Pages 09 opening to a Finder Window - not the Pages new docuemnt screen?

I have a NEW 2012 iMAC - all the latest software. Pages 09 opens always to a Finder window, not the Pages 09 new document screen. How can I get Pages 09 to skip the finder window when I open Pages and go directly to the Pages new document page? In summary, I want to skip the Finder window that's opening every time I click on Pages in my dock and go directly to the Pages new document screen.
Thank you

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your reply.
so far I havent noticed any repurcussions on the Mac itself...
Can we take that to mean that the iCloud threat to delete stuff from my Mac was an idle threat? And the iCloud bully is really a wimp?

Ian.

  • Dialog Boxes & Finder windows not the same contents

    So I'm trying to upload a file to a website. It's usually a file I just created. The problem is, Safari doesn't seem to know the file exists unless I quit and re-launch it. I can see the file in the Finder. But the Safari dialog box doesn't have it. Strange eh? I've seen this before with other apps. I've even seen files appear in dialog boxes before my very eyes!
    So my question: Is there some sort of dialog box software-bot that trolls up & down the file system looking for changed states (files/folders added/deleted)? If so, it's a slow bot (I said re^tar^ded, but it got censored - teehee). Or maybe it needs some coffee. But I don't know anything about said bot, or even if it's a bot. All I know is this: if it's gonna demand Starbucks, I'd rather spend my money on a Tiger update.
    Lil help? Thanks.
    And please don't suggest I repair permissions, zap PRAM, reset NVRAM, reboot, press the CUDA switch or any of those other things I've tried 1000 times. I know generally what those things do, and what they fix, and they don't feel related to this issue.
    Maybe a cron script somewhere can fix this? or pre-binding update? Actually trying pre-binding update now...

    Hmmm, so it did work normal for awhile?
    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does Finder work in the new account?

  • When I click to open Mozilla icon on my desktop, the page does not open & I cannot access it unless I type it in an Internet Explorer page?

    When I click to open Mozilla icon on my desktop, the page does not open & I cannot access it unless I type it in an Internet Explorer page? When clicking on the Icon sometimes it will flash to the right of my desktop screen but does not open for access.

    Hi Dave, thanks for your answer.
    I have tried a several times to repairing permissions, restarting the mac, relaunched Finder, but no difference.
    I copied the download folder to the dock...there I can open the files, but not deleting them or copying them.
    When I open finder, then I click on the folder Download, after a while of thinking, it throws me out and back to the desktop.
    already tried to sign in with the guest user account, then I am able to open the download folder.(but not seeing my files)
    When I am trying to change the download folder in Safari, it also throws me out and gives me a error report ,for sending to Apple.
    I think it's a settings fault or i think my download folder is locked. Almost desperat, already called support center,
    They couldn't help, for free, due the 90 days free online help i have reached. If I want to solve this problem, they could try it , but it cost me almost 50 euros.
    hope there is someone, who's knowing this problem.
    By the way, I think it also could be that I dragged some downloaded music to the desktop, and dragged some folder that has the settings. Now its changed???
    Or I was downloading something, and deleted the files in the download folder while it was unpacking and reparing the files.
    It's not easy for a beginner Mac user (3 months) to already solve this problems.
    Can you follow me? And seems this problem familiar to you?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks

    bring finder to the foreground and hold down shift +option + g. This will open a window where you can go to the path of the folder directly. Copy this from the original folder (get the path of the folder by selecting it and clicking command + i). This will give you the folder specifications including the path. Copy and paste the path into the "go to" window in finder and a new window will be opened.

    To unhide the Library folder, open up Terminal (just type"Terminal" into spotlight) and type:

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

    How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Going to files by typing in Finder window not working

    My entire life using Mac OSX I have opened finder windows and then began typing the name of the file or folder I wanted in order to get the finder to select that file/folder.
    For example, if I have my home open I just type "Do" and the Documents folder gets selected. Then I can hit Cmd-O to open it.
    This stopped working today, and I'm perplexed and annoyed about it.
    I installed the Security Update 2006-007 last night and so I'm wondering if that broke this.
    Anyone having the same problem/know how to fix it. Not being able to do this is making using my computer significantly more annoying.
    Thanks you!
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Also, I just tried clicking on the sidebar (I tried applications, desktop, and documents) and it will not navigate away from this window. If I exit the window and open a different finder window, it works. So what is it about this particular folder?

  • Finder window not working properly

    This only just started happening, and it only seems to be happening to one or two folders...
    First of all, this is what it looks like
    as you can see, the file names look funky.
    Also, if I edit a picture or delete one, it doesn't register the change unless I exit the folder and bring it back up.
    Anyone know what's going on here and how I can fix it? This also happened when I tried to make a ringtone a few weeks back. I am running Yosemite.

    Also, I just tried clicking on the sidebar (I tried applications, desktop, and documents) and it will not navigate away from this window. If I exit the window and open a different finder window, it works. So what is it about this particular folder?

  • Finder window not showing

    After upgrading to Lion, I am no longer able to use cmd+Tab to go to the Finder windows. However, when I am shifting between spaces, I am able to see all the finder windows in the background. SImilarly, if I am using expose, I can see all the Finder windows, but am unable to click and navigate to them. Any thoughts? I am no Power user. So, pardon my ignorance.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the same problem of invisible finder windows on a Mac Book Pro.
    Shortly:
    I cannot open any finder window (to access files and folders) in any way after a Mac Book reboot.
    Tried by clicking a finder icon in a Dock
    Tried by clicking a New Finder Window menu
    Summary of other indicies of the problem
    The problem of the invisible finder windows has appeared after an upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.2
    The problem still persists in the same manner after an upgrade to the latest Lion 10.7.3
    The finder window shortly shows up when sliding between "desktops" when using the "three finger scroll gesture", but it is not manipulable, and disappears when the screen settles on the next "desktop".
    But Finder knows about all its open windows even though they are not not visible on a desktop. All windows are listed as an items inside the Finder Window menu. But clicking and of that window items has no effect ..... the related window still does not appear.
    This problem appears after a reboot of the Mac Book ..... when the Mac Book is powered up and Mac OS X is freshly launched.
    But ..... in the Dock ..... When I change the Option state ("All Desktops", "This Desktop", "None" values) in any way, all invisible finder windows suddenly appear. After that action opening and closing all other finder windows works well ..... until the next reboot of the Mac Book.
    The problem appeares only within my Standard User login account (Czech language). It does not appear within an Admin User login account (English language). Opening and closing finder window works well within an Admin User login account from the beginning without any problem. I do not know, whether it is related to languages or not
    I have performed Disk Permission Verifications several times, but without any effect.
    I have also deleted the "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist" file several time and also without any effect ..... I have been deleting from a Terminal of the Admin User login account when Standard User login account is logged off ..... and of course I have deleted the file related to the Standard User login account.
    Thank you very much for some usefull hint.
    With my best regards
