In Finder I lost ability to open folders and disks without Control key

MBPro Lion. Can I remove plist in Pref Finder?

Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart.(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Opens folders and files without double-clicking

I have a MB Air.
I can't click normally files or folders in Bridge without it opening them. With folders it's pretty ok, but with images that I wanna preview before editing, it's a pain. I have managed to go around it with two-finger click that puts the image in the preview panel along with the options, but I really didn't need to do this a while ago. Was there a new, very bad update or what is this?
I have googled my way to nowhere and both PS and Bridge preferences show me nothing.

No updates to Bridge CC in a while, and I run 10.10.2.
If it just started happening, and this behavior is not happening in the Finder or even using quicklook, perhaps the Bridge Preferences should be reset.
Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

TS1722 Have lost ability to open Boot Camp on start up or restart. Only Mac icon shows up. Worked perfectly for two years and now it implodes. Any hope of re-opening Boot Camp?of recapturing data in

Have lost ability to open Boot Camp on start or restart. Icon does not show up. Had been working for 2 years, then nothing. Recently had problems with Kodak Easy Share in PC partition. Any connection? Any hope of reopening Boogt Camp without losing data already there?

Can you see there is a partition?
Can you boot Windows 7 DVD?
Did you think you would never need a backup image?
So no Safe Boot, no F8, possible?
Paragon CampTune
Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions. During testing it was available free, but now costs US$19.95. MR user Rodus reports that it damaged their OS X partiton and a reinstall was required, so heed the warning and have a backup.
Paragon Partition Manager
From the makes of CampTune is a commercial tool that is similar in functionality to GParted Live, but has a more polished/friendly user interface than GParted Live. Previously only the US$79.95 Professional version supported all the features required for this, but as of version 11 the US$39.95 Personal version has also been reported to work. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
Securing Dual-System Configuration
Imaging is still the most affordable and robust way to secure computer data. Unfortunately Mac OS X backs up only HFS+ volumes, leaving Windows with dual-system configurations unsecured. You can permanently lose all of your data unless you have a Windows-compatible backup solution.
Paragon’s CampTune and Paragon’s Drive Copy for Mac can secure the entire dual-system configuration. CampTune creates traditional images of volumes or entire hard disks, Drive Copy can copy them to other disks. In case of an emergency, you can restore the previously created image or copy all your data back to its original state.
Winclone/Disk Utility
Winclone is a free tool for creating and restoring backup images of your Windows partition. One of its key features is that it can restore to a larger partition than the one the image was created from.
NOTE: Winclone has been discontinued, but for now remains available and capable of completing these tasks (including creating and restoring Windows 7 images).
Winclone updated to support Lion Winclone updates and download
Disk Utility can resize HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions, but is currently incapable of resizing NTFS partitions, so you could use it to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition and create a new larger placeholder MS-DOS (FAT) partition
The full process would be:
Backup Windows partition with Winclone.
(if the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one make sure you set the preferences in Winclone to save the image as an uncompressed dmg)
Delete old Windows partition
Resize current Mac Partition
Create new Windows partition as MS-DOS (FAT) in free space after Mac OS partition.
(If the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one an additional step is required: shrink the filesystem on the image by selecting Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) Filesystem)
Reboot your computer for the new Windows partition to mount properly (winclone may not restore if you don't reboot)
Restore Winclone partition over new Windows partition
An alternate Winclone based process is described in the External Guides section

I've just upgraded to V5.0 and now I have lost ability to 'open in new tab'

I've just upgraded to V5.0 and now I have lost ability to 'open in new tab' whats happening?

Thanks but I've reinstalled V4 until V5 is stable and more or less working the way I want to work - not the way some programmer thinks I should want to work.
You know change is OK but only if it makes things better for the user Change shouldn't be made to make the developer feel good about his/her expertise. For me V4 was Good. V5 gives me too many issues to deal with - I just need a relatively simple browser (and I guess I'm not the only 1 out there that feels like this).

Lightroom 5.6 lost several days of editing and organizing without apparent reason..

All of a sudden, exclamation marks appeared on a great number of thumbnails of a batch of photo's that I have been working on for a couple of weeks. I can see that the reason for this, is that LR thinks they're in a different location: it forgot that I already created subfolders within the folder I'm working in. For the record: I did create these folders in LR. I never make changes to my folders and pictures without LR. (The photo's are not gone, they are still on an external HDD, in folders and subfolders as I have created them in LR.)
Worst part is, obviously, that once LR retrieves these photo's, all editing is gone. It simply 'forgot' a week of editing and organizing.
I use a Macbook Pro, Time Machine and I always have LR make back-ups when it asks me once a week. What happened? Could this be the corruption of the most recent catalog? Is there any way to retrieve this work?
I do hope that someone out there has been through the same ordeal AND was then able to save all the hard work anyway...

