Mailto opening additional window in IE9

Hi,
I am using navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]"), "_self"); command to open an email. This works fine as a standalone swf file but when I use the same in my flash e-learning course which has nested swf loading, it works fine in IE8 however, in Windows7/IE9, it opens an additional window.
Anyone knows how to resolve this issue? Any pointers?
Thanks,

it's a browser specific problem.
whether it extends beyond ie9 to version 10 or not, i don't know. whether it occurs in versions before ie8 or not, i don't know. whether it extends to other browsers/versions, i don't know.
but, i do know there are significant problems when you use the javascript mailto function and i know, to avoid those problems, you should use server-side script.

How can I stop my browser from opening additional window every time it starts pointing to add-ons upgrade page.

It start suddenly some days ago. I tried the conventional solutions like setting the home page, upgrading the addons marked for upgrade (although I really didn't want to upgrade the Shockwave flash - every time I do this I have some issue...) etc. but none of them helped me and i couldn't find some setting particulary about this. I'm having an antivirus solution and I doubt this to be some sort of infection.
So, this is the reason to try to find some answers here before change the browser. I'm using old version (version 12 if I recall it correctly), I know, but the newer ones.. I just don't like them much.
Thanks in advance!

Mhm.. this is what I wanted to avoid.
Anyway, I'll use the post to clarify that the page opened in the additional window is https://www.mozilla.org/bg/plugincheck/. Obviously the problem is not the addons, it is the plugins. If someone had resolved that issue could share his experiance.
Many thanks for the answer!

I have gmail as my home page. When I have signed into g-mail, and open additional windows, how can I stop the additional windows to go straight into my inbox. Thanks!

I have been using IE until recently, and when i used to open an additional window on IE, it used to open only the home page, and not go right into my inbox. I want to have the same feature on firefox.
Thanks in advance for your help!

There has been a security update of the Flash Player and the current version is 10.1 r85 , so you are two versions behind (previous was 10.1 r82).

Cannot open additional windows until others are closed.

I am receiving this message when trying to open a link in Facebook. Usually when I would get this, I would just reboot the phone and then it would work. I have rebooted twice and cleared my cache and am still getting this message. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks

Hello frog0568,
I’m glad that you asked this question my friend! Oftentimes, when we browse the web, another window opens up. If this is the case then you may have multiple windows open. To close the windows, simply follow the steps below.
Open the web browser > Menu > Windows > Next to each window there is a “X” to close the internet.
Once you have done so then please retest your Facebook link to see if it’s work. Let me know what happens.
Thank you…

Can no longer open additional tabs using Forefox 17.0

I downloaded the update for Firefox 17.0 and installed it with no problems. After completion, I discovered that I could not open additional tabs as with previous versions of Firefox. I tried various methods, including the File pulldown menu, clicking on the tab stop next to an already open website, and using Ctrl+T. Nothing worked. I can open additional windows, but find it much more convenient to use tab stops, and am currently unable to do so using the latest version of Firefox.

Firefox is adding advertising links to certain words on my website cornish-surfing.co.uk, and when I open a new tab an additional window opens with unwanted sites.
1. How can I stop these things from happening?
2. Why is it happening?
These things only happen when I’m using the Firefox browser. I use Sophos antivirus and firewall and the scans indicate my system is clean. So I’m assuming that it’s built into Firefox or there’s a security flaw with Firefox.
Can you let me know which and how I can stop it from happening?
Graham Jappé

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc (certainly nothing that is shipping with a plain official firefox build).
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Windows 7 IE9 will not open up PDF after acrboat reader XI Install

Hello,
We have many users getting this problem. We have Acrobat Standard 9 installed on all of our computers. Some have installed Acrobat reader XI and I am not sure why. I suspect they were prompted somehow.
After the intsall we can no longer open up pdfs within IE9.
I have uninstalled reader XI and did a repair on Standard 9 but it still does not fix the problem.
There error message we are getting is this:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader selected for viewing PDF documents in browsers cannot be found at its installed location; it may habe been moved or deleated. Please reinstall or repair this application. (15:524)
Please help. We can no longer do our banking web sites.
Thank you,

What is the value in your registry hive for the below key?
HKEY_Classes_Root\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
You can reinstall Reader and give ownership to Reader 11 and then check the value for same registry key.
You can also try repair for the application.

Firefox gui element capture plug in keeps causing Firefox to crash and it won't open certain windows. Any idea why?

I disabled extensions per Firefox instructions and discovered that 'firefox gui element capture plug in 1.0' is the one causing my problems. Problems being Firefox either crashes or refuses to open an additional window, and then crashes.

I am not sure why this started happening, however please update to version 32.0.3 when its available.
The places we can troubleshoot is in the Applications menu under preferences.

