Can't close the finder application

I had to urn off my computer, could not break the freeze any other way. However when I turn it back on it still is not working.

Have you tried to force quit? Press Command + Option + Escape keys.
So how is it not working when you boot up? Finder will always be open - it is your desktop. If you have a Finder window open when you shut down, it will be open when you boot up. You also need to have the settings set to not open windows when booting up.

How can I close the finder application

I need to know how to close the finder application because there have been many downloads that I cannot do unless all applications are closed. if you cannot then owners of mac please make it possible because (no offense) if not downloads are useless on the mac.

Hi Jason, Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '08 forum.
This forum is for discussion of issues and techniques arising in the use of Apple's word processing/page layout application Pages '08.
You might try asking your question in the Using Mac OS X Leopard forum, where you may get a more complete answer than the one below.
The Finder is different from other applications in that it is always running when you are running OS X. You can't quit it or even Force Quit it. It is exempt from the "Quit all running applications" instruction you'll see with some installation procedures.

My Phone is working terribly slow, and even i can not been able to close the running application

You must have an iPhone 3GS then if its running 4.3.2
The iPhone 3G can only update to 4.2.1 iOS.
Reset the iPhone
Hold the top silver button and the home button (just below the display of the iPhone)
Do this at the same time for about 10 seconds until you see an Apple.
The iPhone then should take 1-3 minutes to restart and it should be fine

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.

You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Suggestions on how to use Safe Mode in article, to resolve issues, may be helpful.
There likely are other means to rectify troublesome applications, including reinstall.
Be sure to backup your music, image, video, and other work on an external drive
or suitable device as a precaution against loss should there be a hard drive failure.

Adobe Photoshop CC "Please Close The Following Application "

I seem too be having a problem installing Adobe Photoshop CC , everything was working great in the beginning , but as soon as I began installing it I had a message display saying "Please Close The Following Application " Which in this case is Adobe Illustrator. I already have it closed , even in task manager , I can't see the Illustrator.exe. Is there a work around this?

Often something will be held in memory and mess things up. For a long time Sonic DVD recorder would leave something going on with my work computer to the point that it would not fully log me off. Can't tell you how many security violations I got before I learned to completely shut down the computer each day.

Where can I get the example application FuzzyEx Car Backward Parking.vi from LabView?

Where can I get the example application FuzzyEx Car Backward Parking.vi from LabView? I've got the LabView 2009 and I don't find it.

First verify if you have the PID and Fuzzy Logic Toolkit installed. To do that, you can just look at the "Control Design and Simulation" palette and you should see PID Palette and Fuzzy Logic Palette available. If you do not see, you need to install this toolkit.
Second, in 2009 you have two options to access the example: you can directly open the example by using this address:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\examples\control\fuzzy\Car Parking\FuzzyEx Car Backward Parking.vi
Or you can use the example finder and browse examples by going to: "Menu Help>>Find Examples" and "Toolkits and Modules>>PID and Fuzzy Logic Control>>Fuzzy Logic". yoiu should see "FuzzyEx Car Backward Parking".
Hope this helps.

Where can i download the oracle applications software for DBA

Hi,
I want to know few things regarding oracle applications.
1) What exactly is oracle applications
2) Where can i download the oracle applications software
3) I am currently working as oracle DBA, so i want to enhance the dba skills to oracle application, so where can i find further help,documentation related to oracle applications and dba related to that.

Oracle Applications is an integrated ERP solution, with Finance, Manufacturing and CRM modules. Please visit appsnet for further information.
Unlike other Oracle products, Oracle doesnot give free software downloads for Oracle Applications. They were once giving trial versions for about 40 USD. Now I am not sure, please check up Oracle website www.oracle.com. Look for link on "e-business suite" under the 'products' directory.
If you can get hold of documentation on 11i, you can check out System Administration and Application Object Library (AOL) modules, these fall in your area. You can find this on oracle website or metalink.
Be aware that general Oracle DBA on 8i or 9i is a different ballgame than managing 11i. Lot of websites are available for these harried people, and for more information, you can visit the websites www.appsdba.com, www.oncalldba.com or do a general google search.
If you can get hold of a book "OCP for Oracle Financials 11.0" by Christopher Allen and Vivian Chow, this has good documentation on above two modules. But this is in 11.0, not 11i.
Hope this helps.

How can I deploy the WAR application in the Tomcat

How can I deploy the WAR application in the Tomcat. Do I have to do any manifest file.
Thanks
S. Nikov

First of all, which version of Tomcat are you using?
Deploying a WAR file in Tomcat is very easy. Just put the WAR file in the %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps directory and start Tomcat. It will automatically find the WAR.
Please read the Tomcat documentation: start Tomcat and point your browser to http://localhost:8080

Updating InDesign "Please close the following applications to continue"

Hi! I’m trying to update InDesign through my Creative Cloud connection, but I get the following error message:
InDesign CC Update
Please close the following applications to continue:
- InDesign (Adobe InDesign CC)
Below this message are the buttons “Cancel” and “Retry”. Even though my copy of InDesign is not running, I still get this message when I click on the Retry button, and it continues to appear each time I select Retry. Clicking on Cancel has the same result: the error message will continue to appear!
Is there anything I can do to remove this message and update InDesign? On my CC Updater window, all my applications are show as being up to date, except for InDesign, which is show as “canceling”.
Thanks in advance,
Colin Hartridge

Can I close the browser window

Hi! friends,
I am in the process of upgrading to forms 6.0
when we load the form in the webbrowser, is there a
way I can close the browser window once I exit the form.
Please advise
Thanks in advance

You can try this solution from Metalink:
Customers want to close the browser's window when they close the forms application.
Solution Description:
USE JAVASCRIPT TO CLOSE THE WEBFORM APPLET
Solution Explanation:
1.)Create an html file (es. close.html):
<html>
<body onload="closeit()">
<script>
function closeit()
window.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>
2.) Put the html file in the webserver root.
3.)Inside the Form in a POST-FORM trigger you have to write a WEB.SHOW_DOCUENT builtin like this one: web.show_document('http://mywebserver.com/close.html','_self');
In this way the web.show_document calls, the JavaScript function "closeit()", when the the applet is closing.
