Shut down dialog box constantly pops up

I have a macbook air running Lion that constantly brings up the shut down dialog box. When I click cancel it goes away for a few seconds but then returns. Any one else have this problem or know how to solve it?
Thank you for any help.

I took the macbook to a repair place that was not an apple store but did repairs on macs. They said it was the power button itself actually. They had to replace the keyboard though. It works totally fine now and they guaranteed it for a year. It was a quick repair. SADLY it cost around $400. Interestingly the repair person cautioned me to be careful of heat, to use the machine on solid surfaces and not let it overheat.
Just FYI, when the lap top was BRAND NEW it had a funky keyboard problem, when you hit a button it would do other things.. so they replaced the keyboard for free, it was only a few weeks old then. Now when this problem cropped up I took it back to apple since it had been less than a year since that replacement. They claimed the laptop had water damage based on some kind of funky stupid sticker, the kind they stick in cell phones. There was never any water spills on the laptop. I'm a grown person, if I had spilled something on it I would have suspected that caused the problem Since when did THAT start...seemed really really like scam to me. So...I think I got a lemon from the start. This is second keyboard in less than a year. But, it was really the powerbutton.

When left click drop down arrow and other items, dialog box constantly pops up instead of performing action. how can I turn it off, or must I uninstll mozilla?

When using mozilla for web searches, each time I click to correct a word or grammar a dialog box constantly comes up like a right click box asking if want to copy, cut correct spell etc. when I click to search at the magnifying glass another box keeps coming up. Seems like everything I left click when in mozilla springs up a dialog box. Pretty frustrating and does not happen when I use AOL search without mozilla. The right click box comes up as it should but need to lose this left click box or firefox. I already checked mouse touch pad properties and made sure R click main.

Removing "Shutting down" dialog box in Energy Saver mode?

I've got an iMac using 10.4.11 running as a kiosk to play a DVD in an exhibit we have. Using the energy saver panel I can set it to start up and shut down at appropriate times. But about 5 minutes prior to shutting down there is a dialog box that pops up saying "This computer is scheduled to shut down in X minutes." It has the radio buttons to "shut down now" or "cancel," but is there anyway to remove the warning entirely? Since I've already scheduled it to shut down I don't want it to tell me it's doing what I told it do do and the box covers the screen while it's running.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Patrick

You might be able to schedule an Applescript via iCal to do the shutdown.
There's a possible Applescript listed here:
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/forums/viewthread/3605/#36954
and some advice about using iCal for running scripts here:
http://www.hawkwings.net/2005/12/09/make-an-ical-event-run-an-applescript/
I'm not very familiar with this sort of thing, and I don't know if it would work.

Shut down dialog box

On an intermittent basis (but every day) I am getting the shutdown dialog box appearing accompanied by the voice instruction requesting whether I want to shut down the computer down. Despite selecting cancel each time the box still pops up again. This can go on for several iterations.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Roger

I've never heard of that happening. My best guess would be that the power button is faulty or sticking or something along those lines. If that is the case, you could take it to the Apple Store, but the experience tends to be that they can't recreate any "intermittent" errors, so try to find some way of documenting it if you can.

HT201150 Where is the shut down dialog?

Whit the last update (10.9.2) pushing the power button nothing happen, pushing it for 1.5 second the mac goes on standby. No way to found the shut down dialog, it was just esier before.

Should only sleep if you hold for 1 sec and release
The shutdown dialog should pop up after hoiding for 4 sec (and if you continue to hold with the dialog box active you will force a shut-down (don't do that)

Acrobat 8.1.2 Stops Working When Opening a Drop-Down Dialog Box

Whenever I try to open a drop-down dialog box in Acrobat the application stops working and Vista requests that the application be closed and that I will be notified of a solution when one is available. I've experienced the problem for six months. I must now solve this problem.
I've already tried repairing the Acrobat installation without any improvement. What should I do next?

Thanks, seems to solve some of the problem, perhaps I need to uncheck more in this dialogue box... May be 'a' correct answer but not the complete solution. Anyway if all I need to do is uncheck a choice in a dialogue box then it must be a bug or driver incompatability as there seems to be no reason why I shouldn't be able to use 2D graphics acceleration.
Works if you highlight several PDFs in File Manager and then right click and 'Open with Adobe Acrobat', the error still occurs if I drag these files into an open instance of Acrobat beyond two files. Also seems to be more of a problem if one of the files is a 'colour document ' or 'greyscale document' scanned by Acrobat itself.

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until 10/2014.

