Warning before quit

does anyone know of any kind of application or modification you can do so that Safari will warn you before quitting? "windows are open, are you sure you want to quit safari?"

I will stand in the corner with a D hat on...
No need. This is a little confusing, I agree.
...and there is no action to choose to be executed upon pressing my new key combo.
I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by this, but let's go back to the beginning.
1) Open System Preferences, click on the Keyboard and Mouse icon, and click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
2) Scroll down to the bottom of the list and click on the disclosure arrow next to Application Keyboard Shortcuts to show what that section contains.
3) Click on the disclosure arrow next to All Applications. Is there a Safari item under it? If there is, it should look like this:
If you didn't actually add a keyboard shortcut for Safari, the Safari item won't be there, of course. And if you didn't get the key combination entered, you won't see it as it's entered in the screenshot.
If there is no Safari entry there at all, click the "plus" button again. This is what it should look like after you fill out the fields for this keyboard shortcut:
Note that you have to click right in the field next to "Keyboard Shortcut" and press the keys that you want, as you would press them when entering that to quit. In other words, if you want to use Command-Control-Q, click in that text-entry box and then hold down all three keys at once.
If there is a Safari entry there, but the entry in the Shortcut column doesn't look like my first screenshot or the keyboard shortcut is missing in that column because it didn't get entered, you can just click once right in that section (the spot under the Shortcut column) to edit the key combination. Click the spot circled in the screenshot below, and it will highlight a text-entry box there, and then enter the key combination you want.

  • Safari warning before quitting when multiple tabs are open?

    I'm a rather clumsy typist who often uses Apple+Tab to toggle through my open programs. This works great 99% of the time, but that other 1% is rather frustrating considering that the Q key is right next to Tab.
    Apple guys, please implement a pop up/drop down warning when attempting to quit Safari when multiple tabs are open (or at least the option to enable or disable it). I use this browser for work and often have many tabs open, so accidentally quitting the browser only impedes on my workday. I know I should be more accurate, but isn't that what part of progress is? The empowerment of laziness? =)
    Thanks for your time, and hopefully we see this included in soon-to-come upgrades!
    Oh, and if this feature is already available, feel free to show me the way.

    jefftovar,
    I created and modified the Safari Keyboard Shortcut
    Quit (⌘+Q) command to (⌘ControlQ) by using System
    Preferences...>Keyboard Shortcuts.
    ;~)
    Great suggestion! But, the default Quit (⌘+Q) command is still in effect. I've looked about in trying to deactivate it, but can't seem to find it. How did you get rid of yours?

  • When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs..

    When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs... why not for the last window? I do not use tabs... just windows... I have a mouse button programmed for that. It is really irritating to have to restart Firefox all the time and then open the history window because no warning was issued!

    This is ridiculous. I've had this problems for years now and I'm finally walking away from Firefox. I use my keyboards more than my mouse, and how many times does your finger slip and hit Command Q instead of W. How come FF can't reset something as trivial as this? So many people are having problems with this?
    Feels like FF has become too big, too slow and just not cooperative anymore. What a shame, I've been using Netscape/Firefox for 13 years. This is silly.

  • HT1446 No low battery warning before it shuts-down

    Under MAvericks OS-X, our MBP isn't giving a low battery warning before it shuts-down. And yes the battery status icon is active in the status bar..  So why no warning??

  • There is no warning before deleting a playlist or folder?

    Hello all,
    I wanted to ask if there's a way to get a warning before deleting a playlist or folder?
    I've organised my music in folders with playlist but hitting the return button will remove a complete folder at once and I don't know how to recover it. The songs are still in the lib but how can I recollect my lost playlists when I have a few 1000 songs in the lib?
    Or is there a way to backup the playlists so I can recover them that way?
    Thank you

    You likely selected, at one time, the "Do not ask again" box when you deleted a playlist. If something's already been deleted, do not expect to get it back. If you want that option to return again, you may be able to deleted you iTunes plist. With iTunes closed, go to your home folder > library > preferences and delete a file called come.apple.itunes.plist. Restart. Try and open iTunes and remove a playlist (create a blank one if there's nothing you can safely delete).
    As for saving playlists and such:

  • I can not add the warning before buying an app. Could you please explain how to add this warning

    Please tell me how to add the warning before purchasing an app?