Like Ssprengel I'm not sure exactly how Time Machine works as I'm not a Mac user either but this does more and more sound like you've opened an older Catalog to me.
If it's not down to opening a Backup one then it does sound possibly like a Dropbox synch issue. I stopped putting anything other than temporary (and small) LR Catalogs in the Dropbox folder due to this very problem. Sometimes it just doesn't synch and comes up with an older file, though in my experience unless the file wasn't saved at all it does re-appear, usually with the name with a suffix that says something like "Conflicted copy". Are you actually using the Catalog on more than one computer during the time that this has occurred? If not then the Dropbox synch problem seems less likely to me (but not impossible).
Do you have a backup from the day you did the work to compare the one with the missing edits against?

What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi? I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks! That is a very good question you post. My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at. My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions! But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!

Lost ability to open pdf files in Safari and Flash Player upgrade is not recognized.

Since two days ago, when I responded to a Zynga game instruction on Face Book to upgrade to the newest version of Flash Player, I lost the ability to open the game but more importantly I can't open pdf files any more either. All pdf files in Safari open as jibberish BUT they still work correctly in Firefox and Preview. Please help.

Are plug-ins enabled?
Safari > Preferences > Security
Web content:
Put a check mark in the box next to "Enable plug-ins"
Best.

Lost ability to open new tab after tonight's update

I'm using Firefox 19, it got updated automatically tonight, and I've lost the + sign that allows me open a new tab. If I restart with add-ons disable, it returns but if I disable (in normal mode) add-ons individually to isolate the add-on causing the problem, the + doesn't return, even with all add-ons disabled. I'm sick of having to re-download FF every time there's an update.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I updated firefox to version 11 and lost all my bookmark folders and bookmarks, how do I restore them using timemachine?

I am using Mac OS X Lion. I use Firefox for my research and have numerous bookmarks organized in folders. All the bookmarks disappeared after I upgraded to version 11. I have tried looking for my profile as suggested in the forums and help documents but I cannot find it. I have Time Machine Backups of my entire system. Could someone please tell me which folders and/or files to restore to get my bookmarks back?

Which files (settings) do you want to restore?
Did you find the Firefox Profile Folder in the Time Machine?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder and see the currently used location:

Bookmarks scroll gets stuck on open folders and doesnt let you continue scrolling down to other folders and options

Whenever I click the Bookmarks tab in the menu bar up top to select one of my saved bookmarks, when scrolling down over folders to get to the link I want, the mouse catches over a folder (opening it) and doesnt let you continue scrolling down to other items under the opened folder - It gets stuck. The only way to get out of the opened folder is to scroll back up to get rid of it and scroll quickly down again in order to get the link I want below the folders without opening them.

Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

When I am running Firefox I am unable to open folders and files with Windows Explorer (Windows 7). This is so frustrating and all attempts to fix have been unsuccesful

There is a clash with Windows 7 and Firefox that prevents one opening files and folders.

Hi Dollie,
I am wondering whether you want to upload multiple documents into SharePoint library once.
If yes, you can try to use Drag and drop feature in SharePoint 2013 to upload multiple documents into SharePoint library.
More information about Drag and drop feature, you can refer to:
http://www.sharepointanalysthq.com/2012/12/drag-and-drop-in-sharepoint-2013/

Wendy

Opening folders and files with enter/return instead of clicking

in finder i've found that i can open any folder/file with command-o. however, not all apps support that and sometimes i really need the way to open the file/folder with return key or enter one. and it's impossible)) so i have to take my mouse and click. any possible solution to make this "windowsy" behaviour here, on the mac?

In most all situations, when opening a file, you can use Command+Down Arrow to open it. Also, if you are in finder, you can use Command+Up Arrow to go up to the parent folder.

Lost a ton of folders and pictures while using elements 12?

I restarted Windows 7 while elements 12 was open and now almost half of my pictures folders and their contents are gone. Not on the hard drive or in the recycle bin. I got to get them back.

Is it likely they have been moved somewhere else in your profile? Have you tried doing a search using Windows explorer?
To delete 25 folders requires a lot of time which you must know since you are not a novice. Also, when you restart a Windows system, you always get a prompt to shut all open programs and save any unsaved work. This is how Windows work. If the system crashed then your photos should still be there because the crash normally happens in seconds/micro-seconds.
Sorry I don't know what else to suggest. Have you tried Windows Forums on Microsoft website?
