Can I prevent Mac OS X Lion from opening previous files when applications are launched?

Since upgrading to Lion each time I click on a file (and the program opens) in addition to the file I clicked on also the most recent file I had open in that program opens also.  Is there any way to prevent this action?

  • How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

    How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?  I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

    Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

  • Can I install Max OS X Lion from Tiger 10.4.11? If so, how can I do it?

    The questions is simple,
    I want to buy Mac OS X Lion and install it on my macbook. I am using OS X Tiger 10.4.11. The problems is that it seems that in order to instal OS X Lion it is necessary to have the last version of OS X 10.5 (Snow Leopard).
    So the question is, Can I install Max OS X Lion from Tiger 10.4.11? If so, how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Can I install Mac OS X Lion on an external FireWire800 drive?

    Can I install Mac OS X Lion on an external FireWire drive? I have bought a Lion Thumb Drive. I'd like to install Lion on the FW drive and then boot from there. The FW drive is a brand-new LaCie D2 Quadra 2 TB drive that has FW 800, 400, USB, and esATA connectivity.  Can't find any manual describing how to do this. Any help appreciated. The more detail, the better. Thanks.

    Yes, you can. When you run the installer you will get to a screen where you will see the default target drive, usually "Macintosh HD." Under the icon you will see a link to display other drives. Click on that so you will see the external drive you have connected. Select that then continue the installation.
    For simplicity connect the drive using FW800.

  • Can i reinstall OS X Mountain Lion from scratch from a Time Machine Backup

    Can i reinstall OS X Mountain Lion from scratch from a Time Machine Backup
    Asking because i'm a new mac user having used windows since 3.11, wanting to know if the Time Machine bacup was enough or will i need to make a seperate OS install disk or usb drive ???
    thanx in advance guys

    Lizardcarter's instructions are correct, you can (and possibly should) consider a second external HD to create a bootable clone. Redundancy in backups is a very good thing because backup can fail too. A bootable clone is an external HD that has a mirror of your internal HD so if the internal HD does crash you can boot from the clone, something that cannot be done from TM. This means you will be down for minutes and can resume work until you have had the internal HD replaced. Never use an external HD for both TM and a bootable clone, each should have it's own EHD. The reason being is if the EHD crashes you have lost ALL of your backup and are dead, don't laugh it happens! To create a bootable clone get either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both about $30) and you're pretty set. Many people on these forums (including myself) use that strategy and yes I have had a backup fail.

    Have you tried booting from the Recovery HD to reinstall Lion?
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    You will need the Apple ID and password used to purchase Lion. If you have not purchased Lion, then you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard then update it to 10.6.8 to access the App Store where you can purchase and download Lion under your own Apple ID. Or you can purchase the Apple USB Lion installer flash drive at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store.

    Can I upgrade to OS X Lion from a Macbook OS X 10.5.8?  Based on what I read I should be able to easily do this.  I am not a computer guru, just know enought to be dangerous:) 

    Upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrade to Snow Leopard, then update to 10.6.8      Snow Leopard Purchase
    Check that you computer is compatible with Mountain Lion
    Model Numbers                  Computer Compatibility - Apple 
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.         Application Compatibility
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren't compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Mountain Lion on.
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.        Computer Compatibility - Lion

  • Windows based accounting software QUICK BOOKS can run on Mac OS X Lion??????

    windows based accounting software QUICK BOOKS can run on Mac OS X Lion??????

    Oops! Sorry pmittal. Completely missed that you said "windows" at the beginning of your post. Thomas is absolutely correct. Intuit is like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde with QuickBooks. The Windows Pro version is full of features. You pay the same amount for the Mac Pro version, but it is severely crippled in comparison.
    Believe it or not, Intuit actually has a company policy that the Mac version will never be feature compatible with the Windows version. How's that for treating paying customers as less than second rate! Wish I were making that up, but it's true. Read the blog link. In particular:
    Forget the fact that Intuit’s Mac products have always paled in comparison to their Windows counterparts by missing 90% of the features that Windows users have long enjoyed. Forget the fact that Intuit has worked overtime to make sure that their Mac & Windows products would never be cross-platform compatible (this is an internal corporate rule at Intuit).
    And this, later in the article:
    Many years before QuickBooks was resurrected for the Mac in 2006, a smug Intuit employee at Macworld Expo told me, “We don’t need to update QuickBooks, because it’s still the No. 1 best-selling accounting package for Mac. Mac users still purchase it, even without any new updates.” Seems like their attitude hasn’t changed much.
    I know most folks consider blogs unreliable, but I first read this same information at a much more reliable site, I just can't seem to locate it again.
    Despite all that, I do use QuickBooks for Mac. Why? One, that's what I started with for my small business because "QuickBooks" is what you always hear to use. I had no idea at the time how crippled it was. Good news (for me) there is that it does more than everything I need, seeing as how I don't need much for an in-home business. Two, my accountant is much happier when he comes over to finalize entries that he already basically knows the program instead of having to wade through something completely unfamiliar, such as the greatly superior AccountEdge (There are two Mac accounting programs with this exact same name. One is pretty expensive, the other is fairly cheap). The one linked to in the blog is the less expensive version, with the Basic version going for $99.
    I'd consider switching, but the other packages can't import QuickBooks data. Or at least not accurately. I have too many years of data invested in QuickBooks to consider trying to switch now. One of the other Mac accounting packages offer (or used to) a service to translate your data at so much per record. Well, with thousands of records, that would cost hundreds of dollars. Forget it. So I'm kind of stuck, like it or not. The only real way out of it is to run Windows in a VM and import my Mac QuickBooks data into the Windows version. But since the Mac version does do all I need, that would be rather pointless.
