App Expose showing all previous opened files

If I go into App Expose (3-finger swipe down) in apps like Textedit or Pages, I see a row of icons showing the last x docs thart have been opened. I don't want this to happen. I thought that App Expose only revealed all open windows of an app.
Is there any way of switching this off?

may something with system prefs general aand items you want show..

How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?

How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart? I want to wipe all open files, since that seems to be the most efficient way to close lots & lots of open files (that build up over the course of normal activities)

One way is to always quit all applications before you shut down.
An easy way to do this (although in my own experience it doesn't seem to always work perfectly) is to simply hit CMD + TAB + Q and hold down all three keys.
When you do that the computer will cycle through all open apps and close them. If there are any open files that haven't been saved, it won't close them. So you should save everything you want to save before you hit CMD + TAB + Q.

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Deleted the app in the dock that compiles all your open files and fans them out as icons. What is it and how do I get it back?

When I bought my macbook pro, I deleted the app in the dock that complies all your open files together. When you click on the app it fans all the icons out. What is that app called and how do I find it again/get it back??
Thanks!

okay... got that...but before I deleted it, it would "fan" all my open web pages, or open PDF files. So they were in a little folder as opposed to lined up beside my trash bin?
make any sense?

My husband gave me his iPod touch, even after resetting all settings, and even though I have a user name and password whenever I need to update apps it shows his previous user name, and is asking for his password. How do I fix that?

Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right. It does show my user name. It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password. Everything in iTunes and my account looks right. The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store. One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on. You can change that by going to Settings>Store. Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

"All My Files" doesn't show all of my files

When I select the "All My Files" view in a Finder window, it correctly shows my files sorted by file type "Presentations", "PDF documents", "Images", etcetera. The problem is that many, if not most, of my files aren't listed.
For example, on the "PDF documents" row, the right-hand side of the Finder window says "Show all (58)" when I in fact have over 700 .PDF files. Likewise, the Finder window only shows one file of the type "Presentations" and one file of the type "Spreadsheets", even though I have almost 150 of each. If I perform a Spotlight search on ".ppt" or ".xls", all of my files show up correctly and are identified correctly by type (i.e. "Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation" or "Microsoft Exel Workbook"), so I know that Lion knows what type of files these are. So why is only one of each showing up in the "All My Files" view?
I've also noticed that the only images that show up in "All My Files" are the ones that *aren't* in iPhoto. Likewise, the only music files that show up in "All My Files" are the ones that *aren't* in iTunes, but I'm guessing that this is because I'm supposed to access those files through iPhoto or iTunes rather than through the Finder?
Any help would be appreciated. I can actually see the "All My Files" view as being a useful feature, but only if it would in fact show all of my files.
Thanks,
Scott Gardner

I can help you.
but I am not good at english.
so I am sorry.
anyway,
the solution is that edit your file which path is "/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/MyLibraries/myDocum ents.cannedSearch"
for example
I need to search my "data" partition.
it must be mounted in "/Volumes/data"
and do this
==========================

After update, opens all previously opened pdfs

This happens on both XP and Vista with Reader 9. After doing an automatic online update of Reader, then next time Reader is opened, it tries to open all previously opened PDFs. Of course this slams the machine while Reader is trying to open all of those files. This happens whether attemptig to start Reader by opening a file or starting Reader directly. This is unacceptable behavior.

Repair the Adobe Reader installation.

4.0 EA2 - Previously Open Files Not Opening on Start

Just started using 4.0 EA2 from 4.0 EA1. Thanks! Noticed is much faster than EA1!
I have noticed that previously opened files no longer are being opened when starting SQLDeveloper. Prior to EA2, any files that were open when SQLDeveloper is closed were opened then next time SQLDeveloper started. Is there a setting I am missing that governs this behavior?
Thanks!

True but I think that the disk image mounter is not working so I'm not getting the option to drag anything anywhere. How do I repair the disk image mounter?
Just tried after reading on a www forum;
Run /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Click on "Macintosh HDâ€? in the left column and then press the "Repair Disk Permissionsâ€? button. I don't think this step was part of the solution to my problem.
Delete the file called /System/Library/Extension.kextcache
Delete the folder called /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches/
Restart
But the deleted files just re apear after start up and the issue continues.
There is no issue with the hard drive, also just booted to Disk Utility again and done a volume repair, no problems there. Grrrrrrrrrrr

When I press tab, an annoying icon bar pops up in front of my window showing all my open windows, how can I stop this?

Whenever I use the tab key on my keyboard to try to move between fields on the screen, instead of moving the curser I get an icon bar that pops up in front of the the window, showing all my open windows. I don't want this to happen anymore, please tell me how to stop it.

Sounds that Windows thinks that the Alt key is (still) pressed.
Does it help if you press all status keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) a few times?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|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).

My iphone 4 app store shows all apps in US currency

my iphone 4 app store shows all apps in US currency. I upgraded to to the latest iOS5 and after that everytime I want o purchase an app using my iphone 4 the currency shows in US dollars, although I am a UK resident. I did not have this issue before, each time I try to purchase an app it says I do not have a valid US address? Please advise?

ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you

After quitting a "private browsing" session, and I quit togo back to previously open tabs/pinned sites, 40% of the time, the Browser does not restore all previously open tabs/pinned apps/sites

Using HP Pavilion Dv7 with Windows Home Premium, 64bit, and only now and then will FF4.0.1 restore previous (normal) session after returning from a private browsing session, )I use the Quit Private Browsing menu item from the Toolbar right-click menu to go back).... In addition, previously Pinned sites (apps) are lost also, and all must be re-added.
Inconsistent failure and I've not been able to reliably reproduce-- sometimes (about 4-6 times in 10) it just loses all previous information.

I would add that bookmarks may be organised into folders and subfolders. You may wish to make more use of bookmarks if only to ensure you do not loose everything if your session restore becomes problematic.
Bookmarks are a bit more robust than the session restore system. Firefox backs them up automatically and you may do so manually. Possibly Firefox will behave better and faster with hundreds of bookmarks but only tens of tabs open. There is also the tabs groups, but that is something I think development has ceased on and may have similar issues to session restore / or open tabs.

N97 screen showing the previously opened screen.

i m a new n97 user and im not a satistfied with its performance.may be nokia is trying to turn down iphone,so this mobile is a result of that compitition which i think iphone is winning.
the screen is not good in all aspects.whenever i use the phone lil bit more,its screen starts showing writings of previously opened windows like if i previously had opened google n then i switched to video,the google screen will be still visible transparently in the video which im watching.
i dnt think that there is anything i can do with this problem. is this a hardware problem or software issue?
and please nokia concentrate on your product manufacturing ,not on what APPLE is doing.

APP expose/ Show desktop doesn't work in Safari and Mail

These gestures work in my other apps but not in these two mac branded and updated apps.
The lack of app expose is particularly infuriating in Safari where you can occassionally have more than one window open. Anyone else notice this? any solutions?
thanks

I get you. I am thinking more pop ups or other unintended new windows that open from time to time (Even in safari).
I liked using expose to see only my in app windows. It was an easy way to clean up clutter Mission control is there, but it shows everything.
I just dont understand why they wouldnt allow it to work. people could have the choice to use mission control or expose. They are not completely redundant processes.
