Finder default to account folder.

My left pane of choosing my destination in Finder is missing. Whenever I open Finder, it defaults to Connor (my username), and I must click on the Macintosh HD to restore the left pane, but it opens a completely new window. How can I restore the pane by just clicking on Finder?

thanks in advance.the only way I've found is to search the web for lists of default users and their passwords, then attempt to log on with said credentials. I'd start with Pete Finnigan's site (google is your friend). He may already have some scripts ready to go, or at least the lists you'd need to get started.

Mistakenly changed default of library folder via finder...

Couldn't think of better name for topic....
While looking for where .icc files are kept on my new macbook pro late 2013 which I love but must learn (searched and found supposed path for HP while I have a Canon) used Finder and from "home" folder used "change view" to show hidden library folder after all done i instead of clicking close button to close the window I mistakenly hit "use as default" on bottom of that window which allows you to make changes to folder view.
Is it system wide what I changed (the view of that folder)? Or since I was on "Home" folder in Finder would it only effect "Home" folder?
Know Windows 7 inside and out but learning on Macbook/Maverick 10.9.1 has been slow at best (as 6 days a week I am on BootCamp side using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit for use of software that hasn't updated yet for latest maverick.... yes I am looking at you General Motors) I searched and couldn't find a way to undo my actions. I prefer the Library folder hidden. As I can easily unhide it when needed. Once I learn the Mac folder heirchy I can set it up as I do Windows.
As a side note only found generic icc files for printer.
Normally with the drivers on Canon Pixma 7220 wireless the driver installation gives you ability to choose Canon papers which I use exclusively.
I may have to install a piece of Canon toy software I don't need in hopes on the mac installation it will be like windows in its installation of the paper profiles. My searches from both the community and google gave me dead ends. I need the profiles otherwise the prints won't match. I don't use photoshop/lightroom I am a Nikon user who loves Capture NX2 and ViewNX2 combination to work my .nef files. But even with jpegs the standard airprint dialogue boxes/windows doesn't give me choices of paper just ink levels, etc.. Nor does iPhoto which was first place i looked for that.
Thank you for any and all help in advance.

Creating a default User account for new users

Today I tried creating a default setting for and account that could be used for all new users. I did web searches after web serches and not luck. In the old systems it was simple, but Mavericks made it difficult. But after much hair pulling and putting several suggestions together it is just as simple as it was before.
Step 1 Create a new user account
Step 2 log on to that account and set it up totally, that means background picture, preferences, dock, everything
Step 3 click on the home incon in a finder window then go to Finder view select view options and at the bottom check show library
Step 4 go to HD>system library>user templates, you will need to select the file, Command I for info, unlock the lock, click + at bottom select your admin account, give youself read write permissions, go click on the folder you wish/need to change and get info and repeat the step above for each folder.
Step 5 replace the library folder and any other you wish to change with the one from the new account
Step 6 you can also place any documents on the desktop or document folder and replace them
Step 7 create a new user account and verify that the settings and dock are correct.
This takes about 5 minutes or so and is much easier for the non pro

I don't always understand how things can be different from one computer to the other running the same systems and following the same steps but I have 2 iMac's and the steps above for the desktop picture worked on one but not on the other, go figure. So as a fix the default picture was named Wave in the Desktop Picture folder so I changed the name of it to Wave1 and renamed the new photo Wave, did not change the alias in the CoreService folder, now the second computer creates and new user account with all my perferred settings and background picture.
As a recap of my orginal post by creating a default user account, setting up the preferences for finder, and setting up the dock, I simply replaced the preference folder in the User Template file and it works perfectly. Remember that you can do the same with the Document folder or the desktop if you want to place them for all new users.
Since I am not a professional computer person I do not feel comfortable using the terminal or scripting so this works very well for the common person to create a new user template.

I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file. I have run a number of searches and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps. The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members. I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer? Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install? Finally which operating system are you using?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

How do I change this?

You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.

Default entry for Folder property - Changed behavior in SP14???

Hello,
Has anyone run into changed behavior for this page property in SP14. It seems to be valid for pages in both folders and worksets.
Ex. We have a workset that sits at 2nd level nav just below a 1st level entry point. So the workset is a 2nd level nav choice. The top page in that workset is the landing page for that nav and previously in SP9 the nav worked fine. We are finding now that in SP14 we have to set the Default Entry for Folder property to "yes" to make the 2nd level nav work. This could be another config issue in our environments but is following SP14 so far. Has anyone else sen this?
Thanks,
Doug Steckel

Hi Daniel,
NavStructure:
... - Folder A
       - Page A <inv & defPage>
       - Page P1
       - Page P2
If you click on folder A, you get the content of page A which for the end-user is not explicitely visible in navigation. So page A "is" the content of folder A.
This is how web-like nav works, that you can click on a nav entry and that this entry has it's own content and not only the preset content of some sub entry.
Hope it helps to understand what I meant

Has anyone found a solution to the issue of default email account on iPhone continually changing?

