OS X Mavericks :: When Quitting Safari / Used To Get Dialog Box With Check Boxes
Jun 21, 2014
I used to get a dialogue box when quitting safari, which was useful if accidentally hitting 'command q', but has now disappeared leading to lost work etc. How I can get this useful option back.
Since the last OS update to snow leopard my dialog boxes have looked different. I'm assuming this isn't how they are supposed to look. Does anyone have any idea whats going on or how to fix it?
I'm not sure how it happened, but suddenly I have lost the ability to change some settings in print dialog boxes.
In any print dialog box, the top part of the window allows you to select which printer, any presets, the number of copies, whether or not you want them collated, and which pages.
Below that is a drop-down box that typically displays the application name. If you select the triangle in this drop-down box, some other options appear: Layout, Color Options, Paper Handling, Cover Page and Scheduler. All of these options work fine.
Below, these however, are another set of options that are all, I assume, provided by the print driver. On my HP Photosmart C7200, the available options are: Two-Sided Printing, Paper Type/Quality, Borderless Printing, HP Real Life Technologies, and Printer Driver Information.
If I choose any of these options that appear in the lower part of this drop-down menu, nothing appears. The application name remains in the drop-down box. In other words, I have lost the ability to choose two-sided printing, change the paper type or print quality, cor hoose borderless printing.
I have dozens of large PSD files (well 200 of them each abt 200mb) on a network drive folder that I need to access frequently. Access to these is really slow because it seems to want to create thumbnails every time I access that folder. I don't need thumbnails as all the files have a strict naming convention so I know what I want by name. Whatever view I use to load files (I'm using Photoshop CS5) (list, column, icons) it always tries to put a little thumbnail preview next to the file name. Is there something I can type into Terminal that will stop it doing this.
Ever since installing Yosemite, I've been bugged by a design choice somebody made for dialog boxes. The trouble is that it doesn't seem to have rhyme or reason. (I know there probably is a reason; I just can't figure it out.) Many dialog boxes are just fine; easy to read, with black on white or white on blue action buttons.
Black on blue for an "OK" or "Choose" button.Especially for those of us who are about half to fully color blind, there is almost no way to distinguish between the two. Does Apple have no color blind people to act as the conscience of the folks who actually make these kinds of design choices?
I've tried changing system colors to no avail. Is there some way to complain about this other than a bug report? this is of course not a bug, as the program is functioning the way it was designed. It's just a very poor design.

While in MS Word and other programs, the dialog box when choosing from the menu is pretty small, with small type. Can these field input boxes be made larger with larger, more readable text?
For example, when I'm doing Find/Replace in MS Word, the input field boxes are very small, even though I have a 20" monitor.
You know, the boxes you could select so that iTunes would skip the track? Because right now I'm editing the songs to be one second long, I'd rather just uncheck the box.
I have an Intel iMac with OS X 10.5.8. Have been running with Hard Disks and External Disks "Show on Desktop" as unchecked and "Show hidden files and folders" unchecked, and in Windows, renamed the Windows HD Disk" to ".Windows HD Disk". All has worked fine for over a year. All of a sudden, the .Windows HD Disk is on the desktop, as well as the .DS_Store folder. The other hard disks do not display. Despite checking and unchecking the various boxes, and running Onyx, can't make the two icons go away.
Under Safari-Preferences-Passwords, there is a list of my online passwords. How can I copy the contents of that dialog box and paste it into a printed document that I can put away in a safe place?
As the picture below, my system password dialog box is showing as all symbols, with no readable text. This isn't program dependant, it happens for everything. Is there any way to fix this?
Since some time I can't overwrite files in finder. When I try to copy a file from one to another window by dragging or cmd+v there should be a dialog window with the question if I want to overwrite them.
I had a notes section under mailboxes in mail. Within this notes section I had several named mailboxes that I used to store various emails. They are now missing from my mac when I converted to Maverick. I still have them on my iPhone.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, some fonts are displaying as rows of A's in boxes, both in mail (in the body copy and any attachments) and on web pages I visit. How do I overcome this?

Just yesterday Safari repeatedly malfunctioned when accessing secure (SSL?) site drop-down boxes while trying to pay utility bills online. The boxes drop down, the desired selection can be highlighted, but when the cursor is lifted, the change is NOT made, the beach ball spins, Safari quits. Every time. On several different sites. Data can be entered in the blank spaces, but using the drop-down boxes results in a stall, then quit.
These type of tasks were accomplished as recently as the day before. Other Safari functions (browsing, youtube etc) seem to work. Firefox works in all areas.

I was trying to fix something with the tabs in Safari (they kept reloading/refreshing every time I clicked back on one) and so I unchecked "Use multi-process windows" under the debug menu. However, now a lot of the links on websites appear as a bunch of A's inside little boxes (that sounds weird so I've included a picture below as an example) I feel like maybe trying to fix the tabs issue simply complicated things and now it's difficult to navigate on some sites
The last time my Mac Mail account quit due to the Imap plug-in problem, I realized it was my Icloud was on for mail. I had turned it off. Now I'm having the same Imap plug-in issue. But I can't get to my Internet accounts nor Icloud, since it couldn't load the preference pane. I've done the diagnostic tests before and haven't heard back from Support all summer.
When I open iMail i get the spinning beach ball and then it quits. It seems to be that it is trying to load a specific message and I don't know how to clear that one message and let the others still load.
I'm a new safari user. in firefox, for example when I've searched "bacon" on one site, if I search it again on other website, bacon would show in the dropdown when I type "b." but in safari that's not the case. "bacon" only shows up on the website that I've searched it on. the same with forms. I have to type my e-mail on every website. it's tiring.
In Mavericks... Is there any way to close the windows of application (when quitting - ie System Preferences => General) BUT not have this affect the finder application.
I want the windows I have opened in the finder to remain opened, but everything else to close upon quitting
I bought a new mac today and installed osx again... even though it comes installed, from that point i now can not get into safari and it keeps unexpectedly quitting instantly. what should i do, did i already mess up the computer bad?
The problem started yesterday, the software does this about every half hour to an hour or so, a box pops up and says Safari quitted unexpectedly whiling using emergencyrecoverysystem.tmp, the problem is, this so called file does not even exist!! I used Easyfind trying to locate this file, but it's no where to be found. Did I get the virus or something?
My Safari keeps quitting unexpectedly (every 20 minutes or so), "while running" okto something .tmp plug-in. I have no idea what this plug-in is and cannot locate it on my computer to delete it.
