Multiple window - close one closes all windows

FF 4.0
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
When opening several windows (via file/New window or by following a link and Open in new window=), when closing the last opened window, it closes fine, but the dialog asking if I want to close the main window (the one warning that there are several tabs opened) is displayed.
in FF3, each window was independent from the others

I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly?

How to edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window

I edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window at the same time. (It is very handy way of editing especially in huge orchestra projects.)
I can see midi contents of all selected regions in Piano Roll at the same time.
1) But how to choose certain one region of many selected to edit it?
2) And how to edit all at once?
Hope the questions are clear enough.
Thanks.

First of all, the Piano Roll has two mechansim, of what it is displaying.
Selected Track: This displays all the Regions that you select in the Tracks Window
One Track: Selecting one Region in the Track Area displays all the Regions of tha tTrack in the Piano Roll. If you select multiple Regions in the Tracks Window, then the last selected Regions counts.
Whatever Regions are now displayed in the Piano Roll Editor can be edited. Select the MIDI Events and apply the command.
You can also apply edits directly to the selected Regions in the Tracks Window.
I explain all those little details in my graphically enhanced manuals ("Logic Pro X - How it Works")
One thing to be clear about:
Tracks Window: Any edit is applied to the selected Regions
Piano Roll Editor: Ay edit is applied to the selected Events
Hope that helps

I can not print multiple pictures on one page pse13 windows 8

I have tried to print multiple pictures on one sheet and the program will not send it to the printer. I went into picture package and got the 2 pics to show on one page and chose my printer, but when I hit print the screen goes back to the print page with only one pic on the page

I don’t think it’s my printer I printed many multiple pictures with my old photoshop 5 with no prblems. the only reason I bought photoshop 13 was because 5 would not work on my new computer with windows 8.

Why when I have 3 tabs open and when I close one tab, all tabs shut down and crashes? The it asks me to restore or not? How do I fix this issue?

I open the firefox and open 3 tabs, when i close 1 tab, all will close down and crashes then it tells me to restart or close. It was never like this!!! How do I fix this problem.

Try to disable Norton addons in Firefox. They will be releasing an update at the end of the month to fix these crashes.

Safari 5.1.2 opens two of every window when selecting "Reopen all windows from last session" since the latest update.

Since the latest Saffari update to 5.1.2, every time I close Safari and reopen, and select "Reopen all windows from last session," two of every window opens. I must go through a long list under the 'Window' menu and select one of eac pair and close them. What a hassle.
Has anyone experienced this as well, and is there a fix?

is there a fix?

ITunes on multiple profiles on one computer using Windows 7

I have the latest version of iTunes installed on my computer which uses Windows 7. The initial profile that was made was the profile named Linda. My daughter wanted to create her own profile on the computer named Brie. When we go under Brie's profile and attempt to open iTunes we get the message "The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions."
I receive the above message even when I go to Start>Programs>iTunes.exe. When I look at where is it trying to go, it is trying to open iTunes in C:\>Users>Linda>Music>iTunes.
Why is it trying to open iTunes in there? On our old computer, each profile had their own iTunes with own library. Why will it not allow a totally separate iTunes on Brie's profile? Is it possible that iTunes was installed in the incorrect place? Should the actual program be in a shared folder somewhere or something?
All help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

As a side note, my problem seems to be the opposite of most others. I do NOT want to share a library between two profiles, but rather give them each their own and be able to open iTunes on both profiles (NOT at the same time obviously) with their own music in each.

When I close a window, why do they all close?

I have multiple FF windows open, and when I close one, they all close and FF shuts down.

On the about:newtab page in the upper right hand corner, is there an option to change the blank page to Classic or another option?
Does this happen in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

I would like to close one tab at a time rather than all tabs at once. How do I change this? Right now i am given only one choice "close"

I have installed Mazilla firefox. Since then I am having to close all open tabs at once, thereby having to start over at the website. I would like to have the option to close one or all tabs when I elect to close.

