Application keeps moving out of the window to a phantom screen?

I can start the application and it works fine. However it won't stay on my home screen and I have checked the other spaces and it won't stay there either. It keeps drifting off to the top and off the screen. Any ideas?

Hi mykgarn,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be frustrating when the cursor is jumpy or erratic. In this situation I would recommend reading over the attached article for steps and recommendations to resolve the issue. 
Trackpad or Magic Trackpad is jumpy or erratic

  • IOS 5.0 Update Date keeps moving out on iPhone 3G

    I have an iPhone 3G and when I go to try and Sync it up and attempt to get the new iOS 5.0 Operating System Software, the Update Date keeps moving out. When I first tried a couple of weeks ago, it said an Update would be available 10/20. 10/20 came and went and then it said 10/22. 10/22 came and went and then it said 10/30. 10/30 has come and gone and now it says 11/02.
    Why oh why is the Update Date keep moving out? The rest of my family has updated just fine and I am excited for the new notifications that I have seen on their iPhones.
    Can anyoine help me out here???
    Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the iPhone 3G does not support iOS 5.  The iPhone 3GS is the oldest model that supports the iOS 5 operating system.  The date keeps moving because you make it check for an update which there are none and the system keeps telling you it will check again in a few days.  This is the normal operation of iTunes in terms of trying to keep your products up to date.
    I hope this helps.

    I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro.  The application keeps timing out and  at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes.  The document is 275 pages.  Is there something I can do to stop this?

    Hi Ricci,
    Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
    Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

  • Tried to connect my messages from my phone to my macbook, but the accounts tab under preferences won't let me type in my Apple ID and I can't save, cancel, or exit out of the window

    I just got a new MacBook Pro today. My friend explained to me how to connect my messaged from my phone to my Mac, since they weren't connected yet. I opened Messages > Preferences > Accounts. My Apple ID and account info was already there and it was enabled, but the messages still weren't syncing, so I disabled it and tried to add the account again. I went to put in my account info, but I realized there was no space to put in my Apple ID, even though it said to. I typed in my first and last name, password and country, but when I clicked "save" nothing happened. The section that asked my ID, name and password disappeared, the "save" button keeps flashing, and I can't "cancel" or exit out of the window. If I press "cancel", an alert message appears but all it says is "(null)". How can I fix this so that I can exit out of it? It won't let me shut down because of this.

    It will only sync with new messages received after Mac's Messages is configured and running.
    It will not synced old messages.

  • Please help before i throw my laptop out of the window!!!!!!!!  :-)

    OK, so I have been surfing the net for help/solutions but to no avail...
    When I try and burn a disk from itunes on to a blank disk i get the 2131 error which judging by the ammount i have seen written about it, is VERY common.
    I am about to throw my laptop out of the window as I cant fix it and am have just spend my Christmas itunes vouchers on downloads!argggggggghhhhhhhh
    My cd driver is SN-S082H ATA ???? please does anyone have any ideas what i can do??????
    Many thanks, in advance! Jen.

    Since the issue really is not related to the focus of this forum...compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, you should 1. Try a different brand of discs. 2. Post your question on the iTunes forums: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150 3. Post your question on a Windows forum such as those at http://www.windowsforums.org

  • Like an idiot, i bought a game for an ipad and only have a macbook air. can i somehow get the game to play on my air? or have i just thrown $5.29 out of the window?!?

    I recently bought a game for an "ipad", (thru itunes), when I only have a MacBook Air...I had seen where you could switch apps back and forth between devices, ad I thought I could do this. Is there a way to play the game on my Air laptop? Or did I just throw $5.29 out of the window? One more thing...it involved Facebook, and I don't belong...or want to belong!?
    I want to play Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, etc. ON MY MACBOOK AIR!?!???

    No way to play an iOS game on a Mac presently.
    I suspect if you contacted Apple's Customer Support and explained the situation they would refund or credit your account.

  • Make view transition in/out of the window

    I have a UIViewController that holds three different views via a segment button at the top.
    I want one of the views (first segment) to transition in and out of the window when clicking a button.
    Is this possible at all?

    You can either use a NavigationController to do that automatically for you.
    or
    Read the CoreAnimation Programming Guide and search for kCATransitionFromLeft or kCATransitionFromRight.

