Command-T opens new window not new Tab with Snow Leopard

Does anyone else have this issue? Command-T opens new window not new Tab with SL.
And yes all my settings are correct!!

Greetings,
If your preferences for Tabs are correctly set (the top two checkboxes are checked) and it's still opening a new window, then it would seem your preferences may be corrupt. In that case, you should quit Safari, go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
Then restart Safari, setup your preferences again, and test to see if it works.

Hi b,
Have you restarted yet?

When I do a search, with MSN as my homepage, it pops up in a new window not a tab like it used to. MSN says it is Firefox related. How do I fix this? I have the option selected to open new windows in tabs instead and it still won't work.

I use Firefox 4.0.1 and have MSN set as my homepage. Recently, even with the option set to make windows open in tabs instead, if I do searches on the MSN page, the results pop up in a new window. I contacted MSN and they said it is something to do with Firefox. It didn't use to do this, even after initially upgraded to 4.0.1, but started about a week ago and even with me doing nothing to my computer. How do I get this to stop and go back to new tabs instead?
It does not do this using Google, AOL, Yahoo, or another other search, just MSN/Bing.

That's strange. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is changing your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? Also have you tried uninstalling & re-installing flash? If you need help un-installing Flash see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html. You also could try safe mode. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Safe+Mode .

Hotmail opens new window not new tab

I have used firefox for a long time and had no problems. Now, all of a sudden when I open my bookmarks or hotmail they open a new window and not a tab. I never changed anything to make this happen it just started happening. I turned my computer on and restarted it but it didn't help. I already tried different things and then I went on firefox support and I read my problem on the forum and what I should do about it. (I have a mac) Someone said to go to about:config and then go to browser.link.open_newwindow and chage it to 3 but when I typed in about:config it says warning this could void your warranty do not go here unless you know what you're doing! Needless to say, I got scared and stopped!!

You posted with an old and no longer supported Firefox 3.0.6 version.
You should update to a more recent Firefox 3.6.6 (or 3.5.10) version.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

IDVD not working right with Snow Leopard...a possible fix

I was having the following issue with iDVD and my new fresh install on a new hard drive of snow leopard 10.6.4:
iDVD would open to the screen where you chose what you want to do
I would click create a new project and get to name it
Nothing would happen but I knew the program was still running. I could see it in the activity monitor
I would go to quit iDVD and it would ask me to save changes and the beach ball would start spinning and I would have to force quit from the dock
Then I found this post after looking litterally all day for a fix....these instructions worked for me and my iDVD is now working normally...
(1) Go this folder:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Framew orks/
(2) There should be 3 aliases there:
ImageIO.framework
ImageKit.framework
QuartzComposer.framework
(3) In my case, the QuartzComposer.framework was actually a folder. I removed this and created a new alias to
/System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzComposer .framework
After making the new alias, iDVD now works just fine. Not sure why this frameworks folder had become damaged like this. I am hoping that there are no negative effects on any of my other applications, but I've kept a backup of the original folder just in case.
I moed the quartzcomposer folder to 2 levels back and made an alias and put it in the A/frameworks folder and viola...iDVD worked for me! I am a happy mac user now

Thanks, had exactly the same problem.
Switched to administrator
$ su adminusername
Navigated to the folder
$ cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
Listed the contents of the folder
$ ls -le@
Renamed the folder QuartzComposer.framework
$ sudo mv QuartzComposer.framework/ QuartzComposer.framework.old/
Replaced with a symbolic link to the correct framework
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzCompose r.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
iDVD works!!!

Windows 7 install issue with Snow Leopard

Hey Guys!
Just upgraded my Macbook Pro (Unibody Late 2008) to Snow Leopard and did all software updates. I then partitioned the drive to install Windows. When installing Windows it would only install if I reformatted the partition I wanted to install it on. So I did that. After hours of installing and udating Windows 7 I found that I did not have bootcamp on the bar at the bottom. I tried to upgrade to BootCamp 3.1 but it says Bootcamp 3.0 is needed and not present.
How do I install Bootcamp 3.0 from Windows?
How do I get back to Mac OS? I have been stuck (ugh!!!) in Windows since Friday...
I tried to download the pdf file to read about installing Windows 7 but Windows will not install Acrobat Reader (I really hate windows), fought with it for 1 hour trying to install it.
anyways thanks in advance for the help
KK

