Safari 4 closes all windows when I attempt to only close one..

I just updated to Safari 4 and the new features seem to be working fine except that when I try to close one of a few browser windows Safari closes all the windows I have open. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello girl:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Are you using tabbed browsing?
Are you closing the open window by clicking on the red button? If you are, what you describe is "normal."

Close all windows when right click !

Hi all,
I'm using Mac OS 10.4.10 on the Mac Book Pro. When I right click on any windows, it automatic close all opened windows, and return to the desktop.
How can I fix this problem ?
Thanks

It's probably a bad file in the "Contextual Menu Items" folder in your "Library" folder or the "Library" folder at the top level of the hard drive. Stuffit can do it. They have an update.

How do I open with one click all the windows that I have been minimized? When I right click on the lower bar Firefox icon, I only see the option to close all windows.

It is used to be that I could right click on the Firefox icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and I would then be given the option to open all windows. Now I only see the option to close all windows. The ability to open all windows is very useful. Have you eliminated this capability? It was a very helpful feature because I often have more than 15 windows minimized at one time. On a regular basis I like to open them all and keep only the ones that I still need. I know that it is possible to see the name of each window that is minimized by moving my cursor over the Firefox icon, but this does not provide enough information. So I have to open each window one at a time to look at it and then decide to close it or keep it - this is a frustrating, time-consuming process. Is there another way to open all the minimized windows at the same time, instead of one at a time?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
* Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
* Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

Safari loads multiple windows when launching

When launching Safari, multiple windows load (over 20). I have trashed and reloaded the application from the Apple site and all of my software is up to date. I'm running Lion 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7. I have tried "close all windows," "clear history," "empty cache," and "reset Safari," all to no avail.

From the Safari menu bar, select Safari ▹ Preferences… ▹ General ▹ New windows open with: Empty Page.

Cannot get "Quit and Close All Windows" to work

Each time I open any application on my Mac, it automatically opens any other windows for that app that I had previously left open and unsaved (including ones I had temporarily opened to view a file, which remain titled "Untitled", etc.)....I've tried UN-checking in the General area of System Preferences "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", but this does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I've ALSO tried holding the Option key down while choosing Quit in a given application such that the "Quit" command changes temporarily to "Quite and Close All Windows", but, again, when I re-open the application, it re-opens all the previously left open windows as well...
I've found this behavior in programs such as Preview, Mail, Safari - the list goes on. What gives :-)? Thanks for any help!
Sincerely.

Mac Pro (early 2009), 32 gigs RAM running Lion 10.7.4

Thansk for the quit reply! However, I'm afraid there are still problems:
It the Resume feature.
When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
This is actually the only time my windows DO fully close, when I uncheck the re-open previous apps after doing a cold-restart of my entire Mac (not exactly practical when all I want to do is not have to manually close a zillion windows that have inexplicably re-opened upon re-opening a given application like Mail...
Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
I've tried setting the "no. of recent items" all to 0, and this has no effect. I've also (as I mentioned before) DE-selecting "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", which also has no effect (this is particularly perplexing, since this seems like the most logical way to enable what I'm seeking). I've similarly also tried option-Quitting from within the app to no avail...
Again, you can accomplish this through Finder by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting the folder.
I thought this would be the ultimate solution - just delete the entire "Saved Application State" folder, as you suggest. However, I tried this (temporarily changing it's name to "Saved Application StateOLD"), but when I closed Mail (with opened windows) and then re-opened it, not only did the windows still re-appear, but a NEW "Saved Application State" folder was created, saving presumably the new Resume data for seemingly this and any other apps that I still had open on my computer.
If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Press return.
To turn off Resume globally...
chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Press return
If you're CERTAIN the above won't mess up my computer :-) I guess I'll try this next, either App by App, or Globally. However, please confirm that you're saying that to delete Resume globally, I need to enter the chflags info (above), word-for-word, into Terminal?
Thanks again -

Safari opens multiple windows when I open it

When I open safari it opens multiple windows (260 to be exact) all of the same website and causing a temporary freeze of my computer. Then safari crashes and I have to force quit. Any suggestions? I have already unchecked restore windows in my system preferences.
Thanks

Try to reset safari via the safari menu .. Also if you can quit safari from the safari menu holding down the option key and pick quit and close all windows it might resolve your issue.

Safari Reopen All Windows from last session greyed out

Hi there,
I am using Safari 7.0.6 version. I have a Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.4 I have made sure that under my Safari Preferences/General/ the Close all windows .... is UNCHECKED but I still can't get the "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" to be activated. I can't even do it manually as it is greyed out.
Any suggestions?

Unfortunately no, but there is a free Safari extension that offers this feature.
Glims for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
Once Glims is installed, you can access the settings in Safari > Preferences > Extensions then select the General tab then toggle: Restore Tabs and Launch on.
Other handy features as well.
And you can have Glims check for updates automatically.

