Options for Go - Recent folders in Finder

Is there a way of setting the default value to zero, or disable the Recent Folders menu under the Go menu in Finder?
Richard

Clarification -- is there a way of automatically making no folders appear in the Recent Folders menu, so that I don't have to hit Clear Menu - i.e. clearing the menu happens automatically. It's not a big deal really, but I just wondered.
Thanks,

HOW TO DELETE FILES or FOLDERS or Assets from Adobe Creative Cloud Brouser/Web Portal By: Kai Buskirk rev:130626
Adobe now burried deleting or trashing unwanted iteams files or folders in the Archive section of your creative cloud brouser/web portal.
Note!! - No longeer is there a standard TrashCan icon or simple Delete button... its burried in the archive sector: but why i ask?
An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located.[1] Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social activities.
In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings
A person who works in archives is called an archivist. The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science. The physical place of storage is sometimes referred to as an archive repository.
To delete files folders or individual assests in the current incarnation of adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal rev:130626
1 - Check mark the box on left and select files or folders you would like Deleted/Trashed and move them to the ARCHIVE folder location inside your adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal....Then navigate to the ARCHIVE SECTION
2 - Once the files or folders you have check marked are moved to the ARCHIVE folder location you can select them for Permanant Deletion (Trash)
ps: you can also restore them......if you so choose....
3 - in case you missed this step after selecting/checking the files or folders in the ARCHIVE folder there is a small Triangle Selector drop down that will reviel the Permanently Delete option.... clicking that is the point of no return i think..... so do not be misled my the use of the term ARCHIVE.... DELETING PERMANANTLY IS DELETING YO!
4 - OK DONE NOW YOU GOT IT .....
Good Luck Happy House Cleaning.....
Wamest Blessings,

Finder View Options, For All Sub Folders

If I understand how View Options work in Finder windows ...
I can set View Options for a particular folder to always open up in a particular View Options setting.
I can set that very same View Option as the Default View Option for all the rest of the folders I open up.
But, what I would like to do is set the View Options for a folder and all it's sub folders to be the same. Without changing the default View Option for the rest of the folder I open up.
For example.
I like to have my Documents open up in List View.
I like to have my Photos open up in Icon View. (along with certain Icon View Option settings)
Is there a way to do this?
Can I set the directory and all sub folders/directories for all my photos to open up the way I would like them? Without having to change the way all my Document folders/directories open up?
Because the way it seems to work now, is that every time I create a new folder in my Photos directory/folder, I have to manually set the View Options, since the default is List View and not Icon view. If I change the default to Icon View, then any new folder/directory in my Documents will then open up in Icon View.

If the folder is not set to open in a specific view, it should open in the same view as the containing folder. When using mixed views, you need to open the folder in another window to get the view it previously had.
In your example, setting Documents to always open in list view and Photos to always open in Icon view should have any new sub folders open in the same view. If any existing sub folders have a different view, you will need to manually change the view, since the Finder will (usually) keep track of the view any particular folder has.

Can someone help me? How do I change the option to pick where or what program I want to open a file after I've downloaded it? I tried to look for an option for this and can't find it anywhere.

For example I download a file and I click on it and there will sometimes be a window that opens saying what program I want to open the file with? And then it'll also have a check box saying if I want to use this program for all files I download. I can't change it when I download the file because that one file I keep downloading keeps crashing my Firefox and I have to force quit. It's really getting on my nerves. It's an online statement I'm trying to view and I want to get rid of that problem!! Is there anyway to change that option without going to that download page?

I would recommend going into device manager on your PC and making sure that you have correctly installed the IR dongle. Also what version of hotsync manager are you currently using?

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.

10.6.6 - How to set custom view options for specific folders

How is it that Windows has had the ability to ability to set custom folder view options forever and OSX can't. What is the big deal? Just do it. Whenever I set the folder view options it changes the view for all the folders. I can do folder specific changes as long as the finder window is open then I close it and open it again every folder is the same again. It's just an annoyance and it's something so rudimentary it's embarrassing.

Try the following:
I want to have, say, one folder in list view
Open that folder, set it to list view, type command-J, and in the view-options window that opens, check the box at the top for "Always open in list view".
then the subfolder of that folder I want to have in cover flow view. permanently.
Open that folder, change it to cover-flow view, and in the view-options window check the box at the top for "Always open in cover-flow."
Those two folders should "remember" the custom views that were set for them.
There's additional discussion about the meaning of the"Use as defaults" button in this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13063792
My own take is that folders that have not been customized by checking the "Always open in xxx view" box will by default open in the same view (icon vs list vs column, etc) that was in effect for the previously opened folder. *Within each view*, you can set the default parameters (text size, etc) for a new folder by setting up a folder the way you like and then checking the view options box for "Use as defaults" at the bottom.

Some questions about view options for single folders

hi,
I'm trying to customize the finder a little, but I'm running into some troubles. It seems that finder is not capable of saving view options for single folders, is it? What I mean is: For example I want my standard view to be "column view, sorted by name". But one specific folder I want to open in "list view, sorted by date modified". I can't get finder to do it.
In View Options, there is a checkbox "Always open in XXX view". But it only seems to work if I cmd-click that folder so it opens in a new finder window, but not if I stay in the same window, which is really annoying.
With file-sorting, it seems as soon as I chose "sort files by date modified" finder does this for ALL folders, not only the one I'm currently in (regardless of whether I use View -> Arrange By or View -> View Options -> Arrange By)
Ideas? I can't believe that those basic features are actually lacking in finder.
thanks!

well, I think I see what the problem is.
I usually use column view. In column view it is enough to single-click on a folder to open it. When you do that, a new column with that folder opens. When I double-click on a folder on the other hand, it behaves the way I want it to be (opens in the view I set for it). So it seems like I will have double-click every folder in order to behave it the way I want (annoying as well, but I guess there is no other solution).
Btw, if I create a new folder on my desktop and change it's default view it works, because clicking on a folder on the desktop is pretty much the same as opening it in a new window.
Thanks for your help though. If you have any idea if you can make the folders behave the right way by single-clicking than please let me know
edit: ok, seems I was wrong. it worked for the desktop-folder, but doesn't seem to work for any other folder (it DOES work when cmd-double-clicking it though). strange.

After the recent update, my documents moved from Finder to Word. When I moved the folders to Finder, I am unable to attach a file to an e-mail. Any Suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Finder Recent Folders

Just started making the most out of my computer this week by using terminal. I was wondering if there was a way (prefrences or terminal) to eliminate Finder's (menubar>) Go> Recent Folders option.

System Preferences > General > Number of recent items: set to none.
You might have to go back to Finder > Go Recent Folder and select clear list.

Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.

and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature. It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there. How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

Hi Amanda ,
Which version of Acrobat are you using?
Which signature style are you talking about?
You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.
Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
You can refer to the following link to re install it .