  • Output print at out of the window

    Hi All,
    I'm facing some problem when print the output. After i run the program, the output is print at out of the window.
    Could someone advise?
    Thanks,
    Alice

    If you could see the layout correctly in the print preview but it gets truncated/ prints outside the window when you actually print it then it might be the problem with the printer settings also. The printer setting defined in transaction SPAD might be one of the reasons. Check with the BASIS team what are the margin setups relevant for the printer on which you are trying to print.
    Cross check by printing on some other printer. If the results are not good, then try and check the dimensions of window in SAPscript.
    And since it is SAPscript make sure that you do a client copy after you make the changes for dimensions, incase the developement client and testing client are different.

  • How to avoid that the last column in a datagrid increase the width out of the window?

    I have a datagrid with this configuraction:
    <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column01" Binding="{Binding Property1, Mode=OneWay}"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column02" Binding="{Binding Property2, Mode=OneWay}"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column03" Binding="{Binding Property3, Mode=OneWay}"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
    The last column is a description, so the text can be a bit large. so I would like that the width don't be wnough greater than makes the datagrid has a width out side the window.
    For this, I have read that I can use Width="Auto" in all the columns and in the last column width="*", but in this case all the coloumns has a very low width so I can't read anything.
    The code that I have used in this case is:
    <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column01" Binding="{Binding Property1, Mode=OneWay}" Width=""Auto"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column02" Binding="{Binding Property2, Mode=OneWay}" Width=""Auto"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column03" Binding="{Binding Property3, Mode=OneWay}" Width=""*"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
    I am using visual studio community edition and wpf 4.5.1.
    Thank so much,

    >>For this, I have read that I can use Width="Auto" in all the columns and in the last column width="*", but in this case all the coloumns has a very low width so I can't read anything.
    Can't you just set an explicit width for the first two columns then?, e.g.:
    <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column01" Binding="{Binding Property1, Mode=OneWay}" Width="100"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column02" Binding="{Binding Property2, Mode=OneWay}" Width="100"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column03" Binding="{Binding Property3, Mode=OneWay}" Width=""*"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
    There is also a MinWidth property that you can use to prevent the columns from being to narrow:
    <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column01" Binding="{Binding Property1, Mode=OneWay}" Width="Auto" MinWidth="100"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column02" Binding="{Binding Property2, Mode=OneWay}" Width="Auto" MinWidth="100"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Column03" Binding="{Binding Property3, Mode=OneWay}" Width=""*"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
    Hope that helps.

  • Help before I throw this printer out of the window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have just purchased a Deskjet 2540 all in one printer - I will only ever need to print boarding passes etc. -
    this looked so good on Amazon ideal for my iPad and said how easy to set up!!! In my dreams - I have now spent 10 hours
    Trying to set this up and last night was close to cracking:-
    I am setting this by wirless. I have the password and the printer showing on my iPad.
    Each time I try and load the softwear I am told an unexpected error has occurred please try again later - I
    Have tried and tried to no avail. Apple staff have said I do not need this softwear????????
    The network test results say:-
    1 check the printer network name ssid matches your wireless router network name ssid exactly!!!!!
    2 if they do not match exactly, run the wireless setup from the printer software to configure your hp printer!!!!!
    But no where can I find how to do this and sorry I really do not understand what this means.
    Reading Amazon some people have set up in 15 min!!!!
    The cost of bringing in an expert to set this up is worth more than the printer cost!!!!!!
    Thanks for reading feel better letting of steam will defiantly be a 0 from me for the feed back to Amazon

    Hello SueJon,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I hope this reply finds you with the printer not thrown out of the Window. Regarding the Deskjet 2540 setup to work with the iPad, I would like to help.
    There are two ways that you can print from the iPad to the 2540. The first, Wireless Direct. Wireless Direct is a network that the printer broadcasts and the iPad would connect to it. This method will leave the iPad with no other network access while connected.
    Second, and more functional, is having the printer connected to the same network that the iPad is connected too.
    In order to setup this connection, follow the steps outlined below;
    Turn Wireless Direct on from the front panel button on the printer. (number 4).
    Connect the iPad to the printer network, Settings> Network> HP-Print-2540.
    Open Safari and type this I.P address into the address bar, 192.168.223.1 and hit Enter.
    Go to Network or Wireless and then Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Select your network and enter the needed information.
    Once connected, the Wireless light should be solid, connect the iPad back to your network. To print, open a document, hit the Share button (), and if an option to print is available you will be able to select the print option.
    I hope you find this information helpful.
