Too many clicks required to close a window

When I click to close a window, too often a menu pops up instead. What am I doing wrong?

The buttons that were giving me a problem were close X; hide X. It didn't seem to matter whether I clicked on the close, hide or X a menu would pop up with a list of items: Open link in New Window, etc down to Copy Image.
Now it seems to be working, or my fingers are working! Thanks for the great tip though in terms of closing the main windows and applications!

Too Many Authentication Required Dialogs

Hi,
I'm using Java 1.6.0_u10, at a client site, behind a Microsoft Proxy (Poxy?) Firewall.
when I try any Applets, or Java Web Start Apps, I get way too many "Authentication Required" Dialogs.
How many is too many? well for me 1, really, but I'm giving up after typing my username/password
- and clicking the "save this password in your password list" - (not sure what that's supposed to do,
if not save me from these dialogs) - for the *+6th+ time*. It seems to be once for every resource accessed, even though
they all come from the same domain - or they should.
In the Java Control Panel, I have tried Manual Proxy Settings, with the same settings from Firefox, System settings and Browser settings.
I'm getting a bit fed up.
Question: Does anyone have trouble free experience of Java Web Start (and plug-in) apps/applets behind an authenticating proxy Firewall?
If so, what's your secret?
After 12 years of Java development, I'm not exactly a newbie. I haven't noticed any of this stuff happening with Flash..and Firefox seems to cope. (although Acrobat reader doesn't manage to update itself, and Netbeans 6.5 is repeated getting me locked out of Windows, but that's another story)
I know the firewall is a nuisance, but if Sun really wants to catch up in the RIA market, it just has to... just work.
Rgds, and thanks for reading, rant over,
Matthew.

That's really odd.
I'm behind a NTLM authenticating MS Proxy server at work and I don't have an issue with Applets or JNLP.
I'm on Java 1.6.11
There a definitely issues with other software, for instance neither Apple's Safari or Google Chrome (both webkit) will work through the proxy server.
But Java does.

Too many symbols require `small' PIC references

Error Message:
ld: fatal: too many symbols require `small' PIC references:

*** Error code 1
I am linking perhaps 100 object files to create a shared object. All objects are compiled in
the following manor:
/apps/SUNWspro/bin/CC -KPIC -z text -library=iostream -G -g -O
-DRW_MULTI_THREAD -D_REENTRANT -mt -D_RWBUILDSHARED -DPS_MT
-I/apps/persistence_3.55/include -I/apps/persistence_3.55/include/sys
-I/apps/rogue_wave/include -c DBPS_mycode.cc
Oh yeah, I am trying to migrate my code to Solaris 7 from 2.5.1 and the code is dependent on this version of persistence (3.5.5). I don't get the error when linking fewer objects together. Creating several small shared objects in place of the one won't help either because I'll still need all the shared objects to execute my application.
Are there any compile options to increase the size that this error message is eluding to? Do I need a patch to fix this problem?

The problem was fixed when I removed the optimization option -O.

ITunes registering too many clicks! Why?

When I have the MiniPlayer view going, set to stay above all other windows, I will sometimes try to change the song or pause the track while working in some other program. When I do that, iTunes acts as if I have clicked whichever button I'm on several times, either skipping through multiple songs or, if I'm trying to pause a track, pausing it and then playing it again as though I had clicked twice. It's very annoying, and it's getting to the point where I'm considering finding another media player in place of iTunes.
What can I do to remedy this?

I have another clue to this behaviour, though I still can't completely fix it.
My slide master in PowerPoint has a text box with bulleted text. It goes to five levels (I don't use five, but this is what has been formatted). When I create a slide with other objects on it, delete the text box, and then import it into Captivate, I need to click six times to advance to the next slide (five clicks plus my click box).
When I go back to the slide master in PowerPoint and then delete two levels of bulleted text, then update my Captivate project, I only need to click four times (three clicks plus my click box).
It seems that when I delete the text box from the slide Captivate is going back to the slide master for details. If I leave the text box on the slide but leave it empty, then things work almost correctly, except I still require an extra click to continue past this otherwise invisible text box.
I have fixed this by leaving the text box in PowerPoint, but leaving it empty, as required. I then add my image, etc. into the slide and import it into Captivate. I then add a click box to continue and make sure that it is visible from the very start of the timeline, pauses the slide until the user clicks, and is only visible for a short time (until the end of the slide). This seems to work, although I would love to know how to get rid of this other behaviour (I will try creating an empty slide in the slide master).

