  • Print queue does not work

    Since the update I did from Tiger to Leopard the Print Queue does not work. When I print a document the printer starts to jump up and down on the Dock for more than 5 minutes. Printing finishes and the icon of the printer is still "dancing" on the Dock. If I try to open Print Queue the window does not open immediately but after a long time and I can't see the printing documents that are waiting in the queue. As a result I can't stop or pause or delete a printing document. The same thing happens if I try to open Print Queue from the Print & Fax Preferences' window. The window opens after a long delay and nothing can't be controlled from this window. I forgot to say that the printer icon remains on the Dock and Force Quit is the only option I have when trying to quit it.
    I have tried Permissions Repair. Nothing happened. I installed the latest driver. The problem is still there. Only after Reseting Printing System the problem is fixed but until the first reboot. If I restart the computer then the problem appears again and the only thing I can do is to Reset again the Printing System. So, if I want to control the printing procedure, I have to Reset Printing System after every restart!!! Any help???
    P.S. I have a Canon iP4500 but I don't think that the printer is the problem because with Tiger I had never face this problem and I have also printed with this printer from a MacBook running Leopard with no problems.

    1) I tried Print Therapy and after I had repaired Permissions the problem was solved (some permission problems were found) until the next restart.
    2) Then I tried to stop and start again the cupsd process and again the problem was solved until the next restart of the computer.
    3) Then I replaced the cupsd.conf file with a new one but the app asked to restart the computer and after this the problem was back.
    4) Print Therapy does not find any problems neither in the properties of the root user nor in the current user or any other group.
    5) Also the verification of the temporary files find no problems.
    In conclusion I think that the problem lies in the cupsd process because when stopped and restarted (we can forget that by Repairing Permissions actually we restart cupsd) I have no problem until the next restart of the computer.

  • I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • "Open containing folder" does not work

    After having hit the button "Open containing folder" in the download manager it seems that the computer is busy, but no window opens up.
    I am using Windows 64 bit (all updates) and Firefox 3.6.12.
    Same issue in uTorrent, so it's maybe Microsofts's fault?

    venemovil, thank you for your reply.
    Well, this behaviour is not restricted to a special folder. Regardless of where I save the file, it does not work. In the General tab I have set Firefox to ask me every time where to save the file. The folders are on different partitions and/or hard drives.
    This occured immediately after installing Windows 7 64 (I have only installed the very most important programs).

  • CS 14.0.0 open dialog box does not work

    A coworker just got a new computer.
    Windows xp pro service pack 1
    cs 14.0.0
    File associations for .eps and .ai are Illustrator cs4.
    Double clicking on a file (.eps .ai) does work
    Dragging a file to illustrator does work
    However...
    File>Open   does not work
    File>Place  does not work
    Deleting the aiprefs file has no effect.
    I also copied my aiprefs file to her computer, also no good.
    Also reinstalled Illustrator, no effect.
    Any ideas?  Maybe something to do with xp, or the lack of service pack updates?

    Updated windows to service pack 3 and it seems to have fixed all.

  • TS1398 On my ipod, it shows that it's connected to a wifi network but when i try to open safari, it does not work

    On the wifi settings it shows that my ipod is connected to a network, but when I try to open safari it does not open it, because it says its not connected to wifi

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Since upgrade to v29, pinned tabs don't appear and sometimes all tabs don't appear and open menu button does not work

    My pinned tabs don't appear at any start and at some starts, I don't see the bookmarks toolbar (I can restore that by removing it from view-toolbars and then reselecting it). when this happens, FF also does not show any tabs and the Menu button does not work.
    I have tried various suggestions found on here like deleting the sessionstore.js and re-installing FF, also tried disabling hardware acceleration in safe mode and still have the same problems.
    Am reluctant to reset FF in case I lose my favourites and Bookmarks, is there anything else I can try?

    Firefox may not have closed properly.<br />
    You can try to update to Firefox 29.0.1 to be released tomorrow (Friday) to see if that helps with this issue.

