Paths won't close!

I'm just about ready to punch the portion of the screen
displaying the pen tool. Having used it in Photoshop for so long, I
imagine it would function similarly in Flash. All I want to do is
draw a closed path with five anchor points. Simple, eh? Well, no.
Despite the fact that the appropriate "O" symbol appears when I
attempt to close the path by looping it back to the first anchor
point, the path steadfastly refuses to close. What's more, several
more anchor points appear on the path for god-knows-what reason.
Gah! What causing this?
*catches breath* Oh, and this is my first post. Hi. *waves
sheepishly*

Yes, I do. That doesn't seem to help. The infuriating thing
is that sometimes the paths DO close, even with a single click on
the first anchor point, sometimes they don't. I've tried dozens of
times and I'm getting random results from doing the
exact same thing over and over again!

Mail won't close after security update

I just installed the recent security update (running 10.4.8) and now Mail won't close on either my Dual g% tower or on my iBook. In fact, both computers were unable to reboot after the install because the mail program needed to be force quit.
This was never a problem prior to the install of the security update.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of the problem already being there, or not having installed the update properly, or ignoring Apple’s "Important: Please read before installing" warnings, etc., rather than being caused by the update itself. In order to ensure that the update is installed properly, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
The above won’t solve the problem, but will allow us to at least troubleshoot it properly. Post back with your observations when done.
How many accounts do you have and what type are they (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer. What do you see there when Mail refuses to quit? Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it’s doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Do you have any Mail plug-ins or any system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

Pop up box in yahoo mail won't close, asks "do you use the yahoo! toolbar on multiple computers?" has option buttons but no response when clicking on anything, pop up box just sits there in the way

whenever I open my yahoo mail when using Firefox, a pop up box appears on the upper left side of the screen, it asks the question "do you use the yahoo! toolbar on multiple computers?" and gives click boxes for "Save to my yahoo ID" and "No thanks, just save to this computer". I get no response to clicking on either box, nor will the pop up close if I click on the "X" in the upper right corner of this pop up. It won't close out and it sits right over the top of the email messages in my inbox. All else seems to work fine, but can't get rid of this pop up box....very annoying.

go mail.yahoo.com as the login entrance for yahoo mail.

VI front panel won't close when it's done executing, when this vi was called by reference.

I've created a simple vi set to demonstrate the issue I'm having. I'm dynamically launching sub vi's from a main application. Simply put the main application is my test exec and the subvi's I'm calling dynamically are different tests. In the example I'm posting here the test vi is called Electrical Test 1.vi. I've configured this Electrical Test 1.vi to show front panel when called and close afterwards if originally closed. Problem is it won't close the front.
Other things to keep in mind
I want to be able to launch the test vi and not wait till it's done.
I'm using LabVIEW 2012 SP1.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Basically the close after call only matters if the VI is called as a subVI (just like if you open a VI yourself and run it, it doesn't close when it is done). The two ways around this are to either have your top lvl app close the VI when it is done, this is explained here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/987B2026B41BD39786256CF800032E8C
or to have your VI close itself when it is done. Use a This VI reference and the Front Panel:Close invoke node.
Hope this helps.

My old computer died so I am installing my Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on my new laptop with 8 gb Ram, 1 tb storage and Windows 8.1. When I click on the icon to open it it can take up to 5-6 minutes to open and if it does, when I try to close it, it won't close. I just get programs fails to respond. Can any body help me?

What video card is your Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit) computer using? NVIDIA GeForce or other?
Please check the Device Manager/Display Adapters to confirm the video card/graphics card and how many cards.
Is the card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Are you working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? And, do you have QuickTime (latest version) installed on
the computer with Premiere Elements?
Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Please consider the above and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

Tabs won't close,I can open a new one, mouse works on every thing else. ff 36.0 winXP

When I click on a tab to close it I can see the red X press down but it won't close. I can open a new tab and I can click from tab to tab and the windows change. My mouse is working on every thing else, just can't close any tabs. There are six tabs open. This has been an ongoing.problem that seems to be getting more frequent. I usually do a restart and the problem goes away, but only for a short time. I don't
know where to start to fix it. I did notice the automatic updates in windows is turned off. Could that be part of the problem? Should it be turned on? I'm using Windows XP Professional version 5.1.2600 service pack 3. Firefox version 36, just refreshed. Any suggestions?