Effect controls... Too many clicks!

This one's relatively minor: But once you click on a clip to launch in in the viewer, say to change its position or scale, you always have to click again on the little triangles to expand the MOTION parameters in order to edit them. Why not have them default to being open to begin with? What do we gain from having all those editable parameters hidden in their little sections?
Again, its a minor quibble, but once you have to do it 100 times in a row in a project it gets annoying very fast.
Maybe there's a way to do this that I missed?
Thanks
Fede

How is Premiere Pro supposed to know which effects you want to work on? Just because you want to make changes to Motion parameters doesn't mean every editor does. And if PP opens them all by default, we end up with the opposite problem, having to close some effects so we can easily see the one we do want to adjust.
I think the current operation really is the best overall, even if it's a bit of a pain for your specific situation.

Can't find a java script that will close browser window

I went through the archives and found several java scripts
for closing browser windows. Unfortunately none of the work. If I
find one that will work on a Mac - Safari then it won't work on a
PC - IE. I downloaded and installed that extension but cannot find
it on my Mac menus. Running MX2004 on a Mac.
Here are the codes I've tried and a example page:
<a href="#" onClick="window.close()">close
window</a>
<a href="javascript:window.close();">{YOUR TEXT
HERE}</a>
<a href="javascript:window.close()">Click here to close
this
window</a>
<a href="javascript:self.close();"> close window
</a>
Here's an example of a non working page:
[removed to protect the company]
and another script that doesn't work:
[removed to protect the company]
Thanks for all your help.

Too many symbols...

I am using Workshop C++ V5.0 to compile a shared object consisting of a number of object files, all of them compiled with -KPIC in the following manner:
CC -o foo.o -c -G -O -instance=global -KPIC -I/whatever foo.cpp
When I try to link these, I get the following error Message:
ld: fatal: too many symbols require 'small' PIC references:
have 3155, maximum 2048 -- recompile some modules -K PIC.
I found some messages regarding this problem in this forum, and in fact it does link without any problem when I drop that -O parameter. But I think this is not acceptable. There has to be another solution. Any ideas?
PS: I applied a number of patches, but maybe I have overlooked one?!?

The problem was fixed when I removed the optimization option -O.

Too many cards on Palm Pre

is anyone else gettin the message too many cards open please close any you are not using? This is happening without any open. it just happened to me and i had just finished adding a contact and had flicked the contacts off screen and tried to open calendar. i have only had the pre 2 weeks and this has happened 4 times. it is on Bell in Canada. tks
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Bell)

Hello and welcome to the forums;
What applications are you using just before you notice this error? Some apps such as 3-D games, web, maps, and email can use up a lot of system resources, which may cause this error even after the cards have been closed. Try closing all open cards and restarting your phone by following these steps:
1. Hold down the power button
2. Slide the ringer switch back and forth
3. Repeat step 2
4. Repeat step 2
5. Release power button
6. Wait a few seconds device screen should go black and then reboot
Try then to open whatever application you were getting an error on. Most likely, you will be able to open it with no problem. If this problem reoccurs, or you find yourself restarting your device frequently, you may want to contact our technical support department for further troubleshooting steps.
Hope this helps,

When I close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete, I want to start over on Firefox, I usually do this when too many tabs and windows are open. However, Firefox always restores the tabs and windows I previously had. How can I stop that from happening?

This happens when FireFox is not responding, and I want to close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete. Too many tabs can make Firefox crash. That is why I want to use ctrl-alt-delete to close FireFox. I tried finding a way to disable this, but I found no option to.

Ending the Firefox program or process with the Windows Task Manager "looks like" a crash. The proper way to exit Firefox is click Firefox button > Exit (or File > Exit, if using the Menu Bar).

HT201317 Photostream to my Windows computer has stopped working. In icloud control panel, photostream is unchecked, I check it, hit options, nothing happens. I click apply and close. Next time I open control panel, photostream is unchecked again! What ca

Photostream to my Windows 7 computer has stopped working. When I open icloud control panel, photostream has become unchecked even though it has been previously checked. I check it again but when I click options, nothing happens. I click apply and close, but next time I open the control panel, Photostream has become unchecked again. What can I do?

