Opening Folders

I use the Folders Location in Display for Elements 10 Organizer.  When I open a folder to see it's subfolders (hit "+"), it opens to show the subfolders but at the same time it takes me back up to the top of the list of folders.  I then have to scroll down through the folders to find the one I just opened.  Is there a fix so that I don't go back to top of the folders list?

No.

  • Can't Open Folders

    Using Leopard 10.5.2
    When I try to open a folder, any folder, including the hard drive, the ipod, folders on the desktop, etc. this happens:
    1st -- a window opens. In some cases I see the contents of the folder in it, but usually it looks completely empty.
    2nd -- after about 1 second the window disappears and everything on the desktop including the hard drive image also disappears.
    3rd -- after about 1 second everything on the desktop reappears, complete with the hard drive and other folders. They are all closed.
    Spotlight can find folders within folders, and files within folders. Applications can be opened from spotlight or the dock, but not from any folder, such as the applications folder. Some folders can be opened from Recent on the apple menu, but others can't.
    I spent a couple hours on the phone to Apple yesterday and they first had me create an account for a phantom user. Logged off as myself, and logged on as the phantom user, and did not have this problem with that account. New problem being: can't access any of my files, because they're all associated with the original user account.
    Next we did some complicated stuff to get access to my desktop folder from a new super-administrator account and moved my desktop into the "shared" folder. Went back to my account, and now everything that was on my desktop has disappeared and I still can't open any folders, so I can't get anything that was on the desktop for that account back.
    Next we reinstalled the system software using the install and archive option.
    This was also a giant step backwards, because it installed 10.5.1 and reset preferences etc back to the defaults but it did not affect the folder bug. So then I ran software update and installed 10.5.2 and now I'm up to about 10 hours of trying to make things work and have only succeeded in making things worse.

    Hi I exactly have the same problem . I remarked it noon on my G5, Leopard 10.5.2.
    I have 2 Internal Hard Drive.
    On the primary one, i have the same symptoms : i could not open folders. Everything stops and restarts. Sometimes it even happens after several clicks in teh lateral bar of the Finder
    On the Second internal Hard Drive everything is OK
    I thought about rights.. i launched some maintenance & cleanup scripts using ONYX, then reboot... it 's the same.
    It's so strange : i reinstalled Leopard from scratch two weeks ago >
    I launched backups with Time Machine + Capsule
    Recently i installed iLife.
    It seems, that after install of Leopard everything was ok.
    Recently, one of my update (iDVD) failed. And Safari.
    This problems come from my RAM i think :
    When i reinstalled Leopard, i should unplug all my upgraded non-Apple RAM.

  • Adobe CS5 programs have trouble opening folders on external hard drives under 10.10.2

    Just upgraded 2 mac's to 10.10.2. One is a late 2013 Mac Pro, the other is a lot-of-the line, BTO iMac 5K. (Processors and Ram are not an issue)
    Both InDesign and Illustrator (CS5) are having difficulty opening folders on external hard drives. Mac Pro is connected to a 5GB LaCie d2 via thunderbolt cable, while the 5K is connected to a 2TB WD my book studio for Mac via FW800 with an apple branded Thunderbolt adapter. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Using the File>open command then drilling down to the selected folder on the Hard Disk drive, the finder sits blank with the spinning beach ball going.
    Other local folders open up quickly and populate file lists with no problems.
    Some folders on the external drive can be accessed through the File>open finder dialogue however they are folders that contain fewer sub-folders and files.
    Update while typing this...
    Both Folders that were giving us problems contained a shortcut. Hiding that shortcut inside anouther local folder seems to have cleared up the trick. This is a short term work around and I am wondering if Apple is aware of this issue or if others have found the same problem as I have and if this work around fixes their issues?

    How long have you been running 10.9?
    In my case the external drives go to sleep and have to wake up. Not much to do with Mavericks, just hardware sleeping to save energy. Note that 10.9 is much more energy aware and may put things to sleep more often.  That may be a fair trade off

  • IMac Won't Allow Me To Install Applications Or Even Open Folders

    I have an iMac Intel Core Duo 2.33 GHz, with 2GB of Ram running 10.5.4.
    When I booted my Mac last week I noticed a brown area on my screen. After the machine booted I could only open the applications that were in my dock or do a search for them through Spotlight and start the application from there, since it took many clicks to get to my Applications directory to open after clicking GO in the menu bar.
    Even after the Applications directory opened (which took forever) I was unable to click on ANY of the applications and scrolling was extremely slow or not at all. I also had to Refresh the Finder just to get it to show up at the top of my screen or close the Application window.
    I took the machine in for repair and they replaced the screen and told me that not being able to open folders, go to the Application folder or ANY folder was a software issue and not a hardware issue. They recommended I remove EVERYTHING in my Startup Login Options when I got home and that would fix the problem, it did not - I removed all 4 applications in the startup and nothing changed.
    I rarely install applications, but I faithfully repair permissions at least daily and I have installed all of the latest updates Apple released in the last 2 weeks.
    Thing I have done so far
    1. Repaired Permissions
    2. Verified The Disk
    3. Reinstalled Leopard And All The Updates
    4. Run Most of the options built into Onyx, Maintenance and Mac Pilot, since I have them already installed.
    Nothing has made a difference, I am still unable to run anything in my applications directory, open ANY folder on my desktop or any other directory, drag an icon to my applications folder or drag a folder or icon on my desktop.
    The only things I can do is run what few applications I have in my Dock and search for Applications using Spotlight and run them from there. They come up quickly and run just fine once they come up.
    Any help or suggestions someone could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much for your time!
    Randy

