Why does Preview open Private pictures during restart?

I just bought Mountain Lion from Apple Store and it is now downloaded and installed on my MacBook Air.
I do not like its automatic reopening during computer start-up of any applications that were open before computer shut-down.
Nor do I like any application like Preview to pop open some private pictures that had last been open in that application, while restarting such application by clicking an unrelated new .pdf file.
But this is exactly what is happening. I tried to change this in Finder Preferences but noticed there is no way to do it there, as a matter of fact I discovered that the "Advanced" option in the Finder Preferences window opens absolutely nothing!
How can I stop all these automatic start-ups and resulting possible privacy compromises?

  • Why does Photoshop open new pictures to 72dpi?

    Why does Photoshop open new pictures to 72dpi? It seems to be done by default...

    It's not clear what you mean by "open new pictures".
    You can open existing pictures, in which case Photoshop reads and displays the image file's original resolution (in ppi).
    Or you can start a new image by choosing File > New... in which case Photoshop will populate the fields of the New dialog with dimensions and resolution most recently entered, OR with the dimensions and resolution of image data on the OS clipboard.

  • Flash player 11.5 does not open background pictures of my website

    Flash player 11.5 does not open background pictures of my website scilang.com as well as many others'. 11.4 is ok.  However, 11.5 has really messed it up.
    I tried it with IE9, Chrome, Firefox. No. No with Flash Player 11.5. Why are such things happening all the time?

    I can't comment publicly on dates for future releases, sorry. 
    For users that have selected "Allow Adobe to Install Updates" during installation, they will automatically get the update as soon as it becomes available.  There is some lag in uptake in general (we're really only about halfway into the adoption curve for Flash Player 11.5), so the problem won't be resolved overnight.  If you have access to the source, you may want to update your content temporarily to work around the issue.  If it's just a generic slideshow, you might want to consider replacing it with an AS3-based alternative.  Lightroom distributes a nice flash-based slideshow, for instance.
    There are a couple actionscript-based workarounds you can implement in your content until the next Flash Player 11.5 maintenance release has been deployed to the general release audience.
    There's one workaround here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4841531#4841531#4841531
    The root of the issue is that the onEnterFrame event isn't getting emitted by MovieClips that embed JPEGs in ActionScript 2 content.  This was an unfortunate side-effect of an unrelated graphics optimization.  We have tests that check that onEnterFrame is emitted, and that JPEGs are rendered, but not one where we confirm that a SWF embedding a JPEG emits an onEnterFrame event.  Because the change was isolated to AS2, we didn't see it in our manual URL testing either, as that testing tends to focus on the most popular sites on the web, which usually host newer AS3-based content.  We've added tests to cover this case to prevent it from breaking again in the future.
    Anyway, apologies again for the inconvenience.  Hopefully this information will help you workaround the problem until the next update goes out.

  • Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?

    Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?  It is intermittent, but CHRONIC, and I am forced to "repair" the installation, or reboot by computer.  This has been a problem since upgrading to Windows 8 and installing the only Acrobat XI update.  Feedback most welcome and appreciated, but an Adobe FIX would be the best solution.

    10/4 to all, same problem here with Save or Save As in Acrobat XI Pro using Win 8 Pro, is it Adobe or Win 8 or both causing the problem.
    FYI, I just retired and am trying to archive/reduce my printed material and pictures to pdf, this continuing problem is really the pits.................

  • Why does Mozilla open when I open a Tiff file in Photoshop?

    Ever since I started using Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit, I noticed that every time I double click to open a .TIFF file in Bridge, Firefox opens and puts the image file name in the address bar. Photoshop continues to open also, but why is Firefox opening? I have already changed in the Tools>Options>Applications so that image/tiff files open in PS CS5. So why does Firefox open?

    What's the file association set to for the TIFF extension in the Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types ?

  • Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

    Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

    Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
    I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
    It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
    I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

  • Why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting

    why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting and how can it be fixed

    It would be nice if you could include a kernel panic log to verify that your problem is...
    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
             com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
                dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000

                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
    Good luck,

  • Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?

    Hi,
    Thanks for reading this.
    Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?
    This JUST started happening only 4 days ago.
    Most recent installation was Limewire, but I removed it to see if this problem would go away.
    I have 3 internal drives (See drive types below) that all have OS 10 on them in order to be able to boot up from either drive in the event of trouble.
    However...
    No matter WHICH drive I use as the start up drive... the computer STILL restarts itself after it is properly commanded to shut down.
    Prior to the Limewire install... the ADOBE creative suite was installed.
    There is a Lexmark X83 printer hooked to the computer, which, it seems doesn't matter if it is left on or off... the computer still restarts itself.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Tommy!
    If you still have problems, trash the following three preference files, then shut down and do a PMU reset. (PMU reset procedure for the QS is the same as is shown at the link for the Gigabit Ethernet.)

    Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

  • Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Because you are saving it to the desktop, Pages documents are actually zipped files and Stuffit is set to uncompress desktop files.
    Either don't save to the desktop (bad practice) or check the preferences in Stuffit to see if you can turn off unstuff files on desktop.

  • Does not open some pictures at Picasa

    Firefox does not open some pictures on picasa where IE opens them all.
    This only happens at Picasa, with everyones albums. Only about 1/2 show up and the ones that do not cannot be opened.

    It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
    See:
    * [[Images or animations do not show]]
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
