10.9.2 - New Documents open to a search window . . .

After upgrading to 10.9.2, every time I open Pages, TextEdit, etc . . . I get a this annoying window that is a hybrid Finder / Search window. I have to either search for an existing document, press "done" in the bottom right, or "New Document" in the bottom left. This is super redundent as choosing New Document often taks you to the app's template chooser or done will guess what kind of document format I want, forcing me to go back to the template chooser anyway. It is an annoying distribution to my work flow. How do you disable this new unwelcomed feature?

I think I have this solved. I turned off File Sharing on both computers, rebooted, and turned file sharing back on. Now Hubby's Mac can open My Mac's files.

Photoshop won't open or create new documents, works breifly after full windows restart.

Hi everyone,
I am having an issues with photoshop becoming unresponsive. After about 10 minutes Photoshop will not open or create a document.
I've spent hours trying to fix this with no results. I've spent time on Nvidia's forums and tried downgrading the driver back to 275.33 with the same results. I've disabled opengl in photoshop with the same results. This error occurs on both CS5 and CS6 versions of photoshop. I've tried reinstalling photoshop (not removing and reinstalling, just reinstalling).
I can't tell if it's a photoshop issue or a Nvidia issue. I've read countless threads on this forum and can't find any help. Please help.
I've made this video to show you the issues. Thank you for your help

Hi,
I'm having the same trouble as OP: Photoshop opens but will not create a new document or open an existing one. In addition to that, I've noticed that if you hammer on ctrl+n enough times and manage to actually get a document open, PS won't save it but will go through the motions of doing so.
There have been quite a few reports of this issue now over the last year or so and they seem specific to PS CS5 and up. They all remain unresolved. This is actually an easily searchable issue now.

I'm currently working on a big project across the suite and all the other Adobe applications are running fine.
I have tried all the suggested fixes with no result. One other issue that did become apparent, was re-installing PS. After uninstallation, the Adobe installer kept encountering "Exit Code 7" when trying to reinstall PS. The only way around this in the end seemed to be removing all Adobe software from the system and starting again. The original issue remains.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that PS CS5 has worked without any problems on this system for just under a year now. I haven't made any drastic changes to the system so I'm completely baffled as to why this is happening.
Hope this post goes some way to the issue being acknowledged and rectified.

CS5 New documents open small

Well, I just got a brand new computer, and upgraded to cs5 (from cs2), and I have yet to start even using it... mainly because of a really annoying issue... I like to use my photoshop in windowed mode so I have access to my desktop. This has been fine in cs2, however with cs5 (and no luck in any options... unless i'm missing one) I open a new document, and it always opens INSIDE my windowed minimized screen... so it will open up at about 0.33% as of now...
If I have it it normal maximized mode its fine, this only happens in windowed mode... is there any option to turn this off? when you opened a new file/document is just opened up in the screen, not in the window...
example:
img850.imageshack.us/img850/5519/unled2ex.jpg
anyone have any ideas of whats going on? I would really like to be able to use photoshop in windowed mode =/

It tries harder to keep its windows within its application space now, as this is more in tune with Windows' philosophy.
Just drag the bottom of Photoshop's main window down and your new windows will open against the gray Photoshop main window. You will have to get used to minimizing Photoshop or moving it out of the way to be able to access other things on your disktop.
There is a "kind of" exception if you use two monitors. I haven't experimented with it much, but documents always seem to open on monitor 1 regardless of whether the Photoshop main window is on monitor 2. When set up this way, the documents try to open at their 100% size over the top of the desktop (or fit to the monitor if too big for that).
I'll say this: There may be some other way to arrange things to get closer to what you want, but I haven't seen it. I keep Photoshop's main window mostly covering my left monitor and panels all on the right one.

How do I delete a toolbar that was added by a plugin? Plug-in's been uninstalled, but the toolbar is still there and any new tabs open on their search engine (even though I have Tab Mix set to open tabs on a duplicate page). Help?

