How to Force OS X to Open Command-I Windows as 1 regardless how much Files

Hey there,
I'd like to add different Icons to several Files via Command-I and Paste. I noticed that the System at some point opens just one Information Window for all related Files. Very Handy, but at lower numbers it opens the Info Windows one by one.
Is there a way to force the System to open all related Info Windows in one Window, regardless how much Files are related?

Force Flash weblink to open in SAME window as movie

I'm using Adobe Encore CS4 to create a project that I want to export to Flash. However, I want one of my menus to be replaced by a web site.
The goal is to have a flow such that:
Menu 1.
<User Clicks Item #1>
Timeline plays
user is forwarded to a website
I have implemented this as follows:
Menu 1.
Button 1 --> Timeline --> Menu 2
on menu 2, I set the description to:
<weblink href="webpage.html">
as suggested in the manual.
This works, apart from the fact that after the timeline ends, the flash movie goes black, and a new window is opened with webpage.html (which is blocked by popup blockers unless specifically allowed).
What I would like is for webpage.html to be opened in the same window, so that the flash movie is no longer visible.
I have tried modifying the description field to
<weblink href="webpage.html" target="_self">
but it doesn't help. In the generated AuthoredContent.xml, I've tried changing the <action> item:
<Action type='Link' url='webpage.html'>
to:
<Action type='Link' url='webpage.html' target='_self'>
to no avail. I can't seem to find any documentation on these fields.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm not aware to force this behaviour, but if it is a regular link you can drag the link onto the same tab heading you are currently looking at. Obviously this won't work for form submissions where there is no link to drag as such

Version 10 "File Open" command does not list older file versions

When using the "file open" command in Illustrator 10, I noticed that the file list that appears in the window does not show older versions of illustrator files even though the File Type drop down box indicates "All formats". If I go to the file directory through Windows and then double-click the old version file (say Illustrator version8), the file automatically opens in Illustrator 10 without any problems.
Is there a setting in Illustrator 10 that allows all files to show up in the "File Open" command?

While I don't doubt you're experiencing this problem, I am at a loss as to how it can happen.
Short of parsing every file in a folder, Illustrator cannot possibly "know" the versions. I could be wrong, but the only criterion for appearing in the file | open dialog is the file extension -- that is, when you select 'All Formats,' Illustrator shows all files that can be opened on the basis of file extension (.ai, .eps, .pdf, etc.).
I tried playing around with the Read-Only and Hidden file attributes, but that made no difference. If you have things set up to show Hidden files in Explorer, they'll show up in AI 10's File | Open dialog.
This is baffling.

In Mail, I can not open a viewer window

I just had my hard drive replaced on my 27 inch imac. It came back with a new operating system (OSX10.7.5) Along with that it had several software updates. One of which was Mail. It is now at version 5.3. When I went to open it, it asked to transfer over all the old to the new. So it did but once that was over it never opened a viewer window. I then went to FILE to "Open viewer window". That didn't work either. I right clicked on the Mail icon in my dock and it said it wasn't responding so I had to force quit. Same results happen everytime I open MAIL. Please help.

With Mail open press Command + Option + Esc to force quit the Mail app.
Then restart your Mac and try Mail.

Opening itunes when windows starts

Hi, I was wondering how i get iTunes to automatically start in my system tray when I log onto my screename?

go "Start > all programs > Startup", and right-click that startup entry to open the Startup window.
now head into C:\Program files\itunes\ (or wherever it is that your itunes program files are stored), right-click on your itunes.exe (application) file, and select "Create shortcut". rename the new shortcut as you please.
now drag that shortcut into the Startup window you opened earlier.
itunes should now launch when you log in to your user account.
(if your security software also runs when you log into your account, like my NIS 2007 does, that might make your initial startup times in that account even longer, though. depends on how big a system-performance hit your PC takes when your security software launches.)

URL Iview is not open a new Window in FireFox

Hi Guys,
After we upgrade our portal to NW 7.0 EHp2 SP6 , we can not open the URL Iviews in Firefox.
It looks like can't force the iview to open a new window and instead it open a new tab , Any suggestion?
Thanks,

Hi Mar,
To me, the PAM mentioned Firefox 3.5 is not recommended for NW 7.0 Ehp2 - Firefox 3.6 is supported for NW 7.0 Ehp2 starting with SPS6.
Anyway, if it works in IE & Safari, I don't think it has anything to do with the portal; it's something in Firefox settings. As mentioned before, did you check the option to open new links in new windows? Also, please checkSAP Note 1296463 and its related notes about browsers to see if there's something relevant to your case.
Regards,
Dao

I no longer have the option under 'File' on the main menu to open a new window.

In the past(recent past) I was able to open a new window of Firefox by licking on File then there was an option to open a new window(session) of Firefox. At some point which I am unsure of that option is no longer there. Does anyone know why or how I can correct or fix it?
I'd very much appreciate the help because I miss the feature very much!

If you do not see the menu bar with the File menu then see [[Menu bar is missing]]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can also try "Reset toolbars and controls" on the [[Safe mode]] start window

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

How do I force the player to open in the center of my screen every time, and not way on the side?

Solution is very simple, Just choose firefox as your default browser.
Follow these steps :
* Open '''Options'''
* Click on '''Advanced'''
* Now open '''General''' tab and click on '''Make FireFox The Default Browser'''. See Image below.

How can I force an image to open fully on screen within action?

