Too many windows!

Help! Every time I switch from the arrange window to the mixer or sample editor, it seems like a new window is created. I've been working for some time on a project and I probably end up creating dozens of new windows every time. Then when I reopen the project it has to boot of a zillion different windows.

You should probably look into screen sets and get into a smoother organizational pattern.
Just press a qwerty number to start a new screen set and go from there.

  • When starting up too many windows open up.

    When starting up too many windows open my 2010 Macbook White with upgraded Lion and apparently slows it down. How do I prevent unwanted windows from opening up on startup?

    When you shut down your machine, you get a dialog box that asks you to confirm the shutdown.  There is a little check box there that, by default, will re-open all of the applications that were open when you shutdown.  You can uncheck that to prevent those applications from reopening.
    I'm guessing that you do not have a bunch of applications set up to automatically start under your user settings.  If doing the above doesn't work, let us know and we'll go through checking for any start programs set to start when you login.

  • Too many windows open

    I have made buttons many times before and no problems. I am
    making a new site and have some navigation buttons in it and am
    using the following script i've always used.
    on (release) {
    //Goto Webpage Behavior
    getURL("fun1/homefront.html","_blank");
    //End Behavior
    I have only one button coded for each thing, and cannot find
    the coded dupilcated anywhere in my flash file. However whenever i
    view it in the browser window and click the link buttons a new
    strange thing happens. Instead of opening the page link once in a
    new window, it opens it twice so i wind up with two windows opening
    instead of one, and i only clicked the link once. I never had this
    happen before and just can't see why its suddenly opening two
    windows, my other fla files aren't doing this, just this one so i
    know its a problem in this file, but where, how? Or was their a
    recent update somewhere that is messing with me?

    ok, i went through and made sure all my buttons have
    instances named so now my portfolio buttons all open two blank
    windows when clicked regaurdless of browser. How do i get them to
    open one window instead of two?
    i have a main timeline and in the content area i have a movie
    clip containing all my main text and stuff. in each different scene
    there is another movie containing each scenes text and
    transistions. Do i need to move the buttons up a movie is this
    causing the problem? i'm pretty sure i've done past stuff like this
    before and never had a problem with two windows opening on a click.
    Anybody know if theres a way to code the buttons to force only one
    window to open instead of two? or do i need to change were my
    button links are located to fix this?

  • Slow/Too Many Windows?

    Hi,
    Safari 5.1 is soooo slow! Mission Control shows a huge number of windows, even though I have tried every setting to eliminate old windows when restarting Safafi.
    Are all the windows showing in Mission Control really open?
    Are they slowing down Safari?
    How do I totally stop old windows from reopening when I open Safari?
    Many thanks?

    I believe that I now have the answer. The problem is the new
    Resume feature. A ton of reopened windows is unnecessary for me, and just slows down Safari. This seems to work: http://www.macworld.com/article/161366/2011/07/override_resume_temporarily_when_ quitting_lion.html#lsrc.rss_main
    I suggest Apple add Resume off/on to preferences.

  • Safari opens too many windows

    After upgrading to OS Lion, when I open Safari it doesn't always take me to the default Apple site -- sometimes it opens multiple windows to sites I recently visited; sometimes it goes right to the Apple site -- I never know what I'm going to get.  Also seems much slower loading pages.

