Can't close docs in preview; command + W not working

I created two "New from clipboard" images in Preview. I have no red button in the window to close them, but that might be my theme - I do have a gray button with an X. However, it doesn't work. Command + W also does not close them. I have cleared out my recent menu. I have quit and restarted preview, and quit and rebooted the computer.
Every time I open Preview these images open. I cannot save them directly as documents; I tried duplicating one in order to save it, hoping somehow that would make closing an option, but all it did was create a third image for Preview to irritatingly reopen. Images I've opened from existing documents do not behave this way and can be closed. Preview seems slowed down by this, since other commands don't work (Open, Save) and getting menus to appear is very slow.
This is my work computer and these images are getting in the way. Can someone help me out? Many thanks in advance!

Needless to say, you have landed in a very bizarre place.
Others might have better suggestions, but if this were happening to me, I think I would try to clear out the "Saved state" info for Preview. Here are some instructions:
Delete Specific Application Saved States from Mac OS X 10.7 Lion ...
Long shot - but harmless.

I have a MacBookPro 2011. The Empty Trash command does not work. I mean I can not empty my trash

I have a MacBookPro 2011. The Empty Trash command does not work. I mean I can not empty my trash. what should I do? since now there are more than 5000 items accumulated in my trash.

Thanks everybody for your comments.
I just found a way out from the disscussion : I can't use empty trash or secure empty trash.
The same formula proposed by Zyriab solved my question.

My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad one.

My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .

Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

External command is not working in File Receiver Adapter

Hi,
   I have tried to copy the file which is mentioned in my File Adapter (Receiver) to 3 different folders thru OS command. The purpose is to save time. I have created one CC for Source(File) and one CC for target(File). After the target file is created, I want to copy this file in 3 folders. For this I have written one batch file in my system.
File Name: copy1.bat
@ECHO OFF
COPY %1 C:\TEST1\arch_t1
COPY %1 C:\TEST2\arch_t2
COPY %1 C:\TEST3\arch_t3
DEL %1
The command which I entered in the Receiver CC (File Adatper is)
Run Operating System Command After Message Processing
Command Line: C:\FILES\copy1.bat %F %f
Timeout(secs): 60
Terminate Program After Timeout - Check box is selected.
But, this external command is not working. (because the target files are not created in those directories C:\TEST1, C:\TEST2, C:\TEST3)
   I did this scenario by refering the Michael'w weblog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/02/08/xipi-command-line-sample-functions
   In this blog, he has also given how to troubleshoot external command. I tried this also. It is not working.
    I use Windows XP OS. XI 3.0 SP 18.
   Friends, Could you kindly tell why this external command is not working? What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Jeg P.

Hi, Jeg.
As the note says, please check the java Runtime.exec behavior
with the proper user.
If in doubt, check if the command can be successfully run through
the Java Runtime.exec(...) API. Also note that the command is run
as user "<sid>adm" (Unix) / "SAPService<SID>" (Windows).
So, Could you check the following(very dirty one!) Java in your
XI server and check if it works? For simulating %F, create a test
file C:\FILES\test.txt whatever the content is.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ExecJava {
public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
      Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process proc = rt.exec("C:/FILES/copy1.bat C:
FILES
test.txt");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
Good Luck.

Shift+command+b not working for bold

I just updated to cs6 and my "bold" key command is not working. (shift+command+b on mac) I am using a font that has BOLD. I can select bold from the character palette and it works fine but the key command will not work. I checked my key command list and is there by default. It should work. It worked fine on cs5 for me. I even tried holding the fn key but no dice. Any ideas? I have to bold many many items so I can not possibly use the character palette....thanks.

"Nope" the first word of my response, was to your question. It means No. Meaning "No I did not copy a custom set". I am using default set.
I wonder if some other app has taken that kb shortcut. Nothing happens when I press it though....and I wouldnt know how to find out.
edit - problem solved. Even though the font says that it has a bold face I guess that it does not. Bold still works fine for other fonts. Sorry for your time.

Some commands are not working nor in illustrator nor photoshop, any advice better than Adobe?

