How do I get Safari 8 to open to the last page?

With OS X Mavericks and Safari 7, I could have multiple tabs open with active pages and click the 'X' to close the window and then reopen later and all tabs/pages would still be there. Now with Yosemite and Safari 8, every time I close the window and reopen, it goes back to the Favorites window. I have 'Safari opens with: All windows from last session' selected. Any ideas? This was a clean install.

Hi Barry,
the view scale bug was on the list for an early fix
Fixed in the latest update (Numbers 3.0.1)
Numbers > Preferences > General > Default Zoom:
And it sticks with a document after Save . Reopen shows the Saved view.

I just downloaded Lion. Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited. How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

Why does safari 5.1 open with the last page from previous session?

I don't want Safari 5.1 to open with the last page from the previous session. How do I stop it?

I too would like to manually or automatically open the windows and tabs I had open from the previous session, but I want to configure this per application. In a browser for instance, I can have many windows and tabs open and it can take a lot of time to refresh them all. I would like to manually pick the windows/tabs I want to reopen. Before Lion I could restore the last session manually and I liked that ability. Firefox has a plugin for this And what if I reboot with no internet access, they all time out. With a word processor, spreadsheet, or xcode on the other hand, I like to start where I left off. Everything comes from local disk so the restart is fast. I want to control this by app, not globally. Sometime Apple can really be blind to the real needs of users, and that is to configure their envoronment the way the user needs, not the way Apple envisions the need of users.
So Apple, please give ME the opportunity to choose the apps that auto reload the last sesion and give me a manual way to reload the last session on all apps that qualify.

How do I get numbers spreadsheets to open at the last entry?

I work with Numbers spreadsheets often and find it very frustrating that on opening a document it opens at the top rather than at the last place of entry. My frustration is that some of the spreadsheets I work with are fairly long and require me to then scroll down a long way to pick up the spot I want to work in. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance

How to get safari to open to the last page I was on and screens to enlarge automatically?

Hello, I just upgraded to the latest iMac version from my 2010 model, and whenever I close and open up safari it opens to top siotes instead of the last page I was on, and every time I open it I have to enlarge it myself by clicking the arrows in the top right. Same happens with everything else, like the app store. How do I change this so whenever I go to safari it opens to the last page I was on and has safari, app store, etc. have large screens right away? I set up my old iMac 3 years ago, and I guess I must've done something to have it do this, but I forgetn what I did. Thank you in advance

Hello there, Clumn.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some general tips for Mavericks that may address your issue:
OS X Mavericks: General preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph13803
Particularly of note:
Close windows when quitting an application
If you quit apps with windows still open on your screen, selecting this checkbox prevents the windows from reopening automatically the next time you start their app.
This feature when not selected will allow the application to reopen windows automatically when you open the app.
Additionally, this article provides information on how to set windows Full Screen:

How do I get IE 11 to open in the same window on the task bar?

How do I get IE 11 to open in the same spot on my task bar. i.e. IE 11 is on my task bar. When I open it, it opens in a new place on the end of the task bar. Microsoft Outlook, Windows Explorer, Quicken, Adobe, etc,, all on the task bar open
right at there location on the task bar; not in a new place at the end of the task bar.
How do I get IE 11, Windows 7, 64 bit to open at the same place as the IE icon???
Thanks

Hi,
Seems a strange issue, How about un-pin IE from the taskbar, then re-pin it to the taskbar for a test?
If doesn't work, I suggest you turn off IE 11 in "Turn Windows Features on or off", reboot PC, then re-turn on, check the result again.

How do I get my iPad to open to the lock screen and NOT the passcode panel when I open my cover

When I open the cover to my iPad Air it is open to the 4digit passcode screen and NOT my lock screen with the date and time.

How do I make Safari 6.0 open to the homepage?

Safari opens to the last page or tabs shown when Safari is shut down. It used to open to the Homepage regardless what was open when Safari quit and I would like it to do that again. I have selected New Windows Open To: Homepage in the Safari Preferences, but it doesn't respond properly. Where else do I have to go to make it respond as I wish?

Thanks for your response. I found the answer in System Preferences/General after reading several similarly stated questions. I'll try your answer as soon as I add this reply.

My opening page won't load the home page even though I set it to home page in preferences. Instead it always opens to the last page I had when I last closed. I'd like it to open to my home page. I've tried dumping and reloading Safari, I have 5.1.2.

My Safari 5.1.2 Just won't open to my home page even though I have it set in preferences. It continues to open on the last page I was on when I last closed Safari. What overrides my settings in preferences?

I just purchased my first MAC after working on PC for the past 25 years and would like to know how to keep my safari program to be the full screen everytime I get into the app. I always have to click the two arrows to the top right of the safari program but on a PC it is always opened in full screen mode ??? and while I have you plugged in how do you make it so that the manu bar does not go away (hyernate??)
Cheers

Despite setting a Home Page Firefox always opens in the last page viewed. How do I solve this?

I have followed the instructions for setting a Home Page. Firefox always opens in the last page I viewed. Clicking on the Home icon does take me to my Home Page once Firefox has opened.

You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

How do I get Safari 7 to open with my tabs restored from my previous session?

I have a new MacBook Air running Mavericks. How do I get Safari to open with my previous tabs restored. I used to be able to find an option in Preferences that said when you open a new window open with the tabs from my previous session. That is no longer available to me.

I don't have that option in my general preferences. Even though I have Safari set to open with all windows from last session, it doesn't. I also think its very slow

How can I get Safari 7 to open to my homepage rather than Top Sites?

Not sure why I would want to open to Top Sites all the time... I'd like my homepage back but I can't figure out how to get Safari 7 to open to my homepage now.

Visit the Apple site you want to be set as Homepage.
Safari > Preferences > General > Homepage:
Apple site should show up and highlighted.
Click the "Set to Current Page" button at the bottom.
Select "New windows open with "Homepage" and
"New tabs open with "Homepage".
Launch Safari, if the Homepage is not opening by default, hold shift key down and launch Safari.

How do I get Safari to automatically open Word, Excel, Etc. files?

I can't get Safari to automatically open Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. files when I click on them from a Web site or Web-based email. They are automatically downloaded, but not opened. PDF files, and other "safe" file types, open automatically. The ""Open safe files after downloading" box is checked.
Any Suggestions? Thanks.

There is no glitch. Lion does support Office and Word. You can use Office 2008 or 2011.
