Error sound on mac when switching tab with cmd+right arrow

On Firefox 3.6.9 and OSX 10.6.4, when I switch to a tab to the right using cmd+right arrow, I get an error sound but Firefox successfully switches to the tab. The error sound is the same sound you get when you press a keyboard shortcut that doesn't exists (ex: cmd+?)
However, if I use cmd+left arrow I don't get the error sound.
How can I eliminate the error sound?

I am just finally posting a reply. Looks as though the sound card went out. I was told that I could purchase a new open and install myself. I did not do that, but rather my step-dad just decided it was time to buy a new Mac Mini.

Firefox unmaximizes itself when switching tabs in task bar

When switching tabs using the windows taskbar during an extended online session spanning multiple tabs and windows, the window will unmaximize itself. Switching tabs using the physical tab works correctly. This only occurs with the "Show tabs preview in the Windows Taskbar" opton enabled. Closing all open firefox windows and restarting firefox is the only fix I have found.

Hi achenbachs630420,
This is expected behavior for the Windows 7 operating system. However when I have Firefox in fill screen mode for a window and hover over the taskbar the preview will show up and the full screen will remain, and I have the same feature selected, weird?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

After update to Firefox 25, tabs will "go back" 2 to 3 pages, when switching tabs or exiting full screen.

It happens most frequently when exiting full screen from a video. i.e. youtube, dailymotion, nbc.com - any site with embedded video players.
When exiting full screen, the page skips backwards 2 to 3 pages. And no, I'm not clicking related videos while in full screen the whole time - this is while initiating full screen and exiting full screen, all from the same video page.
This happens less frequently when switching tabs - but if I switch to another tab, then back, the first tab will load the page I was on 2 pages ago.
More info: When this happens, the "forward arrow" is greyed out and the page that that loads is on the "back arrow" list twice - further down the list where it should be, as well as at the very top of the list, as though I had clicked on a link to that page.
This all started immediately upon restarting Firefox after updating to version 25 - no other changes have been made to my computer.

Thanks for the canned responses, but you guys are way off.
More information: It's related to HTML5 - whenever I fullscreen an HTML5 video, Firefox skips backwards to the most recent HTML5 video before that one, when exiting fullscreen. This last time, it skipped backwards past 4 pages that had no HTML5 content at all, to the one that did.

IPhone 4S Safari freezes when switching tabs

Hi.
Mobile Safari in my iPhone 4S freezes when switching tabs. This does not happen every time Safari is running, but it happened one too many already. Safari freezes even if I only have one tab and wanted to create a new one. The app would usually freeze while doing the switch, tho it also froze just before the tabs switch. Has anyone experienced the same? Please help. Thank you.

User troubleshooting after a reset is a restore. First from a backup and if that doesn't help, then as a new device. Remember a restore will delete data from the phone. Make sure you have everything backed up and synced to the computer before attempting the restore. If that does not help, make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar to check for hardware faults.

Temporarily show tab bar upon switching tabs with the keyboard in fullscreen mode

I use Firefox in fullscreen mode and switch tabs with Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn. I need to peek at the tab bar when I switch tabs, to avoid searching for the desired tab with multiple shortcut presses.
Is there a way to temporarily show the tab bar when I switch tabs with the keyboard shortcut? I want the tab bar to hide again after, say, 2 seconds of no tab switching.

You can try to set the focus to the location bar with Ctrl+L before switching the tabs to make the toolbar and tab bar appear.

Why can't I open links in a new tab with a right click anymore? And why has the toolbar removed the refresh button?

Several basic functions seem to be have vanished from Firefox. I can no longer open links in new tabs with a right click, and the refresh browser button (and back/forward navigation buttons, etc) do not appear in with consistency anymore. How do I get these basic navigational tools back? (most recent updates are installed)
== This happened ==
Not sure how often

* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Tabs and pages not drawn when switching tabs.

