Minimized Aperture window won't restore by clicking on Dock item

Aperture 3.3.1 OS X 10.7.4
If you minimize an app you can restore the window by single-clicking the icon in the Dock. This works fine for most apps, but not for Aperture. Clicking (or double-clicking) the Dock icon doesn't restore the window. The only way to restore the minimized window is to right-click the icon and select Aperture from the menu, or click the icon so the Aperture menu appears in the menu bar, then select Window->Aperture.
I'm sure it used to work like every other app, but I don't remember when it started misbehaving like this.
Anyone know the cause and a solution?

Thanks guys for confirming that Aperture should behave like any other app.
One thing I didn't mention (because I didn't think it was relevant) is that I have Aperture "pinned" to the Dock (right-click, Options->Keep In Dock).
I've just removed it (Options and uncheck Keep In Dock), restarted Aperture from Finder, the re-checked Keep In Dock, and now it works as expected. Guess it must have been a corrupted Dock icon or something Anyway, it's now working again.

  • Clicking on minimized Firefox window willl not restore window and so the window/tabs cannot be accessed even upon closing, saving, and reopening.

  • Tabbed windows won't close!  Click on close box, stays open! Any solutions?

    Frequently in Safari 3.1.2, when I click on the close tab circle, the tab doesn't close! It may not even close after several tires. Command-w is what I resort to, but it's irritating that mouse clicks don't their biz. After a few tries, it often restores itself, or other tabs work fine.
    Anyone else experience this? It's not a matter of missing the close circle as I can watch the mouse pointer click dead center!

    A follow up on this. I've discovered that the close action turns off entirely! To bring it back on line, I click on a different tabbed window, then return, and the close circle box is active again.
    What gives?
    Can anyone reproduce this? Anyone else experienced it?

  • Messages app won't restore / reappear after closing or minimizing.

    This is a weird problem and I'm not even sure how to describe it so apologies if this is confusing.
    I have a problem with the Messages app on my Mavericks computer. When I first launch the app from the dock, it opens up fine. It will continue to restore just fine for a while, and then it will suddenly stop restoring. By restore, I'm talking about re-opening the app after you've hidden / closed or minimized it using the close or minimize buttons in the top left of the window. The indicator "light" below the app icon in the dock, which indicates that the app is loaded, is illuminated. It won't restore from Launchpad, or through Finder either.
    If I right click on the Messages icon in the dock, I can select to create a New Message, and then the app restores just fine. If I simply click on the Messages icon, nothing happens, but the menu bar does change to Messages. From there, I can select menu -> Window -> Messages and the app will restore. If I receive a new message notification and click on that, the Messages app will restore just fine. It's only when I try to restore it by clicking on the dock icon that it fails to restore.
    I've tried restarting and a full reboot, but I'm out of ideas after that. Any thoughts on where to even start troubleshooting? I've tried a search for the answer, but the context of the problem makes it impossible to filter through the results. Thanks.

  • Windows 7 won't let me click on start orb or within open windows.

    I'm not sure how to accurately describe the symptoms. My system is having a problem where it won't let me click on things or move windows around. I can always move the cursor/arrow around the screen, and I can almost always click on desktop items to open files and programs. The most frequent symptom is that I can't click on the Start button or other items in the quick launch bar or notification area. Sometimes I can't even move the arrow into the bottom portion of the screen with these items. And frequently I can't click on any options within a window or even the shutdown options on the log-in screen. On some occasions, I can't click on the "Next" button on a dialog window that opens when booting from the Windows Repair/Recovery DVD.
    My PC an unmodified HP p6330f:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01969881
    1. Restarting the computer will sometimes fix the problem, but usually only after multiple restarts.
    2. I ran the memtest86+ for 20 passes with no errors
    3. I ran WD's dlgdiag5.exe extended test on the HD with no errors
    4. I reinstalled the whole operating system, and then things seemed to work well for a somewhat longer period only for the problem to return again (maybe after all the latest updates?), then go away, and then come back again.
    5. In an attempt to start completely fresh, I erased my whole drive with zeros and attempted to do a completely clean re-install. The installation boot takes me to the "Install Windows" window (which asks about language and keyboard), but the bar across the top flashed blue/grey, then stayed grey, and I cannot select "Next."

