Safari only opens browser window when holding shift down at launch
I find this a bit odd.
I was having Safari (v3.2.1) problems in that it was hanging only a few seconds after launch and followed the advice I read on a couple of threads to launch Safari holding down the shift key.
I'm not sure if it was that or re-installing Safari or resetting it or deleting preferences or caches because by the time it had started working again I had done all of the above so many times I had lost count. That said, re-installing Safari on its own might not have worked but carrying out all the other procedures afterwards seems to have done something.
Anyway, I'm now left with this weird issue that when I launch Safari I don't get a window. I can't get one by choosing 'New Window' from the 'File' menu either. But if I hold down 'shift' when I launch Safari it seems to work OK. So, I can get it to work but it is far from ideal. Any suggestions, please?
Hi HS,
Thanks for that.
I've had so many problems with Safari over the last 24 hours or so that I have carried out all the procedures I have found on here - including the one you suggest) numerous times. Of course, I forgot that when I delete the preferences, this setting reverts to its default state, i.e. on. Hence it was on when I checked. I've deselected it now and it seems to be working. I'm not being too optimistic, though, as I have been at this point before and it has all gone terribly wrong again in a very short time - back to Safari hanging after a few seconds.
For now, everything is working OK but I feel like I'm walking on egg shells. I'm actually posting this in Firefox.

I can restart Firefox only after rebooting my laptop.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
<br />
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br /> -
Restrict flash to open browser window
hello everyone,
i'm making an application in which there is one section for
game.
Now this games have links which when clicked opens new
browser...this ias what i dont want..........
How can i restrict flash game to open browser window?
i dnt want flash game to open browser window when those links
in the games are clicked...
One restriction with me is that i can not edit that games so
i can't remove links from games...
hope there will be sol. to this prob.
thanks in advance.................Something like that could maybe help:
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("iexplore http://www.google.com");
but it's not platform independent + I couldn't let it work in that way. It only worked with Runtime.getRuntime.exec("c:\\windows\\....\\iexplore.exe http://www.google.com");
But it's surely not platform independent.
So the answer is in fact 'I don't know'.
And if you ask why am I writing all that then, the answer is 'I don't know' too.

Finder Windows always open new windows when clicking subfolders
since i upgraded to 10.5.6, my finder windows only open new windows when I click on a subfolder. this is no matter what I do with the setting in preferences.
Also, my finder windows no longer display the side bars with folder icons.
I searched my library (and whole computer) for the finder preferences .plist file and can't find it. (was going to delete it and re-create it).
Any ideas here?Thanks for the star.
The default of Finder’s Find will not search that folder, but you can change the pulldown menu just beneath where it says Search, from Kind to System files by selecting Other from that menu and then scroll down the next window and check the box next to System files. You’ll then need to change the pulldown menu next to that to “include” instead of “don’t include.”
The next time you do a search using Find, that pulldown menu will have System files as an option, if you think you might want to search for something in your home folder. -
iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?
What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions -
Safari 4 opens multiple windows but when pressing F9 only one is shown
So when i open safari it really only opens 1 window but when i press F9 to show all things i have on the desktop it will show that there are 3 or 4 other boxes - as if there were windows there but when i highlight and click on them it just takes me back to my original safari window. it will do this even when the only things running are safari and then dashboard and finder. I've done restarts and reset finder. Is anyone having this problem or has it already been resolved??? i'm going to the apple store sunday but i'm out of town till then.
I'm having the same issue as well.

I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in safari
Hi. I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in Safari. Also in old version of Safari, and in old System. In some windows, i can save the document, only now i can see this, open from pdf reader. Thank for some info.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again. -
Safari opens multiple windows when I open it
When I open safari it opens multiple windows (260 to be exact) all of the same website and causing a temporary freeze of my computer. Then safari crashes and I have to force quit. Any suggestions? I have already unchecked restore windows in my system preferences.
ThanksTry to reset safari via the safari menu .. Also if you can quit safari from the safari menu holding down the option key and pick quit and close all windows it might resolve your issue.

I have moved my itunes library from old computer to portable hard drive and then on, into new laptop, in music file. However I am then unable to open I-Tunes when holding down the shift button as directed in step 4 - this means I am not seeing the library choice box and cannot synch the tunes into ITunes library - any tips please?........Alan
Close iTunes. Click the icon to launch iTunes and immediately press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. If iTunes opens normally, close it, and try again.

Thank You in advance for help. Best regardsHello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

IE opening multiple windows when searching google only.
We have a problem where IE opens multiple windows when searching in Google. As a result of this we are receiving Google sorry page informing us that Google is receiving automated search requests from our public IP. Is there any quick fix to this problem
apart from restoring and reset setting in IE.
Is anybody else facing this issue.?

Open browser window behavior in Mac not working right
I am simply selecting my text in my html document and then selecting "Open Browser Window" from the Behaviors panel. I then put in the info for the file I want it to open along with the size, etc...
When I test it in the browser (Safari) the link works but the rollover features don't show ... it doesn't show as a link in the browser window. I followed the tutorial exactly and the instructor's browser showed the link as a rollover. It's driving me a bit crazy.
I'm using CS5 on the latest version on Mac OS (Snow Leopard).
I can put up an example if needed.
Thanks so much for any assistance.

Do you have that page on your site? Is that your home page?
Perhaps you have some hidden redirection going on via an htaccess file? I dunno.... -
I have rewritten my site in Dreamweaver because I thought
this was a problem with the export from Go Live.
When I tell a link to open in a new browser window it works
but the older window also update to the linked page. This pretty
much defeats the purpose of it opening another browser window.
The link that is the problem is the link to "
http://www.yourmaclifeshow.com"
It's the only one I have put in so far since it doesn't seem to
work properly.You might also mention the need to apply this behavior to the
<a> tag
surrounding the <img>. It's a common mistake, and it
leads to other
undesirable effects.
