Mail windows stay open when offline

Hi everyone,
I'm running 10.6.1 with mail 4.1 (1076).
I do a lot of e-mail while commuting and since I upgraded to Snow my messages typed and send offline just stay open; the close button doesn't respond. Even if I delete the message the window stays there. If I close the mail.app and reopen it everything is clean again.
Not a big deal but just annoying.
Any clue ?
Thanks

Actually, the message window stays also open when I'm connected... trying to close a newly created message is not possible, sending it is ok, if I save the message (cmd-s) it appears in the drafts, if I double click on the draft list a new window will open (so I have two windows of the same message), If I delete the message from the draft list it will disappear from the list but the window(s) will stay and are still editable.

Why does the print cue window stay open even after job is done?

In Tiger, and every other version of OSX I have any recollection of using, the printer window opens to display what's in the cue when you select to print something. Once printing is done, this cue closes. Since installing Leopard, everytime we print from our iMac, MacBook or MBP, the print cue window stays open indefinitely after the job is done, requiring a manual closing of the window. I can't for the life of me fathom what benefit this brings or who would want this. Is this part of Leopard or a problem with our install? Something I can turn off?

If you control-click (or right click) on the open printer queue in the Dock you can choose to have it auto close once the spool file is sent.
As to why this is necessary in Leopard, well I haven't seen a good enough answer to date...

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
myLoader.load(req);

Closed Project Window Stays Open

I have one project out of three where this is a problem. I can end the project but the window does not close.
I am using Captivate 4 and I have gone to preferences and changed end of project to be Close Project. Even at that, the last slide wants to keep going. I want it to freeze so it can be read. I put a button on it to stop the slide and then had to put a dummy slide at the back to close the project once the viewer hits the Close button.
On the other projects, I can just let the slide fade out. Why does the window stay open? Is there a solution? I could not find this listed in the forum but was sure this was an issue in versions 2 and 3 as well.
Thanks.
Jeffrey Riley

Do you mean like this?
Indeed, that is the new behaviour. You have to make a selection, before closing the window.
The new GarageBand does not quit, when closing the main application window. This way you faster switch between projects. You do not have to quit and relaunch.
If you want GarageBand to quit, use the quit command ⌘Q instead of closing the main window.

Command window stays opened at the end of script execution

Hello everyone,
Since I install Windows 2012 R2 systems, the command window opened when I execute my batch scripts often stay opened even if the script has ended.
As an example if I double-click a batch file, if the last line of the script is "echo here", it displays "here" and the window is not closed by Windows (it's not active of course, it just stays opened).
I found an easy way to trigger the (apparently) same problem. Do like this:
- right click the Windows button at the bottom left. Select "Command prompt"
- in the command window type "mstsc"
- close mstsc clicking on the close button
- type "exit" in the command window (or click the close button)
Now the command prompt is "frozen". I cannot type any command in it and I have to click the close button a second time to close it.
Anyone has an idea what is causing this?
Thanks

Hi Anna,
Sorry. I didn't receive any update notification email :-/
I tried using "start" as you suggested by you and the article you gave. No change at all.
To explain better I did a video you can see here : http://pferrucci.perso.sfr.fr/Issue/ (unfortunately I couldn't do it better).
It shows :
- I open a command prompt as Administrator (just to be sure, but it's the same as a non-admin user)
- I run taskmgr and I close it when it opens
- at this point, I type "exit" to close the console window. NOTE: at this moment you can see the window title changes from "Administrator : command prompt" to "command prompt". Maybe it is of interest.
- from now on, I can't type anything at the prompt. It is just disabled.
- I click on the close button once (see below)
- I open a second command prompt as Administrator. I run taskmgr and I close it.
- at this point, I click the close button once to close the console window. The button reacts but the window stays opened. At this point I could type some text at the prompt, the prompt would not react. It is just disabled.
- I click on the close button a second time. The Window goes away.

Start up window staying open

When i start up the BI publisher- the dos windows stays open now? Is this normal? When i shut it down it closes by itself.

that should have nothing to do with BI Publisher.
The application server seem to be started with java and not javaw.
Java allows you to see the console window on the sever which helps
identify issues.
It is not really a dos box - it is a command prompt.

Chat window stays open even after i log off

When ever i log off with a chat window open...it stays open when i log back on. Is it possible to not do that, Leopard never did that???

Hi Carolyn and Lud@,
I must admit I would have suggested that as well.
If the iChat 4 setting for Remembering Chats had been set there is nothing in iChat 5 to reset it.
In Theory clearing the window and Quitting iChat should delete the item from the .plist
Deleting the said .plist and restarting iChat would have caused iChat to recreate the .plist from Defaults and the Remember Chats Across Launch item would not be there.
What we could do with knowing now is, does the Window have any info at the top as to who and/or what room the chat is associated with ?
It may pay to check the File Menu of iChat to Check if this "Chat" that keeps popping up is in the Recents lists.

The window that opens when I click on the Time Machine icon is Finder (devices) and when I close this Time Machine also closes.

