  • Cannot resize new mail window in yosemite

    Ever since I installed Yosemite, the new mail window pops up way too wide. I can make it shorter or taller but not narrower. Periodically, someone will post a fix and that generally works once or twice but then that does not work either. I have deleted large signatures, deleted multiple accounts, rebuilt mailboxes and restarted more times than I can name. This is truly irritating and needs to be fixed. I know I am not the only one with this problem because I have seen others post about it. I am working on a brand new macbook pro 13" with all the bells and whistles so it is not the hardware. Help please!

    Hi Adrian,
    there is no need for cut and paste the signatures for every e-Mail. Just follow the described procedure. Remove your Signatures under Mail/Settings/Signatures. After this you will be able again to adjust your New Message or Reply-Window in width. After you have adjusted your New Message - Window, restart the Mail-App and write your Signatures back under Mail/Settings/Signatures. Now anything should work perfect. You can adjust any Windows in Mail, as it should be. If your Signature is to big, you can copy them into a file from the Textedit-App, change the Text over Format/Make Plain Text (with this step you remove hidden formats), then  change the text back over Format/Make Rich text and copy in the last step this Text back to your Signatures under Mail/Settings/Signatures. Close your settings, restart Mail. This procedure takes you only minutes. After this, it works for sure.
    Sorry for my bad English, but I hope you will understand what I intend to tell you.

  • Cannot open new finder window after upgrading to Maverick 10.9.2

    Hello friends,
    I am experiencing a very strange issue.
    I cannot access the contents of my files via the finder. I can access my files via open or save as from separate applications.
    I have tried the following:
    Finder ---> New Finder Window (finder flashes or switches to an existing open application)
    Double-clicking on existing folders (finder flashes or switches to an existing open application)
    Double-clicking on the icon of my Macintosh HD (finder flashes or switches to an existing open application)
    From Dock, click on downloaded document and choose "Open in Finder" (finder flashes or switches to an existing open application)
    From iPhoto, select a photo, and select "Reveal in Finder" (nothing happens)
    Restart machine has not fixed the issue
    After several tries, I get an error displaying that there was an issue with the finder.
    I am running Maverick 10.9.2

    Unfortunately, Finder is a part of OS level files. So, we have a couple of options.
    First off, let's see if there's a software conflict somewhere. Boot into safe mode (boot the comptuer with the shift key held down) and try there. If it works in safe mode, odds are we either have a 3rd party KEXT or application blocking its launch. Check your login items (Apple -> System Preferences -> users & groups -> select your user -> login items), and disable them.
    Also check your startup items (you'll have to do this in safe mode as it requires Finder).
    /library/startupitems
    If Safe Mode/removing startup/login items doesn't work:
    First, boot in to the recovery partition (boot the computer with command + r held down). Launch disk utility, and repair both disk permissions and the disk. Reboot and try again.
    If that fails, boot into recovery again, and reinstall.

  • Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

    Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

    Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
    The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    Here are some other things to check:
    (1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    (2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
    right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
    For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    (3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
    (4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Hopefully that cures it.

  • How to force weblinks to open in a new Safari window

    Hi,
    This morning, I just upgraded Lion from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4, and I upgraded Safari to Version 5.1.7 (7534.57.2).  Since then, when I click on web links in messages in Mail, they seem to open in a tab in an existing Safari window, where they used to open in a new Safari window, which is what I want.  It also appears that these pages load, they are loading in an existing tab and flushing the history, so tabbed pages end up disappearing with no way to determine exactly what they once were.  My Safari tab preferences are "Open pages in tabs instead of windows:  Never", and the checkboxes below this option are both unchecked.  Any help would be much appreciated, as I usually have multiple Safari windows open, each with 2-4 tabs active, and this current behaviour is quite destructive.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    I tried in my project and it worked fine but the browser window that my project was running in also changed.

  • New Viewer Window disappears

    I am running Yosemite 10.10.1 on my Air. This evening my mail viewer window shrank to two (from three) columns, then to a single message preview (quite wide, I must add), then disappeared. When I select New Viewer Window from the File menu, this very brief window flashes by, then disappears.

  • Mail wont let me open new message window

    Hello,
    So lately I have noticed a bug, I believe, in mail. At random times when I click on the new message icon nothing happens. However, if I close mail completely and reopen it, the new message window shows up. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks for the help
    Derek Osterloh

    SUSSED THE NEW MAIL MESSAGE PROBLEM!!!
    I am delighted to say that I resolved this one myself... Its on an IMAC 20", which I had also hooked up to a second display (although not switched on). What happened is that I turned to system Preferences, went to Displays, and changed the settings in the arrangement tab. This I thought would help, as perhaps the New Message window had been created, but was displayed somewhere else I could not see, and Guess what, there they all were! They had been elongated after the update to Leopard, and subsequently, were all sat there on the 'other' display.
    I hope his helps with others with the same problem. (thats also why I did not have the problem on the laptop)
    Good luck to all.

