ICloud open window freezes when quitting textedit/preview

When I quit preview/textedit when the iCloud open window is open, the apps do quit, but the iCloud window wouldn't go away for a long time; simultaneously my keyboard stops responding. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

That's not just Preview, ie also Safari is doing the same.
From here:
Now apps you close will reopen right where you left off, so you never have to start from scratch again. And when you install software updates, you no longer need to save your work, close your apps, and spend valuable time setting everything up again. With Resume, you can restart your Mac and return to what you were doing — with all your apps in the places where you left them.
It's not a bug, it's a feature
You can change it in for the whole system:
System Preferences > General > "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps"

  • 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

    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).

  • System Prefs window freezing when clicking on Login Items

    Can anyone help me with this? In System Prefs>Accounts, I click on the button next to "Password" called "Login Items." It turns gray like I clicked on it, but everything in the window freezes and nothing happens. None of the buttons work except "Login Options." I bring up Force Quit, but the application does not show as "not responding," in other words, it appears to be working fine, but even the red, close window button stops working. The only way to get out of it is to hit command-Q to quit System prefs and then reopen it.

    This is annoying, but when you are authenticating with a network ID it adopts settings which restrict access to the login items. If you look in your Accounts control panel, you will see under the name something like Admin, Managed, Mobile/Network (depending on if you made the account mobile). That "managed" word is the problem. If you hold down option when you login you have the option of disabling the management. This will give you full control, but only for that login instance. You can check the save this choice box, but it seems to be useless.
    On another note, has anyone figured out how to get around this without having an admin account on the AD domain?

  • All open windows close when another one is opened

    Running OSX10.6.7
    Recently the window behavior has changed, now when a different active app is selected, all the windows from other active apps become hidden
    if one holds the Option key when selecting a new app or a hidden window in an open one, the new window opens and the old ones remain on screen but not active
    this behavior is new, perhaps coincident with the latest snow leopard update
    I suppose that I may have triggered this change by some accidental combination of key strokes 
    I prefer that the act of opening a new window not affect the other open windows
    is this behavior controlled by a preference pane somewhere, or some combination of key strokes or by one of those programs such as Macpilot or Tinkertool, although I do not recollect deliberately changing anything

    It's a hidden Dock preference. You can change it in TinkerTool, or launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- don't type -- the following text into the window, and press Return:
    defaults write com.apple.dock single-app NO
    You may have to relaunch the Dock or log out for it to take effect, I'm not sure.

  • Spaces: Word  windows freeze when shifted to another space.

    Having used Desktop Manager on Tiger for a couple of years, I was expecting a lot from Spaces.
    I frequently want to shift windows from one space to another. Instead of ApplealtO (in DTM), I now have to open all spaces using F13 and drag and drop the windows, which would be acceptable, if it worked flawlessly. Problem is that if I drag multiple Word documents to a different space, some of the windows freeze, while others don't. I never had this problem with Desktop Manager.
    Has anyone discovered a fix for this?

    I have not uses Desktop Manager but I have had discussions with other users on this forum about two different ways of viewing how a virtual desktop should work.
    The situation is that some people look at virtual desktops as being Workspace-oriented and some view them as Application-oriented, which is how Apple’s Spaces works. I would guess that Desktop Manager was Workspace-oriented and it will take some rethinking to adapt to how Spaces works.
    Applications get assigned to specific Spaces and moving windows out of that specific Space to create a workspace is different from how Spaces was designed, and can result in unwanted behavior.
    One way to get more workspace-oriented desktops is to assign the most frequently used applications to all Spaces. I have it set that way for the Finder and Stickies.
    Here is a discussion about the different orientations for virtual desktops:
    http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/whyapple_spaces_isbroken
    The best solution would be for Apple, in a future revision, to allow the user to select between the Workspace- or Application-oriented desktops by providing a button in the Spaces pane to choose between them. This might entail a lot of reprogramming, however.

  • Why is my open window not centring the file previews?

    Whenever I try to open a file in Illustrator CS6 I have to scale the open window across both of my monitors just to be able to see the file preview in the columns mode. If i with the viewing mode to the iTunes artworks style mode I can just barely see the file preview if I make the window the entire size of my main monitor.  How can I fix this?

  • TS3212 after downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my windows freezes when attempting to gain access to itunes store.  How do i Fix?

    After downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my computer freezes when i attempt access into itunes store.  How can I fix this problem?

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

  • Window freezes when Product category selected via match-code (search help)

    Hello Experts,
    I am using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
    I maintained a product category hierarchy in the SRM environment.
    I maintained the GL Accounts related, the tax determination, the source system etc.
    I did all this customizing in a Development environment where everything was working fine.
    Now I just transported all this to a Quality environment.
    And in the Quality I am facing the following issue :
    If I select a product category via the match-code (search help), after the category is selected, the window freezes.
    I have to shut it down manually using the Windows Close button.
    However, when I type the category number, everything works fine.
    Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, and how to fix it ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sofiane

    Hello,
    We have the exact same issue in SRM 7.0 Extented Classic Scenario. This was working fine before we installed the latest support package 11. Which support package do you have?
    The same problem occurs with every drop down menu (search help) in EBP. For example when creating a new shopping cart, if I try to add approver, the same thing happens. After clicking 'Approval Process: Display / Edit Agents' > 'Add Approver', the window freezes. Same thing happens with IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Could you also try the same?
    Could it be a new bug in SP11?
    Thanks and best regards,

  • Windows freezes when ipod is connected but charges fine-HELP!

