Allow application window docking in Windows 7

The FrameMaker application window does not dock to the side of the screen in Windows 7. This might seem like a petty request, but I use this feature all the time, and it would be so helpful when I'm editing a book from a marked-up PDF file from my client. I always look at the PDF on one side of the screen and edit the book in the other. All the other programs I use dock to the screen (including the other Adobe products)--why not Frame?

HI bernardosgr,
Please check the "3-bar" menu and click "+Customize" and toggle the title bar.
I hope this helps!

Application window not working, must go to dock

I am having a strange thing happen both on my mac at home and my one at work. Sometimes when I click on the application window, it will not come forward. I have to go to the dock and click on it to select it. This happens quite a bit in the print dialog.. but happens in a lot of other applications.

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,
anne

HT201730 Dock Ions Bring Up Applications Window In Finder

Sometimes one or more icons in the Dock get wonky. When I click on certain icons the Finder window pops up with that Icon highlighted. Right now it' Safari, but not always. If I reboot it goes back to normal. At least for a while...

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

HOW TO IMPORT WINDOWS ALLOWED APPLICATIONS

Dear,
I have finally set-up the XP Group Policy.
I now need to import a list of windows allowed applications.
I have more than 500 entries.
I just can not beleive that you have to MANUALLY enter them.
Is there a tool that enables you to that that automatically?
If yes, please, let me know.
Thanks.

Open application windows in the same place consistently

Hello,
I am hoping to find out if anyone knows of a good way to convince application windows to open in the same location on the screen every time, consistently. This is, clearly, a minor problem, but perhaps you know how to do it. For example, I tend to use Safari with the window open over the entire screen, but every time I open a new window it locates itself with a couple mm between left side of the screen and left side of the Safari window, and the right side of the Safari window (the scroll bar) is partially off the screen (because the window is shifted). So every time I open a new Safari window I have to click the top bar and drag it a little bit to place it where I want it. Is there a way to "teach" Safari where I want it to open so that it will open in the same place every time? Maybe the problem is that I have a hidden dock on the left side of the screen and Safari does not want to come too close to the dock?
(I also have the same issue with Mail, because though I use that program with the application window only open over part of the total screen area it always opens in the same place on the screen which is always slightly off from where I want it to be)
Any suggestions? Thanks!!
PS I apologize if this has been posted before; I tried several searches but the only results that came up were not at all related to my actual question.

I don’t think there is a way to teach Safari not to shift the window when a new one is created. And I don’t think it is related to the position of the Dock.
I leave a few cm of space on the right side of the Safari window and have the screen filled from top to bottom with the Safari window. Then when I make a new window, it opens shifted a little to the right of the previous window, but it doesn’t put the scroll bar off the screen and because the screen is filled from top to bottom, it doesn’t shift down, just right next to the previous window.
You might try using tabs. When you click a link that you want in a new window, hold the Command key down. It will open in a new tab in the same window and you can change between the window tabs by clicking on it on the top of the window. The X on the tab will close the tab.

Is there a way to view just one open Finder window (without any other Finder or other application windows coming into view) from a Desktop hot corner in Yosemite?

I just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro. Previously, I could view just one open Finder window by viewing the Desktop via a hot corner and then selecting Finder from the Dock. This would pull only the top Finder winder into view, without showing any other open Finder windows, and most importantly, any other open application windows. I could then easily drag files/folder from my Desktop into the Finder window (which I do A LOT). Since upgrading to Yosemite, whenever I use the Desktop hot corner and select Finder from the Dock, it pulls every open application and Finder window back into view, putting Finder in front.
Is there any way to view just one already open Finder window (or all Finder windows for that matter) without seeing all other open applications, without having to Hide the other applications or using Spaces?

Yes I've created an Automator Application that does the job, but the "watch me do" function that does the Mail Merge is a rather Clunkey work around, as the mouse moves all over the place, thats the part i want to remove and replace with a script, or work out a different way around it that avoids the "watch me do" function.
Is this Possible? or where/who is there i can ask to write me a script, im not a novice to scripting, but i am a novice to Applescript.

Disappearing Application Windows?

Hi,
I am running mac os x 10.5.5 on a 3.06 24inch imac with 4gb ram.
recently I have a worsening issue with application windows disappearing. It seems to happen with all applications intermittently & i cant pin down why it is happening.
I do use spaces & have some applications set to run in certain spaces but this really doesnt seem to effect the problem.
For example i will be working away in space 2 with mail & that will be fine. If I go to space 4 where itunes should be, spaces moves to the space but there is nothing visible from itunes window wise. I get the menus accross the top as itunes but no wimdows for the app.
If i go back to space 2 with mail & click i tunes in the dock, it takes me to space 4 & I have the itunes menus again but no windows.
If I check all of my spaces individually, none of the itunes windows are in any of the other spaces.
The only work around that i have found for this is if i go to the dock, click the app icon & choose hide when something has already disappeared.
If I then click the app icon in the dock again & choose show, spaces kicks in, takes me to the correct space & the application appears with the windows.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem any better than that>? Surely mac os shouldnt be doing this?

I don't use Leopard (yet), but I've heard of a bug with Spaces that causes applications to start on virtual desktops that don't exist any more, which sounds similar to what you're seeing.
If you've disabled Spaces, re-enable it, and make sure all your applications are set to start up on the first virtual desktop. (Again, I don't use Leopard yet, so I don't know if you actually can enable/disable Spaces, but I do know you can tell apps which virtual desktop to open on.)

