Minimize button--gone!

This has only occured in the Finder which is kind of weird. Can you please help?

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Finder"
quit
end tell
delay 2
tell application "Finder"
run
end tell
Press the Run button, and then see if the minimize button can be used.

  • Yellow "minimize" button disappears. randomly. all apps

    I've had this problem for as long as I can remember.
    Randomly, the yellow minimize button (between the red and green buttons) on the
    top bar of my apps gets grayed out, and no longer works. There's no
    pattern to it - it's pretty random, and often happens to
    several apps. Have not found a way to get it back, aside from
    exiting and restarting the effected app(s).
    When the app starts, all 3 buttons are present and working. At some
    point, yellow fades to gray, and it's gone.
    Sounds like an Aqua bug, but a very long-standing bug.
    Very annoying...
    Thanks,

    I have had this problem forever as well; all with Leopard. I've never installed WindowShade, but I do run Parallels 3.0 from time to time. I've never correlated this goofy and very annoying behavior with Parallels... The problem seems to creep in and out every day, usually affecting iCal, Mail and Firefox more than anything else (all at different times). I have correlated this with Spaces; the buttons typically come and go with more movement between spaces. Interestingly, if a yellow button disappears, I really don't HAVE to quit it to get the button back; just wait and sometime later after unknown operations it will be back. It always comes back if I quit the app and relaunch, but it will disappear again after a while.

  • Disappearing menu bar and minimize button quits working

    I'm working in Entourage or Firefox (with about 3 other small applications open and Classic is running) and the screen suddenly blacks out, as if a screen saver came on for about a quarter second, then the screen comes back. The Menu bar is gone. I can get the menu bar back by clicking on the background and then clicking back on the application, but the minimize button no longer works on the open applications' windows. If I open a new application, the minimize button works on that window. Sometimes I have trouble getting the menu bar back, depending on the application that was open when it "blinked". When this is happening, it occurs at about 20 to 30 minute intervals. Any ideas of what's happening? Has anyone experienced something similar?

    You can check that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (Mac: command+Shift+F).

  • Macbook pro.minimize button is inactive. Finder menu bar and dock won't appear when firefox is open. not occuring with safari. have to click on desktop to get Finder menu bar and dock to reappear. think happens after update of something. How do I fix it?

    When i open firefox it opens up full screen (as it always has) but now the minimize button is grey (not yellow) and inactive so i can only open (green button) or close (red button) my firefox window. I can still make it smaller by dragging the bottom right corner but i can't minimize it to my dock or anything. Also, I have my dock set to auto show/hide when i roll my pointer over it. Now, whenever Firefox is open (no matter what size the window is) the Finder menu bar (with the time, battery power, etc) does not show up (which it always has before) and my dock won't auto appear when i roll my pointer over it.

    Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?

  • PS minimize buttons disappearing.

    Occasionally, the red, orange and green minimize buttons (see photo) disappear from the upper left of my tool bar.  The only way I've managed to restore them is to reset all the default settings, which is time consuming.  Is there an easier way to get these buttons back when they disappear?  Screen mode doesn't seem to do it either.

  • Missing Minimize Button (Greyed out, anyway)

    Lately, I've noticed that many times my mail application's yellow "minimize" button is greyed out. The way I can minimize the application is with the apple=H (Hide) command. Then, later on, when I bring the application back on screen, there is the yellow minimize button.
    I put this post in the mail thread, because that was the only application so affected. But this is not really true, any longer. I do notice it, but far less frequently, on iChat and Skype too.
    Anyone know the causes and cures of this? Not really the biggest deal in the world, but it is an annoyance.
    Kenny

    I also experience this on many different applications, from Safari, to Mail, to Adium. It is indeed very frustrating and is always solved by quitting and re-opening the application.
    I (and many of my friends) have had this occur in all different point releases of Tiger and I'm also seeing it in Leopard 10.5.1

  • MAC-CS4 minimize button on panel

    I cant get minimize button on ScriptUI panel to be active it is always greyed out. the code looks like this
    > var myDialog = new Window('palette','myPanel',undefined,{minimizeButton:true, maximizeButton:true});
    the documentation seems to say it works, on page 106 of CS4 Tools Guide it says
    i minimizeButton When true, the title bar includes a button to minimize
    i or iconify the window, if the platform and window type allow it. When
    i false, it does not. Default is false for type palette, true for type window.
    i Main windows cannot have a minimize button in Mac OS. Not used for
    i dialogs.

    In CS5 panels works in the same way.
    Minimize button stil remains disabled.
    Someone knows how to solve this problem?

  • Hiding minimize button in the frame

    hello,
    how can i hide a minimize button in frame.
    thanks in advance
    daya

    You'll have to set the visibility of the JFrame to false i.e.
    frame.setVisible(false);However, if you do this you may not be able to reopen your application unless you keep probably a JWindow containing a button or something to set the visibility of your app to true. So keep that in mind.
    Happy Coding!

  • Loop stop when pressing the minimize button??

    Hi,
    I've made data-acquisition VI, when i run it and press "for example" the
    minimize button of my VI it stops untill i release the minimize button, is
    there anything to avoid this?? So that when i press the minimize button that
    my vi just go's on with it's loops?
    Best Regards,
    Thijs

    As the other response indicated, we try to keep the loops running, but
    certain things in windows consume the UI thread, meaning that LV can't
    update the UI. You can make a simple VI that charts ten points per
    second and see if when you release the mouse the chart catches up. The
    standard way LV does execution tries to decouple the UI from the
    execution, so that the diagram can continue even while the UI is stopped.
    If this example works and your application doesn't, it is likely that
    y
    our I/O loop is interleaving UI and I/O. If the UI gets blocked for a
    period of time, such as you describe, this is when the UI blocks the
    rest of the loop. If this is the case, and this is important to you,
    you can try to separate the UI from the I/O by moving then to two
    independent loops that communicate via locals, etc.