  • Strange Error while opening Web UI in a new browser window

    Dear Experts
    My requirement is to launch one of my custom Web UI screens in a new window upon clicking a button.
    I am successfull in lauching it in new window.
    How did I do it:
    Step 1) Created a custom object type (ZOBJ) for my z component in SPRO->UI Framework Definition->Define UI Object Types.
    Step 2) Created a logical link (ZLL) for my Z component in SPRO->UI Framework->Technical Role Definition->Define Navigation Bar Profile.
    After that, In the same path, select Define Profile->Define Generic OP mapping->(Here Assign Object type ZOBJ(step 1) and Logical link ZLL(step 2) )
    Then created a dynamic URL and passed this URL to the "on_client_click" parameter of my button.
    Sample code is below.
    I put the below in the .htm of the view where my button was declared.
    data: lv_url_string TYPE string.
    lv_url_string = 'http://server name:port number/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ui_frame/default.htm?sap-syscmd=nocookie&
    crm-object-type=ZOBJ&crm-object-action=B'.
    Note: Here ZOBJ is my custom object type that I created for my Z component.
    <thtmlb:button id            = "NW"
                         onClientClick = "javascript:window.open('<%= lv_url_string %>');"              
                         tooltip       = "New Window"
                         text          = "New Window" />
    Problem I am facing:
    The above code is successfully opening my custom screen in a new window.
    But on the toolbar (where we usually see error messages in Web UI),
    I am getting an error message with the below description.
    Type= SYSTEM_ERROR, ID= ERROR_SESSION_INIT, description= 16AA9A3937A9BB56E10000000A11447B
    I am not able to understand what this error is.  The message is appearing only for the first time I am displaying my Z component in a new screen. Interestingly, when I do some action on my screen (expand the assignment block for example), this message is gone.  This message doesn't seem to be effecting any functionality, but the users certainly don't want to see an error messsage like this.
    I did some research on this and this error looks to be coming from the class CX_WS_MESSAGE_SYSTEM.
    This class has an attribute (CX_ROOT) with initial value "16AA9A3937A9BB56E10000000A11447B" (same one I am getting in my error message). I am not sure though because this attribute (CX_ROOT) is present in several other classes also.
    I would really appreciate if somebody can throw some light on this issue.
    Thanks
    Raj

    Hi Arun
    Thanks for your reply.
    I tried the way you suggested. But unfortunately I am still getting the same old error.
    Forget to mention something...actually I am seeing this error in the new session (window) only. My original window is not showing any error.
    And also just FYI...This is inside the Interaction Center Web UI profile ->Account Identification -> Identify Account->Enter Account ID->Click on Confirm button.
    At this point, I am first showing a popup window with text "Do you want to open Partner details in new window".
    This popup has 2 buttons 'Yes' and 'No'.. If the user clicks on 'Yes', then I am opening my custom screen (Partner Details) in a new window.
    This is the point I am seeing the error  (only in the new window).
    Type= SYSTEM_ERROR, ID= ERROR_SESSION_INIT, description= 16AA9A3937A9BB56E10000000A11447B
    This custom screen contains several (only) assignment blocks (all lazy initially). When the user expands on any assigment block, the error is gone and everything looks good.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks and Regards
    Raj

  • Opening New Browser window for click event on an image

    hi all,
    I want someone to help me out solving the problem of opening
    a new browser window on the mouse click event of an image or a
    button etc.... The new window would contain the datagrid details
    from the main window, but in an expanded form. If at all there is a
    solution, I even want to know whether there is anyway for sizing
    the poped up window,because I dont want the new poped up window to
    cover the entire screen.
    For getting better idea of my problem, the best example I
    could give is the popup window that appears when we click on the
    preview button while posting the message to the forum.
    Someone please do help me out in this regard.
    Thanks,
    amar.

    I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
    flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
    window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
    page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
    to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
    use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
    or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
    Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
    a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
    configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
    constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
    for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
    should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
    popup.

  • Opening file in a new tab/window

    Hi,
    I have a form (HTML added through a widget) and a number of images on one page. I want each image to be a link to a file, where the images will be seen full quality. however, doing this takes visitors away from the page instead of opening a new tab/window - then clicking back means that the form data is lost - i.e. tickboxes are no longer ticked, etc.
    I cannot use the photo viewing page included in iWeb, as the pictures will then overlap with my form because the enlarged images are loaded on the same page.
    I hope this makes sense, and if anyone could help with opening files in new tab/window it would be great, or a way of opening a photo viewing platform in a separate tab/window directly from a click of one of the photos. I have seen other sites - http://www.aroundthebusch.com/Folio/London%20to%20Istanbul.html
    (this is not mine) where the photo viewing "platform" is IDEAL. I would love something just like this if someone could advise.
    i do not want the photos to link to an external page (which can be opened in a new window) as it would mean me creating separate pages for each picture, and linking them all... no way!
    Also, it would obviously be preferable to be quick to set up, but also to change. I would need to have multiple pages of many photos, each with the viewing facilities so it could not take a long time to set up. I may also need to add/delete some photos, so if all the linking work was done automatically it would be fantastic.
    Any help much appreciated,
    Thanks in advance, James

    If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
    window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");
