Anyone know why the Finder in OS X disappears while running Firefox?

Finder disappears while using Firefox, but is viewable with Safari. Anyone have any solutions?

This is basic Mac understanding. The Finder does not quit, it is backgrounded each time you start, or switch to, another application, and resumes foreground status when you follow one of the choices below.
In your example, Firefox is running (application or version doesn't matter). You want to open a Finder window. Your choices are:
Click a mouse button anywhere on your desktop background to make Finder current. Finder keyboard commands now also work because you also have keyboard focus.
In the current application, press command+tab to see all running application icons. If Finder is already highlighted, you can press return, or if not, use mouse or arrow buttons to select it.
Move your mouse to the Dock and click on the Finder icon.

Does anyone know why the waveform peak detect function provides accurately the position of the peaks but not the value?

Does anyone know why the waveform peak detect function provides accurately the position of the peaks but not the value?
I have been looking at my data at the position indicated by the function as a peak, and it is correct at that place the wave has its peak, but the value provided by the function is higher than the actual value at that point.

The help makes it clear that the VI will make a quadratic fit to the data, so the locations are not integers (i.e. not aligned with you exact data). From that analysis, the peak is between two of your points, and slightly above the neighboring data.
See the coercion dot. Make the "locations" array DBL (Why did you change it to I64, that makes no sense at all!)
Quote from the help:
"Locations contains the index locations of all peaks or valleys detected in the current block of data. Because the peak detection algorithm uses a quadratic fit to find the peaks, it actually interpolates between the data points. Therefore, the indexes are not integers. In other words, the peaks found are not necessarily actual points in the input data but may be at fractions of an index and at amplitudes not found in the input array."
All clear?

"flying blind."
"You totally lost me there, and I have no clue as to what your last question means."
"I think I now know what you mean."
Evidently language is of difficulty for you.
Perhaps the Oxford dictionary can provide you with your much needed “sensible, meaningful” content.
According to the Oxford dictionary, a dialogue is to "Take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem." It also states that a dialogue is "A discussion between two or more people or groups, especially one directed toward exploration of a particular subject or resolution of a problem.”
That IS the inherent nature of posts. A conversation is reciprocation. Questions, followed by more questions.
It is not difficult to understand.
"how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers" is best actualized by simply asking.
Is it a Mac; is it not, etc.
That IS sufficient. That IS "quicker and better answers[ing]." That IS what a dialogue IS. And that IS actually what is "sensible," "meaningful," and "detailed."
The Oxford dictionary can best delineate and elucidate your lack of comprehension in what ACTUALLY “meaning” is.
As well as what is "sensible" AND "detailed."
By the way, am I being repetitive.
Still confused. Let the experts that do not require much explanation respond with "quicker and better answers" for both "sensible, complete" responses." They are not "lost," "blind," or provide "incomplete" drivel.

Does anyone know why my finder window resizes when I enter time machine?

Can anyone explain why my finder changes size when I enter time machine? I'm pretty sure this didn't happen on Snow Leopard but it does since I installed Lion. It's only a small glitch but it's rather annoying since I have positioned and resized the finder window on my desktop to the place I want it - in the centre of the screen and showing all the folders in my sidebar list. When I enter time machine the finder window becomes shorter, therefore not showing all the sidebar folders. I wouldn't mind if when I exit time machine it reverts back to the way it was but it doesn't so I have to resize over again!
Anyone know why this happenes?

Take a snapshot of this issue and send it to Apple. I think it may be a small glitch.

Distribution rights and their management can be a tricky subject around the world. So depending on where you are, the distribution rights might have been removed for the iTunes store where you are.

Does anyone know why the tutorials are now 30 minutes instead of an hour? When I purchased the program after buying my iMac it was $100 for 1 year for tutorials of 30 to 60 minutes???

I am very disappointed that the length of the tutorials offered at my Apple Store have been reduced from 60 minutes to 30 minutes! As for the $100.00 fee charged for the tutorials it has not been reduced to $50.00 This was an option offered to me for a year when I purchased my iMac.
Does anyone know why???
Thanks in advance....

No need to apologise. As a newbie, it is easy to stray out of line but it is clear that was not your intention.
This is a technical forum, as has been written, but you are not alone in raising issues in the way you have.
Do not be deterred; just re-read the terms and conditions when you have a moment.
Hopefully this will help for the future.

