Can't close QT windows?

For some reason, I can't close out any windows I have open in quicktime... i can play them and control them, but I can't close them out, or move them by clicking on the panel at the top of the window. It acts as if that panel is not part of the window, and so when I click it, it just switches to whatever app i have open behind it. I can't figure out how to close the windows I have open....

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

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 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.*

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.

How can I close 'current' window and not all windows?

How can I close the current window (only) and not all or none?
This function works well with MS Explorer.
Not a problem, just a desired function.

Hi JLCluster,
If you just click the small x in the tab you are currently viewing, it will close only that tab. I think you are clicking the x in upper right hand corner of the screen which closes all open tabs as you described.
Hopefully this helps!

Can't close a window in html or JS

How can I close a "child" window opened from a "main" window in html or JS without resorting to asking the user to close the "child" browser window? I think I have tried just about everything. I have tried opening the "child" window by an tag and with JS. I can get the "child" window to open but cannot seem to return to the unchanged "main" page. I know I must be doing something wrong.

<form> should be inside the body element.
<html>
<body onClick="window.close(self)">
<form>
Click here to return to entry form.
</form>
</body>
</html>
There's no immediate need for a <form> element. You can use a pseudo button. Simply give the visitor something to click on.
BTW the browser "back" arrow is dimmed in the child window in IE, Firefox, and Safari.
When a webpage is opened in a new window there's nothing to go back to.

How can I close all windows in Preview?

Hi all
I can't seem to find a way to close all windows in Preview.
Can somebody try this and see if they get the same result I do.
1. Copy an image into the clipboard.
2. Open Preview
3. Hold down command-N for about 20 seconds.
You should end up with dozens of windows with the image that you copied.
Now, try to close them.
I've unchecked 'Restore windows when quitting and re-openng apps' in System Preferences
I've typed in the 'defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows' hack in the terminal window
I've quit Preview with the 'option' button held down and 'Quit and Close All Windows' showing in the menu.
No matter what I do, the windows keep coming back every time I start Preview.
This 'force restore' feature of Lion is starting to get really annoying.

If I hold down the option key and go to Preview->File the Close Window menu item changes to Close all
I answered the OP's question but I see now that the question wasn't what he was really asking.

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!

[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 Finder Window Over Document

I was in a document, using the Help menu, thought I selected a Help topic (may have slipped and hit a different key?), and suddenly a Finder window sheet came out of the document as if I needed to Save As or select something on my hard drive. Problem is, the Cancel button and its partner (whatever it is ... Save?) dropped below my screen, so I can't close the Finder window to get back to my document. Nor can I Quit Pages (without Force Quitting and losing data) or close the document. I am stuck. Is there a way out?

Sorry, I thought from the expressions you used, you were less experienced.
Yes it is really not very Maclike to use the Escape key, we always used (cmd .) but OSX is much closer to the darkside now in an attempt to be more familiar to switchers. I have to consciously use it now as it is needed to get out of the many circumstances now where there is no visible navigation left on the screen.
IMHO to not have some way out of situations like this, harks back to the worst of DOS practices.

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 current window.

I have a submitButton.
When I click it, using a method of javascript to close current window.
the coding like below:
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction(
"closeCurrentWindow",
"javascript:window.opener=null;window.close()");
pageContext.getJavaScriptFunction("closeCurrentWindow");
But I think it's not a idea.
Do you have another recommendations about the solution of this problem?
thx.

Hi,
I don't understand. Would you like to have a button to close the current window?
Or should it do also something else?
If you want only to close the window you can use a "button" (not item_style = "button", not "submitButton").
Then you must set its Destination URI property to javascript:self.close();
This will close the current window.
However note that using javascript is not right, according to OAF standards.
Bye

I can't close a window unless I shut down the computer. I get a javascript error box.

Two windows have jammed. Every time I go to close them, they throw up a long dialogue box saying "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" next to a blue question mark.
Underneath that it says " JavaScript Error!"
"Press ESC to close this alert!"
When I escape, the windows are still there and I can't close them.
I've tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling and they are still there.
Is this just a glitch or am I infected?
I prefer to keep version 3.6.3 because I use Realplayer Browser Record Plugin and later versions don't seem to accept it.
Thanks

You can disable [[JavaScript]] temporarily and close those tabs or windows.
Tools > Options > Content : [ ] Enable JavaScript

IE11 - Can only close IE window by ending the process

Good Morning,
We have just updated our company to IE11. For some users, intermittently they cant close the IE window from either File-Exit or by clicking on the Red X at the top right hand corner. The only way they can close the window is by ending the process.
We have deleted the windows profiles to no avail.
We are running Windows 7-64. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards.
Bryan.
