keep spring loaded stacks stay in the 'stacks view' when sprung instead of opening in a finder window?

I'm really not sure if this is some stupid thing I'm missing, but I've never been able to choose 'Fan' view for any of my stacks, I only have List or Grid! I've tried it for all different sized folders, and I can't think why it's not there.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI took my laptop in yesterday because there was dust inside the screen and they replaced the whole screen and top. However, it now pops open when I pick it up. I'm a student, so it gets carried all over the place in my backpack and I can't have it popping open all the time. It's not upside down or anything, its just when I pick it up. I am leaving to go back to school in a week and I can't drive the 1.5 hours back to the mall again. What can I do? Duct tape?
Also, if I have a campus authorized retailer, can they do repairs?
I love using macs Spring-loaded folders feature but in Snow Leopard 10.6 when you place your pointer over the folder to spring open it starts blinking. I'm sure some may like this feature but for me its annoying. Is there a way to turn the blinking off and just have the folder highlight steadily like they did in Leopard and Tiger?

I have lost the stacks icon from the dock...How do I get my documents to open in a stack that displays the fan style and not individually across the dock...I have tried to create a folder, but the documents are not going in that folder they are still lining up along the dock..

I recently bought a Macbook Air which I am still getting used to. I had an older Macbook with a mouse because I disliked the trackpad on the Macbook; the Air trackpad is much nicer but I can't seem to drag and drop anything in stacks. Is there a setting or gesture that is not mentioned in the Apple documentation? I have tried everything that I can think of and nothing has worked.

I have a download folder on my dock and also on my desktop. When I click it open there is nothing there. However, when I go over to the left hand sidebar of Finder and I click on the Downloads (down arrow) label it brings up all my downloads. I used to have a spring loaded icon on my dock ... now its just empty unless I press the Downloads (down arrow) label in Finder. How can I restore the original download folder that was spring loaded on my dock?

I recently replaced my white MacBook (OS X 10.5) with a new MacBook.
In the old dock:
I had created a folder within the HD called "launcher"--so it would appear at the top of the list. I created a custom icon for the folder, created an alias on the desktop. I then put the alias in the dock. When I would click on the folder it would open like stacks.
New dock:
If I do the above process, the folder opens as a finder window--no more stacks. If I pull the folder directly to the dock, without creating the alias, the folder opens as a stack, but the icon is gone and replaced with the generic folder icon.
Is there a way to have a custom icon and have the stack/folder open as stacks? I don't like the option of putting a image file as the first item in the folder because then the "icon" that appears is smaller and in front of the folder I hate.
I Just bought my MacBook pPo tonight and I accidentally hit a button while the stacks portal was open and now it has frozen up.

I was just playing around with stacks and I found out that if you hold shift and click on a stack it springs up VERY slow, kind of cool looking the first time you do it, kind of stupid after that lol.
I've noticed recently some odd behavior regarding google chrome and my download stacks in the dock. I have my download stacks folder set so that the most current downloaded object shows up as a preview (ex. if its a pdf a photo of the pdf appears).
However recently I've noticed that when i download some .rar files or mp3's, the preview in the stacks icon is just a blank text document. its not until i click the stack and it fans out that i see that a preview of my downloaded file (ex. mp3 will show its album art).
when i click the stack again and the items fan back into the stack, the preview once again turns back into a blank document image instead of the corresponding mp3 image.
Right now, in my Stacks area I have my Firefox Downloads, Music, Movies, Pictures, and Documents. Most of them have a folder as the first item, so unless I mouse over them, I don't know which one is which. I had those folders have different icons in Tiger, but I'm not sure how to go about changing them now.

I was stupid so i delete documents and downloads from stacks and now i cant find stacks on my dock! Is there any way i can put stacks on my dock or add something to stacks? or do i have to download it or something? Pretty much, I cant add any Folders or files to the dock. But i can add apps to the dock.
View 4 Replies View Relatedmy stacks have started displaying backwards � in other words, rather than showing me the most recently added item first, it puts it last; when the stack expands, the �open in finder� option is at the top of the screen, with the most recently added item at the bottom. Instead of the other way around, which is the default. How do I change it back?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI thought I was moving something else to the recycle bin & at the last second realized I was dragging the stacks icon.
Was successful in missing the bin but must have dropped it off the dock & now I can't figure out how to replace it.
I would actually prefer to just have a 'shortcut/icon' for 'my pictures' there instead, as 99% of the time I clicked stacks I would go there.
I have an IMAC with OS X Version 10.5.8
I am using a Mac OSX 10.5.8 - my problem is that I had a number of important docs located on the dock in Stacks and today they are gone. I do not know how they disappeared or where they are, and they aren't in Finder where the original documents should be/were located. It replaced the folder in Stacks with a "?" icon instead of the first file. I have tried to go back in time using Time Machine, but restoring old data (Documents and Library) hasn't found those missing docs. Any suggestions on where to find my docs? I am confused as to how they could have totally disappeared from my desktop, hard drive, and backup.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the stack overlays from: http://t.ecksdee.org/post/19001860
But I can't get them working. Apparently the overlays are set to a date, so they always will appear in front. But they don't on my Mac. When I drag them over they will appear in front, but when a newer item is placed in the same folder, as the stack overlay, the overlay will just go up in the "stack hierarchy"
The commands:
cd ~/Downloads
touch -mt 202001010101.01 " Downloads "
Don't work either. So why can't I get it working?
My document stack seems to have been lost i.e. I can't remember if I moved it or whatever or if it accidentally got removed. Is there a way to put it back on, or can I create a new one?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a network shared folder added to "Places" in Finder. I have also dragged a shortcut into the dock. The problem is that when I click the shortcut in the dock, the "stacks" doesn't pop up. Instead, it only pops up when I click a second time. After that, it works fine. It stops working after I restart the machine, so I have to click again for it to work.
So basically, it looks like when I click it the first time, it "makes a network" connection to my windows PC where the network folder is located. This looks like probable because the fact that under "Shared" in finder, the PC isn't listed UNTIL I click the mounted network folder in the "Places" in Finder.
For the last couple of days, I haven't been able to drag any files over from my Stacks to the Trash; nothing happens. I'm forced to open the folder and drag it over from there or Apple+Delete it. I *might* have accidentally deleted a file (I don't remember which) causing this to suddenly happen and haven't been able to figure out how to fix it. It's more of an annoyance than anything else.
