HT2470 Clicking finder in the dock does not open a new window.

I seem to be experiencing some odd behaviour.
When I click the finder in the dock - no new finder window opens. The icon has an active glow but I cannot get it to launch.
Any thoughts or am I just being daft?

Ok I finally solved my problem too, this is the way I had done
Delete the following folders and files
DropboxHelperTools (Library Folder)
Dropbox (Application)
Dropbox (user)
2. Delete deleted com.apple.finder.plist
3. Delete .dropbox folder (Go to folder and then type ~/.dropbox)
4. Empty trash
5. Download and install DropBox from web again
6. During the installation, a window will pop up and mention it can't find the link, and what we need is to relink.
Bingo

    Hi
    I just want to report this bug in hope it will be fixed asap

    Thank you

    Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

  • PDF in Frame - Open Web Link does not open in new window

    I actually have 2 problems.
    1. Acrobat 7.0.9. Added a link to open a web page. When the pdf is viewed from within a frame on a web page, the web page link in the pdf does not open in a new window but replaces the pdf in the frame.
    2. If I download the pdf to my workstation and open it and click on the link, it does open in a new window BUT opens up 2 browser windows where the 2nd one opened is blank (yes, I am single clicking on the link)
    Issue 1 occurs in both IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox ?.??

  • Finder Icon in Dock does not open finder page

    My finder ICON in my Dock stopped opening row finder screen.
    I can open the page from my downloads folder in the dock, but not from the finder Icon, any idea why?

    Hello mike:
    Try this:
    Drag the system preference icon off the dock. Then drag the system preferences icon from your application folder to the dock.
    If this does not help, drag a preference file (com.apple.systempreferences.plist) to the trash and restart.

  • Option/command does not open a new window from bookmarks

    I have an occasional problem: how come sometimes a bookmarked link in Safari does not open in a new window when I click option/command. or even shift/option/command. I have had and still have this issue over the last few iterations of OS X and Safari. Does not do it for all bookmarks just a few.

    OK. A couple of other things to try in that case.
    It may just be a corrupt preference file causing the issue, so quit Safari, trash this file and then restart Safari:
    Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
    If that makes no difference, does it behave correctly when used from another user account on the same machine? If you don't have another account then use System Preferences > Accounts > \[+\] to create a temporary one for testing.

  • When I double click on events the pics does not open. I have to go to edit to get the pic up on the screen. I can not enlarge the photo either. I have tried to rebulid the libary

    I have iPhoto 11.When I double click on an event the pics do not spread out. I just get a yellow frame around the event. This is when I double click with left finger. With right finger option is slideshow. I can not enlage a pic with double click either. I have rebuild the libary but no difference . Can anyone help me please ?

    Sounds like a trackpad issue. Try changing the trackpad's settings.  Post in the appropriate Mac model forum.  If you have a mouse available try it to see if you can get iPhoto to do what you want.  This can narrow down where the problem is.

  • Having lots of problems with my firefox. It does not download when I click unless I restart the firefox many times. It does not open a new windows. Help please!

    2 problems:
    1. Files aren't downloaded when I click download. It only downloads after I restart the firefox many times.
    2. New windows aren't being opened.
    Help please. I've encountered the first problem since way back, but it wasn't this severe, now the downloading is very limited as I have to restart firefox many many times.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Some security software is also able to block new window.
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • OSX: FF running, but no windows open - clicking on the dock icon should open a new window.

    Running OSX 10.5.8, FF3.6.10. If I close all FF windows, but leave FF running, I should be able to open a new FF window by clicking the dock icon. This doesn't work - it just brings FF to the front, but no windows open. Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

  • Create a hyperlink that does not open a new window if a window containing the url is already open?

    Is there a way to create a hyperlink to a url that "jumps to" the URL's window if it is already open in the browser?  Therefore a new window is not opened and the existing window containing the hyperlink would not change either.
    If the target url is not already open, then yes the link could either open in a new window or in its existing window.
    Does anyone know if there is a command/code for this? 

    Ok, so to be clear, I should add all of the following:
    Header 1
    function getCookie(c_name) {
    if (document.cookie.length>0)   {
    c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
    if (c_start!=-1)     {
        c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
        c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start);
        if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length;
        return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
    return "";
    function wOpen () {
    var cookiename = getCookie ('winFlag');
    newWin = window.open("YOURPAGE.html","myWin'","height=200, width=200");
    newWin.blur();
        document.cookie = "winFlag=1";
    into 1 file?  And that is the file that links to the music page?
    I don't know if my Flash music page creates a cookie onto the user's browser.  That would be necessary for this to work, right?

  • Workflow task on UWL does not open in new window

    Hi,
    Some of the workflow tasks in my UWL do not open up in a new window when i click on them. I notice that these tasks are not even hyperlinked (underlined). Instead, when i click on the line, a small pop up shows to options: Forward and Resubmit. Therefore i am not able to approve / reject these workitems.
    Whereas there are some other work items which open up in a new window on click.
    Is this problem related to workflow configuarion (perhaps enabling the WF for portal) or is it something to do with UWL configuration?
    Appreciate your help.
    thanks

  • Quick link does not open in new window

    Hi all
    I created an URL iView and assigned a quick link to it. The "launch in new New Window" property is set to
    "display in separate window".
    If i call the quick link url the iView is not shown in a separate window, but in the content area. Why?
    If I click in the portal on that iView, it opens in a new window.
    What am I missing here or is it a portal bug?
    Thanks for your help.
