Why can't i quit dashboard?

Hello, i would like to know why i can't quit dashboard, can anyone tell me?
if you can... please post.

You can remove Dashboard from you dock so you won't see the arrow under it anymore. It's basically a system process not an application & so really isn't easy to "quit". If you're concerned about resources, Dashboard itself takes up very little, but any widgets you have on the dashboard can use resources. If you remove all the widgets from the dashboard (just displayed, not available for use), your resource usage of dashboard goes to basically nothing.

  • Why can't I quit you, photoshop?

    Go to Photoshop (CS6) Menu, and choose "Quit". Go back to InDesign, and Photoshop pops open. At first, I thought I'd hit the dock icon by accident. Wasn't the case. Over and over and over and over, quit, auto open. It was mildly amusing in a confusing way at first, but like a younger sibling that hovers their fingers just above your skin, this game is getting old. OSX 10.6.8; Photoshop CS6 13.0.6; InDesign CS6 8.0.2; Acrobat Pro 10.1.12; Chrome 21.0.1180.89.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this stop?

  • Why can't I quit Safari?

    The Xs within each tab of Safari are gone, so I have to right-click each tab and select "Close tab."  Then when I go to "File," the "Quit Safari" option is grayed out.  I right-click on the Safari icon on the dock, and select "Quit Safari," but nothing happens.  I've tried restarting my computer, but it says that Safari is open and won't allow it to restart.  What's up with that?

    Hi..
    Quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Reluanch Safari.

  • Why can't I quit garage band ?

    HI,
    my problem is that I can't close garageband and so switch of my computer. I also can't download extra digital instruments and loops ?
    thanks

    There may be many reasons for the download failing -  running out out of storage, network problems, permission problems on the system library, a firewall or Antivirus software interfering with the connection to the AppStore. It is really hard to say, what might be the problem in your case.
    Try if anything in this lengthy discussion does help:   Re: Garageband was not able to install the new sounds

  • Why can't I open PDF files on my iMac. I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license, as instructed then quit the application and relaunched it and I still can't view the PDF document. The screen comes out black. Please advice. Thanks

    Why can I view PDF files from the Web on my iMac even after I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license agreement.I then quit the application relaunched it, as instructed snd still the PDF document comes out blank or black. Please advice. Thanks

    Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

  • Seriously Apple, why can't Leopard render a transparent menu bar on my Mac?

    I have a 2-year-old PowerBook 12" 1.5 GHz running Leopard 10.5.2 freshly updated today. I thought for sure I'd get to see a translucent menu bar but, no, still opaque as ever with no option to change.
    Apple, let me tell you some of the things this pretty capable computer can do:
    -Dynamically render transparency and reflections in a magnifying Dock
    -Dynamically render transparency in Terminal windows with varying levels of transparency
    -Render GPU-intensive animations such as Genie effect, rotating cube, and dashboard "splash"
    -Hey, I can even boot into Linux, run Gnome, and make it's menu bar transparent!
    Please stop telling me my computer is not compatible enough to display a translucent menu bar. Displaying the transparency in the menu bar has got to be one of the least intensive operations Leopard will do. It is a static image (save for seldom changing menu items) that rarely needs to be re-rendered. Terminal windows, however, get resized, dragged around and display their transparency beautifully.
    Let's get some straight answers as to why this simple issue of getting a Transparent menu bar consistently displayed (ot not displayed, by choice) across all of your "compatible" hardware is such a confusing mystery.
    Thanks for fixing the Stacks, at least.

    Thanks for your input. While you may not mind a solid menu bar, I quite like it and would like to have one. My main gripe however, is the fact that this really just seems like some bug that Apple isn't willing to focus on, or admit to.
    They say the graphics card can render "most effects" but not the menu bar. But, seriously, as I've mentioned before, why can it render transparent drop-down menus, transparent Terminal windows, transparent/reflective Dock, Dashboard ripple effect but not a simple, basic, transparent menu?
    Once I get a decent answer to this, I'll be satisfied. Because right now, telling me my 64MB graphics card can't handle it seems like a load of bulls**t.

  • Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

         Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
    When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
    LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
    LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's 
    LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
    but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
                            THANK YOU!

    If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
    Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
    And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
    Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why can't I print embedded images in a Thunderbird E-mail? I just get blank boxes for the images.

    I am a copyeditor who receives feedback from my clients re: manuscripts I have edited. They will often sent e-mails that include small screen captures from parts of their style guide or screen captures of the proof that is in question (small sections, like a paragraph or an equation, or a header that needs to be coded/styled differently for HTML). Now, I can see these fine in the e-mail, but when I go to print them out for my reference binder, the embedded images don't print.
    Mozilla, I need these to print; they are quite important to my job.
    To keep my e-mail from becoming too bloated, I save these important style issue e-mails into a folder on my desktop I call "Print out for binder", queuing them for the day I can print a bunch of them out and arrange them according to subject matter.
    Problem is, they are useless if they don't include these illustrative screen captures; blank boxes are worthless to the context.
    It is not my printer that is the problem. if I receive a Word doc with these screen captures, they print fine. But if I try to print from T-Bird, no go. Help. (I can't save these e-mails as Word docs either, which might solve the problem; the only options in T-Bird are "Save as file" or "Save as template".)
    Thunderbird is a powerful e-mail program, and one I have been using for over a decade. Why can't it perform this function? Please help. Or point me to an add-on. I haven't been able to find one that addresses this seemingly straightforward, common, and simple problem.

    When you select File(or AppMenu/Print)/Print Preview, do the images appear? Do the images print if you check 'Print background (colors & images)' under File/Page Setup? I don't have any problems printing a message with an embedded image, at least to an xps file.
    I devised a workaround that might help, failing a real solution: install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/unmht/ unMHT] in both TB and Firefox, and then File/Save As MHT in TB. Open the mht file in Firefox, and Print.
