Can't close direction windows in google map while I can in IE

I don't see the little arrows in upper right corner of the directions window in google maps, therefore, I am unable to view a map in full screen mode. I used to be able to do this. I tried the map in IE and the arrows to hide the direction windows is there

Hi..
Might be corrupted preferences.
Open the Finder. From the menu bar (top of your screen) click Go > Go to Folder
Type this:    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go
Move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

  • I can't close one window in Safari.

    I can't close one window in Safari. I'm on an iMac 27", OSX 10.9.4 and using Safari Version 7.0.5. I have several windows open - one with the header in grey (as they appear when not selected) and am able to individually close the other windows. The problem window has several tabs. I cannot close that window. If I try to select it, the top bar remains grey. I've quit and restarted, run disc utilities, run permissions and no problems show. At a loss how to handle this. I do not have this problem with Firefox.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Can't close some windows for some programs.

    I've just noticed this recently. In a lot of programs I'm using, the red X to close the window is grayed out and I can't close it. I have to close it by pressing command + Q or going to "Quit". I know it's something with my system because I know people that have the same programs on their Mac and the red X works fine. Very irritating!

    Click on the Apple in the upper left screen and choose force quit then choose quit quicktime

  • Can't close Safari windows

    I can close tabs, but when I get to the final tab, I cannot close the window. Neither can I close any window with multiple tabs open, either by pressing the red close button or with CMD-W. I can minimize the window, however. I've tried resetting Safari and deleting prefs, all to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Saul

    HI Saul and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    First, try restarting your Mac. If that doesn't help...
    Your profile indicates you are running 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4
    Tiger 10.4.11 minimum requirements for Safari is Safari 4 with the 2009-002 Security Update installed. Click Safari/About Safari to make sure which version of Safari you are runnig.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

  • Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

    Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

    You can't, it was built-in to iOS and is not in the store. Google are supposed to be working on app version of maps, and in the meantime you could try accessing it via Safari : http://maps.google.com

  • I can't access to Youtube and Google Maps with Safari

    Hello,
    I've a MacBook Pro and I can't go to Youtube and Google Maps with Safari. I've also tried with Firefox but the problem is still not solved.
    Actually, Safari (or Firefox) keeps charging the page but is unable to get it. I always see a blank page. It only happens with these two websites. Other sites are working perfectly.
    I've tried so many things like installing the flash, erasing cookies or cache, installing updates but nothing helped. This is really annoying. Just to give you an example, if I try to localize my MacBook I just can't see where it is as the map is not appearing.
    Can you help me?
    Thank you!
    Mac OS X 10.7.4

    Hi CMCSK!
    Thanks for your answer.
    I bought my Mac in August 2011. In the first weeks, I couldn't see YouTube videos which was normal as the flash wasn't installed. I therefore installed the latest version of Abode's flash and it worked well. But maybe 1 month or more later, I don't know what happened: it began difficult or even impossible to load YouTube website. I first thought this was a problem with Safari. I downloaded Firefox but the problem remained the same: impossible to go to YouTube. I followed the instructions to uninstall the flash and to install it again. Nothing helped. I waited for an update for Safari but it didn't solve my problem.
    As I've already said, the browser (Safari or Firefox) keeps loading the page and after 1 or 2 minutes I see "Safari can't open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding".
    To come back to this:
    if I try to localize my MacBook I just can't see where it is as the map is not appearing.
    Well I wanted to give you an example of the problem itself (with Google Maps here). If I go to iCloud and try to localize my Mac, I can see the green circle but the map is not loaded. I don't know why it isn't working. Whenever there is a Google Map on a website (e.g. a restaurant giving its localization with a small Google Map) I can't see it. I only see a light grey background with question marks everywhere. I also see this grey background when I go to the website of Google.
    I hope you see more what the problem is.
    Thank you

    Hi, I have a mid 2007 24inch iMac currently running on 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade directly to 10.7 and if so, can I expect any issues?  Thanks

    You need to have a copy of Snow Leopard installed to access Lion in the Mac App Store. There's no direct path to upgrade from Leopard to Lion.
    I did read a piece earlier this week about Apple giving free copies of Snow Leopard to new iCloud subscribers, you might want to look into this here:

    Flash player only works in administrator account. In other accounts safari can't play flash videos (youtube or others) while firefox can. OSX 10.5.8 safari 5.0.5 / latest flash player. I have tried almost everything. Reinstall safari and flash player, repair permissions.... Any help?

  • [dwm] can not close irssi window when opened in a xterm class

    Hello guys,
    I know the subject title is not really meaningful but the problem is a bit odd.
    When I start irssi in a opened xterm window I can easily close it via modkey-shift-c. To open it directly in a specific tag I created a new class for irssi and defined in config.h how to deal with that class.
    the script called "irc"
    #!/bin/bash
    xterm -class irc -e irssi &
    and the relevant part of config.h
    static const Rule rules[] = {
    /* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
    { "irc", NULL, NULL, 1 << 1, False, -1 },
    When I then try to close the window with modkey-shift-c I just get the message "Irssi: Reloaded configuration".
    I don't really know why this happens. I defnied also a seperate class for alsamixer and closing this is working without any problem.
    What could I try to solve that?
    Best regards.

    What key do you have assigned as modkey in dwm?
    It seems that modkey+shift+c is issuing the /RELOAD command in irssi rather than closing the window.  The modkey is superceded by whatever appilcation is running in the terminal. 
    I run irssi in xterm and modkey+shift+c closes it without issue.

  • Can't Close/Minimize Windows

    Frequently (but not always) I can't close or minimize windows. If I drag the window slightly (in any direction), suddenly the close/minimize buttons become responsive. The problem happens in all Apps. Any thoughts on what this could be? (Running Mavericks 10.9.3 on a MacBook Air 13'')

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • How can I close one window without closing all open windows?

    If I open more than one window, I can't close just one. When I try to close just one, I'm warned that I'm about to close more than one (all of them) but I'm not told how to close just one.

    Are you sure you aren't getting tabs confused for windows? If you close a window containing multiple tabs, Firefox should give you a warning that you are about to close several tabs. To close a tab do one of the following:
    * click the x at the right end of the tab (when you only have a few tabs open)
    * open the tab you want to close, then click the x that appears
    * right click the tab and select 'Close Tab'
    * open the tab you want to close and press Ctrl+W
    You can close a window using Ctrl+Shift+W.