When switching between tabs or opening new tabs, the tab and the page are not drawn. But if I scroll down the page is drawn.
This doesn't happen always. It happens randomly.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

AIR app crashes when switching tabs

Hi there:
I posted in another forum about this, but it seems the issues
aren't really related, so a recap:

stopped (that doesn't really make sense to me, but OK).

component. Said HTML component looks for local content.
2) The crash occurs when the app tries to phone home to
Adobe; this phoning home appears to occur during item 1 above
_and/or_ when the app is launched.
Any help from above or insight appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Mirela:
It may be that the issue is a non-issue with AIR 1.5.1
(versus v1.5), so we'll see. Frustrating, nonetheless, especially
since it is a sporadic issue.

Thanks for taking the time to download it and try it out --
and for the feedback. Good to hear a positive! :)

Stor.e TV+ No Loader error keeps coming up when switching on

I have been experiencing continual problems accessing the hard drive. "No Loader" error message keeps coming up when switching on.
The so-called "solution" to this problem posted on this forum is to open up the box and fiddle with the cables. Whilst I have had some success with this method initially, dismantling the box 10 times a week is not on.
I tried something else in desperation.
When the No Loader message comes up, I switch the box off and on again from the remote.
After 2 or 3 times or so the HDD folder usually appears.
I have been doing this consistently now with great success. This however suggests that the No Loader error message is NOT a mechanical connector problem with the hard drive but (as usual) poor software (what else?).
Dismantling the unit is tantamount to switching it off for an extended period of time so may explain why this technique works.
Switching the unit on and off several times also solves the problem of the D folder not appearing on the network even though Win7 shows Store-TV-Plus as a mapped NTFS drive (but can't find the D folder).
See the similarity?
Another thing that exacerbates problems is the unit's poor ventilation. The first thing that happens with this unit is that the rubbish stick-on rubber feet fall off.
Whilst this may seem innocuous, the ventilation slots are underneath the unit and will be blocked if there are no feet. I live in a hot country so this device gets pretty hot and behaves even more erratically unless well ventilated.
Ideally keep it well away from other units and preferably sit it on a small box by itself with the vents underneath well exposed.
I also still experience problems playing FLAC and MKV files. The unit occasionally loses synch with FLAC files which generally otherwise play OK and locks up or causes loud bangs or white noise on the speakers (dangerous).
Some MKV files just don't play at all even though VLC plays them. There are a myriad other inconsistencies but these are the most annoying.
Is anyone else experiencing these problems or does anyone have any other solutions to prevent these problems?
I don't suppose we can expect another software upgrade from Toshiba? In your dreams, pal.

OK, so I took the risk and updated the firmware of my Stor.e TV+ to the Noontec V8S latest firmware V3.0816.13_V8S from noontec website.
The update went fine without a hitch (took about 2 minutes from an old 256MB flash drive plugged into the back USB port of the unit, which I formatted before using), and some of the irritating shortcomings of the Toshiba firmware was solved. Samba worked in some fashion, but I was still not able to download songs directly to the Stor.e over wireless, which is the only other feature I currently need. The irritating remote control buttons were changed to the way any sane person would use them (I had changed my universal remote control to correct this, so would have to change the settings if I kept the updated firmware) The new firmware seems solid, but I DON'T USE THE VIDEO CAPABLITIES, so I can't comment on this.
One major drawback of this update for me is that the small display on the unit becomes much less readable. Seems like there is a problem with the font on the new firmware. I use my Stor.e exclusively as a flac music player, and since I don't have it connected to a tv the small display is crucial for me to select tracks or disks. I have 300+ discs, so the Stor.e is an excellent cheap media player which I connect to my HIFI system via a DAC.
I thus had to change back to the Toshiba firmware to correct this problem. Seems like I would still have to use USB to download music to the Stor.e when I buy new CDs. What a pity.
Incidentally, the new Toshiba firmware is very much like the old firmware, in that it lacks the capability to switch on Samba. In the readme Toshiba states that the new firmware fixes a network problem, but I think that this is probably the smallest issue most users have with the Toshiba firmware.
So, my advice to anyone having video, control or other issues with the Toshiba firmware is to flash to the Noontec firmware to see if it resolves their issues. If it doesn't one can always revert to the official Toshiba firmware as I did.
You do this at your own risk though, if you brick your unit don't blame me...

