Why do my windows keep defaulting to a List view that I have to adjust just to see columns other than name

This occurs both in Finder and in Application modal dialog boxes working with files.
I am constantly (and I mean constantly) reducing the width of the name field in windows in List view so that the name column doesn't use the entire available width of the containing window. I've tried using the View Options (Cmd "J") in Finder and clicking on "Use as Defaults" button but this seems to save only the items within the options window not any window editable states like column width.
I return to same folders all the time and have to change this every freaking time.
It's worse within application dialogs because they default to an even narrower file viewer window than my Finder windows tend to be.
Just one more of my many Mavericks issues. :-\

This is clear enough it does what it says in English British English

Where do you get this problem?
Is this with the spell checking dictionary or with the language setting?

I currently have 1,177 photos on my iphone (4s) but it takes up 4.9 GB of space. Why is it so large? I do not use photostream - this is simply within my "Camera Roll". Other than deleting the photos, can someone tell me another solution?

My friend has over 2,000 photos on her iphone and it only used 1.7 GB of space and I know I had at one point over 3,000 photos on my phone and still had space left for more.
Any tips are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Melissa.

When you open your camera app, does it say "HDR on" at the top?
HDR photos are better quality but take up much more space.
Also, go to Settings>photos and camera. Scroll down to "keep normal photo". Is it on? This feature saves a normal copy and an HDR copy of every photo you take.
I bet your friend has this feature turned off along with the HDR as well.

-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

I am unable to activate an old windows copy of CS3 that I have. Did previously install it on other computers which I then failed to deactivate before discarding them. What can I do now?

why can't you install it?
if it's because you've used your max of 2 current activations and need to deactivate (and you'll see that message if that's the problem), contact adobe support - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html
otherwise, explain.

Hi there cortleavis90,
You may be able to download the purchases from the Past Purchases section of the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I wonder if the new version of ADOBE PHOTO ELEMENTS 13 would keep me all families and labels that I have made over 14,000 photos with adobe photo elements 9

Hi,
It should do but nobody can guarantee it 100%.
The best thing is to download the trial version and install that. When you install it, it should take a copy of your current catalog and then convert that copy to the new format. Your Photoshop Elements 9 should not be affected.
It is always a good idea to ensure that you have a backup of your catalog & photos when you start a major update like this. Take a backup using the Elements Backup to Hard drive option (under File menu) - best backed up to an external drive.
It is ok to have both version installed on your system but I suggest that you just use the version 12 to check out the catalog conversion to start with. If you are happy with that, you can always run the conversion at a later stage if you have updated the version 9 catalog. You can not convert the version 12 catalog back to a version 9 catalog.
The trial version can be found here.

Good luck

Why do my window keep inselecting after Lion

My Windows keep unselecting automaticly since I updated to lion how can I fix it ?

Same problem. I am a daily Podcasts listener, and podcasts that worked the day before will literally not work the next day. All the podcasts on my iphone will suddenly be broken. This keeps happening to me, and it's most glaring when I try to resume listening to an episode I listened to half of on the previous day. I suddenly get the error message:
Episode Unavailable: "This episode is temporarily unavailable from [Podcast name]
This started when I got the new Iphone 5s (iOS7) and was forced to switch to using the Podcasts app outside of the Music app. And now it's happening constantly to my regular podcasts. The listened to status is also sometimes wrong. Podcasts I've already listened to, and in some cases deleted, will show up again as fresh downloads.
I have to remove the corrupted podcasts one by one and download them again manually.
RIDICULOUS and UNUSABLE. This Podcasts app does not work.

Why does my B8550 keep refusing to print saying I don't have the right paper/paper size?

I have never been so frustrated with a printer. I have never tried using it for making pictures without having problems. I buy HP paper and the printer still refuses to print...I get the message that I have the wrong paper or wrong paper size. Even if I use the option "other photo paper" to try to avoid the sensor in the printer to determine what paper is being used, I still get the same message. And I've checked and rechecked...the paper size I'm programming the printer for is the same size paper I have in the printer.
I have a pavilion g series laptop with Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I went to the hp site to download the printer drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you back up to iCloud? I'm assuming so since you asked about purchasing more storage.
Check Settings > General > Usage on your iPhone and see if you really need everything you're keeping there.

My browser toolbar keeps defaulting to Ask instead of Google. Have deleted it, moved it and everytime I reboot there it is. How can I remove or set Google as default?

I am running Win7. On my screen, there is a field that lists the browsers available. The default seems to be Ask with the others listed, about 5. There is a button to move them according to preference so I move Google up to the top. Then there is also a button to Remove the ones I don't want to use. I have tried both of those and everytime I reboot or open up the Mozilla browser page it defauts back to Ask. How can I stop this from happening. Did read there is a workaround but not sure that is what I should do

There is a quick, clear guide for changing this on [http://www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to/change-firefox-4-address-bar-search-engine-provider/ this page] as the dedicated search bar and the omnibar ''do'' have very different requirements for changing.

I have tried to install the upgrade to iTunes on my Windows XP system. It tells me that I have an older version of Bonjour on my system and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not uninstall! Help?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

Why won't Finder open some folders in List view?

I cannot open some folders in Finder when it's in List View. For example, I have an external drive divided into 3 volumes: Ext A, Ext B, and Ext C. B & C open fine when I double click: A will not open at all, although sometimes Finder will open a blank window. If I click on the volumes in the Finder sidebar I get the same results. BUT if I switch to Column View it opens OK. Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my folder? (All volumes above have identical permissions.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I ran the disk verify utility and all the volumes checked out OK. It has also happened with one folder of the internal hard drive. I ended up copying all the data from that folder and putting into a new (re-named) folder, and deleting the original. The new folder was accessible OK.
It must be something to do with that one folder??

CS4 Test Movie window keeps defaulting back to minimal size

When I go to Test Movie in Flash CS4 the screen defaults back to minimal size each time I preview. In CS3 which I still use as well, after the first time you test your movie and maximize your window (I like to see the site with the background color) it will be maximized the next time you preview. With CS4 I have to maximize each time I test the movie. I've looked in preferences and can't seem to find a setting for this.
Any help would be so appreciated.
Thanks,
BC
