Opening dock folders...

Back on 10.5, all of my clients except me would open their shared drives (mounted on the dock) in a new window when clicked on. Mine would always come up in the Fan view.
Now, on 10.6, everyone opens up in the Fan view. This applies to my server admin folder as well. Also, if I change it to Grid, it still opens in Fan next time I log in.
Where do I go to change this to Grid by default and/or to simply have them open as a new window? I'd prefer my server folder to open as Grid all the time and the shared drives to open in Finder as a new window.

Yeah! Come on Apple, the stack and grid view look pretty but are not half as useful as a finder window. Give us an option in the contextual menu to open in finder by default. Anyone wants to turn the behavior off in the terminal here is how:

  • Open dock folders always in finder

    Hi,
    I want to open my personal dock folders always in Finder. To do this now I have to right click the icon folder and then select "open folder". Can I do this with a single left click? As it was in Tiger...

    Hello,
    You can do CMD+Left Click, which will open the folder in a window (bit easier than right click > move to the correct option > left click).

  • Can I open dock folders in tabs instead of new windows?

    Hey, guys!
    I'm using OX 10.9 and in Finder Preferences I have "open folders in new tab instead of new window" box checked. However, when I click on "open in FInder" in a folder I have in my Dock, such as Dwonloads or Documents, it pops up in a new Finder window. In other words, I'm looking for the TotalFinder behaviour without using the app. Any help?
    Thank you all!

    Hi, John, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
    Does anyone here know of a way to open new windows without using command click in a tab?
    If you want links on a web page to open in a new tab, you need to command-click on them. This will work both for links set up to open in the same window and those set up to open in a new window. There is no setting in Preferences to make links on a web page automatically open in a new tab.
    There is a preference setting to open links from other programs, such as Mail, in a new tab. In Safari's Preferences, click on the General icon. Towards the bottom where it says "Open links from applications", check "in a new tab in the current window".

  • Opening dock folders in finder

    I prefer the Tiger dock feature by which if I click on a folder in the dock it immediately opens it in a finder window. In Leopard (which I have just installed) I am required to go through a dialogue before I can do so. Is there anyway of reverting to the Tiger method?

  • Finder sidebar, standard dock folders (Applications, Documents and Downloads) and home folder in English (Lion and also Snow Leopard)!

    A few days before I downloaded Lion, the names of the finder sidebar, the standard dock folders and my home folder changed from German to English. What can I do to change back to German?

    Well I am surprised by your answer. I thought that if you had used it, maybe something of the settings was left behind after uninstalling it.
    I do not think it will solve your issue, but try it, you will never know....

  • Users could not open Public Folders in Outlook 2007 SP3.

     
    Is anybody had this issue or probably know how to fix it?
    We have Exchange 2013 server and users workstations with XP SP3 and Office 2007 SP3 installed. Exchange has users’ mailboxes and public folders. Public folders work OK until last week. Issue probably happened after latest CU update for Exchange 2013 installation.
    Now users could not open Public Folders in their Outlook. The error is:
    "Cannot expand the folder. Your profile is not configured. (/o=First Organization/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=[email protected])"
    And this "[email protected]" is public folder ContentMailboxGuid.
    And this error message appears when user click on Public Folders \All Public Folders in Outlook. So company public folders do not even appear in All Public Folders folder. Users have Owner permissions for all Public Folders and Root Public folders.
    Also one more error in Outlook about it:
    “Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.”
    One more issue is that previous Exchange 2007 server died (RAID died) so we had to delete it from AD and clean its records in ADSIEdit (CN=configuration,DC=.domainname,DC=.COM > CN=Services > CN=Microsoft Exchange > CN=Organization > CN= Administrative
    Groups > CN=(Groupname) > CN=Servers >) and install new server with Exchange 2013, and import all users mailboxes from backup. Public folders were not migrated from the old server because of its death. We create new public folders in Exchange and
    then manually import all folders from latest .pst backup using user Outlook.
     And it work OK more than a month till last week.
    Thanks,
    Andrey

    Hi Mavis,
    Thank you for your answer.
    I check permissions couple of times for both public folder and its root and both are granted for users as “Owner” and applied to public folder and its subfolders.
    This server has 2 mailbox stores and both are currently mounted.
    [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailboxDatabase -Status |fl name,mounted
    Name    : Mailbox Database 2104233799
    Mounted : True
    Name    : MBDB1
    Mounted : True
    But when I check homeMDB property for Microsoft System Attendant in ADSIEdit I found that it is empty.
    And it looks like System Attendant mailbox & service have been removed from Exchange 2013.
    http://howexchangeworks.com/2013/05/cannot-open-microsoft-system-attendant-mailbox-error-during-exchange-2013-mailbox-move.html
    and even from Exchange 2010.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2009/10/06/say-so-long-to-the-system-attendant-mailbox.aspx
    Also I check arbitration mailboxes and all are looks to be in default database “Mailbox Database 2104233799” which is currently mounted.

  • Quit all open dock applications at once?

    Is there a way to quit all open dock applications at once? I find it time-consuming to go in and quit applications I have used in the dock one at a time.
    May be I don't understand why they even stay open after I quit what I was doing with them? Is it possible to set it up that way? I find it is not very Mac-like
    to have to go in and quit 5 or 6 items in the dock one at a time. Can you please shed some light on this for me? Thank you for your time and patience.

