How do I open last folder?

I remember in earlier incarnations of the OS, I was able, I believe from the finder, to chose that I wanted to 'open last folder'. I can't find how to do that now, and when I want to open a particular folder, it goes back to a way earlier one, so I have to, each time, keep on selecting in the chain to get to the folder I was just in. So that's not very helpful. (Does that description help or confuse?)
Okay, I'll try an example: Example: Open Folder 1>then open Folder 2>then open Folder 3>then finally open file A, and then the next time I just want file A, the same thing happens and I am directed to Folder 1 again. Aggravating. This happens in all my apps, by the way.
Can anyone aid me with this?

Most apps have an Open Recent (TextEdit) or a listing of recently opened files (MS Word and Excel) under their File menu. Use that.

How do I open draft folder of my mail?

How do I open draft folder of my mail?

Tap on it. The same way that you open any folder in your email account. If you are asking how to create a draft folder .... Start typing an email and then tap Cancel at the top of the email window and you will be prompted to save or delete the draft. Tap Save Draft and then the draft folder will appear.
Now what are you really asking about? Will your draft folder not open?

How do I open a folder and update web page on different computer.

Hi All,
I started my iweb page on my powermac at work and have uploaded the pages online. I have saved the page to a folder and now want to work on the updates at home on my powerbook and can't seen to figure out how to open the folder. I've used QuickTime VR photos and the powermac at work is struggling and is sluggish so that's why I want to use my powerbook. In the file column I see "Publish to .Mac, All to.Mac, Folder but no open folder. Help
Thanks
Mark

in order to update a web page on a different computer you're going to have to move the entire site over to the other computer. to do so you need to move the "domain" file that iweb uses.
The “domain” file is hidden away in <home>/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
unless you've already moved it to another location on your hard drive.
there's more detailed info in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303045
once you update/change the page you want to update and publish, you'll have to move that domain file back to the other computer if you want to use the 'first' computer again to edit your site. if you just want to continue using the 'second' computer then you don't need to move the file back (obviously)
hope this helps.

How do I Open a Folder in a new window?

Hi All,
Before I moved to my new macbook pro running 10.10.1, I was able to open a folder in a new window by double clicking (mouse or track pad). Now I do it. Double clicking does nothing. I checked my preferences and there was nothing in there for this. I check help and the finder file menu in the help did not match the actual finder file menu. The menu option and speed keys listed in the help file menu was not there and the speed keys did not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Carolyn

How do I open a folder marked exec?

I am not very good at computer skills, being self taught, and a senior citizen. I created lists of family dates etc. in Pages. Now on cover flow several of these are grey with exec in the top right hand corner. I have tried to open these without success, using all the ways I can think of. Could anyone please tell me if there is something I can do to open them, or are they lost, and if so, why? Any help you can offer would be gratefully received.

There isn't an extension for "unix executable." The POSIX permissions have three modes for each of three types of access. One of those modes is Execute.
If the files do not have extensions, and the executable bit is set, then they are displayed in the Finder as executable files.
If they are pages files, rename them and add a .pages extension to the file.
I ignored the "folder" reference in your subject because you stated in the question they are actually Pages files.
If they are indeed folders, that changes things a bit.

How can I open grouped folder layers from the full version of Photoshop into my Photoshop Elements 10 verison?

I have gotten a PSD from a coworker who asked for some help. He has the Full version of Photoshop and I have the Elements 10 version. I cannot open the grouped folders into individual layers and manipulate the current design that needs work. How can I get more functionality out of Elements and ungroup these layers?

You could get elements+ which is a very cheap add on.

How do I open last years Tax Cut tax return completed in Windows on my MacBook?

You probably have to install TaxCut on your Mac. Contact TaxCut for support and ask them. These forums are for troubleshooting Apple products.

How do I open a folder in its own window?

All of a sudden my folders will not open in their own windows... Has anyone have this happen? Earlier I was fine then all of a sudden it stopped.

Cevsinc,
I don't know if this is what your looking for but here you go.
To make it so that when you double click a folder it opens in a new window you have to turn off or hide the toolbar. To do so:
Open a Finder window > Select "View" from the menubar > select "Hide Toolbar"
Keyboard shortcut to do the same as above is ( Command ) ( Option ) ( T )
Now every folder you double click on will open in a new window.
It should remember that you elected to not have the Toolbar show and every time you open a new window it will be the same.
To change back Do the same except instead of "Hide Toolbar" it will say "Show Toolbar"
Hope that helps,
Weston

How do I open a folder on my desktop and avoid getting the left hand column with devices shared, etc and the other column with my desktop lists?

I just want to see the contents of the folder not all the other columns!

Finder->View-Hide Sidebar (⌘⌥ S). Once set, ⌘J and select Use as Defaults. That'll ensure all newly opened windows have that setting.

Opening a folder location

Hello,
how do you opening a folder location using jsp/struts? not selecting a file.

I still don't understand. You haven't explained what "open" means. Pretend I'm your manager and I'm a computer illiterate. Now explain to me what's going to happen when this "opening" takes place.
You have to do this explanation because "opening a folder" doesn't correspond to anything that's normally done in web applications.

How do I open multiple history items and restore my last session from more than the last day

I see I can open 1 history item ant a time how can I open more than 1 if my browser crashed or was force quitted. Also is there a way to open previous items from before I day if I lunch safari and don't open my recent items using history.

From your Safari menu bar. Click History / Reopen all windows from last session.
If Safari is quitting unexpectedly, try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If that doesn't help, If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

If I open a folder in Finder list it hides the original list. How do I fix this?

If I open a drive in the Finder and (using the triangles) I can show folders, subfolders and files.
Business as usual.
But in Mavericks, if I open a folder from that list, it hides the list that I opened it from.
I used to be able to open a folder and have the original folders and files still there.
And the opened folder.
Now the original disappears and I have to press "back,"
I want both items open, like in 10.6
Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is the resume feature of Lion. The last state of the application is saved when quitting (i.e last pictures viewed in Preview, last videos viewed in Quicktime etc).
You can switch it off for Preview by copy and pasting the following in to the terminal application
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

How do I set Adobe Reader XI so that a saved pdf will be saved in the last folder saved?

When I save a group of PDF files, I want them all saved in the same folder. How do I configure so that each fille will be saved in the last folder that was used to save, rather than having to browse for the save folder each time?

I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

How to I get a folder to open up in Final Cut Pro version 6 thats off my desktop?

How do I get a folder to open up in Final Cut Pro version 6. I'm on a MAC OS X Version 10.6.8. The movie folders I imported on my desktop from a Lacie Rugged Triple external hard drive. When I try to import the folder a pop up comes up that says, "ERROR: No translatin templates matching the selected XML file were found. Unable to import this file." When I try and drag the folder into Final Cut a pop up comes up that reads "Please choose a translation document file". What should I do or what am I not doing?

YYou should ask this question on the Final Cut Studio forum.
