Windows won't close when you quit Pages '09

Anybody else find that the Special Character and Help Pages windows don't close when you quit Pages? Also, these windows can't be relegated to the background when clicking on an underlying page. These seem to be really sloppy oversights...

I appreciate that the Character palette and Help are separate applications. The problem is that there is no need to keep these windows open once the program that called them is closed. Moreover, when Help is called in Pages '09, the window that is left open after the program quits is Pages '09-specific. You can't use it to submit queries for help with any other applications. Therefore, there is absolutely no sense in keeping it open. I kind of equate this to a messy kid that doesn't clean up his/her toys once (s)he's finished playing...

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 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.

Can you turn off when safari saves the last webpage when you quit (IE. Command Q)

Hi guys.
I was hoping to find out if you can turn off safari saving the last page when you quit the application (Feature frfrom OS X Lion, also the same in iWork). I find this very annoying as I find it slows down my computer when i am trying to launch safari.
Thanks in advance.

System Preferences/General. There is a checkbox to enable/disable this behavior near the bottom of the window. Alternatives are: quit while holding the option key. Launch from dock while holding the shift key.

Windows won't close; app won't exit

Hi,
After some system admin (on Solaris 2.7) my Swing GUI application won't terminate and the main window won't
close. My code in my main window is:
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
System.exit(0);
I have to do 'ps' and 'kill -9 <pid>'. The same behavior occurs w/ the Swing Java tutorial apps; e.g.,
I only added a System.out.println("Window closing event captured") in the ListDemo.java src. WHen I close the
main window, I see this string displayed but the window
doesn't close (or it starts to, goes blank) and the app
doesn't exit.
I'm fairly certain it's an environmental problem, but
am stuck as to what to investigate. If anyone has
seen this behavior and could shed some light, I'd be
appreciative...
Thanks,
Marcia

I tried doing this: In the tutorial's ListDemo.java src, I replaced the entire WindowAdapter() code block with one line:
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
This didn't help (w/ either JDK 1.4.0 or JDK 1.4.1, on
Solaris). The app still doesn't terminate. The xterm from which I launched the app isn't responding to control-C. I have to kill the xterm. Also, if I can't write a WindowAdapter, how can I do some other stuff
(like closing network connections, etc.) before exiting?
Thanks for the help; any further suggestions would be welcome.

Windows won't close

I installed Safari Beta 3 and now Windows won't close just the tabs will.
Any body else have this problem?
iMac G5 1.8 GHz Superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi
"Repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Restart Safari. If that doesn't help, uninstall/reinstall Safari using the uninstaller and install items in the Installation package. Restart Safari etc.

Diaabling the window that pops up when you start recording

I finally got my friend to try Logic and he loves it, but he complains about the window that pops up when you start recording audio. Its not a problem for me but he swears it annoys him so I told him I would find out if it can be removed. So does anyone know if that window can be disabled?

I don't think you can remove it. I agree, that would be a nice option to have.
I think though, that if he were to move it over to a corner of the screen, Logic will remember this placement, and whenever he goes into record, it should open up where he left it, hopefully out of the way enough not to bother him so much...

The window shrinks down and when you expand it the writing isn't there it only shows the small part that does open. Most of the games can't be played this way!

When you click to play the game, the window shrinks down and when you expand it the writing isn't there it only shows the small part that does open. Most of the games can't be played this way, you can't read the chat or access most of the buttons!!! It is just the newest version of Firefox because it works fine on my other computer that hasn't been updated and it also works fine in IE.

I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated.

I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated. I have had to turn off my auto updating that was nice but I'll do it one at a time in order to keep the Pages 09 and Keynote. When something works don't mess with it. Any fixes out there?

I can't say that I have had a problem playing videos in Flash because I could always play them in browsers other than Firefox.
In Firefox Tools>options>Advanced Hardware acceleration is turned on.
I don't know if that is different that tuning it off and on in Flash or not, but for now it is a moot point.
As I stated in my previous message, after following all earlier suggestions/instructions nothing helped. But The latest one, someone suggested that maybe version 17 of Flash might be a stable version.
I made no other changes except to install it, a few days ago, and so far so good.
Many thanks for your help,
Giovanni

Windows won't close on quit

Hi! Even though the "Close windows when quitting an application" is checked on System Preferences, the windows don't seem to close when quit and I see all the documents back up when I open the app.
Any ideas on how to prevent that from happening?
Thank you

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I have a problem closing tabs in Firefox v3.6.13. The first tab on the left hand side (ie the page that opens when I launch Firefox) won't close when I click on the red x.

I can't close the left hand tab except by exiting firefox. When i launch firefox the original tab stays open when I click on the red x, even if I have other tabs open.
i can alter the website displayed on the left hand tab but it still won't close and leave other more recent tabs open.

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.

Pages OSX 5.0.1 right alignment won't space when you press space, Help!

Hi guys,
Pages 5.0.1 isnt showing a space when I press space. You know how it has a space when you type on the left, and the cursor moves over, not on the right UNTIL you type something after it, is there a way to fix this?
--Dan

Right justification is intended to produce a block of text that appears to have a straight edge on the right. This is achieved by placing the last visible character in the line against the right margin. The way I think of it, invisible characters like spaces are allowed to hang over the margin; some typographers treat punctuation like periods and commas like spaces, hanging over the margin, because they create too large a whitespace at the end of a line.
If you Show Invisbles, the space will show up immediately (although Pages doesn't show it hanging over the margin), but it can't push the last visible character away from the margin.

Windows won't close when you quit Pages '09
