Why, when I launch Numbers, is the last-used spreadsheet automatically opened?

When I open Number, either by using the dock, by clicking the application icon or clicking a Numbers document, teh last document I used is always opened. Why is this? How do I prevent it?
Thanks

Did it help?
In fact, it doesn't help because, as I already wrote, when we quit, the app automatically re-activate the feature.
If we apply a real Quit, there is a checkbox in the quit dialog. We must uncheck it to really diasble the feature.
If we restart there is no such a checkox allowing to disable.
I will report this boring inconsistency but there is an alternate way to disable the feature :
press the option key during the quit process.
I used this one several times today and it behave flawlessly.

  • Tabs d0 not close on exit; when restarted, last-used tabs automatically open. How to I close ALL TABS on exit so that nothing re-opens when Firefox 4 is started?

    All last-used tabs remain "visible" and do not close automatically on exit from Firefox 4. This means that when a new session is started, the last-used tab (website) automatically opens. How can ALL TABS be closed on exit from Firefox?

    Go to Tools | Add-ons | Plugins ans disable "My Web Search". This program is spyware and will cause you all sorts of problems. After you disable it, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it.

    Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

    Solution below.
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • When printing PDF Adobe reader auto selects the last used printer

    Hi
    I have an issue on most of my PC's that when I Print a PDF document the Windows default printer (Printer A) is selected.
    If I choose to print to (Printer B) then the next time I open a PDF document (not the same document than before) it automatically selects (Printer B) even though my Windows default printer is still (Printer A)
    So basically it remembers what printer was used last and automatically prints to this printer.
    This is a big issue as we are printing documents to a plotter. When I then print a normal A4 page it default to the plotter as this was the last used printer. This is wasting so much paper as users just assume it always selects the default printer rather than the last used printer.
    Thanks

    How about changing the printer and printing something, then close Firefox and then restart your operating system? See if that helps ....
    I am curious why you need two separate versions of the same printer installed. Is one used on a USB connection and the other part of a network configuration or wireless? If both are network or wireless, are they using a different IP address on the network they are on?
    The only time I have seen a similar problem with Firefox not wanting to default to the "last used" printer was with a USB inkjet and a network connected laserjet (Brother) - the laserjet would go to "sleep" (energy saving mode) and Firefox would switch to the inkjet every time the laserjet was asleep. That problem was eventually solved when the USB inkjet was replaced by a "network" connected inkjet - still can't understand why that made the difference, though.

    Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.

    I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

  • When I close the browser and then re open it it does not go to the home page but opens to the last page that was open when I close it.

    Every time We have been closing the browser for the last few days when we restart the browser, regardless of weather we shut down the computer or not, it reopens to the last page that was opened. I cleared out and deleted the history but it did not help.

    Maybe you currently have your home page setting to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of "Show my home page".

  • When clicking on an email link, I want the firefox user profile menu to open instead of going to the last used profile. How do I make this work?

    When I click on a link in Thunderbird to open a web page, and Firefox is not already open, I want to have the user profile screen presented so that I can select which profile to use for the Firefox session. Instead, it opens the last used profile. Is there a way to do this?

    That is is always a problem when you are using multiple profiles and Firefox isn't running.
    It might work if no profile is selected (i.e. marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini).<br />
    You can use desktop shortcut that open with a specific profile (-P "profile").<br />
    There is also a setting in the Profile Manager (Don't ask at startup).

    When I launch iTunes on the PC, iTunes will not connect to Airplay speakers. Only after a new start of iTunes a connection is established.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but the 'clean' install of iTunes (which I did twice) didn't do the trick.
    Anybody else have a clue?
    I spoke with Apple Care, who was also stumped. They think it might be a hardware issue (but were probably just giving up on working with me because it was free service/I haven't paid the $50). Still seems awfully coincidental that my Airport (1st Gen - about 4 years old) would stop being able to stream music through iTunes simultaneously with the iTunes update...

    Does anyone know why when I send an emoticom the recipient doesn't receive it?

    BDAqua
    Thanx.
    I'm not sure if the recipient is using plain text or not and I don't think they could tell me if they were.  I only know they're using an older PC . . .  I'm sending in Rich text. 
    I've been sending them by goin' to Edit>Special Characters>selecting the emoticon from the list and inserting where I've clicked in the message which works when I send a message to myself.  
    I thought the other end might be getting them as attachments, but I don't know for sure. I've been goin' through my manual to find some sort of reference to that issue, but came up with nuthin'.  I imagine I could try to send a plain text email to see what happens.

    why when I want to buy the app from the app store vysvechivaetsya it-your purchase can not be zovershena?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