Hello,
To close all tabs only close Firefox, do this by clicking on the '''X '''at the top right of the window, to close one tab just click on the '''x''' at the tab.

How to make finder to open all windows in one?

Hi,
As you all know, in the Finder, if you open any folder, it opens that folder in a new finder window. I'm very tidy and have many files in many others in many others in many others,,, at the end of the day, I'm stuck with like 10 finder windows to close one by one. I wanted to know how I could set my finder to open everything in the same window, please advise.
Thank you so much in advance.

You can also use the Option key productively.
While in Finder...
If you hold the Option key down while clicking the Close button for a Finder window (such as a folder's window), all Finder windows will be closed. This works within most programs, too.
If you hold down the Option key while opening a folder that's nested inside another folder, the enclosing folder will be closed as the one clicked on is opened. This is a handy way to keep things neat as you step down into a hierarchical nest of folders.
If you are in Program A and hold down the Option key while clicking in a window for Program B, you will switch to Program B and all windows for Program A will be hidden. This works with Finder, too, whether Finder is Program A or Program B in that sequence.
If you hold down Option-Command while clicking in the window of another program, all windows for all other running programs will be closed. Exception - although this will also close Finder windows, it won't blank the Desktop.

View Options defaults to "All Windows"

I've seen other unresolved posts. Maybe this has been corrected in newer versions of OS X. Is there a plist setting that will configure the "View Options" to default to "This window only", instead of "All Windows"? I don't know how many times I've changed the size of my icons in a folder, only to find that I've changed them everywhere. Any one know a way around this?
Thanks,
Alfredo

What we were referring to is what happens when you create a new folder and bring up View Options: at the top the default that is automatically checked is All Windows. If you unthinkingly set various view options for that folder, without checking the This Window Only, then those options will be applied to all new folders, and all folders that do not already have settings of their own. However, folders that you have at some point selected and checked the This Window option, then set custom view options for it, will be unaffected.
I suspect the problem that you are running into is that folders you have previously worked with will not be changed. Try this:
1. Create a new folder, bring up View Options, leave the All Windows checked
2. Run through List view and Icon view and make some settings
3. Leave the View options window open and then start opening some folders that you are unlikely to have ever opened before
4. Those that you haven't worked with should show the All Windows box checked, and display your new settings when you change to the various views
5. Windows you have set before will have the This Window Only box checked, and display whatever options you previously set for them
While this can all be confusing, and frustrating, it works for people who use different options in different folders for different purposes. If you could inadvertantly wipe out all the choices you had made for special purposes with one forgetful moment people would be even more distraught than they are now.
To accomplish what you want leave the settings you want check for All in a new folder. Every time you open a folder that isn't that way, and it has This Window checked, you'll need to change it to your preference. Eventually all the folders you use will be what you want, and all new folders will inherit the All Window settings you have chosen.

App expose - only show windows in one desktop?

Just curious if anyone has found a way to get app expose to only show windows in the current desktop in Lion.
In SL if you input the following terminal command then when you activated app expose it would only show you windows for that app in the current space instead of all open windows in all spaces.
defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces -bool FALSE
Mission Control has replaced all window expose and is currently the only way to see everything that is going on within a single desktop (with the exception of minimized windows). But unlike All window expose, with mission control you can't easily see individual windows of a single app. Only App expose now provides this function. If I have 6 pdfs open on one desktop and another 6 pdfs open in another desktop (and presumably since I'm using 2 desktops I'm using these pdfs for different purposes) if I want to quickly switch to one of them using some form of expose it is really easy to accidentally switch to the other desktop (which I find very jarring and disruptive to my workflow).
Please note I am not trying to bash Mission Control. I actually don't mind it. I was just curious if anyone had found a similar terminal command or hack that restored the functionality of restricting app expose to a single space in Lion.
Thanks in advance!