  • Open Window 'Action' does not work in Explorer

    Mac 10.4.11 G5 GLCS1
    I have created a Open Window action (see attachment) that works fine (if not in very sophisticated way) in Safari and other Mac browsers, it also works fine on PC popular browsers with the exception of Explorer. See for your self at http://www.breweryartists.co.uk/pages/buyaposter3.html
    As Explorer is an important browser on the PC I need help to overcome this problem.

    I'm on CS2 so I cannot tell if something was broken in CS1. This function works fine in CS2.Does it work for you if you create a new blank page with only this action on it?
    Instead of wrangling a lot of bloated javascript, why not craft only what is needed?

  • How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

    We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

    For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
    1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

  • Double clicking to open new tab does not work anymore

    Am I loosing my mind?
    I have been opening tabs like this for years, now it is not working.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks
    Laura

    HI Laura,
    Check Safari Preferences then select Tabs. Make sure your preferences haven't changed for that then select the General tab. Check your tabs prefs there also.
    If nothing is amiss there, go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
    If that doesn't help, from the Safari menu bar click, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    Also, if you have any Safari Extensions installed or Safari third party unsupported add-ons, that could be why you are having problems with your Tabs.
    For troubleshooting third party add-ons, follow the instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
    You can access Safari Extensions in the Safari / Preferences pane.

  • Open browser behavior does not work properly

    I have quite a few websites in subfolders to my root website.  I have tried using the open browser behavior to open a smaller resized html page in two of these subfolders.  When I apply this behavior it causes about 20 windows to open up of this page.
    However, I have another subfolder where the behavivor works perfectly.
    What could be causing this error.  All these websites are created with templates.  Maybe this has something to do with it.
    A quick second question.  I use ico files to have an image in the url.  Everything I have read and the way I used to get this to work was to put these images in the root level.  However, using template, they have to be put in the templates folders to work.  I don't remember have I came to discover this.  Why is this?
    I really would like some input to the open browser behaviror problem.  Any help will be appreciated.
    Joe 

    It's hard to say what the problem could ber without seeing the page in question. Could you post a link to a live page?
    The actual .dwt template (if it's being used correctly) is only used by DW, you do not need to upload it to your actual web server or place your .ico file within it. You may have a link in the head section of your template that is pointing to the .ico file within the wrong folder, and that could be causing the issue.

  • Window.open() & window.close () does not work in Portal application

    Hello All,
    I am trying to open & close a popup window from a weblogic portal. But the following don't seem to work in this environment. As a web application, it works fine.
    <netui:anchor action="DetailedWorkObject" target="<script @lang ='java'> window.open('IndividualWorkObjectDetails.jsp','null','resizable=no, HEIGHT=500,WIDTH=500'); </script>" >
    <netui:parameter name="CLAIM_NBR" value="{container.item.claim_Nbr}" />
    <netui:label value="{container.item.claim_Nbr}"/>
    </netui:anchor></td>
    I am using Weblogic Workshop 8.1 SP3.The above code opens up a new window but it cannot be closed with
    window.close()
    self.close nor this.close().
    I have even tried calling the script function where I write this code but without success.
    Does any one know why is this happenning ? Please tell me what is the work around for this situation.
    Please answer it as soon as possible.

    Not sure if anybiody answered this for you, or if you figured it out, but here you go. In the skins directory, the default skin contains a menu.js file which has the following function at line 232:
    function close(menuItem)
    if (menuItem && !currentMenuItem)
    closeAll(menuItem);
    This function is overriding the inherent javascript close() function. Simply rename this to something else (I renamed it to closeItem) and rename the call to it at line 228 (setTimeout("close(tmpMenuItem)", tryClosePause);), and you're golden.
    The two functions should look like this:
    function tryClose(menuItem)
    if (!currentMenuItem)
    tmpMenuItem = menuItem;
    setTimeout("closeItem(tmpMenuItem)", tryClosePause);
    function closeItem(menuItem)
    if (menuItem && !currentMenuItem)
    closeAll(menuItem);
