IChat new windows not showing.

iChat refuses to open any new messages windows (the one that asks accept, decline, block). Any idea why that might be happening??

Hi,
Do you know what Service this is linked to ?
iChat 6 can have all Buddy List showing in one list which may mean you cannot tell who the IM are from. (or which Buddy List they are associated with)
Sometimes an issue like this can show up if you are using Spaces and are not in the Space that iChat is In.

Ichat preference window not showing up

I want to create a new account with ichat, and hook it up to my gmail/google account.
However, when I open ichat the main window doesn't show up. I can see the menu bar with file, edit, view, buddies, video, format, window, and help. I tried bringing all windows to front but only my Bonjour list shows up. I never really used the program, but must have set up an account at some point even though I have no contacts. If I could just figure out how to create a new account that would be great, how can I get the main window to reappear when I open ichat?

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
It is possible to Start up iChat the first time and click through all the Screens and you will have iChat started, possibly with only Bonjour set up.
It sounds like you have either done this or have any other Buddy List you have turned Off/Logged out.
1) In the iChat Menu itself you have Accounts (Sub Menu)
Does this List anything other than the Bonjour Account ?
2) Go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts pane.
In the List here on the left is anything listed other than the Bonjour Account ?
In either case select the account (In 1) it will add a tick and Log the account In.
In 2) You need to go to the Account Info tab and select the "Use this Account" box to Login.
If there is No Account you will need to do 3)
3) Click the Plus Button at the bottom of the list in 2)
Providing you have a Screen Name ready you can choose from the top drop down the account type it is and enter the details required.
a) Free AIM Names from here
b) Free @Mac.com Name here
c) You can register for a MobileMe trial but it required a Credit card upp front AND you have to Discontinue it yourself before the 60 days is up or you Get Charged (Trial Button is top right).
d) You can use any Existing Google Mail ID once you have gone to your Google Account page and turned On the Talk Option
e) You can use any Jabber ID you have. Most likely this is going to be gained in a third Party App as most Jabber Serves don't have Web Page registrations.

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

When right clicking to open link in new window (not tab) foxfire immediately switches windows rather than opening new window in background

Just updated to foxfire 15.0, and now each time I open a link in a new window foxfire will switch immediately to that newly opened window rather than opening the new window in the background as it did before I updated to 15.0. I am aware of the option to check or uncheck switching to new tabs immediately, but I am speaking of opening a link in a new window, not tab. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

BBC iPlayer window not showing on MAC OS X LION

I tried unistall and reinstall, but iPlayer window not showing no more. It did work before.

Hi, i've fixed it now. I had to remove the BBC iPlayer folder from the library and then reinstall it. But what i did not know was in MAC OS LION the library is now hidden. Thats why i could not follow the instructions on BBC iPlayer website. But it works back to normal now thanks.

Command-T opens new window not new Tab with Snow Leopard

Does anyone else have this issue? Command-T opens new window not new Tab with SL.
And yes all my settings are correct!!

Greetings,
If your preferences for Tabs are correctly set (the top two checkboxes are checked) and it's still opening a new window, then it would seem your preferences may be corrupt. In that case, you should quit Safari, go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
Then restart Safari, setup your preferences again, and test to see if it works.

I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new windoiw opens but it's blank inside.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

5.0 won't work - extensions message is "localized string not found". When I force it to try to load a new window it shows a gray screen with the bookmarks on top then immediately closes and wants to report the error. Has been this way since 5.0 came out.

I first tried downloading Safari when the 5.0 update came out last year. When I choose the app in the dock, I get the blue top bar (Safari, File, etc) but nothing else loads. I uninstalled the app and tried again several times, but no success. For over a year now I've used Firefox as a result. Today I thought I'd try again, but same results. When I choose "new window" in the file menu, I get a small gray window with my bookmarks on top, then in a few seconds, the app quits unexpectedly and the report an error screen appears. I've unchecked all the languages in the information area for the app, cleared all history, cookies, and cache. Still the extensions tab in the preferences area has "LOCALIZED STRING NOT FOUND" in 4 places. It won't show what that means when I click the "?". Will I ever be able to use Safari again?

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]

Check and tell if its working.

When I click on firefox in taskbar, it does not open in a new window and shows previews.

I have firefox 14 and windows 7. firefox is pinned to taskbar. When I click on the firefox icon in taskbar, I want it to open in a separate window and not show preview.

Yes. Thank you. Tutorial solves half the problem. The firefox icon no longer shows previews but I am still unable to open a new window by clicking on it. I would like the icon to open a separate window every time I click on it. Instead, it opens only 1 window. Please help. Thank you.

Master Password Feature: After sometime (10-15 min.) the drop down list for the field on any site does not show; opening new window (not refresh or new tab) drop down appears.?

I manage a ton of accounts for different customers suing the same login pages (GoDaddy, WordPress, etc.) I use the Master Password Feature to help keep track of the many variants in logins and passwords.
After some unknown period of time, even closing the page tab so a new page session is started at the remote server, Firefox does not provide me with the usual drop-down selection list of the previously used login names. However, if I open a new FF window (file/new window) from the menu bar, the drop down becomes available.
How can I refresh the original window session in FF or change the timeout length?

Well, you said LOV...that might mean you are using JDev 11g. Are you? If so what technology stack are you using?
Assuming you are using JSF (?) you might be "backing" your list component in the application scope...but that is not likely.
If you are using ADF/BC on your business component level, you can clear your view object from which you are querying the possible values of this list...unless your you have made a method to compile this list...in which case you know what you are doing...so that is probably not the case.
Essentially you want to requery the VO upon which your LOV is based...unless you are using JPA or something...and then I know "requery" is not the right word...is it?

Tile view in new tab window not showing

I recently updated Firefox to 36.0.4 and since then the tile view window (showing recently visited sites) when opening a new tab has gone. There is no 'Settings' button in the corner of the screen to turn it on either like theire used to be. How do I get it back?

You can check on the about:config page if the browser.newtab.url is still set to about:newtab
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

New window not appearing

While working on Oracle Discoverer. When the user opens a report and clicks on the search button a new window should appear but it doesn't.

New users not showing up while trying to set folder permission settings

Server 2012
This is a new virtual domain server and file server in a starwind cluster, I just started migrating users last week.
This last weekend (two days ago) the cluster crashed while doing windows updates on this server. I have been unable to get it to download any updates since without crashing, not sure if that is related to this issue somehow.
I added some new users today and got them all logged in and their data transferred over. good. But then I went to this shared folder that everyone has a mapped drive too and tried to add them in the security tab of a sub folder but their accounts will not show
up when I search for them. Any account I added previously to last weekend show up, students, mine, etc.
even if I select the exact OU the accounts are located in, even if I type their whole name and domain. In AD the accounts are there.
If I log into the backup domain controller Their accounts show up there while in a folder security settings tab. They are listed in active directory on both domain controllers.
I have exhausted myself on Google search.
What the heck did I break?
Maybe I should run
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Not sure if I will lose any data doing that or what the repercussions would be..

Hi Dustin,
If the DC is having USN rollback issue, we can resolve it by demote then re-promote or restore the DC using a supported method such as using System State backup to restore.
