How can I close the Appearance window? screen? from System Preferences?

I am still trying to get used to my new Intel IMac and was exploring. After I looked at Universal Access, two things happened:1) the menu bar at the top and the display got large and I can't seem to return them to the original setting and 2) the Appearance window now won't go away--it allows me only to minimize it and it seems to be preventing me from accessing System Preferences. I have been working on this all morning and I'm stuck. Please can anyone help?

A foolish question on my part, perhaps, but have you tried restarting the computer?

  • How can I prevent the S5's screen from coming on when charging completes?

    I got my S5 today and it seems to have a "feature" that will be very damaging to the OLED display.  When it's done charging, the screen comes on and stays on.  I've been going through all the settings I can find and don't see anything that will prevent this.  Since static images burn into OLED screens, this is the last thing I want.  It's done the same thing several times.  My old phone (Galaxy Nexus) didn't do this.  When the Nexus finished charging, it did so with no fanfare.  The screen stayed off.
    When the S5 is locked and the screen is off, there's no reason for the screen to come on for anything short of a phone call.  It certainly shouldn't come on and stay on just because the battery finished charging.  And, any time the display does come on without user input, it should turn off again automatically if it's idle for the length of the screen timeout.
    I've got "Smart stay" turned off and "Screen timeout" set to 1 minute but, after it self-activates, it stays on indefinitely.  I've let it go for 20 minutes and the screen is still on.  How can I fix this?  If I can't get this behavior to stop, it's going back to the store.  I'm not paying $600 plus tax to have my lock screen burned onto my phone because I charge it at night.

    Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
    I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
    After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

  • How can I close the iOS Diagnostics window?

    When trying to solve a problem through Apple's support service a iOS Diagnostics app started and now I cant figure out how to close it. It's not in the recently used list of apps, but when I swype through the opened apps, it's always there.
    So my question is:
    How can I close the iOS Diagnostics window?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • When closing FF and then try to go back on, a msg. says FF is already running, but not responding, to open new window you must first close the existing window or restart system. How do i close without restarting?

    'This happens after a FF session is ended and am back on my desktop screen. If I then try to go back online a message says that FF is already running but is not responding. To open a new session you must first close the existing process or restart your system. I have to restart the computer to before it allows me to go back on. How can I close the session and then open a new one without rebooting???

    Hey GreenViking,
    You can kill the process manually by right clicking in the task bar (next to the time and date) and opening the task manager.
    [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it This article] has some information about Firefox hanging when you try to close it.
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I hide the downloads window?

    Hi,
    When I download a file the downloads window opens on top of the page I'm viewing. I have to then close it or move it to carry on working on that page. I then go to save another file off the page and the downloads window opens up over the page again. This is flippin' annoying when you're researching and downloading a number of documents off hte same page.
    How can I stop the downloads window opening on top when I download files?
    Any advice much appreciated :-)
    Many thanks!
    Evan

    There is a way, but it may not be supported for ever... If you want the old download manager back, go to about:config, click the I'll be careful, I promise! button. Then search for "download", and set the browser.download.useToolkitUI preference to true (double-click it).

    You are right in the fact of the programmer must make a exit mechanism. However, this is not a bug, this feature is related to the management of this windows type (modal). Bye

    When I turn on Messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines.  How can I get the regular Messages screen back?

    The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

    You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
    and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.

    Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
    turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
    the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
    use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
    run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

    How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing every time iWeb starts up?
    Oh yes and now that we are talking: when I plug in my ipod, I want iTunes to start, not iPhoto.
    Who knows these tricks?

    iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera.  Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.

  • How can i Close the PO by changing the Qty to 6000 from 5.443,206???????

    Hi All,
    User wants the  PO with 240bags= 6000 Kg but the value is like this  240bags x 22.68kg  = 5.443,200 Kg(this is picking from material master in Alternate units of measure 100bags =2268)
    *As of now the PO status is:
    Ordered Qty: 240bags
    Delivery : 264.550 (User changed the Qty from 240 to 264.550 bags in delivery)
    PGI Qty: 264.550
    GR: 240 bags
    IR: not completed
    The fact is that they purchased 6000kg and they were able to add into the system just 5.443,206, and They need to add the rest into the PO:  556,794 kg (we have them in the warehouse)
    How can we do this?
    In order to close this PO they want to add remaining Qty
    i have tried to change the alternate unit of measure in the material master from 100bags=2268Kg to100bags=2500kg but this is not reflecting in the PO
    if i am trying to create a new PO the new AOU(to100bags=2500Kg ) is reflecting
    Please let me know how can i Close the PO by changing the Qty to 6000 from 5.443,206???????

    Hi,
    As per your posting i under stood the question like this.
    PO has been created for 240 bags which is 5.443,200 Kg ( As per the material master calculation).But user wants 6000kg.
    Delivery has been done for 264.550 bags at 100bags =2268 kg.Means 264.550*22.68 = 5999.94 almost 6000kg.
    And since PO is for 5,443,200 KG , GR has been made against this qty.
    At this stage please remove the new conversion change for the material since every transaction has been made against the PO it will not reflect.Also if there exists any transaction in pipe line will get effct due to this.
    Just change the PO qty to 264.550 bags and receive the GR for the remaining qty which is 24.55 bags .Sytem will allow this change.Also no need of additional Delivery or PGI. since already the PGI has been for 264.55 bags.
    Other wise if you want change the conversion factor for the material , please reverse the GR done and cancel the PGI at VL09 and delete the delivery and make the PO afresh and change the qty as per the 6000kg requirement and repeat the process.
    Please reply the result.
