Reopened last closed window is greyed out

Hi there,
I recently bought my first Apple notebook - a 15 inch Macbook Pro running OS-X Mavericks. I am running Safari 7.0.2 and am new to Safari. I find that the "Reopened Last Closed Window" option is greyed out. I have searched online communities and deleted plists and rebooted my machine; nothing gives unfortunately.
Please could you help?
Thanks,
Vinayak

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

I have lost my last window of 61 tabs. Recently Closed Windows is greyed out. How do I restore my window?

RECENTLY CLOSED TABS doesn't offer what I need. And RECENTLY CLOSED WINDOWS is greyed out. Can't I roll back my Firefox to 2 days ago and recover my missing window with 61 tabs?

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Your System Details list shows that you have preferences that were used in previous Firefox versions and that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can cleanup the prefs to have a fresh start and delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Safari reopening last closed window

I have a MacBookPro running OS X 10.7.1, Safari Ver 5.1. Since upgrading to Lion, Safari has developed this annoying problem.
When I close safari, no matter what page I was browsing will reopen when I go back into Safari. If I don't go back to home or Top Sites I get the last page browsed opening in a new session of Safari.
I have looked in the preferences, I have edited my preferences to load a blank page on startup, looked in settings and I cannot find a setting that will stop the last viewed page from opening.
Anybody else experiencing this problem.

The free App Tinker tool can stop the Resume process on apps and works particularly well on Safari.
Download it here:
http://www.bresink.com/osx/0TinkerTool/download.php5
Once you get it open the program and click on the Resume icon on the top menu. You will see a list of all your apps and have a choice to "use default" or "yes" or "no." Choose "no" and Safari will no longer open the last window.
Note: You have to log out for the change to take effect.
I have chosen "no" for most of my apps as I find this feature annoying rather than helpful, especially in Pages and Safari.

IChat starts but nothing else happens, no windows just greyed out menus

iChat starts but nothing else happens, no windows just greyed out menus
Dunno what it is, i would live it on all night and the next morning i see beach balls and have to force quit it, then when i start it nothing happens, i just see the menus on top, i am forced to restart the computer just to get it running again.
Any advise appreciated.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
iChat does not close when you use the red button to close windows as some other apps do.
This means iChat can be running but not showing any windows (including any Buddy Lists).
If you set up iChat it will have at least one Buddy List.
Open iChat and go to the Window menu
In here you will see any Buddy List that is Logged in.
Selecting that item or using the keystrokes next to it will show you the Buddy List.
In Tiger/iChat 3 Apple Key and 1 would open the AIM Buddy List, Apple + 2 the Bonjour List (If active) and Apple + 3 any Jabber Buddy list.
As Leopard allows you to log several Screen names in to AIM or Jabber the list can be as mixed up as you want (or Created)
The Order can be changed in iChat menu > Preference > Accounts by dragging the list into the order you want.

Windows 7 Greyed Out/Missing Documents

Folder redirection and offline files?

Wehave been having an issue where users on Windows 7 computers will suddenly have their desktop icons become greyed out and have an "X" appear in the lower right-hand corner of each one. Their documents also disappear from their "My Documents" folder.Even when using theFile Explorer to drive directly to the affect user's files on the file server from the affected user login and computer shows that they have all disappeared. With-in ten minutes or a restart, the documents reappear and everything is fine again.This issue appears to strike at random with no computers being invulnerable to it (Even here in the IT department the issue has happened a couple of times).Since all of our users have redirected desktop and document folders, I assume this has something to do with the computer losing its connection to the file server where the...

Apps in iTunes window are greyed out

When I sync my iPhone 4S, and I select my particular phone in iTunes, then open the Apps window, my apps are greyed out and I can't manage them, e.g. adding, deleting, repaging, etc. I used to be able to do it with ease. And then it stopped. Could it have anything to with the Cloud? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Mike,
According to your description, the error occurred when accessing app in SharePoint Store.
Did this issue occur in other sites?
I recommend to configure the farm to allow internet-facing end points, and turning on the Internet-facing endpoints feature in Central Administration will show the apps in the SharePoint Store.
More information are provided in the link below:

The link "go to download page" in the downloads window is greyed out, how do I enable it?