Once I close all windows and try to open another I get a message saying"Firefox is still running, you must close all browers before opening a new window. Why is this happening? I have the 3.5.10 Version

I close all Firefox windows. When I try to open another window later I get a message telling me that Firefox is still running and that I need to close all windows or restart my computer. I have this about 3 times a day this past week but prior to that it was maybe every one or 2 weeks. I had the 3.5.10 Version of Firefox, but have just updated to see if this stops this from happening. But what do I do if it doesn't stop it?

There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]

How can I close all windows in Preview?

Hi all
I can't seem to find a way to close all windows in Preview.
Can somebody try this and see if they get the same result I do.
1. Copy an image into the clipboard.
2. Open Preview
3. Hold down command-N for about 20 seconds.
You should end up with dozens of windows with the image that you copied.
Now, try to close them.
I've unchecked 'Restore windows when quitting and re-openng apps' in System Preferences
I've typed in the 'defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows' hack in the terminal window
I've quit Preview with the 'option' button held down and 'Quit and Close All Windows' showing in the menu.
No matter what I do, the windows keep coming back every time I start Preview.
This 'force restore' feature of Lion is starting to get really annoying.

If I hold down the option key and go to Preview->File the Close Window menu item changes to Close all
I answered the OP's question but I see now that the question wasn't what he was really asking.

JFrame close all windows and send to front

2 JFrame questions:
1. Is there a way to keep JFrames above all other windows? For example, if a frame was on the screen and Internet Explorer opened, the frame would stay on top of the Internet Explorer window and would still be on the screen.
2. is there a command to close all JFrames? I have a loop that creates a new frame each time it runs. How can I say close all Boxes when the exit choice is selected?
if (x = 1)
JFrame frame = new JFrame ();
Box.getContentPane ().add (new JLabel (new ImageIcon (Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ().getImage ("Image1.gif")))); Box.setUndecorated (true);
Box.pack (); //prepares the image
Box.setLocation (NextPlace, 0);
NextPlace = NextPlace + 17;
Box.setVisible (true);
}

I figured it out:
System.exit (0);
anyway thanks for your help.
what about the other question?
does anyone know if there is a send to front command
so that the JFrame is above all the other windows?System.exit(0); will close the program. But if you just want to close windows this won't work.
Instead you can use this:
int iterator;
     Frame[] frame = JFrame.getFrames();
          for(iterator = 0; iterator < frame.length; iterator++){
                    frame[iterator].dispose();
This will get all windows and close them.
Also you must add this: import java.awt.Frame;

I don't see "Show all Bookmarks" when I attempt to organize my bookmarks.

The first step to organizing bookmarks is: Click the Bookmarks button and select Show All Bookmarks to open the Library window. I don't see "Show all Bookmarks" when I attempt to organize my bookmarks. My desired end result would be folders followed by individual bookmarks.

@Cuddlebug27
You clearly won't be able to import from something that no longer exists.
Do you perhaps have two computers? If you had Chrome on both and signed in to synchronize them at some point, then you could get your info over from the second device. Otherwise you really can't import from a browser that isn't there.
Also if you usually ran Chrome signed in with an email account, you could try downloading it again and see if your info comes back when you '''Sign in to Chrome''' with that account.

Avoid "close all windows" form

Hello guys,
I'm just working on an add-on where there is the need to create several user defined tables and user defined fields at the beginning.
During the creation, the B1-user gets the form "Database has been modified, close all windows" (no quote)
And if he presses "Yes" to close all windows this could cause errors in the add-on.
So my question is:
Is there any possibility to get this form only ones (right after I finished creating the tables)
Thanks in advance and
Best regards,
Mario

Hi Mario,
Take a look at the progressbar object. While a progressbar is active, a user can't interact with the GUI. I use this method also with my initialisations, works like a charm!
<b>Code (C#):</b>
/* Create a progressbar (10 steps, cancel button disabled) */
ProgressBar pbProgress = m_SBOApplication.StatusBar.CreateProgressBar("Creating user tables", 10, false);
pbProgress.Value = 1;
/* Create a user table and set the progressbar value */
pbProgress.Value = 4;
/* Create another user table and set the progressbar value */
pbProgress.Value = 8;
/* Stopping the progressbar */
pbProgress.Stop();
pbProgress = null; /* <-- IMPORTANT! */
Hope it helps,
Rowdy

My safari opens 3 windows when I click once, how come?

My safari opens 3 windows when I click once, how come?

Thanks...
I looked at the article and looked in about:config and found that the preference was already set to True so I guess that isn't the issue.

How to close child windows when parent window closed in jsp

how to close child windows when parent window closed in jsp
becoz it can't be able to recognise it's parent
with the whole application
plz send me some sample code of it

Hi, I have no idea how to do this is JSP.
However createing a modal window (with javascript) would mean that the user can not use the parent window untill he closes the child window. However not sure if this is what you are searching.
Otherwise you can detect the onClose (I think) and close the window from there.
However both the above are JavaScript and not JSP.
