Show View Options (DEFAULT) DOES NOT work

I'm pulling out my hair trying to get my Finder "show view options" to default. This worked fine in Leopard, but in Snow Leopard, the make "default" option doesn't seem to work. I'm using an erase and install version of Snow Leopard. I've used Cocktail and SWIPE to delete all DS_Store files and still it seems the default option won't work.
I can choose my settings, then make default. Some folders will accept it and others won't. I've searched the web and see others with the same problem. Is there an easy solution? Switching through folders only to have different finder views is really annoying.
Bryan

Thanks KT-- I finally got it. After using Cocktail, DS_Store Terminator, another app, and a terminal command, then finally a restart, all seems well. I finally have all of my finder windows to my default view.
I'll bet Cocktail and then a restart would have worked though, but I didn't restart until the last step.
Anyway, it's good now.

Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Sharepoint 2013 list view quick edit does not work with out remote API permissions

sharepoint 2013 list view quick edit does not work with out remote API permissions.
When I give Use Remote Interfaces - Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site it works which is not an ideal situation..

This is true. If you use Fiddler to watch the requests from the list view quick edit you can see CSOM calls. For example when changing a value in a cell, when you tab out you will see the SetFieldValue and Update method calls on the list item.

When I restart, previous tabs & websites open. I have selected open in new page in options this does not work

When I start my computer and open Firefox, all the tabs from the previous session open. For now, I have to return each session to my home page (Google) prior to closing to prevent this from occuring. I have selected "When Firefox starts show my home page" this does not work. I have de selected and then reselected this option numerous times and it has now become a very big annoyance. I am about to uninstall Mozilla if this cant be rectified.

View options "none" is not working for my User

Yesterday, suddenly, I can't (1) drag a file to my user desktop, though I can save to it, (2) drag a file or folder to another place on the desk-top (a bar-in-circle forbidden sign appears). I can't CMD-drag either, or make an alias , or make a new folder. "Duplicate", "Make alias", and "New folder" are greyed out in the Finder file menu. I can delete, or drag into a folder in the dock.
Under "Show View Options", I can reorder the files, which all snap to the right, but "None" just reverts me to a previous lay-out (where I had the files before), but I can't drag them to another place.
This only affects my User. I have checked another User and the Guest User, and there is no problem.
I've repaired permissions. I've trashed mu User ~/library/application support/dock; ~/library/caches/com.apple.finder; ~/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist; ~/library/preferences/com.apple.doc.plist, all without success.
Where do I go from here? I'd be very grateful for help.

"Show all filename extensions" does not work!

I want to be able to see the file extensions of all my files. I go to Finder->Preferences->Advanced, and then I check the "Show all filename extensions" checkbox, yet it still does not work! I tried rebooting my computer and double checking if that checkbox is still checked, and it is, and it still does not work!
Any help?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Popups: Navigation from view to window does not work

Hi,
I open a second window as popup. This window has 2 views embedded, displaying view1 first. On some actions I would like to navigate to view2.
Defining an outbound plug on view1 and an inbound plug on view2, connecting them and firing the outbound withith the onaction works absolutely fine.
However, for some reasons I would like to avoid a direct navigation, but would like to navigate from view1 to the popupo window and from there to view2 (or maybe another view, ofcourse also embedded in the same popup window). Unfortunately I fail on this scenario - I can fire the view-to-window plug, but the destination on the window side (handle in method) is never reached.
Since the same concept works fine on non-popup windows I wonder whether a navigation from view to embedded window does not work for popups?
Any idea?

Hi Yashpal,
no, just one window.
The first link is view1 -> window, the second window -> view2.
I.e., I fire in the view the outbound plug, which is connected with its window.
In the window I fire an outbound plug, which is connected to view2.
In theory this should work - for non-popup windows I do not have any problem at all, however, for popup windows the navigation from view1 to the window is not processed.
In the meantime I played a little bit further: Instead of firing a navigation from view1, I now fire an event defined in the component contoller, on which an event method is registered within the window. Doing so, I reach the window, which I didn't reach via the navigation link. Once in the window, firing to view2 works just fine ...
Hope the issue is a bit clearer now. Also I found a solution, I am surprised that the simpler way via navigation does not work.

Command to set firefox as default does not work

After setting chrome as my default browser, I want to set Firefox as my default browser from the command line on windows.
According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser I ran
firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
But that does not work. Chrome stays as the default browser. Setting FF as the default from the FF dialog (asking to set as default) works but I want to do it from the commandline.

We have a support article on that: [[Make Firefox the default browser on Android]]. When trying to determine the current default browser app, I think Samsung's is called "Internet".

Two-side View as Preference does not work

Two Side View ist set as Preference (Edit-Preferences-Page Display - Page Layout- Two-up) but does not work when opening a File. Has to be set manually every time (View-Page Display) - any suggestions? Acrobat Reader 11.0.3

Klaus, I beg to differ: Any capable graphics app. should succeed in opening them, but the files themselves should open in the app. the user has assigned to them—usually the one whose icon they carry—and only in that app. Computers are supposed to do as they're told.
First off, assure yourself that all your maintenance is up to date: MacJanitor, or Onyx or … the like and permissions repair have helped me w/ this sort of issue.
The other sorta helpful note is that apparently there's more than one flavour of some file types like .pdfs, JPEGs and such. The helpful advice I got was to be prepared to "Change all" a few times w/ common types before Finder would finally get my drift. With Apple in the mixed up midst of file recognition by type and creator codes (old style) and by extension (their style) as well as by meta data (new style) it's a wonder anything opens, and no surprise that the Finder's 'sytsem' hiccoughs disappointingly often.

