How do you close dashboard client?

How do you close dashboard client? Adobe flash player will not update until I do. I didn't know you could close it as I've never had to do so. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, you shouldn't normally be running into that.  Do you have a current installer?  You can get the latest at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
If so, I'm guessing that one of your dashboard widgets keeps Flash in-use, but I'm not sure what it would be.
Choose the apple icon in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, then Force Quit.  Hopefully Dashboard/Client will be an option.
If not, it might be easier to just reboot into Safe Mode to do the installation (safe mode is slow, so you'll want to reboot when you're done):
OS X Yosemite: Start up in safe mode

  • How do I "Close Dashboard Client"?

    I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player 10 on my MacBook Pro. However, the installation does not take place because I continue receiving an error that says I must "Close Dashboard Client". What does that mean, and how do I accomplish that? I searched here in the forums and found nothing regarding this topic.
    I should also note that I am not only asking this question for myself, but for two other people who are running into the same error message when trying to do the installation. The other computers involved are a MacBook Pro identical to mine, and a brand new iMac. Thanks for any assistance!

    I tried to quit the process...actually in the Activity Monitor I have 5 "DasboardClients" and none of them will quit once I quit them (or even force quit them) they keep popping back up. Any suggestions?
    I had the same problem. Went to System Preferences/Accounts, and under My Account/Login Items I deleted Safari and Dashboard apps with "-" button to stop them opening automatically on start-up. Then restarted Mac with Safari and Dashboard closed, and then activated Adobe app from "Downloads" folder without going to Safari again. Worked for me.

  • How do you close apps in iOS 7

    How do you close apps in iOS 7. The way I use to do it doesn't  work any more and it is reducing my useful battery life

    Double tap on the home key, it brings up a line of apps with little screen shots hovering over them. Flip the screen up, kinda of like you're flipping those apps off your screen.
    When you're done just press the home key once to exit the mode.
    As to battery issues, poke around in the notifications. There's a lot of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need. Also look to the background updating of apps. Background updating of weather and stocks is defaulted to on, which means it's continually going out to update. May not be something you need.

  • I tried to set up a remote desktop between my macmini and my work computer.  I hit cancel and now the Remote Desktop will not close.  I cannot shut down my computer either.  How do you close a non-responsive application.  I have tried everything!

    I tried to set up a remote desktop connection between my MacMini and my work computer.  It was not working so I hit cancel, but then the big black screen of death came up and will not go a way.  I cannot close my computer nor quit the remote desktop connection.  How do you close a non-responsive application?  By the way, I am new to Mac and it is not as simple as hitting the Control, Alt, Delete.  Please help.

    Try ( alt + cmd + esc ).  Gives you a menu of running applications, and a chance to "Force Quit".

    How do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

    What do you mean by "Close?"
    Eject??
    If so, you could use Go to Computer to find it if it is not in the Sidebar or on the Desktop. Ctrl-click or Right-click on the drive and choose Eject <diskname>
    Or, you could set it to show in the SideBar in the Finder Preferences, SideBar tab. Then, it would have an eject icon next to it in the Sidebar.

  • How do you close a database link in Apex?

    How do you close a database link in Apex that is referenced in an interactive report on Page 1? I want to make sure the database link is closed before a user navigates to another page in the Apex application.
    Lets assume the database link is referenced in the region source for Page 1 as follows:
    Page 1 - Employee Listing
    Region Source:
    select ename, job, hiredate
    from scott.emp@link1
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Ms. H

    John,
    I figured out how to eliminate the ORA-02020 and ORA-02081 errors. The solution is reference below:
    1. Create an interactive report in a page.
    2. Add the SQL statement in the region source as listed below:
    SELECT ENAME, JOB, HIREDATE
    FROM SCOTT.EMP@DBLINK
    WHERE (UPPER(ENAME) LIKE '%' || UPPER(:P1_TEXT_SEARCH)||'%')
    Conditional Display
         Condition Type:
    PL/SQL Expression
         Expression 1
         :P1_TEXT_SEARCH IS NOT NULL
    3. Add a search button and text search field as items on the page.
    4. Create a process in the page to check the cursor and catch an exception as listed below:
         Name: CHECK_CURSOR
         Sequence: 30
         Point: On Submit - After Computations and Validations
         Type: PL/SQL Anonymous Block
         PL/SQL Process:
         FOR C1 IN (SELECT ENAME, JOB, HIREDATE
         FROM SCOTT.EMP@DBLINK
    WHERE (UPPER(ENAME) LIKE '%' || UPPER(:P1_TEXT_SEARCH)||'%'))
         LOOP
         IF C1.ENAME IS NOT NULL
              THEN
              HTP.P('Employee Name: '||C1.ENAME||' ');
              END IF;
         END LOOP;
         EXCEPTION
              WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
              THEN
              APEX_APPLICATION.G_PRINT_SUCCESS_MESSAGE := 'No Data Found Error';
              WHEN OTHERS THEN
              APEX_APPLICATION.G_PRINT_SUCCESS_MESSAGE := 'Unexpected Error';
    Conditional Processing
    When Button Pressed (Process After Submit When This Button is Pressed)
         P1_SEARCH_DATA
    5. Create a process in the page to close the database link as listed below:
         Name: CLOSE_DBLINK
         Sequence: 40
         Point: On Submit - After Computations and Validations
         Type: PL/SQL Anonymous Block
         PL/SQL Process:
         COMMIT;
         EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION CLOSE DATABASE LINK DBLINK';
    Conditional Processing
    When Button Pressed (Process After Submit When This Button is Pressed)
         P1_SEARCH_DATA
    6. Apply changes, run the page, and conduct a test.
    I hope this solution is helpful to others.
    Ms. H

  • How can you close an email after reading without either deleting it or saving it somewhere?  I use AOL and it just goes to "old mail" after you have read the email.

    How can you close an email in Apple iPad after reading it without deleting it.  I use AOL and in their application it just goes to "old mail" after you have read it.  In Apple's email it stays open. Very annoying.

    You cannot actually close an email in the mail app on the iPad. You can tap on the drafts folder or any empty folder that you migh have when you are done reading the email and then the blank white window will appear in the mail app.
    The mail app will always show emails otherwise. That is just the way that it works currently on the iPad.
