Open Buddies window when clicking dock icon, not Messages window

Fantastically annoying that clicking the dock icon for messages does not open the buddy list..this should be configurable. 

Right!?!? Beyond annoying, it's like Apple has gone out of it's way to just make little annoyances.  I wish it would just go back to how iChat was, or like you said, make it configurable.
Also, if you close out of all Messages windows, and then put the computer to sleep (this is something I do quite common), when you return from sleep, Messages has completely quit on its own.  Why....??

  • I lost the function of opening new websites when clicking on icon Firefox on desktop

    Hi!
    Previously, when I had e.g. hotmail open (or any other actual web site), and wanted to check up on other web sites for answering questions, or for checking up informations on other web sites (e.g. Wikipedia, or Library services etc.) I could open these sites by clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Now, I only seem to be able to open one site, no matter how many times I click on Firefox icon; nothing happens. In order to open up other sites, I have to close down the actual open site and click up the wanted site by clicking on the F. icon.
    I would like to be able to open several windows and check upon information from various sources.
    What can I do to get the function back?
    Best regards,
    K. Henriksson

    Can you open a new window using File > New Window or {Ctrl + N} ?
    If not, do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Menu from right clicking dock icon not working

    Now, I don't know if this was present earlier - I am sure it wasn't - but when I right click on iTunes in the dock, in 10.5.3, I get Play, Pause, Shuffle, Next, Previous, Mute, etc..but when I try to click on them, nothing happens.
    Can someone else replicate this?
    (I am using iTunes 7.6.2)

    Ran Repair Permissions. Restarted iTunes. Problem persists.
    I cannot select Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Mute, Shuffle, or Repeat All/Off/One. Everything else I can access when right clicking in the dock.

  • Multiple windows open in safari when click on web site.  Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab

    macbook pro
    osx - mavericks
    multiple windows open in safari when click on web site.  Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab.
    Basically every time i click on website other windows open and get redirected to other websites selling something (same as that mackeeper site which seems to open often)  Really ***** as in just a few minutes on the web I have many windows open and many are the same pages.  Can't make changes in the advanced tab of network as options are greyed out and the + & - symbols do nothing when clicked.  Hope there is an easy answer as surfing net is really sucking right now

    I hope to get some more info on a similar situation.
    I have a new Mac Pro, less than 2 months old. OSX 10.5 updated to 10.5.2. Quicktime updated too. When I use the Desktop and Screen Saver system pref, I can easily select and use one of the Apple supplied desktop pictures as a desktop background.
    But I wish to use a Photo from an iPhoto (iLife 08) folder / album as the desktop background. I can find all the albums, I can see all the icons for the pictures, I can select an iconed pciture and it appears in the top left of the preference pane (showing the effect of "fit to window" or "stretch to fit", etc). But all I get is a pale blue screen (which might be my default desktop colour). I don't get any of my iPhoto album pics to appear as a dektop background.
    There is one minor note on this, I don't keep the pictures in my iPhoto Library, I just reference them, and the originals are on a different internal disk.
    I've tried the suggestions above, trashing finder and desktop plists, killall Finder, etc. restart. Nothing gets it working again. It did work originally, for most of the time I've had the Mac Pro, then I changed the dektop to an Apple supplied picture of Earth.
    This affects both an Admin, and a standard user. The photos (and enclosing folders) are read / writable by the admin user, and readable by the Standard user. Both users can easily access the photos in their iPhoto. They open the original files on the second internal drive, and performing a right click - Show File shows the original file as expected. I've even emptied the iPhoto library completely and rebuilt it, just in case there was an issue here.
    Any ideas ? or anyone else seen this ? I don't really want to start reformatting disks and reinstalling the OS, but any suggestions short of this are extremely welcome.

  • Can't open Mail directly by clicking on icon

    Can't open Mail directly by clicking on icon. I have to unfold menu. Once it opens I have to click on Inbox to se the mail. It is not quick as everything Apple used to be. Was better before. This version is really uncomfortable.

    Try These Possible Solutions:
    1. Restart Firefox and your computer.
    2. Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+T to open a new tab.
    3. Run firefox in safemode (no add-ons) Go to start>all programs>Mozilla Firefox

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

    Try to update to the latest Firefox 17.0.x version.
    *Help > About Firefox
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version
    The Firefox 12.0 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates
    You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U?

    I Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U?  If I click either yes or no, the same box just reopens.  As far as I know, I have not done anything with iTunes U.  The software is up to date and I have also reinstalled itunes.  Any ideas?

    Since this problem, I was able to reinstall again and reboot, and then 'stop' while the library was being opened (that was another window that I could not close, that would come up before the error message, this time I chose to stop it).  Now only music I have purchased appears, none of my other >1,000 albums I manually added via my CD collection.  About 10% are in different music folders (I don't know why they aren't in the same one), but the other 90% are missing.  Any ideas??

  • edited by host HARD DRIVE ICON WILL NOT OPEN ON DESKTOP WHEN CLICK

    my HD will not open on desktop when i click on it. For 4 years i had no problem on this every.
    why does this happen now?
    what is wrong with the icon?
    could my HD start becoming bad?
    what are some signs that i should be "aware of" is this one?

    You might try booting from DVD or another drive and running Disk Utility and Disk Warrior.
    Or Single Users Mode (command s on startup) and follow on-screen instruction command
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    to repair your boot drive
    ... or a Safe Boot with shift key held down.
    Corrupt prefs, directory, could be a number of small or major things.
    But, in any case, make sure you have backups, and a bootable backup clone, maybe an emergency boot drive as well (install OS X on another drive if you don't have one now).

  • Why won't mail open when click on icon?

    why won't my mail open when I click on icon but other users can open theirs?

    Howdy lpedvm23,
    If Safari is not opening any window when you click the icon, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    If Safari can’t open a window - Safari Help
    If you can’t open Safari or a new Safari window, try these suggestions.
    Use the latest version of Safari and OS X. To check for a Safari update, choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. For more information, see Keep your Mac up to date.
    Check your startup disk using Disk Utility.
    If the other suggestions don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling
