On Illustrator CS6 (Mac OS) how can I keep an open file minimized when opening other files?

I work with several files at a time and it can become annoying when you open several files and a minimized file keeps opening after each one.  I don't want to have it open in the background, I just want it to stay minimized until I'm ready to work with it.
Thanks in advance

Hi Lytle,
Let me clarify few more things here. There is an option Window>Arrange>Float in Window / Float All in Windows. You can use this option to float all your documents i.e. make them in separate document window. Now you can minimize these individual windows. But, when you open any more document your last active document window will come into focus. To avoid disturbing minimized state of other documents you can keep a blank document floating and before opening any document make it active and then open any new document. This is a kind of workaround to get rid of this issue.
Hope it helps!
Thanks!

    How can I keep email to read later when off line please

    I'm not sure how it works on your iPad, but once the email has been downloaded onto my iPad, I can read them even in Airplane mode with WiFi disabled. I don't see the images that are in the emails, but I can read the messages. I have one POP account and three IMAP accounts and it works for all four accounts.

  • How can I keep a playlist on phone when syncing with new computer?

    When syncing my IPhone I am prompted with an ominous message that says "Are you sure you want to remove the existing music ... from this phone and sync with this ITunes library? Music .... will be removed and items will be synced from this ITunes library" The answer is no because I have a playlist I would like to keep on the phone, but add one which resides on the computer I am attempting to sync with. That is not an choice presented, the choices are Cancel or Remove and Sync. Apple should either give more options or at least a better explanation. I have synced this phone and computer combination before but have since created a new playlist in the computer (a Mac Mini).
    So how can I keep a playlist on the phone and add one from the computer too? Is it possible to view the phone as a drive and move items around in that manner? I use ITunes on both Windows and Mac platforms but this issue has always been problem for me. I also have IPhone 3 (used as an IPod), IPhone 4S and Iphone 5.

    Unless you can get the iPod backup file (and restore the iPod from that file on your new computer) from the "dead" computer you will lose all the app data you can export via email.
    - Yu can trabsfer iTnes purchases from the iPod by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can transfer non-itunes purchased music to the new computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion.
    Best iPod to PC
    - After you move the stuff to the new computer, either restore the iPod from the backup, or if no backup, restore to factory defaults,new iPod and sync.

  • How can I keep My 2 email accounts and all other using HTML? It only lasts temporarily, i.e. for the day...

    (1) - when I open Firefox I recently have clicked on the hyperlink for HTML at the bottom of page, it works great for my gmail and yahoo accounts. However, it is not a permanent fix, as it apparently lasts just for the daily session. How can I keep my internet, et al. HTML permanently?
    (2) - Firefox v24.0 is said to be fast and faster! However, I am not finding it so. when I click on a link or open a tab, it is frustrating as the tab labors too long to open...I more than not click on reload, which appears to help somewhat. Any suggestions?
    (3) - I've just printed out the Mozilla Support Q&A on the error message from Firefox stating that it cannot load the website...how to I remedy this, as it occurs constantly with my Yahoo mail login?
    (4) Finally, several weeks ago I inadvertently popped the "HEALTH" Bookmark (I have a Bookmarks Toolbar), which is excellent (had it with WinXP also, now with Win7), but I seem to pop, double click, or something or other, that makes a bookmark folder jump into the wild blue yonder! I've posted for answers here and elsewhere, printed out and read all variable instructions to navigate and locate, all to no avail. More sage advice please?
    with appreciation and, thanks in advance.

    For #1, is the link to use HTML to simplify the interface?
    It may be that the site stores your preference in a cookie, and you might have set Firefox to delete the cookie when you exit the browser. There are a few built-in ways to do this:
    * Set Firefox to "Keep [cookies] until: I close Firefox" on the Privacy Options (you can create an exception for your mail sites)
    * Set Firefox to "Clear history when Firefox closes" on the Privacy Options
    * Use a private browsing window to visit your mail site
    It's also possible that add-ons or external software may clean out cookies, or that there is a problem with the database file Firefox uses the store cookies.
    For #2, did this problem just start recently? Do you notice any relationship with the type of site content (e.g., pages that use Flash or other media)?

  • How can I keep a state machine readable when using large amounts of in/outputs

    Hello, I am new to Labview,
    Read trough the fundamentals and the
    getting started and a lot of examples.
    What I want to do is use a standard
    state machine from the template, and add some stages, for example
    orange, apple, banana. At this point I can use numeric controls to
    put in the amount of oranges, apples, bananas there are. I can even
    use a led to tell the user which state of the state-machine is
    active.
    The thing is there will be more numeric
    controls and more leds and it would be nice if the code would still
    be readable when there are 20 inputs and 20 outputs.
    Questions
    (1) It would be nice if I could use the
    typedef to select the right state AND the corresponding numeric
    controls and leds out of a cluster or an array kind of structure to
    keep the number of wires low. Is this possible, how can I do this?
    (2) I tried to put the numeric controls
    into a cluster but that way I can't put the numeric control for the
    apples in the upper right corner and the numeric control for the
    oranges in the lower left down corner of the front panel.
    (3) An example would be really nice, I
    know that I saw some examples describing this problem but there are
    so many examples that after a few hours of searching I haven't found
    the right one yet.
    Thanks in advance for the effort.
    p.s. I will not use Labview to do
    calculations on fruit, I am only using this to make the question
    easier to understand.

    I can only start a proper answer but I might as well start with that.
    When I am developing State Machines I have to think about what data is used and manipulated in each state. I then have to think about where am i going to keep and manage the data. I list all of the fields that are "touched" in each state and what values are used together and which are independent form the others. After this phase of the analysis, I usually have some data structure defined (cluser array etc).
    Then I flipp from thinking about the state to thinking about the data (after all this is LabVIEW and the data-flow paradigm is critical). If I see data that is only used by the State machine and is used in many of the states, then the data structure get put in a shift-register for easy access in each state. This maybe enough of an answer for your fruity question.
    When i see data that is shared or only used in a handful of states then I concider putting the data in an Action Engine. Depending on how you design your AE, you can access each of the fruit totoal by name or increment etc as required.
    If your app demands many fileds that are all related (can't be broken into distinct data structures) then create a cluster that has all of your values that are used by the AE. Then create an Wrapper VI for each call of the AE but only put the associated fields on the FP of the wrapper and then bundle that value into the cluster and invoke the AE.

  • How can I force Firefox to override javascript when opening links with ctrl+click?

    There are certain sites that always open up a link in the active window despite said links being opened by ctrl+clicking it. Basically what happens is that a java script on the site forces the active window to load the link while at the same time Firefox follows the ctrl+click command and loads it in a new tab. You end up with two tabs with the same information and always have to go back in your original tab to be able to open other links.
    Usually you can open the link the way you want by right-clicking and selecting 'Open Link in New Tab' but for some reason ctrl+click is treated as if it was a regular click. How can I stop this from happening and force Firefox to ONLY load the new tab?
    This problem is not specific to the version of Firefox I'm using or the operating system, but seems to be caused by java script on the site. Disabling java scripts makes the problem go away but sometimes it also disables the sites.

    If you're trying to protect your browser from hackers, I'd recommend setting up a master password for your saved passwords. Other than that, your anti-virus and firewall are responsible for keeping your computer safe.
    If you're trying to protect your browser from someone else (i.e. somebody who can physically use the computer) just lock your entire computer with a password. If someone else has to use it, you could try letting them use the guest account.

  • Mac Users: How can I watch YouTube again on Firefox, when for months all I get is a black screen and no controls?

    Beyond frustrated here. I can watch YouTube on Safari (I have a MacBook Pro laptop, OS 10.6.8), but I use Firefox, for everything else, so really need YouTube access on Firefox. I have googled the problem a zillion times and find solutions that do not work.
    Today in several places, including here at Firefox, the instruction is to uncheck the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" box which is found when you right-click (two-finger click on my trackpad) on the black YouTube screen. Then click on Settings, which brings up a display box. In the display box I'm supposed to be able to uncheck the hardware acceleration. And I see it there in front of me.
    But it's dead to my trackpad! The Enable Hardware Acceleration will not uncheck when I click on its tiny box. It's supposed to be active, but nothing I do in that display box works--even the close button. I've refreshed the page, tried clicking the icons on it, nothing works.
    Can you imagine no YouTube for months? It's driving me crazy. PLEASE help, I will be so grateful!
    Thanks~~

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • How can I keep my screen captures sharp when exporting to PDF?

    I've tried using a screen capture tool that allows me to snag in the exact size, plus I changed downsampling to none in the export settings, but the screen captures still look blurry in the PDF. What else can I do to keep them looking sharp?
    My client insists on using InDesign to lay out this presentation and wants a sharp looking PDF to send to clients.

    Ok, there's the problem. You turned off effective compression of the photos.
    I don't know how, or whether, you can have different compression for different image classes in InDesign. That's really a question for an InDesign forum.
    Good luck!

  • What exactly is using data and how can i keep it from using data when im not using my phone?

    So i have an iphone 4 and i have used a lot of data this month(like almost 2GB) and i have barely touched my phone outside of wifi areas. I always shut down any apps that use data like youtube, funnypics, facebook, etc. but i do play some games during my breaks at work but they dont require data to play so to my knowledge those games arent using data(or are they?) i just need some help figuring out exactly what on my phone is using data all the time so i can turn it off. Is it icloud? Emails on auto update? Offline game apps(minecraft, sonic dash, the Mr. Series games?) Do all apps use data regardless? Somebody please answer me. And No im not buying a bigger data plan. 2GB is my limit but it seems as though i am hitting that easily with my iphone but the rest of my familyis usually miles away from 2GB and they all have Samsung Galaxy S4s.

    My first stop would be in Settings > Cellular if you are on iOS 7.  This has a lot of goodstuff. you can turn off cellular data as a who, see your current usage and even see which apps have used data and how much.  You can even turn off individual apps form using cellular data (restricting them to wifi only).
    I hope this helps!

  • How can I keep the links between pages in a PDF file after the file has been saved?

    My accounting department has just starting using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to make our account reconciliations.  I like that we can create links between one page and the next, so that we can show our supervisor where the account balances tie to the supporting documentation.  But I have noticed the links disappear after my supervisor reviews and signs the PDF file.  Is there a way we can keep the links after it is signed?  Please note that we are not using EchoSign, just the “place signature” function in Acrobat.

    When a document is signed, the signer has the option of locking the document. The links won't be active if the document is locked, so to avoid this, instruct the signer not to lock when signing.

  • How can I keep bootable partitions from showing when I want to use my usb stick without the option command at boot up?

    Im using a usb stick with bootable diagnostic partitions and a extra partition for diags that run in the OS. When i want to use diagnostics from this extra partition on a mac thats already booted, I have to wait for all the bootable partitions to mount as well as the one partition that I need. Is there a way to hide these bootable partitions when using the usb drive as a storage device to run diags in the OS?
    Thanks

    I think I may have to look into a redirect line in my htaccess file so that direct loads of my mp3's route through my website page.
    If you do this you may find iTunes won't read the files, so I should test carefully on one file first if possible.
