When using spotlight, the preview window opens and refuses to close

The spotlight preview window won't close.  It just sits on top of anything else that you have open.  It is a massive pain, particularly when i have about 50 windows open and have to restart the computer to remove it.  Any suggestions?

Closing apps doesn't help (Until i close everything and restart the computer).  It seems to be stuck to a space.  Because when i shift spaces, it stays there.  Next time i might try deleting the space and see what happens.
Spotlight is not indexing, it's just open.  Unofrtunately i forgot to take a screenshot of activity monitor, but i took some of what the problem looks like:

  • When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, how can I get the browser to open the homepage the next time I start it while the download window is still open?

    When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

    When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
    The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

  • My school has a website.  The professor uploads files in Word.  When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book.  What Could be wrong?  Wrong set up?

    Hi Jo,
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
    If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
    An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.
    Regards,

  • I am unable to open another Firefox4 window when I have the Error Console open and I can't open the Error Console when I have two Firefox4 windows open. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I am trying to debug the jQuery to a micro site I've created and I am unable to open the Error Console when I have two Firefox windows open and I am unable to open a second Firefox window when I have the Error Console open.
    I am using Mac OS X 10.6.7 and I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
    Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
    Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
    But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
    Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

  • I can't get the Bookmarks button (NOT the Display Your Bookmarks Button) to show in the Navigation Toolbar, except when I have the Customise window open.

    I think that covers it really. When I have the customise window open I can see the Bookmarks Button (like the Display Your Bookmarks Button but with a little arrow on the right hand side) but as soon as I click Done it vanishes. I've tried it in a number of positions on the Navigation toolbar but without success.

    My bookmarks button just moved itself out of the Navigation Toolbar and into the Bookmarks Toolbar. If there's a way to return it, let me know.
    It's using a whole new toolbar's worth of space (since the Bookmarks Toolbar is now double height) just for one dinky button...love the idea of maximizing real estate and this is messing that up.

  • Can't print- 27" 2013 iMac-my epson stylus 3800 pro will not print-i updated driver n added printer in syst prefs-When i print the printer queue opens and shows the job as "stopped"-Supply level "information is not available"-maybe part of problem...thx

    I can't print from my  27" late 2013 iMac.  I am using an epson stylus 3800 pro.  I updated driver and added printer in system preferences. When i print the printer queue opens and shows the job as "stopped".  Supply level shows  "information is not available which maybe part of problem...thank you

    The first thing you could try is a reset of the printing system. Please note that this action will remove all printers and scanners from the Printers & Scanners preference pane.
    With the reset complete, unplug the Epson USB cable from the Mac for a minute and then reconnect it. This action should result in the printer being added again to the Mac automatically. If this does happen, then see if you can print again.
    If the printer is not added again automatically, open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add the Epson. Once this is done, then see if you can print again.

    The <b>authorize<i></i>.net</b> website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • APPS ON THE ipAD mINI OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. i'VE TRIED REBOOTING BUT STILL HAVE SAME RESULT

    APPS ON THE iPAD MINI BRIEFLY APPEAR TO OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. already TRIED REBOOT BUT SAME ISSUE.

    Have you tried a reset?  Hold down Home and On/Off buttons, ignoring slider until you see the Apple logo.  Then release the buttons.  The device will reset--you will lose no data.  Please don't shout--using all caps is not only rude but it is hard to read.

  • The edit button disappears when I have the link window open, so how do I copy and paste address for email link?

    When I want to create a link to a web page in an email, I click the "link" icon and a window appears asking for the address. But simultaneously, the "edit" function and all other functions disappear from the Firefox toolbar. With no edit, how can I copy and paste the address? I have tried highlighting the address and dragging it into the window, but it won't drop into the window.
    I have resorted to copying the address to a document and then pasting it into the link window, but there must be a less cumbersome way.

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden.<br />
    You can make the Menu bar visible via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />

  • When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop the Netscape sign on window opens and doesn't close. Firefox opens after repeated clicking but it never connects.

    The wheel that says "connecting" just spins indefinitely. Does anybody know what the problem could be and how it can be fixed? This started a couple weeks ago out of the blue. It never happened before. I've been logging in to Firefox for the last couple years without any issues. Funny thing is I'm not even sure if we have Netscape. I've looked on-line for info on viruses that behave the way I've described above and I havn't found anything.

    If you reinstalled iChat you need to download and install the combo for you OS, what OS are you on 10.?.?

  • When I launch Firefox several windows open and several Sign In requests. How can I resolve?

    This has been happening for the past 3-4 days. I click to open Firefox and anywhere from 3 to 6 separate windows open along with 1-2 sign in windows and a web address that I was on 2 days ago. If I close them all, and just leave one open, when I try to access any website, all the windows open again.

    Re-setting the Home page did the trick (I think). by clicking on the icon to the left of the Home page and dragging it to the Home icon as you indicated. Would never have thought of that one. So thanks a lot. An annoying problem has been resolved!!!

  • Incorrect indentation when using on-the-flying report generation and IF statement

    Reproduce steps:
    1. Use teststand version 4.2
    2. Turn ON on-the-fying report option.
    3. Report option -> INclude Step Results->Result Filtering Expression = Exclude Passed/Done/Skipped
    4. My simply code is
    For loop
       If something
          Do something
             If somethingmore
               Call Action and set Record Result = ON
            end if
      End IF
    End loop
    Issue:
        The test report generated for "Call Action" indents every new row. Because it is a long test, this make the test report very difficult to read. If there is a very long test, the test report is  become unreadable.
    Is there a solution for this issue?
    Thanks

    Hi Biet,
    Unfortunately this is a known issue with TestStand, which is documented in the TestStand 4.2.x Known Issues. This occurs in situations where you are using HTML reports with On-The-Fly Reporting and a Result Filtering Expression. To avoid this situation, you can do one of a few things:
    Use a different report format
    Turn off On-The-Fly Reporting
    Not filter the results
    If you must filter results, you can modify the process model slightly to improve the situation. Though this is not a complete workaround, it can help.
    First, configue your Report Options so that you are reporting All
    Results, rather than filtering. Leave On the Fly reporting ON. Next, we
    need to make a modification to your process model. In the process model,
    open the ProcessModelPostResultListEntry sequence. In this sequence,
    select the Process Step Result step, and select the Properties tab. On
    that tab, select the Preconditions category. The text for the
    precondition should be the following by default:
    !Runstate.Root.Locals.ReportOptions.DisableReportGeneration &&
    Runstate.Root.Locals.ReportOptions.UseOnTheFlyReporting
    Now, we want to modify this to be as follows:
    !Runstate.Root.Locals.ReportOptions.DisableReportGeneration &&
    Runstate.Root.Locals.ReportOptions.UseOnTheFlyReporting &&
    Parameters.Result.Status != "Passed" &&
    Parameters.Result.Status != "Done" &&
    Parameters.Result.Status != "Skipped"
    This
    new precondition essentially implements our own filtering. In the
    condition that I have supplied, we will not add entries to the report
    where the status is "Passed", "Done", or "Skipped". (You can add
    additional lines to add additional statuses to filter.) The limitation
    here is that the bug provides incorrect indentation, so the results may still be grouped slightly differently than they would be without the bug.
    I hope this helps!

    After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.

    I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.
