Old Libraries keep opening up

Is there any way how to stop an InDesign Library from opening up every time I open InDesign. I have a Library with items (photos, page snippets, etc) which always opens up when I restart InDesign even if I have not opened the original InDesign file to which the Library was created for.

Peter, I tried that, and it didn't work, but you set me on the right track.
What finally worked was this:
1. I reset the workspace
2. Then closed the Library
3. Overwrote the workspace (by saving a workspace with the same name name, with that Library closed)
4. Then clicked reset workspace again
5. Quit and restart InDesign.
Finally! No unwanted Library file opening up.
By the way, for others with this problem. I tried various combinations of the above steps. With any of these left out, the Library kept on popping up when restarting InDesign.

After Aperture 3 update, I can't access old libraries. It tells me to close and relaunch but when I do this it just opens again on the same library. Please help!

I have just downloaded the latest iOS update for my computer, and then I was unable to use Aperture until I upgraded its software also. I did this, and it seemed to work fine on relaunch with new version - the last library I had open worked fine. BUT yesterday I tried to open a different library and I got a message saying
"the selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch"
I click the relaunch button and it relaunches but it just opens on the same library again. I don't know how to make it relaunch properly with the different library. Please help!! Thanks

TThe message is a bit deceptive the old libraries need to be upgraded before they can be used. To upgrade quit Aperture select one of the old libraries with the Finder and double click it. This will open Aperture on that library and ask if you want to upgrade it.
WWhile the procedure is safe it is always a good idea to have a backup of the libraries before doing this.

When I want to mail a web-page or link firefox keeps opening new windows and cannot be stopped.

My laptop is a Samsung R730 (quite happy with it). I use Eudora for e-mailing. If I want to mail a web-page or link and click under 'file'to send it, Firefox starts opening new tabs without stopping up to over a hundred. I have to brutally switch off my lap-top, start agaiu. Restart Firefox which wants to open all the old tabs, click it off quickly. After that I can reopen to normal.

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

Before I updated to ios5 there was a "number" on the task bar next to bookmarks showing all the windows I like to keep open. Now I can't find the setting to go back to that feature. Help!! I just want to be able to click on the number to get to my windows

Before I updated to ios5 there was a number lit up on the task bar (next to bookmarks) which were all the windows I like to keep open. Now, after updating I can't find that feature in settings. I don't like all the different tabs along the top. Can anyone help me please?? I just want to click on the number and have all of my open windows there!

I don't think that is an option. iOS 5 new features is tabbed browsing, it replaced the old window interface.

IPhoto 9.6, can update only 1 out of 6 old libraries

I have upgraded from OSX 10.9 to Yosemite (10.10.1) and then from my previous version of iPhoto (don’t remember the exact version) to iPhoto 9.6.
At the first opening, iPhoto asked to update the default library to work properly with the new version. The process started and after an additional request to repair the permissions, it ends quickly and correctly (the library size is 26 GB).
Since I have more than one library I tried to do the same process for all libraries but iPhoto always starts the process and never ends. When the process starts I always get the request to update the library and after few seconds the correct structure of the database appears in the Source List area but the Viewing Area remains totally black with the spinning wheel in the center.
I went through most of the discussions I found in this forum and I think to have tried all the suggested walkaround but I never solved my problem: I can open correctly only the library that was first updated but no way to end the update process for any of the remaining libraries.
Here below the list of what I have already tried:
- reboot
- repair disk permissions with disk utility
- run iPhoto Library Upgrader; all the libraries were already compatible with the current iPhoto version
- restore libraries from a Time Machine backup
- check libraries content; all the pictures are still present in the Data folder (the libraries size ranges from 364 MB to 21 GB)
- run iPhoto First Aid; tried all the 4 options
- disintall iPhoto and re-install it again
- run the update process overnight; after more than 10 hours the spinning wheel was still there
Any ideas are welcome !
Thanks

I did it but the rebuild process failed. iPhoto Library Manager was only able to rebuild the database (i.e. all the albums were created), pictures are still missing.
I had a look to the error log file and I think that the main issue is related to the fact that iPhoto Library Manager (and maybe also iPhoto 9.6) is looking for the pictures in the Master folder which is not present in any of my old libraries. This is part of the error log file:

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Can I safely delete old libraries?

I notice that I have a LOT of old Libraries, e.g. ITUNES Library 2005-9-12, etc. The older ones run from 3,000k+ to the newest at about 8,700k.
Are these just old backups? Can I get rid of the earlier ones to free up disk space (I assume I'd keep the latest one).
I don't know what these are and just want to make sure I know what I'm deleting!
Thanks!

You could always move them from where they are to the desktop, and then launch iTunes.
If everything seems ok then they aren't needed.
Or is that too simple? No, it's a Mac

I changed my apple ID but the old ID keeps appearing when trying to log in

I changed my apple id and password, but the old id keeps appearing when trying to log in

Did you create a whole new Apple ID or change the email on the Apple ID you had previously? There is a BIG difference. Ocean20 explain quite clearly the problem you are likely having.
Let me explain it this way. If Apps were money, it would be like opening a bank account (your Apple ID), putting a bunch of money (apps) in that account, then opening a new bank account (Apple ID) and wondering where all your money (apps) went.

