How can I close the finder application

I need to know how to close the finder application because there have been many downloads that I cannot do unless all applications are closed. if you cannot then owners of mac please make it possible because (no offense) if not downloads are useless on the mac.

Hi Jason, Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '08 forum.
This forum is for discussion of issues and techniques arising in the use of Apple's word processing/page layout application Pages '08.
You might try asking your question in the Using Mac OS X Leopard forum, where you may get a more complete answer than the one below.
The Finder is different from other applications in that it is always running when you are running OS X. You can't quit it or even Force Quit it. It is exempt from the "Quit all running applications" instruction you'll see with some installation procedures.
Regards,
Barry

  • Can't close the finder application

    I had to urn off my computer, could not break the freeze any other way. However when I turn it back on it still is not working.

    Have you tried to force quit? Press Command + Option + Escape keys.
    So how is it not working when you boot up? Finder will always be open - it is your desktop. If you have a Finder window open when you shut down, it will be open when you boot up. You also need to have the settings set to not open windows when booting up.

    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 deploy the WAR application in the Tomcat

    How can I deploy the WAR application in the Tomcat. Do I have to do any manifest file.
    Thanks
    S. Nikov

    First of all, which version of Tomcat are you using?
    Deploying a WAR file in Tomcat is very easy. Just put the WAR file in the %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps directory and start Tomcat. It will automatically find the WAR.
    Please read the Tomcat documentation: start Tomcat and point your browser to http://localhost:8080

    How can U share the pages application with another computer?

    Just make sure it is for you or your family.
    If you purchased Pages through the Mac App Store, then just login on the other computer using the same Apple I.D. and you can install it at no extra charge.

  • 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.

  • How can i change the default application to vlc player for playing any videos on my macbook?

    How can i change the default application to vlc player for playing any videos on my macbook?

    1. Control click the file you want to open.
    2. Click Get Info.
    3. Under open with, pick the App you want to be default.
    4. Click Change All Button.
    5. Confirm your decision.
    You have to do this with every file that has a different extension. You can't change the default for every file with a different extension in a single operation.

  • How can I use the find button in Edit ADF Table in JDeveloper 10.1.3

    Hi all,
    in JDeveloper 10.1.3
    How can I make the find button work in
    the same Edit ADF Table without adding new view ?
    thanks

    Hi there,
    it depends on what you mean by adding a new view object. You[b] don't have to create a new viewobject. You do have to add a second instance of your existing view object to your page.
    Form scratch works more or less like this. Drop your view object as ADF table on the form. Add the find and execute operations. Drop the same view object on your form but now as ADF search form. Place the fields form the search form in the corresponding columns next to the existing fields. For each #{row} field ,and the find button, set the rendered property
    #{bindings.testUserIterator.findMode ==false}. For each inputfield, and the execute, set the rendered property #{bindings.testUserIterator.findMode ==true}.
    Now it will work.
    I hope this is what you are looking for.
    Good luck

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