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until October 2014. I contacted the IRA account managment company and they sais it's an Apple issue. Any ideas?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

Shut Down issue - box appears and disappears quickly

Grandson downloaded MineCraft on my MAC. I thought I had deleted all of it. Now when I shut down, a box appears for a split second and I think it is asking if I want to abort the download. It comes and goes very quickly. How can I get the shutdown to stop so I click the "abort" tab? Is there someplace else that would show me what this is doing?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Network Access dialog box keeps popping up too quickly to click

Lately, Compressor (or maybe Batch Monitor) has been causing this problem:
While a batch is compressing, a dialog box pops up on the screen for a fraction of a second, way too quickly to read it or click on it. I see "Deny" and "Allow" buttons, so I am guessing it's a dialog box asking about network access.
I found that it pops up at the same time interval I set in Batch Monitor's prefs for updating.
I tried trashing Compressor's prefs and restarting it.
The frustrating thing about this problem is that it interrupts anything else I'm doing. It interrupts typing, or a mouse drag. The only workaround I've found, so far, is to not run Batch Monitor at all.
I'd reinstall, but that'll take days because I have to track down someone in the company who keeps the install media under lock and key. I'm hoping you know of a way to solve this... please? A search of this forum turned up nothing, so far, but I saw a user posted about this problem on another site... and the solution suggested there didn't work for me (not sure it worked for him, either).

I was having the same problem and noticed that while hovering over a menu item, the popping box stopped popping up. I of course couldn't keep my mouse hovering over a menu item forever and do anything else, but luckily I tried selecting "About Compressor" from the menu and that stopped the box from popping up as well and let me go on to other applications. As long as you don't click the About Compressor box off the screen, the popping box problem is solved, at least for me it is working...
I hope this helps you...

How to suppress print dialog box from popping up under a condition

Greetings...
There may be a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, so I'm open to outside-the-box suggestions.
I have a pretty simple page which lists a set of statuses and descriptions of each. The user can edit these status flags and their descriptions on the page as well. When I view the page in "printer friendly" mode, I see a nice simple report of what the statuses are and their descriptions. Everything works great so far.
In our work request system built in ApEx, there's a page where someone can view the details of a work request, including the current status. When someone clicks on the help of that item, what I'd love to do is simple show the "printer friendly" version the status page mentioned above in a pop up window. My problem is that the print dialog box automatically shows up when a page is displayed in "printer friendly" mode and I do not want this to happen in this case.
I see the javascript code in the Printer Friendly page template which causes the print dialog box to show up automatically, but I don't want to remove it in the template just for this one case. This would suppress the print dialog box on all "printer friendly" page views and the users are used to it showing up when they ask to print the page.
I guess I could create a custom request to pass to the master status page which would pretty much do everything that the "printer friendly" mode is doing, but that seems like a lot of work when I'm so close to using something that is built in.
Am I not seeing some simple other way of doing it or perhaps asking too much? Any suggestions?
Shane.

Hi,
I think you have to call the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS and pass NO_DIALOG = 'X'.
Something like:
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    EXPORTING
      no_dialog      = 'X'
    IMPORTING
      out_parameters = ls_params
      valid          = lv_valid
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS         = 1.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS ls_params NO DIALOG.
* Display Table
lr_table->display( ).
add: Spool numbers can be found in TSP01 or in system field SY-SPONO available in the submitting program...
Hope it helps,
Kr,
m.

Awesome3 dialog boxes and pop-ups appearing partly offscreen

Dialog boxes like when opening a specific file in evince (with C-o or file->open) are appearing floating (as they should) but with almost half of the box offscreen.

Same problem here. Also happens to me in wmii. I think if the WM puts the window in floating mode without telling it where to appear somethings will appear wrong.
For me it's the Firefox Upload selection box.
It doesn't happen in ratpoison, but you can tell the floating window is getting moved after it spawns. (ratpoison has editable rules for where to put these windows)

How do I prevent the dialog box from popping up every time I click Clear Private Data?

In v3.6 (and it looks like in v4.0 too), every time one clicks the Clear Private Data Now (using a toolbar button), a dialog box pops up to confirm that I indeed want to clear data and which data. Why?!!!
Why can this be set like it was in previous versions where a person sets which data they want cleared and be done with it? It's annoying. As such, I've used a v3.0.## since this annoying pop-up began in v3.5 or v3.6 or whenever it was.
And please don't ask, if I have it clear on close, why I want clear it during a browsing session. Just know that I do. And the fact that you have for a long time had the feature to clear during a session shows that you or someone thought it good to have this feature--not just when the browser closes.
I'd like to move to the current version, but this is so annoying. I'd move to Chrome, but for a few reasons, I'd prefer to stay with Firefox. For the love of gawd, can you please fix this?
