When opening numbers why do all spreadsheets open

upon opening numbers, all of my saved numbers files open.  why is that happening and how do i stop it

If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. You can quickly close all open windows in an application by typing ⌘ ⌥ W (Command + Option + W) or hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the red close button.
Other things you can do to turn off this resume feature:
In Moutain Lion you can set System Preferences > General to close windows when quitting an application.
Try Mountain Tweaks. The option to turn off resume is at the bottom of the left-hand column under Lion.

  • When I open Numbers it displays every spreadsheet I've ever worked on. I have 100 windows displaying spreadsheets. What am I doing wrong? How to I turn this feature off?

    When I open Numbers it displays every spreadsheet I have evr worked on! The screen fills with 100 windows showing different spreadsheets. How do I turn this feature off?

    As Jerry said, if you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. If you don't want to have to close everything first try Lion Tweaks or the latest version of TinkerTool. Both have the option to turn off the resume feature for individual applications.

  • Why do all my word documents open when I open word

    why do all my word documents open when I open word

    You may have to compare user permissions and privileges in documents to see if there is a presence of odd permissions in the Get Info box available by single-clicking a document's ICON and see this area in each.
    How was the application installed? Are you running an Admin account? Have you repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility, or any other routine steps to see what happens next?
    There may even be a Console log of events that happen when you open and launch a document stream involving this Word phenomena, in Console utility, on or about the time these events occur. The logs can be amazingly complex, and vary in helpfulness. I use some of them to see what happens and when, or if there is a crash, some can point to hardware vs software sources of problems. Some resident experts in ASC are fairly good at knowing what they mean or how to decipher the system logs from there.
    Not sure of the exact cause...
    Good luck & happy computing!

    You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
    Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
    Find your profile folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
    Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

  • Briefly two different spreadsheets come up when opening numbers on iPad Air

    Greetings,
    Has anyone seen this when opening Numbers on IOS 7 ?
    Been using numbers and its been easy as it should. I shut down apps after use.
    - HW/SW Details: iPad Air 128Gb, wifi only. Numbers IOS app 2.2.1(1263) and IOS 7.1.(11D167).
    Observation; Sometimes when Numbers is run on iPad Air, a strange thing happens upon initial startup of Numbers.
    Typically my steps are like this,
    1. Press the green Numbers icon to open
    2. For a 1/2 sec or less I see one spreadsheet appear, and then the Spreadsheet/Workbook closes and another opens in its place.
    It doesnt happen alot, but enough that I've noticed it half a dozen times.
    Its like Numbers has a 'cache' of spreadsheets in memory to choose from and choose the wrong sheet to open.
    Numbers might offer to open the last sheet worked on, if the sheet was the previously sheet opened.
    Anyone else seeing this ?

  • Why do ALL browser windows open when I open a new browser window

    I don't know if this is a feature, but I find it ANNOYING. Say I have 2 browser windows minimized. I decide to open another window. Why do ALL minimized browser windows and how can I stop it.

    Found solution. Had to disable Ask.com toolbar.
    <<< The Solution
    The ASK.com Toolbar can cause other windows to get maximized.
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why are InDesign text frames uneditable, or converted to outlined objects, when opened in CS4?

    When opening a CS3 Layout in CS4 to make client text changes, all the text frame box edges (on their appropriate layers) are shown as dotted lines, and none of the type is editable!
    I restored the old version, and opened in CS3 old version, and the same thing applies! Arggggh - there must be a frame preference that I don't know about or an instruction accidentally given.
    How do I convert the text boxes back to editable regions? Got a deadline and am miffed.
    I am a 20 year veteran of Pagemaker/Indesign/CS and this has never happened to me before!

    Dotted lines for frame edges means that the item is on the Master Page. That’s why you can’t edit items, because they are on the Master, not on the numbered page. Either Command-Shift-click on the object to edit it or edit it on the Master Page. You should find out why so much of the document was built on the Master Page. Either the designer meant this to be a template for multiple existing or future pages, or someone just wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize they were designing on the Master.

  • Mac Pro accessing SMB shares on a windows server. After being left on all night, the MP gets "file unavailable" messages when opening files on the share.

    Windows Server 2003 accessed by several PCs and Macs without previous incident.  This one Mac Pro after it's been left on all night (running jobs, or just left idle), and a user tries to reconnect to an SMB share, can go to Finder, Go, Connect to Server, enter the Server info as normal, login as normal, view the directories and files as normal, but as soon as they try to open anything they are given one of the following messages:
    "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \ /). (<filename>)" - when opening a word document
    "<filename> could not be found.  Check the spelling of the file name and verify that the file location is correct.  If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted." - when opening an excel spreadsheet
    Note that these messages are popping up AFTER the user has double-clicked on them to open them.  So the files are certainly there and correctly named (and contain only letters, numbers and underscores).  After restarting the Mac Pro, the error messages are gone and the files can be accessed without problem. Would like it so that they can connect to the server without having to restart every day.

  • Why PSA data show red status when opened but green on PSA page?

    Run RSA1 -> click PSA to open PSA page, locate one infosource and find the PSA under it, find the status column shows it's green, but when opening it, find the 1st column shows red for each row.  How does the inconsitance occur?
    BTW, if we open the infopackage monitor for the above one, find a weird thing is that each request get two consecutive processes running with a circle of red ball and green ball in the left frame.  Double click one of them, in the right frame and click the monitor Status tab, the msg window is as following (in between two dashed lines below):
    Incorrect data records - error requests (total status GREEN)
    Diagnosis
    Data records were recognized as incorrect.
    System response
    The valid records were updated in the data target and can be used in reporting.
    The incorrect records were not written to the data target, but were posted retractively under a new request number in the PSA.
    Procedure
    Check the data in the error requests, correct the errors, and post the error requests.
    Sounds like the data failed to uploaded to data target due to error in PSA, but why the status show green in somewhere?   And if clicking the Details tab, all show green!  Weird!
    Thanks

    Hi Kevin,
    In your InfoPackage Update tab, click the Error Handling button. It seems that the Valid records update, request green option is chosen. This is why you see the green request and some error records.
    This means that the corect reocrds were loaded and are available for reporting, but the incorrect ones were left behind. This is used to check the erro records separatelt so that they do not disrupt the entire data load.
    Hope this helps...

  • Why does some text convert to outlines when opening a PDF in AI?

    I often have to open PDFs saved from InDesign CS5 in Illustrator CS5 (Mac). These PDFS are saved from InDesign using Press or PDFX1-a settings.
    When I open them in AI, I get the warning that "to preserve appearance, some text has been outlined".
    Of course, I do not want this to happen.
    The text that gets outlined is nothing special. It is seemingly at random within a paragraph or within a cell of a table. In the screen shot below, live text has the blue underline; outlined text does not.
    I can see no rationale for it. There is no transparency involved. Just black text on no background. There is no special "appearance" that needs to be preserved. Fonts are all Adobe OTF (Myriad Pro shown below).
    Can anyone explain why this happens?

    PDFs are not supposed to be edited as a rule.
    Lots of odd things can happen to text (but also other objects) when you open a PDF - that is not a pdf with the editable Illustrator file saved within it - and try to edit it.
    Illustrator is not a general purpose editor of pdf files.
    PDF files are supposed to be an end-format, not a format that you edit.
    What happens to text in a pdf when opened in Illustrator is perfectly normal. There isn't really much you can do about it except recreate the text in Illustrator from scratch, with the desired font, and re-export to the pdf-version you need.