I have a problem closing tabs in Firefox v3.6.13. The first tab on the left hand side (ie the page that opens when I launch Firefox) won't close when I click on the red x.

I can't close the left hand tab except by exiting firefox. When i launch firefox the original tab stays open when I click on the red x, even if I have other tabs open.
i can alter the website displayed on the left hand tab but it still won't close and leave other more recent tabs open.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

The settings box is always in the middle of my screen when using Flash Player , Won't close?

The settings box is always in the middle of my screen when using Flash Player , Won't close ?

See:How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?
It should work ok after that.

Hidden tab won't close, constantly loading.

There's a tab on my Firefox that doesn't show on the window. It seems to be a tab that was previously open, that I thought I'd closed. While it doesn't show on the window, the tab preview when I mouse over it in the windows taskbar shows that the tab is still open. When I click the x in the preview, the tab won't close. Also on mousing over the tab, it shows that the page is blank, but it seems as though it is loading something. It may or may not be causing my computer to run slower than usual, but I can't be sure. Either way, it's annoying and the only way I can get rid of it is by restarting my browser, but even then after using the browser for a while another tab like that shows up and I run the same problem. How do I close a tab like this?
Extra notes:
The tab is not open from the start. It is not a homepage, as my homepage is set to about:blank, and opening a homepage upon starting my browser is disabled.
The tab is not visible on the Firefox window. It is only visible on the windows preview when mousing over the Firefox application in the windows taskbar.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading

Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading -- this means I can't get to the store

i have resolved the issue.
I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could.

Several tabs in a window won't close.

I've tried command-W, clicking on the X, and using the menu to close them, and two of my open tabs won't close at all.

Try temporarily disabling JavaScript. In the Tools menu select Option, then go to the Content panel in the Options window and de-select the setting "Enable JavaScript". Close the Options window and then try to close the tab. You can then re-enable JavaScript.

Confirm navigation on chrome won't close

so the confirm navigation box on google chrome will not close, and I've tried just about everything
I've tried to use esc, turning of wifi, quickly hitting the x out button.
how can i close it? because if it won't close then it won't let me turn my laptop off. btw i have a macbook air.

to anyone still having this issue on their mac (mine's a pro 13") instead of using esc key, turning off wifi and stuff i've found another way that worked for me since none of the others did.
hover to the top and go to battery percentage. right click on it and it will tell you the apps that are using the most energy right now, i.e google chrome. click on google chrome and it will open a new window showing energy usage. make sure google chrome is selected, and then click the close button along the top (big cross thing). then when it asks you if you want to quit chrome, click FORCE QUIT and it should shut all windows. you'll lose all your tabs, but it saves having to do any installation or waiting for battery life to run out.
good luck!

Pages is frozen and won't close

I'm unable to close pages, and it is completely frozen up. I've tried command+Q and shutting off the computer, but neither works. I can't shut off the computer because pages won't close. Is there something else I can try, or should I just bring my laptop in?

Try Force Quit (under the  menu) or Option Command Escape.

Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent won't close so I can't upgrade software. Any advice?

Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent won't close when trying to install software update. How do I do this?

A message to quit applications occurs in Office for Mac
If you see a message to "quit the following applications" while installing an update for Microsoft Office for Mac (See image) , click Continue, and then quit the applications listed in the message. To quit an application, click its name on the Apple menu bar, and then click Quit <application name> or press COMMAND Q. You can also quit an application if it has an icon in the Dock by pressing the CONTROL key, clicking the icon, and then clicking Quit.
You'll also have to turn off Sync Services in Outlook. To do this, start Outlook, click Outlook > Preferences, and then choose Sync Services under Other. Uncheck all boxes and then quit Outlook.
You should now be able to install the update for Office.
NOTE The message to quit applications may also appear if you're installing Microsoft Office for Mac. Follow the same steps to quit the applications before you install Office.

Tabs are unresponsive, won't close when x is clicked, and there is NO "New Tab" + anywhere on the toolbar.

I cannot open new tabs manually. There is no + to do it with. When Mozilla opened Troubleshooting info in new tabs, I can't close them by clicking the x. They won't close. I tried restarting Firefox, then I restarted the entire computer, but it won't correct itself.

move new tab [+] on the tabs bar to the right side of Navigation bar for the white on black new tab indicator. That is item #5 in the following
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.
