Close open windows

I have alot of open windows on my Mac 10.8.  I went to each window to quick, but no luck.  I also loggged off and back on.  No Luck What can I do?
Thanks

I was facing exactly the same problem after the 10.4.11 / Safari 3.0.4 Update. It is most likely caused by an input manager you have forgotten about. In my case it was the ancient Taboo 0.3. Go to
Library > InputManagers
and check for a SIMBL folder.
Removal of said folder & restarting Safari solved the issue. Brute force of course, you can also look into
Library > Application Support > SIMBL > Plugins
and delete the "Taboo.bundle".

  • Quicktime Will Not Close Open Windows

    After I record a video Quicktime refuses to close any windows from those recordings.  When the red X is clicked quicktime will lag out for a few seconds at the end of which the window has not been closed.  The only way to get the window to close is to quit Quicktime with the "Close windows when quitting an application" preference enabled in the System Preferences > General.  If this preference is not enabled, Quicktime will refuse to quit and the program must be Force Quit.
    I've gone and done the usual troubleshooting steps like rebooting, deleting preferences, etc...  This does not solve this issue leading me to believe it's either a poorly thought out "feature" or a bug.  Unless there is some new paradigm of closing windows that I am not familiar with of closing window, thanks to Apple;s new paradigm of changing tried and true methodologies for new "simpler", "let us do that for you" ones, this is extremely annoying for someone who want to itterate through multiple video takes quickly without unnecessarily tieing up system resources.  If I make a video that I don't want I want to just trash it and be done with it.
    Anyway, does anyone know if there is any way to fix this so that I don't have dozens of videos active?

    Lets do a few things.
    1. Update QuickTime. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    2. Open up QuickTime player.
    3. Click on Edit> QuickTime Preferences>Advanced.
    4. In the center of this section there is a "Video" section select Safe Mode.
    5. Click on Ok and go ahead and close out of QuickTime.
    I have also noted that there are SEVERAL bugs with QuickTime and Nvidia Chips.
    A few things I suggest you do is to update all of your drivers, and install any pending Windows Updates.
    Please post if this worked for you.

  • Why does firefox tell me to close open window before it can open

    when I try to open firefox get message "browser needs to be closed before opening"

    On a Mac, Firefox 4 is a 64 bit application.<br />
    Not all plugins support 64 bit and if not then you need to start Firefox in 32 bit mode to use that plugin.
    # Close Firefox
    # Open the Applications folder in Finder
    # Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
    # Select "Get Info"
    # Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
    # Close the "Firefox Info" window
    # Restart Firefox

  • Can't close open windows,  Please Help

    I'll have a Safari window open, with multiple tabs, I can close the individual tabs, but to close the only window left, I cannot close it. Any popup windows also will not close. They will shrink to dock, but I cannot close them. Any Help?

  • Cannot close opened windows

    How do I get out of programs  if i am not given the closing option?
    I do not have a red dot closing option on my opened windows

    Are you able to click on the Application name and select quit?...
    And if that doesn't work, are you able to force quite?...
    And if that does't work, maybe relaunching the Finder will help...

    I thought it was doing that also. But I found that if I start a new chat with someone I was messaging before, then the old messages re-appear in the messages window.

  • How do I open with one click all the windows that I have been minimized? When I right click on the lower bar Firefox icon, I only see the option to close all windows.

    It is used to be that I could right click on the Firefox icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and I would then be given the option to open all windows. Now I only see the option to close all windows. The ability to open all windows is very useful. Have you eliminated this capability? It was a very helpful feature because I often have more than 15 windows minimized at one time. On a regular basis I like to open them all and keep only the ones that I still need. I know that it is possible to see the name of each window that is minimized by moving my cursor over the Firefox icon, but this does not provide enough information. So I have to open each window one at a time to look at it and then decide to close it or keep it - this is a frustrating, time-consuming process. Is there another way to open all the minimized windows at the same time, instead of one at a time?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:

    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    * Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    * Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

  • Firefox closes existing window when you open and close a new window

    When I'm using firefox and need to open a new window (or a website opens a new window) and I'm done with that new window and close it, Firefox attempts to also close the previous window that I am using. I've tried reinstalling, but other than that I don't know what to do. What usually happens when I close the window is that I have multiple tabs open in the other one and it asks me if I would like to close all my tabs. When I hit cancel, it asks me again. Once I hit cancel the second time it stops bothering me.

    I thought it was doing that also. But I found that if I start a new chat with someone I was messaging before, then the old messages re-appear in the messages window.

  • Every time I close a window that has opened up (not a tab) all the open windows close and it's driving me nuts!

