Hiding files when left clicking on the dock

From the "Dock", when I left click on "Preview" it shows the recent files I had viewed. How do I stop the files from showing up when I left click on "Preview"?

I've done that and it didn't work.
( I've quit Preview. I've opened Preview, then File, Clear Menu ) and these don't work as well.

  • When I open Thunderbird no windows will open on my desktop until I click "Hide Thunderbird" then click on the dock icon again, Mac OS10.8

    When I click on the dock icon to open Thunderbird, the menu at the top of the screen opens, but no windows, ie. Mail & Newsgroups, New Message, About Thunderbird, etc. will open on my desktop. I have to click on Hide Thunderbird, then click on the dock icon again, and then all of the windows I attempted to open become visible. This is on a Mac running OS 10.8.5, Thunderbird 3.0.11. All runs normally after this until I quite Thunderbird.

    Hello,
    Sorry you are frustrated. If you have improvements you would like to make, you can file them to the [[Suggestion Box]] and the Firefox logo in the top left with upside down arrow is the Firefox button containing menu items. Try a clean reinstall as instructed below to see if it resolved your issue.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

  • Dock hangs when left clicking on an icon

    Hi everyone!
    I've got an strange and intermittent problem with the leopard dock. Sometimes, when I left click on the dock, it stops working: it shows the left click menu of the application I've click but the dock stops updating the new applications I open and I can not click on any options of that menu.
    If I wait for some minutes, the left click menu disappears and the dock is updated, but if I left click again on it, it hangs again. The only way to fix it is restarting Mac OS X.
    What do you thing about this? Is there any workaround?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!

    That's an unusual issue, at least from what I've read, and from my
    limited experiences in Mac OS versions from 6.0 through 10.4.11.
    I'd suggest, if you have not already, try restarting the computer in
    SafeBoot, and when you finally arrive at a desktop and limited Finder
    to use GO and find the utilities folder, launch Disk Utility, and then
    repair disk permissions; then after it is done, note the repair & restart.
    There are some things which remain mysteries, and routine or preventative
    maintenance is among the best procedures and advice to help the system.
    I also have and use the utility interface tool by Titanium Software - OnyX.
    That downloads and runs free, though it is a donation-ware. And within it,
    are some helpful and perhaps dangerous tools. Within the Automation set
    is probably the most practical group, plus this tool's Preference should
    have the selection to 'restart when done' chosen, since it has to be done.
    Perhaps there are other ideas & answers; maybe some involve trial and error.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
    Best,

    Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit.  Now it just won't open.  When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens!  Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Since the last update, I cannot attach a file to my email in MobileMe. It has always worked until the latest update. Now, nothing happens when you click on the paper clip icon and 'choose' the file to add.

    I am using MobileMe on my Mac. Until the last update a few days ago, Firefox always allowed me to attach files to my emails. Now, when I click on the paper clip, and it takes to me find the file I want to attach, and I highlight the file I want to attach and click on 'open', nothing at all happens. the screen just goes back to my email. It always worked before, it does not now. It DOES work on Safari but I hate Safari, i want to use firefox.

  • Iweb keeps crashing when i click on the gallery page in the left hand colum

    iweb keeps crashing when i click on the gallery page in the left hand column? Does anyone know why this happens and what i can do to resolve it? I have tried deleting a file which i saw recommended but it hasn't made any difference

    Its possible that the page files, or individual image files are corrupted and you may have to consider rebuilding the page.
    Some people find that they can't even delete the page due to the fact that iWeb crashes as soon as they select it.
    If you have carried out the trouble shooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
    ... and the issue is still not resolved, I do have a method of deleting such pages which does work when I try it despite the claims from others that it is not possible.
    If you really have to delete the page you can post back here.

  • When i double click on and item in the firefox downloads window the item dosn't open, left clicking on the item still dose not give me the choice to "open". how to fix this problem thanks

    When i double click on an item in the firefox dowloads window the item dos'nt open.Left clicking on the item dose not give me the choice to "open" the item.
    the downloaded item is a pdf file of 59 kb, and was downloaded using adobe acrobat version 5

    I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
    I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
    And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
    All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
    Command N
    I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

    I just installed iTunes on my new laptop.  When I click on the desktop icon I receive a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.  I can't even find a file on my computer like the one referred to in the pop up.  I am currently considering keeping my old laptop if it is the only way for me to continue to access iTunes.  What should I do to fix this?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

  • The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

    Hello,
    I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
    There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
    1     if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
    2     I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details.  All that comes up is the main page of her website.
    I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
    Any ideas please?
    she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

    NO - not correct.  Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe.  You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
    MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting.  They are not taking any new subscriptions.
    On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11.  Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.

    I brought a video from a trusted website.  They sent me an e-mail with a link to use to download the video.  It is a mp3 video with 2.75 GB.  When I click on the link to download it seems to try but stops and won't do anything else.  It appears to be using IE.  I have Vista and have Quicktime, andTunes.  As you can probably tell from my wording I am out of my area of "expertise".  Any help would be most appreciated.  I sent an e-mail to the websites customer servide reporting the problem but have no idea when I will hear from them.

    mp3 is an audio file descriptor, not a video file type
    you need to check what  your trying to download

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • When I open Thunderbird, I can not see the inbox window. When I click on the icon in my dock (Mac) it's checked like it's open but I can't see it.

    This just started a couple of days ago, so not sure what I did. I also have to Force Quit to get Thunderbird to quit. When I click on the icon in the dock after it starts up the menu bar at the top is greyed out and it goes to Firefox not Thunderbird. Thanks for any help.
