I just noticed you can't right click icons in the dock when in Mission Control. I think this would be useful for turning off other apps easilt from full screen mode.

Would anyone else find this useful?

For me no. I think it's just as much or more effort as cmd-tab (or swipe) to the open app and then cmd-q to close it.

  • How to remove sites when right-clicking Safari in the Dock?

    Right clicking Safari in the Dock shows 3 sites visited awhile ago. There is a diamond shape before each. And each is repeated several times, 16 for one. I've cleared History, closed Safari, removed it from the Dock, restarted Safari. they're still there. Opening them and deleting just increases the amount.
    I'm stymied.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I've resolved the issue myself.
    First, let me clarify, each of these "sites" had several tabs.
    Here's what worked: by Option-clicking on one closes all other tabs. Of course this can be done manually, closing each tab separately.
    Once all but one tab is showing click the "close", red circle, button and the site deletes from the Safari list in the Dock.
    Not sure why this anomaly happened but I know how to fix it if it should happen again.

  • How do you exit a game from full screen mode when the game has crashed?

    Hey there
    There has seriously got to be a better way of exiting a crashed game than just turning the power off.
    I sometimes play Sims 3 on my mac, and we all know that Sims 3 is the most poorly coded game out there, so it crashes a lot. I don't understand how you can get out of the full screen without switching the machine off the wrong way.
    I have tried every single keyboard command people say to exit full screen mode, but they don't work when the game has crashed! In fact pressed every single button on the keyboard to try and exit, but nothing works.
    On Windows it's so simple, you press the start button on the keyboard, but on a mac it doesnt work.
    So any help to what i can do?
    Thanks

    Force quit just the game itself.
    Command + option + esc
    It's like control + alt + delete on Windows.

  • Can I swop an icon in the Dock?

    Okay, a bit unlikely, but a good icon is a pleasing thing.
    For ages I've used a third party app with a great icon but now I've changed to a new equivalent — it does a better job but has a really bad icon.
    Can I swop icons with Terminal or otherwise modify one?

    Great, baltwo! I'd really like to do this but need a little more help, please.
    For starters, I took a screenshot of the old Dock icon that I want to re-use with Snapz Pro X and got a 70 KB 63 x 65 RGB .tiff image. Then I do as you say, "Select the app, CMD+I, click on the icon," but find I can't paste in the new image.
    Maybe it's this particular app -- the icon I want to replace is for Snapheal and to start it up, one drags an image onto its icon in the dock. So when I try to paste in the new image, the app starts up.
    Thanks . . . fortes

  • Can't drag an icon to the dock

    I am a recent Mac convert and I just set up user profiles on my Mac Mini for my two kids. My son plays Pirates of the Caribbean online. I installed it on the Mac and when I opened the applications folder and tried to drag the icon into the doc it wouldn't drag and I got an error message saying I couldn't launch the application from there. I wasn't trying to start it from there, only drag it. There was no problem performing the same task with Safari. I also had no problem dragging the icon to the dock under my user profile (admin.) Does anyone have any ideas of what I need to do to fix this?
    Thanks!

    If you have Parental Controls turned on you must explicitly allow an application to launch. You've downloaded a new program and by default it cannot be run. You'll need to open Parental Controls, find the program in the list of applicaitons, and put a checkmark on it to give permission to it to run.
    Also when you get application update alerts and update a program, be sure to try running it immediately. Sometimes Parental Controls will see an updated program as being totally new and you'll need to go back in and set its permission again.

  • Adobe Reader XI, Comments, Comment Dialog, when multiple paragraphs entered causes comment to rapidly flicker when mouse hovers over comment icon.  Unreadable.  Can still right click and open the icon to edit text.  Windoes 8.1.  Repeatable on two identic

    Adobe Reader XI downloaded to my wife's laptop tonight.  Windows 8.1.  Open PDF, select Comments > comment dialog, then place icon on PDF and start editing.  Small edits work fine.  Large amounts of comment text, once you move off the icon and come back and hover over the comment icon, causes the full size comment window to flicker rapidly (5-10ms between on and off) until you move the mouse away from the icon.  Unreadable.  Tried on my identical model laptop and happens there too.  What's going on?

