Feature Request: Force Safari to use one window

This feature is available on Mozilla Firefox. Is there a way to prevent Safari from opening more than one window and force all (target="_blank") links to tabs?

Sorry, should have said I know that. I would like to make the NEW WINDOW option the default. So I don't have to open the menu each time.

How do I make Safari stay with one window as I browse?

I don't use tabs at all. When I browse on Safari, starting on my homepage, every time I click a link, a new window pops open. After a few minutes, I end up with a ton of windows open - as I X out, I end up having to X out way more pages than I used to. This seems to be a recent development. I prefer to just use one window and click the back arrow, unless I specifically drag down the "New Window" from the File drop-down. I'm on Safari 6.1.4 and using 10.8.5 on my Air.

x out way more pages?
The x only appears on tabs which you mentioned you don't use.
Not sure what you mean.

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

Premiere Pro Feature Request forum on Reddit - Useful?

Hello all,
I have no idea if this will be valuable to the community, but I haven't been able to find a forum thread focused exclusively on Premiere Pro feature requests, so I made a subreddit doing just that.
I'm a new user of Premiere Pro. Switched from FCP 7 which I was using exclusively for years professionally.
In my daily work I often discover simple and useful things that I utilized all the time in FCP are just not possible in Premiere Pro. I like Premiere, but there are many little things that I wish it did better.
Every time I've submitted feature requests to Adobe, they feel like a drop in the bucket.
I hope with this subreddit, we can maybe band together and be vocal about the things we really want and get noticed in the process. You can find the subreddit here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Premiere_Pro_Requests/
Thoughts?

a forum thread focused exclusively on Premiere Pro feature requests
These can be discussed among users in any thread you like, preferably a different thread for each request or topic, but to make sure Adobe sees it, you have only one avenue.

Cannot force Safari to use Adobe Reader in Leopard for pdf

Vanguard.com only supports download of pdfs on a Mac if Safari is using Adobe Reader. (Yes, that's totally awesome.)
I can't seem to force Safari to do that; it will only use Safari's built-in pdf reader.
- In Adobe Reader 8.1.1's preferences, the option "Display PDF in browser using" is greyed out.
- In Adobe Reader, selecting Help -> Repair Adobe Reader Installation says there is nothing to repair.
- /Library/Internet Plug-ins and ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins do not contain AdobePDFViewer.plugin, nor can I find it anywhere on my machine.
- I've reinstalled Adobe Reader 8.1.1 a number of times already, to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
TMIA,

Take a look at this topic : Adobe Reader 8.0 - Heads UP!

Using one Windows 7 64-bit Disk to install on different machines with different licenses

I have Windows 7 64-bit full install disk that I purchased when I built my system. Obviously it came with its own key, which I installed on my custom built system. I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex GX620 computer that I want to use as an
HTPC. It came with Windows 7 64-bit installed. Both of these Windows are 7 64-bit Home Premium. Unfortunately, the Dell has only got an 80GB HDD. I want to upgrade to a 1TB. I also want no problems with the Windows so don't feel
comfortable doing an image from the 80GB to the 1TB, so I want to do fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit. The Dell came with a Windows 7 license key sticker on the side. My question is: Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit on the Dell
with the new 1TB HDD using my Windows 7 64-bit full install disk and the license key on the side of the Dell computer and activate it with no problems?

Q. "Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit on the Dell with the new 1TB HDD using my Windows 7 64-bit full install disk and the license key on the side of the Dell computer and activate it with no problems?"
A. Yes, but you'll likely have to "activate by phone".

How do I force Safari to use Windows Media Player as my default WMV player.

I am subscribed to a educational program called "the Epson Online Experience", and the entire program is in Windows Media Player videos. I was using Safari and Mac OS 10.3.9 with no problem what so ever, until Quick Time updated itself. Now I can't get WMP to play at all in Safari, or in Camino or IE either. The browsers just keep trying to play the link in Quick Time.
I did download Flip4Mac, but with no luck. The links now appear to open, appear to be downloading the buffer, but will stay on that screen for hours if I allow it.
Does anyone know how to make Windows Media Player the default media player in Safari? or for that matter, in Camino (or if I MUST, I guess I would be willing to try it in IE too if I could make it work.
Thanks for the help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions. Your post seems to have been lost in a sea of Safari problems.
Usually items triggering media players create a file, which is downloaded into your system. Check your download folder for the file. If you can't find it, access the same file again via Safari.
Once you locate the file on your HD, click on it. Then, command key + I will bring up the info panel for the file (or simply select "more info" in the preview panel if you're in the finder's column mode). Go to the bottom where you'll see "open with". There, you see "quicktime" listed as the app. for opening the file. Click on the drop down menu and find the Windows player and select it.
Back to the info. panel - select "change all". This will revert all files of this type on your HD, plus future files to the Windows Media Player. Double click on the file to activate the video. Future selections in Safari will automatically open the correct media player. One other note, for the player to open automatically, you must check "open safe files after downloading" in your Safari Preferences>General panel.
Post back with results.

Feature request: Switching Safari windows as in a "stack"

BEFORE you answer, please know that I DID know that Apple believes the document switching IS like a stack of papers, but it's not.
To make it work for the most common usage (two documents) it was "thgought" as a stack, but changed (at last time?) to throw the last document you worked with BELOW the next one, instead of at the bottom of the stack, giving no options to the rest of cases in which you work with more than 2 docs (common in an Internet Browser).
That's the way the whole system works, but in the browsers, we atypically work with MANY documents, and it's a pain for our brain to "predict" where the next document is, so we have to visually "scan" all of them (worse in thumbnails) until reaching the "next one in line".
I know, it's not a line, but it's not a stack either.
Please give the old "option" key the value Apple used to give, by offering an extra option, in this case preventing that switching-through-the-foremost-documents behavior, and let me work with more than 3 documents easily. The option key is sitting there, doing nothing for this action.
More reasons why the current behavior kills my neurons and predicting system here https://discussions.apple.com/message/18759090#18759090
Thanks.