When I open the Firefox downloads window and select a file I had previously downloaded and right click on it, the "Go To Download Page" selection is greyed out, it wont let me click on it.

i downloaded this. when I add it to Firefox is says it's incompatible with Firefox v22. v22 is messing with my "flow". I hate updates that mess with how my stuff was working beforehand.
hmm, wonder can I go back to the previous version of Firefox that WAS working with my "download" button showing on every youtube page i viewed. how does one go back to the previous version of Firefox (better question, what WAS the previous version of Firefox?). I am not liking v22 and have taken it off auto update now.

How to find out the last closed windows?

I closed several ( 5-6) firefox windows when shutting down my computeer, and after re-staring firefox chose to 'restore previous session' (set by default but failed to so automatically this time). Saddly, in my about:config there was the default of opening only 3 windows, which means that all the others windows and tabs are now gone.
My question is: can I fin out in the history, or or in the some firefox log files, the address of the pages that were open in those windows/tabs. A list of all closed tabs and the time they were closed would suffice. The 'recentely closed tabs' options does not appear to contain that information, only the tabs that were closed in the current window.
Details:
OS: Linux Ubuntu 14.04
Firefox 35.0.1
Cheers.

Hi!
Try STAD transaction. Unfortunately it contains a huge amount of data, so it is available only for a few days backwards... Maybe some weeks, but you can't make yearly reports from its data... So it's not useful to see, which program is in use or not...
I planned once to download it weekly, but it was not so important...

Firefox 8 (Windows 7) no longer downloads anything and the download window is greyed out.

The registry is clean. And no big changes have been made.,

Make sure that you do not use Clear History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Finder opens a new window with tabs in the last closed window loaded automatically

As the title says, I've found this happens more than a few times for some change. Maybe every time, I didn't count. Say, I closed a window with 3 tabs opened, then next time when I click finder to open a new window, I will find the 3 tabs loaded in the new window automatically. I am wondering if it is a new feature or bug. If it is not right, would anyone give me some suggestion to correct, if possible? Thanks.

Yup. I think bring convenience or not is supposed to be the fundamental difference bugs and features.
Convenience also comes with users' habit. I am sure I will get used to the new way as time goes by.

"Dual Layer Break Point" drop down window is greyed out

Hi All,
I have a 6.8 GB project ready to be burned to disc. The Build went fine but when I try to format, I chose Format > Disc Volume > Red Laser > Dual > OTP> Dual Layer Break Point > TRack 1 and then all the 10 chapter choices that I have to choose from are grayed out. I can't make a choice to place my break.
I wouldn't think that selecting automatic would work if DVD Studio Pro has grayed out all the choices. Now, I don't know even if I try using the long method would work.
Even still, I would like to know why this happened. This has never happened before over a 3 year period.
I am using Memorex DVD+R DL discs (worked fine in the past).
Any remedies?

Some background -
There has to be a break point where it crosses over from Layer 0 to Layer 1, if you have no Chapter Markers at all (or a limited number of Markers, none of which fall near the point which is a bit more than half the size of the assets you will get an error that a Layer is the wrong size or all markers will be greyed)
What you do is
1.) Set up markers in the areas where your would guesstimate the Layer Break(s) should be
2.) Build the project (but not format)
3.) Format a Disc (in the dialog that comes up, click on advanced tab, then where it says break point, use the pulldown which will have all valid breakpoint markers dark/black, while non-valid Layer Break Markers will be faded) If no marker is black there is no marker in the right place, regardless of you use automatic or not. You will need to insert more markers, and guesstimate again.
4.) If the layer break(s) are not where you would like them (in other words a place where they may be more noticable) use VTS view to re-order then go back to step 1.
When you do enough DLs, you start getting a sense based on the size of tracks where things should land

Watch Window greyed out

Hallo
When running in debug mode I got the breakpoints in the code, everything with the watch window is greyed out, even if I right click on a variable the add to Watch is greyed out.
I've done a Tools ---> Import Export Setting ---> Reset defaults.
Probably must be installed or added or ticked to be enabled?
Regards,
labjac

