How do I keep iMessage from going to the upper right and out of sight?

Imessage in Mavericks at random, on sleep, and when minimized,  goes to upper right on the screen and I cant get it back. Even Mission control can not access it.  I have close iMessage and restart. How do I keep it from going to the upper right and out of sight?

Hi,
I think a  Screen Shot will help.
Use the CMD+shift+4 and then decribe around the area when you see the cross hairs.
To Post here use the Camera icon in the reply screen and then select/navigate to the Screen Shot (normally on your Desktop) and select it.
Then use the Insert Image button.
I don't use Sleep so I can't speak to that.
Minimise should put it in the DOCK.
Do you mean coming out of Minimise ?
Actually where is your DOCK  (mine is at the bottom and I nearly forgot other people have it in different places)
If it is on the right is the Finder icon top of the icons ?
If the windows of an App are minimised then it does not appear in Mission Control (some of this is mixed with normal behaviour).

    hello - How do I attach my personal photo in the upper right hand corner of the emails I send out?

    The photos displayed by Mail.app are retrieved from the contents of your address book; from your contacts.
    The photos are local to Mail.app, and are not sent out as part of the messages.

    I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree.  The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

    A couple of suggestions that may help:
    - Make sure you've made the left-hand column as wide as possible by grabbing the divider between the column and the Library grid view.
    - You can hide a parent folder from the display by right-clicking it and selecting Hide This Parent. This will shift all the child folders to the left.

  • How can I disable iMessages from going to my iMac?

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Since then, iMessages won't be delivered to my iPhone. They always get delivered to my iMac. This is especially annoying because I'm not home most of the day and texting is a primary means of communications, particularly with my better half.
    I have quit Messages on my desktop, but iMessages still get delivered to Messages on the desktop. I took my desktop offline (no Internet connectivity), and iMessages just get queued in the cloud somewhere until I get home and bring my desktop online again. Nothing but regular text messages go to my iPhone. I have even disabled my Apple account in Messages on the desktop, but iMessages are still being delivered there. I never had this problem prior to Mountain Lion.
    My better half, also with an iMac and iPhone, doesn't have any of these problems. I have verified that all the settings are the same between his and my desktops and iPhones. But I still have the problem. I don't use Messages on my dekstop and have no interest in receiving messages there.
    Is there a way that I can disable iMessages from going to my desktop or otherwise limit iMessages to only my iPhone? Please help!

    OK, problem solved. I think the issue is that I was a .mac account holder turned MobileMe turned iCloud (and still getting screwed over apparently). My Apple ID is @mac.com, but my email address is @me.com when Apple forced us all over. Messages on my desktop was set up with my mac.com Apple ID, while Messages on my phone was set up with my me.com email address. I went into appleid.apple.com and merged my primary email address and Apple ID to the mac.com address. I logged out of Messages on both the desktop and phone, logged back in with my Apple ID, and then had to delete the conversations from both my and my other half's iPhones.
    Interestingly, it took about five minutes for both phones to delete the conversations, and the phones were completely unresponsive during this time. After that, I sent a text (iMessage) from my other half's phone to mine, and voila! It works. Apparently @mac.com does not equal @me.com... Apple sees them separately. What a nightmare, but I'm glad it's working now.

