Tabbed windows won't close!  Click on close box, stays open! Any solutions?

Frequently in Safari 3.1.2, when I click on the close tab circle, the tab doesn't close! It may not even close after several tires. Command-w is what I resort to, but it's irritating that mouse clicks don't their biz. After a few tries, it often restores itself, or other tabs work fine.
Anyone else experience this? It's not a matter of missing the close circle as I can watch the mouse pointer click dead center!

A follow up on this. I've discovered that the close action turns off entirely! To bring it back on line, I click on a different tabbed window, then return, and the close circle box is active again.
What gives?
Can anyone reproduce this? Anyone else experienced it?

  • My tabs are seperated into groups. Once I accidentaly opened a site in a new window (not a new tab). After that, I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now, I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

    I have my tabs seperated into several groups (for example, bank tabs, music tabs, social life tabs and so on). I do this with the help of the button in the top left corner. While I was surfing the internet, I accidentaly opened a site not in a new tab (as I usually do), but in a new window. The new window was without all the grouped tabs, which I had in the previous Firefox window. And then I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

    Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is
    Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
    Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
    You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
    Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
    1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
    2. Click the Mail Format tab.
    3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
    Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
    Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

  • I installed Windows 7 in my Macbook pro, I can access Windows data in Mac, but I can't copy and delete it. and the same case while i am working in Windows. Could you please guide me if there is any solution, where I could copy/paste/delete my data.

    OS X can natively read NTFS of Windows, but not write to it.
    Windows can't read or write to HFS+ of OSX, and that's a good thing from a security standpoint.
    Ideally if you share files between operating systems you should have a FAT/MSDOS formated USB key or hard drive. (exFAT external drive if any of your files are over 4GB in size) both these formats are universal for OS X or Windows.
    If you install software into Windows and OS X to read each others formats, then you have to pay to update/upgrade it deal with headaches.
    If you swtich between Windows and OS X a lot, don't need full hardware performance for Windows, you may consider installing virtual machine software like VMFusion or Parallels which can take a copy of your Windows in Bootcamp and place it into OS X as a file then run that copy of Windows in a window in OS X like so.
    Advantage here is you run most of your light weight Windows programs like this at the same time as OS X.
    Benefit is you can run just about any Windows or Linux version and OSX server editions (not client versions)
    Bootcamp only allows Windows 7, that's it now.
    You'll also be interested in two fre pieces of software, Carbon Copy Cloner and Winclone on macupdate.com.
    CCC clones OS X partition and Winclone clones the Bootcamp partition. Valuable for you.
    Good Luck

    At this point I would contact iTunes by:

    They should tell you what to do or how to fix it.

  • All of a sudden I can't forward my emails because when I go to choose the people to send them too the window won't pop up. The same thing for any other site that uses a pop up window. What do I do?

    It happened all of a sudden, any site that requires a new window to open to sign up for something or to choose something it just won't do it. I can't forward any emails because in order to choose the people I'm sending the email to, a new small window with my address book pops up and Mozilla won't let it happen. How can I change this back to the way it was?

    Mike,
    Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
    I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer.  Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected.  It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

  • Can't open pdf files. When I try it opens 10's of new tabs. I habe to exit for it to stop. Any solutions?

    Unable to open pdf files, not even in browse. When I try, it opens loads of new tabs - over 100 a time until I press the exit button on the top corner. The page flashes non-stop when it opens the new tabs. If I didn't stop it, it would open 100's more.
    All I want to do is READ a pdf file.
    PLEASE HELP.

    Already downloaded the Adobe before this problem arose and downloaded it again since then.

  • How do I save a Group Your Tabs Window? When I create a fresh Group Your Tabs Window it goes away when I close Firefox.

    I am currently beta testing Firefox 4.0. I love the Group Your Tabs option but every time I use it I loose what I have created when I close Firefox. How do I save my work?

    Hi,
    This is not a problem. You just have to go in options, in general tab -> start up options check the "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    This should do the trick. It's not a beta bug or whatever. It's just a preference thing.
    Some people do not like having all their tabs opened from last time when they open the browser

  • 3 of the 9 thumbnails in the new tab window won't appear after Firefox update.

    I've waited until the page stops loading and it still won't appear. It works if I change the site. The 3 sites in question are Facebook, Pinterest, and Sidereel. I haven't changed any settings on those sites. I'm stumped.

  • I want to delete 4.o entirely, but I get message saying I must reboot to complete a previous upgrade: clicking restart results in perpetual hang, Any solutions?

    Windows XP. Mozilla update says I successfully downloaded 4.0.
    Add or Remove Programs list says I have 3.6.3
    After I delete what I have, I hope to get a clean download of 4.0.
    Thanks

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    CAn't open any pdf files after updating my Acrobat.  What do I do now?

    I'm afraid I don't really understand what you've done. How could you renew Acrobat Standard on a Mac when it isn't available for Mac? But you say you "updated" it, suggesting it was actually installed before. Please tell us more.

  • Windows 8.1 File recory does not work with EFS, any solution?

    Hello,
    File recovery does not see my encrypted files, as soon as I decrypt them no problem. Is there a way to have File recovery see my encrypted files and back them up?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The behavior is by design.File History doesn’t protect files encrypted by the encrypted file system (EFS).
    But,files stored on a volume encrypted with BitLocker are protected.
    Thanks for your understanding.
