folder on the external drive does not open in a new window

on iMac OS 10.10.5, when I open a folder (by double-clicking) on an external drive, the folder does not open in a new window, but in a window that replaces the window that was opened.  I looked for a system setting that controls this (in system PREF), but I couldn't find anything useful.

If you control - click the folder there is an option to open in a new tab. I don't know of anyway to set up in system preferences.

  • target for a .pdf with the target _blank link file does not open in a new window.

    I have a simple html document with links to all the value _blank .pdf documents but only opens in a new window.  Others open as _self.  Change the target does not seem to make a difference.

    No idea why this is happening?

    It is preferable to share a link to the offending page, so that we can see the code, simple errors as a lack of "or = can cause what you describe.

    However since you work with PDF files there may not be anything technically wrong with your code.

    Files PDF is a multimedia file that is managed in a number of different ways depending on the settings of the user's browser and plugin installations. What gives the target = "_blank" on a PDF link can open a new blank page and the PDF opens in Acrobat instead. There is no way to force a PDF file to load in the browser, this is a user setting we as developers have zero access to.

  • When I create a shortcut to folder on the desktop it does not open, claiming there is no associated program.

    I have 4 PC running XP Pro with all the latest updates. This problem occurs on two of them, possibly due to recent updates.    I checked the file types and noticed that there are types of folder and file.  I checked the properties of the shortcut and he said it was a type of folder.  I added explore to the folder attributes explore.exe and then he opened the shortcut; However, then all other files would not meet the folder options settings.  I searched the Web for similar problems and found a suggestion to run regsvr32 /i shell32. all reset correctly, but then file shortcuts don't would not open again.  BTW, all folders shows the type of file, making it even more confusing.

  • Update of the XI drive does not open

    I have recently updated Player X to XI player. The new program initiates the display of the empty document and closes immediately. No new documents will display and it will not display the documents previously read by drive X.  I tried to come back on the X drive and had the same problem.  How can I fix?  I need my player for all kinds of bank statements and other documents.

    Hi elremmiz,

    This is the appropriate action...

    Go to 11 C/programs/reader / player...

    Find the file named eula.exe (or just eula).

    Double click on it.

    Accept the license agreement.

    Drive opens there.

  • New itunes install. All the songs are on an external hard drive. A lot of songs do not show up in itunes, but they are in the folder on the external drive.

    This seems to be a common problem:

    Recently I had to reinstall Win 10 & then itunes. All the songs are on an external HD iTunes does not show a large number of songs that are in the folder on the external drive. I copied the .itl to the new itunes folder. I also tried holding down - from itunes shift - select a library. Any ideas how to be able to see the songs in the itunes on the hard drive folder in the itunes library?

    Thanks in advance

    Steve

    See make a library of portable split. Have you copied the correct .itl file, or should you connect an external hard disk .itl file? If you can find the correct .itl, it should have all your songs and playlists. See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library when the library has been altered for the first time with the new system.

  • CD drive does not open on the hard drive of the computer.

    Original title: on my hard drive DimensionE521 the CD-Rom drive does not open.  He starts to and then stops. The computer says it's OK? Help?

    I had this problem and another time after playing with him for days, all of a sudden it just opened.  There is nothing in the drive - I'm sure of.  Everyone has to experience this problem.

    Hello Nannytosix,

    If you look very close to the door of the CD player, you will probably see a small hole somewhere around him.

    What you need to do is unfold a paper clip and push it in the hole and it should open the CD drive manually.

    I encourage you to consult the manual to check this.

  • Satellite L500-126-CD/DVD drive does not open very well unrolled

    Hello

    I just got my second Satellite L500-126.
    I traded my first for a new because the ESCAPE key got stuck sometimes and made a grinding sound.

    Now, with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very well unrolled and 2 bars of silver metal bit come out with the car when I open it.
    Is this normal?

    Also, when I close the dvd player, I hear a little noise "ping!"
    Like a spring, or something. Is that also normal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by 2 small bars of silver, but the reader of my laptop s contains two metals (runners, railway).
    This is normal and these pieces are important to ensure that the drive can eject properly and could remain in a good position.
    Still, you will hear a short click Open and close the drive.

    So I guess it's ok.

  • My Cd drive does not open

    Original title: BD - rom drive

    My Cd drive does not open. I even sent it back to the factory to get the engine replaced and it used to always open. And if it opens, it read any disk. What should I do? Can I open the player through my laptop instead of hitting the button on the outside?

    Hello Jayde,

    You can look for a tiny hole on the draw draw in which insert a paper clip to manually eject the CD player draw. Follow these steps and check if that helps.

    Step 1: Open Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive icon and choose the option to eject it. If it is ejected from your CD-ROM drive tray, button on the hard drive is faulty and it is recommended to replace the disk.

    Step 2: Also boot in the BIOS and check if you can eject the CD by pressing eject CD player if the problem persists then drive is defective.

    Warning of the BIOS:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Step 3: I suggest to start in safe mode and check if you are facing a similar question:
