BLACK DOT INSTEAD OF X IN THE RED BUTTON TO CLOSE

I have a strange behaviour of an Excel file. In the red button to clese the window in the left upper corner there is a black point always visible instead of the usual x that appears only if you go there with the mouse.
This file frized last time I tried to close it but now it works OK even if there is this strange point.

Thanks Charlie.
Even if I noted it yesterday I went back (Time Machine) and I could see the same bahaviour 1 mont ago. The file probably is corrupted in come way (hile I open a message says it has Macros but if I try to remove it I do not find any Macro.). The black point is there at the opening and yesterday was impossible to remove it. Now I open it and it appears immediately, I save the file and it goes away. Strange. I am moving to Numbers. It tkes some work to adapt the XLS files to numbers but it works.
In this case I had no problems. I will try to forget Excel.
Thanks again

Is there a way of quitting an app only by pressing on the red button?

Hello.
I'm a new Mac user (my MacBook Air bought on April, 17th).
I was wondering, is there a way of quitting an app by pressing on the red button only, without pressing on the app name on the menu bar and and then on "Quit X"?
If it's possible, I will be glad to here the way.
Idanref.

No. The red x closes the window but not the application. An exception is when an app can only have 1 window open. (Like system preferences). A quick way to close the app is to press CMD Q on the keyboard.

I was trying to use the red button on Football First (Sky Sports 2), from 22:15 you should be able to select the match you want to see by pressing the red button and following on screen instructions but it doesn't work.
The Red button on Sky Sports only works for Sky subscribers using a Sky box.
VM users also complain about not having this function.
The BBC red button DOES work. It also gets broadcast directly on Vision channel 301.

I just did an update to 6.0 on Lion. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button it re-opens to my home page, not all my previous tabs.. prior to the update it would re-open with all my previous tabs, which is what I want.

I just did an update to Lion 10.7.4 with Safari 6.0. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button, it re-opens to just my home page, not to all my previous tabs as it did before the update. I prefer having my old tabs re-open. How can I fix this?

I've had what I think is the same problem since the most recent software update. I have Lion 10.7.4 and have updated to Safari 6.0. The most noticeable difference is that where previously I had two boxes at the top of the Safari window (one to enter URL addresses, one for Google searches), there is now only one box for both functions. I don't like that as well, but I can live with it. However, since the most recent software update my "back button" only works about 5% of the time. Most of the time it is grayed out. So I usually can't get back to previous pages using the back button. Also, when I've clicked a link that opens a new window (for instance, going through the return process at Amazon, I clicked UPS locator and it opened a new window), where in the past I would have just clicked the red button after I had the information, the UPS locator window would have closed, and I would have been back at Amazon - now if I close the UPS locator window, all Safari windows close. The Safari application doesn't close, but the Amazon window closes, I'm back to an empty screen, and I have to open a new Safari window and reenter everything. I'm using a work-around of clicking on History and selecting the description of the window I want to get back too, but that only works part of the time. In the Amazon example, that's what I did once I had the UPS info, but even though I clicked the correct window description, it took me back to the beginning of the return process & I had to reenter all the info. Of course, that info was easy to reenter, but if I'm in the middle of a complicated process, it's a big problem. I've filed a bug report; I surely hope the Apple engineers are able to fix this. I'm used to using the back button function a lot!

SIZE OF THE GUST OF GARAGE BAND: The garage window band has remained me too great and I cannot accede from any way to the corner to modify the size. Due to this I cannot accede to the red button to initiate a recording.

Two things to try:
with some Applications it helps to hold down the the "Option Key" while pressing the green "maximize Window" button.
If that does not help try this Apple Script:
--Open the AppleScript editor (in Applications -> Utilities), paste the following and run it:
tell application "Finder"
          set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
end tell
tell application "GarageBand"
          set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}
          set bounds of window 1 to margins
end tell

I converted an album to a slideshow: I exported it, selecting itunes as an export option. A window comes up that says iphoto at the top, but nothing happens. Also, this window will not close with the red button - I have to "force quit" and reopen iphoto

I can't seem to export a slideshow from iPhoto. I go through the export routine, but an iPhoto page comes up with other slideshows I've sent to iTunes, but nothing happens. I've waited, hoping something was happening, but nothing does. Further, once this page is up, you can't click out of it with the red button - to get it off the screen, I have to "force quit".