    Hey klw67
    Thanks for the question. Are you referring to the prompt for your password? If so, this can be achieved by utilizing the Restrictions (parental controls) of the specific device. For information on setting up and using Restrictions, see this resource:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)

    You can prevent access to specific content types:
    - You can also adjust the time necessary before a password is required to purchase content.

  • When I launch preview, it opens all the previous pictures unless I have "closed" their window before quitting.

    Hey everyone,
    I was hoping someone could help me... it appears that in OSX 10.7 (Lion), whenever I open Preview to see an image, I noticed that the last image I had opened, also opened.  This happens CONSITENTLY.  I figured out that this little "bug" seems to occur whenever I haven't specificly closed (Ctrl + w) a picture before quitting (ctrl + q).  So, if I only quit Preview... the next time I launch it every picture that I haven't closed just pops right back up.
    This makes no sense to me.  If somebody quits Preview to stop viewing a picture, they are obviously intentionally finished looking at it.  I could understand wanting a browser to restore a session, but a session of Preview?  Silly!
    My question... is there a preferance or anything that I can turn off so that when I quit, it doesn't relaunch those pics?  I looked around and couldn't find anything... so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks all,

    That's not just Preview, ie also Safari is doing the same.
    From here:
    Now apps you close will reopen right where you left off, so you never have to start from scratch again. And when you install software updates, you no longer need to save your work, close your apps, and spend valuable time setting everything up again. With Resume, you can restart your Mac and return to what you were doing — with all your apps in the places where you left them.
    It's not a bug, it's a feature
    You can change it in for the whole system:
    System Preferences > General > "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps"

  • Warning before emptying junk mail folder

    I am not sure if this option is disabled by default in the latest Thunderbird(31.4.0) but I used to get a warning popup asking if I am sure I want to empty the junk mail folder.
    How do I enable the popup warning before emptying junk mail folder.
    Thanks in advance.

    'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'General' tab
    * click on 'Config Editor' button
    It will tell you to be careful :)
    * In top search type: junk
    * look for this line: mailnews.emptyJunk.dontAskAgain; Value = true
    * double click on that line to toggle the 'True' to 'False'
    * close window - top right X
    * Click on 'OK'

  • Does not warn before closing multiple tabs

    On version 12 and even now 13, even with "warn me before closing multiple tabs" checked, it does not warn me. I have read about issues with saving data to disk and private browsing. All I want is to be warned before X-ing out of a window with multiple tabs open

    Hi, my issue has nothing to do with saving tabs for the next time. If I have at least two tabs open, then click on the X to close the window, I do not want the window and tabs to close. I want a warning asking me, "do you want to close this window?"
    That feature is not working anymore. It just closes the window without prompting a warning, asking if that is what I really want to do.

  • Warn on quit

    If you have the feature "Show my windows and tabs from last time" enabled in your preferences, Firefox 26 will not warn on quit, no matter what your settings elsewhere (either in the menu or in about:config). The philosophy behind this seems to be that since Firefox reloads tabs, nothing is lost and there is no risk in quitting without warning. But I don't agree: reloading all those pages takes a hefty amount of time on my connection, and often the internet times out and I'm not able to reload it at all, meaning a slip of my hand on the way to the minimize button could very well cost me hours of streaming, progress in a game (true even if you have a good connection), or access to an important email I had left open while the internet was down, all because Firefox didn't ask "Do you want to quit?" like every other program on the computer!
    As such, if anyone knows a technique or extension to forcing the Warn on Quit dialogue to appear even when I save tabs between sessions (as I use that feature as well), it would be very much appreciated. I've seen the usual methods for warnOnQuit and showQuitWarning in about:config and I'm afraid they aren't working.
    And yes, while disabling "Show my windows and tabs from last time" would get the warning back, I think if I have to leave with only one of the two features, I'll keep the saved tabs. Accidentally closing Firefox can cost me an hour or so downloading old content, but losing my tabs can cost me weeks.

