Åddress book window off screen

The window of my Address Book extends below the monitor so I'm unable to see the last items on the list. How can I make the window shorter/

I take it you're talking about the dropdown panel in Rules panel in Mail > Preferences, when you click Edit?
You must have a rule with a whole lot of conditions and/or actions.
What is your screen resolution?
I just experimented a bit, and suspect it's a bug, not "bad design". I notice as I add lines, and the panel approaches the bottom of the screen, the scroll bars appear, so the panel quits growing, as it should, but only 2 lines after they should. It looks to me like the height of the tool bar isn't being considered properly.
If that's what you're seeing, report it that way in the +Mail and Address book+ forum. If others see the same behavior, one of the top posters there may be able to report it, or you can call AppleCare and they can tell you how.
I doubt this is a condition many folks would see, so it probably hasn't come up often, if ever.
If I misunderstand what's happening, please clarify.

  • Application windows off screen while using external monitor

    Hi,
    I am using my MacBook frequently with an external monitor attached (lid closed). It happens now, that some applications (e.g.Finder) open windows outside of the screen. What can I do?
    This is especially annoying when I want to copy a file and Finder opens the 'Replace/Stop' window and I can't do anything because this windows is outside of the screen (I only see it when pressing F10).
    Any ideas?
    Gernot

    I had this happen last night. I was moving a window and it dissappeared. It was off screen. I could see it wit F10 but that was all. What I did was close the window under file in toolbar. Then I opened a new window under the same command in the toolbar. This brought the new window up in the visible window. Hope this helps.

  • 'Installing OS X' window off screen

    Hi all, I've started the upgrade to Mavericks from 10.7.5. After my laptop rebooted it got to the 'Installing OS X' (translated from Czech) screen. The window is however partially off screen so I can't see the bottom of it (no progress bar or buttons). I am not sure if I can just wait for it to complete or if there is some other step necessary such as clicking an OK button which I can't see.
    Does anyone remember what happens next or how long this should take?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Window off Screen - cannot resize -  Apple should fix this

    As much as I love my Mac, I am really frustrated and fed up with the goofy design of the OS X window resizing and moving.
    There have been many posts, web articles and so on complaining about the difficulty of resizing a window whose bottom edge is off the screen.
    I currently cannot edit a Mail rule because of this. I have tried about five or six Applescript "fixes" supplied by various folks but none work.
    This is just an appallingly bad GUI design decision in OS X. Apple should take a hint from some of the linux desktops and allow window resizing via the mouse from any location in the window.
    Fix it, Apple.

  • Some windows off screen and inaccessible when 2nd screen disconnected

    If I am using an application totally on a second screen, I often disconnect the screen without closing the application and/or window. I haven't yet pinned down the cause, but it may be if the system is put to sleep, the second screen disconnected, and then system woken. Anyway the precise cause is not the issue here.
    I get just a small side portion of the window, and there is not enough of the top bar to allow me to drag it into focus. What is the easiest way out of this situation?
    My current "solution" is to re-connect a second screen, but often that is no longer around!

  • Software window off-screen

    For some reason, when I run software for a online poker site the "table view" window will not appear on screen. (This occurs when i click on "open table view", etc.). I know it is open b/c I can hear the sounds from the window. I do not know how to have it recenter back onto my desktop.
    I remember having a similar problem years ago on a PC and there was some startup file that had the coordinates for the window specified that i could delete or edit. Is there such a thing I can do here?

    Here is the area of the desktop where it is.
    I also tried the "assign to" desktop trick, but "assign to" is grayed out.

  • Top half of Extension Manager rendered off screen - how do I get it back into view?

    I've tried many different approaches to solve this issue but none have helped. Some environment information:
    - running OSX 10.9.1
    - use an external monitor
    I've tried to get the window to reposition itself by unplugging the external monitor - remains half hidden on my laptop screen
    I've tried playing with screen resolution, but it stubbornly refuses to budge
    I've also tried rotating the screen 90 degrees, but the extension manager remained stuck with the top portion of the window off screen
    Look forward to your suggested fixes.
    Thanks!

    For EM CS6, please delete "/Users/<YourUserName>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/exman_uiPreferences.xml". For EM CC, delete "/Users/<YourUserName>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/exman_uiPreferences.xml".
    The "/Users/<YourUserName>/Library" folder is hidden in Finder. You have to hold down "option" key when you click the "Go" menu in the top menu bar, then click "Library" in the dropdown.

  • Mail composition window expands off screen

    If I reply to an email or create a new email and start to type the email address, the composition window extends about 75% off screen. Does anybody have an idea of what is causing this? I do not believe I have changed my settings and have not installed any new software.

  • Why are my windows sliding off screen?

