Can't close window from button

I am trying out Safari 4 Public Beta on my HP 2133 which runs Vista Business with service pack 1.
When I try to close a Safari window by left clicking on the cross in the red box on the top right of the window nothing happens. In fact all 3 buttons (minimize, window size and red cross) act as one to change the window size when I double left click.
I can only close the window by right clicking on the application in the tray and selecting close.
Any ideas please?

I too was having this problem with my home HP Desktop. I love the new beta an use it on my home HP desktop, home HP laptop, and work HP desktop and was having the problem only on the Home desktop. Tonight I discovered that if I change my Windows Theme (right click desktop/personalize/theme) to anything but Windows Vista then the functionality of said buttons work again. It appears that Safari Beta does not like the straight Windows Vista theme or at least that's my diagnosis as of now.

Hi,
I work for Dr Pod, an iPod repair company. This sounds to be that the hard drive is dying in the iPod. As it is an older iPod it is out of its one year warranty, the iPod won't be repaired for free by Apple, and you'd need to consider wether it'd be better to have the iPod repaired by an iPod repair company such as my own, or to purchase a new one from Apple.
If you did choose to purchase a new iPod from Apple, then they do provide 10% off the cost of a new iPod if you exchange in your old one. I'm not sure if this applies to faulty ones though (I have heard of some people being turned away for having a faulty device).
Hope this helps,

How can I uninstall Windows from my mac?

how can i uninstall windows from my mac?

Use the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to return the drive to a single partition setup. If you were running Windows from a disk image, delete that image.

Can't close windows

I am unable to close new windows in Safari. I can close individual tabs, but I can't close the windows. It's been like this since for a few months, now, and it's driving me crazy! (I think it happened right after I installed some update, but I don't know which...)

Hello joel:
There is no "automatic" way to determine what you have added (IMHO, adding 'stuff' to programs is not a very good idea).
I would try the things I mentioned above. If that does not help, delete Safari and reinstall it from your software install DVD.

How to wire into that close window x button

I want when the end user click the program's x red button at the top right, a dialog box with two buttons will pop out and say "are you sure?", if the end user click Ok, the program will shut off and close its window, if the end user click cancel, the program continues to run.
So I start building the vi, refer attached, but I was flipping the help search without knowing what is the name of that red x button, and i cant find the function block!
So, my question is:
1. I want to wire into that x red close window button event to control my case structure, but where is that function block?
2. Where is the function block that shut off the program as well as close the program window?
Thanks.
Solved!

I would add, by way of explanation, that you don't actually "tie into the button", you tie into the event that it represents.
That means that if you add an event for PANEL CLOSE?, that event gets triggered by all the things that would close the window: Clicking the CLOSE box (as mentioned), but also typing CTRL-W, selecting CLOSE from the FILE menu (if that's available), aborting the program from the TASK MANAGER (ctrl-alt-delete), and script operations on OS X.
Usually, that's what you want. The point is you're being asked if it's OK to close and you get a chance to say "no". But it doesn't necessarily come from the CLOSE box.

Can't Close Windows in Safari

Because of some bad RAM, I had to do some system and software re-installs. I am running the latest version of Tiger, and windows in Safari will not close. They will go to the dock with the yellow button, but will not close with either the red button, the close window command in the File window or the command W combination. When I quit the program, the old windows go away, but that is a pain. I wait to quit Safari until I have 6 or 8 Safari windows open in the dock. Do I need to reset Safari? (I really don't want to lose the keychain passwords.) I've checked and re-checked preferences, and I don't find anything there, either.

Hello bassomac:
Try a couple of things.
Clear the Safari cache.
Trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist).
Restart safari and see what happens.

How can I close windows when quitting an application - but leave desktop windows open?

In Mavericks...
Is there any way to close the windows of application (when quitting - ie System Preferences => General) BUT not have this affect the finder application.
I want the windows I have opened in the finder to remain opened, but everything else to close upon quitting

Well, for some time now (since I upgraded to Mavericks) my startup goes on and on.
It will, on occasion, finish correctly and I can go on with my work, but usually, it hangs.
I can restart the finder 2 or 3 times and get it to finish loading.
If I go into System Preferences => General => and turn “Close windows when quitting an application” on, then restart, the finder usually starts up faster and does not hang
Obviously, there is some operation that is running in the background that is trying to restore itself to some unknown state that is holding up the finder application.
I have uninstalled and turned off all sort of applications that run in the background, but have not yet been able to locate the culprit.
So, I’d like to be able to have “Close windows when quitting an application” on because everything else on the machine can revert to a clean start-up state -- but I want the windows I leave opened in the finder to remain opened and where I put them.

Disconnected iPhone from iPhoto during import. Can't close window now

I recently accidently imported some of my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. During that process, I wasn't aware that I was actually importing my photos until I disconected my device. I tried closing the window for iPhoto, but it said: 'Please wait for import to complete.' I tried shutting down, logging off, and even restarting. The same windows keep on popping up. Once I connect my device, the whole window is frozen, and my iPhone won't import my photos anymore. What should I do?

try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Can't close windows and palettes created in a script (CC)

