How to force AMSN to open in 2nd monitor only?

Hi
I've been trying to force amsn to only open on my 2nd monitor with no success. Other programs, such as iTunes, Mac MSN messenger all stay on that monitor but amsn always reverts back to primary.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks for your help.

If you want to save the tabs in multiple windows in the sessionstore.js file when you close Firefox then you have to use the Firefox Exit/Quit menu item or button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button to close all open windows at once.
Otherwise you only save the tabs in the last closed window and you may have to look for History > Recently Closed Windows or "History > Restore Previous Session" to reopen closed window.

    Templates always open on 2nd monitor. Any fix?

    Check to make sure that your 2nd monitor is not setup as the primary monitor. I have 2 monitors as well and primary is on my left and 2nd on right. Take a look in the system pref to see if thats the case. have you tried swaping the cables on the video card?

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • 2 apps...1 new, 1 old.  How to force docs to open in old app...

    Greetings...
    We've installed Quark 7 for testing purposes, but still want all Quark docs to open in Quark 6.5 by default. But of course double-clicking them forces them to open in v7.
    We've tried doing the whole "Get Info -> Open With -> Change all" method, and the Get Info dialog automatically reverts back to Quark 7.
    I realize it probably has something to do with the launch services cache, and was wondering if there was terminal command or something that can be done with the Plist Editor to change this.

    I'm not familiar with Quark, but I think how it generally works is that when an application is selected in "Open with" and set to be the default for a given kind of file, it is the 'CFBundleIdentifier' that is recorded. If more than one application has the same 'CFBundleIdentifier', then the document is opened with the application with the matching 'CFBundleIdentifier' that has the highest 'CFBundleVersion' and I don't know if that aspect can be changed.
    If it is an application that tolerates some tinkering (Quark might not be), then it might be possible either to change the test version's 'CFBundleIdentifier', or modifying its 'CFBundleVersion' lower or higher depending on how you want it to behave...

  • Logic always opens on 2nd monitor!

    Hi,
    I am using Logic Studio 9.0.1 under SnowLeopard. I have the annoying problem that my Logic always opens on my 2nd monitor, even when I create a new project.
    How can I change this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Plugin opening on 2nd monitor

    I have a 2nd monitor hooked up to my Macbook pro. I have the mixer on the 2nd monitor however whenever I open a plugin for the first time it always opens on the laptop screen, even though I open it from the mixer on the second monitor. Once I move the plugin to the 2nd screen it then always opens there. How do I change this behavior so that the plugins default to the second monitor? Thanks.

    I use my Apple Cinema Display as my primary monitor. I do use the application frame though do not HAVE to. But I then have used all the pallets that I can open and have dragged them onto my laptop. So I can then use the F key to go to full screen on my ACD and still use the tab key to see all the pallets but can keep them on the laptop screen and use anytime during editing. This is the only way I can figure out how to have a full screen image and the tools on the other scree, the laptop.
    I then use the F key only to go to a toolbar that may have some options needed. Like changing sponge from saturate to desaturate.
    This seems to work the best. I then saved this desktop arrangement as Dual Monitor and can go to Essential or anything else when needed.
    Hope that helps...

  • FF always opens in 2nd monitor

    I have dual monitors and occasionally set my 2nd monitor as the primary when testing software. On reverting back to use my 1st monitor as primary (using display settings) I find FF disregards the changed setting and always opens on the second monitor. Reboot does not resolve the problem. All other apps open in primary.
    Any way to resolve this?

    Maybe it was fixed in newer versions of Firefox? You are using Firefox 3.5.
    If you see that Firefox 3.6 has the same problem, read [https://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/basic+troubleshooting this] and, if you see it's a bug with Firefox, file a bug at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org bugzilla], if it hasn't been filed before.

  • Preview opens in 2nd monitor

    I have a 2nd monitor above my main monitor.
    Whenever Preview opens a file, it puts it on the 2nd screen.....only when it is placed "above" the main. Sides and bottom work fine.
    Trashed caches, preferences, permissions, etc. Obviously, I have moved the monitor arrangement.
    (I have seen this issue on the boards, but no one answers the question.)

    That was the first thing I did. And it should have worked.
    I also

    expanded->expanded->Quit.
    swapped Main monitors(switched where the menu bar shows up)
    nada.

  • How to force links to open in a new tab everytime?

