another window opens when i click on something on mac

A window is suppose to open if you click on an app. You need to clarify exactly what is going on. Are you saying 2 windows are opening up? If so, check your speed settings in System Preference>Mouse.
Since you did not provide any system info (blank system profile) I cannot offer any further suggestions.
When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which Mac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

Why other "windows" open when I click on one

sence the last update Mac version 10.7.2 , using my mid-2007 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo   I'm having problems with slowness of mail , not being able to send "forward" mails to others that have pictures,graphics . When I first open mail and it starts looking for mail , this can take about 3 to 4 minutes at times before it gets the mail .
    Another problem is when I open something ~ say a web page , I get the last 2 or 3 pages that I have opened befor this page . Also if I'm opening a picture I worked on , say in photoshop elements or Iphoto it will open the last 2 or 3 photos too , this is starting to bother the heck out of doing normal work at times and its getting under my skin . Any help would be a start as I'm getting confussed as to why this is happening .

Thanks

New window opens when I click a link

On some sites, every time I click on one of the links, a new instance of Safari opens. The same site does not do this in IE or Firefox and in latter, you have controls of how links open..new window, new tab, or force open within current window. Anyone know how to keep only one window open in Safari?

If you want new windows to open in a new tab, instead of a new Safari window, just hold ctrl while clicking on the link. Make sure this option is enabled in Edit->Preferences->Tabs, if it doesn't work for you right off the bat. You can also do what I do, and simply right-click on the link, and select Open Link In New Tab.
There are some other neat Tab features too, if you have multiple windows open already, you can go to Window->Merge All Windows, and all open pages are moved to Tabs in a single Safari Window.
Conversely, you can send a Tab to a new, separate window, by going to Window->Move Tab To New Window.

I am using Mail for emails and I seem to have two different windows that switch between the two. The emails are the same but the second window opens when I click on any details and I cannot see the top of my screen with control icons for internet, file

I am not very tech savy and apologize in advance if my question is not clear. I use the Mail application on my mac and I have two users on my computer, one for gmail and another for my work email. All email addresses appear in the mail application on one page. When I open my email and click on a message it often goes to the other user screen and cuts off the top of my screen which shows the bar for Chrome, file, edit, view, history etc....Still functional but very annoying. How do I choose a user screen and stop having it switch back and forth.
Thank you.

Multiple new windows opens when I click on any folder in Administrator (user account) folder.

Whenever, I try to open any folder or sub-folder in my Administrator account, it automatically opens new multiple
windows with same folder.
For example, I tried to open a folder in my "Downloads" it automatically opened 2 new windows with same folder contents.
What should I do to open it in the same window?
Is there any way to repair this annoying problem...
Somebody please help!

Hi,
If the above setting
arnavsharma provided is configured properly, please try following things:
Open up Registry Editor, and go to:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Delete "Explorer". It will be re-created.
Reboot to see what's going on.

Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

I came up with an alternative solution.
Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

Yesterday, since I downloaded the latest version 3.6.6, every time firefox opens and when I click on something, I get multiple error windows that say "ERROR: Security Manager Vetoed Action". I can't hardly use if anymore because of all the window pop-ups. What can I do? Can I go back to an older version?

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

I've developed the problem that when I click on something I get a dialog box with a mess of stuff such as: Back,re;oad page ,Open in dashboard ,print page, etc. It's quite annoying!

I have a problem that when I click on something I get a dialog box with Back,Reload page, Open in Dashboard,View Source Save page as ETC. I don't get the normal or expected respose to a simple "click". Another problem. For some reason the back and forth arrows it the tool bar of Safari have shifted from the upper left hand cornor to the uuuer rihht hand cornor.

Something is seriously wrong then. Did you move it? There are several Library folders. One of them should be inside your HOME folder.
If WZZZ suggestion does not work, re-install your OS by using Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

Firefox home page doesn't open when I click on Firefox. Have to go to File and click on New Window to get into Start Page.

Firefox doesn't open when I click on it. I have to click on New Window under File to get my bookmarks and a search page

== No way to know. Nothing new has been done to Firefox.

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
BTW, you really should upgrade to the latest version. See [[Updating Firefox]]

My Finder window no longer opens when I click on it. What do I need to change?

My finder window in my dock used to open when I clicked on it. Now it does nothing when I click on it and I have to right click and select New Finder Window to be able to see the contents of my computer. What setting do I need to change to get back to click and open?

Tried this (thanks) but the Finder is listed twice in the Force quit box and each time I select Relaunch both windows just reappear and I still can't click on the Finder icon in the dock and get it to open!

The window that opens when I click on the Time Machine icon is Finder (devices) and when I close this Time Machine also closes.

You will need to be much more specific about what you problem is. That is how TM works. That is how you find things to restore from TM, by using a Finder window so that you can browse through the Mac's hierarchy of folders and files.

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
