OpenOffice to Applications box won't go away

Every time I open OpenOffice the "OpenOffice to Applications" box pops up. I have already put OpenOffice in the Applications folder. How do I get rid of that box?
Also, another OpenOffice icon pops up on the desktop every time I open the program, and I have to manually "Eject" the icon when I'm done with OpenOffice. Is that normal?

It sounds as if you have dragged the install dmg file to applications instead of the application itself.
Solution: Doubleclick on the icon on the desktop and then move OpenOffice to applications.
Hope this helps.
And by the way: When OpenOffice has been properly installed, you can safely drag the dmg file to the trash after you have ejected it.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Help Product Improvement Program dialog box won't go away

When I re-opened the beta version of Fireworks CS4 last
night, there was a dialog box asking me whether or not I wanted to
participate in helping Adobe with product enhancement by submitting
information on my usage of Fireworks, but the bloody thing will not
close. There's options to select yes, no and a few other things,
but whenever I select anything it won't go away. Does anyone else
have this problem? And if so, is Adobe aware of it?

Yes, this problem has been reported already in the CS4 Beta
forum.
Reading
that topic, it appears that only Mac users reported the error
so far, and the only way out was to quit and restart Fireworks. I
think it would be a good idea to post your case there too.

Download Adobe Flash Player box won't go away.

The screen pops up asking to download Adobe Flash Player even though it is already downloaded. After clicking on, do not show this screen again., don't allow, and closing the box. Moving the mouse the screen comes back, won't go away.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?
What pop-ups? Can you post a screenshot?

Grey fill box won't go away

Hi,
I'm having trouble eliminating this grey fill box in the middle of my blank background. It must be from the wire frames that I created for this website, but I can't figure out why it won't go away. If you look on the right side of this screen shot, you'll see that I have all of the wireframe layers hidden. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Gordon

I turned off openGL and tried changing the magnification. Neither seem to make a difference.
I think you're right in that it was part of the background layer. I filled it with white and the grey box dissapeared.
Thank you : )

Network settings drop down box won't go away without force quit.

When I click on network settings for any reason a drop down box appears that says "Your network settings have been changed by another application". The only option given is to click "OK". When I click "OK" the box goes up and immediately comes back down, over and over again. It will not go away until I force-quit system preferences. Any Ideas what's going on?

Hi Clyde,
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

"Highlight Property Value" dialogue box won't go away

It's baaaack...
I had this problem last year and had to install a new OS for it to go away.
Here's video of the problem:

Error in Golive CS2 that will not go away- even trashing all GL prefs and reinstalling program. Box shows up repeatedly with any mouse action to the GL screen. Mac G5 Dual 2.7 OS 10.5.7 (but also did this a year ago with 10.5.2) Have no idea what I can do aside from a new system install.
Occurs on sites I've opened lately (about 5).
Any thoughts?

Here's the response from the excellent PopChar support:
Original solution from them: I do this with GL open.
Please click the font pop-up in the PopChar window (with the question mark in front of the font name) and turn the "As in Document" option off. Let me know if this helps. I'm pretty sure it will.
Seems to solve the problem.
What exactly was triggering the problem in GoLive?
This is hard to tell without knowing what is going on inside GoLive. When "As in Document" is active, PopChar uses a standard technique of Mac OS X to scan the menus of GoLive in order to find a checked font menu item. These techniques are part of the "accessibility" functionality of Mac OS X. Normally, this should work without any extra action of the front application, but when an application implements custom menus that are not built on top of the Mac OS X foundation, the application needs to implement additional functions to support accessibility with the custom menus. I suspect that an error in the handling of menus makes GoLive believe that it should open the "Highlight Propery Value" window when PopChar scans the menus.

Your First iPhone Application Keyboard Won't go Away

I followed the Document "Your First iPhone Application" Right to the letter and no matter how much I start at this code and the linking in the interface builder I can't figure out why the keyboard won't dismiss with the done button
I put a break in the following code and it's not even getting launched when done is pressed
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)theTextField {
if (theTextField == textField) {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
Anyone have any ideas on what I should check? Everything else works in the program.

MyViewController.h file contents
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate> {
UITextField *textField;
UILabel *label;
NSString *string;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *textField;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *string;
- (IBAction)changeGreeting:(id)sender;
@end
I think this is what you are referring to. Also in the Interface builder I have the File's Owner class set to MyViewController
I'm so confused I've felt like I've gone through the booklet 3 times threw trying to figure this out. If I can't get this keyboard to go away there is no way i'm going to be able to build a complex app

"Highlight Property Value" dialogue box won't go away! Help! CS2

Have a page that I'm working on, now every 5 seconds or so a box pops up "Highlight Property Value" asking me to enter name and value of CSS property. No amount of canceling or entering data gets rid of it.
Never have seen this box in all my years of GoLive.
Tried quitting and reopening GL, but still there.
CS2 on Leopard.

Installed as another user-set to admin, but this means I cannot work on any of my existing sites (since they are assigned to the other user- got error message). really hard to troubleshoot this way.
Created a new page and did as many quick tasks I I could think of, but did not get the box.
Logged out and then back in as original user to work on another site and was able to do a few tasks before the box popped up again. Once the box pops up, it's regularly every 5 seconds in all modes source, preview or layout
I had had Leopard installed for a few weeks before this problem started.
Could I have missed purging the offending Adobe file in the last reinstall I did on the main user?
Is there an Apple pref that might have something to do with it?
Prefs were easy, but it seems as though CS3 and CS2 Suites have some common named files in the Library. I am installing from the Suite disks. If I completely remove all the files that the CS2 deinstall instructions say to delete, can I be assured that I won't be deleting a critical CS3 file of the same name?
Would love to disable that highlight function any way possible -I've never used it.

Network Setup trying to modify your system settings...This box won't go away!

OSX Version 10.8.1....Since I have updated, I get "networksetup is trying to modify your system settings. Type your password to allow this" Sometimes there are ten of these boxes on top of each other, so I'm constantly typing in my password or clicking cancel..cancel...cancel... Sometimes it's very difficult to make it go away, and is extremely annoying. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris

Your key chain probably needs some attention, reset it for the same password thru out. Go to utilities, keychain access, and you might be able to find the offender, also read the following.

A blank gray box won't go away...why not? How can I get rid of it?

Every time I open Firefox, a gray box (about 1in x 1in) appears in the near upper left hand corner of my screen. When Firefox is open (and not hidden) the gray square covers any window that it is located over - this will included any non-Firefox applications. Only when Firefox is exited or hid will the gray square disappear. Please help!! I'd like this square to be gone.

This could be a feature of a Firefox add-on. A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If the site works correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To further disable add-ons, you can try here:
Tools > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

Upload Dialog Box Won't Go Away When Uploading Larger Files

I'm uploading a 200 MB Excel file to Power BI and the upload dialog box never goes away, even after the upload is completed. I verified this by checking network activity from Internet Explorer and additionally by opening a new Power BI window and verifying
that the file load took place. I think this is a bug.

Guy, what are the next steps? Should Joey file a bug on Connect?
Thanks!
