Can I prevent my book opening with the contents page?

After the intro video I would like my book to open with the first page full screen, not with the contents. Is this possible?
Thanks

I have noticed that most of the books I've bought on the ibook store start on the first page rather than the contents, what program are they built with?
You can create a standard epub with many programs. InDesign is probably the most popular, but you can also use Pages. Apple even makes a template available:

Why won't my old Pages docs open with the old Pages application?

I have a whole suite of complex documents created with the old Pages - which will not open with the old Pages application. Why not? The new app appears not to have things I need - like autoflow to complex linked boxes for example, or easy kerning.
Is there a workaround to so that I can access my documents without having to redo them? I don't want to use the new app. It's hideous, lumpen and unsophisticated. Why has a decent product been replaced with crap?

Can you clarify that?
What version is "the old Pages"?
What version of OSX?
What happens when you try and open an old document with the "old Pages"?
Are you really saying that Pages '08/'09 won't open Pages 5 documents?
Because that is not a surprise, you need to Export the newer version documents back.

Why does safari 5.1 open with the last page from previous session?

I don't want Safari 5.1 to open with the last page from the previous session. How do I stop it?

I too would like to manually or automatically open the windows and tabs I had open from the previous session, but I want to configure this per application. In a browser for instance, I can have many windows and tabs open and it can take a lot of time to refresh them all. I would like to manually pick the windows/tabs I want to reopen. Before Lion I could restore the last session manually and I liked that ability. Firefox has a plugin for this And what if I reboot with no internet access, they all time out. With a word processor, spreadsheet, or xcode on the other hand, I like to start where I left off. Everything comes from local disk so the restart is fast. I want to control this by app, not globally. Sometime Apple can really be blind to the real needs of users, and that is to configure their envoronment the way the user needs, not the way Apple envisions the need of users.
So Apple, please give ME the opportunity to choose the apps that auto reload the last sesion and give me a manual way to reload the last session on all apps that qualify.

How can I replace my iTunes Library with the contents of my iPod, including the playlists?

I tried transferring the purchases, but it didn't move my playlists over. I have also tried backing my old library up to a disc, and putting it in my new computer, but it still didn't transfer my playlists.
Is there any way I can transfer my old itunes library from my old computer to my new computer, including the playlists?
I have heard people talk about replacing itunes with the contents of the ipod, but I'm not sure how to do it.

check out this post by Zevoneer.
if you have an iPod Touch, there are PhoneView and iRip.
as for playlists, check out the posts by Chris CA in this discussion.

Let's look at your stylesheet -
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url(assets/images/Business%20Men%20In%20Reception%20Col.2.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #003;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
It's a good idea not to use spaces or any punctuation in your filenames when working for the web.
#header {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
#heading {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 36px;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: normal;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
There's no need to specify the default values (font-variant:normal) or to specify auto margins for any block element without an explicitly defined width. And wouldn't it make more sense to put the font style on the body tag, where it will inherit into the rest of the page than to restate it as you have done in the next rule?
#bodytext {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 25px;
font-variant: normal;
width: 300px;
#container {
width: 960px;
position: relative;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
.rightimg {
float: right;
margin-left: auto;
padding-right: 40px;
#heading #navbar ul li {
padding: 30px;
</style>
Margin-left:auto can't work without knowing what the width of the element is.... Keep your CSS lean and targeted - it will help you to debug your layouts.

Its loading a page before even i type in the right URL. how can i prevent forefox from automatically loading the suggested page before i hit enter?

when i type in address bar, its great that the url is automatically filled in based on the history of browsing. but i dont want the page to be loading at the same instant. for ex. if i want to type thehindu.com, once i type 't' its taking for granted that i am typing thermopedia.com and completes the url and loads the page at the same time. I appreciate the url suggestion but not the page loading at the same time. this wastes my data usage (Highly inefficient).
To complicate the problem, when i type the second letter sometimes it gets appended to the already auto completed url and heads to search for the completely messy words in the default search engine.
Basically the addressbar has become useless and so is firefox usage. I'm completely frustrated and spoiled over an hour fighting the issue. please provide options to control the loading of the page automatically even if the url is automatically filledin.

Try some basic troubleshooting.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Want Firfox to ctrl+n to open with the current page.

When opening a new tab with ctrl+n older versions gave a choice as to what page was loaded. I think the options were: 1) blank page (as current Firefox does), 2) home page, and (3) current page. The current page option is the one I want, but can not find a setting for.
It is very useful when you want to follow a link on your current page, but retain the "back" function on the original tab.

Why does Safari open with the last page viewed from the previous session rather than my homepage?

The only way I can get Safari to open to my homepage when starting a new session is to be sure to close all windows from the previous session before quitting Safari. If I don't go through this process, Safari opens to the last site I accessed before quitting. What am I missing?

I am having the same problem but in Mountain Lion the "System Preferences -> General -> Number of recent items -> UNTICK "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." option is not available. The only thing now is "Close windows when quitting an application." which I have ticked. Under recent items there is only a list of numbers.
This seems strange to me. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Firefox always opens with the last page from previous session. Setting this right (e.g. changing this to start up with blank or startup page) in Options/General, doesn't work.

Screenshot of the options panel (that doesn't work):

All these "solutions" that have been offered to go to your settings and set your option to go to home page are 1.) not working and 2.) kind of a"duh". How many of us do you think have been set up like that for a few years now? And yet all of a sudden (i.e. new version of Firefox that apparently needs a little more testing...), this problem is occurring. It's getting really annoying too. We have defined home pages for a reason. Please correct this so we can return to them when we log in.

How do I stop Firefox from opening with the last site I was on when I closed instead of using my home page?

whenever I open firefox after closing it down, it always opens with the last page I was on. I have the settings to point to a specific homepage and have it set to always open on the homepage, but it doesn't.

I am having a similar problem, I'm using "Show my home page" on start-up but firefox decides to always open to the last page visited regardless. I also generally close Firefox using the red X or with alt+f4. This problem is especially annoying when the last page 'visited' is an annoying pop-up ad that wasn't been caught by the pop-up blocker.

Can't get safari to open with home page

I have set google as my homepage in Preferences, but Safari invariably opens with the last page I had used before quitting. I've tried both "Set as Current Page" (being on google, of course), as well as typing in google's URL.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, copy and paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash
Try resetting your home page.

How do I get Safari to open at the home page?

In Lion Safari 5.1 starts with the last page viewed. Can I switch this to starting with the Home Page, as it did with earlier OSs?

In Safari preferences General tab set the option to Open New windows with Homepage. If that alone doesn't work go to System preferences General Pane and toward the bottom of the pane you'll see Restore Windows when quitting and reopening apps. Uncheck that. That should do it for you but there is an issue with this in Lion and for some this didn't work. After doing all this restarting the computer may help. If not wait for an update.

Firefox opens with last page viewed, even though I have open with my home page checked

Even though I have "open with my home page" checked in options, firefox intermittently opens with the last page viewed.

Hi prym8t,
You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.