Airport for Windows unable to update Apple ID, but still gives "Unknown Error" and keeps opening Airport. NEED AN UPDATE!

I found out what's wrong only because I still have an old (2010) Macbook Pro and it's Airport software gets the same error, but it tells me what the problem is and let's me fix it. The problem was I changed my AppleID password and it's apparently stored in the Airport Extreme. The windows version just says Unknown Error and offers Software Update, but there is no update. The problem is Airport Utility keeps opening and repeating this error on all Windows machines. If I didn't have the old mac there would be no way out. Please update Airport for Windows.
PS: I don't have a new Mac because:
1. Price is more than $1,000 higher than comparable PC.
2. No 17" laptop offered.
3. Can get a really good graphics card.
4. Limited availability of the really high performance Intel chips.
5. Price is too high (oh, yes, I said that already).

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

Old emails keep coming back

I am using Mail on a macbook pro with retina display, running OS X 10.9.5. Recently, duplicates of old emails keep coming back into my inbox - unread, as if they were brand new emails. They always come a handful at a time. They show the original dates of receipt, so they appear way down in my inbox and I have to sort by 'unread' to bring them to the top and delete them. There seems to be no rhyme or reason - e.g. some are from contacts, some aren't, some I deleted when I originally received them, some I kept, some I replied to, some I didn't. Any ideas on how to stop this happening?

Cool.
First, when it finds the OLD messages can you actually open them up? If so, you can/should rebuild your Trash Mailbox. I suspect you cannot open the old message though, which points to your Envelope INDEX being messed up.
Quit Mail. Then, under ~/Library/Mail is a file called Envelope Index. Move it to the Trash. Or if that makes you nervous, drag it to the desktop. Open Mail. It will give you a message that will scare you -- a Welcome to Mail or a Mail Message Import window will pop up. This is fine. It will tell you it is importing your mail. Really it sees all your mailboxes but no index so it is creating that index.
See if that doesn't fix your problem.

Tried to save space old libraries and Trashing

Hi everyone. I have the latest vers. of Itunes and just got a Tera byte I thought it'd be better to save space and put all my "itunes" folders on my Tera. I realized that was wrong and now I have a folder with all types of old Itunes libraries some from years ago and Itunes folders. Does anyone know the layout of what it should be clean? i.e. hardrive/music/itunes/itunesmusic ? I want to trash what I don't need. Also when I download an album I tend to trash the album thinkink it would be ok because I've already imported it into itunes. well now Itunes can't find alot of my songs. Do I really need to keep a copy of every cd I have on my drive for itunes? and if so where should they be kept? last one I promise..... can I combine all these old libraries I have?

Thanks Donald!
Bit ? Remins. My workflow is; Import fr.o.m. Camera to iphoto. Delete bad photos. I nerver Edit in iphoto. Move the best by drag and drop to Aperture in the dock, and do all editing there. Then printing (Epson 2880). Intill now Only jpeg.
But now i want to insreas quality and start working raw. So import raw and jpeg to iphoto. Drag end drop good raws to Aperture. Are the originals in Aperture libraries then,so i can delete it in iphoto libraries, or beter keep it there Also?
What to chose in iphoto preferences; use raw for extern editing? Keep Edith pictures in 16 bit tiff???
And another question. Wien in jpeg, is shoot With My 16 mp camera. Filés are according to iphoto info Around 5mp.
When i export to desktop as "jpeg original size" filés are much Bigger,Around 15 mp.does that mean that the original filé in iphoto is that big and that the fileinfo in iphoto Only showa à preview or à trumbnail??
Apologien My spelling, but My iPad has à verk strong Will, and prefere to "do it My Way".

IWeb keeps opening last project worked on

How do you make iWeb always offer you the choice to choose an existing project or start a new one at startup? It keeps opening the last project.
I have removed all domain files from the usual iWeb folder.
Thanks.

Thanks, Tom,
I was afraid of that. That means you still have to manually hide a domain file after working on it so iWeb does not open it automatically. It would have been better if it gave you the choice of starting a new one or opening an old project every time you start it up.
Or, even better, have a recent projects drop down list.
But thanks! That does answer my question.

Old accounts keep showing

Hi.
I need advice for Mail 5.3 on iMac with OSX 10.7.5
I deleted a couple of old accounts time ago.
Now when I open a message received in my new account, if I click my name as a receiver the old accounts keep showing, even though grayed out.
Is there a way to get rid of these accounts?
Thanks for any help.

Thank you sanjampet, tried your suggestion but the accounts I want to delete do not appear in the V2 folder.
Of the two accounts, one was a hotmail.com and the other was yahoo.com, both unused for years.
They were never sync with anything (like Mobileme or others).
