Want Finder to start with active windows

Under previous OSX, mac would start at login with two active Finder windows, on the second display alogside Mail. Mavericks won't do this. Is there a way to have Finder start with one or more active windows? Thanks.

In addition to the previous answer, uncheck the box in System Preferences > General: Close windows when quitting an application..

Finder starts with five windows open!

I have looked for an answer on here, but haven't been able to find it. For some reason, my Finder just started opening five windows every time I launch it (same five, all different). I have the newest OS version.
I have closed all of the windows, relaunched finder, rebooted the system -- all to no avail.

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter ~/Library/Preferences/ as the folder's location, and move the file named com.apple.finder or com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop. Next, relaunch the Finder again, and see if the windows are open.
This is not an issue with login items in the Accounts pane of System Preferences; if it was, the windows would not appear when the Finder was relaunched while remaining logged in.

The ff default theme keeps re-enabling itself after computer restart even though I enable littlefox and restart firefox, and it does the same on more than one computer. I want littlefox to start with firefox, not have to enable every time.

Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

I see. That's too bad. At least we're not alone.

Issue with active window

Hello you, problem solver!
I have a little issue with active/inactive windows
For exemple when I use GIMP, this software is on 3 different windows... so my problem is:
when I'm on the image window drawing lines and I want to switch the pen..
I have to click on the tools window to active it then select the pen
And to go back on the image window and draw I have to click on the image window to active it then clic again to use the pen...
Is there a way to bypass the "Click to active the window" step?
Like click to draw, click to select a new tools and click back on the image window to draw...
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the discussions.
This might be better answered at GIMP forums or FAQ as it looks like a UI issue with GIMP. Here is a link that you might want to visit. http://www.gimp.org/develop/
Also this is a good place http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com/ where you can tell them your ideas.

Regex to find word starting with $ symbol.

Hi,
I want to find all the words in a JTextPane starting with "$" symbol followed by alphabets or digits.
Below is the code, which I have written
public void matchAllWords(String textPaneData) {
     String regexStr = "\\b(\\$?(\\w+))\\b";
     Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regexStr);
     Matcher m = p.matcher(textPaneData);
     while (m.find()) {
           System.out.println(m.group());
}Suppose the text pane data is
hello $world 2$ $test_string $50.0 $5*5
I want the method to match the following words
$world
$test_string
$50.0
But the program is printing:
hello
world
2
test_string
50.0
5*5
Please help me, where am I going wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vaishakh

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Eric Steven Raymond
Rick Moen
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal - in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

ABAP code to find records starting with Z or Y

Hi,
I am trying to find the records in a SAP table, where all the values for a particular field start with Z and Y. What is the coding statement for this?
I tried this but it does not seem to be correct.
SELECT field
    FROM table
    INTO TABLE t_itab
    WHERE field LIKE 'z*'.
Can someone correct me or suggest me the best solution for this? Thanks.

If you have to do in urself
DATA: i_reptx TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF textpool WITH HEADER LINE.
READ TEXTPOOL 'ZJ_ALV' INTO i_reptx.
and describe the itab.. and get the lines.
In conjunction with TADIR table to get the program repository.

Where can I find "Getting Started with AppleScript"?

I googled it. And it doesn't show any links from Apple. I'm trying to learn AppleScript and the Language guide says to go through the Overview first which in turn recommends going through Getting Started with AppleScript.
I even searched Mac Reference Library but it just doesn't show up!
Any help?
Neerav

No, certainly not. I mean, I don't know any AppleScript, but I can say with certainty that the answer to that question is no.
Objective-C is a programming language that is an extension of the C language. It is the language that is used to develop applications for Mac and iPhone. Other languages like C++ and Java can be used as well, but Objective-C is the language that Apple really intends for you to use for Mac and iPhone development, since it is heavily integrated with the Cocoa framework (for Mac developemt) and Cocoa Touch framework (for iPhone development). You need to know the C language to learn the Objective-C language, and you need to know the Objective-C language to work with the Cocoa or Cocoa Touch frameworks, but AppleScript is a totally separate and different animal from these things. AppleScript is a scripting language, and although it can technically be used to create applications from what I understand, it is mainly used as a mechanism for controlling applications. For example, you could use AppleScript to tell a certain application to perform a certain task everyday at a certain time. You can use it to create automated workflows and whatnot. I think that's what it's mainly meant for.
It's worth noting, however, taht there is a development environment called AppleScriptObjC. I don't really know anything about this, except that it allows for AppleScript to be used as the primary programming language.
I found a lot of this information at [Wikipedia's AppleScript page|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript], so you might want to consider looking over it real quick -- it might be helpful. Here is the link to [Wikipedia's Objective-C page|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-c] and [Wikipedia's Cocoa page|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_%28API%29]. As someone said on these forums, Wikipedia is far from the last word on any subject, but those links might be helpful for you for just getting an idea of what these things are all about.
Hope that helps some. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Launching Mac FF 3.6.6 by clicking a link in Mail causes FF to start with 2 windows: my normal starting window & the window evoked by the link that was clicked.

Clicked a link in Apple mail launches FF (Mac 3.6.6) with two windows: The window that I normally see when double-clicking FF, and a window evoked by the clicked link.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I want to share files with my windows and mac computer.

I have a Fujitsu Life book and I want to manage files between it and my mac, but using leopards new sharing feature It recognizes the computer but when it try's to connect doesn't work or it says that "the source can't connect check if its turned off (which it isn't)". I enabled sharing in my mac but does that include windows machines? and do I have to do enable anything on the pc to connect? also on the laptop when I enter my macs afp address it goes to google.

whenever i want to share files between my windows machine and my PB running Leopard , i go into sharing and enable file sharing . Then i turn off afp ( and samba ) and enable ftp . then from windows i'll fire up an ftp client and browse to the drop box and move what ever i want to move back and forth . it works really good for me . But this is all done on my home network , not across the internet .

Creative Cloud Manager starts with empty window

Hello everybody
I have a problem with the creative cloud manager. After I have uninstalled Photoshop (Wiindows7 64 bit), the creative cloud manager starts up "empty". I have no menus, no applications.
I need to reinstall Photoshop, but this doesn't work without creative cloud manager
I have uninstalled the ccm and reinstalled it, same result: empty window.
I appreciate any input on this
Thomas

Hello marsupilami99,
in this case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it become a little bit complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool".
Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
Good luck!

Photoshop freezes after starting with white window

when I start Photoshop I see this after a few seconds. PS is then not responding and I have to force quit it.
One time I could see the window as "Participate to improve" but I couldn't click in it as PS freezes again.
Mac OSX Mountain Lion with all updates, freshly installed 2 days ago. Photoshop was installed two times by now. I already deleted the preferences to check if that helps, but same happen again. To be sure that it is not one of the custom brushes I re installed PS.
How can I get rid of the window or how can I solve this problem?
Thank you all

Hi Bonepenonline,
Please open Photoshop on root account and check whether its working there.
