Make a new Sticky note from an application

All applications have a means of making a new sticky note from the application menu/Services/make a new sticky note, but it does not work on my G5 imac. The application menu blinks but a note is nowhere to be found. I have searched the forums and have tried trashing the stickies preferences but nothing was found or has worked. I am able to create a note from the Stickies application however.
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

All I did was launch Stickies.app, close the default junk while not saving, make a new note from the Edit menu, and quit the application.
I next tried it from Finder and it made a small desktop picture. I quit the app then. (That retains the sticky itself)
Next I launched Safari, highlighting a 3 line sentence out of its first hit, then to Finder ->> Services ->> Make New Sticky Note. Stickies launches with highlighted text in place. I quit to retain sticky.
Because Stickies.app retains (keeps its own data) OR saves (Externally as a file) oddly, I seldom use it. A such a simple .app but awkard to use.

    Hi Kashmore,
    Seems like the downloaded file was corrupt that could be because of either network restriction or the anti virus might have blocked it. My suggestion would be to try and download the product either by turning off the Antivirus or try a different network.

    Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
    Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
    Any help very welcome!

    Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin?  I've pasted it below.
    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

  • Make Firefox open URLs passed from external applications in new tabs

    I upgraded Firefox (Mac) from 3.6.13 to 3.6.14 yesterday.
    Since then Firefox does not respond to URLs passed from external applications, as it has always done.
    The external apps pass the URL, FireFox is brought to the front, but no Tab (or new window) is opened.
    Nothing else has changed. Firefox is selected as my default browser (in Safari Prefs) and there is only one copy of FireFox on my laptop,

    Hi David
    Go to Safari Preferences>General. At the bottom you'll see an option for opening in a tab. Makes sure Tabs are enabled in your Tab panel.

  • How do I keep the sticky notes from shifting their placement as soon as I select File, Print?

    Working with Acrobat Pro 9 and Windows 2007, I frequently use sticky notes to approve multi-page invoices scanned by another location.  On the screen they appear where I put them - but as soon as I click File, Print with the printer "Adobe PDF" and "documents and markups" selected, the ntoes all shift to a static location on each page that overlays the invoice detail.  I've tried multiple settings and defaults to no
    avail.  Any help is much appreciated.

    Either don't rename upon export, or use the (original filename or) image number in the renaming template:
    (see 'File Naming' section of export dialog box)

    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    That's an interesting variation. It's a 1723 error message. (1721 and 1722 are more common.)
    Even though the following user tip is about slightly different errors (the 1721 and 1722), perhaps try it with your one too:

  • Open every window in a new tab, even from another application?

    I've got the extension Glims but even with all those options on, my other applications in Mac OS are still opening a brand new window and moving it too out of position.
    Any way to make every window, no matter what app is opening a window, to place it in another tab?
    I have BetterTouchTool but that's not controlling the window movement as it should be doing.
    I can do this with Google Chrome but I would like to stay with Safari.

  • Restoring sticky 'notes'  from time machine

    I lost the 'notes' in Stickies.
    I went back a month to time machine selected Applications, then Time Machine, the back a month,
    Then I selected restore.......it finished........then I saw a notice on the desk top that 'IT'  was part of OSX and couldn't be modified
    I went back and repeated the process, only this time I double clicked on the Stickies icon thing I might 'see' the content I lost........and then restore; I deism see a different 'page' and tried restoring that........but got the same message ........'IT'  was part of OSX and couldn't be modified
    Hopefully, Thanks

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/StickiesDatabase
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Enter Time Machine and restore the selected item.
    *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.

  • How did I add my new music (not from itunes) on my phone?

    I downloaded some music from another location. It is showing up in my itunes, but when I plug my iphone 5 into the computer, my new music isn't showing up. How do i sync this new music to my phone? This phone has been giving me so many problems and is driving me crazy!!