Just chiming in to say I'd like to see a fix for this too. I put different windows onto different desktops because they're part of a completely separate work flow; when I use Application Exposé, I don't want to see windows from a different task entirely.

Docking all windows/panels in DWCS3 MAC OS X?

Howdy,
I'm sure the answer to this is no, but I just want 100%
clarification :)
I have a copy of Dreamweaver CS3 I bought for the Mac OS X,
but I also have it on Windows (I'm switching from Windows to Mac),
and I was wondering if there is a way to dock all windows/panels
together in the OS X version like the Windows version?
Let me explain for those who haven;t a clue what I am on
about! In the Windows version (and like all windows apps) DW is
basically all stored in one window, and all the panels are arranged
inside this one window how you want! But the outer window is like
the container, and minimising it, minimises all of the DW panels.
Now in the MAC OS X version, the toolbars/panels etc are all
seperate to the main document window. So when I open a plain new
doc for exmaple, that can be minimised on its own, but all the DW
toolbars stay on my desktop? Whats the point n that? I can't use
the damn toolbars on my desktop!
Can I contain all these windows/panels in one container like
the windows version? So minimising the doc windows minimises the
lot? I'm SURE you could do this on DW 8 on OS X... but I could be
wrong?
OS X Version doesnt even have the "Coder" and "Designer"
workspace layouts, I have to maunally arrange it to mimic the coder
workspace from windows... quite annoying?
I suppose for a avid MACer this is the way mac works with
windows, and I am just so use to MS Windows that it will take some
getting use to, and in a few months I will probably say the Windows
way is crap, but at the moment I don't and want to know if I can
change it?
Anyone have any ideas?
ta
Steve M

I got rid of my last Mac a few years back, but I thought that
once DW
lost focus, the panels were not in view. If not, press F4.

My guess is that you are wrong, but I might be wrong, too.

You can save layouts, though.

Just wait until you have permission problems. I hope it's
less of a
nightmare for you than it was for me. There are some things I
love
about Mac, but overall, I'll take something I can fix myself.

More than one Partition for Windows?

Hi all,
New to Mac:-)
Bought a MacBook Pro 13".
Now I want to install Win7 with Boot Camp.
On my PC I had several partitions like one For the Windows itself, one for all music files, one for fotos, another for all datas.
Is it possible to have several partitions for Win7 likewise and how can it be done?
Tks for answer

No. There are 4 partitions with Master Boot Record, but Mac OS X has two support partitions of its own, for a total of 3.
You can run Windows only on the internal drive and do what you want, and run Mac OS from an external drive (USB or Firewire).
Boot Camp is a limited environment in supporting Windows and allowing Windows to be installed on a system drive that actually uses GPT instead of MBR.

I pressed Windows-M to minimize all screens, then Firefox 6.0.1 (Win XP VM) started to open large number ( 70 in a few seconds) of new Firefox windows (stopped only when I killed the Firefox process with Task Manager). Firefox had no focus at that time.

Windows XP 64-bits Virtual Machine, ServicePack 2, 4MB of RAM, dual processor running on a Windows 7 64-bits host machine, ServicePack 1, 8MB, 8-core processor.
I have worked with that for half a year, no particular issues.
I was working in other program in my VM (so Firefox had no focus) , then wanted to view my VM desktop, so I pressed Windows-M to minimize all windows in my VM. Exactly at that time Firefox 6.0 started to issue new empty Firefox windows, at a pace of about 4 or 5 per second. So I killed the firefox.exe process in my TaskManager to prevent my machine of running out of memory. Then I started Firefox again, without further issues so far.

I'm a Chrome user by choice. I use Firefox for two reasons only:
1) Speedbit video downloader
2) A second browser to handle secondary Google and Facebook sign-ins.
If I remove Speedbit, I lose 50% of my reason to use your browser at all.
Speedbit and Firefox worked together just fine before version 19.
PLEASE PROVIDE A PATCH. DON'T BLAME SPEEDBIT.
Thank you.
