Copy progress window stuck open-can this be quit in Activity Monitor.

Sometimes a copy progress window does not complete its process and will not close. Does this process show up in the Activity Monitor so the user can force quit it?

Well, personally I prefer the Mac OS X behavior to that of WinXP, though I can see both sides of the argument. With Windows, every single window occupies space on the task bar, even if several of them are from the same application. With Mac OS X, I have one icon in the dock. Much less clutter. (Yes, I know I can "group" task bar items, but that has its own set of annoyances.)
With tongue slightly in cheek, maybe that's why they call it Windows, because it's window-centric, while Mac OS X is application-centric with respect to the dock.

  • Quicktime won't open for me and I can't locate it in activity monitor. Haven't used it for a year or so.

    Quicktime won't open for me. It was fine about a year ago. Not coming up in activity monitor. What do I do to fix this?
    Would appreciate any help as I am not particularly computer savvy.
    thanks

    Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
    Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

  • Can someone give me an Activity Monitor checkup?

    I'd love to send a screenshot of all the info in Activity Monitor to someone who really knows what their doing, so they can give it a look over and let me know if there are any weird processes or memory hogs and how I can remove them permanently if necessary or advisable. Any ideas?

  • Firefox freezes ('hangs') virtually EVERY time I open a second browser window. How can this be fixed?

    I recently (about a month ago) downloaded the newest version of Firefox and ever since, the browser freezes virtually EVERY time I open a new Mozilla browser window. I did not ever have this problem in the past.

    Are you using the Default Theme? ''If not, switch to the Default Theme.''
    If it isn't a problem with a 3rd party Theme, try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • All of a sudden I can not play or hear video nor will windows explorer open. This has started recently.

    When I go to the you tube website it opens but when I try to play a video all I get is a black box and no way to start the video. Also suddenly IE will not open on my computer.

    Yes it is because you recently upgraded.

  • Occasionally clicking on a link begins an endless loop where new tabs keep opening - can this be prevented?

    see link in email - click - new tabs open, quickly and endlessly. click on red box and firefox recovers and continues opening new tabs - all blank and empty; shut again and then there are about 20 open empty tabs when I open again

    None of this will, in all likelihood, address your actual issue, but:
    Close your resources in the reverse order you opened them. That means ResultSet, Statement and finally Connection
    Speaking of finally, make sure you close your resources within a finally block. That is what they are there for. You need the resources freed regardless of whether the request was successful or not
    Move the System.out.println() out of the loop. You are not connecting every time. You are fetching records every time. It is misleading.
    Do not use SELECT *. Always explicitly label what columns you are selecting. Otherwise, another developer has to go to the actual table, describe it, and see what is coming out.
    Please use the code formatting tags (see button above when posting). It is far too difficult to read otherwise.- Saish

  • Firefox 4.0 The menus flash like a keyboard key is held down. Can't access them even with all plugins turned off. Same issue on multiple machines with different versions of Windows. How can this be resolved?

    FF 4.0. The menus flash like a key is being held down making them inaccessible. The problem persists with all plugin's turned off. Firefox box in top left corner not showing. The old FF logo show there instead.

    Turning off hardware acceleration worked in all cases.
    With hardware acceleration enabled the menu flashing did not occur on the primary display, only the secondary display of a two-monitor system.

  • How can I disable QuickLook? Activity Monitor shows it consuming everything.

    If I force it to quit it just respawns, and it's eating all of my memory. I just want it gone, as it's killing my maxed-out 2008 Macbook's performance.

    Usually applications like these have their own uninstallers, either build into the installer ( ! ) itself or as a separate uninstaller app. Check the site of the software provider for instructions.

  • "Build 6002: This copy of Windows is not genuine"

    Hi everyone..
    I have had my TOSHIBA Satellite L40-139 for over a year. It was bought from PC World and came with a pre-installed version of Windows Vista Home Premium. I do not have any of the disks that came with the laptop but the Windows installed is genuine.
    I went to install Vista Service Pack 2 having downloaded it. I restarted my laptop only to find my desktop wallpaper had gone and been replaced with a black background and the following in the bottom-right corner of the desktop:
    Windows Vista (TM)
    Build 6002
    This copy of Windows is not genuine
    This was followed by a pop-up window with two options, 'Activate Now' or 'Activate Later', followed by an error pop-up that says Windows must be re-installed as an "Unauthorised change has been made...please insert CD or DVD". If I press 'Activate Now' it just goes to another pop-up that says I can contact TOSHIBA. If I click the link it just goes to a standard 'Help' screen!
    I don't know what to do..I have the COA product key sticker intact and have tried entering it but it just comes back with various errors. It's as if as soon as I installed service pack 2 I've had problems. Again I do not have Vista or a toshiba recovery disk (I don't even know if it came with one). I have tried restoring Windows but it just returns with the same screens!
    HELP!!
    PS. Is the Toshiba support line a free number? Does anyone know a number that is free to call from mobiles? (I do not have a landline).

    > As per my first post I do not have a Recovery DVD as mine didn't come with one..I take it I must be doing something wrong and there is another way to sort this? Even the Toshiba product spec states that no recovery DVD comes with it.
    As per my first posting I wrote clearly that new notebooks dont come with recovery discs but with HDD recovery only and you must create recovery disc alone. Everything is described in Users manuals document. If you dont read it and dont pick up info about your notebook I cannot help you about it.
    If you cannot start HDD recovery installation as described in Toshiba document then something must be screwed up. Why? I dont know.
    You can try method posted by Paolo but if this will not help you must install OS again or activate preinstalled version. If you dont have possibility to install original recovery image you can order new disc under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or try to clarify situation with nearest Toshiba service. Call them, explain the situation and maybe you will get one for free.
    Sorry but I dont know what else to say.

  • [URL button] unable to "Open In This Window"

    Hi,
    I use an "URL button" and set the property to Open In This Window.
    In the Preview mode, it just launches a new window.
    After exporting to HTML, it's even worse. There is no reaction at all after pushing the button. It's not leading to a new homepage nor open a new window.
    How can this be solved? BTW, I'm using Xcelsius 2008
    Thank you!
    Sunny

    Hello Sunny,
    Once you deploy the html and swf files to a web server and view, does it work as you expect?
    The restrictions you see should only be with preview and when you open the html as a file in a web browser.
    Sincerely,

  • Can not find my Program in Lion Activity Monitor until reboot again

    Hi,
       I have tried to installed the datacard driver and user interface program in Lion and reboot; however, the resident program to detect the device of datacard does not exist in Activity Monitor.  I need to reboot again, then I can find it exits in Activity Monitor of Lion.  This issue does not happen in Mac Snow/Snow Leopard(32-bit/64-bit).  I use the Metapackage or terminal command line to install and both need to reboot one more time.  My script is
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/loginwindow AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary -array-add '{"Path" = "/opt/data/Monitor.app";"Hide" = "0";}'
        Is it a side effect of finder known issue in Lion ?  Or I need to use another way like "Launch Daemon" or "Launch Agent" to do?
    Many thanks for your comment.
