OK! OK! I took the plunge and wiped out my whole drive and did an "Erase and Install" of Panther to start from scratch... It's an extreme action, but I hope to resolve this frustration and confusion. This time I backed up all my files on DVD-R WITHOUT the "DS_Store" files and hopefully the...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I copied and pasted that line into Terminal and executed that script and restarted, the DS_Store files are still here. And it retains my "View Options" preferences. What is the correct way to execute that script and "start from scratch"? Sorry, I'm new to the...

BTW, all folders have an icon size of 48x48 and the "All Windows" settting sticks. It's the data transferred from my backup DVDs (from Jaguar) that all have 32x32 icon sizes when brought over to Panther. Perhaps there's a plist that I need to delete/regenerate? If I create a new folder in a...

Thanks for the reply. The one thing I really don't understand is the View Options "All Windows". It doesn't work for me at all! Here's an example... So basically, I have a folder called "website", within that folder are three subfolders, "images, html, and graphics". I go into the...

Let me turn the question around. Is it possible to apply "list as view" for a certain folder and it'll apply to all enclosed folders/files at all levels? I have hundreds of folders and I don't want to open every folder and assign "view as list". Thanks in advance.

Is this only for a single window? Can I apply "view as icon" for a certain directory so all folders and files within this directory will inherit these settings? The problem is that now all folders'/files' icon sizes are 32x32. Do I have to go into each and every folder (thousands of...

The one thing that really frustrates me is viewing folders/files on Mac OS X (10.3 Panther). I've been trying about a week to figure out how to reset the view of a particular directory but it only applies to that one window. I upgraded from Jaguar to Panther, and all my files were backed up...

Thanks for all the replies. I reset the PMU on my Powerbook and I believe everything is normal. I can run Safari for 50 minutes without the fan kicking in.

Yeah, so now I'm a bit suspicious of what went wrong. In Jaguar, the fan would only come on if Photoshop is opened. But just using Safari the fan would not come on except now in Panther it does. I'm wondering if it could be the CPU performance. Now I noticed that my Powerbook operates a...

Woops, sorry, meant to put my machine specs on the bottom, but pressed the submit button too early. I have a 15" Ti Powerbook (1GHz, 1GB Ram, 60GB drive, Superdrive). BTW, no CD was inserted.

Is there a way to set all files/folders in a certain directory as "icon view"? I've asked this in Jaguar, but it didn't seem to exist, so now I've upgraded to Panther, hoping it has this option.

I'm currently running 10.3.1 and noticed my Powerbook's fan runs more frequent than in Jaguar. Only Safari is opened loading normal HTML pages with no special java application and the fan still kicks in. I've opened Activity Monitor and besides from Activity Monitor, Safari and WindowServer...

Your edit post was exactly what I meant, thanks. I've tried downloading a utiltiy to remove the ds_store files. They are removed, but they remain in "list view" and when I turn them back to "icon view" the icons are still 32x32 instead of 48x48. I've also tried deleting all ds_store files in...

I'm currently running Mac OS 10.3.1 on a 15" 1GHz Titanium Powerbook. Before I upgraded from Jaguar to Panther, I backed up all my personal files onto DVDs. After I loaded all my files onto Panther, the folder view options are the same as in Jaguar. How can I remove all the folder view...

I've been using Mac OS X for around 4 months now, but I'm still clueless of where to store some of my files and why there are duplicate folders. Let me know if I'm doing right. All applications, I install them in a folder called "Applications" under "Macintosh HD" (root?). All of my...

Thanks for the information, it answered my questions. With "Archive & Install" is there an option of deleting the "Previous System" when Panther is running fine? Just out of curiosity, when a major OS is released, which method would you prefer to perform the upgrade? If Apple releases a...

I have some followup questions. This is my first time installing an upgrade on a Mac so please bear with me. With a "clean install" does it mean that it removes everything on the drive, including apps/drivers...etc? What's the difference between the "Upgrade" and "Archive & Install" option...

Installed Mac OS X version 10.2.8 and everything went back to normal!

Following back on topic... The Powerbook will be my desktop replacement so the computer will be close to a power outlet all the time. Should I... a.)...fully charge the battery and plug the power adapter in all the time b.)...plug in the power adapter only when the battery is running...

I've tried deleting the com.apple.PowerManagement.xml file in /var/db/SystemConfiguration/ and resetting the PMU. Still no luck.