In PS CS5 when I open an image with height dimension in range of 1405-1411 or 1873-1882, the image opens half off the bottom of the screen. Width does opt seem to matter.
I assume this is a bug, but until fixed I am trying to work around.
For manual editing the vertical fit screen button or zooming out causes the image to come on screen, but is neither of these display options will record in an action.
When an image is opened half off screen, a Place command does not place accurately for these images. Thus an action that includes a Place does not run correctly for these images.
So either I want to find a setting (nothing in preferences that I can find) to force the image to open on screen, or find a command that will run in an action that causes image to come on screen, while not interefering with images that open normally.

The insert menu item command, which I had overlooked (perhaps because it is grayed out to virtual invisibility until action is actively recording), solved the problem.
Thanks.
FYI I had tried all the screen mode options. Made no difference.
Also FYI a screenshot. A little less than 1/2 of the image is off screen

How to pass command-line options to app using the "open" command?

I am using jedit, and since I'm doing a lot of stuff in a shell, I'd really like to launch it from the command line as though I'd opened from finder, so I wrote a script that contains this:
open -a /Applications/Jedit.app "$@" &
This works well for everything except NEW files, where I get this error:
2007-02-16 19:29:48.072 open[1032] No such file: /Users/millerti/projects/ateon/new_file
Is there a way I can override this?
So, it occurred to me that I might try running jedit directly this way:
/Applications/Jedit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit -- "$@" &
The trouble is that this suffers all sorts of weird problems. For instance, if there's already a jedit running, it launches another one (despite the fact that -server is default). Moreover, the file it opens, existing or not, is not the one I specify. If I'm in ~/mydir and I open ./myfile, jedit opens instead /Applications/myfile.
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. Can someone help me figure out what open is doing internally so that I can launch jedit compatible with how open does it so that I can both open existing files and create new ones the same way from the command line?
BTW, I can make more complex script.
Also, if this isn't the right forum for this, can someone tell me where would be a better place to get the question answered?
And I'm not expecting to get jedit support here. This isn't a jedit problem because it's behaving correctly.
Thanks.

Applications rarely take command line arguments. I don't know anything about Jedit, whether that is an exception, but you are not sending an argument to Jedit with the open command. The file name on your command line is an argument to the open command. The open command says "open this file with the specified application". The application doesn't see the argument. It sees the file exactly as if it were opened from the Finder. That's why naming a non-existent file doesn't work.
What if you open Jedit with no file, create a new document in the application. (Again, I am not familiar with Jedit.)

How can I force PDF's to open in IE?

I have Windows 7 machines with IE8, Reader 11 with current patches. No matter what setting I choose in manage add-ons, PDF's open in Adobe Reader, instead of in IE. I have reset IE, repaired Adobe Reader and verified settings many times. How can I force PDF's to open in IE?

Yes - those were the first steps. I have also tried the accessiblity assistant options and that also did not allow PDF's to open in Internet Explorer. I was only able to correct it on one machine by fully removing Adobe Reader 11.0.04, removing the HKCU registry for Adobe and reinstalling. This is not feasible on 1300 machines. I would prefer a reg file that I can push, if I can identify which registry entries affect PDF opening in Internet Explorer.

How can I force a link to open in a new tab on a Mac!?

On Mac, CMD + Click only opens a link in a new tab if that link is located on that same subdomain and domain. If the link goes to another domain or subdomain it will just ignore the click!!!
For example, on www.cnn.com I can CMD+Click on a number of article and they will open in a new tab. However, if the article is to a money.cnn.com or to some other website my CMD+click will be ignored.
Also, would be nice to do the same in gmail. Actually, in gmail the link opens in another tab, but you are forced into that tab, so again the expected behavior of opening in another tab while remaining on the current page is being ignored.
Seems to be an ongoing issue for a few years a no one has provided a decent answer other than install a plug-in. Also, several 'about:config' options I've read about only talk about behavior when opening a new window, nothing dealing with the ignored clicks.

guig2, thanks for the response, but I don't believe this will help. Of the TABs options in preferences the only possibly relevant one is to force a link that would normally open in a new window to open as a tab instead.
As for the plugin the two 'secret options' it talks about, I have already tried, which are basically a twist on the preference options.
It also seems from the reviews of the plugin that it doesn't always work, or doesn't allow you to select which site open in a new tab, which is what I want.
Is there some way to force firefox to interpret CMD+Click as a right-click->"Open in new tab," basically the context menu always works and is the expected behavior for CMD+Click (which doesn't always do this, possible due to the page modifying the behavior).

How do I force the reader to open to full screen?

Is there a setting that forces the reader to open to a full screen when I open a doc from within a web site? It goes to the task bar first then having to click on it to see it full screen.
Thanks,
Mark

If you close Firefox while in full screen mode then Firefox should start the next time in full screen mode as well.
If that doesn't happen the see:

How can I force Excel hyperlinks to open Acrobat Pro rather than Acrobat Reader?

My Excel (2010) hyperlinks to PDF file always open the Reader...but I want these files to open in Acrobat Pro (X) so I can use all the tools.
Is this possible?
Can I uninstall the reader? Will that force Pro to be the default file opener?
Thanks.
SS

Open Acrobat -> Click to 'Edit' menu -> Preferences -> General (Category)
Now click on "Select Default PDF Handler" button choose Acrobat X from the drop-down and then click apply.
It will reset Acrobat X as a default viewer and your all link will open in Acrobat then.
