Why do I get Applications?

Lately when I click on Mail or Safari in the Dock my applications window opens and then I have to click on Mail or Safari to open either one. If restart my computer then it's back to where it was. I click on Mail or Safari in the Dock and they open.
Can anyone please tell what's going on?
Peter

Hi Peter,
You can try resetting the SMC on your intel iMac here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Next time the unusual Dock actions happen, close the Finder window and go back RIGHT click on icon and let us know what happens... Rick

  • Why do I get "Error 1 occured at Config Data Registry.vi(get data) invalid object 0" while starting my application?

    Why do I get "Error 1 occured at Config Data Registry.vi(get data) invalid object 0" when starting my application created in LabVIEW 7.1?  I am starting the application in a PXI rack running Windows XP.  I have an executable written in LabVIEW 7.0 that runs without this error.  After clicking the Continue button in the error, the application seems to continue happily.
    Is there something I need to include when I make the executable?
    I would like to understand and eliminate this start up error.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Bob,
    I looked through the program and I figured out where the error is coming from, and potentially what is causing it. In a lot of the cases of the program you are searching a 1-D array for the name of the case, and if you don't find it then it skips the function and gives "Error 1 occurred at Config Data Registry.vi(CASENAME) invalid object 0". I attached a screenshot that shows what I mean. The Search 1-D Array.vi is returning a -1 which means it didn't find the case. The reason I believe this is happening is because the shift register for that array is not initialized. While the other cases "reset" and "register" interact with the array shift registers and most likely create the array you need, if the program defaults to the "get data" case then it will try to run that before registering and won't have an array to search. This would also explain why it only has this problem at first and seems to run just fine after that. To fix this you should either make an initial array and wire it into the shift register or make the "reset" case the default as opposed to the "get data" case.

  • Why do I get the Application Error jqsnotify.exe-Application Error. The memory could not be read?

    Why do I get this error message every time i opened up Firefox saying: jqsnotify.exe-Application Error and then at the bottom line it says: The instruction at "0x5ff3d322"referenced memory at " 0xe41203c3". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I recently renewed and installed the CA Security Suite and un-installed Firefox and re-installed it again.

    System restore did it for me........!!!! It's gone and I don't miss it one bit.....!!!! May be one of those untraceable tricks that hackers use to irritate people.....Some security programs can identify these things ,but the perps usually use bogus addresses to send them anyway...Cyber criminals SUCK....<u>That is right ,I said that....</u> and they should be jailed and fined and suspended from internet usage all over the globe....

  • Why i keep getting the message application could not be downloaded at this time on  ipad2

    Why I keep getting message application could not be downloaded at this time, for applications purchased for the app store. I have tried resetting my ipad and that did not work, so now I have all this apps that I have purchased but will not download.

    Hello tay19
    Check out the articles below to troubleshoot updating your iPad. You may be having an issue with a firewall or other security software preventing iTunes from communicating with the update server.

  • I received an error "iTunes requires 64-bit mode" says to go into my iTunes application and 'uncheck' the 'open in 32-bit mode' checkbox - i went into the application and the box was not checked anyway so why am i getting this prompt?  Never happened b4

    i received an error message "iTunes requires 64-bit mode" says to go into my iTunes application and 'uncheck' the 'open in 32-bit mode' checkbox - i went into the application and the box was not checked anyway so why am i getting this prompt?  Never happened before. yesterday did the sofware update for maverick.

    Thank you for your response, Chris. But I'm afraid I have to disagree. There are native 64 bit versions of iTunes available for OSX and Windows.
    In a 64 Bit Windows environment native 64 Bit Applications install the DLL's in a directory called "Program Files" and a directory called "Program Files (x86)" (32 Bit applications only use the ladder).
    iTunes 9 is consistent with this behavior - and it identified itself to the system as a 64 bit application (meaning it's process appears without a "*32" tag on it).

    Only Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks. Microsoft support for the former package ended in April 2013. If you do not want to spend the money, you might download and try the donation-ware (free) LibreOffice Suite. No ribbon bar crap. Supports about any document created on Windows.

  • I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing in English

    I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing.

    Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
    NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

  • Why do I get aperture to download application ?

    Why do I get aperture to download application ?

    You can buy and download applications in the App Store app directly on your iPhone and iPad, or via the app store on your computer's iTunes and then sync them to your device - they are the only places to get apps for your devices (and you can only buy/download apps from the store that is based in your country).
    There is an iPhoto app for iPads and iPhones (I don't know what country that you are in, but this is the link for the US store : iPhoto). That app is compatible with both the iPad and iPhone and you can install it on both without needing to buy it twice - so you can buy it on one device and then re-download it for free on the other (re-downloading). There currently isn't an Aperture app.
    For ibooks you can download the free ibooks app from the store and then buy ibooks within it (there should be a Store button in it). Some countries currently only have free books available in them, so you may want to see if you have access to other ebooks apps/stores e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc. Also ebooks tend to have digital rights management on them which tie them to the store's own apps/ereaders (e.g. ibooks from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app).