Call a Function when switching tabs in TabbedPanel

I am using Allan Jardine's DataTables javascript library , along with the Spry TabbedPanel. I have one table in each of a number of Tabs. The table in the tab opened by default (or if I use ShowPanel()) is fine. However, if I switch tabs, the other tables, which were hiden when the page was opened, are not correctly initialised, and don't display correctly. Doing anything that causes the displayed table to be redrawn results in the table displaying correctly, and from then on I can switch tabs and the tables are fine.
DataTables has an API function fnDraw(), which will cause a specified table to be redrawn. Is it possible to cause TabbedPanel to call a user specified function when the tabs are swapped, so I can call fnDraw()? I think this woiuld solve my problem.
Thanks
Ron

Thanks.
But I found a simpler way. At the end of the jQuery(document).ready(function(), which initialises the datatables, I added
var ret=TabbedPanels1.showPanel("expiredquotes");
oTable2.fnDraw();
var ret=TabbedPanels1.showPanel("confirmedquotes");
oTable3.fnDraw();
var ret=TabbedPanels1.showPanel("openquotes");
Which opens each of the "other" tabs and redraws the respective DataTable while they are "visible". Then at the end I display the 'default' Tab. I only need to do this once, when the page is opened, after which the tables are correctly formatted.
Regards
Ron

Focus-requests when switching tabs in JTabbedPane

I have a tabbed pane with a JTextArea in each tab. I would like to switch focus to the corresponding area each time I select a tab or create a new one. A ChangeListener can detect tab selections and call requestFocusInWindow() on the newly chosen tab's text area.
For some reason, the focus only switches sporadically. Sometimes the caret appears to stay, sometimes it only blinks once, and sometimes it never appears. My friend's workaround is to call requestFocusInWindow() again after the setSelectedIndex() calls, along with a Thread.sleep() delay between them. Oddly, in my test application the delay and extra focus-request call are only necessary when creating tabs automatically, rather than through a button or shortcut key.
Does the problem lie in separate thread access on the same objects? I tried using "synchronized" to no avail, but EventQueue.invokeLater() on the focus request worked. Unfortunately, neither the delay nor invokeLater worked in all situations in my real-world application. Might this be a Swing bug, or have I missed something?
Feel free to tinker with my test application:

Did you ever get everything figured out with this? I have a similar problem ... which I have working, but it seems like I had to use a bunch of hacks.
I think the problem with the mouse clicks is because each event when you click the moues (mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked) causes the tab to switch, and also these methods are called twice for some reason - for a total of 8 events giving the tab the focus instead of your textarea.
This works, but seems aweful hacky:
     class TabMouseListener extends MouseAdapter
          private boolean switched = false;
          public void mousePressed( MouseEvent e ) { checkPop( e ); }
          //public void mouseReleased( MouseEvent e ) { checkPop( e ); }
          //public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent e ) { checkPop( e ); }
          public void checkPop( MouseEvent e )
               if( e.isPopupTrigger() )
                    mousex = e.getX();
                    mousey = e.getY();
                    int index = tabPane.indexAtLocation( mousex, mousey );
                    if( index == -1 ) return;
                    tabMenu.show( tabPane, mousex, mousey );
               else {
                    if( !switched )
                         switched = true;
                         e.consume();
                         int index = tabPane.indexAtLocation( e.getX(), e.getY() );
                         if( index != -1 )
                              tabPane.setSelectedIndex( index );
                              TabFramePanel panel = (TabFramePanel)tabPane.getComponentAt( index );
                              if( panel != null ) panel.getInputComponent().requestFocus();
                    else {
                         switched = false;
                         TabFramePanel panel = (TabFramePanel)tabPane.getSelectedComponent();
                         if( panel != null ) panel.getInputComponent().requestFocus();
     }Do you know of a better way yet?

Refreshing when switching tabs

Hi,
I have created a webcenter site that has tabs used in iframes. What I would like to do is to refresh the bottom frame when a person switches tabs so the old data id removed. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated.

What technology are you using? WebCenter Content with a Javascript frontend? Do you use JQuery or some other framework?
Can you post the existing code that needs changing?

Safari 5.1 hotkeys with left/right arrows are not working!

When I've updated to Safari 5.1 hotkeys stopped working that way, and now they are acting like Back/Forward
But Back/Forward are cmd+[ and cmd +]
Anybody with the same problem?
P.S I've tried to delete com.apple.safari.plist - no result

I ran into the same issue.
