@-button opens Safari instead of terminal window

Hi
I need to open the terminal window (succeeded earlier by clicking on the @-button to the left of the wastebasket). All I get from the @-button now is Safari showing the web page about Leopard. Any tips on how I can stop this / get past it so as to get a command line in the terminal window?

Hi percy
The @ on a spring has always opened Apple's current OS X page in Safari.
It is an URL.
It has never opened Terminal. If you want Terminal, drag it to the dock and select Keep In Dock.

Download folder doesn't open and instead makes Terminal open up

MacOSX 10.9.5 on MacBook Air of 2014. Open downloadfolder in Finder does not work. Trying so opens the terminal window saying only the name of the folder and -bash- . In Finder list view moreover the download folder lost its little triangle at the beginning of the name.
This behaviour started when I tried an old mediathek to open in iPhoto 9.5.1. It said I must download an actualization file, install it and then ... I did so, but when now opening iPhoto with any photo(s) it says it needs actualization and when I click on "Actualizar" (all Spanish), iPhoto crashes each time. The downloadfolder problem started the same moment.
On my second MacBookAir, same MacOSX, same purchase date, it did the following, when trying to open that same mediathek with the same version of iPhoto: Image folder (instead of download folder ...) does not open and starts Terminal as described above. MOREOVER all icons on the screen are "fixed" (not sorted!) and can't be moved to a different place on screen with the trackpad or mouse (can be moved though to other folders and trash bin). They follow, but when releasing they jump back to their original position. And iPhoto on this second one behaves equally, asking for "actualizar" and then crashes, when I confirm it.
Weird, isn't it? Thanks for any good advice ...

i just went into preferences, deleted what was in the home page, and entered a new home page address which solved the problem,

Button opens link in a new window

Hello everyone,
This is a rather simple question for all gurus out there, but
it seems a bit hard to find on documentation. How can you open a
link in a new window with a button in a flash form? I want a button
on my form to pop a new window with a specified link (say,
www.adobe.com or whatever). How would you approach this?

Safari how do i know which are my open Safari tabs in several windows?

Hi and good day,
It happens frequently that I have several windows open in Safari and in Chrome.
… and with a few tabs windows each.
My question:
How can I find a specific open page, which is somewhere on a tabbed window beneath other windows?
Is there an app to help?
It’s easier of course no problem with 'non-tabbed' windows, as the title will be displayed by the browser.
Hope this makes sense, and it is not unimportant for the workflow :-)
with best regards,

Hi. I'd like to delete the Snow Leopard Snapshots in my Time Machine backup drive because it won't work with Lion
I'm not sure what you mean . . . what won't work with Lion? It sounds like it did do some backups.
Is there a way or an app to know which are Lion snapshots?
There is a way, but it's rather cumbersome. You have to start selecting a full system restore; there's a window showing all of the backups and the version of OSX.
Is there an app I could use to manage the snapshots if manually deleting them will cause problems and side effects later.
It's best to use the Time Machine "Star Wars" display to delete backups, but you really shouldn't have to. Let's figure out what's wrong first.

My Verizon email "print" button opens a blank "print preview" window.

Help! I am running Windows 7 and I.E. 8. on a new HP Pavilion. I cannot print an email from the Verizon Web site in a "printer friendly" format without the entire web page printing and advertising. I get a blank pop-up Window where the "preview" should be.
I believe I should be able to get an answer from the support helpline, but I cannot. Apparently I have to pay for "premium service" if I understand the sales pitch I get every time I call support, but no one takes the time to tell me what is included in "premium" service. I can print from other web sites using a "printer friendly" format.

#1 In mine, I got text that says This message contains unloaded images.
So: I had to click on load images.
#2 Then I clicked on print.
#3 I am on Windows XP SP3 with Firefox, it works fine here.

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
[[Firefox hangs]]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Launching Safari from terminal window

Hi,
I would like to launch Safari from the terminal window to an HTTP url. When I do that Safari launches with file://http://.
One of the suggestions I've heard is to use open -a, as I am launching other browsers/applications, I would like to keep one consistent way of launching the browser.
Thanks

You left that part out. I guess you're on your own as I haven't looked at the iPhone SDK at all. Sorry.

Firefox is my default browser, why do links still sometimes open Safari?

Case in point: I installed onOne plugins to my Adobe Photoshop and during installation it asked if I wanted to watch a tutorial video. I clicked yes and even though Firefox is my default browser - and open - it opened Safari instead.
How do I stop this?
Anyone?
Thanks .

Here is the solution, and I have literally spent hours with this work-around since I am a PC user; this is my first apple (macbook air). I find it very upsetting that apple allows safari to do this.
1. Download firefox
2. Drag and drop the orange fox onto your desk top
3. Double click on the orange fox and open/install
4. In preferences set firefox as your default browser
I may have left out a few steps, and you may have to work this out by trial and error, but it actually does work.

Every time i open safari i get this pop up for myvdrive and i don't know what to do about it

every time i open safari i get another window that opens for my vdrive and i dont know if i have a virus or not and i dont know what to do about it

Since there aren't any "viruses" for Mac, you can't and don't have one.
You've most likely got a plug-in for myvdrive that's causing the popups.
Safari>Pereferences>Extensions
Look for MyVdrive and uninstall it.

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

You're welcome
You had Safari in full screen mode.

Home button opens a new window instead of just returning active tab to home

Running firefox 9.0.1 on Snow Leopard. After browsing for a short time clicking on the home button opens a new window instead of just returning theactive tab to home

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

Links that open new windows in Safari instead of new Tabs...grrrr!!!!

Why is it that when clicking on a link in a website sometimes open a new tab in the same window (which is great) an other times it opens a completely new window (annoying)? I have already ticked the box which tells safari to open new links in tabs rather than a new window, but it continues to open new windows...although not always. Firefox seems to handle this feature a lot better. Any ideas?

Funny you should post this. I was just looking for this answer as well and I found this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9343894&#9343894
thread. Basically, enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
in a terminal window and it will change to the behavior you desire. Change 'true' to 'false' to revert back.

How come when i open Safari on Windows it opens instead to Apple Store?[

How come when i open Safari in Windows it opens to the Apple Store instead of Safari?

Open Safari's preferences and check its homepage.
(79983)

When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

I would like to open links in a new window but cannot find where to put the setting. Have unchecked the "Open new windows in new tab instead" box in the Options dialog box.

When I click a link on a webpage or other software, I would like for it to open in a completely new window.

You can hold the Shift key and click the left mouse button a link to open that link in a new window.
The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs is only for links that specify a target window and you can divert such a link to a new tab instead.
