Hi MIXAYA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. In OS X, by default apps will open with any previously opened documents opening as well. To disable this feature, select "Close windows when quitting an application" from System Preferences > General. To learn more, see this article:
OS X Mavericks: General preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph13803
Close windows when quitting an application
If you quit apps with windows still open on your screen, selecting this checkbox prevents the windows from reopening automatically the next time you start their app.
Cheers,
- Ari

When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file? It does not happen with all the pictures.
Is you library a "referenced" or "managed" library:
That message is generated when a library is a "referenced" library and the location of the files have been moved from where they were when originally imported into iPhoto.
Are the photos that this is happening to in the same Event(s)?
What system are your running? Where is your library located? How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

is there a way of wiping ALL Safari data, i.e. restoring Safari ? I think my Safari has a virus..as every time I open it, a web page called 'search quick' comes up. Its bombarded my Safari with constant pop up adverts almost every time I click!
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
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 folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
com.something.daemon.plist
and
com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
When trying to upload pictures from my camera I get this message although I have uploaded from the same camera in the past, "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

What happens to my "Dock"? I use that every time I open my computer(s), along with various mail accounts, and even the Widgets?. Thanks.
Using iCloud will not affect your dock or your widgets. If you upgrade to iCloud, your MobileMe mail account will be updated to an iCloud account, but that is all that will happen. What exactly is it that you are worried about.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?
I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished. For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know
which direction I will go. I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time. DFS can stay installed for maybe
future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.
Here's a few details of the environment....
1. DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present. But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project
2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server. Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least,
and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble. This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server. The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications,
futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.
3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends. The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.
4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Phillip WindellHi Sharon,
I've done some more reading and have a few new ideas to run past you....
Yes regular DFS wouldn't help and the Namespace would still be different than how it was with just the old server. However I was thinking DFS Replication could replace the purpose of RoboCopy and it would keep the two locations "in sync" until I was ready
to flip over to the new server. DFS Rep can exist independently of a DFS Namespace, so a Namespace is not even needed. It needs a minimum of 2003R2 for the "later & better" DFS Rep but I believe 2003 can do an "in place" upgrade to 2003R2, so I would upgrade
the old server to 2003R2 first. As long as the DFS Rep on 2012R2 and 2003R2 will properly interact I think that will work.
Thanks for the reg info on the Shares. I'm debating if editing that would reg file would really be much better than manually creating the Shares on the new server while the DFS Replication was doing its job. I'll probably export that Key as a
safety move whether I use it or not.
Once the DFS Rep is fully in sync and the Shares are in place on the new server, I figure I would then:
1. Remove the DFS Replication Object (optionally remove DFS Services completely)
2. Rename the old File Server to something else and set it to DHCP
3. Rename the new File Server to the name I want to use and give it the IP the old server had.
How does that sound?

Hi There,
I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.
NelsonEither the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes. -
Word in Office 2004 crashes every time I open a document...?
Hi,
I"m not sure this is the appropriate forum for this, but I thought I'd try here...
I've been running Office 2004 on my G4 for many with no problem. I do very little, occasional Word documents and some Excel. I've stayed at OS 10.3.9 for ages, since I'm stuck there because of my Pro Tools hardware. I change nothing with my system unless something goes wrong. At some point about six months ago, for no apparent reason, every time I tried to open any Word document on the Mac, I would get a message from Word saying that corruption was detected in the document, and would I like to attempt recovery. I click "Ok", then Word crashes. This happens on any and all Word documents. These documents open fine on other computers, Mac or PC. They are not corrupt. But I suppose something is? I Googled around and tried a fix deleting the "FontCache(11)" file from Microsoft/Preferences, but that didn't work. I installed the two major service packs for Office 2004. No go.
If anyone has any tips for what to try next I'd appreciate it! Thanks - Stevehttp://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/neooffice.html
it says has a version that works with 10.3.9. -
My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.
I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
Best of luck. -
I linked my icloud to Pages , but every time I opened it, it downloaded all my staffs which I have downloaded before.
Are you turning off WiFi and then turning it back on again? I can't really think of any reason why the files would download again unless you turned WiFi off or unless you deleted the app and then reinstalled it.

My MacBook prints documents every time I open it up. How can I stop this?
My macbook likes to print my most recently printed documents over again every time I open it up.
Try opening the print queue and deleting the document. If that does not work delete the printer from the printer list and reÏnstall it.
In Mavericks that is found at
> System Preferences > Printers and Scanners > Open Print Queue
I suspect it is the same in older OS X versions.