You will need to be much more specific about what you problem is. That is how TM works. That is how you find things to restore from TM, by using a Finder window so that you can browse through the Mac's hierarchy of folders and files.
Why are you double posting this?

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
Thanks!

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

DVD & Blu Ray Burner Drive Trays Do Not Stay Open When Media is in the Drive

I have a problem with both Windows 8/8.1 and the Windows 10 Technical Preview (there is no issue when I run Windows 7).
I have 2 optical drives: 1) DVD Burner and 2) Blu Ray Burner (I just got the second drive a few weeks ago). They are attached to the secondary SATA Chip (see below for specifics).
The problem I'm having is that when I eject media from either drive, the drive does not stay open, but rather immediately closes. Before I got the Blu Ray Burner, I had this problem with just the single DVD Burner by itself. I was hoping when I installed
Windows 10 Technical Preview that this problem would not be present, but it is present in that O/S as well.
This problem will repeat continuously if I attempt to use the eject button and so I either have to grab the disc while the tray is moving, or if I press the eject button again on the drive at the right time, I can get it to re-open and not close (this
is tricky to get the button timing right as it seems like it has to be done close to when the drive tray is fully extended when it starts retracting). It usually takes me 5 to 10 button presses to get it to stay open. Sometimes it will stay open for about
0.5 to 1s before it closes again, but most of the times it just immediately closes. I also have the same problem if I use the software eject feature by right clicking on the drive and choosing eject.
Of course, the expected behavior is that pressing the eject button should open the tray, but not close it immediately allowing you to remove the disc.
Here is some background information about my system and how the drives are connected:
1. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP45-ED3P Revision 1.0 LGA 775
2. Interface (for both drives): Gigabyte SATA II Chip - 2 x SATA 3 GB/s connectors (GSATA2_0, GSATA2_1) supporting up to 2 SATA 3 GB/s devices
3. Memory: 8 GB (4 x 2 GB)
It should be noted that I tri-boot between Windows 7, 8/8.1, and 10 Technical Preview and that this issue is not present in Windows 7, but has always been there in Windows 8/8.1 and now it is present in 10TP as well.
I've had this system for just over 6 years now and it is still going strong. It should be noted that I have both drives on the secondary SATA chip (as identified above), which is meant to be used with removable SATA devices.
Since the problem exhibits itself in both Windows 8/8.1 and 10TP, a reinstall of the O/S will have no affect on this problem and so this appears to be some other issue that is consistent between Windows 8/8.1 and 10TP.
I'd appreciate your support in looking at this issue - thanks!

P.S. I also submitted this feedback through the Insider Program.

Hey Zagayer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
As you now have two optical drives in your Mac Pro, you need to be able to choose which drive to eject. That is built into the system. You just hold the Option key while tapping eject for the 2nd drive.
OS X Mountain Lion: Eject a disk
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10613
If your computer has two optical drives, hold down Option-Media Eject or Option-F12 to eject a disc from the second drive.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Mail won't open when clicked

Hi, this has been going on for sometime, I have been putting up with it BUT I have now had enough of it !!!!!
I tap on the Mail Icon in the Dock, Mail doesnt Open, quite often there is what appears to be a Mail Window opening but it disappears as quick as it arrives.
The only way I can Open Mail is to lightly double tap my mouse pad, which pops up a menu from the Mail icon, there is often a list of previously opened Mail windows, I can often select one these, but only the one showing a Black 4 sided Diamond shape opens a Mail window, if it is blank or has a Tick, it doesnt open at all.
Failing that I have to select Open New Viewer window
It shouldn't be like that, WHY ???? and what can I do about it.
I have been back to the Apple shop with this problem, he whizzed around deleted a few things in the Library and it worked normally. BUT of course when I get home it soon MIS-BEHAVES again !!!!!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9427ir6om28i2qh/Screenshot%202014-12-01%2020.02.42.png ?dl=0
See image above, this may help explain easier my problem, normally MAIL should open by tapping the Mail Dock Icon, I just did that , it did nothing, zilch.
instead I have to often SELECT "New Viewer Window", other times I get by, by selecting one of the recently opened Windows with a Black shape next to it !!
Tim

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Canon Printing - Window stays open

This is a nit-picking question but bothersome none the less. Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, when I print something the printer window opens while printing then STAYS open and I would have to manually close the window. In Tiger it used to close automatically when the print job was complete. I have all the latest software and drivers. Is there a quick fix for this?
Thanks

There are several threads on this here. This is a new feature in Leopard, and you can set it to close by using the Auto Quit menu item in the printer's dock menu. Some have had to delete and re-add the printer for the Auto Quit to stick.
Hope this helps.

Some apps stay open when trying to close more than one app at a time in ios 7

I tried closing down 2 or 3 app at a time in IOS7 and there's always one or two that stay open. The icon at the bottom is still there but I've already swiped it up to close it. When I go out of the closing function and come back I see that they are still open and I need to close them again. I tried this on many ipads, iPhones and ipod touch and they all act the same way.
Chris

I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.
