Software disappears off-monitor

I use a MacBook, and frequently connect it to another monitor - viewing both monitors, non-mirrored. Last week I was using iMovie, put it on the second display - and then the next time I opened iMovie without the monitor, the computer thought the second monitor was on and "shoved it" to the side - came up from the side the monitor is on (left) when I pressed F9, but I couldn't do anything with it. Next time I connected to the monitor I saw iMovie, moved it over to the laptop display - but when I restarted it got pushed to the other side of the laptop display and off-screen. So now, whether with one display or 2, iMovie opens up (appears on the menu bar) but I can't access the actual interface on the monitor. It shows up when I press F9, but disappears and I can't do anything on it. Any thoughts?
(and i have reset the display to different resolutions, I have turned mirroring on and off)
Thanks
Nate

Perhaps a "hot corner" ...
Turning screen savers on and off
You can start or deactivate your screen saver by moving the pointer to a corner of the screen. This is called setting a “hot corner.”
To set hot corners:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Desktop & Screen Saver, and then click Screen Saver.
Open the Screen Saver pane of Desktop & Screen Saver preferences
Click Hot Corners.
Choose Start Screen Saver or Disable Screen Saver from the pop-up menu for a corner you want to use; then click OK.

How can I fix a Window that disappears Off Screen

Hi,
I'm running a new installation of MAX/msp and the output window does not appear on my monitor. When I use exspose the window comes in to view but when I click on it it disappears off screen to the left, therefore I can't grab it with my mouse.
I think the problem stems from when I was using dual monitors, one of which burned out so I am now only using one.
So far I've deleted all the MAX/msp preferences that I can find.
I've looked in System Preferences - Displays - This shows that my mac only expects to see my single monitor.
I remember in OS9 there was a key command to allow you to move windows without the use of a mouse - If there's one for OSx it would probably solve my problem but I can't find it.
I'm using a G4 dual 867 OSX 10.4.7 with a SyncMaster920n monitor
Any help appreciated
James
G4 dual Mac OS X (10.4.7)

ok problem solved from within MAX
Menu: window -> alt + click window of your choice

My Adobe Photoshop 6 Disappeared off my computer leaving only Image Ready. Now my disk will not work. I have the Auth key..where can I find a copy to download?

My Adobe Photoshop 6 Disappeared off my computer leaving only Image Ready. Now my disk will not work. I have the Auth key..where can I find a copy to download?

Sorry I would not know how to score a copy of the Program disc. I would not even trust it if I did.
Photoshop is one of the most pirated software out there and in cases loaded with malware.
Ok then, create a admin account on XP, log in and try running the cd there.

My contacts just disappeared off iCloud

My contacts just disappeared off my iphone having not deleted them or fiddled with the settings. They have also deleted in a similar fashion off my Mac book pro. These seems to be because they have disappeared off my icloud. Please help!
thanks

Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If they are gone, then they are gone (is someone else using the same account as you, like a spouse or child?).
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

In normal view, half the page disappears off right of screen. in full screen this does not happen. what can be done to correct the screen ratio for normal screen?

version 5 loaded on windows 7. all went well for a while. one day while using, ratio of normal screen doubled in width; i.e. half the page disappears off the screen to the right (on a wide screen). when full screen mode applied, ratio is fine. it only happens in normal view, which is the usually prefered option. I cannot determine any means within the program to resize the normal screen. nothing else is affected, only mozilla firefox in normal view. not that when program is opened from keyboard the page is correct for a moment, then enlarges the width with 1/2 page dissappearing.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

Help! iTunes has completely disappeared off my iPhone 4s. Yes the Program, not just the app! All my music has just vanished! How do I get this back!!
(p.s. I do suspect a deletion has occurred courtesy of my 4 year old nephew, some other stuff has gone too, but beats me how he deleted a whole program!!!)

Has anyone tried emailing after the Yosemite upgrade? The size of the email pane is enormous and cannot be resized so I cannot see what I am typing as it disappears off screen to the right. This must surely be a fault?

The email window pane is huge and disappears off screen and I have not found any way to resize it. This means I cannot see what I am typing as the text disappears to the right off the screen. Only way to see what you are typing is to drag the pane to the left and then back again when the cursor moves to a new line. This surely must be a fault with the new Yosemite OS X?

