Why doesn't Skype not close when you click the X b...

I'd like to get some input as to why Skype does not close when you click the red X button on the top right corner but rather only gets minimized. It's frustrating and makes no sense at all. The only way to close Skype is to right click the icon in the tray and choose "Quit Skype."
I'd like to understand why this useless feature exists. It renders the minimize button ( - ) useless, which is only two squares away from the X button.
Please don't proceed to list other programs that do this (i.e. some antivirus software) as that was not what I asked. It's standard for programs to close when the X button is clicked, as will happen momentarily when I click the X button on my Chrome browser window when I'm done typing this quation. Thanks

What he was talking about was setting it to ""run as administrator" in the shortcut/executable as you should know that would run the application in a true administrator mode (like Windows XP) vs. the default crippled administrators group in Windows. I personally have not had to do this since I have not run into the issue but for those that have, people claimed it has helped/resolved the issue. In regards to following UI interaction rules, it does as it actually closes the form. Skype doesn't send an additional closure to the resident system tray icon form because it's a memory resident communication program. Some programs give you that option, others don't. Geforce Experience is one of the latest programs I use, that doesn't. Nobody forces anything on you. If you feel your family is "forcing" something on you, you always have the option of "forcing" something on them or suggesting another method you prefer in order to stay in contact with you. In the end that's a family issue, not a Skype one.
If you want to close Skype down in one click you can do so using the provided shortcuts in the following thread. You can also assign those shortcuts hotkeys or assign them to a key on your keypboard/mouse using additional key mapping software to completely close Skype with the press of a single button.

Why doesn't my cursor change when I click the selection tool?

When I open any file, the object -- in this case, an image -- is already selected.
I want to enlarge the image so I click the buttons to do that. Normally I would pick 125% or 150%, but the dropdown menu does not open. I tried clicking the up arrow/down arrow buttons. Nothing happened. I tried double-clicking on the numbers to type a percentage; tiny blue horizontal bars appear on either side of the default "100" as if the machine is trying to highlight the number, but can't.
I click the Text tool, get the I-beam, and can click in a text box.
After all that, I click the selection tool. Nothing happens. My cursor is an I-beam. I cannot change it to anything else.
I have installed and uninstalled InDesign several times in an effort to correct this and related problems.
Installed from media -- original disks -- encountered problem -- uninstalled & reinstalled -- problem not solved.
Downloaded installation files from Adobe. Same result.
Uninstalled & reinstalled InDesign only. Still no go.
Reimaged computer back to factory settings, created desktop installation point for CS4, installed CS4 from there. Still no go.
Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility between CS4 and my computer? It is a new (one week old) Acer Travelmate laptop. Got it from TigerDirect, a trustworthy merchant.
My OS is Windows 7, but this shouldn't be a problem; CS4 runs fine with Windows 7 on another computer in my house (which, unfortunately, is occupied most of the time, or I would use that).
Any ideas at all?
Please help. I have a project deadline coming up and really need this particular computer to work.
Thank you thank you thank you.

Bob! BOB!! You did it!!!
I would give you money if I had money.... The next best thing I can think of to offer thanks is give you a great recipe:
1 pizza crust of your choice
olive oil
8 oz of goat cheese (more or less to suit your taste)
1 medium tomato
6 large cloves of fresh garlic
4-6 oz of sliced black olives (more or less to suit your taste)
fresh or dried basil
For best results, all ingredients should be organic or at least of highest quality available
Oven 350
Pre-heat the oven to 350 (important to do this). Dice the tomato to 1/4-inch bits and dice the garlic to 1/8-bits or as near as you can. Slice the black olives if necessary. Brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Blind bake it for 3 minutes or until two rooms smell really nice.
Spread on the goat cheese. Sprinkle on the basil, tomato, olives and garlic as evenly as you can.
Bake the pie for 15 minutes and check it for doneness to your liking (crispy or not).
Serve with salad and a cold white wine for a nice dinner for two, or cut into 2" squares for appetizers at a party.

ITunes Will Not Close When I Click The Red "X".

I then have to go to "Task Manager" and then "Processes" then manually end the process of iTunes. This is a very frequent problem, please fix soon. I have had many versions of iTunes and they had the same problem, right now I am on the latest update of 10.4.0.80.

Hmm, log isn't much help is it
Can you confirm what you mean by a factory reset?
Some other users have had corrupt apps, that were fixed by re-installing the OS over the top.
I was planning on getting you to reinstall the OS, it can be done without overwriting the files you have installed, it will work like an 'upgrade'.
The default installer option is 'reinstall OS X' this means your user data & 3rd party application data should remain in place. However if you have nothing of interest on the Mac a clean install would be OK too.
I wouldn't attempt a re-install without backing up in case anything goes wrong, obviously a clean install removes all your data.
It is worth getting connected via a wired connection (ethernet) if at all possible. If the installer needs to be downloaded it can take a long time on wifi & can fail if the wifi is poor. An alternative is to create a bootable USB installer, ask if you want to do that, it's fairly simple.
To 'clean install' you boot into recovery mode (hold 'cmd+R' at boot)
Select Disk Utility from the options
Select your main 'volume' in the list on the left, below the disk icon. It will be called Macintosh HD (or whatever the disk is named).
Select the erase tab & erase it.
Quit Disk Utility
Open the 're-install Mac OS X' item & install onto the volume you just erased.

DW CS6 - Spry collapsible panels - How to have panel close when you click away from it?

I know typically onmouseout is used to close other items, but I could not figure it out with the spry collapsible panel. I have the panel opening onclick and closing onclick, but I would really like for it to close when you click anything else on the page outside of the panel.
Thank you!