Thanks for the response, that sounds like an easier way to get everything back at once rather than one app at a time.
I was beginning to think that I was the only person with this problem, in a way its nice to hear someone else has it too.
It would be even better if it can get fully resolved in an update though!
Thanks again

Black strips, dots around application windows!!

I think since after updated to 10.6.3, there is a display issues on my computer.
There are black boxes around application windows, such as safari, firefox (like screen tearing). Also, for those scrolling pad on windows, and menu tab on the top are with kinda like a scratch displays. It can be solved by restart the system, but it will appear sooner after.
My model is MacBook (late 2008 version)....Is there any problem with my display chips or something else????

Its not voiceover. This has happened to my computer ever since I upgraded to 10.6. It always appears after I watch some sort of movie, whether it is on youtube or embedded in a website. Black boxes will form around windows, on my desktop, over the dock. I'll post a screenshot the next time it happens to see if we are talking about the same thing. It goes away if I restart the computer.

How to restrict "Open Applications" window from showing C drive? Or use the Windows Explorer "Open" Window?

Hi, Im new to JDeveloper and I work in a school which requires restriction of the C: Drive. Does any one know how I can either stop the "Open Applications" dialog from showing this drive or Use the Windows Explorer "Open" dialog window to browse files, the drive has been hidden and restricted using GPO but JDeveloper shows the C: drive?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi and thanks Timo. We are using 12c. On the Windows side of things, we are using Win7 and we have hidden the drives we don't want the user to see using GPO but obviously Jdev then shows these drives in its "Open Applications" Window and allows access. As far as the environmental variable is concerned this is something that I put in place.
Many thanks for your reply and the link to the tech doc.

Application windows snap to upper left corner and stick there

Since I upgraded to Mavericks I've had an intermittent problem with application windows. If I shrink a window down to the dock sometimes when I being it back to the desktop it goes up to the upper left corner of the screen and sticks there. I can drag it away but when I let it go it snaps back to the corner. I have to close the application and reopen it to get it back to normal.
So far it has only happened with TextEdit and Google Chrome and it only has happened 6 or 7 times in two weeks but since it makes the window unusable I have lost work when it happens.
Has anyone else seen this and is there a fix?

Label - Java Application Window

HI!
When I start my application with Java Web Start, on bottom of my window is label with message Java Application Window,so please tell me how can I remove this label???
Thank you very much..

This banner is attached by awt on all top level windows when security manager is installed and dosn't grant the awt permissions "ShowWindowWithoutWarning". in 1.5, the control panel allows users (or enterprise administrators) to grant this permission to unsigned content. Without that, this will show in all windows created by unsigned code.

Mission control - Application Windows

When I uses the Application Windows function on Mission Control (default is F10) it would show me previous documents I've opened at the bottom. Is there a way to turn that off?

Hey Eric, thanks for your reply!
No, actually i was referring to the Mission control - App Expose (F4), when i'm inside an app (eg Chrome) and hit either F4 or cursor into a corner, i get the windows arranged in tiles, but they're so small that i can barely see the tabs inside them. Having the windows arranged in cascade mode and bigger would allow me to go straight to the target window. Hope this makes sense.
As for your answer, this could be a solution workaround. I personally would have to get used to that, as i'm generally keeping my windows maximised.

When I view application windows, but then cancel from this view I am moved to another open window from the application on a different desktop space. How can I prevent this from happening?

Hi Everyone!
I'm new to Mac, and I'm a bit unsure of how to handle a problem I'm having with application windows.
Here's the scenario:
On one space I have a bunch of PDF's open in Preview next to the document I am working on. On another space, I might have an unrelated PDF open and an image, also open in Preview. Now, say I use the Application Windows button to view all my open PDF's on the first space, but then discover I haven't got the PDF open, so I need to open in in finder. The moment I quit out of the Application Windows view I am transported to another desktop containing an open Preview window! This happens with other applications too, like if I trigger application windows on pages instead of preview and need to cancel, I get transported off to some other open pages document.
This is insanely infuriating, how can I stop it!
Thanks for your time.

Viewing application windows in full size on a macbook pro

I connect my macbook pro to a 23 inch screen in my office. When not connected to this external screen, I find that one of my windows in Interface Builder is longer than the vertical length of my 17" macbook screen. How do I scan down to see the bottom portion of my IB screen? I suspect this is a problem with any application window this is maximized on a large external screen and then viewed on the laptop's much smaller screen. Thanks for any help!!

Most applications have a menu item labeled Window and if you drop down Window, usually there will be a Zoom selection. If Interface Builder has that, try clicking on Zoom and see if the trouble window snaps back to being within the smaller screen of the MBP.
Another method that might work, if there are other open windows in Interface Builder for which you can see the green resize button at the top left of the window, try Option-clicking on that green button and that should cause the resize action to take place for all of IB's open windows.
If that doesn't work, one thing you can try is lowering the MBPs resolution through Displays preferences and then restoring the original resolution. That should have the effect of resizing all the open windows to a screen fitting size.
If none of those work, write back. I still have two other methods that might work but I'm getting tired of typing these out
