Finder cant remember last folder i visited

Since upgrading to Tiger 10.4, i have a problem with the finder i think!!
When i use file open,save or get picture for example in any of my applications, the finder window always reverts to my home ddocuments folder and not the last folder i was in, like it used to do.
Can anyone help
Thanks
Steve

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The Finder window should open to the last location you saved to in each application.
Try this first:
Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
If this does not fix it then navigate to /library/caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxxx.csstore. You may have more than one with different negative numbers. Delete all of these. Then, navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist and delete this file also.
Then log out and back in. Or restart. Let us know.

Finder Window Remembering Last Position?

Sometimes when i am working and in say Photoshop or Dreamweaver and i go to find an image from a folder i move through them until i find it.
A few moments later i might need to find something else in that folder.
Is there any way to make finder remember the last folder i was in, via maybe an app?
As sometimes the folder i need to get to is buried in multiple ones.
The only quickest way i can find is to put the folder i am working in into the places areas of the finder window.
I know from the drop down it lists recent places, but only remembers certain instances and not this one...

Remember last folder location lost with Mac Lion updates

Since Lion or Mountain Lion, we have had an annoying problem where the last folder location is not remembered in Illustrator. For example when updating links on multiple files, would like for the folder location to return to the last one used, but this would go to some folder 3 levels higher/

fixes this. But hoping someone else has another solution as having to buy that for each computer would get costly for somethng that used to work. Also the software seems to not have bneen updated in a long time, adn don't wnat a solution that won't last. Am on 10.8.2.

how about this Mike, the file opening dialog is handled by the OS, if it still does not remember, I could manually try to code it to stay in a folder.
select a couple of images before running, to test,
#target Illustrator
// script.name = relinkAllSelected_v2.jsx;
// script.description = relinks each selected placed images one at the time;
// script.required = select at least one linked image before running;
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 7/12/11; version 2 - 07/25/13
// script.elegant = false;
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
sel = idoc.selection;
if (sel.length>0)
          for (i=0 ; i<sel.length ; i++ )
                   if (sel[i].typename == "PlacedItem")
                            var iplaced = sel[i];
                            var ifile = iplaced.file;
                            var file = File.openDialog ("Select file to replace " + ifile.name);
                            if (file!=null) // skip if user Cancels
                                iplaced.file = file;
else
          alert("select at least one placed item before running");

Bridge does not remember last folder opened upon reboot of the OS

I recently re-installed Win 7 64 on a new HD, and after all the folderol of that operation (Windows updates, SP1 etc) Bridge does not seem to remember where it was when the computer is rebooted. When I open Bridge, all I get under Favorites/Folders is Desktop and Computer, under which I have to run down all the HD's, folders, subfolders again to find where I was last. It works correctly in XP but not Win7 64 Ultimate.
Am I missing something in the setup?

Yep.
Checked XP and it is unchecked there as well.
Thanks, Curt Y!

Muse no longer remembering last folder imported from

For some reason Muse is no longer remembering the last location I imported from on my computer.. so now every time I upload an asset into a site I have to start at the computer drives location and go from there.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

This is a known issue since the update to AIR 3.8. Refer to the following thread for more information on this - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5559130.

Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs

Using an old school PPC Mac, OSX 10.4.11. Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs. It only remembers the last page visited for searchable pdfs, but not for scanned. I have the box checked in "Preferences: Restore last view settings..." I cannot upgrade Reader on this system, or my OS, so I'm stuck using what I have for now. I have to read huge documents for my work, that will include hand written notes in the margin and other marks on the page. The documents are hundreds of pages long, so it's a bit frustrating that it can't remember the page number for this type.
Are there any fixes for this? Something else I can try?

I tried to find the download for 9.5.5, but my OS is not in the list. I'm on a non-intel PPC mac. I tried finding that version on the web, but most of the links lead me back to Adobe, where it doesn't seem to want to be found. It obviously exists somewhere, but Adobe isn't making it easy to access!

Is there a way to find all highlights made in the macbook ibooks library in the case that you cant remember the book in which the highlight was made?

Is there a way to find all highlights made in the MacBook iBooks library in the case that you cant remember the book in which the highlight was made?

Some things that might help:
1. Only the most recently used apps actually occupy memory (used to be the most recent 4, but may have changed in the latest iPhones). After 4 (or so), IOS writes them out of active memory, as it does for even the latest 4 if there's no activity for a long time. So the business of closing all the open apps, apart from the most recent ones doesn't make a difference. Tis article has a good explanation:
http://www.speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
2. There are settings about background app activity that might help:
- Settings, General, Background App Refresh controls which apps can update their data in the background
- Settings, Notifications controls which apps can tell you things, which they have to wake up to do.
- Settings, Privacy, Location Services controls which apps monitor your location - another activity that uses resources
Hope some of that helps

In your case your only solution is to restore it ( see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ) and you may need to force it into restore mode to do that. This will wipe everything off it and reset it as new, without the passcode. You can then redownload purchased content, buy unless you have a sync'd copy of your contacts and photo's they will be gone.

Using cookies to remember the last 2 links visited

Hey everyone,
I am trying to use learn JSP and cookie. I am making a webpage, and it is suppose to remembers the last 2 links selected from the website.
Basically, there are a few radio buttons. The user is to pick one, press submit. I am trying to write a cookie to "remember" that action so that the next time that user comes, there should be a link that says these are the last 2 pages visited.
Having not much JSP experience, I would like some assistance in building this kind of a website. It is very simple (Just a table with 2 columns - left for menu, right for navigation).
I was wondering if someone could help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please give me some code samples how can i do that.And what prevents you from searching the web ?

Remembering last Photo viewed in a folder

Hello
I am searching high and low and there is probably not a solution but is there a way that lightroom remembers the last photo viewed in a particular folder. For example i am sorting to a folder with say 8000 images for a project. But then I have to stop and work in another folder for something else. When going back to the folder with thee 8000 images it starts on the first one. Now I found a small workaround (I sort my images with name) but I tried to then sort to edit time highlight the the first image then and go back to sort by name and it seems to work but sometimes I do not remember if I seen all them or if I really stopped on that image. So thats why my question is there an option for Lightroom to remember the last image which was highlighted or worked on regardless how the pictures are sorted in the folder.
it would help a lot but as I see not to many threads about that I might be in a minority here

A number of people have requested this -- please see and vote on this topic in the official feedback forum: Lightroom: Remember last image selected in each folder. Meanwhile, the OddJobs plugin provides this functionality, and the Any Source plugin provides a "back" button that goes back to the previous source (folder, collection, etc.), selection, and filter settings (LR's back button just restores the source).

If I cant remember password, how do I find it out?

My little sister changed my password on my ipod touch and SHE CANT REMEMBER~! is there a way i can find it on itunes or something?

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter it, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
