Bookmarks opening when Safari starts

As you might have noticed, if you open Safari, and you have no pages left open from the last session, it will bring up the bookmarks menu no matter what.
This is annoying because most of the time I open Safari I just want to do a quick search on google, so I have to wait for the bookmarks menu to popup, close it and then reach for the google search bar.
Is there a way to avoid bookmarks popping up, so that I'm just left with the blank page and I can click on the google search bar right away?

Not directly. However try this:
1. Go to Google on com;
2. Click on the + in Safari's tab bar
3. Touch 'Add to Home Screen';
4. Done!
This will add a new icon that will launch directly to Google.

  • How do I stop Safari from automatically opening when I start iTunes?

    A couple months ago, something very strange started happening.
    Every time I open iTunes, Safari starts up opened to this page:
    file:///Applications/OmniGraffle.app/Contents/Resources/ja.lproj/OmniGraffle%20H elp/index_Customizing.html
    It is an HTML page for "OmniGraffle Help," even though I have never installed OmniGraffle.
    Anyone know how this came to be and how I can prevent this from happening anymore? Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • Since I upgraded to Lion multiple documents open when I start Pages, Since I upgraded to Lion multiple documents open when I start Pages

    I've searched Pages preferences, but haven't found a way to stop former documents from opening when I start pages. Any idea how to stop this?

    It's one of the new features of the operating system.
    It restore the state of tha apps when you quitted.
    There is a preference to disable that in the System Preferences pane Appearence but you must also disable it in the Switch Off dialog which reactivate the feature by default.

  • How do I change settings so Blackberry desktop manager doesn't open when I start my computer??

    I want the desktop manager to open when I ask it to, or else to open automatically when I connect my phone to the computer by USB.  Currently, it opens when I start my computer.  I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

    Did you install the software from a CD or download it?
    If from the CD, put it back in your drive. When the wizard appears choose the Modify option. Select the BlackBerry Desktop Manager from the 3 choices listed and hit Next. Your going to reselect the same options as you did when you first installed the software, but stop and the last step where you have the 2 checkboxes. You want to uncheck the top one that talks about starting the software when the computer starts
    If you just downloaded the software go into Add/Remove Programs, select the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and hit the Change/Remove button. Then just follow the steps above.
    Hope this helps

  • How do you make all bookmarks open in safari when launched?

    Hello Apple community! New mac user here. I really want to know how to automatically have all bookmarks opened after launching safari. Thanks so much!

    There is no way to open "all" bookmarks at launch
    But you can open a group of them at launch as tabs.
    Click the Book icon in the Bookmarks Bar.
    Click Bookmarks Bar in the side bar
    At the bottom left of the right side pane there is + sign. Click on it.
    A new folder will be created.  Name it.
    Checkmark the box  under the column "Auto-Click".
    The new folder will appear in the Bookmarks Bar
    Add your favorites to it. 
    Click "Add Bookmark" in the Safari toolbar and select the new folder.
    When you launch Safari, items in that folder will appear as tabs when you
    click on that folder in the Bookmarks Bar.
    Best,

  • Tabs from last session aren't opening when I start FireFox

    In options I have Show my windows and tabs from last time set for When Firefox starts. And I unchecked the warn me when closing multiple tabs option (although it was previously checked, and it wasn't warning me when it was checked).
    The last few days I have had 1 window with 4 tabs open (each to a different site) when I exited Firefox. The next day when I start firefox it ends up opening 4 windows each showing about:blank. My tabs are not restored.
    I have NOT cleared my history or any other information.

    Who was the pop-up offer from?
    Also, do you by any chance have chat utility installed called Digsby?

  • How do I get the table of contents to toggle? I opened it while reading one book I had checked out from my library, but it is still open when I start another book. I am using Adobe 4 and Windows 8.1 on my PC.

    How do I get the table of contents to toggle? It has remained open since I opened it while reading two books ago. Thanks for the help.

    Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

  • Have no windows open when iChat starts.

    I recently had to do a full reinstall for my G5.
    I don't recall this being a problem before then.
    When I start up iChat (after rebooting, whatever) it opens the buddy list PLUS empty windows for any chat I had going when I last quit.
    I think before, it'd just open the buddy list and no empty windows.
    I'd like to get back to that if I can, but I don't see a preference for it..
    Help?

    Hi,
    I am glad you found the answer.
    However the Chat windows should not be empty.
    The should contain the last chat you had with the Buddy it was with.
