How To Get Rid of the Open from iCloud Window in Mavericks Hello Everyone,
The original article was written at: http://lucatnt.com/2013/11/get-rid-of-the-open-from-icloud-window-in-maveric ks/ Get rid of the "Open from iCloud" window in Mavericks Posted on November 13, 2013 by LucaTNT However, I have modified it for those of us who use VoiceOver. Mark Since the introduction of iCloud in many OS X apps in Mountain Lion, we've had to live with the pointless "Open from iCloud" window every time we launched these apps. I'm speaking mainly of TextEdit and Preview, but recently even more apps got this useful feature, such as Automator and AppleScript Editor. We all hate this. But last month Apple released Mavericks, which came to save us from this hell. It offers a great solution: the ability to enable/disable iCloud on a per-app basis, thus allowing us to only have it on apps that benefit from it (Pages and ByWord, for example). Without further ado, let's go and kill iCloud for TextEdit & company. NOTE FROM MARK: This is for sighted users It's pretty easy: just go to System Preferences, iCloud and click the "Options." button next to "Documents & Data. A nice popover will appear and it will let you choose the apps in which iCloud documents will be available. De-select any apps you wish, and then click "Done". NOTE FROM MARK: This is for VoiceOver users 1. >From the System Preferences Window, select iCloud. 2. Locate the Services group and interact with it. 3. Locate the iCloud Services Table and interact with it. 4. Place focus on the Documents and Data item in the table and interact with it. (Leave the item checked.) 5. Use VoiceOver navigation to locate the Options button and activate it. 6. Locate and interact with the Applications Table. Uncheck any application that you do not want to auto-launch the iCloud documents dialog box at startup. 7. Activate the Done button to save your changes. Freedom. Enjoy the sense of freedom that comes from your apps being iCloud-free again, like in the good old days. Now, the next time you open TextEdit, you will be greeted with a glorious empty document, ready to be filled with your awesome words. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
