Unwanted blank untitled windows.

  My Safari 6.0.5 on my MacPro with OS 10.7.5 opens to a blank untitled window instead of the home page I selected in Preferences. I also get a blank untitled window when I access a web page using a link when Safari is my default browser. Any ideas?

Navigate to the site you want for your Homepage.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the General tab.
Click Set to Current Page
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.list file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari and reset your Homepage one more time.

  • Raw 6.41 update issue blank white window

    Prior to Camera Raw 6.41 update, PSE9 Organize opened and performed as designed.
    Immediately after the update, and clicking Organize, it opens with an empty white square window appearing to mid right and half outside the PSE9 window.
    Organizer will eventually open; however, if one clicks anywhere inside the PSE or blank white square, a dialogue immediately appears noting that PSE is NOT RESPONDING.
    Clicking Edit produces no such blank white widow.
    Once Edit is open and clicking Organizer, the blank white window does not appear.
    I am certain the blank white window is not intended.

    I just spent a long time at the Genius Bar trying to figure this out. What finally worked was updating Safari (because iTunes is part of the web browser). So try that.

  • Often when I click on a link to open an email to go to in an article, it opens a blank FF window and not the email format it should.

    Since upgrading to FF 4.0 when I click on an email link it never opens to that link but to a blank FF window.
    Would FF 5.0 fix that or what do I do?
    I'm afraid to use 5.0 because 4.0 caused a multitude of problems for me, not all fixable.
    Please send reply to [email protected] Somehow I never can get back to it on the Support Forum.

    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox opens as a blank white window when NVidia Stereoscopic 3D is enabled.

    I just recently got a 3D HD Monitor for my desktop and I noticed that if nvidia's steroscopic 3D is enabled, firefox (and thunderbird) open as a completely blank white window. If you right click anywhere in the window it shows up as a blacked out rectangle. The minimize, maximize and close buttons do work if you know where to click.

    I had the same problem as I reported in Bug 643316 in March. I uninstalled the 3D Vision drivers at the time and the problem went away. Today when I installed the NVIDIA 285.27 beta, I installed 3D Vision again, and I can no longer reproduce the problem. It did NOT require a clean install for me.

  • Targeting url hyperlink to blank browser window

    Hi everyone,
    I have an indesign file and have created some hyperlinks that go to specific URLs. After I export to pdf the file is uploaded and is embedded in a browser. When this happens, the problem is that when the hyperlink is clicked, the destination page opens in the same browser window, so I wondered if there was a way to customise the link in Indesign so that it will open in a blank browser window once the pdf file is within the browser. I know I would have to use target="_blank" but I don't know if there's a way to add this within ID.
    I wondered if anyone has had this scenario and whether there's any solution?
    Once again, I appreciate any advice.

    There's the APex javascript function you can use html_PopUp - you can use it in the button's URL Target:
    google it to get more details - you can specify the new window name e.g. myWindow and window size etc
    javascript:html_PopUp('http://www.google.com','myWindow');

  • System Preferences opens to a blank, white window

    I erased my drive when I set up a Dual 2.7GHz G5 tower for sale, and installed Leopard. Updated to 10.5.4. Then found that when I open System Preferences, I get a blank white window. I can go to the dock item and click to select a particular tab, but it only changes the window size. It is still all white.
    The menu bar items also display only white. Any ideas??? I'm stumped. Also sold the G5, so must get it fixed ASAP.

    I don't know if this will help: it used to work well in 10.3 and earlier, and quite often in 10.4.
    Strange behaviour by System Preferences can often be fixed by trashing com.apple.preferencepanes.cache in Home > Library > Caches folder. Trash com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindexcache as well if you have it.
    If this alone doesn't fix things after a logout/login, then trash them again (because it will have regenerated more bad files), together with com.apple.systempreferences.plist in Home > Library > Preferences folder, and in the Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder, the files com.apple.systempreferences.xxxxxx.plist, where xxxxxx = a hexadecimal numeric string.
    You need to log out and log back in again for this to have any effect (or restart if you prefer).
    If none of this helps, you will need to look in your log files to find out why your preference panes are not opening: the simplest way to do this is to use Console.
    Open the Console application from /Applications/Utilities. It will default to showing the "Console Messages" and possibly the "system.log". Use the File menu if necessary to get both these logs open, and use the Broom tool to Clear both windows.
    Now try to open System Preferences and see what appears in either of these windows. Copy and paste it here.
    You may see a message saying "Crash report written to <pathname of crash.log>". If so, click on the "Logs" icon at the top left in the tool bar (preferably in another window). Then, depending on the <pathname of crash.log> in your message, look under either ~/Library/Logs or /Library/Logs by clicking the disclosure triangle, then click the disclosure triangle for "CrashReporter".
    Find the crash log corresponding to your message and select it. It will open at the end of the log. Look back for the last line of asterisks in the log, then post everything after that to the end of the log.

  • Mail regularly open the new blank message window

    After Mail initial start the programm opens a new blank message window. When I try to close it I receive the message "Do you want to save it as a draft and work on it later?"

    Do you see the Outbox in Mail? Does it contain any messages?

  • How can I get a new tab to open to my homepage, instead of a blank, untitled page?

