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.

    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:

  • Mouse failing to open folders and files with double click.

    Mouse suddenly decided not to open anything with double click. It will highlight with single click but will not open files. Could I have a broken mouse? Could a virus be causing this? I have checked the mouse settings under System preferences and made sure my pc-using children have not set the mouse to second-click status. Any ideas?

    Check back in system preferences > mouse > Double-click speed.  Move the slider to the slower end of the scale.

  • MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

    I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac).  For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always.  I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

  • How do I make safari open a pdf file with acrobat x instead of reader

    I would like a pdf file from a link in Safari to open the linked file with adobe acrobat x rather than either adobe reader of the safari version.  Where can I set the preference to get this done?

    Aha!  The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat.  This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list. 
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37:  nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37.  This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder. 
    Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218:  nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50. 
    As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat.  Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current.  Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying  upgrades or newer versions.

  • 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.

  • Hidden folders and files with random character filenames

    You could try media info to see if that tells you any different - be sure to decline the stupid addons included
    https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

    Recently I noticed several hidden folders with random character names and each of those folders has 5 files in them with randomly named files. These are tiff, png, bmp, and docx files. I copied the folder to virtual machine removed from the network to inspect them, but they can not be opened as it says files appears damaged or corrupt. They appear to be benign as I ran two full system virus scans (including malwarebytes), but really bothers me how they got there in the first place. The owner says local administrators. They were found on the root of the C: drive and in documents, pictures, music, and video of the user profile. I attached a picture to help understand what they look. They are different than other examples I have seen when I attempted to google my answer. Thanks in advance!

  • Slow remote opening of folders and files on just one computer on network

    I have a network of four computers:
    1) G4 Cube, 450 MHz, OS 10.4.11
    2) G4 Mini, 1.5 GHz, OS 10.4.11
    3) G5 Tower, 1.8 GHz, OS 10.5.8
    4) G4 Cube, 450 MHz, OS 10.4.11
    It is almost always very slow to open a folder or file on computer 1 from any of the other computers, or to open a folder or file on computers 2-4 from computer 1. There is no such problem between computer 4 and computers 2 and 3. When opening folders and files on computer 1 from computer 1 the performance seems to be ok.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be the source of the problem and what I might to do improve the situation?

    With my taking any action, my folders and files no longer appear under documents (under Places). Now a folder titled Documents has appeared on my desktop with all my files and folders. What happened?What happened?

    The way I moved from 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 was to use "ditto -rsrc" and copy the user homes and the data share to an external firewire drive. Then did the same in reverse.
    I found the key to data and share permissions to make sure that the users had the same UID in Leopard that they had in Panther.
    You can then use "sudo rm -rf" to remove any folder from the relocated homes that you want. Remember if you do choose to remove "~/Library" from each users relocated home, you will be removing any iCal calendars, login.keychains, browser bookmarks, custom screensavers and wallpapers, etc.
    Users don't really care if they can login and do any work. But there will be much wailing, gnashing of the teeth, and anxiety, if they lose their bookmarks and wallpaper.

  • I can't open D7200 NEF file with Photoshop CS6. I checked the updates and there are no updates available. What do I do?

    Hi,
    I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
    Nitin

    For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

  • I need to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password,   can anybody help me and show me how to do that

    Hello,  I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password,   can anybody show me how to do that

    Hi surez,
    To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
    In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Help! Lost original folders and files and trying to update website with new information

    I lost the original folders and files for my website. I have new files to upload to the site but when I synch, the website still shows the original files. How do I get rid of the old and replace with the updated website files?

    1.  Are you sure that you are uploading to the proper folder on the remote site?
         (have to ask as some people don't realise that the files need to go into a specific folder as specified by their host).
    2.  Could it be a cache issue with the ISP,  Sometiimes it take a while for new files to display if the old ones are still being cached at the ISP level.
