how to clear menu Recent Folders under Go in Finder toolbar?
(no option as in subsequent OSX.)
While at this - how to add item (Utilities folder) to Go menu?
Is this what Favorites is intended for?
Tiger.10 is so much easier on both counts, but haven't learnt for this earlier OSX's finder.
Thanks in advance,

Use a tool such as the Property List Editor or TextWrangler to check that application's plist file.

How to clear the recent SAVE locations menu

When I save a new document, a menu of locations appears where I have recently saved other documents. How can I clear this menu? Clearing the Recent Items menu doesn't do it.
I must have inadvertently saved a file to my backup drive once, because the backup folder appears in the menu in addition to the one on my hard drive, and it's impossible to tell these folders apart at a glance — I have to follow the path back. If I inadvertently save a new doc to the backup, it gets wiped out when the automatic backup kicks in. So I need to clear this menu and start over.
(I listed my OS as Tiger, but I see it appears under the Snow Leopard discussion — don't know how to change this. Sorry.)

How to clear My recently viewed Documents to specific user in BO 4.0

Is their any way of clearing " My recently viewed Documents" in SAP BO 4.0 for specific user or list of users .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Archana,
I think you need to use a Cross Tab on your report but also you will need to apply Sections on the Fund Code dimension.
ie
Section 1 - ABC1
Crosstab
Section 2 - ABC2
Crosstab
Section 3 - ABC3
Crosstab

Recent folders in "GO" menu: how to increase the amount it remembers.

On my computer it remembers the last 10 folders I opened. Is there a way of increasing this that anybody knows of? Lets say 20.
Thanks.

Jim Thank you

Not really, I like to change the amount of folders it remembers under 'GO'. K Shaffer made the first reference to the settings being in System Preference> Appearance, but they are not. this are the settings for Apple Symbol>Appearance. Not the 'GO' pull down, 5 to the right from the Apple Symbol.
That makes sense now. But, if you open all the folders in say HD,
I did just now open 20 folders.
they will be listed in the Go tab>Recent Folders.
No only 10, and if I open 20 other ones it lists the last 10.
SO, although it isn't mentioned in Sys,Prefs. it does include Folders. I just tried it. That can as already mentioned, change up to 50.
all 3 settings in System Preference> Appearance for
-Applications
-Documents
-Servers
are set to 30 and this is what influences the settings in the Apple menu, there I see the last 30 -Applications -Documents-Servers. but nothing changes in the in the 'GO' menu>Recent Folders. Max there is still 10.
So my question is am I stupid? or are we not communicating? or is your OS deferent? I tried it in 10.4 and 10.5 and I can not find a setting that influences it.
Looking forward to solving this one.

Automatic clean of Recent Folders list in Finder's "Go" menu: how I did it

Hi everybody. I just would like to share with you the trick I have found to automatically clean the "Recent Folders" list in Finder's "Go" menu.
It costed me some work but eventually it worked.
I wanted it to run at shutdown. If it were executed at startup it would need an extra command (killall Finder) to work properly.
This is how I got it:
Open the terminal and do the followings:
cd /etc/
sudo nano rc.shutdown.local
insert your sudo password
into the nano editor write the following lines:
#!/bin/bash
cd /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/
defaults delete /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder FXRecentFolders
chown YourUserName:YourGroup com.apple.finder.plist
Close (ctrl+x) and save (y and return)
And now some explanations.
the first instruction (#!/bin/bash) is just needed if you have an empty or not-existing rc.shutdown.localfile otherwise it should be just there.
YourUserName is obviously the name of your user whose Finder's preference file you want to edit.
YourGroup is the group your user belongs to. Usually it is 'staff'.
the chown is needed because all this commands are executed by the script as root. So the "defaults delete" command changes the ownership of the com.apple.finder.plist to root:wheel, resulting in the loss of your Finder's preferences at reboot.
For the same reason the "defaults" command specify the exact path to the domain to be edited (without the .plist part as usual).
The rc.shutdown.local does not need to be set as executable. It works as it is created by nano but please remember to reboot twice after any change in order to see the effects.
I hope it could be clear enough and somehow useful.
Please feel free to add comment, questions or improvement suggestion.
Thanks
Bye

Alright I have windows 7 and I tried downloading the new iPhone software at least 8 times now and each time the download completes, but then promps me that the connection has timed out. I am certain that it is not my internet connection because I have used several different networks. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to change my internet options if that is the problem. I turned off all of my firewalls since I could not find a way to allow itunes to pass through the firewall even though it seems to be allowed. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Mini Bridge: how to clear recent files/folders?