    No, but there is an alternative.
    Press command+tab to show the application switcher. While keeping the command key held down, you can press q on a selected application to quit it. The only one you can't quit is the Finder (as this is the application that shows you your Desktop).

  • I can't open the folders within my bookmarks.

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1043044 /questions/1043044]''
    I am unable to open any folders within my bookmarks. When I click on the Bookmarks and I scroll over a folder to open it, nothing happens. The number of URLs within any given folder range from 3-30.

    Hi s77f,
    Please take not of how to recover your profile after making any changes while troubleshooting this issue.
    *[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    If you import the bookmarks to a new profile, does this happen as well?
    [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]] and [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
    Or, to make sure it is not hardware acceleration, some preferences or addons:
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

  • Why does double clicking not open desktop folders?

    After installing OpenOffice, my Mac Mini suddenly lost the ability to open desktop folders by double clicking.
    Open Office does not have a de-installer that I can locate.
    Please advise.
    Thank you!

    You may have to log out and back into your account, or restart the computer, for the system to work correctly after a software installation; at times one could also try other things in what may be an exercise in futility just in case something comes from any frustration and accidentally helps resolve any issue that may be in hiding...
    The 'safe boot' and 'repair disk permissions' and other antics sometimes will work to scare the gremlins out of a testy Mac. Or, perhaps it really is as simple as the man says. Adjust the mouse/trackpad in system preference? Could be the settings changed and it may be trying to interpret your clicks too fast.
    I'd not tried 'open office' but some time ago did try the NeoOffice version and it was OK. Then again, so was old AppleWorks back in the day; unless you require some kind of need to parrot MS Office regularly.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why won't Finder open some folders in List view?

    I cannot open some folders in Finder when it's in List View. For example, I have an external drive divided into 3 volumes: Ext A, Ext B, and Ext C. B & C open fine when I double click: A will not open at all, although sometimes Finder will open a blank window. If I click on the volumes in the Finder sidebar I get the same results. BUT if I switch to Column View it opens OK. Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my folder? (All volumes above have identical permissions.)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I ran the disk verify utility and all the volumes checked out OK. It has also happened with one folder of the internal hard drive. I ended up copying all the data from that folder and putting into a new (re-named) folder, and deleting the original. The new folder was accessible OK.
    It must be something to do with that one folder??

  • Cannot open any folders within thunderbird or send unsent messages after computer (ubuntu) closed suddenly whilst using programme

    I use ubuntu. The computer ran out of battery power and closed whilst I was using thunderbird. On restarting thunderbird later, I found that I could not open any folders or send any unsent messages. When I close the programme, I cannot restart it because it says thunderbird is already open, but if I use killall -9 thunderbird I am told there are no thunderbird processes running. I've checked my profile and there is no lock file or parentlock file. Someone suggest deleting the global messages database, but this hasn't helped at all.
    If I am slow responding to any questions, please be patient, tonight is my last night with a decentinternet connection - before returning to my rural African home, where we get download speeds of 15kb/s on a good day.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Do you run some sort of anti-virus software on the Ubuntu computer?
    Do you have a backup of your profile folder? If not, now is a good time to create one.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile
    There might be some sort of corruption in connection with your Inbox folder.
    Try to rebuild the index file within Thunderbird:
    Right click on Inbox in Thunderbird, select Properties, and then press the Rebuild Index button.

  • TA21041 I can not open some folders and get not have permission to open the folder

    I can not open some folders and recieve the message: you do not have permission to open this folder. how I can solve it?

    Select that folder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself read access under Sharing & Permissions. This shouldn't be done on folders in system directories.

  • I can't open some folders anymore

    Hi everyone
    Since some couple of months, i can't open some folders on my macbook air and pro anymore. when I try to open some folders, than every icon disappears, and I am at the some place I was before. The folders exist, because when I try to open some files from the search bar, it works, but I can search the files into the folder!
    Did anyone have a similar problem?
    tx

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process (Finder). For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Segmentation Fault - Can't open any folders

    I have a new MB Air (late 2010) running OSX 10.6.6. Everything has been great until yesterday.
    As of yesterday I can not open any folders/Finder. I can run applications though. When I try to open folders on my desktop (Mac HD), Trash, Finder, etc. all I get is the screen flashes and then nothing happens.
    I can't think of anything that I've downloaded/installed lately that would be an issue. Last thing I downloaded was Dropbox and Echofon Lite from Mac Store but I've used them both for the last 2 weeks and didn't have any problems.
    I've investigated a little and found the following logs:
    Mar 19 13:49:52 jason-newmans-computer-2 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[117] (com.apple.Finder[853]): Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault

    Any suggestions? Thx.

    +I had to log in via "Root" user in order to find that file and trash it because I couldn't open Finder via those accounts.+
    I missed that. You could have done it without logging in as root, but that's OK.
    +What made this happen? Anything I did?+
    No way of knowing. Application preference files get corrupted sometimes, and then the application will crash or behave unexpectedly. That goes for any application, not just the Finder.