Lisaglenoak:
When I first downloaded iCloud to my PC a little while back, Photo Stream initially worked. I was able to check/uncheck both boxes available to me, as well as click the Options tab to the right of Photo Stream. I could make changes, click "Apply", and everything was fine and dandy.
Within a day, I opened the iCloud Control Panel, and despite how many times I would uncheck Bookmarks, it didn't matter. I would click "Apply", and it would automatically ask me to sign in again. When I did this, Bookmarks would be checked again. Additionally, Photo Stream was grayed out; I was unable to check the box (which was unchecked), and I was unable to go to Options.
Somehow, I managed to get my iCloud Control Panel "unstuck", and currently, it is working fine. There are 2 steps that I did to accomplish this. The 1st step listed below may be the crucial element for those whose reinstallation of the program has not succeeded, in and of itself. It is a change that I haven't come across as a possible part of a solution to this problem; I just happened to stumble upon this whilst searching my PC for possible fixes to the problem.
Step 1: Find your iCloud File Folder. (On my PC, I clicked the Start button in the lower left corner, then clicked All Programs, and finally scrolled down to where all the folders for various "things" are.) Click the Folder and a sub-list will appear, with items such as Calendar, Mail, etc. Right-Click the iCloud Program icon, and at the bottom of the list that appears, click on Properties. At the top, there are 5 tabs. Click the Compatibility tab, and you should see, at the top, the following words: "If you have problems with this program and it worked correctly on an earlier version of Windows, select the compatibility mode that matches that earlier version." Following these words is a dropbox underneath "Compatibility Mode", and for some reason - I have no idea why this is - the box was initially checked to run the program in compatibility mode for "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". (And from what I understand, Windows XP is not a compatible Windows Edition for iCloud, so I have no idea why this box was checked.) If the box underneath "Compatibility Mode" is checked, than it is running iCloud in compatibility mode for any number of earlier Windows' Editions. Uncheck this box, click the "Apply" button, and then click "OK".
Step 2: Find your PC's Control Panel. (On my PC, I clicked the Start button in the lower left corner, and then clicked Control Panel in the list to the right.) In the Control Panel, click Programs. Under Programs and Features, Click "Uninstall a program" (and bear with me here, because you are actually not going to uninstall iCloud). Now, scroll down the list and find "iCloud". Double-click the "iCloud" icon, and a panel with 2 options should appear: "Repair" and "Remove". Check the "Repair" box, which will reinstall the same iCloud Control Panel, replacing missing or damaged files. ("Remove" will just .. well ... remove iCloud from the computer - or, if you prefer, uninstall the program.) Click Next, and the repairing process will begin and end. And that is it - you're done. Task Completed.
Well, in the end, this worked for me. Photo Stream was no longer grayed out. I could permanently uncheck Bookmarks (finally). The Options tab for Photo Stream would open. Anytime that I clicked the "Apply" button after checking/unchecking boxes, it wouldn't ask me to sign in again (only to come back to a Control Panel that looked just like it did before I made any changes to it.). And, I created a Shared Photo Stream on my phone using photos from my Camera Roll (to test the program), and the Shared Photo Stream appeared on my PC's Photo Stream in no time. Hopefully, this will work for you too (regardless of the Windows Edition you are currently using). ~ Brian

FIREFOX CRASHES WHEN I click to close any window from a website,

I am on a website- any website. I click on a link or box within the website and a window opens. When I am done with that window I click the box in the window that says "close" or I click the little "x" in the corner and BANG- firefox closes, no crash report at all, just closes completely with out warning. Would like to re install firefox 3.???? never had that the the 3+ versions.Maybe I should start using IE again or I see that safari is supposed to be fast too?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the tab?
Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

Every time I click on the Categories tab or Top 25 tab in the app store, it says 'too many http redirects'

Every time I open the app store on my iPod touch, it says 'too many http redirects' whenever I click on the Categories and Top 25 tabs. I tried force quitting the app store, that didn't work. I tried closing all windows in Safari and force quitting safari, also didn't work. I reset the network settings, that didn't work either. When I reset all settings, it appeared to work. The tabs were different (it had a Genius tab), but it worked. However, immediately after force quitting the app store (I force quit a lot to keep as much RAM clear as possible), the same thing happened again. Does anyone know a permanent, Apple-supported solution to this problem? And please do not say restoring it. I don't want to start from scratch just to potentially experience the same problem.

However, it seems to be an Apple/network problem beyond your control
