If I open a photo in "preview", multiple photos open. I just want to open one, but can't figure out how to do it.

I keep multiple photos in a desktop folder to be quickly accessed by using Preview. But when I try to open ONE photo, it opens multiple photos. Can't figure out how to display just the single one that I select. OS 10.7.2

This is the resume feature of Lion. The last state of the application is saved when quitting (i.e last pictures viewed in Preview, last videos viewed in Quicktime etc).
You can switch it off for Preview by copy and pasting the following in to the terminal application
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

By right clicking on something, I accidentally blocked photos at a website--I want them back but can't figure out how to do it

By right clicking on something, I accidentally blocked photos at a website-- want them back but can't figure out how to do it
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I right clicked on block images at a site or something like that.

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (''Site Identification'' icon) on the left side of the location bar and click the "More Information" button.
This will open the Security tab of the ''Page Info'' window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).
Go to the ''Media'' tab of that Page Info window.
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow.
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box ''Block Images from...'' then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Don't know what I did, but now can only view my mail as a list ... have to open each email individually... Help! lol just want to return to the normal window configuration, but can't figure out how to do that!

I don't know what I did when I was checking my emails, but somehow I ended up with a large window that displays a list of the emails but not the content of the selected one like before, unless I open each one individually... I tried shutting down, hoping that the email app would restore through some default setting, but it came back the same way... It's probably something simple, but I watched all the tutorials I could find, and there isn't any mention of how to configure the email window.
I played around with the toolbar, trying to figure out how to restore the original window, but nothing worked. I can sort things in many ways that I couldn't care less about! I just want the old setting back that shows the window where the upper half is the latest emails and the bottom half is the opened email that is high- lighted. Help!

Thank you, so much, Stedman! I feel like an idiot, but I never ran into this before! I'm new out here (relatively) and sometimes the simplest things seem to ambush me!! lol Thanks for taking the time to help me out!
You saved my life tonight! lol More or less! Tony<3

I have i tunes & photos in my mac OS 10.8. I am trying to transfer it to my HP windows 8. I have a stick plugged in but can't figure out how to backup into it?

I have I tunes and photos in pictures in my mac OS 10.8.5. I am trying to transfer them by backing up with a stick to my HP, windows 8?

Hey carolmonline,
Thanks for the question. For iTunes, see this article for information on transferring your library to a new computer (via the external drive option):
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
For your photos, it sounds like they are located in your Pictures folder. You can simply copy the photos to a new folder on your external drive for transfer to your new computer.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Have an existing photo stream that I have shared. I'd like to include others but can't figure out how to do it! Help, please!!

Hiya
I am becoming quite frustrated. I have created a photo stream to share photos with family but I'd also like to share the same photostream with friends. Just cannot figure how to do it.
If anyone has any advice, I'd be tremendously grateful!
Debs

Go to the photo stream you original created and bring up the Info tray at the right. Then add the email addresses of those you want to add to the access liste. This screenshot is for a private photo stream:

Can't figure out how to open multiple projects in imovie

I want to copy clips from one project into another. I've read you simply open the two projects and drag clips from one to the other. I may be missing something quite basic, but I cannot figure out how to get two projects open at once. If I open from the project list, I can only choose one. What am I missing????

Open the project that you want to take video from, select the frames that you want to include in your other project, and Edit > Copy (or Command-C). Return to your Projects list, select the project you want to add the frames to, move the playhead to the point where you want the frames to be inserted, and Edit > Paste (Command-V).

Can't figure out how to import photos

I've been watching YouTube videos as well as reading tutorials and I can't figure out how to import a single photo.
This is what my screen looks like - http://i.imgur.com/kODcL9t.jpg
Everything I watch or read, it appears I need to click Import > select a folder containing image files > and then I'll see the thumbnails contained in that folder. But no matter what folder I select, whether it contains jpegs, RAW files, anything at all, there are no previews and the import button stays grayed out.

