How do I change the default folder that opens when uploading a file to the internet from my mac? (at the moment it automatically defaults to 'Downloads' folder)
For example...
I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.
I click on select file on the website
Finder opens and defaults to 'Downloads' folder (it happens with all wesbites)
How do I change this?

I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.
I click on select file on the website
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.

  • How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document?

    I'm not sure if this is the right neighborhood to post this question, but here goes. How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document icon. I've been without MSWord for a long while, so all my word processing docs have been written in TextEdit, the stock mini-word processor that comes with OSX. Now I have MSWord and I no longer need TextEdit. Even more importantly, I'd like Word to automatically open when I click on a doc created in TextEdit. Adding ".doc" at the end doesn't do it. It's still refers to TextEdit to open the document.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    John

    Select a document of that type in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, change the application under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

  • Can I change the defualt folder that opens when I press 'save' in answers?

    Hi
    like in the question above: can I change the default folder that opens when I press 'save' in answers?
    it shows the path but in order to see the content of the folder where I wanna save sth i need to navigate through folders to get to that destination folder
    can i change the set up so that by default directly the content of the folder displays where the report is saved?

    i had no problem draging jpg. and mp3 files into my iphones DCIM folder (the picture folder that opens

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

    I added apps by syncing with a Mac.  It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account.  How do I change this?  It only happens when I try to update apps

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    If they were purchased from your husbands account, then they will have to update using that account.

  • How do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?

    how do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?
    Right now my macbook pro requires an admin password before connecting to a new wifi network. In other words when a user that is not an admin tries to connect to a new wifi network the pop up displays indicating that it is locked and an admin password is required.
    Is there a way to remove this restriction so that a non admin can connect to wifi without the mac's admin password.

    You can enable / disable this option in System Preferences:
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab > Require administrator authorization to: Change networks

  • On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

    On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

    Click on the Hot Corners..  button and look at the four definitions.  In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop.  Set it to "-" to deactivate.

  • When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook.  Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

    When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook.  Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

    Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
    This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
    To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
    However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

    Paste this into Terminal and hit return. If this attachment is text, it should work. Not sure about jpegs.

    To reverse the setting, change the 1 to a 0.

  • When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.

    When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.  I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name.  WIERD???

    There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

    If the song is indicating a "Kind" of "Protected AAC," that is not a setting.  It is an indication that the file contains Digital Rights Management (DRM).  DRM cannot be removed through normal conversion processes.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.