Does anyone know why the text preview still shows in notification center when show preview is turned off in settings

I have my text message preview turned off for notification center but text preview still shows anyone know a way to fix this problem

Have you tried a reset. This will not affect your data, it is just like rebooting your computer. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if that will help.

HT5295 I have read the other comments of others with the same problem of downloading podcasts and submitted my comment,but there is still no fix to the problem.Does anyone know why the trouble has not been taken care of?Who is the person dealing with this

the podcast app is not fixed still wont download,did not find any solutions with anyones comments,they all have the same problem with this app.So how can you say the problem is fixed,get someone who knows how to really do something so it is not a recurring topic of frustration!!!!!

You might get more replies to this (but not from Apple, who you will recall, do not monitor these discussions) if you had posted in the Podcasts for iOS discussions, but never mind. At least in this post you've mentioned that your problem is with the Podcast App, something you didn't mention in your previous post. Consequently, my comments were based on "problems downloading Podcasts", not "problems with the new Podcast App".
(I don't use the new Podcast App, since I cannot install iOS 5 on my Touch. So I stick with the older method of listening to Podcasts on my iPod.) That said however...
It cannot have escaped Apple's attention that the new Podcast App has not been well received. Although these discussions tend to focus on what's wrong rather than what's right, it does appear that the App hasn't been well thought out.
In particular, the Auto Play feature, which - once an episode has finished playing, the "next most recent unplayed episode" will begin. Now, maybe I'm wrong but to me that means that it plays the Podcasts in reverse date order, so episode 19 will play after episode 20 and episode 18 after ep.19! That is how the iPod Classic plays Podcasts by default and the Classic forum is littered with posts from people who think this is barmy. (I think it's barmy too!)
I use an iPod Touch as well. Although not perfect, playing Podcasts on the Touch is far easier than on a Classic.
You are unlikely to find any "solutions" to the issues with the Podcast App, because the "solution" is for Apple to redesign it.
If you are assuming that the update of 25th july is a claim that it's fixed... oh dear! I notice that the App views, shown in the Store, still include that "tortoise and hare" screen with what appears to be the transport mechanism for a reel-to-reel tape deck. That alone tells me there is no real improvement to the App. It really is the worst graphic Apple have ever produced! I'll be surprised if anyone under 35 recognises that graphic as a reel-to-reel tape deck.
Actually, I have a question for you.
If you have the Podcast App installed on your Touch, does that mean that the previous method of listening to Podcasts has been removed from your iPod, or can you still access them in the Music App? If you can, abandon the Podcast App and use the old method. If not, please warn me in order that I don't purchase a new iPod Touch until Apple fix this!
Sorry I can't be the bearer of more positive news.

Does anyone know why the majority of the songs on iTunes cost $1.29 ?

I am definitely not a novice when it comes to iTunes but i noticed that the majority of the songs are $1.29 instead of .99 cents. Does anyone have a reasonable explanation for this? I never thought of asking until now. Will it ever go back to to the original prices prior to two years ago?

Here is an article submitted by Apple in 2009 - http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/01/06Changes-Coming-to-the-iTunes-Store.htm l
There is also an excellent explanation as to why this change occurred and it is just what i expected.
Why change now?
For years, the four biggest record companies have clamored for more control over pricing on iTunes. Apple relented, presumably in exchange for the right to sell songs stripped of copy protection software.
The big question is what the new prices will mean for Apple and the music industry.
After doing numerous tests, the big labels are confident that music fans will pay $1.29 for hit songs, according to industry sources. But in these uncertain times, determining what kind of revenue this might generate is unclear, the sources said. The recording industry is hoping that charging 30 cents less for older titles than iTunes' traditional 99-cent standard will reinvigorate sales.
It must be noted that most of the prices on iTunes are unchanged or reduced. Brad Stone at The New York Times found that of the 100 best-selling songs, only 33 are now selling for $1.29.
Of course, the music industry is trying to make up for dwindling CD sales and the losses from illegal file sharing. A lot of digital-music fans see the struggles of the recording companies as self-inflicted. They are unlikely to dig deeper into their pockets just to help the industry.
Music fans likely will do what they have always done; pay for those songs they value. Most certainly, they will vote on iTunes' new pricing with their dollars."
