Always open Mac HD in list view How To?

How do you Always open your Mac HD in list view. 10 x out of 10.
After restarting or logging on again.
I double click my Macintosh HD desktop icon.
It opens in icon View
Under View Tab in Finder
I select "Show View Options" last choice
Mac HD small View Option window opens
I unselect "Always open in icon view"
I reselect the original Mac HD window
and click the 2nd icon with 4 horizontal lines= list view.
The Mac HD small View Option window now changes to "Always open in list view" Use as Default is Grayed out. (I have also tried switching one of the "Show Colums:" subcategories such as "Version" to ungray "Use as Defaults" and now click "Use as Defaults"
I close the small Mac HD View Option window.
I close the original Mac HD window with small icon next to words.
I log out
I log in double click my desk top Macintosh HD icon and the window seems to Always open in icon view.
Any help for this ongoing problem would be appreciated.
THANKS

Download TinkerTool - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Use the General page and check the option at the top to display invisible files. Click the button to relaunch the Finder. In the window you want locate the .DS_Store file and drag it to the Trash. Empty the Trash. Uncheck the invisibles option box in TinkerTool then the Relaunch Finder button. Quit TinkerTool. Locate /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file and drag it to the Trash. Don't empty the Trash.
Now in the desired Finder window reset all your default view options by clicking in the Finder window then pressing COMMAND-J to option the View Options dialog. Do not close this window. Now try restarting. Your window should open on restart automatically in the view you desire. Should you close that window anytime reopen it by clicking on the Finder icon in the Dock, not by double-clicking on the disk icon on your Desktop.

SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

Hi there,
Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
Thanks,

Hi，
Per my knowledge,
it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.
Best Regards，

Despite setting a Home Page Firefox always opens in the last page viewed. How do I solve this?

I have followed the instructions for setting a Home Page. Firefox always opens in the last page I viewed. Clicking on the Home icon does take me to my Home Page once Firefox has opened.

You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

How to open a portfolio in list view using Reader XI?

First, I know all about using /A to open a PDF document on a particular page, etc. My issue is that I have a portfolio that I refer to on a daily basis. When I open it, I see a "cover-flow" view where my most common doc is off the side of the screen. When opening, I almost always first click on the "Files" button, where I can find the bundled docs much easier. I would like to always open in this view, preferably by setting a shortcut on my desktop.I'm not the author of the portfolio and a new version is released quaterly, so solutions that require modifying it are of less interest to me. Thanks!

List view - how to set spacing

I am running Mavericks on a MBP and want to set List view so the Name column doesn't stretch out all the way across the window - I want it to default to something only 1.5-2 inches on screen, so I can easily see and order things by the other columns [such as size, date etc.] - I can't figure out how to set up List View to have a default spacing setting = if I add Comments column [which generally is blank anyway] that'll do it but I don't want that, I just want to set up the Name column in list view to be more limited and not stretch all the way across on first opening.

It's dynamic and requires showing more than just the name column. That's Apple's new paradigm.

Why won't Finder open some folders in List view?

I cannot open some folders in Finder when it's in List View. For example, I have an external drive divided into 3 volumes: Ext A, Ext B, and Ext C. B & C open fine when I double click: A will not open at all, although sometimes Finder will open a blank window. If I click on the volumes in the Finder sidebar I get the same results. BUT if I switch to Column View it opens OK. Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my folder? (All volumes above have identical permissions.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I ran the disk verify utility and all the volumes checked out OK. It has also happened with one folder of the internal hard drive. I ended up copying all the data from that folder and putting into a new (re-named) folder, and deleting the original. The new folder was accessible OK.
It must be something to do with that one folder??

Opening Mac FLAs on a PC - how?

I'm trying to open an FLA that I'm pretty sure was created on
a Mac. I'm trying to open it on a PC in MX. I get an 'Unexpected
File Format' error when trying to open. Any suggestions?
Are there any programs like Flash Typer that open Mac files
on a PC or is my problem a different one? Thanks everyone, I
appreciate it as these files are very important!

I too thought it was cross platform, so I guess you're right
in assuming it's a CS3>MX issue. Anything else it may be
tho?

Bookmark sidebar always open when I start Firefox. How to prevent?

Upon starting Firefox, the bookmarks sidebar is always open. It is a nuisance to constantly need to close it. This has never happened before. It suddenly started a couple weeks ago and now the sidebar is open each morning I open Firefox. I can't find any options for it in the menu. Just the temporary closing. Using Firefox 26.

I removed an app from my "Purchases" tab list view - how do I get it back?

Hi all
Went into app store, clicked on "Purchases" tab and it displays a list of my Purchased appstore items. I was having an issue with Growl (going from non-AppStore to App Store version) and needed to re-install it.
I inadvertently clicked on the "x" button next to Growl in my Purchase History and now it is gone.
Is there any way to get it back in the list? I know I can install/re-install Growl from the application page in App Store.
thanks
Peter

Found the answer in another thread (kind of), but I don't know how to link to or credit the post that pointed me to the approach of looking in my iTunes Account section (sorry). Poster was @staticshokx
The trick is to go to "View My Account" from menu
Login to your Apple Store account
Under the Heading "iTunes in the Cloud" there is a blue text link "View Hidden Purchases"
Click on it, and then you can un-hide any apps that you have previously hidden from your purchase hsitory.
Hope this helps others.
I am running Mac OSX 10.7.2 with iTunes 10.5.1

When openning firefox from the task bar it opens to the last page viewed how can I change that

Whenever I open Firefox from the taskbar or the desktop icon it opens to the last session pages. Is there a way to change that back to the homepage.

hello svicinanza, that is probably caused by the user.js file in your profile (it shouldn't be present anyway in case you haven't created it manually, since it can be used to overwrite your custom preferences).
in order to resolve that, go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''user.js''' and restart the browser.

afterwards try to set the options for your homepage in the firefox menu again: [[How to set the home page]]

Whenever I open the browser, the check plugins page always opens in a second tab. How can I make this stop?

Whenever I open my browser, the check plugins page keeps opening, even after I have updated all of my plugins.
How can I make this stop?

That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed.<br />
You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

Button in Content Viewer always opens the Menu of Content Viewer

I tried about everything. I searched in every Forum for my Problem.
But I couldn't find any answer, so I must be doing something completely wrong.
• I'm using the latest Adobe CS 5.5 to build a folio.
• I'm creating buttons, which work with the indesign preview (in the right hand Menu)
• But everytime I try them on my iPad with the Adobe Content Viewer App they don't work:
By tapping on the Button, the Menu of the Content Viewer App opens and not the preset action (Go to State...)
Please help me, I'm desperate!
Thx

My First Try:
I have got two States, and the Button (the oval in the middle) should switch to the second State
My second try:
Here: by tapping the green dot, the second State (which sits just on top of the dot) should appear.
Like I said, in theory (with the preview function on the computer it works, but not on the ipad