    I've had my 80GB ipod video since October.Its never frozen before or anything like that.2 Days ago,I connected it to the computer and a few seconds later,the computer froze.Ever since,everytime I connect it,Windows freezes.I don't think there is a problem with the USB cable because it carges fine on my plug and also after the computer freezes,it keeps charging but no "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen.Thing is,it says "Do Not Disconnect" before th computer starts and then it stops and charges as soon as the Windows XP logo comes up and then the computer doesn't even start,freezes at the Windows XP screen.Help would be much appreciated.
    Thank You
    Ian

    Usually theres no need for this, cuz when you uninstall iTUnes it does not erase the iTUnes Library, nor any music on the PC.
    That said its always a GREAT idea to back up your music regularly. Apple covers this on there site by using iTUnes to burn backups on CD, but it doesn't include backup of the all important iTunes Library file that contains all the playlist rating playcount Ect ect here it is tho http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93033
    Long as you have all your music in one folder like "My Music" you can just copy it to an external Harddrive. that will backup all the music AND all the iTUnes librarys and crap since its in the "My Music" folder by default

  • Finder window closes when trying to preview AVI file.. cant open file.

    just bought a Nikon D90 that shoots HD video. After uploading the video's I shot to my iMac I am unable to open them. Going through the finder window.. once I click on the file and it starts to work for the preview the window will just close with no explanation. If I try to open the file from the desktop it causes quicktime to crash. Even right clicking on the file and clicking 'get info' causes the info window to open and immediately close.
    I've restarted the computer... tried to upload the videos again but to no avail. The file size is 117.8MB.. but I dont think that should affect it.
    The videos uploaded fine to youtube.

    I think it's a good idea to check with Nikon; while you're talking to them, ask what format their cameras' videos are - from what I've read, AVI is not the actual format it's recorded in, but I'm not an expert on that - see the link to the Wikipedia article:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioVideoInterleave
    Also try to shoot another video in a lower resolution - don't process or do anything to it with the camera, just take out the SDHC card and see if that'll work. I suggested the MPEGStreamclip because if you can drag it into that app, you could immediately convert it to a .mov or .dv file and that should work with either Quicktime, iMovie, or whatever.
    At this point, you also might want to consider trashing any preference file of any application you've tried using with that video just in case any of them have become corrupted.

  • Flash CS6 opens then freezes when opening old or new file.

    I have the Adobe production premium and all other software works except flash. This is driving me crazy because It was working fine about 3 months ago, then all of a sudden it stopped working. It loads up just fine and it gives me the options screen. But when I open a new file or an old one it freezes with no error message. Windows just gives a "This program is not responding and needs to close." I have tried everything to get it to work, from uninstalling/reinstalling to the fontinfo.txt trick from the FAQ. I also updated it as well.
    I am using a Windows 7 64 bit HP PC.
    If anybody can help please let me know, and if you have any other questions please ask. Thanks
    Chris

    Wow, I knew I should've held out on making a post. I ended up getting it working.
    Turns out I didn't do the SING component / datastore correctly. Instead of going into the SING folder on the startup disk I was going into the SING folder under the user (me). I didn't catch that at first but going back and re-reading everything I caught it.
    I feel good

  • Network Configuration Window Freezes When USB NDIS Internet Connection Sharing and Ethernet Port Are Used Simultaneously

    Current Setup:
    Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet.  Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics).  RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.  
    I will refer to this setup as my tower.
    The Ethernet port works fine by itself.  When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.  
    The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously.  The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.  
    I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
    or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network).  I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem.  I am able to
    do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
    while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet. 
    Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card?  If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
    Any help would be very appreciated. 

    I had the same problem and came here by searching.
    Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
    Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
    Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
    Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
    Click Browse my computer for driver software
    Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
    Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
    For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
    Now you will have two options:
    - Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
    - Remote NDIS Compatible Device
    I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
    Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
    Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
    I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver.

  • Why will Firefox not open Windows Live when Internet Explorer will?

    As above

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

  • ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

    I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
    Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
    On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
    Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
    Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
    Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
    Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
    Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
    Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
    Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
    File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
    First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
    The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
    Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
    Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
    ... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

  • Finder window freezing when attempting to find...

    I have a fresh install of 10.5.8 client on a PPC-based G5 tower. Having an odd issue where, if I open a new Finder window and do a find (command-f), the window gets "stuck" (doesn't change to the "find"-based window, gets stuck at whatever it was when I hit command-f). The rest of the desktop and computer responds as normal, it's just that single window that gets stuck — it's almost like it the desktop/GUI won't update the drawing of just that window. I can open new Finder windows and do everything else — but the only way to get rid of the stuck window is to kill Finder and let is restart.
    I've tried re-applying te 10.5.8 combo updater, created a new admin user, etc. — all the standard troubleshooting stuff. Going to continue working this out, but wondering if anyone else has every experienced this?
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    Hi Kristin, not seen this single Finder window problem before.
    You've already covered most things with what you've done.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    Reboot, test again.