Thanks Carolyn.
I'll follow your link.
I'd also like to know others input. Sometimes I think I'm the only ones who is used to shortcuts, or I have to wait until forum residents quit writing (others might think I'm taken care of and not replying) so people who actually uses the Mac to work can opine.
Anyway, here's how I use the browser when working. I think it's very common, or at least enough for an "option".

IPad Feature Request -- Force App Close

I would like to request a feature for the iPad. I recently updated to OS 4.2.1 and love Multitasking, but sometimes I want to force an application to exit. I know you can switch to a different app from the one you want to close, bring up the multitasking tray, hold your finger on the app you want to close, then tap the read "-" symbol to force the application to close, but this process is cumbersome. You used to be able to hold down the Exit button for 4 seconds to force an application to quit. I would like this feature back! If I press the Exit button quickly, leave the application in the background and show it on the multitasking tray. If I hold the Exit button for 4 seconds, the iPad should force the app to close, return to the home screen, and NOT show it on the multitasking tray (a true force quit). Apple, please consider adding this feature back. It would really help with closing troublesome applications!
Thanks,

We are just users like you so your post will do nothing.
You need to tell Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/
You also might want to read up on how the multitasking works as you would realise that your request would not achieve anything useful.

OVI Suite forced update prevents use with Windows ...

I was using an older version of Ovi suite due to the later versions being incompatible with Windows 7 Starter. This has worked absolutely perfectly for me for months, however, this morning I was shocked to see that I was faced with an ultimatum from Nokia, either update or not use the program at all. SInce Windows 7 Starter edition does not work with the latest editions (according to the website), Nokia has essentially (and deliberately), prevented Windows 7 Starter users from using Ovi suite regardless of whether they were using the service perfectly well before on older versions.
If this is actually the case, then quite frankly I'm extremely dissapointed, it's a very poor decision to force users to do anything, especially if it prevents some from using the program without being forced to pay for software updates that they don't otherwise need.
I have been a Nokia customer on and off for at least 10 years now. If what I said above turns out to be true, I won't be buying a Nokia product ever again. A real shame.

Karren,
Ditto on the thought. I am a new Nokia customer. I was woowed by the Nokia Maps but disappointed by the problems I have recently encountered. I shouldn't have to take hours on this to simply find out that there is no simple solution to my problem. Quite frustrated!

Force application to use one network interface

I want one application's traffic to go though one interface (ppp0), but everything else using the regular eth0.
The app connects to many IPs, and recieves connections from many others, so I cannot route by IP.
At the moment I use ppp0 as the default route and everything goes through there.
Is there no way to force the app into using ppp0, then I could set the default back to eth0. Does there exist a wrapper, etc. to do this? It seems like a simple scenario which is easily doable from a theory POV.
Thanks

I have two kids with ipod touches and we use one windows computer, can i use one apple id or do they need 2 seperate ids

WE were a one itouch family and then my son got one on his birthday. My daughter had an account full with gift cards. When I added my son's to the computer I used the same apple id and now everything is being billed to my cc, when she purchases even though she has credit it goes straigh to my CC. Help, how do I fix this?

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

Feature Request UI builder: More use of Ctrl + ... similar to LabVIEW

Would like to see more use of the Control + Key for common features that are in LabVIEW. Run for example is Ctrl + R

I agree this option would be great to have built in automatically. It might also be nice to allow auto-indixing of 2d (or more) arrays going into for loops where it will iterate through all dimensions an grab the (i,j) single elements and add an i and j index inside the loop, instead of nesting loops inside of each other. I guess these features cater to the power users who want to save any amount of coding possible.

I lost my only navigation tool bar, so I can only open one window at a time, and can't use google. Help.

I'm not sure what I did, but I right clicked on my google tool bar (which I use since I can't find the Firefox navigation toolbar) and I somehow disabled it. Now I can only use one window at a time, and if I go to a website, I can't go to another without closing my current one so I can go to my homepage, which is google.

If the Menu Bar is hidden then press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Feature Request: iTunes support CD drive letters A&B

Not sure how to submit this feature request to Apple for iTunes for Windows enhancement so I figured I would start at the forum.
I know in the "dark ages" drive letters A&B where pretty much reserved for floppy drives. Not sure how many computers are actually still in use running Windows XP and up that still have one of those drives.
Therefore, for some time now these two drive letters have gone unused. C: in general was the first HD letter, and CD-Roms (or now DVD/Blu-Ray) drives started somewhere with D: and above depending on your computer configuration.
I changed my setup a while ago and named my two DVD drives A & B since Windows supports it just fine, as do a lot of other programs, with the exception of iTunes :-(. For some reason, iTunes will not support reading CDs from drives A or B, even if Windows autorun feature is enabled asking if it should import the CD into iTunes. Apple, what's up with that? Why actual restrict reading music from CD drives assigned letters A & B? Is this an old piece of code still lingering around in iTunes?
So, simple feature request for an upcoming iTunes release, please enable reading/important CD music from drives labeled A&B so that we can start using these letters again as well.
Anybody else want to support this simple request that should be fairly easy for Apple to implement?

We're a user-to-user community, so there's no guarantee that an Apple person will see your request. But you can make enhancement requests directly to the Apple folks if you like. Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:
