Active windows keep disconnecting and going to secondary (?), active windows keep disconnecting and going to secondary (?)

Since I installed Lion I cannot keep the active window at the front. After one second it goes back to secondary... Funny thing is that I can scroll, but I cannot write!

I sorted it out!
In my case it was due to an incomatibility issue with one of my apps.
I only had to uninstall HIPERSPACES and now it is all working smoothly!

  • How to keep the Viewer window active during cutting and inserting to timeline?

    Greetings all, I'm a football coach looking to use FCP to do my film breakdowns.  Been learning as much as I can about FCP and I've done some trial runs, so far so good, though it's a bit slow going since I am a football coach after all .  Anyhow, current issue is I want to be able to take a game film and cut it up into plays, each play is a separate clip.  I'm getting it to go fairly quickly, I have the film open in the Viewer, just mark in and out and I've been dragging the clip down to the timeline, one after the other, using the insert option.  I'm now trying to use the F9 key to have it insert to timeline without me having to drag it.  It works except the problem is that once the clip is inserted to the timeline, the Canvas window becomes the active one rather than the Viewer.  So if I keep hitting 'I' and 'O' and F9, it won't be cutting up the film since the Viewer isn't active.  As it is now I'll need to remember to click the mouse in the Viewer window after each insert in order to have that active and be able to resume my I,O,F9 routine.  Is there a way around this?  It seems like a small issue but I can't find any support on it and it could end up being a massive headache where one little slip up means a lot of wasted time.  Am I explaining this clearly and does anyone have a solution?  Any other thoughts on football video editing that people are curious about or have seen that might be helpful?  I appreciate your time,
           Grouch

    Or a third way would be (if you only cut out small pieces of the overall footage):
    Drag the whole clip in to the timeline. Mark in and out for the parts that you DON'T want.
    Hit the Delete button (if you have an extended keyboard or Shift-Backspace, if you are using a Macbook (Pro).

  • My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    Something else you can try.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop. 
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.

  • Is the a way to restore my iPhone 5 when it is no longer activated since i erased all content and data it keeps giving me this window that says my simcard is not recognizable does anyone know what to do?

    is the a way to restore my iPhone 5 when it is no longer activated since i erased all content and data it keeps giving me this window that says my simcard is not recognizable does anyone know what to do?

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

  • Windows gets rearranged in Windows 8.1 and secondary monitor when computer goes to sleep

    I have a MacBook Air 2013 with a secondary monitor installed through a mini-display port-HDMI cable. I also have bootcamp installed in Windows 8.1 64 bits with all the latest drivers installed. The problem that I have is that when the computer wakes after it goes to sleep, all the windows in the non-primary monitor moves to the primary monitor and I have to re-arranged them all over every time.
    What I tried so far:
    1. Installed the latests drivers from Microsoft and Intel HD Graphics 5000.
    2. Look for the DMMEnableDDCPolling in the registry. (not found only available for ATI cards)
    3. Change the mini-displayport-HDMI cable for a new one that doesn't transmit the "power" so that computer do not detect that the monitor was shutdown.
    4. Change the resolution on boths monitors to native resolution
    5. Change the primary display from external monitor to laptop monitor
    6. Changer HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TMM\UseIViewHelper from 1 to 0
    7. Try to get an answer from Apple, Intel and microsoft support.

    PLEASE HELP! I Don't know what else to do!
    This do not happend on MacOS, is happends only in Windows.
    Thanks, Andres Rormoser.

    The only solution that I found so far was to install Actual Window Manager, separate the secondary monitor in tiles, assign each window to each tile, add a shortcut to start/stop ActualWindowManager and every time the computer wakes up with the windows re-arranged I press the shoutcut and everything goes back to my predifined layout.

  • Windows 8.0 and Windows 10 technical review installation issues and activation message keeps poping up?

    My Dell Inspiron E1705 had Windows Vista and I could not install the Windows 10 technical review, so I installed my Windows 8.0 and then I could install the Win10 tech review.So I'm reviewing the Win10 and now I keep getting a pop up screen with Windows
    asking to activate so to get ride of the messages popping up every boot up. I am attempting to activate but when I follow the instructions to activate entering the product key from the Windows 8.0 fails. I next select call and provide your installation ID,
    this process is you call in and an automated prompt ask for your installation ID, then it gives you some numbers to enter in groups A thru H, but my screen only shows A thru G?  My concern is that if I don't activate this windows it will stop and thus
    no review of Win10.
    Should I be concerned is activation necessary, Do I re-install Win10 and start over, I feel that I may have inadvertently caused the problem when I did the initial installation it ask if I wanted to keep information from the previous installed Windows 8
    or install clean? If I don't get any other options/solutions I may just do a clean install?
    Thanks in advance for your support.
    /Joe

    Hi Joe,
    So the situation here is you upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 10, and Windows 10 can't be activated?
    There is no need to activate Windows 10 in the Technical Preview period, and if you have issue activating Windows, you may try to run:
    1. Open Administrative command prompt (Windows key+x > A)
    2. Type: SLUI 3
    3. Enter the product key listed on the download site.
    And if you still get the activation issue, please contact Microsoft local license support team for further assistance.

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • Is there a way to keep the checkmark or initials (Sign toolbar) active so that I can check a whole list of items without going back and forth to the button?

    There is another way to "popup" the screen. Mute and then

  • Scroll bar goes crazy and active window jumps around in size - Help

    I've got iTunes 7.0.5 installed. If I use iTunes for any length of time, my system goes crazy. The scroll bar on whatever program I make active goes up and down like mad, while the content of the active window shrinks and magnifies in size multiple times a second. It's very bizarre and consistently happens only when I run iTunes for some length of time. I have no problem if I choose Windows Media Player. It's very disturbing, as I can no longer use iTunes. Any help in knowing how to fix the problem, or even to trouble shoot it further, would be greatly appreciated.

    Here are a couple of thoughts on the Timeline scrolling and other possible display issues:
    1.) make sure that you have the very latest video driver - the very latest
    2,) if you have Vista, turn Aero and Sidebar off
    3.) if you have Window Blinds, get the very latest version
    4.) if you have an InteliPoint mouse driver, try removing it, and using the standard Windows mouse driver instead*
    5.) if you have a laptop and both the touch-pad and a mouse are installed and ON, turn the touch-pad OFF
    These are some suggestions that might affect your display issues.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    * The MS InteliPoint has caused many display issues with Adobe products. Most often, these have manifested themselves in flashing GUI's and similar, but other odd behaviors have been experienced. If the removal of InteliPoint does help, try the very latest version, but be ready to revert to the standard Windows mouse driver.

  • Can someone please help me!! I keep trying to download itunes but get a message that and error has happened 2/3 and check window activity. Then it shows A sever with the specified host name could not-- and then it cuts off the rest of the message.

    I keep trying to download itunes in Safari but get a message that and error has happened 2/3 and check window> activity. Then it shows A sever with the specified host name could not…… and then it cuts off the rest of the message. I have reset Safari and still nothing!!!
    Very frustrated!!!

    It's downloading with Firefox 3.6.27 as I write.  It's probably more a Safari problem in your case for which people on the Safari forum could provide suggestions.  Or mybe just try again in a while as I suspect everybody is downloading right now.
