Numbers opening all files in iMac on start up

When I start Numbers on my 2010 iMac upon start up Numbers open evey spreadsheet stored on the computer. Anyone else experienced this problem? I can't find any setting to toggle this off.
Any sugestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Rich

Not sure what might cause that.
Work arounds -
To close them all quickly, hold down the Option key while clicking the close button (red bubble) i one of the windows.
Make sure they are all closed before quitting Numbers.
Quit Numbers before shutting down or restarting your Mac.
Go to System Preferences > General and in the Recent Items section uncheck the item "Restore windows...".

Is there way to have Numbers open excel files automatically

Is there way to have Numbers open excel files automatically when I click on my old excel files rather than opening numbers and then opening file?

Try this: from Finder, select an Excel file. Hit Apple-i to get the file info. You'll see a section labeled *Open with:* Use the dropdown to select Numbers and click the *Change All* button.

Open all files in 'Open Recent' menu

Is there a way to open all files at once that appear in the 'Open Recent' menu in Preview? If I have 15 PDFs listed, would it be possible to open them all at once (perhaps through Automator?).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Can you identify the disc where your Scratch files go to.
If you have not designated a specific disc it will be in the default location.
You need to remove any files associated with the Project in question from the Scratch Disc location.
Specific info here:

If you wish to remove the Recent List trash the FCE Preference files.
Use this to make it easy:

Library opens all files in it after I click on it

Hi Everybody
When I double click on my library it opens all files in it. I have another library, which after I click opens only a dialog box to chose the file to open.
Now, how do I determine how the library should behave, either it should open all vis at the opening either it will pop up with dialog box.
Thanks in advance

Each vi that configured as main in llb will open after double-clicking on llb. For editing of vi's configuration in llb select Tools/Edit Vi Library, select llb file, and select which files will be main.

Contribute tries to open all file types

Contribute 3 tries to open all file types, in addition to the
designated application. You click on "file.doc" and contribute AND
word try to open the file. You have to cancel the open process for
contribute at least three times to make it go away. Then the file
open as usual in word. I have checked the preferences and removed
all "MS Office" file types from the dialog. I have checked the
folder options and verified that Contribute is NOT the assigned
application in Windows to open the file.
Help this is very annoying!

I'm glad to know there are other people out there with the
same problem... but has anyone found a solution yet?

Opening pdf files on iMac ?

When trying to open PDF files on my Imac it shows error and when I check the file it is empty?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Preview opening all files in folder

When browsing to open a file in Preview through File>Open File... dialogs, Preview is opening all of the files within a folder (rather than opening the folder's directory) after a double-click on the folder.
Am I missing something?

Double-click on folders in open dialogue does not open the entire folder contents in most applications! (I just tested a couple standard programs to confirm: Safari, TextEdit.) It is an annoying and unnecessary attribute which seems only applicable in Preview.
The feature of Preview where double-clicking a folder in the open dialogue causes Preview to open the entire folder contents is the bane of my existence as a Mac OS user. (And I do use other operating system, my Mac triple boots.) This behavior is not only inconsistent (and generally confirms that Mac OS X is perpetually confused about what type of mouse actions cause what actions in different areas), but a horrible catastrophe when, at least once a day, I inadvertently double-click a folder (in this manner) containing many files Preview associates with itself, where the only easy solution is to Force Quit. Don't believe me? When Preview starts trying to open 200 post-script files, which it must first convert to pdf, and the Cancel button does not respond, what should you do? Even if you wait for it to open all the files, in the case where conversion to pdf is involved, each window I close asks me if I wish to save!
All the complaints aside, is there a way I can disable this gregariously foolish and mis-sighted feature? If there is not a way to disable this feature at present, I'll just hope that a developer is reading this, since this is my only recourse in closed-source software, except to find new software.
And while I'm at it, may I request that Preview have the added feature to directly view post-scripts?

