the left side. I've tried messing with all the view options and Arranging/Sorting them by kind,name,etc but they just won't budge!

Hello! I'm searching for a program/way to see (like in a log file for instance) all action Finder does on my mac. I mean, for example, a way to see all files created during an installation of a .pkg, and the directories where they are stored. Any way to do this? Thanks!

Hello, for some reason my finder was working fine and then upon reopening began to use the wrong icons for files (for example .docx icon for folders and sometimes open files other than the ones I clicked on. ) Any idea on how I can reset it?

I want to create a smart folder that lists the last ten files in all of the system that were modified by me, not auto-saved or system based. Possible? I see "owner" in the options but don't know if this would be any help

Could somebody please shed some light on these matters... About 3-4 years ago my photos went berzerk. I'm not exactly sure, when it happened, but in any case I didn't have any appropriate hard drive backup with which I could have fixed this problem. I mean I had some, but they didn't help in...

Hi, how are you guys? I have a 2017 27“ iMac ( vacuum cleaner fan noise edition ). I noticed yesterday that in my Finder under -Shared- my Windows Laptop showed up. Didn’t share anything or connect the two devices which is why I was wondering why it is suddenly showing up there. I did use the...

Hi all, I have come across a strange issue in the finder when copying a folder or folder structure with custom-set icons, after pasting, they quickly revert to the mac default folder icon. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Is there a way to fix this? Here's a video reference...

I have been noticing that finder is getting very unresponsive and laggy whenever you open files and the beach ball never stops rolling until I only have to force quit or relaunch finder. Does anyone have the same issue ?

hi, i've seen a few people searching for similar things but none of the solutions work. ideally i don't want a list produced by terminal because i hate using it. i've tried using finder to search for kind -> music but it only shows three random files out of thousands. the reason i want to...

2009 iMac running High Sierra. Moved all media to an external drive to prepare for moving to new Mac with SSD. Finder reports 850GB of free space on Mac HD. However, my user folder shows it is 580GB used. This is inconsistent. Why would finder be reporting such difference sizes for folders ...