I am seeing an irritating problem with the default mail account, calendar and contacts list on my iPhone 4.
Every so often (I think it happens randomly after syncing or even just connecting the iPhone to my iMac without syncing) I notice that some or all of my default email account, calendar and contacts list have changed away from my desired default (which is my Exchange account).
The iPhone is running iOS 4.3.5 (8L1) and I'm using iTunes 10.4.1 on my iMac.
I found this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1639451 dating back 2 years to the days of iOS 2.1 without any solution. Googling hasn't helped me find any answers yet.
I have 5 accounts set up on the iPhone - a MobileMe "Find my phone" account that's only used for that purpose, not email, a GMail account, a couple of vanilla IMAP accounts and my main, Exchange 2010-based account that I use for mail, contacts and calendar.
Most frequently after a change I find that the default email has switched to the GMail account, the calendar and contacts lists have switched to my iPhone and most of my Exchange account mail folders are empty and have to re-sync when I tap on them.
I know from Googling that other people have been seeing similar issues.
Has anyone found a workaround or solution?

Has no one found any solutions to this?
Or at least what causes it (so that it might be avoided)?
I find it difficult to believe this issue has existed so long in iOS without being addressed!

Preview images in Finder (default opened by Preview) gone

Since a couple of days the preview of images default opened by Preview are gone.
Preview of files/images that are default opened by other programs are still there.
I tried one of the answers in the (unanswered) topics where it was suggested to delete the com.apple.finder.plist file, but this doesn't help.
I think this change has occurred after I installed the "Panorama maker 4" program that came with a Nikon Coolpix camera. This program can "stitch" together a number of panoramically made shots, so it is made to meddle with JPEG files. Also the installation procedure is very un-Apple-like and un-OS X-like.
Of course removing this program does not help.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong, or how to recreate the preview?

You should be able to restore Preview as being the default to open JPG files by opening Finder then choosing a folder with JPG files in it. Select one of them and right click (Option + Click) and select "Open With" then select "Other". Navigate to the Preview Application and select it (click once), then click on the "Always Open With" checkbox (lower left of the dialog box) then click on the Open button.

HT1277 how do i specify the default mail account

how do i specify the default mail account if i have more than one accounts?
Not to worry i have found the setting, thanks
Message was edited by: Teli Proto

hmmm.. I've been complaining about this to the engineers for over a year. The storage location should be chooseable as should there also be a backup feature (as in Addressbook and iCal).
for those that want to change this... it would be cool for someone to write a non cryptic, complete 1,2,3 stepped procedure.
That is.. exactly what do you change to what in the mail user preference file? And what do you use to change it.. text edit? "[ ]" heretofor = folder
I would like to change my Mail storage location to the my [Documents] . Using Text Edit, I went into my user [Library], to [Preferences] and opened the com.apple.mail.plist and changed all the ~/Library/mail storage locations to ~/Documents/Mail
lastly I moved the [Mail] that was in the [Library] to my [Documents].
Didn't work. Restarting Mail got me into the guided set a new account (and as far as I can see there IS no way of not taking the guided set up as alledged above). There must be something, some built-in direction other than in the [Preferences] defaulting mail to be saved in the [Library] folder
If someone has done this and been successful.. a 1,2,3.. list would be apprecaited... and please don't leave any details out. Thanks

Where can i find the Media browser folder

Hi guys hey where can I find the media browser folder if I want to delete some FCPX videos to free up some space.

They are placed inside the project folder, in a folder called "Shared Items." The default location of the project folder is in your Movies folder, called "Final Cut Projects." On an external drive, the "Final Cut Projects" folder is at the top level.
The shared file will have a name that starts with the project name, and ends with whatever you shared it to. For example, "<projectname > - Mac and PC.mp4"
There will also be a file called ShareStatus.plist in that folder. It tracks all the instances of when you share the project. I will also control whether a little icon appears next to your project name in FCPX. Finally, if you delete an item that was shared and it still exists in that .plist file, you will see an exclamation point next to the shared icon; it is harmless but to get rid of that you need to delete the entry from the .plist file.
Hope this helps!

Can I enable simple finder for network accounts?

Can I enable simple finder for network accounts?

This was possible (drop dead easy) through MCX. It was one checkbox. If you are supporting older machines, you might still be able to push out MCX settings. My experience with 10.8.x is that MCX is inconsitent at best.
In Profile Manager... Best suggestion is to look at creating a custom profile. For what it is worth, this is the default MCX setting if the Simple Finder option was set on a user. Note the InterfaceLevel = Simple.
