In Safari on a MacBook Pro, how do you open a new blank tab while leaving the site you were on still on another tab?

This is my first Mac computer, and this may be a silly question, but I can't find the answer anywhere else. Anyway, is there a way to open a new tab that's blank? Like in iPhones, you can click new page, and a blank page opens up. Anyway that's possible on Macs? Or do I just need to download Chrome?

A new tab can be obtained with command-t, or via the File menu, or with the + sign at the end of the tabs, or....
What happens when a new tab is opened is determined via Safari > Preferences > General.
You will want to select "Empty page" under "New tabs open with".

I've just installed mountain lion on my macbook pro. I cannot open preview and it is also stalling the log out sequence? How can I solve this

I've just installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro and cannot now open Preview. I've partly solved the reading of PDF documents by installing Adobe Reader, but Preview is also stalling the log out process. Any suggestions how I might solve this annoying trait would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Just an FYI, normally you give the 'solved' award to the person who gave you the answer, not to yourself.

Just got new MacBook Pro, How do you adapt to 2nd monitor?

You will need a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) cable and an adaptor for the type of connection your monitor requires. You will find the adaptors at Apple's online website.

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

I am using a MacBook Pro and when I open a new tab in Firefox it opens to Trovi. Mozilla has a forum but solutions are all for the PC/Windows. How do I remove it?

I am using a OSX MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.4 and using Firefox 30.0. My Mac has recently been hijacked by a program called "Trovi". Whenever I open a blank new tab in Firefox the tab opens it opens with Trovi. The Mozilla forums offer support but all solutions are for users who run Windows. How do I remove Trovi from my Mac? Please help.

Macbook Pro, How to transfer files to new SSD

Hi
Ordered 16GB of Ram and a 480GB SSD for my MacBook Pro 13 2.5GHz last night.
I know how to install the ram and SSD but I am kind of stumped as to how to move my files from my HDD currently in my Mac to my new ssd, I know that its possible to do it by removing the optical drive and use a hard drive caddy and move the files with an app called super duper but i could do with keeping my optical drive for the time being.
I have a Mac Pro late 2012, i was wondering is there any way i can put both drives into two different slots and transfer the files any way?
Or does anybody else know how i can do it, maybe if i take my Mac to the apple store they have a cable they would let me use whilst im there?
Hope somebody can help
Tom

Buy an external hard drive enclosure. They are inexpensive. Put the new drive in it temporarily, connect it and run Disk Utility to format the new drive.
Then transfer files between the two drives with Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Next physically switch the drives.
Your old drive can now serve as your Time Machine back up.
Example of a hard drive enclosure: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817392032

My scan disk isnt formatted for my macbook pro, how can i open it?

Does anyone know how to open a windows formatted flash drive on macbook pro? Nothing I tried worked! It contains an important conference I
attended. I am new to Mac & in need of skills Thank you in advance...

Take the drive to a PC, it likely will work just fine.
Copy the data to the PC, then right click and format the flash drive exFAT in Windows
(if XP exFAT is a free install from Microsoft)
Then place the data back on and try again on the Mac.

Just loaded windows 7 on a macbook pro - how do you dual boot OS X and windows 7

Hi successfully loaded windows 7 and partitioned drive (I need windows for work Microsoft crm system)
All ok but a pain to have to keep logging off and on between OS X & Windows
I understand that there is a way to dual boot - I am running Snow Leopard on a macbook pro lap top OS x 10.6.7
Can anyone help please
Ian

You can install Parallels or Fusion, either will work. When you setup either Parallels or fusion you can tell it to use your already installed Boot Camp installation of Windows as its target guest operating system.
You would then just boot into OSx, start your VM (Parallels or Fusion), then you'll have access to both OSx and Windows without having to reboot.
I have this setup and two monitors. I have my Windows running on my external monitor and OSx running on my Macbook Pro monitor at the same time.
Beware that you will need to re-register Windows to get a second key. This is free and easily done either online or by calling the Microsoft registration number. The reason for needing a second key is that Windows, although only installed once in your Boot Camp partition sees the virtual hardware created by your virtual machine and thinks it has been reinstalled on a new computer.

How do I open a new FireFox browser window to the home page and url filled?

win 7 64-bit, firefox 5 open new window no url. When I have firefox open and open a new browser window, the new window does not open on the home page and no url is present in the address field. If I click on the favicon in the address field, the url of the current page will automatically fill in. The forward and backward arrow buttons remain disabled. In addition, links opened in a new window cause a new browser window to open, but the linked to website is not displayed in the new windows. What is displayed is a new window completely blank with no url in the address bar. I tried to include troubleshooting information by clicking on the copy to clipboard, but apparently the character count was exceeded.

I disabled all plug-ins and extensions. the problem has been resolved. Now I will enable each one individually to find out which one was the offender.

How do I open a new window (cmd + N) on the current page (url) NOT my homepage?

Before I updated to firefox 28, I was able to hit cmd + N and it would open a new window with the exact same webpage I was on. Now it opens a new window with my homepage. I'm assuming I had an add-on or extension, but I am desperate to be able to do this again. Ideas?

This is an oversight by the developers of the latest FireFox revision: a great shame, as the overall feel of the browser has patently been improved.
Xabolcs has come up with a nice fudging idea; if it were to work; but sadly it doesn't for me....
As mentioned by MGprof, the latest version of FireFox (May'14) now opens one's "homepage" instead of a new blank window.
As my "homepage" is almost a dozen tabs; this is worse than useless. It's like starting FireFox again; and then having to close a whole string of unwanted tabs!
To compound my frustration, the "move to a new window" option disappeared on another recent FireFox "upgrade"; but I managed to get round that by copying an url from a tab, then opening a new blank window, to paste the url into.
So, is there any possible way to open a new window in this latest version of FireFox?
I just want to be able to open a new FireFox window; and I'd be happy with it being either blank, or duplicating the url of a currently-showing tab.
This would allow view of one trimmed-size webpage in front of another one, showing in a selected tab in my normal-use multi-tab window: useful when comparing complex images, for example.
I have just installed the above-recommended "duplicate-2-window"; but can't make it work for me.
I've assumed "no-restart-necessary" claim is correct; but using cntrl+N, I now get a new blank TAB!
I'll try rebooting next, and post here again if that improves the situation; but don't hold your breath!
Meanwhile, if the developers are watching out for feedback..................................... please sort this, by putting back the "open a new window" option: I do NOT want to have to use Gugl-Krohm!