    So, I was on my Mac Book Pro doing work and I flick between different windows (FCP, Finder, Safari etc) using the cmd - Tab function. All works fine and all the windows stay on the screen.
    However, I was doing something in finder when all of a sudden all the toher windows slid off scree to the left. Now whenever I use Finder the other widows slide off screen and when I tab back to use the other windows finder slides off to the right! I just want them all to be on the screen at the same time again!!
    Any ideas?

    Not sure if you have solved your issue yet. But I had the same issue. Disable/trash iSnap.That's the culprit.

  • Windows move off screen when new app is opened

    I have a user running 10.8.5. The user opens an application like Firefox or Safari. As soon as they open another application like Microsoft Word the browser or other application will shift off the screen. The finder is allowing only one window to show up on the screen at one time. I reset all keyboard shortcuts. Checked Mission Control, Launcher and couldn't find anything that would make this happen. They only have one display connected. I removed all the Office plist files and launched as a first time launch. I still can't find what is making the windows disappear or move off screen.
    I logged on as a different user and the problem went away. So it has to be something in their profile that is causing this. Any ideas?

    In OS X 10.6 and prior, Expose' and Spaces had a separate System Preference setting, along with hot corners. One of the options was to force apps to open in a new space.
    That changed to become Mission Control with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I haven't really used the feature in 10.8. I can't quickly find a useful Apple link, so I'll provide this 3rd-party 'Dummies book' link which might help you sort things out. Mouse and trackpad preferences also can be set to enable gestures that work in conjunction with Mission Control.

  • 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

  • Window Goes Off-Screen When Mouse arrow Is Moved To Upper Right Hand Corner

    It seems like this happened recently. When the mouse is moved and pointed to the upper right hand corner of the screen everything displayed goes off-screen to the right and left sides. The edge of the window is shown on the right side and a shadow on the left side- when I click on those everything pops back on-screen. I have a bad habit of moving my mouse quickly and this has become annoying.
    I thought it may have been a "Hot Corner" but I checked and this feature is not enabled(in Expose/Dashboard)
    How do I disable this feature?
    Thank you in advance.
    Steve

    Hello Steve:
    It definitely sounds like the hot corner "all windows" is enabled. There is a preference file that needs to be trashed, but I cannot figure out which one (no help to you).
    Be sure that none of the hot corners are enabled and then restart.
    You might also try resetting PRAM (although I do not think that will do anything).

  • FF4.0 Windows XPv3 drag tab to 2nd screen, drag bar off screen at top, close other browser window, shuts down both browser instances. BTW, look at how SAFARI does the drag tab to other screen, that is how!

    FF4, drag 2nd tab to new window.
    2. top dragbar is off screen at top. I unmaximize the original screen, now that one also pushes the drag bar to the top off the screen. I resize the bottom of the screen and I can see a sliver of the top dragbar. If I close one browser window, both shut down. Auch!
    Please take a look at how safari renders a second browser window when you drag one tab to the other window. Cool!

  • Finder window shifts content off screen to the left.

    This is posted in the Finder discussion also. I post it here also in the chance this is a Retina display issue. I never experienced this problem with Lion on my old MacBook Pro, just on my new Retina display.
    On several occasions the window in my Finder shifts the contents off screen to the left. For example, in column view, the left most edge of the Finder window might be displaying files listed in column 2 or 3. And even that is only the rightmost sliver of that column, showing maybe the last 6 to 10 characters of the file/fold names. There is no horizontal scroll bar and there appears to be no way to force the leftmost content (which is off screen to the left) to come back onto the screen. This appears to happen randomly; at least I've not noticed a pattern. I'm usually in Column view. When this happens switch between view options provides no solution. Minimizing and resizing also have no affect. Scrolling does not work, nor does using the arrow keys.The only solution is to close the window and open a new one.
    Anyone have this happen? Any ideas as to cause or cure?
    Closing the window and opening a new one is not a "major" crisis, but the fact such a bug is running around is undermining my confidence in the system.
    Thanks for your help.

    Please post a screen shot of what you are seeing. If you mean to the left of the Finder Window, it goes under the Sidebar area this is normal if your focus is in the Next to right most column. Like this?
    That is completely normal. The left hand side has to go somewhere when the focus in more to the right.
    Although myh scroll bar does allow me to go back to the left.

    My Mid 2011 MacBook Air (shipped with Lion) has been having this exact problem for some time now.
    It started being really annoying when I placed the Dock to the right part of the screen. 'Drag and Drop' anything to the Dock would almost always reproduce the problem to all Finder windows.
    The only solution I found was to force close the Finder. And, of course, moving the Dock back to the bottom part. It still happened, just less often.
    This issue is still happening after upgrading to Mountain Lion. But now it happens to a single window and I can solve it simply closing it.
    It is not something to drive me mad either, but I am surprised there are so few people discussing this bug. I would love to know if there is already a solution.
    Thanks.