    Thanks for repling '''TheOldFox'''. ...''"A database of malware and phishing sites known to Google is maintained in your Profile folder. "''...
    I did deselect and disable those phishing and malware updates to see if they were the issue. I was trying to experiment, if it would still call back to Google.
    Apparently Google is trying to maintain this for "web security" and developers of Firefox work together to code the browser so it checks at a pre-designated site. After one connect, the list of malicious, bad and ominous web sites are put like a data file in our profile for each browser. The browswer already has the last 20k to 30000 bad websites in it, and so there is no need go back to Google at browser-start, to check or refresh this list at each start-up (especially if the end user is only going to browse the same websites the day or hour before).
    I can understand going back once a week, every three days or once a month (after the first contac), '''but at each point of start-up, it is not necessary. '''
    '''Traditionally, end users are give the option to do this on their own.''' I would like this option restored if possible in Firefox browser. Why does Firefox and Google try to deprive the user of this choice? I makes it run like spyware runs, by causing users to go and report to Google, each time they start their profile/web-browser.
    I have always thought, programs that did this without announcement, or giving users a choice (even under a banner like "national security," or "for your own good"), were just as capable of giving a false information to get the users to not care if they are being spied on.
    TheOldFox, I have read your reply and do not wish to be disrespectful, but you are almost like that happy insurance salesman who is trying to warn of a flood, even 8000 feet above sea level: When talking with the majority of people, 92 out of a 100 might live at sea level or in flat valleys under a mountain run off; a big storm drops a lot of water and all the creeks rise out of their beds; widdening the rivers soon thereafter. But for the person living above 8000 feet, that water is usually rushing down so fast that it channels and carries itself away quickly. [[(They have no need for flood insurance and to pay that extra for prevention, because their house is built on a big rock. But the salesman cannot see that when talking to a large group, and always has to try to sell the flood-insurance package; and it is up for the buyer to refuse to buy it.) This is to say, you may be a good salesman but I know how to express no, in a nice and polite way.:D]]
    '''It is a type of spying on users of the web-browswer, because it does not give the user a choice and does not announce what it is doing.''' Nor does it explain what it is doing (in user docs) after you disable those options even as an experiment, and it is still "phoning home" ...
    So why does it still do this, to Google? Why does it not go back to firefox or mozilla?
    I am guessing, it has something to do with monitoriing what each user is using in the way of add-ons, so that developers can keep tabs on how popular an add-on is.
    My questions is still open. I want to learn how to stop this from occuring ('''at each and every start up'''). Please help.
    {{{TheOldFox, I will read those links and see if that helps and post back here later. For now question is still open. Thank you. }}}

    I'm having the exact same problem with a 3 year old dual 2.5GHz G5. Computer wakes up and no signal, must re-select and all is good....but it's a pain! I called up Apple tech support and they told me to go into the Network panel of System Preferences and delete all the old networks "locations." Then when you try to join the network again you are forces to create a new "location" complete with entering in the base station password. I did this and things got quite a bit better. But I'm still finding the problem about half the time. Weird, huh? So I went just now to look at my settings and I had the "By default, join:" pull down menu set to "preferred networks." Maybe that was the problem. I just switched it to "Automatic" for both the "By default, join:" as well as the "Location:". We shall see! I was going to put up with this behavior for a couple weeks until I saw your post, thus prompting me to fiddle around with the settings again. Either that, or wait for an AirPort Extreme (n) updater to fix this bug with the G5's.

  • APERTURE TETHERING: How do I prevent Aperture from going to the most recent shot.

    I'm planning on a photo day (kinda like a school portrait) for my company and will be using a D700 tethered to a Mac running Aperture.
    Currently when I take a photo, the person at the computer doesn't have enough time to enter the name of the subject in the metadata window before I've moved on and taken a photo of the next subject. Once I've captured the image a new image, Aperture quickly jumps to the new photo, interupting the naming process. Is there a setting I can change in Aperture 3.1.2 that prevents Aperture from jumping to the most recent shot.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think what spikeyjonze was trying to say is you deselect Auto Select , not that you blow up Aperture
    Succinctness is a virtue but some times we can have to much of a good thing

  • HT1553 how do you keep imac from going to sleep during disk utility backup ?

    using the install DVD I am attempting to create a disk image backup with the Disk Utility app.  However the imac goes to slepp every 10 minutes. eventually causing an error.
    I found the commands to use on the commandline in terminal, However I can not use terminal and Disk Utility app at the same time from the install DVD.
    I am using moutian lion install usb drive.
    The Snow Leopard install DVD could not handle the 3 TB enternal harddive where the backup will be placed, before I do a clean install of Mountain Lion.

    this seems to be an issue in (mountain lion?) disk util - actually the second bug that I know of now.
    I am having the same issue whilst using zeroDIsk - however the system going to standy seems to slow the task down, it hasn't failed yet.
    From what  I can see caffeinate will solve the issue (in mountain lion)

  • How can I stop iMessages from going to *all* of our devices?

