Why is tabbed Finder useful? I do not understand the purpose

I have used the Mac for many years, but do not understand why having tabs in the Finder is useful- can anyone explain why this is a big deal? The color tags also don't seem like it adds much, but I can at least understand the organizational logic.
Why would someone open multiple Finder windows anyway?

Fads, my friend, fads.  Someone at Apple wanted to get on the "tab" bandwagon and now they're trying to put tabs everywhere.  Even where it makes no sense at all and only complicates the user interface...
Same thing with tags:  some people (Evernote, among others, is notable for refusing to allow more than two hierarchical levels) can't organize their documents in a hierarchical way.  Using nested folders, etc.
They invented this "new" approach where you keep everything at the same hierarchical level, but add a (or several) flag to an item (file, folder) to make it a member of a "group".
Same thing with the "look" of OS X.  There was the 3D epoch where the designers tended to make things stand out (icons, for example).  Now, we're entering the "flat look" epoch...
Fads have a tendency to come and go.  In a while, we'll go on to something else, dreamed up be the latest "designer" to work on something...
Bah...

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

  • HT203983 my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!

    my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!

    there may be several reasons why your credit card may be declined by the iTunes store ,
    the reason the iTunes store require c.card when you setup your apple id is for verification purposes
    if you have called the iTunes store in the past about unrecognised charges, or unauthorised activity ,
    then your bank may have blocked your card from being used on the iTunes store, i would recommend contacting your banking institute

  • Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in his billing info and my iPad mini does.  We both live in Canada.

    Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in billing info?  I have it on my iPad Mini and on my iPhone 4S.  We both live in Canada within 20 minutes of each other.
    I bought him $30.00 worth of iTunes gift cards, he loaded them, but it won't let him use them.  It just goes to his previously entered Visa card which he no longer has and it won't let him unselect it either.  Sounds like theft to me!

    Because you that's not a supported bluetooth profile on the iPhone... In order to sync contacts with a handsfree system, the system needs to support the PBAP bluetooth profile. If it does, then the contacts will sync automatically.

  • Why tuxedo7.1 or Tuxedo6.5 can not call the service on Tuxedo8.0 server

    Why tuxedo7.1 or Tuxedo6.5 can not call the service on Tuxedo8.0 server.
    I wrote the Server Application with Tuxedo version 8.0.
    And used tuxedo71 WS client to call the service.
    The client application displayd tpinit fail.
    ULog told me "prv7.1 not allowed,use -t option on wsl".
    Is there any way to solve this problem?
    thanks!

    risen,
    Yes there is a way to solve this. As the error message suggests, use the -t
    option on your WSL server. Look at

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569

  • Function module: why do we use FM and what is the purpose of using FM

    hi,
       Can any please explain. Why do we use FM?
                                           What is the purpose of using FM ?
                                           Where we are using FM and for what tables in R/3 ?
    I could be thankful to you if any one answer above questions.
    Arun

    Hi,
      We go for creating FM when there is a chance of using the same code in different reports in R/3.
    Suppose I have a requirement say, to display the Payer Name for every sale order.
    This is most common requirement in any project.
    You can create a FM say READ_CUSTOMER_NAME in SE37.
    Write a select statement from the table VBAP to fetch the Payer Name based on the Sales Order.
    Now you can activate the FM and it is ready to be used across all the reports in R/3.
    Need : To avoid redundant coding and to modularize the code.
    If you want to see the list of Standard FMs, got SE37 --> press F4 and you'll get all the SAP standard FMs.
    For customized FMs (User defined), type Z* or Y* and press F4.
    Hope this helps a bit !!!
    Regards,
    Balaji V

  • Why does f12(preview in browser mode) not render the page correctly?

    Why does f12(preview in browser mode) not render the page correctly? Instead when i go to the main or original file, it renders properly? It is drriving me nuts! HAHA! Can anyone help? mainly CSS problem, div overlapping but when viewing from original file on browser not through F12, it renders correctly. CS5.5 DW. Thanks!

    just that one of it is a f12 (preview in browser) while the other one is going to the directory and clicking the html page by itself.
    F12 is simply a hot key that launches your browser.
    The only thing I can think of to explain this is that you have a local site folder someplace in addition to a testing server site.
    When you hit preview, your testing server on the localhost/ is being called up in the browser.
    When you open the HTML page directly, you're seeing the local site file with unparsed data.
    Try disabling your Testing Server in Sites > Manage sites > Edit...
