Links opening apps? Or not-

Is anybody else incredibly fristrated that just about all links open safari web pages and not the apps that they apply to? Its seems so primative at this point. Honestly, two of my apps will open from links. Youtube and some othet usless app. EVRYTHING else opens in Safari. All the major apps that probaly everyione has. LinkedIn, Bank of America, Yelp, Instagram, GrubHub, Fandago, and on and on. And it always shows the bar on top too saying, "hey why dont you download the app?" Like a slap in the face. The fragmentation on this device *****. Two steps forward, one step back.

Also disable the dragging feature in System Preferences > trackpad.

HT4623 Website links within App do not work

Website links in any App do not work. What is the solution?

Basically, unless a registered version of Adobe Acrobat is used the links will not work in all browsers - only those whose PDF plugin is programmed to recognize the format of a URL and create the link on-the-fly.
Okay, Mozilla.. you're next challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to make the PDF plugin for FF work that way.

Opening app does not go to it.

If I open an app, often the view stays on Finder and does not go to the open app. Is there a setting that controls this?
Thanks,

Delete background apps from memory and Reset. Press the home button twice quickly, then slide all the window panes upwards to delete them from memory. Then Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts itself. If still problem, Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer.

Open apps sometimes not seen in highlighted in dock or in ...

I've seen this on 2 different Macs I have running OS 10.8.1..
ie lets say I have Safari and a bunch of programs open and I decide to move to Text Edit..
Then I need to go back to Safari, when I do command-tab I don't see Safari shown in the display of apps?
I then do to the Dock and there's no highlight under then Safari app?
Yet Safari is open..
I click on the Safri icon in the dock or just click on a Safari window and I'm back.
Happens with other apps too - Anyone else seeing this?
I'll send to Apple Feedback - just thought I'd bring it up here.

Sounds like automatic Termination.
Apps that aren't being used (no windows open) are terminated, but the remain in memory for a period of time. During this time, they don't appear in the open Apps, but if you start them again, they pop to life like they weren't terminated. After the period of inactivity or if the system needs the resources they are using, they will be fully terminated.

Indesign CS4 double click the file opens app. but not file

One of our systems that is running Win XP Pro SP3 with InDesign CS4 loaded and file associations fixed, when an INDD file is double clicked the application opens but the file does not. If we open INDD and go to file open and select the file it opens. Just not when double clicked. If I put the file on another system everything is fine. Anyone seen this before.

I'm pretty much at a loss. You might want to make sure that the open action is programed correctly in Windows.
Open Explorer and go to Tools > Folder Options... and scroll to .indd, then click the advanced button and select the Open action. Click Edit, and make sure that the "Application used to perform action" line includes "%1" (in quotes) after the path to InDesign. I believe the "confirm open after download" box should also be checked in the edit screen.
If that's OK, I'm guessing it has to do with SP3. Doe you have SP3 installed on the machine where it works?

Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps will not stay unchecked

I upgraded my early 2011 model 15" MBP to Lion and this new feature is resulting in lots of strange behavior when it comes to system start-up and when i launch apps afterwards. For now, I want to simply shut this feature off, so I go to System Preferences > General and I uncheck the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" control. If I then close and reopen system preferences, the check on this control is back! I have tried various forms of other work-arounds such as locking the folders on an app by app basis in the ~/library/Saved Application State folder for the apps that act wierd and it sort of helped, but nothing seems allow me to just shut this off globally and make it stick. Any thoughts on why I can't get the preference change to stick?

The Preferences selection simply stops the applications themselves from relaunching (previous state) windows when you launch them manually.
The log-out check box is for something entirely different. It stops the applications from relaunching, if they were open when you logged out, or shutdown.
There is no way to keep that second behaviour from occuring as a default. Apple will have to make a change in Lion to make the change something you can set as a permanent preference.
I use an automator script application to perform my shut-downs with one click. I have an alias for the script in my dock, right next to the Finder icon. The same script also "uncheck's" the box of which you are speaking.

App Store says I have apps to update but opening apps does not show any apps in the update tab

Apps says there are apps to update with the number 4, I go to the App Store nothing shows up on the updates tab. When I show purchased apps tab all, I see two that need updating and tap the update button and then the apps icon drops to two but still nothing there when opening the app. Tried shutting off and turning on and did not do anything.

There have been numerous reports on the forum today regarding this issue. It seems to be an issue at Apple, but no information has been posted on the status site.

Open apps do not show as open in dock...

... command tab only shows Finder. I can navigate to the other 9 apps that are open with the mouse. Strange. I have repaired permissions, activity monitor shows nothing out of the ordinary.

HI Hugh,
Open System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse/Keyboard Shortcuts. Click; Restore Defaults. Quit System Preferences and reboot.
See if that helps...
If not, try deleting this file: com.apple.finder.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.

Pages not opening, App Store not loading, can't work today.

Hello, recent Yosemite upgradee here.
When ever I open the app store i get nothing, all blank. some times it doesn't open at all.
I went to start working this morning and noticed when ever I clicked to open a pages document nothing happened. No pages icon appearing in the launch bar. Nothing. Opening pages does the same, nothing. Panicking a little because I can't really work without it and im not covered for apple support.
Strangely enough Numbers works fine. I'm using Pages version 5.2.2.
Any idea whats happening? Apple menu tells me i have 8 updates pending, i think one may be pages, but of course i can't get to it.
Thanks!

Any problem with a 3rd party app is the responsibility of the app developer. Contact Instagram customer or technical support regarding whatever doesn't work with their app on your iPhone.
What is the error message provided when attempting to login with your Apple ID with the iTunes app store?

Hi there, why is that open apps are not killed after the device is restarted?

I noticed the open applications remain running in the background even after the device is restarted.
This happens in android. There are two options "power off" - quick reboot with no apps killed
"Restart" closes all apps and restart the device?
Arent we getting the other option in iOS :p

Force close apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

Icons for running apps are not showing in the dock

I just noticed that newly opened apps were not appearing in the dock. I then closed and deleted some apps that had been residing permanently in the dock, and started them again. Their icons did not reappear. I'm running Leopard on a G4 ibook. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?
Also, that little light which comes on under the icon in the dock if the app is open does not come on for Safari. Even though it is open, the icon sits there with no light. Why is there no light, I wonder.

delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults. see if that fixes the issue.

My iPad won't show the open apps when I double click

Double clicking to show the open apps does not work. I re-powered but it did not help. Any suggestions?

For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
 Cheers, Tom

Cannot close open apps

My open apps will not close when I swipe, what should I do

Are you swiping upwards on the App Icon, or the little preview screen directly above the App?