    Here's what I've done [from "For the truly paranoid...digital shredder -- security (Apple)"]:
    -Where are your user Safari cache files located in OSX?
    NOTE: The workflow is throw away what is in a folder without throwing away the folder except when deleting QuickTime files which case you'll throw away the selected folders as stated below.
    Home>Library>Caches>com.apple.Safari>Cache.db (throw away the Cache.db file)
    Home>Library>Caches>com.apple.Safari>Webpage Previews>get rid of all the files in this folder, they are .gifs, jpegs., png, etc (they are image files to what you have been looking at on the internet
    Home>Library>Caches>QuickTime>Downloads>Throw away any folder here like 00, 01, 02, 03, etc. These folders contain any thumbnail of link to movies you have been watching on the internet.
    Home>Library>Cache>Metadata>Safari>Bookmarks> throw away everything in this folder. It contains navigational information to the sites you have visited.
    Home>Library>Cache>Metadata>Safari>History> throw away all the files in this folder it contains the history of your internet surfing habits.
    Now throw away these files:
    History.plist
    HistoryIndex.sk
    LastSession.plist
    TopSites.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    they are all located here:
    Home>Library>Safari> History.plist, HistoryIndex.sk, LastSession.plist, TopSites.plist, WebpageIcons.db
    Lastly, remove what is in the LocalStorage folder located here:
    Home>Library>Safari>LocalStorage>link.localstorage
    Now in the Finder use, "Secure Empty Trash..." to not only empty the trash but securely write over it.
    For example, as stated above, this: "Home>Library>Caches>com.apple.Safari>Cache.db " means:
    1. Select your Home folder in a Finder window, it’s located in the Sidebar and looks like a house.
    2. Now select the Library folder
    3. Next, in your Library folder select the “Cache” folder
    4. Next, while in your Cache folder select the com.apple.Safari folder
    5. Select the Cache.db file and throw it away
    What will happen is next time you surf the internet Safari & QuickTime will create new set of folders & files.
    Side notes
    - Use “Private Browsing” if you use Safari to surf the internet
    - Use a Proxy Browser to surf the internet
    - Throw away the above files immediately after surfing the internet & use “Secure Empty Trash…” and also use Disk Utility, "7-Pass Erase" as stated above.
    - Never save and load a file to a grow site with "metadata." Software like Photoshop, iPhoto, Aperture and many others can read it and it might contain information about you.
    - Never use GPS (Global Positioning System) to photograph your grow, it travels as metadata with your photographs
    - Never use "Location Services" on cell phone which pinpoint your location with great accuracy.
    - EXIF (Exchangeable image file format) data can never be modified. EXIF data is recorded every time you click to take a photograph - it records many things like time of day, lens used, camera type...
    - If you use a computer other than yours to surf the internet you most definitely will want to throw away the above files and "Secure Empty Trash..."
    This may seem like a lot of stuff to do but after doing it a few time you'll have it committed to memory
    (sorry if i posted this in the wrong place, mod -- feel free to post it in the correct location, thanx)

  • Too many windows and not enough tabs.

    Hi, this is my first post. I'm using Safari 4 Beta on a 13" Macbook with the latest OS. In spite of the fact that I have preferences set to 'Open links in a new tab' checked, Safari insists on opening them up in a new window. I don't always notice that it does this until I decide to close a window down then realize that there are anything up to 20 Safari windows open! Grrrrr.
    Does anyone know how I can get Safari to abide by my wishes and open all clicked links in new tabs ?

    Hi,
    'Open links in a new tab' only applies to external applications. E.g. links clicked on from with Mail.ap, or AddressBook etc.
    To force single window mode, you need to enable a hidden preference via the Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal). Firstly, completely quit Safari (Safari menu > Quit) and then copy and paste this command into a Terminal window and press return:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
    Restart Safari and now links that would open a new window should appear in a new tab.
    To undo the command at a later date, replace the 'true' with 'false' and re-run the command.

