Application will not close

SQL Developer will not shut down. I am running it on OS X with java 1.5.0_06.
When I tell the app to quit it just ignore the command. The app will still continue to run fine but I have to actually kill the process to quit.

Well the issues seem to be that the quick key and the menu bar will not work.
If if choose File->Exit from the menu bar withing the application SD will close. If I choose Quit from the OS X menu bar it fails. On the same note if I try and use Command(Apple Key) and q it will not quit.

Application will not close. I need help

I have an application on my Mac that will not close. No windows of the app are visible, and when I try to open a new window, nothing happens. If I secondary click then click quit, nothing happens. I want to update my software to 10.7.1, but I can't because the application will not close, therefore the computer will not restart. How can I delete or uninstall this application while it is open?

Have you gone to the apple menu and tried force quit?

Mail Application will not close

I am having a problem with my mail application. It will not close after I open it. I have to force quit. Anyone have any idea? I appreciate any help.

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Does that change anything?

Mail application will not close OR force quit

I own a macbook pro running mountain lion. The problem is that my mail application says its open but i can't find a way to close it or force quit it. Is there any way to stop this bcause it won't let my computer shut down because mail is open. Thanks.

3rd party Safari items would include SafariStand, SAFT, PicLens, Inquisitor, etc. They are installed in your HD>Library or User Account Library>InputManagers folder.
I suspect you may have created some directory problems (on top of the existing problems) when you shut down your computer with applications still active. A second time won't matter. After the shutdown, restart holding down the Shift key until the log-in screen appears (above the Log-in screen you'll see "Safe Mode". After the log-in completes, go to the Finder: In your HD>Library, look in the Startupitems folder for any odd items. If anything is there, let me know what is installed.
If nothing odd there, then restart the computer, except this time hold down the P/R/Command/Option keys until you hear 3 chimes. Then release the keys to continue to the log-in etc.

HT6114 I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8. When it tells me to close all applications, Safari will not close and I cannot proceed. What to do?

I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8. It tells me to close all open applications. However, Safari will not close and the installation cannot proceed. Any suggestions?

Either try to force quit Safari (press Command + Option + Escape keys and then choose force quit in the pop up window), or, you can also shut down the computer. Then boot up and open the app store application to download Mavericks - you don't need Safari for it.

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

Facetime window will not close. (iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.3)

Recently and quite frequently, after a FaceTime call has ended the window will not close out to the normal FaceTime call history screen. Even when I double tap the home button to close out apps, the FaceTime window, still showing my live face and "call with whomever as ended or ending" (it switches between ended and ending when clicking back on the window) will not swipe closed; it just moves up and right back down. I can't even swipe it closed during a live FaceTime as I could before. The only way I've been able to close out the FaceTime app is to power down the phone then turn it back on.
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?

Hello nelly_eastside,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your FaceTime application is not fully closing after a call. In this situation, I would recommend forcing the application to close and then resetting your iPhone. To complete these steps, please follow the instructions in the attached articles. Please let me know if the issue continues.
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,

Every time I download a PDF I get a message that says There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close. What does this mean?

I work on a Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.5.8.
We recently had to upgrade Java.
Now every time I download a PDF I get the message "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close."
I downloads the PDF OK, but then Safari closes and I have to start it back up to get to my email.
What is the message telling me? It did not do this before we upgraded Java.

I'm having the same issue. Again, unfortunately. And of course you will find through various searches that it is a reoccurring issue, one that Adobe seems to have failed to acknowledge.
You can delete your preference files. Same thing. RAISE blah blah crash.
You can even go and do a restore from an uncorrupted backup from over 4 months ago, and yet it still doesn't solve the problem, thus there is a compatibility issue.
The program is battling with another program (of which there really is no telling) and therefore crashing the moment you open it. The software itself is clean and uncorrupted, yet somewhere deep within OSX there is a problem that won't allow the software to open.
The only temporary solution i've found to solve the problem is a clean adobe install. Just delete and uninstall all and any traces of Adobe Acrobat, then reinstall to find a working adobe product. For a small while, at least.
I've never tried creating a new account, but from what others say it works. Not worth my time though.
If anyone was wondering I have zero third party plugins. Its straight from Adobe CS4. Pro version.
Someone above mentioned using the drop down menu in acrobat to reset the software. I can't even do that! The "RAISE" window pops up before that actual software! Its ridiculous!
Its really quite peeving to know that this issue has been around for years and Adobe seems to just ignore it. I know I don't want to pay for a company that fails to meet their customers needs. This is your problem Adobe, not ours to deal with. Fix It.

"Creating Adobe PDF" task will not close H E L P

"Creating Adobe PDF" task will not close after I print a .pdf document. I am running Windows XP Professional with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional v 8.1.2. It doesn't matter what application I print from, this window stays open in the background. I have to minimize the window in the windows task bar, then restore the window, then click hide on the window to get it to close.
Please help me, I have searched for a solution, but nothing seems to be out there. I can't be the only one having this problem.

Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue? I had the problem for a long time and then it went away, I believe after I reinstalled Adobe because the updater had stopped working. Recently the issue began again, primarily with printing to PDF from Explorer. It seemed to start after a recent Microsoft update, so I am wondering if that was the culprit, though even if it is I have no idea how to correct it. When I can catch the "hide" button on the dialogue when it first launches the "creating adobe pdf" task, it sometimes closes itself. I have also noticed that it seems to re-appear on every OTHER print to PDF. I am running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, Version 8.2.5 on Windows XP Professional and Internet Explorer 7. Anyone? Help?
