How do I stop Finder-Tabs from closing after ShutDown / Restart???

Hi,
After opening several Tabs in Finder, I find they have closed after I´ve shut down & then (Later), restart my Mac Mini.
The Safari tabs stay open.
Cant find anything in `Finder Preferences´ or in `System Preferences´.
I tried Deleting:
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.finder.savedState
(Thanks to Carolyn Samit, but not a permanent fix)
And also copied & pasted to Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool true
(Thanks to Miska for tip, but not a permanent fix)
These two actions worked for two Shut Downs / Restarts.
But I have just started up my Mac Mini after turning it off last night, and ALL the Finder-Tabs I left open are gone again!!!
(Just the main Finder window is open!).
Of course, I have "Reopen all windows after Shut Down / Restart" checked.
(The Safari Tabs stay open!).
Anyone know how to get round this, and how to keep the Finder-Tabs open after Shut Down / Restart???
Thanks for all suggestions!
AMI.

Hi Carolyn,
My Settings were already set as you described above!
Thanks anyway.
Strange thing is, I´ve just Logged In and all my Tabs are there again!!!
One day here one day not - Somethings not right! - Lets see how it goes over the next couple of days!
Again, Thanks! For all your comments & suggestions.
AMI.

How can I stop a JFrame from closing when clicking the close button.

I need to display a dialog when a user attempts to close my app, giving them the option to close, minimize or cancel. How can I stop the form from closing after the user makes his selection? I have the folllowing code, but my form still closes after selecting an option:
private void formWindowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
        //An array of Strings to be used a buttons in a JOptionDialog
        String[] options = {"Close", "Minimize", "Cancel"};
        //Determines what the user wants to do
        int result = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, "What to you want to do? Close the application, minimize or cancel?", "Please select an option...", 0, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, options, options[0]);
       //Determines what to do, depending on the user's choice
        if (result == 0) {
            //Close the application
            System.exit(0);
        } else if (result == 1) {
            //Minimize the application
            this.setState(Frame.ICONIFIED);
    }Any help would be much appreciated!

          //the next line makes the JFrame not close
          setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE );
          //now add a listener that does the trick
          addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {

How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

See these articles for some suggestions:

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

How do I stop new tabs from opening - all I want is one window that I can click back and forth on the page history

I do not want multiple windows or multiple tabs. In older Firefox versions just one window could be set, using the page history to go backwards or forwards. How do you disable new tabs or new windows from automatically opening in firefox 7?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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).

How can I stop Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

Edit>Preferences
Under Page Display:
Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.

How to stop Dreamweaver Tabs from moving after restart?

Hello.
I am a PHP developer, and I find that tabs in Dreamweaver 8
are very useful. Right now I have about 30 files, mostly PHP, some
HTML and CSS open in tabs.
I love the ability to move the tabs around all the time, as I
see fit.
However, one of the wost things I find about Dreamweaver 8
is, once you close it and start it next time, and tabs are all
jumbled up in the order they were opened, rather than in the order
they were left at.
Is there any way to prevent this jumbling up of tabs?
Thanks.

Those tabs represent the documents you have open currently.
As you open a
new document, it gets a new tab. You cannot move them, nor
can you preserve
them from one session to the next, other than by opening the
same documents
again in the same order (you can do this automatically with

General > Reopen Documents on startup.

How do I stop random tabs from opening on their own?

ok, every time I open firefox it opens my usual tabs and everything's fine. But after a while for no reason at all it'll just open a random tab so some random website relevant to what I'm looking at or searching at the time. For example I was looking up how to make a visual arts portfolio, and it randomly opened a site that I could buy portfolio covers from. Overall it's just extremely annoying.
I've done several things to try and remedy the problem such as uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, using various addons such as addblock plus, BlockSite, NoScript, an AVG toolbar, as well as running various virus and malware scans using Malware Bytes, AVG, Spybot S&D, Avast, and Combo Fix. So far nothing has worked, obviously. So now I'm down to the point of frustration, because I can't figure out what the problem is, and neither can my computer geek friends. Help would be really appreciated.

This issue can be caused by Facebook Toolbar 1.7.3 extension

When restoring a session with many tabs, how do I stop the tabs from reloading even when I am offline?

In version 4, when restoring a previous session with many tabs (about 80) in offline mode with no internet connection, the tabs will realise there is no connection and will not load. In version 5, the tabs will constantly try to reload no matter how long the internet connection is not active and as soon as I connect to the internet, all the tabs try to load and will cause huge RAM usage and I have to shut down the browser. I want version 5 to be like 3 and 4 and not try reload all the tabs once it has detected no connection.

Hello there, lalaysa.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for unlinking your old phone number from your device:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Teaching Myself Python. How Can I Stop The Program From Closing :)

I wrote a program today that will log into a router here at work and check if the line protocols are up and if i can see thir mac address. If i run it from the IDLE program it works fine. When i run it as just crosnet.py it runs fine but closes before i can see the output. I imagine there is some simple line that will have run and just sit? Or even better, loop back to the beginning and wait for me to give it a new number to then telnet with.
#import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib
HOST = "111.111.111.111"
password = "password"
vpc = raw_input("Enter The VPC Number: ")
#password = getpass.getpass()
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
#tn.read_until("login: ")
#tn.write(user + "\n")
#if password:
tn.read_until("Password: ")
tn.write(password + "\n")
#tn.write("sh int atm6/0.vpc\n")
tn.write("sh int atm6/0." + str(vpc) + "\n")
tn.write("sh arp | in " + str(vpc) + "\n")
#tn.write("exit\n")
print tn.read_all()
Sorry the code is bad, dont know python and i was shown a outline of how to telnet and adjusted it to my needs.

while True:
and just indent everything else under it
Ends when you press ^C.
if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
if not vpc:
break
which will break out of the while loop and end your program.