Save as default does not work

Pages 09 constantly defaults to US Letter. I've tried to change to US Letter Borderless but the 'Save as Default' on Page Setup does not work. I've reloaded Pages to no avail.
Any tips, tricks or suggestions?

Is it an already saved document you are having problem with or one of the templates? How do you know that it doesn't default to Borderless? But when I try on Snow Leopard it doesn't remember borderless either.

Option+Return does not work in applescript studio

Fresh install of osx 10.4.6 Tiger, newest release of xcode.
I start an applescript studio application project, when editing in Xcode Option+Return does not insert the continue line character.
I can open the same .applescript in the Applescript Editor and Option+Return does work.
Also, Option+Return works in my desktop installation of Xcode. No idea what's different here or how to fix it, but it's really messing with my work flow.

Moved to .NET SDK forum.
Search here, lots of post on IIS and setting Printer Access Permissions for your application.
Also search MSDN on what is required to for IIS to access local Printers.
Also search for ActiveX Controls and Browser permissions, you'll likely have problems there also since most Browsers will not or do not recommend allowing any ActiveX control.

Shockwave option "swContextMenu" does not work

The option to hide the contextual menu does not work (context

(WTH!)
Any idea?

I have found the solution! If you have a sw* parameter too long (really too long), the right-click context menu always work, despite the swContextMenu parameter... :-)

After installing or upgrading to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not show homepage, customize shows a blank page and the option button does not work

I am the Windows admin for a university department and install PCs with Firefox all the time. This problem does not happen with every PC I maintain, only a select few (different model laptops with Windows 8.1 and update 1.) Until today, it only happened with new user accounts (with admin rights) that I setup on the laptops for our staff. Today this happened with The Administrator account while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I install Windows from a saved image that was created using sysprep.
I have tried the many suggestions of resetting Firefox, deleting the users Firefox profile, deleting the users Windows profile, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helps. After uninstalling, I run an app to delete temp files and caches and will even manually remove registry keys HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. Plus I reboot and make sure the install folder is deleted after uninstall.
Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial setup window for migrating IE and/or Chrome pops up and after clicking the Finish button, Firefox starts, but does not show the initial new user page, only a blank page. Clicking on the Options button (3 bars) does nothing. Right-clicking in the proper area, the popup menu appears so I can choose to Customize, but that only opens another tab with about:customize in the URL and the page is blank. From the right-click popup menu, I can enable the Menu Bar and get to Options from that.
My latest attempt has helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned up, deleted user Firefox profile, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Inital startup runs, and tells me I'm not up to date, and the Options button works. But I still cannot customize.
I then upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no startup page, no options button and no customize. I can downgrade to 30 and get all but customize working again.
Only Addon is one for McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which just after installing is disabled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Macbook Pro 2010 15" 2.66GHz Intel Core i7
So this is my miserable situation:
Last night I dropped my Mac on right bottom corner (unfortunately where hard-drive is located).
After this the device makes a jerking/clicking sound from right bottom corner which is most definately the hard-drive. I was able to use the device for a minute and then it froze. After a hard-reset the device got stuck on the apple logo while the wheel was spinning, waiting for a while, I got no response so I did another hard-reset and since then the only thing I was able to see was the grey screen with no logo.
I am aware that I need to replace the HDD but I have critical information to be backed up. So I discussed the issue with a friend of mine who is an expert in these situations and he told me to try to repair the drive with Disk Utility and if it did not work I have to boot into DiskWarrior 4.4.
About an hour after the incident I tried these:
Holding Option after chime allowed me to enter Recovery Mode. I tried this 4 times and these are the results I got:
First Time: The recovery screen showed "Macintosh HD" and "Recovery HD" with the chance to choose a network to connect to. Mistakenly I hard-reseted again since I did not know how to proceed.
Second Time: This time the only option on recovery screen was "Internet Recovery" and apparently the device did not recognize my hard-drive anymore.
Third Time: I had the options to do an "Internet Recovery" or "EFFY or IFFY Something (I don't remember clearly)"
Forth Time: I tried Internet Recovery yet received a -2002F error.
Last Time: I tried Internet recovery, was able to access Disk Utility. Proceeded to do a "repair" and got "Invalid Node Structure" error. While the Disk Utility was attempting to rewrite B-tree the Macintosh HD drive disappeared from left side and everything froze. I attempted another hard-reset until now.
At the moment: I borrowed a copy of DiskWarrior from a friend mine. I attempted to hold C after chime, I got no result even though I waited for approximately ad hour. Then I tried to access it through Recovery Mode. So I held option for a lengthily time and no result! Force-ejected the disk. Tried to access Recovery Mode by itself again and after 10-12 attempts I cannot manage to access it from gray screen.
I know I have to hold the C or Option key after the chime. I know that I have to "hold" it. I know how to operate these. This is not my issue. It just doesn't work.
I would highly appreciate if an expert can guide me through this.

Hi j,
You can try FireWire Target Disk Mode http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
though I doubt it will work with a dead/near dead HD. Depending on what has been damaged, a professional data retrieval service may be able to salvage some data; look up data retrieval in yellow pages or online. When you talk to them, make sure you're sitting down as their service is extremely expensive. IIRC, some won't charge you unless they can actually retrieve data. IIRC.
As for the MBP itself, it sounds like you know what you're doing, and putting a new HD should tell you if it was just the HD problem, or if there is additional damage.
Good luck to you.
