Each window remain in the view it was last set to?

In Mac OS X, if I change the view of a window, from, say, list view to icon view, and then close the window and open another window that I always keep in list view, I notice that it too, has changed to icon view. This is annoying. Is there a way to set the preferences so that each window will remain in the view it was last set to rather than the view ANOTHER window was set to?

Some users (including me) reported problems like this* in version 10.7.0 and 10.7.1. There was a lot discussion of work-arounds on this forum and others. Most involved .DS_Store, and --as far as I know-- none of them worked very well. Ineffective and/or clumsy.
* I think the main two problems were 1. losing the view settings as you describe and, 2. when icon view was selected and icons arranged according to user's preference, those arrangements would also be lost. That was a serious problem to some people (including me) whose workflow depended heavily on icon arrangements.
Installing 10.7.2 seems to have fixed or significantly improved these for most users. I have not lost any icon arrangements since I installed 10.7.2. I _may_ have seen loss of view setting since then. Before 10.7.2, I noted that some folders seemed more susceptible to these issues than others. That may still be true. In any case, I think the majority of my folders now successfully preserve view settings through closing and re-opening.

Bought a new monitor.. wide screen 23"... Firefox is not filling the full window. IE works fine but I prefer Firefox. What do I need to do to fill entire window, not just the way it was with the old monitor?

Most pages are defined to be a certain size, regardless of how large or small your monitor is. You can use Firefox's zoom feature (View menu) to enlarge the text and images (or just the text, if you prefer) on a page.
In addition to making individual site adjustments, there are some add-ons that will default every site to a higher zoom level. For example, check out:

* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]
Does that help?

How do I remove the tempature readings on my calendar? They fill up each day crowding out the view of scheduled events for the most part.

Disable or remoce the Calendar, that is creating these events, Terry.
To find out, which calendar is creating these events, ctrl-click on one of the events and select "Get Info".
In the Info panel click the color icon in the upper right corner to find out the calendar, that created this event.
Then reveal the "Calendars" Sidebar (press the "Calendars" button in the toolbar) and select the Calendar, ctrl-click it and delete the calendar or disable it.

So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either.

So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either. I tried deleting documents in pages as well as the app and reinstalling it, but nothing has helped.

Try quitting Pages and then reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Opening a Numbers ss to the cells I was last working in, rather than A1

I just transferred a spreadsheet to Numbers from Excel. When I open it, it starts back at cell A:1 when I was last working in CU:15. Is there a way to "save" the spreadsheet so that it will open to the cells I was last working in? So far, I love using Numbers, but this is very inconvenient. Thanks.

CF,
When I Save a Numbers document with a cell Selected and then close the document, the same cell is still selected when I reopen the document. Isn't that what you are asking for? Furthermore, if I have chosen 100% zoom scale, the selected cell is displayed in the same screen position as when it was last saved. What you may be seeing that you don't care for is that if the zoom is other than 100% the table's position in the display window may be different than at the last Save.

You need to place the device in recovery mode.

Window not remembering the display it was on

Hi,
Dual Displays and Mavericks:
Before Maverick I would have certain applications like mail and the finder open on one monitor and other apps open on the other. Now with mavericks they do not remember which monitor they opened last on and stick there were I last left them. They always open open on the last display you clicked the desktop on. Any setting to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

I just came across a solution. I think this might work for you, even though it seems kludgy:
Your situation may vary, but I'm using a MacBook Pro with an external LCD monitor and want to use both displays, each with their own desktop space
Open Mission Control and add a desktop by moving your cursor to the top right of your display and clicking on the new window that appears from the right
You should now have 3 desktops at the top of your display when Mission Control is open
In my case, my laptop's display is Desktop 1 and my external display is Desktop 3
Now, on the dock, right click on an app you're trying to stick to a particular desktop and choose Options -> Assign to Desktop X where X is the display you want the app to stay on
In my case, I want Mail to always show up on my laptop screen, which is Desktop 1, so I choose Options -> Assign to Desktop 1. The reason I say this is kludgy is because I never use Desktop 2, but it has to exist in order for the Dock -> Options -> Assign To menu to appear. If I just have Desktop 1 and Desktop 2, that option does not exist when I right click on an app in the dock.
*UPDATE: It seems that once I perform the steps above, then close the third Desktop so my laptop is Desktop 1 and my external monitor is Desktop 2, mail will finally stick to Desktop 1 even though the option to assign Mail to a particular desktop disappears from Dock options when I right click the Mail icon. However, every time I open a new window, the sizing is off and the window is halfway off the screen. I have to maximize the app window every time I open it.

Launching Mac FF 3.6.6 by clicking a link in Mail causes FF to start with 2 windows: my normal starting window & the window evoked by the link that was clicked.

Clicked a link in Apple mail launches FF (Mac 3.6.6) with two windows: The window that I normally see when double-clicking FF, and a window evoked by the clicked link.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

2 iphones, registered to same apple account but the second phone was orginially set up on a different computer.Is there any way I can sync the second phone to the orginial computer so as to have both phones syncing the same?

Have two 4s's registered under the same apple account. The 1st phone was set up on the computer perfect. The second phone was set up by somebody who didn't know what they were doing and set this second phone up using the same apple id but onto a laptop. How do I know get the second phone to work from the computer and sync the two phones so they are the same?

Is there a way to see an access history for my ipad mini? dates and times when it was accessed? not particularly a safari history, just when the pin code was last put in?

Im worried that my ipad is being used without my knowledge, I am randomly losing whole conversations from my messages although they are still visible on my iphone. I wanted to see when my ipad was last accessed before i start accusing people of messing with it.

I'm not aware of any setting or app that will do what you are looking for, but it possible you might find something in the app store.
You should consider changing your pass code and possibly using complex rather than simple pass code. And keeping the device secure when not in your possession.

I need help contacting someone that can help me find who the previous owner was who set up my iphone 5s, there is an activation lock and i need to contact the owners. help??? i think the iphone was stolen and then sold to me

i think my iphone was stolen before being sold to me, i need help finding out who the original owner was to unlock the phone. any ideas on numbers i could ring? im super gutted

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

How do I find out what the Apple ID was to set up my iphone?

I reset my iPhone 4S and when I went to reset it up, it asks for my Apple ID that was used to set up the phone. I have 2 Apple ID's and have used both, changed passwords dozens of times and the phone still won't accept my apple ID's. It tells me with the Apple ID's are not correct or the passwords are not correct. It shows an Apple ID in the paragraph on the Activate iPhone page but that does not correspond (the number of dots and letters given) with anything I use. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Dotty

Lion OS - Word, webpages, and other apps return to the where I was last. How do I turn that off?

How do you turn off the function that returns you to the very last spot you were working on every application and Safari?

Alternately, cmd - option - q when quitting apps.
And go to system preferences > general > uncheck "re-open windows when logging back in".
