Can you set default tabs to open in the finder?

Hi, I love the new "tabs" feature in the finder. I use Bootcamp and have a partitioned drive, so on the Mac side, I like to keep one tab the "videos" folder of my windows drive open so I can easily view files without having to restart my computer and open Windows. Is there a way to set Finder to ALWAYS have this tab open and the other tab to the local "All my files"?

Not that I'm aware of.
You can set it so the Finder always opens with (or opens a new tab with) a specific location, including "All my Files."
However, you can't set Finder to automatically open with multiple tabs, each with a different default view. It's a good feature request.

How can I set app tabs to open to the default page on startup?

If I use an App Tab and click on a link from that tab, then exit and open Firefox, it opens up the website I was on when I closed Firefox the last time as the App Tab. For example, If I have Google as an app tab, make a search, click on a new website, and exit Firefox, the same website from before will load in my App tab instead of Google. When I open Firefox, I want my app tabs to open to their default pages, not the pages I was surfing from those tabs when I closed Firefox.

App Tabs are not protected against changing the URL by opening a link in that same tab and Firefox doesn't keep a record of the original URL.<br />
You can middle click a link to open the link in a new tab if you do not want the tab changing the URL.
You can lock the tab with the Tab Mix Plus extension.

In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?

Problem: In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?
Every time Acrobat scans a document, I have to go to Initial View to set Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification. It does not remember the settings I last used.
Thanks in advance.

HT1677 Where can you set default in Safari to view as web page instead of Mobile Version?

Where can you set the default setting in Safari to open page as web page instead of Mobile Version on iPad running iOS6.01?

And, to make it even more fun, sometimes a website changes how it deals with Safari Mobile. A website that treated it like a desktop browser suddenly starts treating it like a cell phone. Just to mess with you. Or push an app.
Best of luck.

Can I set default to always open a link in a new window, as opposed to a new tab?

Can I set a default to always open a link in a new window, rather than a new tab?

No, not to '''''always''''' open a link in a new window. Whether a link opens in the same window or a new window depends on the the page creator specifying ''new'' or ''blank'' for that link. ''Firefox can divert the new/blank window to a Tab instead, which is the default setting.''
If you don't want tabs when a new/blank window is specified, deselect the pref for ''' Open new windows in a new tab instead''' in Tools > '''Options > Tabs'''

Can you set default values for person/group picker fields? To current user?

Two-part question/issue . . .
Part 1:
In InfoPath 2013 in use with SharePoint 2013, how do you set a Default Value for Person/Group Picker fields? Other field types like Text Boxes have a Default Value section in the Data tab of Properties. There doesn't appear to be any equivalent for
the Person/Group Picker field type in Properties. I'd like to set a default person for a few fields in a form I've created. Is this possible?
Part 2:
The default user I want to set for one of those Person/Group fields is the "current user." I want a user to log into our SharePoint 2013 intranet, load a new form for edit/creation, and have one of the Person/Group fields in that form to
automatically populate this particular user. Is this possible?

Hi Stephen,
You can auto populate your InfoPath farm with current user Name and all other property that you have in your User profile, you have couple of options.
First you can make a secondary connection in your InfoPath form with user profile and can use the UserProfileService.asmx and call the GetUserProfileByName method. Here is the steps you can follow.

Secondly you can use JQuery and SPServices ,
$().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser function to populate the values with script to achieve the same in this case you no need to use InfoPath form just create simple text type column in SharePoint
list and auto populate it with getting the current user Name from User Profile here is the scripts
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery.SPServices-0.5.4.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var userCurrentName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "CurrentUser"
$("input[Title='CurrentUser']").val(userCurrentName);
var userPhone = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "WorkPhone"
$("input[Title='Phone']").val(userPhone);

How can you set up 2 p2011w printers on the same wireless network?

Ii tried renaming one, but that didn't work. We had one, it works great, my boss loved it and bought another. Now we're all printing in his office because the one he got for us doesn't work. Any ideas?

Do a factory reset on your TC.
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec.
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Plug the LAN port of the BT router to the WAN port of the TC.
Start the airport utility in a computer and allow it to complete..
It should choose the right setup without intervention.. but you can then make sure of it.
So go to the edit tab by clicking on the TC in airport utility.
Then check the network tab shows off (bridge mode).
Go to the wireless tab and set a useful and simple and short wireless name.
You could even then click on the wireless options on that page and set a different name for 5ghz wireless.

When I open new tabs, how do I set my tabs to open to the same web page every time?

I have my home page set, but I don't see an option to set what site my tabs open with. I did have a website opening in my tabs, but it wasn't a change I made. According to one of the help articles, an extension may have changed what site kept appearing in new tabs. Now, my tabs are back to the eight tiles, but I'd like to set them to a specific website. How do I make this change to my tabs?

You will have to open the <b>about:config</b> page and set the new tab page by changing the value of the browser.newtab.url pref via the right-click context menu as stated in the KB article.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

How can I save multiple tabs to open at the same time?

Hi,
I have a set of websites that I need to access regularly and I'd like to be able to open all the tabs in a window at the same time rather than clicking on each one individually. I know this was possible in previous safari versions but I can't figure out how to do it in Yosemite (v8).
Can someone walk me through how to do this please? I've googled this but haven't been able to find an answer for this latest version of safari.
Thanks!

How do I set my downloads to open in the finder ?

How do I set my downloads to open?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to know how to 'open', view, or install something you've successfully downloaded from the internet and saved in the Downloads folder.
I am unable to determine which operating system you are using on your MacBook. Your profile lists iOS 5, but iOS5 is for an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad, not MacBook.
Your MacBook likely has one of the OS X 'cats': 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, or 10.7 Lion. Click on the Apple icon in the top left menubar and select About This Mac to see which operating system you are using.
If you are using OS X 10.7 "Lion", you should post your question in the OS X 10.7 Lion forum here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
These instructions are for a Mac using OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" but the process is very similar with OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Here's one way:
Open Finder by clicking on the icon in the lower left corner of your Dock.
Under Places in the left column, click on the 'House' icon in the left column. It probably has your name after it.
That will open a list of file folders and files in the right column.
Click on the Downloads folder.
Clicking on the Name column heading in the right column will sort the file list by that column.
Clicking on the column heading a second time will sort the file list in reverse order.
Locate the file you want.
Single click on the filename and press the space bar to preview many types of files, including documents, spreadsheets, and images.
To open the file, double-click on the filename.
If the file has the extension .dmg, it is a disk image file (program to be installed) and will open the file installer dialog. You will likely need to enter your Administrator password to install the program.

Help? can you set a password for opening iTunes?

ok.
my brother goes to my iTunes account and steals my music.
not a good thing.
so i was wondering...
is there any way where i can set somewhat of a password so that you can only open iTunes when it's me?
does that make sense?
i'd appreciate your help very much.
thanks-

oh ok.
yep.
well he doesnt use iTunes or even an iPod.
he just likes burns CDs for himself off my library.
BUT it is posible to secure my whole iTunes or just
the store account?
Yes, putting a password on your Windows account will prevent your brother from accessing your iTunes music at all. It will prevent him from accessing your documents or other files as well.
This assumes that your iTunes music is in its normal location in Windows, that is, in your "My Music" folder.
If securing your computer from your brother (or anyone else) is important to you, I suggest you learn how to use Windows security. There are many books and articles that can help you learn to do this.
