HT2506 When I open the application preview why do all my previous documents pop up?

Hi I have a macbook air mountain lion computer and whenever I double click a picture it opens preview, however all the previous documents I've loaded before pop up too. Why is this happening? I only want that one picture to pop up on my screen. Is there a setting I can change?

Nope - restarting didn't help either!
well it seems inconsistent.
Starting word did get me just a blank document.
but starting excel (from the dock) got me 3 recent spreadsheets.
I find this very annoying.

  • I have not accessed my iBooks for a month. When I opened the application a while ago I found that all my books except for 2books have disappeared. What happened and how can I retrieve my books?

    I have not accessed my iBook library for a month. When I opened the application awhile ago I found that all my books except for 2 books have disappeared. What happened and how can I retrieve my books.

    One possible reason is have you synced to your computer's iTunes recently ? If so then it might have replaced the books that were on your iPad with those that are on your computer's iTunes library.
    You should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes and then sync them back to the iPad : re-downloading. If you re-download them directly on your iPad then you may want to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, so that you have a backup copy of them and to see if it stops them disappearing from the iPad again when you sync (assuming that was the reason why they disappeard).

  • I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

    I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
    Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

    1
    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

  • Iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

    iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

    Hi Cyclosaurus,
    Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
    In relation to your points:
    1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
    2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
    Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
    Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
    Thank you again for your help

    WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
    Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
    The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
    If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 26.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Objects in different layers changed position when i opened the project file, why? Can i fix this in a non painful and quick way?

    Im making a frame-by-frame animation and today when i opened my project som objects had changed position while others didn't. This countinues throughout the whole timeline and sometimes they change position.
    Here is before:
    Here is after:
    I think it has something to do with me changing the documents size. But it didnt happen yesterday when i did the change, only today when i opened the file again, and i cant change it back and make things right again.
    If someone knows what happened and if i can fix this it would mean A LOT to me.

    There is really no way around backing up your files regularly.
    Flash is sadly not the most stable program.
    Make it a habit to save a new version every half an hour or so, that will diminish your losses.
    Consider it a "warning shot" and consider yourself lucky that you didn`t get the infamous "flash couldn`t open file" message ;-)

  • When I open a file folder why are all the subfolders expanded

    When I open my USB flash drive on my mac (snow leopard), all the files are expanded, and I can't figure out why. Then I have to go one by one closing them, and it's frustrating. Is there a way to set it to be collasped or expanded?

  • Ichat disconnects and reconnects airport when I open the application

    iChat is disconnecting EVERY time I start up the application. It will then automatically reconnect. Every once-in-a-while it will do this during a chat or videochat. This problem only happens when I am on my wireless network at my house.
    I believe my firmware on my Linksys wireless router is up-to-date. But I am on a university campus so I cannot connect to the Linksys ip-address page to confirm as they insist I must.
    I have been searching through these forums and have tried changing a number of settings with no success. I also cannot find a thread with this exact problem. Please help, thank you!

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    Can you confirm you have your own router in your room as well as the connection that makes to the Uni's network ?
    Which Linksys is it ?
    I take it you are trying to access the IP shown in System Preferences > Advanced Button > TCP/IP tab at the "Router IP" spot ?

  • IPhoto broken - Empty window when I open the application - Help needed

    Hi Guys,
    Since my upgrade to Snow Leopard my iPhoto 09 has been completely broken. What I get when I start it up is an empty window. No pictures on the right pane and no menus on the left pane. I read many threads about iPhoto issues, and so I have tried to rebuild the library, reinstall iPhoto from the disk I got with my mac. Still the same problem: On startup, iPhoto opens with a completely blank window. All I have are the three buttons at the bottom left side of the window (+, info and enlarge). Only if I click "+" to add a new album the menus on the left pane (events, photos...) appear. A few clicks on these menus and iPhoto crashes. All this, done with a new, clean library. I moved the old one, and keep it for the day I'll get iPhoto to work again. Hope you guys can help. This is painfully frustrating.

    Thanks for help Terrence
    I am using Suitcase Fusion 2 and just activitating Helvetica Neue in Suitcase seemed to fix this problem I have had for several months.
    I highly recommend doing the activation in Suitcase instead of just droping it into the System Fonts folder. This will allow for Suitcase to activate or deactivate the font. If you put the font into one of your folders, Suitcase can not deactivate, which might be necessary if your job uses a different version of Helvetica Neue.

    whatsapp 2.11.14 quiting on ios 8.1.3 iphone 5

    If you re-install the app all your groups will be gone, and you will have to ask them to add you again.
    I have issues when more than on message was sent by the same user. If I have only one message, it opens fine.
    I didn't like the new iOS 8.1.3, besides the whatsapp issues, it messed up all my information, and also, I have to download all my purchased musics again.
    How can I downgrade to the last version?
    Thank you,

  • How do i stop my itunes starting an update when i open the application? Its crashing my macbook when i open it.

    i've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes numerous times but it still begins an update whenever i open it, the update then causes the macbook to crash halfway through. I've also tried opening it with all my internet switched off.
    Any ideas on how to stop it updating? so i can get it to just open?

    Yay!
    Ironically enough, it was an iPhone 'ding' that alerted me to the solution in this posting.
