Back button in Finder Maverick*
Hi
I use the tabs feature in Mavericks finder a lot but find that the back and forward buttons grey out after the Finder window is left idle for some time. This means I have to select the folders anew as opposed to moving back and forwards in folders. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks
Arfan
That sounds rather strange. I am not on the 10.6 machine, so I can't check out my results, but as a quick check to make sure it's not some random strange event in Finder, have you restarted?
If that doesn't work, another quick troubleshooting step would be to remove the com.apple.finder.plist from your user/Library/Preferences folder. Log out and back in.
The third thing I'd try is log into another user on the machine and see you still see that behavior. I keep another user account on the my Macs to test out such things.
Hopefully, someone else that is running the update can post with their observations.

Drag file next to back button on finder
I accidently dragged a file next to the Back button (see picture).
It's really annoying because not only it takes space beside the back buttons, but it also looks ugly and I don't need such feature.
How can I remove this shortcut?
Thanks!Have you tried holding the command key down while you dragged it off?
-
I tried all I could think of but found nothing. In addition, I checked the phone's memory and found the file with a created date/time only about 15 minutes old. When I opened it, I was at first relieved. The portion showing on the screen was filled in. Then I looked at the other 3 and ¾ pages. All fill spaces are empty! What's up with that? And where do I find the finished form in that illusive cloud?
Form document will automatically be saved after closing the file. As far as cloud message is concerned, it seems your Mobile link setting has been turned on. When you pressed device back button after filling the form, it was saved to your Acrobat.com account. You can access this document by going to Acrobat.com tab present in left pane. Its a cloud storage area where you can upload/save any document.
Thanks,

Can not take a screenshot with Maverick and track pad. can not use apple chat to talk with a tech. there are other issues also like I used to be able to go back a page with the delete button. No Maverick PDF to instruct on how to use Maverick
THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -
Finder 'Back' button doesn't work as expected
Try this in Leopard Finder: In Finder View Options (Command-J), set Applications to always open in icon view, and Documents to always open in list view. Now open a fresh window and click each in the sidebar. They open as expected, one in icon view, and the other in list view. Now click the back button, and you're looking at the folder you just had open half a second earlier, but it's suddenly shifted to a different view - a view you explicitly told the Finder you didn't want this folder to open in. How does this make sense?
(Thanks to grasshopperus for posting this first at arstechnica: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8300945231/m/982000038831/p/1)Back button behaviour can be pretty wierd. I usually use the keyboard combination, but for some reason it doesn't work on PDF's and I have to end up using the graphical back button.
There are some websites out there that for some reason or another break the Back button's behaviour. Sometimes I have to hold down the mouse button to get the back button menu in order to work around that problem.
In another case there was this page in Amazon that wouldn't allow me to go back to. Everytime I went to that page the browser to automatically kick me to the next page. I had to disable javascript to work around that problem. -
I can't find the "back button".
I never have a back button, ever. I have not seen one since upgrading to 4.0. I'm talking about an arrow on screen to go backwards or forwards.
* If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
See [[Menu bar is missing]])
* Make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Where do I find the "page back" button. Mine is "grayed out"
On many pages I can't use the page back button it is gray and won't allow me to use it.
When this happens how can I get to page back other than closing Firefox and reopening it.
thank youStart Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox now opens to a blank page and the word Firefox appears in upper left hand corner in orange. It, apparently, contains a drop down menu. I can navigate from here but "back" button does not function in any website. How do I get it back to where it was previous to this change?
You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
(i) Page thumbnails (default)
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
(ii) Blank tab
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
(iii) Built-in Firefox home page
browser.newtab.url = about:home
(iv) Any other page
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed? -
We accidentally pushed the back button while watching a movie and lost the move. We went to the rent section which said we already rented it and told us to go to settings and downloads to download. There is no downloads under settings, how do we get our move back???
When I see a question I think I know the answer to, I'm there.

Safari 7.0.4 Back button often greyed out.
Since updating to Mavericks and getting Safari 7.0.4 with that, often my Safari back button is greyed out when clicking on a link in a page. When a link opens a new window, of course there will be no back button function for that new window until you click on to another page. That is not the problem. My back button is greyed out often when I click on a link that changes the current window to the new page without giving me a new window. Normal surfing stuff. I have had to use my History dropdown to go back to the previous page.
Delete the cache and troubleshoot Safari extensions and plug-ins...
pen a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here. -
How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.
Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
I'll try this once more.
1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?Thanks so much!
Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve! -
Is it possible to invalidate session when I click my browsers back button
Hai
I have a question.
I am building a jsp page with multiple forms.As of now,
no login system has been implemented.
I need my session to time out when the client click on the back
button on the browser to prevent data corruption.
Is there a possible way to do this in Java/ Script
I know the use of session.invalidate() but how to tie it up to the
browser's back button
A second problem
If I use session.invalidate() on Tomcat 3.2
I find that it is not invalidated.But this same function on tomcat 4
doesn't have any problem
Could anyone help on these issues
ThanksYou don't mean you want to invalidate session every time you move to a new page, do you? If you do, after implementation of login system the users will be asked for passwords at each page. If you don't, it's better to use headers for your response.
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Expires", "-1"); -

I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
url: http://support.proboards.com/search
1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
