Agh is there any way to get all your folders Expandable/Collapsable in List view?

In Mavericks, all folders had little arrows and you could just tap Right Arrow key to expand them without having to open them.
Only random folders seem to be able to open now.


Also merging all your finder windows when you have iCloud drive working fucks the whole thing up.

Why did I upgrade to this :smithicide:

Anyone else not able to re-arrange dock icons?

I've had this REALLY annoying problem for a while now, at least since 10.9 (and maybe even 10.8. I'm on Yosemite now) and I can't for the life of me figure it out:

When I go to shutdown my MBP (mid-2012, 13inch, 2.9 i7, 8gb ram), finder will quit and then the mac just stops on the desktop. It's not frozen but what I have to do is open up another app from the Dock , usually System Preferences and then Shut down from the apple menu again.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? It's bugging the poo poo out of me.

I have a similar thing happen. I just force it once it hits that point. I was thinking I need to reset SMC or PRAM.

Have you tried either of these yet?

Steadiman posted:

Pretty much the same here, also happens when I want to restart (mid-2012 MBA). It kindly quits all the open apps and then it just...stops. I can still swipe between desktops and wallpaper still changes but that's about all I can do other than just hard resetting it.

Yeah this is exactly my problem, I've resorted to using the power button now whenever I need to shutdown, it's very annoying.

Is anyone else no longer able to Copy/Paste between folders in Finder anymore on Yosemite?

I used to be able to just CMD C/CMD V between folders, now I have to drag. It's SUPER annoying.

Also, since the latest update I keep getting Popups asking if I want to allow Programs to Connect online, even after I've given them permission on my firewall. Anyone else getting this??

For anyone annoyed with the new fullscreen thing, buy Moom, it's great and it can snap windows to a predefined grid. Bought it last week and I'd highly recommend it but there's a free trial!

Is there any good software for keeping my iPhoto library backed up online while I wait for Apple to release the new Photos app? Currently I have the Library file located inside my OneDrive folder but I'd like to mirror a copy to my Google Drive folder as well. Is there any software that'll detect changes when I update my library and make an updated copy in the Google folder?

I remember software like this back when I was on Win7 but I'm not sure what's out there for OSX. Thanks!

Is anyone having troubles publishing photos to a shared iCloud stream in iPhoto? I keep adding photos to streams but they never turn up on the iPad I have it shared to. I've only managed to get one photo working so far.

Bit the bullet and upgraded to Yosemite.

It mostly went smoothly, but I can't see any album artwork on my iphone - just text with the artisit name and song name. When I look at my music in iTunes 12.0.1.26 I can see the album art though.

I don't know if this is the problem but I had an issue where the actual album art wasn't embedded in the mp3s and iTunes just grabbed the album art from...no idea where? Try checking in iTunes if there's actually any album art embedded in your albums!

Hey all, if this is the wrong place to post asking about a problem I've been troubleshooting for a bit, then I'm a jerk. I think it may be on the software side, but I understand there could be a number of problems.
I've had a macbook for a few months (i7, 8gb RAM, 1TB HDD, most current model, ya'll feel me) and I've been running it into my TV as a mirror display since I've had it. The TV is a 40" LED HD Element(cheap) from Target about two years ago. Anyhow I've been using an HDMI cable with the thungerbolt moshi adapter from apple and everything's been fine up until now.
Since about two nights ago when I plug my laptop into the tv with hopes to display as a mirror, the projection appears fine on the tv, but my macbook screen seems compressed. It's as if the my laptop's monitor becomes "widescreen" and it displays inch wide black bars across the top and bottom of the display. If I mess with the resolution a bit I can get it to fit my macbook's screen, but end up with a compressed/cropped image on the tv screen.
I'm especially partial to screen mirroring for whatever reason, so while I understand that I could use the tv as an extended monitor as a workaround, there's a number of other issues I'd have to resolve (like a gray bar running across my full screen VLC video)
The only reason this concerns me in the first place is because up until now the display fit perfectly on both screens simultaneously. If anyone has any ideas for a fix or has had any issues similar and could give me any advice I would greatly appreciate it. If not please ignore me :D
Also, I apologize for the wall of text, but I wanted to try and explain the issue as best as possible.
Thanks!

Did you try turning on and off the option for "scale best for display" or whatever it's called ?

Does anyone know if HyperDock has some way of letting you click the Finder icon to open a new Finder window? I could swear this was a feature that I had working. I then disabled HyperDock by accident and when I turned it back on it appeared to be gone. Maybe I never had it??:iiam:

The problem is if you delete them from your iPhone, it deletes them from everywhere I think. The Photos thing is such a piece of poo poo, I was so looking forward to it :(

How good is Photos? How much space does it use once you upload your collection to iCloud?

It'll use 30gb or whatever amount you use. Apple have only a measly 5gb free so you'd need to upgrade to a paid tier. It's pretty bad imo. Using the photos app as just an updated iPhoto with iCloud Photo Library turned off is the only way I've been able to deal with it.

Is it possible to see the photos you take on your iphone in the new photos app without uploading your mac's entire library to icloud? I don't really have any desire to do that and I'd have to pay more because it'd fill icloud up.

Hmmm, you CAN see them without uploading but you'd have to turn iCloud photo Sharing off and go back to Photo Stream. I did this cos I already back my photos up with one drive and Dropbox so I just use my iCloud storage for keynotes and stuff now.

Quantum of Phallus

Basically turn off iCloud photo sharing on your Mac and iPhone and you're good to go.

My iPhone actually seems to back up stuff to Photos over wifi anyway. I'm not sure where I turned that on but it's great.

What's up with the way Photos handles Thumbnails and Previews? Every so often I'll just get awfully low-res thumbnails in All Photos view. Any way to rebuild these? I know Photos actually stores them as jpgs inside the application.
