Documents tab in finder opens 'terminal' rather than my document folders

Hi,
I was hoping to get some help!
When I open my finder and select the Documents tab, instead of showing all my folders it opens something called 'terminal'.
Also when I select the Desktop tab it opens iPhoto.
I've tried right clicking on the tabs and selecting 'get info' and changing the 'open with' but I can't seem to select how it was originally.
A few weeks ago I was using an external hard drive to back everything up, since then I've had this problem.
Hope you can help!
Thanks!

Hi @Shootist007
I knew PNG files were image files, that why i was confused when I saved them onto my Mac they were showing as Documents under file type. But i managed to do via Preview (opened it up in Preview then click and dragged to my document).
Thanks for your help

  • When right clicking to open link in new window (not tab) foxfire immediately switches windows rather than opening new window in background

    Just updated to foxfire 15.0, and now each time I open a link in a new window foxfire will switch immediately to that newly opened window rather than opening the new window in the background as it did before I updated to 15.0. I am aware of the option to check or uncheck switching to new tabs immediately, but I am speaking of opening a link in a new window, not tab. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • When you download a file and choose "open with" rather than "save as", what temporary folder is the file saved to?

    When I downloaded an important document, I accidentally chose "open with" rather than "save as" and I'm unable to re download the file to save it from the internet. I know its somewhere on my computer, but I can't find it! What temporary folder are the "open with" files saved to?
    Thanks,

  • I have a file where I store my download music. When I click on "add music" to my ipod my music file opens, but rather than have to drag one song at a time to my ipod, how do I copy the entire file at once to my ipod. - steve

    Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

    I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes.  I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format.  However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there.  I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC.  I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files. 
    Thanks for your help, Mel

  • How can I get Firefix to open another tab with a new topic rather than overlay onto the same page I'm working on?

  • 3.6.4 now opens new tabs to the far right, rather than next to the current tab. why the change, and can I change it back?

    When I right-click a link to open the context menu, and then select the menu item "open in new tab", the new tab is to the far right of my opened tabs in this window. In 3.6.3, the new tab would be next to my current tab. This seems like an arbitrary change. Is there a setting whereby I can get the old behavior?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to 3.6.4

    Set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • I want to open bookmarked pages in a new tab, like it used to, rather than having it replace the current page in the current tab. Ho do I do this?

    In earlier verisions of Firefox, when I opened bookmarked pages, they opened in a new tab. Now, in version 6.0.1, when I open a bookmark, it opens in the current tab and replaces the page I am reading. I want the bookmarks to open in a new tab just like links open in a new tab. How do I do that?

    Middle-click the bookmark with the mouse scroll wheel to open the link in a new tab.

  • Why does MacBook Pro quit open applications, rather than sleep with Cinema Screen connected?

    With my  Apple Cinema Screen connected, my MacBook Pro has recently started getting into a muddle with the sleep command. 
    The problem is apparent when awaking from sleep mode.  Sometimes, only some of the open apps have been quit (Safari, Calendar, Word etc). At other times, all the open apps and the whole user account has been closed. On those occasions, re-opening the user account becomes a lengthy process, often requiring the user's name and password to be entered twice, (with two different non standrad wallpaper backgrounds)  before restoring everything to the condition prevailing before sleep was invoked.
    Interestingly, the MacBook Pro works perfectly if used without the Cinema Screen attached. It fires up and sleeps and reawakes with everything in tact, as it should.
    Disconnecting the cinema screenwhile the MacBook Pro is asleep creates the above scenario upon awakening.
    Similarly, if the MacBook Pro has been used without the cinema screen, is put to sleep and while asleep, the cinema screen connected, the above symptoms plaque the re-awakening process as described above.
    I think but am not 100% sure, that these probelms after the recent Mountian Lion update was applied (OS X 10.8.3).
    Genius Bar folk (Harlequin Centre - Watford) have not heard of the issue.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you in anticipation of a solution from a bright spark somewhere!

  • How can I make Firefox default browser for links in Earthlink emails? I have already verified that Firefox is my default browser, but clicking on links usually opens IE rather than Firefox.

    Basically I have verified that Firefox is my default browser and it works great. Earthlink is my default email program. About 70% of the time when I click on a link in an Earthlink email it opens with Firefox, but the other 30% of the time it opens with IE, which I don't want to happen. Is there any way to fix this?

  • Additional tab will not open for links

    previously i have been able to click on a link, and the link would open in a new window or tab. but now whenever i try to open a link through a website, it will not open the link in a new window or new tab. how can i fix this?

    Hi ArletteGH, I'm not sure which one of these is the better description of your issue:
    If you Ctrl+click or middle-click a link:
    * Firefox creates a new tab, loads the link in that tab, but the tab stays in the background rather than being made active (default behavior)
    * Firefox creates a new tab, but doesn't actually fetch the page until you make the tab active
    * Firefox creates a new tab, but the tab and address bar stay blank, as though the address never got transferred to the page
    Are any of those close to describing your problem?

  • New window in Safari puts page behind rather than in front. Why?

    Recently when clicking on a link taking me to a new window the window puts itself at the bottom of the pile of open windows rather than on the top. Is there a way to re-set this? Thanks,

    Thanks but I would have to use command>option>click in order to get that effect. I went back to reproduce the action from an email link and the new window came up in front. I'm going to test various links to sites from within Safari and via emails and will report back. Thanks for your time.

  • Messages - Is there any way to resend texts automatically when you don't have signal, rather than having to constantly manually 'try again'?

    When i have no signal and send a text, a red circle appears, prompting me to manually resend the text when i find signal. I live in an area with varied signal so this is beginning to get frustrating. Is there any way to set the iphone so it will automatically resend the text when it finds signal again, rather than having to manually resend it everytime? Thanks

  • How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

    For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
    I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

    You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

    At this time that feature is not available. If you are trying to view Javadoc and Code at the same time you can try a split pane view that places both documents side-by-side.
