Closing all applications

Hi,
Please how do i close all Applications and return to the main screen? Thanks.

You can minimize them by clicking the yellow button in the top left corner. You can quit them easily by pressing Command and Q at the same time. Pressing Command-Option-Escape at the same time brings up the "Force Quit Applications" window, where you can forcefully close stubborn Applications. This window also shows you all of the current Applications you have open.
Did we answer your question?

Thanks Kurt! I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close. I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank. In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well. Thanks for your help!

It's very likely that your boot drive is failing. Back up all data immediately and schedule a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Closing all applications with one keystroke

Hi
There must be a trick but it has been 3 weeks I had my Imac and still have not found it
How can I CLOSE ALL running application with one keystroke ? also how can I close the finder ... its always running and I am not sure it should.
Up to know I love the Imac and wander how I survived on a pc for 20 years.
Antoine

The Finder is necessary to allow you to navigate your computer: it always runs and if you force-quit it it will immediately relaunch.
Even if you shut down your computer normally any application with unsaved work will ask for a confirmation. You should not force a shutdown: you can damage your disk Directory by doing this and doing it repeatedly could run you into serious problems. You should only do this in the rare even that the computer locks up completely.
It's possible to write an AppleScript which will quit all applications (though you will still be asked for confimation where applicable) but it gets a bit complicated because there are running processes which you don't want to quit, and as you're new to all this I'm reluctant to recommend this as a way to go. Otherwise there is no global method.

When I try to put the icon in the applications folder, it says it can't install it because this file is in use: libsoftokn3.dylib. Ihave closed all apps and I have no idea what this is.

When I try to put the updated Firefox icon into my applications folder, I see this message:
The operation can’t be completed because the item “libsoftokn3.dylib” is in use.
I have closed all apps and don't understand what this refers to.
Thanks!

Try to reboot the iPhone, if that doesn't help make a backup via iTunes, and restore the iPhone via iTunes.
Otherwise disable background refresh, and kill all apps

How I can closed all open application after update to iOS 7.0.2.0?? Before this v iOS7 we was can closed any application's open :(

There's no good way to do it. But you don't need to. iOS 7 automatically handles whether an application takes up memory or has files open. There's no real advantage to you ever closing an application yourself.
If you are having problems with a particular app, please describe them.

Well Nokia Maps 2.0 Beta works with Nokia Map Loader 1.35.

Hi Harrykaa,
That's also what I have concluded after additional research since the post. Wierd thing though, is that the "beta" Map Loader show v. 1.3 when starting.
But it this enough to crash the phone when I use the gps coordinates in Google Maps, Location Tagger, and ZoneTag?

All applications requiring internet unexpectedly closing (Safari, iTunes, iChat, Skype, etc) How do I fix?

My wife is using a Macbook using OS X version 10.4.11. It is about 5 years old. Recently, all applications that require internet access (Safari, iTunes, iChat, Skype) are quitting and shutting down after only a few seconds of being open. We have tried restarting the Macbook, resetting Safari, emptying caches and cookies, and uninstalling third party add-ons with no luck. Other aplications like microsoft word, preview, and photo booth all work fine. It seems to be just the aplications needing internet. Any advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Since you were able to create a new library indicates that your current library is damaged. So try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
2 - if #1 works you can go into the Accounts preference pane and add your Facebook account back and give it a try. Then close and reopen iPhoto.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
- add your Facebook account to the Accounts preference pane and test it with the new library.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Occasionally, when I try to do a Google search, numerous "opening search" pop-up windows appear. I cannot continue typing in my search until I've closed all of these pop-up windows. How do I stop them from EVER popping up again?!

They are small pop-up windows. When I start entering in keywords to search, ever so often, these things pop-up and not just one. Many of them. Popping one upon another upon another upon another. I cannot enter anything new into the Google search box until I have closed all of these windows. And, commonly, numerous ones of them will pop up again when I enter in the next letter in my search.
This is what it says in the pop-up box:
Along the top it says in the light blue margin "Opening search"
Under the above and in a white box it says:
"You have chosen to open
[a Windows symbol] search
which is a: application/json
from: https//www.google.com
Then on the outline of an inner box, it reads "What should Firefox do with this file?" and it gives the following options:
Open with ["Browse" button]
DownThemAll!
Save File [This one is checked as the default]
Then a check-off box with the text next to it: "Do this automatically for files like this from now on.
Under that is an "OK" button that is gray and cannot be checked and a "Cancel" button that can be. I have never done either but used the "X" in the upper right corner of the box to close out this window.
Now I see I have limited options for "This happened" for frequency. It isn't every time Firefox is opened but it is FAR more frequent than "A few times a week". More like several times a day.

Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

EXCEL.EXE process is keep running even after closing all the handles

I am using Excel Report Instrument functions for creating excel application and sheet,workbook after reading/writing in to excel file am closing all the handles using CA_DiscardObjHandle (handle);     even after file is getting closed m checking it in TaskManager then one EXCEl.EXE process is keep running there,pls let me know how to deal with this....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A Kumar:
Have you tried running the example program excelreportdemo.prj that ships with CVI? It ends the excel process by discarding multiple handles, and it works even if you're editing a cell or have an Excel dialog open, etc. Try running this without modification and verify that the excel process is closed when you quit the CVI app.
Here's the Quit function from excelreportdemo. It checks for and closes handles for the worksheet, chart, workbook, and excel application.
int CVICALLBACK Quit (int panel, int control, int event,
        void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
    switch (event)
        case EVENT_COMMIT:
            if (worksheetHandle)
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(worksheetHandle);
            if (chartHandle)
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(chartHandle);
            if (workbookHandle)
                ExcelRpt_WorkbookClose(workbookHandle, 0);
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(workbookHandle);
            if (applicationHandle)
                ExcelRpt_ApplicationQuit(applicationHandle);
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(applicationHandle);
            QuitUserInterface (0);
            break;
    return 0;

The PSE 10 process doesn't stop after closing the application. Why??

On Windows 7, the PSE 10 process doesn't stop when closing the application, therefore the PSE 10 app. will not restart once it is closed. The user must stop the process from task manager or reboot before PSE 10 can be restarted on a Windows 7 machine. The forum suggestion to double-click the exe (instead of the shortcut) as a solution, obviously isn't a solution and can't work. There are no updates to PSE 10 and the only access to any support is through this forum. There have been complaints about this on blogs all over the Internet. Why can't Adobe come up with a fix/update or if they have where is it posted?

First of all, there is no difference between the files on the disk and those downloaded as the trial. The only difference is that one comes with a serial number and the other does not. You can put your serial number into the trial version and it will then be activated. The only way the disk would behave differently is if there is some physical flaw (scratches, warping, etc). Usually such damage will cause the installation to fail, it's pretty difficult for such damage to modify the files in such a way that they still install but behave differently.
If you are dropping a file on the shortcut and the Photoshop Elements Editor is opening but the file is not, there could be a few different things going on there. Check your shortcut properties first: does it go to PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe or Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe? If the former, then there are probably some missing support files. If the latter, this is the Welcome Screen, which has likely been configured to launch the Editor automatically. However, you would be sending the file to the Welcome Screen, which doesn't do anything with the file. It is not capable of passing the file off to the Editor, only capable of launching it.
Also, double-clicking a shortcut is generally the exact same thing as double-clicking the file the shortcut points to, but you can add modifiers to shortcuts to make them behave differently.