Running Firefox on Windows XP3. I installed a plugin from Savevid.com, which they now require. (I've used that site for at least a year with no problem ever.) Everything was fine but it added a toolbar to my browser, and it seems to have reset Firefox somehow so that any new tab opens on "Searchqu", some low-rent search engine. I uninstalled the plug-in altogether, but the toolbar is still there, and I can't make the reset on the search engine go away. I use Tab Mix Plus (also never had this problem before with it), but no matter what I do, the tabs will not open to anything other than searchqu. (Tab Mix has the option to open to a duplicate tab - what it was using BEFORE all this - but changing that no longer has any effect.)
Anyone know how to deal with a problem like this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Am using Firefox 5.0.1, any new tabs open with a search engine for imvu and when I go to about:config there is no entry for browser.newtab.url that I can modify

I am using Firefox 5.0.1.4205 with Windows 7 Home Premium Service pack1. My new tabs in Firefox open with a search engine for imvu rather than google as I would prefer. I can't find an answer to my problem so far because when I try the recommended use of about:config and finding browser.newtab.url; it is not listed. Is this version of firefox to old to have that, or is it just missing? What can I do to get my new tabs to open with a Google search engine. This is on my 80 year old father's computer so he is not likely to upgrade browsers as I would on my home computer. Thank you for any help with this.

The new tab page (about:newtab) wasn't introduced until a later version of Firefox (iirc, ''Firefox 10'') , which is why that pref can't be found.
Sounds like your father picked up some Malware.
Maybe this is what you're dealing with.

When clicking CTRL+Link my new tab opens in the background window, instead of the foreground window I'm using. Is there a way to make this work the way it used to, where the new tab always opens in whatever window I was currently using?

I use a web based software for work. I go to a web page listing all employees as links (Window A). When I click an employee link a new window opens (Window B). Window B contains links, i.e. Add Client, Change Address, Change Phone Number, Change Name, Upload Photo, etc... When I hold CTRL and left click the links in Window B, the new tab opens in Window A. I don't understand why this has changed, as I've been using this method to open new tabs in my current window in both of the previous versions of Firefox.

That didn't work, but thank you very much for the offer of help. I had already tried that option.
To give you an example of what I'm speaking, I found this page that recreates the scenario.
1. Goto [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm]
2. Click the GO in the center of the box on their page (This creates a pop-up window with links to other programming pages)
3. CTRL+left click any of those links. The page opens in the background/original window, not the pop up window where you are currently working. And, with your solution takes me back to that window and the new tab.

Documents open in separate Acrobat Window Acrobat 9 Pro

When I open multiple documents in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, each opens in a separate window.
In Acrobat 6 Pro, all files opened in the same window, & I could select which was displayed in the 'window' menu, or I could cascade or tile the documents.
Can Acrobat 9 be configured to open multiple documents without opening separate windows for each? If so, can it be easily switched back & forth?
Thanks in advance,

This is the worst thing to happen to acrobat, in my opinion.
The clutter that it creates on my computer and the fact that i cant even see the document title when I have a bunch of them open (because the task bar is too full) is unacceptable.
I never would have changed from Acrobat 8 if I had known, and now I cant switch back (company license).
The latest thing i can find about addressing it is here:

How do I set page in new tab...Right now every new tab opens to AVG Search

I do not want that.
I want this:

each time open a new tab.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

CS 4 InDesign Document opening full size of window

I upgraded to CS 4 on one machine. Now whenever I open any document, new or old, even if saved, the document won't open to my working area but goes the whole width of the screen including under my palettes. I've tried to save but every time I open, it opens the whole way so I have to readjust every time I open any document and I work on many through the day. Is there a way in CS 4 to get it to only open to where you saved it? Thanks.

