Disable New Window Animation in Lion

In Lion when you open up a new window, instead of just appearing like it did in 10.6 it animates getting bigger from the background. Any way to get rid of that?

use this..
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false
it works!

How to open link in new window using Mountain Lion

When I upgraded to Mountain Lion, opening a link closes the window I'm in when it opens the new one. Example, I'm in email, click on a link, and then have to reopen email. The back button doesn't work. Where is the setting to change this so my current window remains open? I use Safari.

The option to open in a new tab or new window is in Safari > Preferences > Tabs > Open pages in tabs instead of windows: Never, Automatically, or always.

Window Configuration on Desktop and temp disable New Window

Hi All.
I seem to find myself constantly needing to arrange three or four windows in list mode so that I can move things from my Desktop, Laptop, Time Capsule and iDisk. Sort of a major sort mode if you will.
I always find myself arranging three or four sets of Finder Windows on the Desktop, snuggling them up against each other - all while trying to avoid too major an overlap or some kind of overlap configuration that lets me jump and jive from one window to another all while dragging and dropping files and folders.
Is there a better way to do this?
Is there a way to save this configuration?
Is there a way to use the laptop screen as a kind of second display where if I roll off the left hand side of my desktop window I end up in the Finder on my laptop (a stretch I know)?
Also(!) is there a way to temporarily prevent the Open Folder in New Finder Window action that I have set? Right now if I have the windows organized the way I need them - but I need to just open a subfolder on the ,say the Laptop Finder Window, I always end up with /another/ Finder window which I then have to figure out what to do with...
Can I automagically dock these things somehow?
Anyway, I have the added complication of not understanding Expose or Spaces yet as I have tried to stay away from them for fear that their buttons interfere with my MacBookPro buttons or the buttons I use when running WIndows in BootCamp (I know my understanding is totally butchered here but I figure to try to clear this up soon).
Thanks for anything wonderfully helpful on this.

You might try a third-party utility such as Witch to create window sets that can be configured and restored. Look for it and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How to turn off window animations?

How do you turn off the window animations in Mountain Lion. It feels slow and I can't start typing or deleting things until the window is finished animated. For example when in adobe light room, when I hit the delete key to delete a photo I then have to wait until the animation stops before comfirming the delete. In Snow Leopard it was seamless, much faster and it kept track of what I had typed even if the window was not up yet. Thanks for any help

I'm hoping there may be a Terminal command to do this.
Thank you.

This is in Pages '09 (4.0.5), OS X 10.6.8.

Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari? I used this a lot and really miss it!

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!

Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

FF4 on Snow Leopard: Cmd-N, "New Window", doesn't open, is in Window menu, but isn't accessible. Add-ons all disabled.

I installed FF4 yesterday onto my Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Today I can't open a "new window" using either the "New Window" menu under File, or using Cmd-N. (Don't know if it would have worked yesterday - I didn't try.) I disabled all (4) of my add-ons, restarted and the new windows are still failing to open. The new windows are listed in the "Window" menu, but even using that, I can't open them. Showing all open windows, using the built-in Mac "Expose" (F9) feature also doesn't show these windows.

Well, today my New Window functionality is working fine, not fast, but it works. Nothing has changed - no new software or OS updates. Oh, well, thanks for looking at this.

Finder not opening new window automatically in Mountain lion 10.8

I recently upgraded to mountain lion 10.8 from Snow Leopard 10.7. Before when I rebooted the computer the Finder would always open a new window. Now it does not and I have to open a new window every time. Is that the way it's supposed to be or is that a bug?

Disable the sliding animation that occurs when switching desktops via command → or ← in Mountain Lion

I would like to disable the sliding animation that occurs when switching desktops via command → or ← in Mountain Lion. It gives me motion sickness!

No third party applications installed; no gestures changed. It just starts acting up like I described a few times a day. I'll be browsing the internet and go to switch desktops and it suddenly doesn't work.

Address won't populate when creating a new tab or a new window. back & forward, favicon and refresh disabled. What do i do to get these back?

Firefox 6. When opening a new tab or new window, back and forward arrows, favicon and refresh are disabled. Url field will not populate with current window, but if I click on the favicon the url will populate with the current web site. At the same time a message is display "this web site does not supply identity information".

I disabled all plug-ins and extensions. the problem has been resolved. Now I will enable each one individually to find out which one was the offender.

How do I disable finder from opening a new window upon mount?

When an external drive is mounted (such as an iPod in disk mode) Finder opens a new window showing the root of the new drive.
I realise why this happens, but is there any way of disabling this feature?.
Cheers,
Ebsy

It seems that there is a special flag that can be set or cleared on the volume to control that behavior. There is an Apple developer article about it, with source code, that might help.
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1449.html
I have to believe that someone has packaged up that code into a utility that can be found.

How can I disable the event sound played when a new window is opened?

When Firefox starts, or when a new window is opened there is an annoying click.
How can I disable this?
The only way I have been able to stop it is by disabling all event sounds from the control panel but I'd rather just disable this particular sound.

No, it's Windows XP. Hmmm, I don't know! I only started noticing it recently and as far as I remember, the only new add on is NoScript. I found the event that was being triggered (Start Connection) and disabled the sound in Windows. So the problem is solved in that I don't have the annoying sound ... but don't know why it started and hope nothing sinister is going on.