    Repairing permission daily is a complete waste of time and will not help you. In fact, repairing the disk permissions needs to only be done about 2-3 times a year at best.
    You say you verified the disk but did you repair it? Did you get a message that the "disk appears to be o.k."? What kind of install did you do? My guess is you did an archive and install.
    Onyx is a troubleshooting tool and should not be used on a regular basis for anything. Caches do not need to be cleaned on a regular basis and everything else Onyx and similar utilities claim to do are handled by the system automatically. Do not use these utilities unless you are having a problem.
    My guess is you have a serious problem with file corruption.
    Have you tried creating a new account? Try that and see if the problem follows to the new account or not.

  • Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window

    Yes, yes, I've googled it already.  And bing-ed it just for fun too.
    This doesn't work:
    http://windowsxp.mvps.org/samewindow.htm
    Nor does this:
    http://blog.hansmelis.be/2009/05/17/windows-vista-explorer-opens-folders-in-a-new-window/
    Yes, yes, I've checked the Open in same folder option in folder options.
    I've used shellex to disable context menu items.
    I've rebooted a hundred times.
    This is rediculous.  Windows should only recognize ONE setting for this and that is the one in folder options.  Anything else that affects it is a BUG!
    I'm on build 7100 RC.
    And I'm quite frustrated with this.
    Please help!

    <<...tried to import the key from that known-good windows installation ...... (but
    was 64bits)...>>
    importing x64 keys to an x86 installation may not work.  HKLM\WOW6432Node\Classes\Interface would have to be combined with (overwrite)
    the standard location and then that be copied/imported to the x86 install.  Even then, there might be some unanticipated problems. 
    It's good that you had a registry backup available in system restore.  Although I like the inherent security and reliability in the Vista/Win7 system restore implementations, one thing that I miss was being able to pluck only the registry files from
    a restore point; like I used to do with WinXP.
    <<...Yes, my case is precisely (Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window) on
    Win7. ....>>
    Also, that is too general.  There is more nitty-gritty details that have to be verified, such as whether the issue is per-user,
    or whether the "Explore" option is in bold and works properly when manually selected.  In a lot of cases, that simply may not be in bold which means it's no longer the default action on double-click.  (requires different set of steps to resolve,
    focusing on another part of the registry)  But from what you've stated on JAVA update 20, there well could be some changes to the HKLM portion of that Interface key... don't know.  A before and after registry compare usually helps pin down the issue.
    EDIT 10y04m24d_130735:
     One other thing that occurs to me, is that the dreaded Yahoo toolbar often installs with Sun Microsystems's JAVA.  I've removed such toolbars on many browsers because they render IE8 unstable/unreliable with occasional to routine freezes/crashes.

  • Want to open folders in the SAME window

    I just did a clean install of Leopard, and now whenever I open a folder I get a new window! I doesn't matter what the status of the checkbox "Always open folders in a new window" is in the Finder preferences. I ALWAYS get a new window. Are there any preferences to delete, or other option to stop this?

    I need help on this also. I had the problem on 10.4 and hoped that it would go away with Leopard. It has not.
    I tried trashing the finder preferences in USER Library and restarting to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Opening folders in the same tab???

    I'm fairly new to Macs and I have a question. I currently run OS 10.5.3. I know that for security reasons (i.e. not accidentally deleting something) that when you open folders in Finder that the default setting is to open each folder in a different window, like below...
    Harddrive 1
    Music
    Nirvana
    Nevermind
    Songs
    Is there a way to change the options so that everything opens in one window? It's a real pain to have to X out of so many windows everytime I want to search for something - and please don't tell me to use the search feature lol. I know how to use that but I'm curious if I can override the each folder in a new window option, so that I can just have one window with either several tabs or so I can just hit the back arrow key, forward arrow keys so it looks more like....
    Harddrive 1 -> Music -> Nirvana -> Nevermind -> Songs
    For the record, I am the administrator of the computer. For the only other account on the computer (my girlfriends) it opens everything in one window where you can just click the back and forward arrows, like I'm hoping to be able to do. I know she didn't mess with any options either because she's not too computer savvy, so is that the default for non-administrators? I know I didn't set it that way.

    The back and forward arrows are to go to the last opened folder and the next.
    They function EXACTLY like the back and forward arrows in Safari.
    Finder can't do tabs.
    Try pathfinder, as the other poster recommended.

  • Opening folders in list view

    I just don´t remember how to open folders always in list view.
    Thank you.

    Open a Finder window, click on the List View icon in the toolbar. Select Show View Options from the Finder's View menu. Check the box at the top to "Always open in List View," set any other desired options, then click on the Make Default button at the bottom.
    You can change the default view mode for any select Finder window when it's open by pressing COMMAND-J and setting the desired view options.

