OS X :: Closing Applications - How To Know About It
May 9, 2010
I've just purchased a Mac from my friends friend (via eBay) and it's an awesome machine. It's not the latest MacBook and cost me �466, the OS is Version 10.6.3, 2GHz, 2GB 667MHz DDR2 and an Intel graphics accelerator.
I was just wondering, when I load up for example Firefox and close it using the X at the top left, it appears to be closed, but upon right clicking Firefox icon I get the menu and it says 'Quit', I thought once you close an application using the X (like Windows) it closes the instance of that application

I know this is Windows-esque, but is there a way when you only have one window up of closing that application by clicking on the red cross, instead of the window closing but the application is still open? I do find it irritating that I have to - Q all the time and I can't even - W on the last window to close the application.
If you know what I'm talking about, is there a way of doing this?

I just switched from Firefox to Safari, but I am really starting to miss the ability to close tabs by clicking them with the middle mouse button (scroll wheel)Is there a way to do this in Safari, or are then any better ways to close tabs withouth having to click the little close button to the left of them?

Everytime I open an application on my mac book pro it automatically sends me to an error message saying "insert name of application" quit unexpectedly click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically.
Once i press reopen however the same message continues to apear, and i am unable to open any of my applications.
Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), iOS 5.1

When I hit Command Q, in normal cases it should fully close the app, but in my case its only minimising it and restores previously active sessions (eg. on Safari) However when i hit the x button it fully closes the app instead of minimising it.
Info:
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Recently made the switch to Mac from PC - after over 12 years of exclusively, intensively using PC. Already I'm loving my MBP, and I've been trying to pick up as many nifty shortcuts as I can.
I couldn't figure out this one: Is there a way to close an individual Firefox tab by clicking it in conjuction with pressing a key? This way, I won't have to go straight to the "x" every single time when using the mouse. Cmd+W works, but only on immediate screen. I used to simply middle click to close a tab, but my new mouse's wheel button sucks!

is there a way to open all tabs in a bookmark folder at once without having Safari automatically close the ones already open?In firefox when you click to open all bookmarks in new tabs, they start right after the last tab already open but with Safari you lose the tabs you were using!

Today, suddenly, my finder has started quitting whenever I go to the "applications" tab. Every other part of the finder works but the applications refuse to open. It's worrying me because I think it could be one of those few mac viruses. I'm running a virus scan at the moment to see.
Also on the possible virus front. I had cleaned my HDD the other day and gotten it to 58 gigs left of free space. A few days later it came up as 78 free though which confused me.

how to add a "close tab" command to the control click contextual menu in Safari? (or an extension that would provide this feature) I know that if you control click on the actual tab you get get a different contextual menu that includes the close tab command, but the contextual menu available by clicking on the body of the page does not contain that command. I'm using the track pad on a Macbook Pro and want to be able to close the tab by using the using the trackpad alone without having to shift to the keyboard or move the cursor up to the top of the window to close the tab.

Love OS X and Safari. Can't stand the constant "Are you sure you want to close this tab" message that always pops up when closing tabs with forms.
Finally found a way to get rid of this. Type the following into Terminal:
/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugConfirmTossingUnsubmittedFormText -boolean No
Thought I'd pass this along; I searched here and haven't found this tip posted. This probably belongs in the OS X forum, but hey, I never look there and would guess many of you here don't either.

Is there a way to close all but the active windows in Mac apps (I'm running 10.6.5). I often end up having 10 Safari screens open and it would be great to be able to close all but the current one I'm looking at.

I have the both the bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I've tried pressing the power button on my Macbook and then closing it immediately, this doesn't seem to work. I've also tried to wake it by click on my mouse and tapping on my keyboard. Does this only work on usb wired keyboard/mice? Is there a trick to this?

I noticed that iPhoto and iMovie are setup so when I click on the red button to close the app it actually exits the entire program. Is there a global setting that I can turn on so I can do this in any app? I actually like this a lot more than keeping the programs running.

Sometimes with expose I find that I have fifteen windows/browsers open, and want to close a bunch of them. So far I've been selecting each one individually to bring it up, then closing it, then going back into expose to get the next one and do the same. Is there anyway I can just close windows while viewing them in expose without having to select them and exit expose?

I have not figured out how to close multiple windows in one click, rather than close them all individually.

This is a mystery. I recently switched a number of files and applications between computers, installing some stuff from a 2001 vintage iMac on a Mini, OSX 10.4.11. Now when I go to shut down the Mini, up comes the closing warning box. Previously, pressing the return key would activate the Shutdown, now nothing happens so I must always click the Shutdown box using the mouse.

I have problems closing other windows running on background. I tried to use cmd+option+w but it doesn't work. I really find this command useful when having several firefox pop-up windows open. Does someone knows what might be the problem? I'm using mac os x 10.6.4 on a macbook pro.

Alright, I dont know why but suddenly just when I was about to goto bed I closed the lid and didnt hear the click. I was like wtf?! I looked at it and the little latch hadnt come down. Its kind of stuck up there. So again I try to close it, nothing. Tried it SEVERAL times and NOTHING! I got a magnet, got the little latch down and when I close it, it doesnt even go into the hole now! WTF?! It was working before I used it! I didnt drop it or anything! It just LITERALLY decided it didnt want to work. I bought this about 3-4 weeks ago and I leave for college on Saturday. Im going to the apple store I bought it from and Im raising hell if I need to. What do you guys think they can do for me tommorow when I go there? Is it an easy fix? I need it back to me ASAP. Do you think they can do that? I swear to god if they do some ghetto work like bending the latch Im going to raise hell there.

There is a small crackling noise when I close my MBP lid. It seems like the joints are really dry and need oil almost. Is this normal?

I bought a MBP this February. For some reason, it won't go to sleep if I close the lid -- I have to manually go to the apple menu and press sleep. Any ideas? I tried a clean install, still no luck.

I have a Macbook that has been running slow for the last 2 days.
I scouted the net and ended up finding out I should check my Activity Monitor, which I did. There is a "WD Button Manager" that will flash up for a second and then disappear . It says that it is using 96% of my CPU.
(Does this explain why my mac is slow? Even as I type this there is a delay for a second and then the words appear!)
I think its for a Western Digital external HD I had a while back but I never use now.
So i tried to find the program and did, I tried to drop it in the trash and delete it but it gives me the message, cant trash because it is open.
But I cant open it when I click on the icon, it opens omnioutliner? (no idea what this program does!)

I know this may seem silly to ask, but I have read that the hinge is a bit vulnerable on the macbook pro, & mine will mostly be at home on a desk, but I may occasionally take it out. When I have it at home & shut down for the day, will closing the lid, & then opening it the next day weaken it? could I just leave the lid open when the laptop is shut down at the desk?