    Hi,
    I don't want to have to hold down buttons on my keyboard. When I click a link I wish it to always open in a new tab window like it does for me in internet exploder. How do I accomplish this in Safari?
    Thank you for your time.

    I'll never get used to having to use a hotkey to get something to show up in a new tab, that much I can say for certain. And I've not yet moved completely away from IE. IE unfortunately has activeX scripts that some automobile manufacturers internal sites use that I must access daily and they only work with the I.E. browser, so even trying to go to their sites with a browser like Safari only produces a page that says you must be using the latest I.E. browser due to bla bla bla.
    Its hard to make the switch 100% when your up against these huge auto mfg's that wont be switching to any other browser anytime soon. Even trying to use some browsers that spoof the site into thinking they are the latest I.E. browser does no good since they can't use the activex controls on the pages.
    I also severely miss having my mouse gestures. I use them extensively in I.E. to navigate back and forth and to close windows etc. Has anybody seen any mouse gestures for safari yet? I could use them more than having windows open in new tabs even. Also safari is still a bit unstable, I've had it crash about 5 times tonight, compared to Internet Exploder which crashes about once per day.

  • 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.

  • How to force safari to open a new window when dock icon is clicked

    If Safari is already running on my MacBook Yosemite, and I click on the Safari icon in the dock, the Safari window is brought forward.  The behavior  I want is whenever I click the safari icon on the dock, is that a new safari browser window is opened.  I don't see this option in preferences (or any keyboard  mouse combination) that would make the dock icon open a new browser window.    (an option is available for new windows if you click on a hyperlink, but not if you click on the dock icon) .
    p.s. And I don't want to first  have to place focus on the current running safari and then click File New...too many steps when all I want is a new browser window
    Thanks in advance

    Hi css,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to click on Safari in your Dock and have it open a new Safari Window. As you said in your post, clicking on Safari in the Dock brings the Safari window forward. There are a couple of possibilities to help resolve this situation. You can control-click (right click if enabled) on Safari in your Dock which will give you the option to open a new window. You can also click and hold on Safari, otherwise known as Press, to display these same options.

There you can turn magnification and hiding on or off, change the position of the Dock on screen, and change the minimization effect. Choose Dock Preferences to see more options.

  • Cannot force Pages to open in primary monitor

    Numbers and Keynote will always open in the primary monitor; however, Pages refuses to do so. I am out of ideas and was hoping someone in this forum may have a similar experience (or a resolution)! I've tried clicking the plus, moving the window to the primary and closing all to no avail. My secondary monitor is actually situated above my primary and when things open up there, I have a long trek to pull it back down to the primary. This issue occurred in Leopard 10.5 and continues in Snow Leopard 10.6.
    Any help is most appreciated! Thanks, Jim

    Hi,
    I'm not aware to force this behaviour, but if it is a regular link you can drag the link onto the same tab heading you are currently looking at. Obviously this won't work for form submissions where there is no link to drag as such

  • Audio edit window opens in '2nd monitor' and there is NO 2nd monitor!

    Hi,
    Often when I work from home I use two monitors. When I travel and don't have access to a second screen I make do. However, I've ran into a huge issue! Whenever I choose to edit or add audio, it opens on a second monitor even when I'm not attatched to one! The window is off screen and unreachable. I usually have to do my best to find another monitor I can plug and unplug into. That fixes the issue. For the mean time I'm not able to do anything to the main Captivate screen. Is this an issue somewhere in settings? and/or what can I do so I don't have to force quite my project (can't save with audio window open).
    Windows 8
    Captivate Version 7

    Hi there
    Unfortunately because the way Adobe writes their applications, this dialog doesn't have a menu as one would see in a Microsoft application. So this nifty little trick is useless with Captivate.

  • How to force a page break if report is only one page long

    Hi all.
    I've been asked to ensure an XMLP report is always 2 pages long, even if the data fits on one page. Does anyone know if it is possible with the Word Add-in to check if a report is only 1 page long and get it to force a page break for the extra page?
    Thanks for your time,
    Joy

    Hello Joy,
    We are working on a bi report that has duplex printing and facing the issue in skipping an extra page when printing multiple people at the same time.
    Please let us know did you already have a solution for this.
    Thanks in advance for your time and solution.

  • How to force Windows Mobile Professional device to use only Wi-fi network provisioned through Afaria 7 SP4

    We are deploying Windows Mobile Professional devices on our environments.