  • IPod classic corrupted and won't restore on Windows

    So I have an 80Gb iPod classic. While I was transferring some files something went wrong with the USB connection and iTunes immediately froze and so did my iPod. So I reconnected my iPod and now it won't let me transfer any files because it keeps getting stuck. Then I tried to restore and got an error that I was unable to restore. I disconnected my iPod and it seems like it restored because the next thing I knew everything has been wiped out. But when I connected it to my PC a message appears that the iPod is corrupted and a windows prompt appears telling me to format the disk. So here's what I've done.
    -formatted the iPod in FAT32
    -connected the iPod, no 'iPod corrupted' message appears.
    -tried to restore, but received the same error message, won't restore
    -when iPod disconnected it went through the same cycle (iPod restoring-then iPod corrupted-iPod needs to be formatted)
    -went to Apple service center, they restored it using a mac and everything went smoothly, song were able to be transferred without a glitch.
    -however will not work on PC needs to be restored again
    can someone help to shed some light? is there something wrong with the hard disk? If yes, then why can it be restored through mac but not windows?
    what can i do to solve this problem?
    thanx

    I was sort of relieved to read that I am not the only one with freezing issues.
    I have been to the apple store twice only to be told there is nothing wrong and of course my warranty has expired !! I have the Model A1136 EMC No. 2065 80gig classic ipod. My dell computer is only 2 weeks old and works fantastic, however, when I open itunes and my ipod and it freezes, so does my pc and I have to do a task manager to get out of itunes and there are times when I can't and have to reboot my pc.
    Well it has been two weeks now of me trying all that I can to fix the issue and only thing I can see so far that it freezes up when its in the analyzing the gapless sound upon adding music from my folders, etc etc. So I tried to "uncheck" everything that had to do with the sound and it worked. Oh and by the way, try setting your ipod on disk mode when you are trying to restore the ipod. It works better that way. Don't know what is going on but I am so angry with myself for being so attached to this ipod There is nothing out there that compares to my ipod and it's amazing the prices of mp3 that even come close to 80 gigs.
    Good luck to all and if I find anything else to share, I certainly will Don't hesitate to email me if someone finds out or has a patch or something to get this thing going properly again bye for now ,,,,,,,,

  • I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format"

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    I've upgraded to FF4 uing windows 7 64-bit - won't open when click on shortcut, have tried to reinstall etc, prev ok with version 3+

    I found something that could be a workaround ... wel at least it's gotten me one step further (windows 7 now recognizes the scanner as the right device (symbol usb sync cradle), but step 8 keeps failing.
    source : http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/wince/5660/Windows-CE-5-or-6-with-Vista-and-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center
    1. Install WMDC 6.
    2. Plus the Windows CE based device.
    3. Close the "Found new hardware" wizard.
    4. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Manage"
    5. Open the Device Manager, then select the Windows CE based device.
    6. Right-click and select "Update driver..."
    7. In the wizard, select "pick from a list..."
    8. In the list, select "Microsoft USB Sync [Microsoft]".
    9. ... nothing else! It works!
    Anything else I could try now?The first time I tried step 8, the microsoft usb sync driver was in the list but I got an error while updating the driver. The second time, it didn't appear on the list anymore. I'm thinking this is more of a 64-bit driver problem.

  • My mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop.  Mac Book Pro

    My Mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop.  My Accounts both show as marked in accounts.

    Try clicking GO in the menu bar/Go to folder in the pane enter  ~/Library/Preferences/com,apple.mail.plist
    Another way is to hold the OPTION key click GO in the menu bar>Library>Preferences, locate the the file com.apple.mail.plist
    Drag this file to the trash (do not empty)
    Quit Mail log out and reboot, see if that helps, if it does not you can drag the file from the trash and and replace it where it was. (it will probably give you a this file already exists, click replace)

  • My iMovie window is stuck behind the Dock and it won't activate when clicked.

    My iMovie window is stuck behind the Dock. When I get it out from behind the Dock and click it, it won't enlarge to standard size and won't activate -- it just disappears behind the Dock again. When I quit iMovie and restart, the same problem remains. I have had my Lion mac for 4 years and this is the first time I have a window that is stuck behind the Dock and won't activate when clicked.

    Hi kiatmin1,
    In order to get the window out from behind the Dock, you may need to hide or move the Dock.  This article describes using the Dock preferences to do this. Though the article says it is for a later version of the Mac OS than the one you have, the process is the same -

  • My iPod generation 6 160gb will not sync. iTunes says corrupt, won't restore just errors out and then loops the same messages.

    My iPod is corrupt according to iTunes, however it won't restore through iTunes either.  I've tried to reformat the drive.  Makes no difference.  I've tried to reformat after choosing disk manager, and again the same result.  The iPod takes forever to work through the reformatting process and I get the same message "Itunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod" and then my pc tells me to format the disk.
    It's so frustrating, is there a fix to this? It seems like the iPod could still function, but I'm missing the way to get out of this loop, please help me!

    Likely a hard drive fault, see the note that i wrote few years ago, hopefully it helps
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    http://www.ifixit.com/
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Ipod Mini won't restore... folder with exclamation point

    A few weeks back my mini suddenly stopped working and showed a folder with an exclamation point. I have tried everything suggested on this site, 5 R's, re-formatting through Windows etc and the closest I can get to restoring is going into disk mode and clicking Restore on the Updater software, but when I do this I get a message saying "Can't mount Ipod" Does anyone know how I can resolve this? I have tried this on 2 different computers, the Ipod shows up in Windows but it won't restore.

    Check this out.