    As many households do, we share the same AppleID so that we can share apps and information easily.  With iOS5, now we iMessage each other for free, BUT all other iMessages that we send to other iOS5 users are also blasted out to all other iOS5 devices.  My husband doesn't want to see all my texts to other people, but now there is NO WAY to send a normal text to other iOS5 users...it will only go out as an iMessage.  Is the only solution to get a separate AppleID for my husband and then buy all of our apps again for him?  That would be a huge pain, essentially requiring him to erase his iPhone and iPad and start over.  Or do I disable iMessages for him?  Is there any way to distinguish between different users within the same AppleID?

    Everyone can still use the same Apple ID. What you need to do is go into - "Settings" , "Messages", "Receive At", and add a different Email for each user for where they can be reached for messages at. Once you have added a new Email to each device delete the original Email that was there which should have been the same as your Apple ID. Then when you send a new message, send the message to the Email for that person that was just added to their iPhone. There is no need for each family member to create their own Apple ID just to use iMessage. Each family member would only need to create their own Apple ID if everyone wanted to use iCloud and not have all family members data, contacts, calendars, etc sync together. If you are also using FaceTime between iPhones do the the same thing in the FaceTime settings.

  • How do I keep it from bringing up the Firefox page everyday & saying "Hooray! Your Firefox is up to date"? I don't need to know this everyday...

    When Firefox upgrades you usually get the page that says "Hooray! Your Firefox is up to date". Then that's it, until the next upgrade. I keep getting this EVERYDAY, along with the homepage I have bookmarked. I don't need to see this everyday & I see no way to disable it. It comes up even though I have updates and "Check that Firefox is your browser" disabled.

    Hi,
    Try this: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox|Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]] .

  • How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?

    Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?

  • How do I keep iPhone from dropping flagged messages ?

    I have flagged airline e-tickets, museum reservations, etc. on my iPhone inbox, and they disappear aftetr a few days to a week or more.  Where can I find them,or how do I keep them from disappearing ?  The only thing I do is to resend them from my computer, flag them again, and they disappear again.
    Any clues and any help would be appreciated !!

    Addemdum-
    I forgot to mention that I have 1000 messages checked  and  alert me before deleting messages.  Is there some magic time that flagged messages disappear in to cyberspace ?
    Someone told me on an e-mail that she puts flagged messages in a folder.  I can find nothing in the iPhone
    manual about doing this, or even making a folder for messages.  Can someone enlighten me ?

    The 1st and 2nd gen shuffles do not have an automatic syncing mode, like later shuffles and the "big" iPods.  It is maintained manually (or by using the Autofill feature).
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
    To add songs to the shuffle...  Show a list of songs in the iTunes window.  For example, you can select Music under LIBRARY (in the sidebar) to show your complete iTunes music library list.  Select a song and drag it to the shuffle in the sidebar.  You can do this with more than one song selected.  Alternately, select the song(s), right-click the selection, and choose the command to Add to Playlist -> [name of iPod].
    To remove songs from the shuffle...  Select the shuffle in the sidebar.  To the right, it's Settings screen is shown.  Toward the top, where it says Settings, click on On This iPod (to the right).  The list of songs on the shuffle is shown below.  Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard.  You can do this with more than one song selected. 
    NOTE:  At the bottom of the shuffle's list of songs, there are controls for the Autofill feature.  You can also use Autofill to fill your shuffle from your music library or from a specific playlist.