Hey Guys
I eventually solved the Boot Camp Problem but then shortly after that had a different problem crop up.
It will not boot my Mac OS, it says the partition is corrupted. Even if I boot from an install disk, it will not mount the Mac portion of the Hard drive. Best info I can get on the issue is that part of my B Tree is too large? Mac Repair utility will not fix it.
Suggestions? Even if I cannot use the partition as a bootable drive I would like to get my data from that disk. Unfortunately I do not seem to have a backup of the data on that drive.
thanks
KK

Popups still occur and new windows not in tabs; firefox not secure

After having read the excuse that Firefox can't stop all popups because malware may be calling unpublished APIs,
WHY DONT YOU TREAT INTERNAL window-create APIs as if they were external network requests that require secure key authentication?!?
Since this is a particularly sensitive operation, causing much pain when it is not secured against hackers,
DONT TREAT IT LIKE A TYPICAL INTERNAL API!!!

Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
* Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold (user set)'''.
* Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
-> In the '''Filter bar''' type '''browser.link.open_newwindow'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.link.open_newwindow''' and click '''Modify'''
* change the value to '''3'''
* click OK
-> In the '''Filter bar''' type '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' and click '''Modify'''
* change the value to '''0''' (zero)
* click OK
-> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
Check and tell if its working.

New MBP - should I stay with Snow Leopard or jump to Lion?

Running Final Cut Studio 3 I have just upgraded our older MBP15 Core Duo to a nearly new MBP15 Quad-core i7. I will install FCS3 on it and wonder if Lion is stable with FCS now? Any thoughts?

I agree with Robert .. You really need to ask yourself why you would need Lion. I have a total of 7 various MACs from MBP to Air's and MAC Pro all stillrunning Snow Lep ..all because it does all I need and I can use FCS3 in a very stable and workflow way that suits me. I know the foibles and have no need for FXPX either. I see Robert runs both and have read on many occasions other doing the same. I have also read others having issues .. it seems to be dependant on how you upgrade .. I have no need so do not change .. I also drive a four year old car for the same reason ..

IBM Infoprint 1145 not working properly with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 (Network)

Since the last OS update to 10.6.4, IBM Infoprint 1145 printer doesn't work properly. We have the printer working as a network printer with all the protocols enabled and now it takes almost 5 minutes to print a page.
No problem with the rest of network printers.
I have reinstalled the drivers again and it behaves the same.
With 10.6.3 and older versions the printer worked perfectly.
Any ideas?

Solved... The problem was due to the use of an external DNS. Using the DNS servers of my organization within the network configuration solved the issue.

QT Pro 7 Export to web is not the same with Snow Leopard?

Before updating to Snow Leopard, I would use the "Export to Web" feature in Quicktime Pro 7. The desktop option would give me a small file size with a resolution of 853x496. Why does it now give me a much larger file size at 1280x720? This is slowing down my workflow, please advise.

Hotmail (only) now opens in a window not a tab

As of yesterday - with NO downloads or updates to anything having been made - MSN.com opens Hotmail (when I click the link from that page) in a new window, not a tab. Any link in any email, however, opens in a new tab in the original window. When I og out of Hotmail, it returns me to MSN so the process gets repeated every time I start Firefox & it loads my normal set of tabs. Why has this suddenly started? How do I fix it (return to opening Hotmail in a tab)?

Thanks for the 'scroll wheel' suggestion - that does work. However it does not answer what bugs the hell out of me as a four-decades' experienced software designer/coder who's overly cautious about downloading, installing, upgrading, etc et al - having done none of those things, WHY has this suddenly (and thus inexplicably) begun happening? I'd love to blame it on MS since they so often 'tweak' their stuff (he said overly politely), but...

FireWire ports on display not working with Snow Leopard Mac Pro

I just bought a new quad core Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and I have connected it to my three year- old Apple 23 inch cinema display and everything works fine....except for the Firewire 400 ports on the display. They no longer recognize my external iSight camera or external hard drives. And of course the devices will not connect to the computer's 800 ports. Anyone come across this, or have any solutions? I've tried connecting and reconnecting and have repaired permissions. Thanks.

This means that my Firewire 400 ports on the display are no longer supported by the computer?
They need a FireWire connection to the computer. With older computers, the FireWire cable from the display would plug in to a computer FW400 port to provide the connection. With FW800 only computers, you need the adapter.

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

When right clicking to open link in new window (not tab) foxfire immediately switches windows rather than opening new window in background

Just updated to foxfire 15.0, and now each time I open a link in a new window foxfire will switch immediately to that newly opened window rather than opening the new window in the background as it did before I updated to 15.0. I am aware of the option to check or uncheck switching to new tabs immediately, but I am speaking of opening a link in a new window, not tab. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