Thanks, Bee! I never knew that one--it does resize the screen. But, what I want to do is resize it from the corner, or from the side, or from the top. I'd like to move it to another place on the page, if I need to. The bigger problem is that I can no longer click and drag to highlight a word or phrase, etc. Both of these things happened in Office and in Safari after I downloaded Yosemite. I feel sure that it is just some little trick like the one you suggested or some box that I need to tick to get things working like I've always known them to be. Thanks for any help you can give...

Apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back.

Hi, apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back. Spotify, Shazam, BBC iPlayer and the Maps app have just gone. I have tried to redownload them from the App Store but there isn't the option, cant get them back with iTunes either. Help!

I wish it was as simple as that. I have tried to redownload them but they are marked as installed.
I have even gone into iTunes and in the app tab untucked the disappeared apps, synced, then reticked the apps. This is where the strangest thing happens, the app appears on my iPhone, the progress bar goes from zero to the top, then, when the app should be installed, it disappears.
So far Spotify, BBC iPlayer, the Maps app, iFooty, and probably some apps I'm not aware of are affected.
Interestingly, the apps have also gone from my wife's iPhone which is on the same Apple I'd, but they haven't gone from my iPad which is also on the same Apple I'd.

I book the app has disappeared off my screen. How do I reinstall it?

Snippets Disappearing off of RoboSource Server

We are in a multiple author environment using RoboHelp 7 with
RoboSource Server. We have had problems all along using snippets.
Sometimes they would appear in an author's version of RoboHelp and
sometimes they would not. The problem has now increased though in
that the snippets are starting to physically disappear off of the
server. There appears to be no history of them at all on the
server.
I found a temporary solution. I import a blank snippet to
Robohelp that has the same name as the missing file. The snippet
file is added to the RoboSource server. I open the RoboSource
Server and look at the snippet. The history of the snippet file
that disappeared now is displayed for the newly imported snippet
file. I roll back the snippet file to the last time I checked it in
before importing. The snippet file is now restored with the correct
content.

Hello,
If you are using a MAS server then you may also be using a MAS ODBC Drvier? If so please contact Sage for support.
As a quick test, try copying over the Xtreme MDB sample database and use Microsofts Access ODBC driver to see if it is a CR issue or ODBC driver issue.
Sometimes a Repair install can fix these issues also.
And you never said what version of Cr you are using and if any patches are installed?
Thank you
Don

Everything has disappeared off of my desktop?

I started up my computer and everything has disappeared off of my desktop included my icon for my hard drive. I have performed a search and can see that they are somewhere, but not able to tell where or retrieve them. Even in these searches no HD to speak of. HELP!

Hi grandmabone and welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you go to the Finder menu and select *Finder Preferences* then select the General tab, which items are checked under *Show these items on the desktop*? If you make sure that *Hard disks* is checked, does that help?
Best of luck.

My imovie opens in the dock, but then disappears off the screen - top right hand side, What's happening?

Hi
iMovie opens in the dock, but then seems to disappear off to the top right hand side of the screen and I can't find a way of recovering it? Suggestions please

Hi
If You press cmd+tab keys (cmd = the one with a cringle) (tab = left side keyboard third row big arrow pointing to the right)
By keeping cmd-key down and stepping with tab-key You can see if the iMovie symbol show up. then release.
Did it come back ?

While running or when being minimized Firefox disappears off screen and off of menu bar ( bottom bar ) ??

When I am running firefox and minimize it ( or sometimes not even then ) it completely disappears off the screen and off the bottom menu bar, so it is still running but I am unable to see it or access it. If I open it again I would not have all my saved tabs, so the only way I have been able to deal with it so far is to open the task manager and ask it close firefox ( I cannot access the applications tab in task manager either ) then I have to reopen firefox. Needless to say this is annoying and a waste of time. It has happened since the upgrade, in fact, I have had several problems since the upgrade but it is mostly worked around. Since the upgrade it is much slower than before too.

No, I did not hit the x and firefox will still be running when I look up the processes on windows task manager it just is invisible and not on the menu bar. It is a weird problem I have never had happen before. Yeah, what you said about using the alt control and delete to access the task manager process is what I have had to do and I've had to end the process to close it and then open it again.
I would like to find a way to just bring it up again or not have it become invisible. In fact it is invisble on my menu bar right now even though i am typing in it and it is obviously running but the screen of it is visible while it is invisible on the menu bar this time. weird, I know.