I have the same problem as the original poster here, having just upgraded to CS4.
I have no wish to use "application frames." The links to a script mentioned here and elsewhere are all dead.
Anyone have a good link for the script? Or other ideas?
Thanks,

Pdf link dont work if document open in separate Acrobat window in internet explorer

Hi,
We have many pdf with different links between this pdf. The link type is "Open a file".
- If the fist pdf document is open from hard drive this links works perfectly.
- If the pdf document is open from the web site (http://website/doc1.pdf) and adobe reader is configured to open pdf in internet explorer it work also.
- But if the reader is configured to open pdf in a external window this link dont work. The link try to open the second pdf in c://Internet Temporary Folder/ as root instead of http://website/
Does anyone know a workaround ? I don't know if my customers have configured the reader to open in internet explorer or in a external windows...
Thanks for help !

If web browser integration is turned off, it really is turned off.
Adobe Reader simply becomes a "helper" application. The browser
downloads the file, puts it somewhere, and runs Adobe Reader. Adobe
Reader is not told anything special about the file and its origins, so
it cannot know that this was (before the download) a web file, or
where it came from.
A URL link might be the answer.

New tabs open with a search site - I want to get my thumbnails back.

When I open a new tab I get search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3319612&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=4&UP=SP19543CEB-FDD0-4BED-9A1B-7C1CECC96C28
rather than then new tabs page or blank.
I tried to change
browser.newtab.url status: user set type: string value: search.conduit.com/?ctid=......
but it doesn't seem to accept any changes.

Delete the user.js file in the profile folder.
* SEE: [[How to fix preferences that won't save#w_user-js-file-overriding-preferences]]
And after run the searchreset tool.
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

New Document button to create/open document in Office Web Apps rather than through Template.doc in client's MS Word

Greetings all,
We have a particular campus with exceptionally limited access on their machines -- essentially, they can browse the web (access our Intranet) but not write information to drives or update their MS Word to read the new DocX format (or install plugins, etc,
to do so).
The new Web Apps seems to provide some potential for alleviating their issue -- but ideally, they would be able to originate (create) new documents right in Sharepoint by clicking on New -> Document and having the new document open in Office Web Apps
rather than downloading / creating through Template.Doc (standard method in Sharepoint).
Any ideas about how to make this kind of functionality happen?
THanks!
---Dave

When you mention "web apps" I assume you're referring to the new "Office web apps" in SharePoint 2010, so I'm not sure why this question is in a pre-sharepoint 2010 forum... My answer entails how to go about doing this in 2010 only.
In the document library's settings, go to advanced settings, and choose for the files to be forced to be opened in the browser, instead of the client software.
By default, you're only going to have a new word document for your "new" button. You'll need to create content types for all the other document types you want them to be able to create. So create a blank spreadsheet, and save it on your desktop,
and create a blank powerpoint too.
Then create new content types at the top level of the site collection. One called Excel Template, and one called PowerPoint template. For each content type, click on the advanced settings and upload that blank file that you created.
In your document library, go to the library's advanced settings and change "allow mgmt of content types" to YES. Then, in the content types section add those 2 new content types you created.
Now, when people click the "new" drop-down, they will have choices of a word document, excel and powerpoint, and they will open in the browser.

Documents open "small" in newest version of Pages 5.5.2

I just noticed this in the most recent version of Pages and it's making working with old documents...tedious.
Instead of opening in the view size that I had closed them as, all existing Pages documents open in the same window dimensions, so I have to readjust the window dimensions of each document. This didn't happen previously.
How can I get all documents (existing docs) to open, say, in a specific windows dimension, magnification, and ideally, the same (or nicely overlapping) place on my monitor screen?

Trying to save default new document window location.

When you open up a new document (not from a template) it opens up (at least on my computer) in the upper left corner of the screen.
I would -- like -- it to open when I want it to open (bottom middle and smaller window).
What I do in other programs is open up the new document, position and size the window, then save it as a new template and set that template as the default document when opening a new document.
It isn't saving the window position. Any ideas?

After all the complaining many of us did about Pages 1 & 2 tiling new documents, they now open in the upper left if there are no other documents open. I agree, that when you set up a template, you expect new documents from it to open exactly as you saved the template. You need to leave feedback for the Pages team as ask for this. I ask not only for window position, but also window size. Every template of mine open to just one page even though most of mine are more than one page.