Quark 6.5 crashes when opening existing files on iMac Intel Core Duo

I just switched from a G4 titanium laptop to an Intel iMac and Quark works fine except when I try to open a file that I created on the laptop (same Quark 6.5). It crashes. I talked to Quark and they said that I need to open the files on a PC and resave (I don't have a PC or a friend with a PC and Quark not that I'd send them all my files even if I did). I've tried resaving and renaming files with no luck. I tried reinstalling both the operating system and Quark (both 6 and 6.5) with no luck. Has anybody else had this problem and found a work around? I want to sell my laptop but I can't until I know I can access the hundreds of client files I have there.
iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Sorry I have no real experience with this, just a thought. Did you use migration assistant to move the old files over from your G4 to your Intel? And did you then perform a "Repair Disk Permissions" upon the entire hard drive from within Disk Utility's "First Aid" panel? (located at Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility)
If the file move still is causing you a problem afterwards, you could try and work around it by moving the files in a different way. As a test, create a small file on the G4 and then email it to yourself from the G4. Receive that message into the Intel and see if the Intel can then open the file from inside Mail. This might avoid any "bias" created during the move from old to new Mac.

Finder software is locked unable to open all files folder

I am able to open finder and view every file except the all files folder. Also when I open the mail program or safari the menu is not listed at the top of the screen so that I can access it. I had to force shut down the finder program and then the other programs would open and work normally. The finder program does give one error message saying that it can't find that file. but all the files are there I just can't open that one window. Thanks, Sheila

Your new iMac comes with 90 days of phone support from Apple .... good idea to take advantage of it while you have it. In the US call 800-275-2273, or see this if outside the US.
Have you tried Safari or Chrome or Opera, just to see if you have the same PDF issue?

In acrobat 9, How Opening all files in one windows

Hello,
In the past version (7) it was possible to open all the pdf in the same files with switching off in preferences>general the option show the documents in the task bar.
Is that function lost with this version or is it possible to do the same thing by another way ?
Thanks for your ansvwer,
Regards,
BKlyd

It's not possible with version 9.

Aperture 3.5 does not open all files in external editor (PS CS6)

When I select several photos in Aperture (which are parts of a panorama serie for example) and click choose to open them in the external editor (here Adobe Photoshop CS6), only a random subset are opened.
Aperture warns me if I want the (for example) 14 pictures to be exported for edition, I confirm, but I end up with only (for example) 9 photos in Photoshop. The missing ones can be any photos (not necessarily the first or latest).
Note that 9 is not an upper limit, I once opened 23 photos and only had 21 in Photoshop opened.
If I again select those same photos and choose to export them (either as PSD using the same format as with the Editor command, or asking for the original that was created for the external editor) to a folder. Then when I open all the photos at once form the finder (or Bridge) to Photoshop, I have all the photos in Photoshop. So Photoshop has no problem opening the files.
Do you have the problem too? How do you solve it?
For the time being I manually export the files, open them from the Finder, stitch them in PS and reimport the result in Aperture.
A bit tedious... If there is no work around, I will try to fiddle with some automation...
Final note:
PS CS6, Aperture and OS X are all at there latest respective versions (i-e respectively: 13.0.6, 3.5.1 and 10.9.2)

I was just noticing this issue with A2.0.1
Selecting multiple files in A2, only one would open in Photoshop.
I have found that, if when opening files from Aperture, the color setting profile in PS is different than the color tag in the image, such as sRGB vs aRGB, the mismatch warning appears and stops subsequent photos opening.
If the image profile matches the color settings in PS, then all selected photos open from Aperture to PS.

Adobe Reader tries to open all files even Excel and Word docs.

When I try to open files that are sent to me, the Adobe Reader tries to open them all instead of an Excel file getting opened automatically by Excel and a .doc being opened by Word.
The message I get by the Reader says it cannot open it, of course. (I have Windows Vista on my HP computer if that is the problem.) Someone told me to take the default off of the Reader so the files open and download in the proper software program, but I am unable to find such a "default" option in the Reader program properties.
I never had this problem with any previous Windows version, so not sure if it is my computer, or the Reader. How can I fix this so when I download or open a file, it automatically opens in the right software?

This means that the file associations of the various Office programs have been muddled up somehow. Try an Office repair install; that should correct the file associations.

Open all files in folder using Javascript

Let's say I want to open all the files in a particular folder, without knowing the names of those files.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

ok I solved it
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog( "Please select top level folder to process");
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
for(i=0;i<fileList.length;i++) var docRef = app.open(fileRef);

Adobe opens all files on my PC

I've got a problem while using Adobe Reader on my PC. Some time ago I set Adobe as the programme that opens all unknown files. As the result all the programmes on my computer including Mozilla Firefox were opened by Adobe. I deinstalled Adobe and then everything got back to normal. But when I reinstalled Adobe, the problem came back. Once more Adobe opens all the files and I dont know what to do.

It´s not clear to me if your problem is this:
