Small window appears in Mission Control but no where else...

I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not, but I couldn't figure out what was going on so I figured it was worth posting. For some reason, I just noticed that when I enter mission control it looks like there's a small white window open in Desktop 1, but there are no applications running or anything and nothing is visible when Desktop 1 is active.
I've attached a screenshot. If anyone knows why this is happening or if I should be concerned, please chime in. Thanks

It's caused by Drobo Dashboard's menu item.

  • How do I get rid of blank pdf windows that appear in mission control? My adobe acrobat program isn't even open.

    Everytime I go into mission control I see blank pdf windows. I can't get rid of them except when I restart my computer. Otherwise I have to put them all into 1 desktop in mission control so they don't clutter my other desktops. The windows only appear in mission control and not in the actual active desktop. I've tried closing any open application that uses pdfs but that doesn't help. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    Hi Bill,
    I came to the problem this morning with a fresh perspective and have solved the problem: I realized the text was in Cambria, so I changed it to the dependable Times New Roman. I created the PDF and NO pound signs appeared scattered around in the PDF.
    Ay, fonts!
    Thanks for replying, and have a great day!

    It's almost certainly too late.
    The time to create a backup is before a catastrophe.  After a catastrophe, it's too late.

  • IMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked.

    Can't open iMovie. iMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked. It just disappears up in the top left corner of the screen. The controls on the top of the screen (like; iMovie, File, Edit, View, Text, Share, etc) are al there, and they seem to work, but the window just won't show up.
    It happened after installing Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro.
    Any ideas?

    Disable screen saver. Restart.

  • Cannot access safari but a small window appears on screen, cannot power off or restart

    While on safari, it closed but has left a small window of page i was surfing, I cannot power-off ipad and will not let me go on safari or access anything

    Close Safari and reboot your iPad. If you cannot close Safari or navigate to the home screen, just try the reboot described below.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari if you don't see it, and then swipe "up" on the app thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Documents visible in mission control but won't open

    I am having difficulty accessing open files.
    When I attempt to open a power point presentation from the Finder, power point opens, and I can see the file opening but then nothing appears.
    When I then go to mission control I can see the images of all the power point presentations I've been working on, but when I try to click on any of them my desktop opens but none of the powerpoint files are there.
    Does anyone have any idea how or where I have hidden them?
    They are completely inaccessible right now, even though they are all visible in the mission control window.
    Thanks for any help!
    I'm using a Macbook Air, Lion 10.7 and Office for Mac 2011

    Try this:
    Right-click the Powerpoint icon in the dock and choose:
    Options > Assign to Desktop > None

  • Is there any way to make windows "sticky" in mission control?

    If I have several applications open, then invoke mission control, then click on a window to select it, the windows are in a different position the next time I invoke mission control.  This is like trying to hit a moving target, or as I sometimes refer to it,  "musical windows".  I've tried checking and uncheckng the mission control options in system preferences, but the windows still move all over.  Is there any way to make windows "sticky"?  What I would prefer ideally is that each group of windows remains in the same location, then new ones are added after.  I find it frustrating to have to scan mission control and locate the window I want, which is always being moved.
    -Thanks

    Go to Intel Download Center and select the 3000/4000 driver.
    you may need to uninstall the current driver if it won't install on its own

  • Small windows appear and disappear quickly

    Hello,
    Too often when I'm using my MBP, small windows (dialog boxes) appear and disappear very quickly. I don't know what application generated them, and they usually disappear before I get a chance to read them. Is there a way for me to see what program generated these windows and what where they about? I assume it should be in one of the logs in Console, but I don't know which one.
    If it helps at all, the programs I most oten use are iTerm2, Chrome, and MacVim. Googling around didn't show any specific issues regarding these apps.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    That sounds like Growl. Have a look here for how to manage it

  • What plugin or what else use to make cool small window appear when I move on to a link, displaying content of that link on en.wikipedia

    Hi,
    On my previous computer, I had cool feature on my Firefox working on en.Wikipedia.
    When I moved mouse coursor over link, automatically window appear with content of that link. Link was to wikipedia.
    This windows was realy cool, cause I could move it, or click "more" so more content was displayed on this window. I could display few such windows on one page I was currently. I could move each where ever I wounted.
    So beeing on one page on en.wikipedia I could see explanation of words used in this page, also used from wikipedia, just moving over this word, which was link, and I could display few such windows, that I could move through whole page.
    I used older version of Firefox, on different computer, on Windows Vista laptop.
    I searched for such plugin, but I couldn't find it. I find one kind a similar, QuickWiki, but much simpler, and much less functional.
    I don't know how to find it. It was valuable tool for me. I used a lot of Wiki. Using this tool my job was much easier, as I didn't have to go to new page each time I wan't to check meaning of that word.
    Please, help me if you know what to do or what tool to use.
    Best regards,
    Artur

    Thanx :) It's even more than I wanted.
    I can see web page in small window, without opening new tab, just moving my mouse over a link. Cool, really usefull. Thank you.

  • Apps show in mission control but won't open after it has gone to screen saver

    I have three desk tops open on Mission Control, plus dash board. If I leave the computer and come back later and go to the desk top there is nothing there. When I click on the app it shows it is open, but just flashes and then it is gone. I have set the app, under options, to be on a particular desktop. I have to close out the app and reopen it to see it.

    Disable screen saver. Restart.

  • Icons instead of windows shown in mission control

    On Mission Control, sometimes I see icons instead of windows - as shown in the screenshot.

    What I have observed is that if I activate Mission Control via swiping or F3, 3 out of 10 times, it would show me something like the screenshot. Other times, it shows windows - as is expected.

  • How do I delete unused window spaces in Mission Control with Mountain Lion?

    When I open an application to full-window size (opening a new "space" in mission control), the "space" does not close when I terminate the application.  Instead, the space remains blank.  There are no options to remove or open an application, and I cannot remove the empty space in mission control.  When I re-open the same program, it creates a new space.  Now I have 11 spaces and only 4 of them are usable/not blank.
    How do I delete the blank ones?

    JonRow, Look familiar?
    And when I did try and swipe through full screen apps I briefly got this. See image below. (note the menu bar icons top right)
    Before going to a blank grey screen.
    If the problem comes back I will tru the killall dock command.
    Cheers

  • Song in ipod file but no where else

    so i got my ipod to work on my new computer and the ipod file with all the songs in it is there, but now theres no file to put the songs in. (im not good at explaineing things but ill try to make this as clear as posible) you know how when your in itunes theres a bunch of files on the left side of the screen (like 90's music, top rated ect...) well i have all my songs in the ipod folder but not anywhere else. is there any way to copy them out of the ipod folder and put them into one of those other floders on the side (like the top rated file?) i hope you were able to understand that... thanks for any help

    I tried it myself, I plugged in my iPod and looked at the folder, tried to drag songs out of there into other folders...except I don't have those folders LOL. Ok, I see the songs look grayed out, can't click, can't drag. Hmmm...is it really important that you place these songs into other folders? I mean, if your songs play fine then why need folders?? Try this, where you see the iPod folder right click on it and go down to "iPod Options". A window will open with tabs on top, click "Advanced". Where it says "Copy files to iTunes music folder when added to the library", is there a check on that box?