Toggling the subfolders box doesn't help. HDD is running.
I'm probably just doing something wrong. :/
Maybe you can tell? Lightroom - YouTube
EDIT: I deleted my Preferences file and that seemed to fix it. No idea what was wrong. If anyone else needs it, it's at: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs

Can't figure out how to send photos to outside lab

Hello, I am new to Apple products and have had my iMac desktop for one week.   I am not very computer savy to start with and it is so different from my old pc.   I also have a new camera - Nikon D7100 - so I am attempting to learn TWO new things. At least my camera came with a user's manual. With my iMac I am stumbling through trial and error and taking up way too much time.   I tried using iPhoto but ended up losing my photo library I started (somehow it just disappeared after a series of error messages saying it was attempting to repair the library). I ended up buying the Aperture app beause I want to be able to do more with photos for my art business. Now I am thinking iPhoto wasn't so bad, all except loosing my library, of course. It was very simple to use. But once I learn more I think I will appreciate Aperture and at least through Aperture I was able to have my photo library restored.   I do not have a good printer yet, however, so I am attempting to have an outside print lab download my pictures to have the prints mailed to me. (Note: I used to use Snapfish but didn't like my last batch of pics. Someone suggested Walgreen's Photo Lab.   Maybe someone has a better suggestion.)
However, I cannot download my pictures to any outside site because they said they must be in jpeg format. My camera is set to take ONLY jpeg photos right now - I need to master this before even attempting raw - so the problem must be on the software use end. When I transfer pics from my camera to my computer, Aperature (or is it thru iPhoto to Aperature I don't know) it gives them a name without a suffix attached. I see that they identify the photo as JPEG at the top of the Info screen and I can go in and change the name and make it SAY .jpeg but even then I cannot download it to an outside photo lab for the same reason - "must be in jpeg format."    Plus to change the name to include the suffix .jpeg I am having to do that one picture at a time - there must be an easier way. How do I make them all be .jpeg photos that can be recognized by outside photo labs?
I would be open to sending my pics to the Apple photo print lab but I can only figure out how to send ONE at a time and that seems very impractical so I am obviously doing something wrong there. How does the Apple photo lab compare to others?   How do I send a batch of photos at one time?
One other question not related to photos - With my p.c. I had a mouse that would let me right-click and move, copy or delete highlighted areas. I cannot find that function at all with my iMac. Is there a "right click" type of function on this computer? I have this cool touch-pad. No more mouse.   Sorry to be do dense. I need users manuals I guess. More hours.   I would appreciate any help so I can spend more time outside in my garden instead of hunched over my computer in frustration.   Thank you!
Oh, one more thing. I cannot figure out my operating system.   My iMac box says "Preinstalled OS X and iLife4" How can I find what version I have? That would be helpful.

Try this to learn about using keys:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/
You can also use your PC mouse.
As for iPhoto, it sounds like you were trying to move files around in the library. That is a bib no-no in Aperture or iPhoto.

Help! Can't figure out how to store the same photo in different events

I know that this is just a user error problem, but I can't figure out how to store multiple versions of the same photo in different events. For example, I use Aperture as my main photo library, so I have a big folder set-up by year and then by events within those years to organize and maintain my library. I'm currently working on a project where I would like to pull out certain pictures for other uses. I tried creating new events and then moving the pictures to those events (like I would have in iPhoto) expecting for a new version of the picture to be deposited in the new event. That didn't work - it moved the picture out of my "main library" folder and as far as I can see it now only exists in the new event. Next, I tried creating "new versions" of the pictures I wanted to move and then just selecting those and moving them. In one folder I selected three photos, clicked "New Versions", then in the browser display I could see two of each picture (for a total of six), I selected ONE of each photo and moved those three to the new event. At which point all six disappear from the "main library" and end up in my new event. I don't understand why that happens. Currently the only way I've been able to do what I need to do is by using the flag field, but as far as I can tell there is only one of those - it's on or off that is really not serving my purpose. What do I need to do???

Like Jim said, you most likely want Albums for what you describe. Albums simply consist of "pointers" to a single compilation of image data. Albums can be created and deleted at will, because they are just pointers; an important concept.
Also learn to use Keywords - and unlearn "folder" organization, which is not the way digital asset management works. The power of Albums and Keywords is huge once we lose the film-think of folders organization.

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

Can't figure out how to stop my MBP from opening programs at startup, namely word and messages

Recenty my MBPro has started opening MS Word and Messages at startup and I can't figure out how to stop it? I've tried selecting and de-selcting the startup option from the dock but this doesn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?

System Preferences has a setting for this.
In the Users & Groups section you will fine a "Login Items" header. This is a list of all the programs that will open automatically when you log in. You can select any program and click the [--] button below that window to stop the program from opening automatically.

Can't figure out how to open a service request

Just bot a macbook pro to replace one of my pc's. can't figure out how to have more than one website open at a time like explorer. Is it possible to do?

I can't figure out how to open more than one website at a time like explorer does on a pc. would like to know if it Is possible or not.

Tabbed browsing is the way. Go to Safari's View menu:
and click "Show Tab Bar." When you see a link on another site you wish to open without closing the first site, simply right-click and select "Open Link in New Tab."