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • IPhone4 makes strange clicking noise *Not from speakers*

    Hello all,
    Recently my iPhone 4, which is nearly a year old, started making a strange sound. The sound is a single click that comes from INSIDE thephone! (Around the silent switch and volume buttons)
    It happens when:
    I press the standby button (Not every time, after a period of it not clicking)
    I press the home button (Not every time, after a period of it not clicking)
    I press the silent switch (Not every time, after a period of it not clicking)
    When I turn the phone on
    When I reset the phone (clicks twice)
    Randomly when I'm not using it, sometimes a few in succession (while on standby), usually after I have pressed one of the buttons or switch, that i said above, it will click again soon after
    Every time I press the standby button while the phone is off (Very weird)
    I have a short time left on my 1 year warranty and intend to send it for repair, however I don't really know what to say is wrong with it....
    All advice is apreciated!

    Ok, final update for anyone who comes across this thread with the same issue.
    I sent it to the apple for a service who, unexpectedly, repaired it and sent it back the day it arrived!
    It turns out it was a faulty camera, as that got replaced and I have had no problem since.

  • Sticky notes/ access from right click/new on desktop?

    Navigating through Metro and (ugh) typing a search to pull up a new sticky note (being the fastest method) is an awful lot of work to put a new stick note on the desktop.   Having it in the right click/new context menu seems a "no brainer".  
    If this can be added via the registry, please detail.

    Hi,
    Here is a simple way to get it. Add the registry below:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\New
    StickyNote]
    "Icon"="C:\Windows\System32\StikyNot.exe"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\New
    StickyNote\command]
    @="C:\Windows\System32\StikyNot.exe"
    In addition, We recommend you could pin sticky Note to taskbar. Thus we also get it easily.

  • I cannot use service:  make sticky note

    Hi,
    I posted the question below many months ago and had several helpful responses but unfortunately nothing helped. Basically I can set up a new user on my machine (24" iMac OS 10.4.9) and the new user CAN use the service "Make new sticky note". I cannot. Very strange and no one knows why. BTW, the replies indicated it was not only me; others had the same problem. Anyone want to add $.02?
    Posted: Nov 25, 2005 7:05 AM
    I find the ability to copy thiings from an application to a sticky note using the "make new sticky note" command under services very useful but it no longer works (for me) under 10.4.3. In fact, it is no longer even mentioned under Mac help. Does anybody kow what is happening? Thanks,

    Hello, rickw9.
    This post lists troubleshooting steps which are a bit more serious than my first recommendation. Both are in the Automation panel of OnyX.
    The second task I ran was Reset: LaunchServices database. A restart is not required, but save any open work anyway.
    Information from OnyX: Rebuild the LaunchServices database allows you to remove the links between documents and applications and to correct misc problems. Reset the LunchServices database deletes the current database, its preferences, and creates a new database.
    Review the information in the Notes section of this link so you know what to expect. [1] You may be prompted to approve the launch of an application associated with a document the first time you double-click that document. [3] You may find that you will need to recreate associations you have created between specific file types and applications. This is done by using Get Info —> Open with.
    Resetting Launch Services
    I had also tested all five of the Clear Cache options simultaneously, but I have done that before and Make New Sticky Note was not fixed. If you want to try that, do two things: save any open work because a restart is required, and read this link so you know what to expect.

    Thanks for your patience. I am coming at your post sideways because I was not specifically troubleshooting Make New Sticky Note.

  • Make a Note from selection?

    Shift Command Y makes a new Sticky from a text selection.
    How can I make a new Note from a text selection?
    I was unable to find/make an automator action for this.
    The current method of Sicky note -> copy paste into Notes for synching to iOS is somewhat clumsy.
    Any thoughts on this?

    Thanks, TimeRemapper this function still works in AE7, but it generates the same result as selecting all the clips and selecting File>New Comp From Selection. . .
    I tried a set of files with unique names instead of a series of clips with the same clip name followed by a number.  The list of unique named files generated a Comp with the number 2 after each comp name for every new comp created.