I have an iMac. , mid 2007. Frequently, when I take an action, the little color wheel starts spinning and goes on for quite awhile. Save a file, close a file, open a file, open a window, it's all random. Somtimes it stalls, sometimes it doesn't. Why?

Consider adding more memory. Be sure you have adequate free space on the hard drive - 15 GBs or 10% of the drive's capacity, whichever is greater. Do not run too many applications concurrently. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on resolving the SBBOD.
Do some maintenance:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

How do I open multiple 'windows' in Entourage?

I am using MS Entourage and would like to be able to open multiple windows within that program. For example, I would like to have both my calendar and address book opened at the same time in different windows. I have looked all over for a way to do this, but I have not had any luck. Any ideas? Please forgive me if this is an easy answer. I am still new to the Mac world, but love it so far. Thank you.

At the Entourage menu bar, go to File > New and select Open New Main Window. You can open an additional two main windows and select the Address Book for one and the Calendar for the other.
To navigate to a different window, at the menu bar go to Window and select Mail, Address Book or Calendar.
The Mail.app does not incorporate all 3 applications. You can have the Mail.app, Address Book and iCal launched and running and select between each from the Dock along with other ways to do so. The Mail.app also includes an Address Book panel to view all Address Book contacts or to select from when addressing a message. You can't add to, delete or edit contacts from the Mail.app Address Book panel.

How to stop Finder from opening new windows to view contents of folders.

I have 2 folders on my desktop, called "Home" and "Work." Both are aliases to files stored in user/documents on my HD. Both contain many folders within folders within folders and, ultimately, documents. When I double click on the "Home" desktop alias, a finder window opens showing contents. When I click on any folder within that window, it does what I want it to...switches to the contents of that folder (within same window, without opening a new one.) This works for everything in that folder.
When I double click on a folder within the "Work" folder, however, it opens a new window at every level. By the time I get to the document I want, I may have 5 or 6 windows open, which I then have to manually close.
I have gone into Finder/Preferences/General and the "Always open new window" box is NOT checked. Any one know why it would still be doing this? (No new applications are opening when I click on the folders, just a new finder window.) And why would it do it for one desktop folder and not the other?
I looked through discussions till my head spun and only saw the Finder/Preferences fix, so I'm hoping there's another fix, like a preference file somewhere that I just need to trash. Any help would be appreciated.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I don't know if this is the problem, but for windows in "Icon" or "List" view that are set so that the "Toolbar" is not showing, a folder opened within that window will tend to open a new window. This is just a difference in behaviour between the two modes. To show / hide the toolbar, try clicking the elongated button in the upper right corner, in the "titlebar" of the window, or choose "Show Toolbar" / "Hide Toolbar" from the "View" menu.
Additionally, a workaround might be to switch to "Column" view ("View" > "as Columns" ⌘3), since opening a folder within a window in "Column" view does not appear to spawn a new window, even with the "Toolbar" hidden. Another option might be to hold down the "option" key while opening the folder - this causes the previous window to close as the new window is opened.

PDF Forms not opening in Windows 7 Pro and 8

I am having problems with editable PDFs I have created using Mac Acrobat Pro 10.1.13 not opening with editable features. These PDFs open correctly when opened with Mac OSX and Windows 7 home version. They do not work correctly when opened in Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8. I get the following error message in Windows 7 Pro. Any ideas how I can make these forms work on all operating systems will be helpful. This document enabled features in Adobe Reader. The document has changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.

By extended reader rights do you mean Save As > Reader Exteded PDF > Enable Additional Features YES I did this Here is a link to some PDFs with this problem http://www.wkrause.com/new/

Safari can't open a window

Hi,
I've updated iTunes, Safari and other updates, and than used the computer to set up iPad.
Ever since, Safari won't open a window.
I've tried removing any CT (toolbars) as indicated in other post but there aren't any. I've also tried configurating and additional user, but couldn't open Safari in that user either.
Any ideas?
(don't know much about computers so any help would be good).
Many thanks,
Shai

Hello,
I've also tried configurating and additional user, but couldn't open Safari in that user either.
That's not good. Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair the startup disk.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

Opening Multiple Windows

How are is one supposed to organize events into albums when you cannot see both at the same time? Which photos have been put in the albums? Which have not? Smart Albums is not really the answer as I mix and match. If you have only five pictures or so this would not be an issue. With hundreds it is a little more challenging. Dumping everything from events into an album when you are not sure which ones have already been included seems live overkill. I can open an additional window in Events (Events>Open Event in Separate Window), though only one additional event can be opened at a time. Switching to Albums closes this additional window. Am I missing something?

You can create a smart album that contains all photos not in any album. That will let you identify that category. You can then go from the smart album into new or existing albums.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