Hi,
I developped a Script for After Effects, and sometimes I need to show a window or a palette, but when this window is showed more than once, it can't be closed again (the close button, the one with the cross on the title bar) does nothing, whether it's a palette or a window.
Here's my sample code :
creating the palette :
var mesurefenetre = new Window ("palette", "test",undefined, {resizeable:true});
var resultattexte = mesurefenetre.add("statictext",undefined,"text added");
showing the palette is done with a button in my main panel :
var bouton = fenetre.add("button",undefined,"mesure");
bouton.onClick = function () { mesurefenetre.show(); };
But with this code, when the window is shown once, then closed, then shown again, it then can't be closed...
So I tried to reimplement onClose on the window :
mesurefenetre.onClose = function () { mesurefenetre.close(); }; //does nothing
mesurefenetre.onClose = function () { mesurefenetre.hide(); }; //does nothing
So my current workaround is to use the button in my main panel to check if the window is visible and hide it...
bouton.onClick = function () { if (mesurefenetre .visible) mesurefenetre .hide(); else mesurefenetre .show(); }; //don't like this behavior, really not user friendly
This example is with a palette, but it does not work with a window too.
This seems to be a bug from After Effects, it worked well with CS4~CS6, (used this in Duik (http://ik.duduf.com) for a long time)
Any idea what I can do ?
Thanks,
Duduf

Up!
Just to let you know, this still isn't fixed in my current version of After Effects (13.2.0.49 on win7, and win8.1) and it can be reeeeeaaaaally annoying to have to always add a close/cancel button on every windows...

Open PDF in browser - but cant control/close window from javascript

Hi
I hope I picked the correct forum
Basically I have a site in asp classic. From a button I opens 2
windows via javascript.
One contains info, one shows a related file ( could be tiff or pdf ).
When user closes info-window, I also close the file window via javascript, so that user only hav to click once.
That works with tiff, but not with pdf, '!file.closed' returns that window are already closed.
Somehow I simply loose contact to that window when I open pdf.
My Adobe is set with "open pdf in browser", version 10.1.2
Any Ideas ?
Overview what I do:
function openTwoWindows(jnr,vikar,hvorfra){
          var left, top,vikar;
          width = (window.screen.availWidth/2)+80;
          width2 = (window.screen.availWidth/2)-80;
          height = (window.screen.availHeight);
          info = window.open('info.asp'','top=0,left=0,height='+height+',width='+width+',resizable=yes,scr ollbars=yes,status=yes');
          var settings= 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,'+
          'status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes, top=0, left='+width+', height='+height+',width='+width2;
          file = window.open('showfile.asp?strJnr='+jnr+'&print=false','file',settings);
          info.focus();
function closeFileWindow(){
            if(file && !file.closed){
                         file.close();
if the file is a pdf -> showfile code in asp classic:
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition","inline;filename=filename.pdf"
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
'Response.Clear
Response.Buffer = true
// fetch file from database
Response.BinaryWrite rsTmp("Fil")
Response.Flush
Response.End

Can't close window without quitting?

I've noticed that if i try to close the iPhoto window (using Apple+W or the red gel button) that the whole program quits.
This isn't in line with how the other apple products work is it? Normally I can close a window, yet the program remains active. The advantage being that I can open a new window very quickly instead of having to wait for the library to be created again.
Is this in line with everyone else's experiences?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Benjamin,
For programs that normally only use one window, like iPhoto, the program will quit when the window is closed.
I either "Hide" iPhoto or click the middle button to swish the window into the dock, when I want to hide the window.

Finder stops responding. Can't close window or click icons in window bar without moving window.

When moving files between disks, the Finder stops responding to the close, minimize and expand window (red, yellow, green buttons). If I grab the title bar and move the window, even one pixel, I can click on the boxes. The same is true of the trash button in the window icons.
It's just annoying.

I have been plagued by the same problem ever since upgrading to Mavericks.
I click the red button on windows (various apps), it goes dark but window won't close until I actually make that window active or move it around somewhere.

Open Page in new window from button

I have a button that need to open up a page in new window when clicked. The page it needs to open is dynamic and stored in an item called 'P0_STUDENT_RECORD_LIST'.
I added this to item pre-element text:
<button onclick="javascript:PopupSTUDENT()">
How can I get the function to open the page name stored in the item?
Is there a different method I should use?
function PopupSTUDENT(){ popUp('f?p=&APP_ID.:DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME:&SESSION.::NO:::');}

how about this:
function PopupStudent()
javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:&DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME.:&SESSION.::NO.:::','Popup','width=800,height=500,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');

Can you tile windows from Javascript in CS3?

I have a javascript that will open 2 images in Photoshop from different directories based on a single filename, so that the users can view them side by side. They need this to be able to compare the colour correction from an automated process against the original image.
The trouble is that even though I can open the images, I cannot invoke the "window/arrange/tile vertically" menu item, as I can with InDesign.
Does anyone know of a neat trick to get around the missing tile vertically command within Javascript for Photoshop CS3.
(I've trawled the web and found that most answers are for 4 or more windows, where the images are pasted into one doc. But here I need to keep the windows separate.)

One way to do this in CS3 is with an action. Make a new action then stop recording. There should be no steps in the action. From the action panel's flyout menu choose insert menu item. Then choose the "window/arrange/tile vertically" menu item. You now have an action that you can call from a scipt to tile the two images.
Another way is to use Xbytor's doMenuItem function
// adatped from Xbytor's xtools stdlib.jx
doMenuItem = function(item, interactive) {
   var ref = new ActionReference();
   ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Mn "), charIDToTypeID("MnIt"), item);
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
   desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID("null"), ref);
   try {
     var mode = (interactive != true ? DialogModes.NO : DialogModes.ALL);
     executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("select"), desc, mode);
   } catch (e) {
     if (!e.message.match("User cancelled")) {
       throw e;
     } else {
       return false;
   return true;
doMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('tileVertically'));
Note newer version of Photoshop have a app method named runMenuItem that can be used instead of a custom function.