    If I have opened up a link and it comes up as a separate window and not a tab, then I go to close that window, all the other Firefox windows that are open will close too. Is there anything to prevent this? It is extremely annoying when I have to go and open all the windows/tabs again!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == since upgrading

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • W/zoteroinstalledwedo a window,open() followed by a window.close() in tha window. Zotero remains and the window is still open. How do I close the window with zotero present in FF w/o disabling zotero?

    the js function to window.open() is in pageAA on a tab.
    We click the form or link to open the popup to run a video.
    We have a close button on the popup window.
    When that is clicked the window.close() js is executed on that page leaving Zotero present and the popup still open.
    We've tried using close() window.close() name.window.close() and
    all fail the same way.
    Short of disabling Zotero is there a way to close the popup in FF and any other addons with one shot?

    Thank's but still no fix.
    In safe mode everything works.
    Without Zotero - everything works.
    When the popup is loaded with Zotero, the tab shows a constant "Loading" with the circular in process icon.
    The Zotero icon shows to the left of the tab.
    If I right click on Zotero and close it, the close() js works properly
    Is there a way to do a window.open() with:
    A. no tabs -or-
    B. block all add on's -or-
    C. to kill an add on
    before doing the close()?

  • I always have many tabs open in FF, and rely on it restoring them each time I close/open it again. Sometimes I'll have a second window open and will close the main window first, losing a record of tabs I had open. Is there a way around this?

    Seems like when FF restores a session, it restores the session of the last window open. If you use tabs as a way of keeping a list of things to do or look at, you have to be careful if you have a second window open to close the second window before your main one, or you will lose your list. I'm absent minded though and do this all the time. The only way to prevent this is bookmark all my tabs once a day, but I tend to forget to do even that. Any workaround for this?

    When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
    The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"?  I have a hand condition at the moment that makes it painful to mouse the cursor over to the arrow and click it (for instance, in the sidebars for Finder or iTunes) to open or close a folder.  If anyone knows a keyboard shortcut for this, I'd really appreciate it--thanks!

  • HTML-DB OAE Javascript to close current window and open a new window

    Hi everybody,
    We work with 1.6.
    What we want is to close the current window and open a new window with the URL mentionned in the window.open('http://www.cf.qc/pls/portal/PORTAL.....,'newwindow').
    The new window opening fires only once although we call it many times.
    Our javascript is:
    function closeTest()
    { alert('closeTest');
    if('&REQUEST.'=='QUITTER2'){     
    w = window.self;
    w.opener = w;
    w.close();
    window.open('http://www.cf.qc/pls/portal/PORTAL.home','newwindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
    We call it on our application attributes :
    OnLoad="closeTest()"
    Thanks. Bye.

    Try this on for size:
    I have included two functions.
    windowRebuild() - opens a new window, maximizes it based on the screen size, removes all toolbars, and then closes the old window.
    myLocation(appName, pageName) - builds a url referencing an HTMLDB application, specfic to what server you are currently on. Very useful when you have an application on 3 different servers(dev, test, prod servers), you wouldn't want the server name hardcoded if you plan to export the app to another server.
    Also, you need to be careful when using &APP_ID. I am not completely certain how that is resolved at runtime, but I've found it only works when the javascript is in the HTML Header of a page and not stored in the template of the page.
    <script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
      This functions is for internal application use.
      Examples of myLocation:
      url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'APP_PUBLIC_PAGE');
      url = myLocation('MY_APP_ALIAS', 'MY_PAGE_ALIAS');
      url = myLocation('184', '10');
    function myLocation(myApp, myPage){
      var myHost = location.host;
      var newURL;
      newURL = 'http://'+myHost+'/pls/htmldb/f?p='+myApp.toString()+':'+myPage.toString();
      return newURL;
    /*  Function windowRebuild()
    *   This function will open a new window and close the old window.
    *   This function will also maximize the new window and remove all toolbars.
    function windowRebuild(){
       if(window.name != 'myAppWin'){
        var url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'PAGE_ALIAS');
        var myWin = window.open(url,'myAppWin','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,status=1,resizable=1,location=0');
        window.opener = 'x';
        window.close();
       if(window.name == 'myAppWin'){
        window.moveTo(0,0);
        window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
    </script>Let me know if that works or you need some more explanation.

  • Where did Close Tab and Close Window under the File tab go? I end up with all these open windows or exiting altogether.

    Under the File tab, I no longer see Close Tab or Close Window. Thus, I end up with a lot of open windows, because if I click File Exit, I'm logged out.

    You need to create a file userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and paste the above posted code in the file.<br />
    You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to make it easier to edit the file.
    You can access the profile folder via this button:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    That code will cause all hidden menu entries to get visible all the time, so you can use the mouse to open the menus and do not need to use the keyboard.
