How to Change Finder Settings in All Windows?

Hi All,
Similar to the original post found here:  Re: How to Change View Options for ALL Finder Windows?
I'm trying to change my finder settings across all finder windows... I tried the solution posted in the above thread but get this message in terminal.  I'm not all that computer savvy when it comes to terminal so not sure what it means... Perhaps someone knows of a different and/or better solution?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks and take care!
Dave

Yup got it back after waiting, followed the remaining directions, but didn't work for me... not sure why?  Upon rebooting folders do not change after I readjust settings and click 'use as default'.... strange... I even tried that other line of code another person posted later on in the previous thread.

  • How to make finder to open all windows in one?

    Hi,
    As you all know, in the Finder, if you open any folder, it opens that folder in a new finder window. I'm very tidy and have many files in many others in many others in many others,,, at the end of the day, I'm stuck with like 10 finder windows to close one by one. I wanted to know how I could set my finder to open everything in the same window, please advise.
    Thank you so much in advance.

    You can also use the Option key productively.
    While in Finder...
    If you hold the Option key down while clicking the Close button for a Finder window (such as a folder's window), all Finder windows will be closed. This works within most programs, too.
    If you hold down the Option key while opening a folder that's nested inside another folder, the enclosing folder will be closed as the one clicked on is opened. This is a handy way to keep things neat as you step down into a hierarchical nest of folders.
    If you are in Program A and hold down the Option key while clicking in a window for Program B, you will switch to Program B and all windows for Program A will be hidden. This works with Finder, too, whether Finder is Program A or Program B in that sequence.
    If you hold down Option-Command while clicking in the window of another program, all windows for all other running programs will be closed. Exception - although this will also close Finder windows, it won't blank the Desktop.

  • I can not longer send email from my .me email. in outlook 2010 on my PC. I can still recieve emails fine. I have not changed my settings at all. I have however tried all the settings i can find on the support pages. PLEASE HELP

    I can still receive icloud ( ME email address) emails fine. I have not changed my settings at all. I have however tried all the settings I can find on the support pages. PLEASE HELP. Nothing has changed. This suddenly just started happening around a month ago. To frustrate me apple does not seem to have a support email or any method to contact them with this issue to do with their email product. I have spent ages going through the apple support sites and I keep getting asked for an apple product to mark it against. I have no apple product as I am using a PC but I am accessing and using their email product. Is there even a phone number I can call? Surely there is a support area for their Email server issues. Can anyone help? It is driving me mad and causing me major issues. My outlook is Outlook 2010 on a windows 8 PC. As I have said it worked fine then one day decided to stop sending emails.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How we can find out the running window application ?

    hi all,
    how can i find out the running windows application through my java program?
    if anyone know any methods or classes please inform me soon...........
    one way to ask is "how one can trap the running window's application through java code"?
    Please do inform, if you have any valuable guidelines to achieve this
    Thanks in advance

    I pretty sure this isn't possible. You could write something which uses JNI to call native methods, but you'd have to have methods avaliable to call. So suppose you wanted a process on a Windows machine to read the text in an instance of IE's address text box you'd first need a way to do this with Windows specific code. And I can't think how you'd do that - unless you are directly interacting with the OS. So I'm afraid there is no easy way to do this in Java, and even the very difficult way with JNI may not even be possible.

  • HT201359 how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?

    how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?

    If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases - the most recent purchase is above the list. I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions (I don't have any so I can't check).
    If you can't find the charges and you haven't added or changed your card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I have an Iphone 4s from my work. Until 2 days ago, my iphone would notify me when I got an email or text. Now it does not notify me at all and some times it does not ring at all either. I have not changed any settings at all.

    My iphone just randomly stopped notifying me when I got an email, text or voicemail. Sometimes it will not even ring. I confirmed that the volume is turned on and I have not changed any settings at all. My software is up to date. In my job I need to know when I get an email without having to constantly activate the screen or open the email icon.
    Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem?

    First, is the Mute switch activated?
    Mute switch is above the volume buttons on the left side of iPhone.
    If you see red/orange color the the mute is ON.
    Also check Settings > Sounds > for New mail, Text Tone, etc.. have sound entries?
    If that's not the case try
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • How to Change Security Settings on an Existing Wireless Network

    I'd like to change existing network security settings to WPA2, AES or at least to from TKIP to AES.
    I'm familiar with browser access to the router and with how to change the settings on the router.
    My question is how to do this as painlessly as possible for the network.  Step by step would be nice
    I guess first I have to change the router settings using the computer running Easy Link Advisor?
    Do I then have to disconnect/reconnect that computer?
    Do I have to disconnect every other computer and then connect each one again with the updated settings?
    Will the change in security settings affect my print server?  If so, do I have to set it up from scratch in ELA?
    For the record, I have a WRT-300N and the print server is a 54g.
    Anyone who reads this may also want to look into recent news.  May not be a big deal, but a vulnerability of WPA/TKIP has been identified.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Do I really need to set security for my wireless connection. I searched for available WiFi in my area prior to installing my  network and none were available. Does that matter?
    The network never did function right from the start. My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 510n and is not wireless capable? So when I tried to add my HP mni 1000 it did not let me access the Internet.
    So now I have an unsecured network. Am I vulnerable to attack?
    Which leads me to my real question How do I change the security settings?
    Oh yeah, my home computer crashed due to a program I downloaded, so I do not have access to it. i'm a mess....
    Thanks,for any help

  • My question is how can i find and redownload all my older apps ?

    HI,
    I have an Iphone 4, and bought mostly all of my Apps from my Iphone.
    I needed a certain App called Viber and tried to download it.
    I didn't work and it told me to download it from my computer (Macbook pro) Itunes,
    which i did, then i synched (my error) my iphone to my mac, then it erased all my apps from my iphone.
    My question is how can i find and redownload all my older apps ?
    Do i have to go find them manually and download them again?

    I'm guessing on the computer you connected to you were not logged into our account in iTunes and/or you never transferred your apps from your iPhone to your computer.
    Yes, you will need to download all of them again manually.
