Why do all my documents open when I open Pages?

Hello Apple!
     My problem is regarding pages. Every time I open pages, whether im choosing a document or just choosing the Icon to begin a new doc., each and every of my previous documents open as well.  I have never had this probem before with the same computer and it started not to long ago. Im writing this question because this problem is becoming quite annoying now and I would like to know what to do in order to fix it. Thank you very much! Cheers!

There is a manual solution and an automatic one. The manual solution is to Close your documents when you are finished with them rather than leaving them open. The automatic solution is to go to System Preferences > General and check the selection "Close Windows when Quitting an Application".

  • Why do all pdf documents open only for a few seconds and then close?

    I'm on a Mac Book Pro using OSX 10.8.5
    I just updated Adobe Acrobat X Pro to to 10.1.8

    It could be because you haven't accepted the license agreement.  I woud suggest that you open the Applications folder, double click on the EULA.
    And this is the Reader forum, not the Acrobat one...

    why do all the programs open when the mini is turned on, and how to avoid this?

    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.
    Remove all apps listed there.
    And check /Library/StartupItems
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/StartupItems
    Click Go then move all items from the StartupItems folder to the Trash.

  • When I get the Please wait... message and have the latest Adobe update why won't the document open?

    When I get the Please wait... message and have the latest Adobe update why won't the document open?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version ("latest" means nothing)?
    Is this a local or only PDF?  If online, in what browser?

  • I hate this, now all pdf documents open with Adobe reader x

    Until recently all pdf documents opened nicely with Adobe Acrobat which was installed with the creative suite CS5. Recently I had to update the Acrobat plugin for Firefox and I don't know what exactly was installed but somehow I ended up with Adobe Reader x on my computer and now when I open pdf documents from my hard drive they all open with an Adobe reader which I hate. How that reader managed to install and change my experience without me noticing? Now I have to change file associations. Do I need this reader and what is it for when I have a full version of Acrobat?
    I will greatly appreciate your help.

    Unfortunately, once Reader is installed, uninstalling it will require you to repair your Acrobat installation. You should be able to right click on a PDF and select Open With and set Acrobat as the default. Also, be sure that Reader is not part of the startup of Windows (you can use Start>Run>msconfig to check that) and also open current tasks (ctrl-alt-del) and be sure AcroRd32 or similar file is not running in the background. Be aware that AcroTray is part of Acrobat and is needed for PDF creation.

  • Impact on all purchasing documents print when we upgrade from 4.6 to ECC6.0

    I came across this below statement about PO print.  What is the impact on all purchasing documents print when we upgrade to ECC6.0 from 4.6c? How to overcome it ??
    “It seems the way a PO is printed in 4.6c is somewhat different from the way it prints in ECC 6.0. In 4.6c, it references elements within the PO form (MEDRUCK) which holds the data to print a PO. In the ECC 6.0, it doesn't seem to reference these elements on the PO form and so it must put the data out to the form (MEDRUCK) in a different way. We actually use a customized version of the PO form (ZPO_MEDRUCK) and in our testing of the ECC 6.0 it will not print due to the data is not getting out to the form like it was in the 4.6c version. We are getting errors identifying the data is undefined when the new version in ECC 6.0 has defined this PO data different than the way it was in 4.6c. “

    Hi Venkat,
    I think you might have the change the form name in Nace.
    Secondly, in you custorm form if you have any routines called then check the declaration-I am stressing on this because when you look at your PO item fields in 4.6c and ECC 6.0 , there are two new fields added -Iam not sure whether this would help you but just check in case .
    lET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE
    Thanks

  • 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 do all my images open as grayscale?

    No matter what I change my settings to, all images I open in photoshop come in as grayscale.  Any suggestions?

    I'd like to tack on my question as well since it sounds similar.
    I'm using PhotoShop CS4 and I've opened a black and white jpg.  It's solid black with a white background and 300ppi.  It's a ridiculously simple image.  All I'm trying to do is change the black to a color.  I wanted to just grab the bucket tool and dump on some color.  However, when I selected the color as my foreground color, I noticed I'm no longer in RGB (seems only Adobe gods know why).  It's showing a grayscale horizontal bar in my colors tab on the top right.  I also see a rainbow colored horizontal bar.  Color picker worked fine but as soon as I chose my color it went back to gray as my foreground color.
    How do I get back to RGB?  I've fiddled around with this for 2 1/2 hours looking for solutions online and in the help sections on the program.  I'm now more educated on what colors are and how they're used and their deep geneauology but unfortunately, none of that has been able to tell me how to flip back to RGB. 
    Also, when I tried opening a new blank image the color selection was fine.  Do you think it's something funky with the image locking in a grayscale?  I also tried reopening PhotoShop. 
    HOLD ON!!  I FIXED IT!!
    Well, I hope this helps Crystal (above).
    I hit the "Image" tab, "Mode" and saw that "grayscale" was checked.  I have no idea how that happened but I selected "RGB" and I have color.  I'm sure you were all holding your breath, right? 

  • Why not all billing documents are posted to CO-PA for condition types?

    Hello!
    I have following problem.
    In transaction KE4I I have configured several condition types to post for specific value fields.
    For some billing types it works but for some doesn't work.
    For all domestic invoices it works but for abroad invoices it doesn't work.
    Billing documents for abroad invoices are also posted to CO-PA but for another value fields, not for that I expect.
    Where is problem?
    I am waiting for help.
    Best regards
    Bogdan

    Hi.
    In both pricing procedures there are same condition types. The only difference was check box "Condition is used for statistics".
    After marking this check box it still doesn't work.
    There are placed the same condition types in all billing documents (domestic and abroad) . So I am supprised that for domestic billing documents field value in CO-PA is calculated for condition types placed in KE4I.
    But for abroad billing documents the same field value is not calculated for the same condition types placed in  KE4I.
    Where is a problem?
    I need help.
    Best regards

  • Why does my Safari shut down when loading a page?

    Why does my Safari shut down when I'm trying to load a page?

    Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
    If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

  • All Numbers documents open when booting Numbers

    I may come off ignorant asking this, but when I open Numbers on my MBA it also opens all my numbers documents so if I only want to work on one document I have to manualy close the others. As of now I only have 3 documents created so it's not a big deal but I don't want it be a bigger problem later. I have my documents syncing with Icloud so I don't know if that's causing it or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That is the resume feature that was added with Lion last year. If you don't want documents to reopen when you launch a program, it's worth getting in the habit of closing them before quitting. But Mountain Lion does give you the option to automatically close documents in System Preferences > General.

  • Why do ALL my bookmarks open when I double click the Safari Icon!?!?

    Have I caused this or is it malfunctioning? And then I usually have to force close it because Option+X on the tab is not working for such a situation most of the time.

  • Why are all my tabs lost when I close my session?

    Recently got a new computer and downloaded Firefox, but it isn't like the version I'm used to - there's no tab groups, and when I close my session I lose all the tabs I had open. I have Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox v 6.0.2 - is that the wrong version? Also, I tried to find a setting to save tabs in the Options menu, but didn't see anything.

    Why in HELL didn't Firefox tell us about this ridiculous "new" way to restore previously opened tabs?? Good Lord, give us the info window again, or at least have the option to put a 'button' to click to restore.
