How do I get LR to open on the secondary monitor in a two monitor iMac Retina system using Yosemite?

No matter what settings I use in Mission Control or in TotalSpaces2, LR (latest version) keeps opening on the main screen and I have to move it to the secondary monitor each time I restart it or change catalogs. It is irritating but also problematic in that LR seems to get lost on occasion when I use the main monitor for full sized images and will seemingly randomly put the full frame image on top of the main LR grid and control screens (on the secondary monitor) which forces me to close LR to get back to normal. So far I haven't been able to figure out any sequence that causes this to happen but there probably is one.
I have:
1. Tried with the possible combinations of "Displays have separate spaces" and Spaces assignments available by right clicking the program's icon in the Dock.
2. Lowering the position of the secondary monitor in Display Arrangements (a strange suggestion via the Internet)
3. Very politely asking LR to behave like all of the other programs.
Any suggestions.

I have two monitors on my Mac. Running FF3.6.16 new windows now want to open on the wrong monitor. How do I get FF to open on the main display?

I have an eMac with a second display. I am running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) and Firefox 3.6.16. Everything was working fine until the other day I opened a second window in Firefox and dragged it to my secnd monitor. I later closed it. Since then all New Window requests, including when starting Firefox always open on the second monitor. How do I tell Firefox I want my main monitor has the primary monitor?

It has nothing to do with the Mac, but more with the software exporting the displays on the PC. A typical VNC server will generally only export the primary monitor.
What PC software are you using to export the display(s), and what Mac software are you using to view the PC displays? That may help someone come up with a workable solution for you (or not ).

How do I get InDesign to open on the second monitor of a two-monitor system?

My computer is connected to two identical monitors. I use them in extended mode. Monitor 1 includes my WIndows desktop; Monitor 2 does not
I want to open my InDesign files on "Monitor 2" which does NOT have impediments like a taskbar that wants to pop up.
By default, InDesign CS6 opens on Monitor 1, the one with the desktop. How do I change that setting?

How do i get firefox to open with the same window size every time, even if the last instance I had open had a different window size because I resized it??

My firefox opens new windows with a size that equals the current window I have open, or if I have no window open, the last window I closed. I would like to have it open windows the same size every time, regardless of what size the current window is, or what size the last window I closed was. I cannot find a setting or addin to do this anywhere. I have resizer which lets me change the size, but it is annoying that I can't have a default size for windows being opened. I open windows in new windows, not tabs.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

How do I get Firefox to open on the desktop from the task bar

When I click on the icon in the task bar, there is a streak off to the right of the screen. Another click and it streaks back to the icon. It will not show on my desktop. I used it one day, shut down and the next time I opened, I had this problem. Everything is on Firefox and I can't use it???

imsarah18,
Hmm that's definitely odd! How long have you been using the application on your phone? Do the messages show up on your phone?

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.

which is essentially the same as if you just change your home page
* How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help<br>https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
You might want to consider using a simpler home page, ideally one that is on your local drive, so you know Firefox is working even if you don't have a connection.
But your choice is much better than choosing a home page that just interfaces with a search site, when there is a builtin toolbar that can bring up any search that you care to add an engine for.

How can you get an actual person on the phone...My simple issue is taking days using email.

Anyone?

I did a restore to get rid of updated firefox. know it won't open how do i get it to open & get my tabs back

i did a restore to get rid of updated firefox. know it won't open. how do i get it to open? The reason I got rid of the update is because it would not create multipal tabs of the same website, & i lost my tabs to boot. can anyone help with this?

*Press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
*Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
*Open the URL in a new tab by using Alt + Enter on the highlighted entry.
*Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.
If you use a system restore then you have the risk that not all files are reverted to previous versions and you most likely have corrupted your Firefox installation.<br />
You will have to do a clean reinstall of Firefox and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).<br />
Your personal data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure not to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

Dear Jean:
It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
Open System Preferences.
Choose the Displays Icon
There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
Drag the toolbar to desired display
Let me know if this helps at all!

It's almost certainly too late.

How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

Are you sure you haven't upgraded Pages on your Mac to Pages 5?
Check your Applications folder and the Applications/iWork folder. You may have 2 versions on your Mac.
