Problem: Finder opening in different location

Hello there,
I just recently bought my new MBP 13'' (currently running Mountain Lion) and here's my problem:
I have set Finder (in Finder's preferences) to open in the "Documents" folder whenever I open a new Finder window. This works great except that every time I shut down my computer or restart my computer and then hit Finder it will open in a different location rather than the "Documents" folder I told it to. If I close finder and then re-open it afterward it will open correctly on my "Documents" folder. Why is that? Is there a way to prevent Finder from switching the location I want it to open at?
Thanks in advance.

That option was/is on by default in early versions of Lion 10.7.x and even if you UnChecked it the next time you rebooted that option would again be checked. That changed in later releases of Lion and in Mt Lion where if it was Unchecked it stayed unchecked. This happened from all the complaints about that option as it was seen as a Bug.
But that is not what the OP is asking about.

I thought that reopen windows option was on by default, and so had to be actively deselected, but at my age my memory could be playing tricks on me. In any case, if you don't have it selected now, then there must be some other explanation.

Problem sending mail from different location

I cant send mail when connecting via a different server than my own network provider i.e. when connected wirelessly away from home office. Comes up with message:-
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.
The server response was: <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied
You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings.
If I change the outgoing smtp setting to the network provider that I am connected to then mail will send.
Can this problem be rectified?
Kind regards

Most, if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 or what is termed "relay access" per the error message.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
If the ntlworld SMTP server is not authenticated (even if authenticated there is no guarantee it will work depending on the restrictions imposed by the ISP used for connecting to the internet other than your own), you can try changing the server port from 25 to 587 but doing so is no guarantee either.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the ntlworld account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If ntlworld has an authenticated SMTP server and it doesn't work on Port 25 when connected to the internet via a different ISP or using Port 587 for the SMTP server doesn't work regardless if the SMTP server that is outside of the ISP's network is authenticated or not, your only other option is using the SMTP server provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
There is no other way to rectify this problem regardless the email client used or platform - OS X or Windows.

Find and replace Dreamweaver mx 2004 problem: not opening saved queries

Dreamweaver mx 2004 is not opening saved queries! I use find and replace often and uses to save code replacements to reuse
it. But now when I open the saved query I have 2 situations:
1) comes completely blank
2) or only shows truncated text or code in fields.
I opened the dwr file in text editor and seems to be fine, I mean information saved is there.
Tried recreating cache, or deleting caché, tried saving new or overwritting existant ones, tried saving into a completely different location,
tried in other site definition. Nothing seems to work...

A lot of my music is on an external Hard Drive, currently "H" drive. When I try to play a song in the Library in Itunes I get the message that it can't find the music. Info says it's in a different location "G" Drive. But it's not. it's in "H" Drive.

A lot of my music is on an external Hard Drive, currently "H" drive. When I try to play a song in the Library in Itunes I get the message that it can't find the music. Info says it's in a different location "G" Drive. But it's not. it's in "H" Drive. How do I tell it where to go?

What if you take this same topic of an external hard drive with music but instead of directly attached to the computer the music is on a Network Attached hard drive(NAS)? Will I be able to add music to my ipod without any problem? Step that up a notch, will the two computers on my network be able to recognize the music on the NAS? Will the two users be able to create their own playlists and update their ipods independently? Now step up that up one more notch, will I be able to do this with one PC running XP and my macbook with OS X?
Before I run out and buy a NAS I want to be certain. I also would like to convert my DVD library in the future and put it on the network available to an AppleTV or other UpNp media player in the future, because I love having power at my finger tips.

Cannot publish Excel workbook to Sharepoint 2010 : "You can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location"

I am trying to save an Excel 2010 file to a Sahrepoint 2010 document library but keep getting the error:
"You can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location"
Googling this suggests enabling "Desktop Experience" on the server which I have done. Excel Services Application is Started.
Has anyone come across this and been able to resolve successfully? I am wondering if this is more security related but the security set-up looks fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Sally, thanks for the response. Problem is the issue occurs with all users not just me.
On the server-side do you know if the full Office installation must exist for this to work?
The reason I think it may be security related in some way is that on another server we can access one site collection but not another. The first site collection shows the various libraries available and the other gives the same error: "You
can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location".
It's proving to be very frustrating!

Problems in Opening same jspx in different modes based on user selection

Hello,
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0
Following is my use case and problems with each of the solutions that I have tried so far.
1. Screen1 displays 4 af:tables. Right cilck of each table is a separate context sensitive menu.
2. Using context sensitive menu items, user should open ReplyScreen and ConfirmScreen. Each of these screens support different functinoality however,
they share quite a few common fields and functionality (variables).
3. User should be allowed to work with each of the screens simultaneously.
4. For simplicity, only 'Reply' and 'Confirm' modes are mentioned. However there are going to be 3 additional modes such as 'Correct', 'View' and 'Delete'.
From code maintenability perspective, each of the 'Mode' specific screens should be a result of a single JSPX and bean.
Solutions tried:
1. Create a single JSP. Maintain the common variables in session.
Problem: When user opens ReplyScreen, common variables are initialized. However, when he opens ConfirmScreen without closing ReplyScreen, common variables
get overwritten.
2. Create a single JSP. Maintain the common variables in Iterator, along with all the values fetched from DB.
Problem: Same iterator object is shared amongst both pages.
Question:
1. How to create a single JSPX and attach each of its 'modes' (ReplyScreen and ConfirmScreen) to different Iterator objects?
Any help will be appreciated...
Thanks,
Rohit

Try creating a bounded taskflow that relies on parameters to define what it shows and how it behaves.
The taskflow can use its own memory and transaction scope as needed and therefor you should be able to have multiple instances of it open with different behaviors.

Problems importing with LR 1.3 - Problems finding a location?

When I try to import photos from my camera LR pops up a message saying it's having a problem finding a location to put the imports. Then when I try to import again, it goes without a problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
thanks,

Geoff-
Can you give the exact message, what you then do? Also, type of image, platform, set up (internal, external drives, room on drive, RAM)

The find my iPhone app shows my iPad and iPhone in a totally different location about 100 miles away and my devices are in my lap.... I'm confused ...

Any thoughts on this , I'm worried that someone has cloned my device Id and is phishing , or would there be just a major glitch in the GPS ? I have turned off the location app and turned it back on to see if it was a glitch still comes up to the same location about 100 miles way to a place I have never been. Help !

Find my iPhone gives 2 different locations

I lost my iphone 5s in a rural location. Find my iphone shows it in the middle of a field about 5 miles away from where I lost it (it has been static there since I got back home and searched for it). However, when I pressed the car icon for directions, it shows a different location, a footpath about 2 miles away. Why might that be? Is it possible that the location is so inaccurate that the phone is really still where I think I dropped it, about 5 miles from the reported location? Given these are all rural locations, searching is hard (lots of plant ground cover) so having a good idea where best to look further would be very helpful...

Thanks tonefox; a sensible guess, but not correct. There was a road right by the field, so that wasn't the reason.
Here's what actually happened: I found my iphone in a shed at home - some 4 or 5 miles from the nearer (and 6 or7 from the further) of the locations on findmyiphone. So both results were wildly inaccurate. It was only findmyiphone that convinced me that I must have dropped it on a walk and that it must have been found and moved by someone else. We spent many hours searching the three possible areas (two shown by find my iphone, and then the area where we had actually walked) before we decided a thorough hunt of the garden was a good idea, as I'd been chopping wood there all afternoon. It was in the woodshed...
Normally findmyiphone correctly locates stuff at my house, even though GPS is intermittent here (we live in a fairly remote and mountainous area) but this time it was wildly out. And I am still baffled as to why it showed two different, very wrong, locations.

Weird Finder 'Open With' menu problem

I have a new Lion MBP -- I did not use the migration asssistant from my old MBP instead I installed apps manually - now the weird thing is that the Finder 'Open with' context based menu includes apps that were installed on my old MBP that are not (and have never been) installed on the new computer!!
How did that happen... anyone have any ideas and how I can get rid of these 'ghost' entries.
Thanks
Rich

Simon,
Resetting Launch Services, by Dr. Smoke should be helpful.