    I haven't replied yet because, well, I've been trying to make it work and I haven't had any luck. Still, I think you've got the best possible idea for my situation: if the close button isn't there, I'm okay. I've seen some solutions (one posted by you, in fact) that remove the entire set of corner buttons, but I can't get the command to remove the close button alone (#titlebar-close) to work. Perhaps I'll have to look further into chrome editing in general. Thanks for putting me in the right direction!

  • Are there any ways to make sure FCPX saves the project before quitting?

    The other day when I was working on a project, Final Cut Pro did not save any changes I made for the last 3 hours. I lost all of my work. I understand that FCP is supposed to autosave  projects, but it didn't. Are there any ways to make sure that it saves before quitting? I am currently running the trial version 10.0.8, and I plan to upgrade to the full version, soon, provided there aren't too many bugs.

    It turns out it was a corrupted project. All other projects autosave before quitting, but that one always displays the same last modified time. I solved it by creating a brand new project.

  • Time machine did not warn before deleting older files

    I am running Snow Leopard and TimeMachine is off meaning I start backup manually whenever I see it fit. I have, however, in the TM settings checked the 'warn before removing old files' (might not be the exact English wording).
    I think that when last time I gave the command 'Backup now' there was no confirmation needed but removing started immediately. Can it be so?

    Just one more question: Is the meaning and behaviour of ""Warn when old backups are deleted" still the same at Lion?
    Your welcome.
    I don't use TimeMachine or Lion, I consider the two inferior.
    Cloning OS X is superior as I can boot and use the computer like before, so I use Carbon Copy Cloner for that.
    I'm not too pleased with Lion, all the depressing gray, the UI changes etc, so I'm not using it and likely won't ever, just switch to Mountain Lion when it arrives this summer.
    You know a OS X version is bad if Apple releases the next one a year ahead of scheduale.
    If your thinking of taking the Lion leap of faith, better check here first. (and clone your 10.6 drive first)

  • I would like to get a warning before accidently deleting a playlist

    Hi,
    I am running the latest itunes and on leopard.
    I love iTunes and use it for all my needs for music, videos, etc.
    I make lots of playlists for different genre, parties, etc etc.
    However sometimes when I think I am selecting a song I want to download it was actually highlighting the playlist the song was in instead. It is sometimes hard to see as it highlights the song too.
    I press delete and the whole playlist is gone. I realized the old itunes use to prompt a message asking whether I was sure I want to delete. Is there an option I can choose to turn this function back on?
    It is very frustrating since some of my playlists take me days and weeks to collate for parties. Once its gone I have no idea what I have chosen since some of the playlists I made months ago.
    Thanks!

    The new version cannot reset warning before deleting songs.
    Since I edit a lot of my songs constantly as I dj, I just accidently deleted a whole playlist which I took me a few months of collating. I have 600 GB of music, so its a BIG hassle and very upset by this.
    If iTunes can have a setting like iCal where the calendar cannot be deleted by pressing delete, but have to right click delete + prompt.
    Is there a way to fool proof this from happening again?

  • My sound keeps scrambling and blaring without warning before I either restart or stop music/videos for a while. It's without warning and happening on different programs. Is this happening to anyone else?

    My sound keeps scrambling and blaring without warning before I either restart or stop music/videos for a while. It's without warning and happening on different programs. Is this happening to anyone else?
    I thought about resetting the nvram/pram, but before I do that, I wanted to check here. It might not be the issue. My startup looks fine and the sound is great up until the discrete moment when it's suddenly scrambled and nonsense.

    I did try a safe boot once before, which didn't stop the occurrences. I can try it again to make sure, and see if the problem stops happening.
    Never installed extra audio or plug-ins, though.
    It happened just once not long after I bought the mid-2013 MBA, which I think came with 10.8.4, but I assumed the noise was because I was moving the computer around on a surface that created static, since the noise stopped after I picked it up off the surface. However, that must have just been a coincidence, because it happens more frequently now without moving or touching anything.
    Trying the safe-mode boot and restart, and testing it out for day or so to see if it happens again.

  • Warning before PlayBook turns itself off

    It would be nice if the PlayBook would display a warning before it turns itself off due to the low batter charge. It's very annoying whn working on something it suddenly the PlayBook displays the "Powering off"-dialog and you didn't have a chance to save.
    Looking at your battery status isn't a solution, because apps are full-screen and when working I don't want to be bothered with manually check that status...
