How do I get Safari to open on a specific desktop by default?

I have recently upgraded to Mavericks, I have a TV display connected to my iMac which is not always switched on at the same time as my iMac (I use it for streaming onto a big screen). I have noticed that by default the Safari Application opens in 'Desktop 2' which is my TV display. Is there a way to open Safari on 'Desktop 1' (which is my iMac desktop) automatically? I understand that I could just unplug the HDMI from my iMac but this will become a hassle eventually. Also the TV is not directly next to my iMac so dragging windows from screen to screen can be awkward. So to clarify, my question is:
With my TV display connected, is there a way to open Safari on 'Desktop 1' (my iMac desktop) by default?

Wow, I dont have that option at all - nothing below the line under 'show in finder', what can I do?
My TV screen is definitely connected as I can mirror on/off and choose from Samsung/iMac.
I've also tried:
resetting the dock
disconnecting the display
google searching for answers

How do I get safari to open a pdf in window.

How do I get safari to open a pdf in the browser window. A while ago I turned it off by typing defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -boolean yes into the terminal. Basically how do I undo that command

Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
Select the "Open With" Box
Change it to "Preview"
Then select the box just beneath it
"Change All."
This should set your PDF's to be read with Preview.

How do I get Safari to open first to a particular web site?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to choose that site as the homepage. To do that, open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and change the homepage by the one you want, so every time you open Safari, that website will show

How do I get Safari to open in Preview?

I am using Safari 5.0.5; have downloaded Adobe latest version; checked on Adobe preferences/internet to use Adobe. But from Safari PDF files will not open. Get a black screen with no content. How do I get Preview to open PDFs from Safari and thereby avoid this problem. Interesting issue -- this only occurs on iMac with Snow Leopard; my MacBook Air, not using Snow Leopard, opens Adobe from Safari.
Cheers,

Hi
If you want pdf's opening in Safari, using the built-in support (not Adobe) then quit open browsers, go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & remove any 'pdf' plugins. Occasionally, they're in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
If you really want Adobe to do it in browser, and the plugin is in place already - try opening Safari in 32 bit mode. Command-click it in the dock, then File-Get Info, & check the 32 bit box. Takes effect the next time Safari is started up.

How do I get safari to open pop-ups in new tabs rather than in new windows?

Just recently I took my 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2010 Model) to my local Apple Store. When I brought it there they fixed my problem, but in the mean time they had to completely delete and uninstall Safari and Google Chrome off of my laptop. Before the apple store, my Safari would always open pop-ups and links in a new tab, now they open up in a new window. Does anyone know how to change it so they open in new tabs? The reason I need this changed is I might have unecessary websites open, and they would just be taking up space.
Thanks for your help,
–Dan

How do I get Safari to open with homepage

If I quit Safari with a single or multiple pages open, the next time I open Safari all the pages come back, the pages that were open when I quit the application.
Even though in preferences I have a homepage selected it doesn't seem to matter.

Hold down SHIFT when you click safari to open.

How do i get safari to open to home page

after update to Lion, whenever i open Safari, it opens to the last page or tabs viewed rather than my home page. The only work around i've found is to close the browser windows before quitting. By doing that, Safari will open in homepage. If i just quit safari, it will not.

Hello:
Go to system preferences>general. Uncheck "restore windows when quitting and reopening apps."
Note that this is a global change - for Safari and everything else.

How do I get Safari to open a window both full screen and large?

OS 10.8.5

When I open a new page in Safari it is only half the screen wide and when I fill the screnn the image is still smal so I command +, three times. Is there a way to make this my default?

Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
Select the "Open With" Box
Change it to "Preview"
Then select the box just beneath it
"Change All."

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.

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 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

Safari 5.1.2 always opens pdf files on web pages as a single frame and thus it will not print properly. How can I get Safari to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader 10.1.1?

Carolyn,
Thanks for sending your suggestion on how to solve my problem. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I trashed the file, quit and relaunched Safari, but the problem remained the same. Although it did not work, I do appreciate that you took the time to try to help me.
Thanks.

Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

When i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?

you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

When I click on the 'help' key in the elements 12 program it wants to open it in Firefox2. Firefox doesn't work on my Macbook Pro Air. I use Safari. How do I get it to open?

Hmm, that is very strange. I agree with MichelB that it's probably best just to get the PDF, but you can try going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
Repair permissions and see if that does it.
