After closing application spaces transition to random app in random space

Hi,
I have spaces enabled with 8 spaces windows. After I close an application or a window spaces jumps to some random space to focus some other app. This is pretty jolting and I don't want it to do this. Is there anyway to stop that? I would be happy if I can just get it to focus finder whenever I close an app. As long as the spaces to jump all over the place.
Thanks,

It still does this. Nobody else notices this?

Threads, clean up after closing application

Thanks in advance
OS: SUSE 8.2
IDE: netBeans 3.5
Beginner in Java
Hi I am creating Java Swing application and using threads to control certain areas of the program i.e. heartbeat thread being sent from a client to server . The problems is that when I close the client, I find that the heartbeat thread is still alive and clogging up my PC. I thought when you closed the application that the jvm would clean up and remove all associated threads of that particular client application. If any one could shed some light on this subject it would be appreciated.

When a Java Virtual Machine starts up, there is usually a single non-daemon thread (which typically calls the method named main of some designated class). The Java Virtual Machine continues to execute threads until either of the following occurs:
-The exit method of class Runtime has been called and the security manager has permitted the exit operation to take place.
- All threads that are not daemon threads have died, either by returning from the call to the run method or by throwing an exception that propagates beyond the run method.

App switcher not responding after closing an application

I'm running OS X 10.9.4 on my late 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and I am experiencing an odd issue where the App Switcher is not responding right after closing an application. It seems that some applications cause this issue more than others. For example: when I closed Numbers and then attempted to go to another application using the App Switcher, the App Switcher did not respond to my respond to my requests for at least 10 seconds. It's as if there is a library that is getting locked by the closing application that prevents the App Switcher from being launched.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, is there a resolution to it?
Thanks for the assistance.

You will need to build the application through the project explorer, set the the .rtexe to 'Run as startup', and then deploy it.

If that is still not working, you may want to consider:
1. Checking to make sure that you can establish a connection between your project and the myRIO. Right-click on your myRIO target in the project and select 'Connect'
2. Verifying that you can run your code interactively (i.e. run your RT code directly from the host computer)
3. Writing a very simple myRIO application that toggles a user LED. This will allow you to visually see whether or not the application is running.

Hi clintfromid,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:

Mail.app will not reopen after closing app

I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.8 and Mail.app 3.6 (936). I have all current updates installed. My problem is that I will be using mail.app (configured as an IMAP account) all day and close the application without any issues, but if I reopen the application without fist restarting the computer Mail hangs and will not relaunch. This issue happens without fail. There are only two resolves that will allow me to relaunch mail.app: restart the computer or relaunch the Finder.
What can I do to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Thom

Anyone one have any thoughts on this? The inability to relaunch Mail.app after closing (without relaunching the Finder or restarting the computer) happens every time without fail. All other applications work without incident.
Thanks,

The PSE 10 process doesn't stop after closing the application. Why??

On Windows 7, the PSE 10 process doesn't stop when closing the application, therefore the PSE 10 app. will not restart once it is closed. The user must stop the process from task manager or reboot before PSE 10 can be restarted on a Windows 7 machine. The forum suggestion to double-click the exe (instead of the shortcut) as a solution, obviously isn't a solution and can't work. There are no updates to PSE 10 and the only access to any support is through this forum. There have been complaints about this on blogs all over the Internet. Why can't Adobe come up with a fix/update or if they have where is it posted?

First of all, there is no difference between the files on the disk and those downloaded as the trial. The only difference is that one comes with a serial number and the other does not. You can put your serial number into the trial version and it will then be activated. The only way the disk would behave differently is if there is some physical flaw (scratches, warping, etc). Usually such damage will cause the installation to fail, it's pretty difficult for such damage to modify the files in such a way that they still install but behave differently.
If you are dropping a file on the shortcut and the Photoshop Elements Editor is opening but the file is not, there could be a few different things going on there. Check your shortcut properties first: does it go to PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe or Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe? If the former, then there are probably some missing support files. If the latter, this is the Welcome Screen, which has likely been configured to launch the Editor automatically. However, you would be sending the file to the Welcome Screen, which doesn't do anything with the file. It is not capable of passing the file off to the Editor, only capable of launching it.
Also, double-clicking a shortcut is generally the exact same thing as double-clicking the file the shortcut points to, but you can add modifiers to shortcuts to make them behave differently.

Certain applications re-open at login even after closing them

Hi there esteemed support-forum users! Hopefully someone might be able to help me out with this before I resort to the Genius Bar.
I'm running Lion on my new MBP (13" 2.7GHz i7 4GB, not that I think it matters) and have been impressed with the GUI improvements overall, and most of the features it offers. However, there are a couple of small niggles which are gradually escalating into annoyances.
The first of which, is that on login I'm greeted with VLC, iTunes, and Safari all auto-running. I assumed this was due to Lion's 'reopen windows' feature, since none of them are in the 'login items' list on sysprefs. However, on restarting with the check-box for reopening windows turned off, they still appear. This regardless of whether I manually quit the applications first.
Also, after these applications open there's a 30 second or so pause, before a Finder window opens up directed at a random folder inside the package contents of the Steam application. Similarly to the applications, this window appears even if I manually close it, turn off 'reopen windows', and restart.
Any help greatly appreciated. Bit disappointed that there are problems this obvious with Lion (can't really use the "it's a brand new OS" excuse anymore).
Cheers!