    When I click on the + to open a new tab, I would like that new tab to open to my homepage, not just to a blank, untitled page. I have looked through the help pages, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to make this happen. Is it possible, or am I asking too much?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • Additional blank browser window appears when testing a Web Dynpro app.

    When I run a Web Dynpro Application, I always get a second blank browser window opening at the same time as the application. This is not happening for everyone here though. I guess it's a browser setting but I haven't been able to track it down and it's very annoying having this thing pop up every time.
    Any idea how I can get rid of it?
    thanks,
    Malcolm.

    Hi Enrique,
    suspend and resume plugs don't work on Portal, this is done by Portal Navigation. You can suspend the application by setting the Suspensibility property, but not use the plugs. See here: [Suspend and Resume Plugs|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/d958673ef05f4de10000000a11466f/frameset.htm]

  • Continual blank registration window preventing startup of Photoshop CS 3 on Mac OS 10.6.8

    I have been using Photoshop CS3 Extended for quiet a while without problems.Suddenly a blank registration window shows up whenever I need to use the program.Because I am unable to do anything with a blank window I cannot dispose of it and I cannot get past it to complete the startup process so I have to force quit the program.I have registered this version probably more than once so I can't imagine that to be a problem.
    I always use a partitioned drive with a full copy of the OS and applications installed on it.The same problem exists with that copy of Photoshop as well.
    I am using an early Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.
    I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it from my original disc but the same problem still exists.How do I solve the problem of being "locked out" of the application as I am also locked out of work as well ?
    Upgrading to a later version is not an option at this point.
    Thank you for any help and assistance that will get me working again.

    I am speechless....it worked a charm ! I can't belive that darn window has gone so I just keep starting and quiting the program to be sure it really is gone for good...
    I wish I could solve all my problems by just disconnecting the internet and clicking on a "never" button.....so easy, so darn simple and so elegant it almost defies description !
    Thanks a million Curt...you saved my day as well as my rear end....

  • How do I get rid of blank pdf windows that appear in mission control? My adobe acrobat program isn't even open.

    Everytime I go into mission control I see blank pdf windows. I can't get rid of them except when I restart my computer. Otherwise I have to put them all into 1 desktop in mission control so they don't clutter my other desktops. The windows only appear in mission control and not in the actual active desktop. I've tried closing any open application that uses pdfs but that doesn't help. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    Hi Bill,
    I came to the problem this morning with a fresh perspective and have solved the problem: I realized the text was in Cambria, so I changed it to the dependable Times New Roman. I created the PDF and NO pound signs appeared scattered around in the PDF.
    Ay, fonts!
    Thanks for replying, and have a great day!

    1.         I have a security app on my computer, Flashbrief. I have it checked in the hide column but whenever I turn on the computerit appears in the top menu line.

    Help with any of these will be appreciated.

    1.         I have a security app on my computer, Flashbrief. I have it checked in the hide column but whenever I turn on the computerit appears in the top menu line.
    I've never heard of this software, and cannot find any reference to it online, which is a bit concerning.  What is it supposed to do?  There really isn't much need for security software on a Mac.
    2.         Whenever Iturn on the computer, a new blank document window in MS Word 2011 appears.  I do not have this listed in the login items.
    In Mac OS X 10.7, any applications left open when you shut down or restart are re-opened at startup, and any documents left open in an app when you quit are re-opened when you launch them again.  The former can be controlled by unchecking the box in the restart/shutdown alert:
    You will need to do this each time you shut down or restart, it won't remember that setting.
    The latter can be deactivated by unchecking the box in System Preferences -> General:
    3.         I have a current model of Apple wireless mouse. It keeps getting stuck in text or e-mails and I have to somehowotherwise move the cursor to break it free.
    That does not sound normal, but I don't use a mouse with my MBP, so I can't provide a solution, other than to try replacing the batteries in the mouse.

  • Spool output conatins unwanted blank line

    Hi all,
    I've just written a new program that outputs a report to the spool when run in batch mode. The report looks great aside from an unwanted blank line that appears in the middle of the report when I view the spool...if I run the program from the command line and set the sy-batch variable to write the spool contents to the screen I see no blank line. how do I get rid of the blank line?  Thanks in advacne for any assitance provided.
    Mat

    Hi Mat,
    The blank line you see on the spool (as distinct from the screen) is probably a page break.  The spool will always apply a page format and split the list according to the length of the page.
    I guess you can get round this by creating a page format with the maximum number of lines (99999 lines).
    Regards,
    Nick

  • When I click on the history icon in toolbar, I get a blank library window

    I cannot see my history. When I click on the history icon in the toolbar I get a blank library window. The we address suggests things when I start to type, but I'm not sure if it's history or bookmards.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Unwanted blank pages inserted when creating pdf from scanner

    Hello, when creating a pdf from a document scanned via Adobe Acrobat X Pro, the program inserts an unwanted blank page in between each page  being scanned.  So, if scanning 50 pages, we get 100, etc.  How do we remediate this problem?  We have worked with the default settings, to no avail.  We're using a Fujitsu fi-5530c2 scanner.  We would appreciate any input to help resolve this issue!  Thanks Mark
