How do I set a default Finder to include the Tabs I want?

When I reboot, or even when I click Command+N for a new Finder window, I have to set up my Tabs again.  How can I set a default?

Command-N calls up a new window or tab, it doesn't call up old windows and tabs.
Better: Instead of closing your Finder window when you know you'll want it back again, minimize it to the Dock (command-M) to move it out of the way.
To get your Finder back after shut down or restart, go to System Preferences > General and uncheck the box, 'Close windows when quitting an application.' Also, after you select Shut Down... or Restart..., make sure that the box, 'Reopen windows when logging back in' is checked...

  • How can I set a default finder list view column size?

    Hi,
    I am having a bit of an issue here.
    I like to use the list view in finder.
    I want to set the name column to a certain size globally, so that all folders display the name at the same width.
    However, currently I resize the column in the folder I'm working in, change folder and return to the original folder and the size has returned to the defaults.
    Any suggestions would be very welcome.

    Hold down the Option key and drag the vertical column right or left as needed.
    Close that Finder window then open a new one. See if that worked.
    It's working for me in Mountain Lion v10.8.4

  • How do i set up my macbook pro for the software i want to use

    how do i customize the building of my mac?  i want to add the software that i want?

    Most of the factory software-installation options have been dropped recently. This is probably because almost everything that Apple used to offer to preinstall for you can now be obtained very quickly and easily through the App Store.

    I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    How can I set a default placeholder text language instead of having to set the language every time I use placeholder text?

    The placeholder text is based on the current language setting. So if the language under the cursor is Hebrew, you'll get Hebrew.

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Can I set a default finder window style?

    I would like to set a default Finder window style that will affect all windows, new and old. I am able to set my default style to list, but I want to go beyond that. I want my windows to be lists, with only certain columns visible, I want the columns to be set to specific widths, and I want the windows to open as if the green button in the corner had been pressed.
    In Windows it is fairly easy to set a default Explorer window style with this level of setting. Can I do it on my Mac? Some setting I am missing, or some third party program?
    Thanks!

    Just two of many that you shouldn't be worried about. These will reveal everything I know about them:
    ls -al /dev/
    ls -al /dev/fd/
    I haven't a clue why running this is hanging up on your machine:
    sudo find / -name ".DS_Store"  -exec rm {} \;
    As for why you're you're still having issues after setting up the initial folder, I haven't a clue, since it worked here when I had an issue with it.

    how do I set font default in aperture?
    Do you want to change the size of the fonts or the shape for the fonts in the user interface or in the products (books, webpages)?
    Aperture does not allow to change the fonts used in the graphical user interface, neither the size nor the shape. To change the fonts for the products (books, etc.), pick a theme with the fonts you like.
