2 annoying Snow Leopard Problems

DELETED_63174 · 16 Mar 2010 at 20:48

Hey, I have 2 problems in OS X and I can't figure out what is causing them.

First off is a folder problem, I recently downloaded a film and renamed the folder. After I renamed it I couldn't see the text unless I highlighted it. I've tried to make a new folder and and drop the AVI file into it but the folder still wont show the text.

Secondly is another small problem, basically whenever I go to change my wallpaper. I see a second batch of all my files which only displays the file format and not the picture, I can't figure why this is.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would imagine the first 'issue' is due to you having a white font on a white background.

Edit: I laugh, but my font/text on the Mac has a drop shadow so can be seen on white backgrounds anyway. Hmm.

I've just made a new folder and dragged the file into it, now it's fine...

I'm guessing it was just one of them things.

Anyone got a idea for the second issue? All my wallpapers are just showed again as the file type.

Might be a useless metadata file kicking about for each proper image file.

In Terminal, cd to your wallpaper directory and run ls -la to look for hidden junk.

I had an issue like that, try making your icons smaller or bigger if it displays correctly then, try clearing your cache...

That didn't make any sense haha, care to explain again?
