How to get Safari to open window upon launch?

I have my user login items set to launch Mail and Safari upon boot.  All is well with Mail.  However, now when I boot and Safari luanches it does not open a new window like it used to do, but simply shows in the Dock as launched.  I then have to click on it to open its homepage window.  It used to open the homepage window upon boot/launch.  How do I get this back?  Thanks!

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Restart your Mac.
If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.

  • How to get Safari to open an HTML document created in AIR on iOS

    We have an iOS app that creates a 3-page HTML document on the user's device and then prints it. We were using Darkredz ANE to do this, but the ANE is broken in iOS 8 and the Darkredz website is abandoned.
    As a workaround, we want to use Safari to launch the HTML document, then print from Safari. But Safari won't open a local document that belongs to another app, probably because of the security sandbox. We don't have a network connection, so we can't save the file remotely. Is there a way to get Safari to open a local document?
    If not, does anyone know of a FileManager app that can open files that are located in the "documents" folder of other apps on the device? I've tried several of them, but so far, they only load files from iCloud, Box, etc.
    Thanks for any tips.

    Sorry I didnt think about it needing to print as 3 separate pages at specific points. If you can't get the HTML printing to work then you could keep could this thought in mind. If the height of the, I presume, HTMLLoader object is the right value, you can draw the white-space of the page into the BitmapData and then it might still print at the right location. If it doesn't work immediately and you felt like putting in a little more effort, you might be able to tweak the height of the HTMLLoader objects so that each one represents a single page. Granted this approach would likely only work for one paper size format, such as 8.5x11. Sorry I don't have any easier ideas that work with what you already have done so far

  • How to get safari to open to the last page I was on and screens to enlarge automatically?

    Hello, I just upgraded to the latest iMac version from my 2010 model, and whenever I close and open up safari it opens to top siotes instead of the last page I was on, and every time I open it I have to enlarge it myself by clicking the arrows in the top right. Same happens with everything else, like the app store. How do I change this so whenever I go to safari it opens to the last page I was on and has safari, app store, etc. have large screens right away? I set up my old iMac 3 years ago, and I guess I must've done something to have it do this, but I forgetn what I did. Thank you in advance

    Hello there, Clumn.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some general tips for Mavericks that may address your issue:
    OS X Mavericks: General preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph13803
    Particularly of note:
    Close windows when quitting an application
    If you quit apps with windows still open on your screen, selecting this checkbox prevents the windows from reopening automatically the next time you start their app.
    This feature when not selected will allow the application to reopen windows automatically when you open the app.
    Additionally, this article provides information on how to set windows Full Screen:

  • How to get SAFARI to open as a FULL WINDOW Screen

    Hey there people.
    Please help. How do I open Safari and get it to fill the whole screen rather than just the middle. I've looked up preferences and general appearances but nothing seems to indicate full screen. It's annoying as I cannot see the full webpage and having to scroll to the right all the time.
    Thanks in advance.
    Joanna

    Hi Joanna,
    Sadly, Safari doesn't offer full screen as a standard option. You can get Saft (http://haoli.dnsalias.com/Saft/index.html), an extension (shareware) for Safari, that will allow you to do fullscreen with Safari and add many other options to it.
    If you don't feel like paying anything for fullscreen, you can get Firefox 2 (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/) and eventually get the much faster and better Firefox 3 (that will be release in the coming months).
    P.S.: Next time, try posting in the right category of the forum, hence Safari. You'll get a faster answer. (http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1)

  • Printer is connected. How to get rid of installation window upon boot-up?

    I have an Officejet 4500; successfully connected to desktop (Windows Ultimate Vista OP). However, had a problem when connecting to laptop (Windows XP). When getting to configuration step, had a fatal error.  Folllowing instructions in auto-dowloaded "HP Installation Error - XP" application, subsequently, downloaded drivers, utlities, etc.  Finally was able to print off of laptop. However, everytime I boot up computer now, an installation window auto-appears with a Fatal Error message, then it runs through all the installation steps again, stalls at the configuration step, then I have to click a Finish button to  finish an "uninstall" (which it does not do, the printer is still installed).  So, to continue using the computer, I have to click the Cancel button in the middle of the "install" operation, use the computer for other things I need to do, then I can't shut down until it completes its "Uninstall" process again.  The printer is connected...HOW do I get rid of the install window that auto-appears when I boot up? (There is NO "Close" button or icon.)

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

  • How do I get safari to open a pdf in window.

    How do I get safari to open a pdf in the browser window. A while ago I turned it off by typing  defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -boolean yes   into the terminal. Basically how do I undo that command

    Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
    Select the "Open With" Box
    Change it to "Preview"
    Then select the box just beneath it
    "Change All."
    This should set your PDF's to be read with Preview.

  • How to get Safari to ask if I want to download

    Using other browsers, I can set the preferences not to immediately start a download. I can set them to ask me if I am ready to download. How do I do that with Safari?

    Went there, read it, no mention at all of how to get Safari to allow me to choose whether to download or not. I am sure you haven't seen this option in Safari either, and that's why you thought Apple's guide would provide some solution for my not knowing the Safari routines. In fact, I am quite familiar with the use of Safari other than this one ommision: how to get an option to choose to download a file. You see, many download links do not show the file name. Only after Safari begins to download can I see the file name in its download list, which is difficult to use, as it shows the oldest download at the top and the active download is far down at the bottom of the list. That leaves me scrolling and looking to find out if it is either a Windows-only file (.exe) or a file I may already have. In those case, I have to cancel the download, or if I am not fast enough, I must trash a file that I didn't want in the first place. With all other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome, etc.) I can choose to allow the download to proceed or cancel it based on the small window that appears showing the file name after I click the link on the webpage. Surely Safari has that option also.
    Here is a capture of what I mean (got to paste the entire URL as this forum doesn't have a link button):

    I log in to iCloud.com with IE 8 from my Windows 7 box at work all the time - no problem.  However, Firefox never even loads the login page.
    On Windows only IE and Safari are supported, that's why Firefox doesn't load.