Hi there,
Thanks for the help. It didn't fix it: but I have since worked out what the problem was.
As well as the login issues, Finder was consistently forgetting that I had changed my desktop background to something other than the Lion-galaxy. I had thought this was a different issue: but then I noticed that between logins it had also forgotten my Finder-side-bar rearrangement and some Firewall changes.
I guessed such changes would be stored in the user library, and I had been having some problems with permissions previously. So I un-hid the User->Library folder and ran 'ACL Repair' on it. Sure enough everything now works smoothly. I hope!

Apps Tabs get don't reload after closing the firefox

I just today tried to use apps tab. I set some links as apps tab and then closed the firefox. When i stared it again the apps tab were not there anymore. However according to this release the apps tab should be retained even after closing the firefox

Go to about:config (enter it in the address bar), and find '''browser.showQuitWarning''' and set it to '''true'''. This will make Firefox ask you each time if you want to save your session to restore the next time you open it, like in 3

Application crash on showing alert message after closing document in CS5

My application crashes when I show alert message after standard close using IDocFileHandler's close method i.e
Close( doc, uiFlags, allowCancel, cmdMode );
Before calling this method there is no crash on showing alert messages.
i.e just one line before Close() method is called I am able to show alert message. And just one line after close method call , after showing alert message when I click on OK button of alert message my application crashes.
I tried to use errorcode but returned value was fine i.e no error.(Checked GlobalErrorCode and GlobalErrorString before and after close).
I also tried CanClose method to check but it worked fine.
I also used IDocumentCommand methods but application crashed without showing alert message.

I used PMSetGlobalErrorCode(kCancel) after closing document and it worked.

How to Direct control to application's window after closing the popup?

Hi,
I am using 10.1.3. In my application I am unable to direct control to application's window after closing the popup, if I open any other window at the same time.
For more info see the below step:-
-> Open any popup in my application.
-> Open any new window (lets say Google.com).
-> Now restore popup on Google window.
-> Now close popup
          - control goes to Google window but not the parent application window.
How to direct control to the parent window?
Can anybody help me regarding this?
Thanx...Abhijit

Hi Abhijit,
You can do this using Javascript alone. Below are the two sample files I created.
main.html_
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing popup</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function openPopup() {
    window.open("popup.html");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a hr_ef="javascript:openPopup()">Open popup</a>
<input id="something" name="something" type="text" value="something">
</body>
</html>
Note: hr_ef should be href. The code tags are messing with the link.
popup.html_
<html>
<head>
<title>This is the popup window</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function goToMain() {
    window.opener.something.focus();
</script>
</head>
<body onunload="goToMain()">
This is the popup window. Close this window to return to main window.
</body>
</html>The idea is to call a javascript function in the popup window that tries to focus on an object (eg. InputText) in the main html.
Although, one point to take note is the naming of html objects by by these ADF UI Components. If you named your form id as "*form1*" and input text id as "*something*", your input text id will end up as "*form1:something*".
Therefore, you will have to tweak the code above to the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function goToMain() {
window.opener.form1['form1:something'].focus();
</script>Regards,
Chan Kelwin

Even though my apps are all closed, my battery is still draining 10% within the space of a minute, so what's up?

Does it do that also in Airplane mode?
If yes, back to the Apple store (make an appointment first).

Spaces opening random app from dock

I'm using spaces (9). Different space for different app (iTunes, Mail, etc). When I want to move some file/folder from one space to another one, I grab the file activate spaces (in my right top corner of my screen) move on correct space and press spacebar (it activate the space immediately). At that moment random app from dock is started.
What is wrong? How can I avoid this? It is very annoying.

(oh darn - I am sorry - somehow I got this into the wrong thread... Please ignore)
You might try launchd which takes over many tasks of cron as well as other stuff, and to use it you might try Lingon, http://sourceforge.net/projects/lingon/files/, although it is now out of development. I used Lingon last year and found it quite useful, whether or no it is happy under SL I do not know. But there are lots of examples on the web about how to set up an agent for launchd and it might provide an alternative.
An iCal event is probably the easiest though, and you can hook in an automator script to make things really exciting.

Battey usage after closing app

Hi,
Why is an app still using energy after closing the app?
Under battery usage you can still see the percentage the app is using. I have the latest firmware 4.4.4
Build 23.0.1.A.0.167
Thx

Window Memory usage even after closing windows

I've included links to a test app that does nothing but
launch a window, play a sound, close window / repeat.
When application launches it uses about 20mb of memory. When
you click on the only button, it will launch a secondary window
that will simply play a wav file. (I set the volume low but you may
want to mute it :D)
After launching and closing the window several times the
memory usage goes up considerably and *never* falls back a
significant %. (I got it to about 100MB before I decided to quit
trying to increase the memory usage. Right now it's been running
w/o any user interaction since opening about 10 windows and it's
fairly stable at around 61MB (although that appears to be
increasing w/o user interaction).
Does anyone know of any methods I can use to ensure that the
memory consumed by secondary windows does not just persist forever
even after closing the window? Is there something I'm doing wrong
here?
Example Code:
http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.air
(AIR)
http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.zip
(source ZIP)
Note: When I *minimize* the window it looks like garbage
collection is forced and app drops back to 11MB (on restore back to
19mb).
Edit: note in your task manager, application appears as
JBTest.exe

You can call System.gc() to force the garbage collector to
run.
Try removing the event listeners when they aren't needed
anymore. I think it is more difficult for the gc to cleanup objects
when there are host objects (like Sound) refering to JavaScript
objects and JavaScript objects refering to host objects, so you
need to be especially careful about those. It SHOULD clean them up
eventually, but it may take longer for it to figure out that those
objects are no longer in use.
You might also clear the secondaryWindow reference in the
parent document when the window closes. That reference might retard
garbage collection, too.