Illustrator is not fuctioning at 100%, some commands do not work ( eg - command open, nor place etc ) and same with photoshop....
Any advice

pcmyhre,
You may try the list, possibly starting with item 7) in 5), which is a list of the usual suspects, which may disturb and confuse Illy so she fails to do even simple things.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Ctrl-T command do not work in website with flash

Ctrl-T command do not work in website with flash

If the Flash object has focus then key presses are processed by that plugin.
In such cases you need to click outside that plugin (e.g. the menu bar if you can't click on the website) to make the keyboard work.

Command Sets not working on ACS 5.1

I'm running ACS 5-1-0-44-3.
I have everything running properly on ACS 5.1. I'd like to implement command sets for selected users and groups. Under Access Policies -> Device Admin-> Authorization I have Command Sets selected. The cisco provided is DenyAllCommands. I have this command set running on all groups and every groups is still able to issue any command they wish. I've also created a "show_only" command set that I've issued one group and they are still able to do conf t or any other command.
Am I missing something?
Do you need to reference the command set name under the shell profiles?
Its my understanding that all you have to do is reference it in "Authorization" in the rules under Device Admin.
I can understand a custom command set not working because of user error but DenyAllCommands should work.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have already re-patched the ACS
Stopped and started services.
And it seems like Command Sets is the only not referenced in the logs

I do it a lot
could you paste screnshot of your command set?
I've recently met another issue,
with my command set definition as below (as you can see its very simple):
almost every show is blocked (as suspected) but not "show run" (which is strange for me)

Command E not working

I see this issue listed a couple of times, but the only answered one had to do with web forwarding.
I can't seem to get the command "E" to work either on this page:
http://joncarloftis.com/lectures.html
The only way to get it to work is by using this link:
7435.gridserver.com/includes/ice/ide.html#page=lectures.html
which is going to probably be an issue with my client... too confusing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Commands is not working

Dear All,
During power failure when system up then some command is not working.
iostat -En
format
but cat command is working please give me exact solution.

It sounds like the system did not come up cleanly. Did you see any error messages? Quite often you will need to fsck a filesystem or two after a hard crash like that.
Check your logs or see if you can do a dmesg and look for errors.

bash:command groupadd is not found
It seems other unix commands are working fine except gropudadd and useradd command.
Can anyone tell me why the groupadd command is not working? and what should i do to fix this problem?
Thanks

here you have all steps that you have to carry out to install Oracle on Linux ( In this case this document is based on Oracle9i on RH9 )
http://linux.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/4141
Installing Oracle 9iR2 on Red Hat 9
by Roko Roic
09/04/2003
There are an ever-growing number of reasons to run the Oracle database server on a Linux-based OS. The price factor is obvious, as OS licenses can really boost the total price of your multiple workstation or clustered (RAC) server installation. Then there's the stability factor, the possibility of total remote administration, the availability of platform source code, speed, flexible filesystem, the strong Unix legacy .... Heck, even Oracle itself runs its business on what they like to call Unbreakable Linux.
Red Hat's latest and greatest Linux distribution release comes with quite a few improvements, many of which are targeted at the needs of the workstation user. As new hardware owners become early adopters, this OS will surely dominate Linux developers' workstations in the months to come. Support for cutting-edge hardware and software technologies, easier maintenance via graphical configuration tools, polished office and productivity applications, a unified interface, development tools, and, of course, Red Hat's reputation will also make it the OS of choice for many Oracle developers. Unfortunately, unless the current version was certified, Oracle installation hardly ever ran smoothly on Red Hat Linux. Still, where there's a will, there's always a way. With a little help from this article, you will have your Oracle 9iR2 server running in no time on your new Red Hat 9 box. Let us begin.
Adding Users and Groups
First, you will need to create the Oracle installation and users and groups. Oracle installation needs two Unix user groups and one runtime Oracle user.
Log in as root and issue the following commands in a terminal:
[root@miniroko]# groupadd dba
[root@miniroko]# groupadd oinstall
[root@miniroko]# useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
[root@miniroko]# passwd oracle
The last command will prompt you to enter the password for your oracle user. Make sure you remember it, because you will probably need it as we go along.