Sorry, I did not mean other collapsing panels close when you click away from it. I simply meant in general for the closing after clicking away function, you can use onmouseout. I was working on something with collapsing panels and I wanted it to show the information when you clicked on it, but when you click on another panel, they both remain open. I really want both to close. I believe accordion does this, but not quite what I am looking for either.
Here is a better example of what I would prefer: Houston Public Library
If you visit their page and click "Find it" a box pops down with information and then when you click anywhere else on the screen, it closes that box. When you click "Research," it closes the "Find It" box and opens the "Research" box. There is likely a much better way to do this, but I am pretty new to this.
Any assistance is very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

What on earth is the "click me" lego man on the home page and why doesn't it do something when I click?

What on earth is the "click me" lego man on the home page and why doesn't it do something when I click?

The Click Me logo is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion - once clicked you should be able to control the character with the "WASD", and "IJKL" keys.
Quoting '''the-edmeister''' from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025706
That Click Me game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.
Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.
If you want to block the "Brand Logo" section (and the "snippet" below the Search container) from ever being seen again, you can install Stylish and this UserStyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo

Firefox 6 will not load when I click the icon. I have tried to uninstall it, both through the control panel and going straight to help.exe. In both cases nothing happens. How do I uninstall this program?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

Try doing a manual reset:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
If that does not work, restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

Can you have a DIAdem file embedded in a web app and then when you click the link to the DIAdem file it invokes DIAdem?

Can you have a DIAdem file embedded in a web app and then when you click the link to the DIAdem file it invokes DIAdem?

Hello JCN,
I will keep in touch with the current Applications Engineer who will be assisting you with this issue and update the forum with the status of the problem. I personally think that your best option would be to create a link that opens DIAdem and then runs a script to load the data from a predetermined file (Rather than a link to the file itself).

When a website launches a new window to enter information, Firefox no longer automatically closes the window when you click the submit button. Why?

For example, when I create a message in my autoresponder service and want to attach an image a new window opens up so I can enter the details of the image (url, position, alt text). When I click the Save button, the information is captured but the window remains open and I have to manually close it.
Firefox used to close the window automatically.

YES!! Thank you jscher2000! You sir are a legend. Thanks for this, changed the newtaburl in about:config, totally worked. Nope, never saw it happening! Speedy machine this one :P Yep, that change completely sorted the issue, just opened about 741 new tabs through the shortcut on my mouse just to celebrate. Thanks guys who helped, no thanks those who didn't.

Decorator not changing when you click on listitem

Dear,
I'm developing a mobile application for my thesis and I was working with flash builder burrito. I now installed the new SDK and flashbuilder 4.5.
I changed my code a little bit so it would work with the new SDK.
But there's one problem I can't solve.
I have a list with objects in it. When the element is not checked you can see a gray V, when you click on it it should become a green V. So the user can see wich one is checked and wich not. Here for I use a list with an itemrenderer.
The problem is when he loads the page he can set the decorator correctly. But when you click on a listitem he doesn't change the decorator.
I've allready tried to debug , and the debugger is going to the itemrenderer and setting the decorator but de decorator doesn't change in my list.
I made a small example to show:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
          xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="Home"
          initialize="init()">
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
               [Bindable]
               private var m_list:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
               private function init():void
                         for(var i:int = 0 ; i<5 ; i++)
                              var test:SelectableItem = new SelectableItem("Item"+i);
                              m_list.addItem(test);
               protected function list1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                    SelectableItem(m_list.getItemAt(listID.selectedIndex)).toggleSelection();
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>
     <s:List id="listID"
               x="0" y="99" width="480" height="596"
               dataProvider="{m_list}"
               itemRenderer="views.ListItemRenderer"
               click="list1_clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:View>
This is my class:
package views
     public class SelectableItem
          private var m_name:String;
          private var m_selected:Boolean;
          public function SelectableItem(name:String,selected:Boolean = false)
               m_name = name;
               m_selected = selected;
          public function get name():String
               return m_name;
          public function set name(value:String):void
               m_name = value;
          [Bindable]
          public function get selected():Boolean
               return m_selected;
          public function set selected(value:Boolean):void
               m_selected = value;
          public function toggleSelection():void
               selected = !selected;
and here is my itemrenderer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:IconItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                         xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" iconWidth="64" iconHeight="64"
                         labelFunction="itemLabelFunction">
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[

               public var checked:Class;
               [Embed(source="unchecked.png")]
               public var unchecked:Class;
               override public function set data(value:Object):void
                    super.data = value;
                    if(value != null)
                         if(value.selected)
                              decorator = checked;
                              setStyle("color", "red");
                         else
                              decorator = unchecked;
                              setStyle("color", "black");
               private function itemLabelFunction(item:Object):String
                    return item.name;
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>
</s:IconItemRenderer>
As you can see I also use setStyle and change the color when you click it. This is because that works. This is only temporary offcourse.
And I think that's a strange thing that setStyle does work but setting the decorator to a new image doesn't.
I hope my question was clear and that someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Thibault Heylen

I believe this was the bug: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-29929
It will be fixed in the next release of Flex.

ITunes or iPhoto do not appear when I click the music or photo icons

I wish to add music & photos to my production in iMovie. But when I click the music or photo icons, iTunes and iPhotoe do not appear in the boxes that open. I can have them open in another window and drag them in, but this is not what is supposed to happen, what can I do ?

Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

Firefox will suddenly not open when I click the icon, even though I have used Firefox on this computer for several months with no issues.

I have always used Firefox with no problems but suddenly the window will not even open when I click the Firefox icon. No error windows appear either.

Hi pkuhne-
I am not sure why your Firefox stopped working all of a sudden. I would recommend uninstalling and then re-installing Firefox.
1) Get new download: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
2) Uninstall your current Firefox version.
3) Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
4) It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
Hope that helps