  • Can't put firefox icon in the dock

    the second thing I am support to do is to drag firefox icon over to the A folder I can't do it not with a single click or a double click or just drag it over to A folder there is where I am stuck then from the A folder I should drag the the firefox icon down to the dock but I can't

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • I have a windows laptop and i cant download itunes, it says it will take a few days then a minute in it will just say you can not download, i could download the old itune no problem so what should i do

    my brother told me that mac does this because they want people to buy new laptops that our theres, my laptop is only a year old, i want to download itunes because i just got an ipod, please help i really need itunes

    Sounds like it also could be your gpu and/or memory. My previous mbp (2007) went through something similar in terms of symptoms, but the lines were more pinkish/purplish, and the cursor arrow turned into a large block of lines. Had new motherboard and 1 ram stick replaced, and now its fine.

  • After You Drag an Icon Into the Dock, Can You Change the Way it Looks?

    I work with files that are on a few Windows servers, so I can't change the icons of any files or folders that are on those servers. I've dragged each of the servers' icons into my dock so I can access them quickly, but all the icons in the dock look the same. Is there a way I can change the icons in the dock that represent those servers? There's no "Get Info" for them so you can't copy and paste the same way you can with folder/file icons that reside on your hard drive.
    I created an alias (shortcut), copied it onto my desktop, changed that icon, then dragged that into my dock, and then deleted all the original aliases, but it doesn't hold the link, so I want to be able to drag the server icon into the dock and then access that icon and change it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    Anything on this yet? The whole "alias/shortcut" thing didn't work. I actually got it to work but after restarting the computer the icons in the dock show as question marks.
    Isn't there a resource file or something I can dig into to change those icons in the dock?
    Thanks...

  • My Apps icon in the dock now has a little red '1' in the upper right.  Why?

    I've clicked on the icon in the dock expecting to see why I have this alert, but nothing is obvious.  It's like the email alert you get with Apple Mail.

    Good morning, QuickAgPG,
    I took a look at the site this morning.   There are some good omens.
    It appears that a Snow Leopard compatible version of the Solitaire game will soon be available, if that is the one you are unhappy about.  
    If it is other than Solitaire, the owner is an ex Apple man and one would have thought, more sympathetic to Apple clients.   When you approached them on their site, what did they say?
    One last point.   If this is the Full Deck Solitaire it looks to be a free app from the App Store though I can't find a price if bought direct.
    The choice would appear to be ... wait for the Snow Leopard update they write about or buy the new version direct.  If the latter you will first have to remove the original app from your computer.   App Cleaner will do that job.
    Incidentally, I see you have a second thread elsewhere; not the best policy as it causes confusion.

  • If you have many tabs open (in my case 30 tabs), you cannot click every single tab with your mouse, you can only reach them by opening the tab list at the right

    If you have many tabs open (in my case 30 tabs), you cannot click every single tab with your mouse, you can only reach them by opening the tab list at the right.

    You can create a folder with the home pages by using "Bookmark All Tabs" to open a specific page.
    You can place that folder on the bookmarks toolbar or use the Bookmarks menu button that you can find in the toolbar palette to get access to that folder easily.
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
    * "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.

  • Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

    Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
    Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
    It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
    How do I get "save and quit" back?
    Thanks

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

    I want to make a note and put in a folder like we just place a notepad by right clicking in windows,how should I create a note in a folder in mac pro ...?

    There's no "New File" shortcut in Finder on Macs, so you have to launch the application you want (eg TextEdit), create your document, and save it there. There are workarounds using Terminal (the touch command), AppleScript/Automator, and using third-party launch programs like Quicksilver, but natively, it can't be done.

  • Can I right click on the iPad

    Is there any way to simulate a right click in Safari on an iPad?

    I'm in Safari and want to right click the page so I can View Source like on a PC. I tried holding down my finger and it    just highlights the first word on the page and allows you to copy or define the word. Similarly, if I see an image I want to download or copy I can't right click it.