  • Stupid Mac OS bug - Won't delete open folders in list view

    This took some time to figure out and might help someone else... If you want to delete a folder while in list view, you must first close it before it will be deleted.  In the example below, you can select folder "Test 1", Move to Trash and it will be deleted.  Try the same thing with "Test 2" and nothing happens.  No error messages but it won't be deleted.  You must first close the folder (by clicking on the triangle), select the folder,  Move to Trash, then it will be deleted.  If you select a group of folders, all of the selected folders must be closed or none of them will be deleted. This bug only affects deleting folders while using list view (that I'm aware of).  You can rename the folder, you can move the folder.  You just can't delete the folder.  Occurs with the Public share as well as any other shares you created. There is no problem deleting folders while in icon view or column view.  2TB My Cloud with firmware v04.01.04-422Mac OS 10.9.5WD disc mounted on desktop with smb://< IP Address >Logged on to WD disc with username & password.  Account has full access.  

    Just tried it (rename, move and deletion on open folders) on my mac mini running Yosemite 10.10.4 and no problems here. Tried on both local drive and on the Cloud mapped by AFP and SMB. It could be an open file or something that is preventing the folder from being deleted, or if you are trying this on the cloud, it could be a different samba version since I'm still on firmware 3.04 here on my cloud. Try it locally as well as trying other protocols like connect to server AFP://WMyCloud/<yourcloudname> or smb://WDMyCloud/<yourcloudname>   

  • Cannot open folders by double-clicking

    I have an iMac (running Tiger) at work which I have recently joined to the network. With my iMac at home I am able to do anything I like without restrictions. Not so at work. I have a separate user on my machine at work with administrator privileges. This user does not log on to the network. When I log onto the network (using AdmitMac and Active Directory) my user account does not appear listed in Users when I log on as administrator.
    The real problem I have however is that when I log on to the network, I cannot open folders in the finder by double-clicking. However, I can open them by user finder>file>open. Any ideas?
    I also downloaded from IBM the latest update to Lotus Notes as a .sit file. Double clicking on this does nothing, even with the administrator account. Has this anything to do with Tiger and Classic?

    Thanks for the "silly" tip...I changed the "double click speed" from medium to fast and nothing opened without going to "open"....seeing your message i tried moving the double click speed back to middle and the problem was instantly repaired...I just hate that the solutions can be soooo simple...thanks and remember...in computing...no idea is "silly"...LLLL

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 - many people are unable to open folders when logged into Eircom Webmail

  • Setting to open folders in new folders

    Upgraded from  SL to Mavricks. In SL, there was a preference to open folders in new folders instead of replacing the current open window. Did that go away as an option in Mavericks?

    open folders in new folders
    To open folders in new Window? Try Finder/Preferences/General - open folders in... Then control click the folder and you can open it in a new Window.

  • List View always opens folders at the BOTTOM of the list... Help!

    This is a very annoying little problem I've encountered. I have 2 folders in my dock - Applications and Downloads. I like to have my Downloads folder open as a List when I click on it, however it always opens the folder at the very bottom of the list. I have it sorted by Date Added so that the last thing I downloaded is at the top, however since the folder shows me the very bottom of the list when I open it, I have to constantly scroll all the way up to the top to find the last item I downloaded.
    Also, it doesn't matter how I sort the info, the problem persits (so if I set it to sort by Name, it opens at the bottom with the Z items and I have to scroll up to look through). But if I sort things any other way (Grid, Fan) it always opens at the top like it should. Both folders in my dock behave like this when set to List.
    Is there a way to fix List view so that it opens folders at the top of the list?

  • Opening folders with & without new window....

    I have just installed Tiger and updated it with 10.4.7.
    For both 10.4.6 and 10.4.7 I have been unable to get folders to open in the same window instead of a new one. I have tried checking the box under the Preferences of Finder but it makes no difference. Every folder always opens in a new window.
    What am I doing or not doing?
    Thanks.

    It still isn't doing what I want it to do.
    Let me be certain that you understand my question. I can get this to open a folder in the same window as the parent folder. But in order to get this, I need to have the tool bar on. What I am wanting to do is not have the tool bar visible but still have folders open in the same window. This is the way that I remember the previous OS working.
    Anyway, I was able to insert the parameter where you showed me, change it to Boolean, and set it to "No". It stays "No" even when I changed the window settings to hide the tool bar but still opens folders in new windows.
    My suspicions are that I either have corrupted SW or that this is something that is not possible under 10.4.X.

  • I want to open folders in new windows on 10.9.4.

    This was always my default setting, but it seems to have disappeared.  Apple is ******** in changing essential workflows that people have been using for years.  There should be 2 options, open in new window, or not.  Give us back the option Apple.

    http://siggi.hk/index.php?action=TheLostFinderNewWindow
    This is a SIMBL plugin that will bring back the old behaviour of always opening folders in new windows, a feature that existed since the first Mac OS in 1984 all the way up to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion before Apple stupidly removed it in OS X 10.9 Mavericks. This works a treat.