  • Too many AD security groups for ACS 4.1

    We have an issue that when a user is a member of too many Windows AD (2003) security groups (roughly 65) they won't get authenticated by our ACS 4.1.
    The 1st thing we investigated was the Windows Kerberos authentication issue. Which basically says that if a user is a member of more than 70 security groups then Kerberos authentication might fail. However we've used the tokensz.exe tool to calculate that the affected users Kerberos Token size isn't above the problem 12,000 bytes. Link to that issue http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757478%28WS.10%29.aspx
    On the ACS, when a user is a member of too many security groups, the error message is "External user not found". When the user is brought down to the "magic" number of security groups authentication works no problem.
    At the same time on the DC errors can be found in the CSWinAgent.log file.
    CSWinAgent 01/18/2010 12:25:23 A 0063 5720 NTLIB: Insufficient space for all of user [email protected] certificates
    CSWinAgent 01/18/2010 12:25:23 A 0063 5720 NTLIB: Group list buffer is too small for getting full groups list.
    So we are starting to think that the DC and / or CSWinAgent is causing us issues. Has anyone experienced similar issues?
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Hi Stuart,
    We are hitting a bug here.
    CSCse49827            Bug Details
    ACS Remote Agent fails users with too many goups
    Symptom:
    Windows External Database authentication fails on the ACS 4.0 SE if a user is a member of
    too many Windows groups.
    Conditions:
    This is specific to the ACS SE running 4.0.1(42) or earlier using Windows Domain Authentication
    to the ACS Remote Agent.
    Workaround:
    Reduce the number of group memberships the user is part of or reduce the lenght of
    the group names the user is a part of.
    Further Problem Description:
    If a user ia a part of enough windows groups that the number of characters total of all the groups
    exceed 1024 bytes the authentication of that user will fail.  All other users should still authenticate
    without any trouble
    Please upgrade ACS to 4.1.4 and that should fix it.
    First you need to upgrade it to 4.1.1 and then 4.1.4
    Regards,
    ~JG

  • 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).

    I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is  a POP acct
    I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

  • Firefox crashes when too many (3) tabs/windows open

    Firefox crashes if too many tabs (3) are opened, if 2 browser windows are open, in Yahoo mail (deleting npYState.dll did not fix it) and does not give me a crash report. Internet explorer is not having problems like this.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After downloading 3.6.6

    Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.
    Or you can go to '''Start''' and type in the Vista search box '''%APPDATA%''' then click on '''Roaming''' then go to '''Mozilla>Firefox>Crash Reports>Submitted''' then open the .txt files and copy the Crash report ID that starts with '''bp-xxxxx-xxxx'''

  • Firefox 4 opens TOO many empty windows on starting the browser!

    Every time I open up Firefox 4 a BUNCH of empty windows load up with my LAST 'remembered' tabs. SO I have ONE window with all my tabs intact.. and then like 13 EMPTY windows and this happens EVERY time I start up firefox. I have tried everything from using the about:config and changing that one browser tab setting to 'true'... I took out the mimeTypes.rdf from the Application Basics section I even tried UNINSTALLING and REINSTALLING firefox.. I'm SO tired of all these empty windows does ANYONE know what could cause this? I also ran a 'malware' check and I have NONE. I have honestly done EVERYTHING to try to fix this... just wondering if anyone ELSE is experiencing this and if anyone else has ANY other advice! I'm about ready to switch to Google Chrome.. I don't want to! So ANY help/advice would be appreciated! Thank you!!

    Hi cor-el,
    I think I've seen your answer before on OTHER questions like this one that I asked... The '''STRANGEST''' thing is.. yesterday it opened up '''PERFECTLY''' with NO problems.. then TODAY.. when I opened it.. it actually for SOME reason remembered this 'adobe' page I was on that I KNOW I closed and OTHER windows again.. and it just seems like a MESS now any time I reopen.. like... ''EACH time ''will be a SURPRISE as to what I will SEE in the tabs or extra empty windows...
    BEFORE I attempt this... (I didn't WANT to when I saw you post this before) but NOW I think I MAY have NO CHOICE.. but BEFORE I try this...
    Can you ''PLEASE'' tell me what you mean by... 'REDO App Tabs and Tab Groups'?? I don't understand what that means? How DO I do that?? I'm sorry I checked the link under there and I FEEL totally '''confused'''! If you have a 'short cut' way of explaining this I would LOVE to know and '''''appreciate''''' your time and help.. if not, I understand as I'm SURE it's a bit of explaining...
    I just DO NOT understand why this is happening in the FIRST place? HOW did it START and what the HECK did I DO to make this happen? And why is it, that it seems like NOT too many people HAVE this issue?
    Anyways, thanks for your time.. and
    ANYONE ELSE''' if you have annnnnnnnnnnnnny IDEAS please let me know or if anyone has heard '''ANYTHING''' else about this '''ANNOYING''' situation!