Hi labjac,
But from the screen shot, it seems that the breakpoint was not hit.
Maybe two screen shots would be better for us to discuss this issue.
I create a Winform app which will call another form in another winform app, if the breakpoint is hit, I could add a value to the Watch window like this screen shot.
I also debug the app, but if the breakpoint is not hit, I would get the same issue as yours, the watch window is greyed out.
So please make sure that the breakpoint is hit before you real view the Watch window. In addition, please open your Breakpoint window under Debug->Windows, maybe the breakpoint is hit in other projects in the same solution.
If still no help, please share me a simple sample with one drive, I will debug it in my side.
Best Regards,
Jack

After installing Flash player updates, Recently Closed Windows in History menu lost

Hi Friends,
This is just an annoying problem, not really serious, I guess. Whenever I download and install Flash Player updates, History > Recently Closed Tabs, and History > Recently Closed Windows, are wiped out.
This is a problem for me, because when I log on to my computer every morning, I use History > Restore Previous Session, to get back all the tabs I had open the night before. And often also Recently closed Windows, if I had a 2nd and/or 3rd Ff window open last night. After I install Flash Player, the previous session becomes the Adobe update site. I think I can avoid losing the previous session, by making sure I open my previous session before I start the download and installation.
(I don't use fully automatic updates for Flash. I have the system alert me when it's ready, and then the next time I log on to the internet, the download popup window appears. I don't know why it waits until the next time I log on, instead of right after I click ok (and also ok on Spybot S&D and WinPatrol alerts). And I know you can't provide support for that part. But just to let you know all the relevant info :-) .)
So normally, if I've done something to lose my previous session (with all my usual tabs) (usually when I'm in a hurry and don't notice that I've opened Ff without restoring previous session) I can still get that session because it shows up in Recently Closed Windows.
But after I install the Flash update, Recently Closed Windows (and Recently closed Tabs) are both wiped out.
I'm hoping someone can sort this out, and I can just change some setting somewhere, to prevent this. Or maybe like the previous session, and remembering to open it, before I start the dl, it might just be a matter or altering my habits. I can't think of any habit changing that would work though. So that's why I'm asking all you wise Ff users :-) Hopefully it's not a bug?
Thank you very much for any insight, comments or suggestions :-D
All best.

hello, this problem happens since the adobe installer triggers the opening of a browser window once the update is finished, which then overwrites the last session...
you could try if adding ''SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1'' to the adobe mms.cfg configuration file addresses that issue, as described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/administration-configure-auto-update-notification.html

QuickTime captions menu greyed out

I created closed captions using MagPIE, and placed the captions in the same file as the base media. I've selected "Show closed captions when available" in Edit/Player Preferences. But the captions do now show up and in View, the menu for Show Closed Captioning is greyed out. What is missing?

Hello there
Export Settings
I used codec settings and export settings you had set in the project you shared for MXF OP1a embedding to closed captioning. Embedding to MXF -- I could see 608 and 708 closed caption in the resulting exported MXF in PPRO CS 7.1. In "Export Settings" via File-> Export-> Media, I also tried other Video Codecs under Video to see if this could make a failure to embed closed captions into MXF -- but I didn't see a problem.
Preferences to Import Closed Captions
Nothing special needs to be done for PPRO to import closed captions embedded in MXF or MOV files, if the caption data is there, and the user has "Include Captions on Import" checked under Preferences-> Media then that should do it.
PPRO Monitor Settings to Display 708 CC
One thing to check, is in the Source and the Program monitors -- see if under the wing menu "Closed Captioning Display" "Settings..." is set to CEA-708 -- if it is set to 608 or to a different service not matching the 708 service your CC data is associated with, then you will not see 708 closed captions in either monitors if this is not set right.
Other OP1a MXF Embedded CC files
You also could post the other two OP1a MXF files that you see are giving you a problem, not showing closed captioning in PPRO CS 7.1, and I can look at them and see what I see.
Thanks, as always, for following up.