With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
*One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
*Never
*When I have only one tab

Can't stop GlassFish 3 with the red button on the console view

Unlike Tomcat and JBoss AS, I cannot stop GlassFish with the big red button.
It's enabled so that's fine.
I press it and I get the error dialog "VM does not support termination."
Huh. I'm sure my OS supports kill -9...
I have to hunt around for the server view and shut it down that way. Very annoying.
First, the button is enabled so I expect it to work.
Second, I like being able to test abnormal termination during development by just killing the VM hard -- production isn't forgiving, neither should development.
Where's the right place to file this kind of bug in OEPE? I could not find a link to the bug system if there is a public one.
Eclipse Reporting (JEE+BIRT) Helios SR1 with OEPE 1.6.0.201007071726
Happens with GlassFish 3.0.1 and 3.1

Hi,
The script that is used in Eclipse to start GlassFish is 'asadmin start-domain' which ends when the server is up and running.... It has a log viewer/content different than the GF log viewer.
Terminating this script does not terminate the server...Not sure why/how the red button in the console view is enabled/disabled. Might be the standard behavior delivered in the generic server support (WTP)?
Only the red button on the server view does the correct stop of the GlassFish server.

I can't use my Presonus Firebox with my new 10.6 OS, the red button is still red

Hi there,
It's my first post with this community, and Im' french, so my english is not so good.
I have upgraded yesterday my old 10.4 OS for 10.6. I am musician, I use Logic Pro 8, and my Presonus Firebox (firewire plug) doesn't work. The red button is still red, not blue.
My computer recognizes the firebox (I have seen this in "about this mac/ + infos/firewire"), and also in Logic, pref/audio, the presonus is seen by the software. But no sound, no signal from my midi keyboard.
It's known that this kind of harware doesn't need drivers... but I don't know what to do. And I have work to do...
Thank you to everyone for giving me answers, or at least, trails.
Thank You
MyBass

I auto reply. In fact, an update of the firmware was needed...

Sometimes my windows can't be closed down when I press the red button.

Sometimes my windows can't be closed down when I press the red button on the left corner, but when i press the button next to it, the minimize button it works. This just happens sometimes, why is that?

two things to try: either click the green "zoom" bottom at the topLeft of the window in the title bar, or go to your System Prefs and then Displays, and increase the resolution that is used

Block removed only pressing the red button some seconds

I'm facing a problem from 2 days. My 8500 curve freezes, and after I need push the red button for some seconds, after I can use it almost normally.
Almost, because it seems the "o" key in the keyboard is pressed also when I don't press it. After some seconds, the things turn normally.
I suspect a software problem,
Thank you

I already have a acrobat pro subscription but instead of giving my the download button it gives me the subscribe now button

I already have a acrobat pro subscription but instead of giving my the download button it gives me the subscribe now button

Hi paulp,
I've checked your account. It looks as though you purchased Acrobat outright (versus getting a subscription). Is that not what you thought you purchased?
That order is currently processing, but once it goes through, you should get a confirmation email from Adobe with instructions for downloading your software. If you're logged on to http://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat, then that page would be prompting you to subscribe (since you don't have a subscription).
Best,

What is the red button... "IHELP" surrounded by blue, green, red and yellow in the lower right hand corner of the browser window all about?

What is the purpose of the red button... "IHELP" in the lower right hand corner of the browser window? Does it have any purpose? If so what? When clicked on there is no response.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

No such button exists by default. It sounds like some extension installed in your Firefox, view/disable them from Tools -> Add-ons, '''Extensions'''

Is this why BT hasn't updated the Red Button for V...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20592808
Could they be holding off to get this working?

That's probably why they have reduced the number of streams to one, but the absence of a red button link on BTV is more likely to be down to the box, given that Freeview TVs still get it (except on HD channels).
The red button stream is available via the BTV box on Freeview channel 301, though the box doesn't support the teletext as TVs do.

I have a new unlocked iphone3gs. I cannot get the video to work. When I try to record video I am not offered any options. It films until I tap the red button, but then everything just freezes. I

I have a new (from Apple) unlocked iPhone3gs. I cannot get the video recorder to work. When I take video I am not offered any options at the start or the end of filming. The screen freezes when I hit the red stop button. But that's it. I have to hit the home button to get out of that. And none of the v-recordings can be found on my phone anywhere.
Also I'm having trouble with Bluetooth. My Mac says it's paired with the phone, but the phone says not; even though It accepts the pairing code from the Mac. I'm getting very frustrated with these problems. I came on here to find the user manuel, but can only find the fingertip manuel and the product license manuel. Both of which I have in hard copy.
And the most annoying thing is the sound on the calls. I can hardly hear the caller.
Anyone got any helpful advice?
Thanks, Elizabeth

Robert or Elizabeth...
Sync media using iTunes, not Bluetooth.
When the screen freezes on the iPhone, try "resetting".
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And this link is for the iPhone 3GS user guide > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS3.1_User_Guide.pdf

Serously doubt this is a "new" iPhone 3GS. More likely refurbished.
