Is there a way to make Safari open PDF pages without opening Finder and select Reader from my applications folder?

Simple, When I want to open a .pdf page from the web, I get Finder to open and I have to go to my applications folder to pick up Acrobat reader, Is there a way to have Safari doing it all by itself, Preview, or any other program?

Right or control click a PDF file you have on the hard drive then click: Get Info
In the Get Info panel click the pop up menu next to: Open with
Select the app you want to open PDF files from the pop up menu then click: Change All

Is there a way to make a linked PDF open in Acrobat instead of the browser?

I would like to make a PDF open in Acrobat instead of the browser, so that the user can see its interactive features. Is there a way to do this in Muse? Or does it always spend on the user's browser settings?

This would depend on the browser plugin installed , if browser does not have reader plugin then pdf will not open in browser.
Not much can be done via Muse , but you can try some settings on pdf like password protected etc.
Thanks,

Is there a way to make Safari default to 2x zoom?

Most every page I open requires me to hit command+ 2x (at least) to get the page close to filling my screen, is there a way to do this by default? Thanks.

HI,
Top left corner of the Safari window you will see red, amber, and green buttons. Click the green button and see if that helps.

Is there a way to make a rescue email address without calling apple support?

I see lots of questions about rescue emails etc. I am having problems with security questions as well I don't remember ever making those security questions either. So I am wondering of there is a way of making a rescue email address without calling the apple support team in which I do not wish to go through a whole bunch of people taking hrs to actually get it done , my dad has had experience with this before and isn't happy with calling them either because he has to recall so many times and go through the process over and over again so. Is there a way with out calling them?

This only leads me to calling apple support to change things ,in which I wish to not do so, I have money on my account in which I can't use because of these security questions in which I did not put up and when I made this account on iCloud it did not give me the chance to make a rescue email. Thus leading me to where I am now.

Is there a way to make an anchor link display a different colour when selected? (active state)

I have a vertically scrolling site I am trying to set up, and it's all going well. Only problem is when you use the menu (widget or non-widget) to move to an anchor link, thus bringing in the next section, I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour.
This would be good for letting the user know what section is infront of them.
Is there a way to do this?
One other question: Is there a way to get an anchor link to display centrally in the middle of the page up and down. I can arrange it so it looks good in one browser window, but as soon as the user has more vertical space it seems to diplay a set distance from the top. I guess what I'm asking is can the anchor link define the center point instead of the top point?
Many thanks!

Hello,
Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.
I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

Integrating Facebook in Mountain Lion has caused duplicated birthday events in my Calendar. Is there any way to show only the birthdays of my iCloud contacts, and ignore birthdays from my Facebook contacts?

I do not have any contacts on my local machine. Before updating to Mountain Lion, I stored all of my contacts and calendars in iCloud. When I updated and integrated Facebook, it added the Facebook contacts and all of their information to my Contacts directory. I have merged all duplicated data, and still my Calendar shows a birthday entry for my iCloud contact, and a second entry for the Facebook version of the same (merged and linked) contact. Is there any way to disable Facebook birthdays in my Calendar? Or, for bonus points, is there any way to merge the Facebook category of contacts with my iCloud contacts so that I never see duplicated data in any applications?

You can disable the facebook contacts by going to System Preferences -> Mail Contacts and Calendars -> Facebook, and the unchecking contacts. That will remove your facebook contacts from your contact book. Not sure if thats exactly what you want, but that's the only thing I could discover.

Is there any way to make tabbed documents in pages?

im dying to stop using MS Word, 1) because its PPC and is pretty slow, and 2) i have found apple apps (mail, safari, etc) just to run smoother. I am a law student and take extensive notes in class. MS words notebook feature comes in handy in that department, and was wondering if there was anything similar to that in pages? If there is no way to do tabbed documents, is there an easy way to separate each days notes so its easy to jump to sections in the document? thanks in advance, i appreciate your help.

i found that sections thing, i guess that will be my best bet if i want to keep it all in one document. if anyone else has any ideas, id like to hear them. thanks again

Is there a way to make a hotkey in Pages?

Hi! I'm using MathType along with Pages, and i'm looking for a faster way of inserting a mathematical formula. Now i have go to Insert -> MathType equation. Is there any other way I could do this, such as a hotkey?
Best regards,
Bjørn

Hello Bjorn,
Welcome to the Pages discussion.
You should be able to create a Keyboard Shortcut for this. Open System Preferences, click on Keyboard in the Hardware section, then select Keyboard Shortcuts and highlight Application Shortcuts in the list on the left. Click on the + button to start a new shortcut definition.

Is there a way to install Windows (with programs) on an external drive and run it from the Pro?

I have a 1TB Seagate Goflex that I am using to backup the Mac, but I want to partition it and run Windows and Windows Apps from it, rather than risk my HDD. Does anyone have any experience doing that or have any ideas on how it might be done? I am willing to risk the Seagate external drive, but not the laptop.

Bob,
you could put a virtualizer such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop on the external drive, and install Windows and Windows apps in the virtualizer.

When I open a web page I want a new tab to a potential new page to pop up so I can open another page without opening another broweer

On the old firefox, when I opened a web page I could click on an unopened tab to open a new page. Now I have to go back and click on the browser again to open an entirely different page.

Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if this didn't help.

Pages: Is there a way to make lines independent, like a real word processor

There are so many things that infuriate me about Pages. Save As.. missing, autosave, etc which are NOT like 99% of other apps on the Mac.
Specifially (today):
I have a letter in Pages. It’s a standard business letter you have see 1m times.
After the first line of the address, at the top of the letter, I insert a carriage return and BINGO, the tabs in the middle of the letter are suddenly all messed up.
Grrrrrr.
Is there a way to make lines independent in Pages? I have this crazy belief that letters are not Web Pages, not HTML, and that an extra line somewhere should not reformat following lines way down the page.
Alternately, is there some 3rd party word processor that works like the old Apple Works, with graphics and tables you can recommend?
Thanks

Save As is still there, hold down the option key as you go to the File menu. This is not Pages, it is Mountain Lion.

Then you are doing something wrong, probably pounding away at spaces, tabs and returns to position things. Turn on invisibles to see what is going on:
Menu > View > Show Invisibles
If you have strings of tabs, spaces and returns that is the problem.

Yes, hit the return key. Like every other Word Processing program.

Time to learn Pages. AppleWorks is dead. Stop pining for it. This is a case of user error and instead of blaming Pages, it would pay to find out what you have done and stop doing that.
Pages, except for the fancy DTP features, tables and charts works like most other Word Processing apps. Just a case of learning new tricks. My guess is you have other stuff going on.

Not at this time, no. You should be backing them up some other way.

Is there any way to make Mail open next message?

Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
Thanks for any help

Down-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,
GB