Hi all,
I am a new user of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended and have a question about Mini Bridge. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and I'm using the 64-bit version of Photoshop.
My question is: how do I clear the Recent Files and Recent Folders lists from the navigation pane of Mini Bridge?
In Bridge itself I have set the 'number of recent items' to zero. I can't see any equivalent setting in Mini Bridge.
The reason for asking is that prior to purchasing and installing the Production Premium Suite, I demoed the Web Premium Suite, including Fireworks. Even though Fireworks is now uninstalled and I can find no reference to it in the Windows Registry, Fireworks has its own submenu of recent files in Mini Bridge. I can't figure out where this information is stored.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok, I just figured this out.
In Bridge (not Mini Bridge), it's the Reveal Recent toolbar icon, then "Clear Recent Files" and/or "Clear Recent Folders".
This is a bit counter-intuitive, considering that "number of recent items to display" in Bridge was already set to zero, but hey ho.
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else finds the thread and is curious.

How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu?

How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu? (ie. cache)

I don't have PSEv.13, but in my current version, and in the two that I had before, the behavior is/was identical.
As far as I know, the only way to purge an entry in the list of recently edited files via the File menu, is to delete the picture file or send it to the recycle bin.
Perhaps someone will come along with additional information.
"The File option dose not have an option for FILE-MORE-PURGE CACHE. as Adobe suggested."
Where is this referenced suggestion?? On-line? In a book or manual?

How to clear file history in Teststand "file" menu?
Thanks!

Hey Jacky,
I have found a Knowledgebase
that I believe describes what you are looking for. The registry
key may be different depending on which version of TestStand you are
using. The only thing that should change is the version
number. Have a good one!

Can someone please help me figure out how to "clear" recent email addresses used in Mail?

Can someone please help me figure out how to “clear” recent email addresses used in Mail? For example, as I begin typing a name/email address in the “To:” field, Mail begins suggesting addresses that I’ve previously used. I don’t want any suggestions unless they are in my contacts.
Another example: When using MS Outlook, it will also remember and suggest email accounts previously used, but I can arrow down and delete an account from the list so it won’t automatically popup or suggest in the future.
I appreciate any guidance in this matter.

The iOS email app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which cannot be turned off. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients which can't be prevented. There is no option to clear the list of previous recipients - not at the present time anyway.
If you don't want any suggestions, select from contacts instead when addressing an email.

How do I remove "Recent Items" Documents from the apple menu?

I've been searching for an answer to this question for the better part of 3 hours now. W
Several iterations of osx ago, there was the ability to separately limit how many recent items were shown for Applications, Documents and Servers. Over the years, I simply installed a newer version of osx on top, and surprisingly my recent items always eliminated the Documents from the list.
I've since done a clean install of mavericks after installing an SSD, and i've lost this small but important part of my work flow. No matter what I've tried to remove the documents from Recent Items, it always shows up. I can still boot into my old HDD (which is now installed as a supplementary drive and also updated and running mavericks 10.9.2), and see from clicking on the Apple Menu > Recent Items that it only displays Applications and Servers.
Try as hard as I can, I can't simply figure out how to remove the documents from the recent items menu. I've tried editing the com.apple.recentitems.plist file, to show 0 items for documnets, but this never seems to work. (I've since read that this file is simply rewritten on logout.) Strangely, if I go into the old setup System Preferences, Recent Items: it is showing as None. I also suspect that maybe I used Tinker Tools or some other utility to change some command line preference (using the gui) several years back. Not sure how I could investigate what would need to be done to compare files or otherwise figure out how to remove the documents section from the recent items menu.
It's starting to drive me crazy. Anyone?

The Apple menu is at the top left hand corner of your screen, click on it and about this Mac is the first choice.
Click twice on Version to get serial number.

How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
Thank you for helping.

George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
IMPORTANT:
Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
Good luck and enjoy.

How do you clear the recent history list (as this function was lost in one of the last app updates )?

Since this function was apparently lost in one of the last adobe reader app updates, how now are you supposed to clear the recent history, but retain the files on my nexus tablet?

Hello,
That explains why I am no longer able to clear the recent history list...
I understand that removing/deleting the files from my device will remove the files from my list. However this in not ideal for me, as I would like to be able to go back and look at the papers that I have previously read and then be able to clear the recent list. Also, if I can clear the list without removing the files from my device, I can keep track of what I have recently read, and move those files into a second folder on my device to say that I have read the papers at least once. That way I would still have the papers on my device but can clear the list and know that I have read the papers. Thus I really would like a way to clear your history from the recents list, ideally with the option of clearing individual files from the list, as well as a second option to clear all files from the recent list, while retaining the original files on the device.
Thanks and have a good day,
Trevor
