Application Won't Stay Hidden

This is so basic but I can't find the solution anywhere.
DVD Studio Pro all versions for as far back as I can remember have this really annoying habit of popping up in front of any other open application multiple times through out the burning process. As an editor, I tend to use DVDsp as a background application and wish it would stay that way so I can continue with other projects. Does anyone know how or where I can configure those types of settings?
Chime in if this has annoyed you as well.

On the contrary, when I burn I don't want any other applications running.

I have created a second user on my iMac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Everything works fine with the main user. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.

Applications won't stay downloaded on SD Card

After the update, all my applications I moved to the SD Card were "shadowed" out on my screen. When I clicked to open the applications, it would tell me the app didn't exist. I took the card out, put it in my computer, copied the card to my desktop and reformatted the card. Then transferred all the apps back to the card and it still didn't work. I then had to uninstall all the applications and reinstall and transfer back to the SD card. One by one the apps started to delete themselves from the SD card again. The applications will not stay downloaded on the SD card. Is anyone having this issue after the update?

I have about 2000 pictures and the apps that can't be moved to the SD card along with some music I haven't moved yet. I have available about 4GB of space left. I wanted to save space on the phone and use the 58GB available on the card. The music that's on the card will stay but the apps won't

Trying to Hide a Shared Calendar (It Won't Stay Hidden)

This happens in the icloud.com interface. I try and remove the checkmark beside several of my calendars, leaving only one visible. All stay hidden except the one that is shared to me by another iCloud member. That calendar keeps unhiding itself and showing in the calendar display.
What am I doing wrong?
I am in the page using Firefox on a PC, but this behavior seems to happen in other browsers too.

Applications Won't Stay Active

Ever since I installed Leopard, all of my applications like Safari, Microsoft Word and Mail deselect themselves after about 15 seconds. For example, if I am typing an email, the screen suddenly goes slightly grey and I have to click on the open application to bring it back to life. Any suggestions?

My Applications won't stay in the Dock

Since I downloaded lion, I couldn't keep any applications on my dock. Except the ones that were already on there.. I tried to keep my firefox on it and wouldn't work either, I right clicked it and clicked options it didn't say anything, it only said "open at login and show in finder" I tried dragging the applications but it still won't work. Please help me, it's really annoying just searching the applications in spotlight!

Maybe a permission problem? Use Disk Utility to repair permissions, see if that helps.

IPod touch applications won't stay open

I just bought a used iPod touch. The first day put applications on it, and everything worked fine, then suddenly some of the applications would open log enough to see the title screen, then it would go back home. I restored the iPod to the factory settings, re-installed the apps, and everything worked fine for a little over a day, then the same thing happened. I don't have any windows open in safari, and I still have almost half of my memory left.

I have the same problem as well with an itouch that I purchased for my niece. The first one I bought, the apps never worked after I downloaded and some songs wouldn't play either. So last Monday I exchanged it and got a new one. The apps worked on this one along with the music until she unwrapped it Christmas morning (about 4 days). Now the app will flash up then quickly return to the home screen. I also received a touch for Christmas and put the apps on mine and so far am NOT having that problem, so I don't think it's a computer problem. I scheduled a support call with apple but it will be January 4th before they can get to me! If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Edges won't stay hidden?

I didnt see a place in preferences to keep edges hidden. I have some text that has a dotted line around it. I can hide it with hide edges, but as soon as I select them and let go, the edges come back. maybe their not edges since theyre dotted. maybe its flash telling me somethings not set up correctly? anyone?

If you are talking about the text on the stage, the dotted lines will not show up when you run the file. They show up for dynamic textfields that don't have borders designated for them and help by indicating the size of the textfield. I've never bothered trying to hide them since they help when it comes to making things fit.
If you are seeing them when you play the file, that is something I've never seen, so it might be worth showing a picture.

Mail application won't stay open!!!!

I have tried deleting and creating my email account and I have restarted my iPad. Still when I open my mail app it immediately closes. I can see my emails so I know it's actually working, but before I can open them it closes. I use the same ap on my iPhone with the same email and it works fine. Please help!!!

WOW! This helped out tremendously! About a month ago my 5s stopped downloading emails on it's own. It also would take at least ten attempts to open and then close out the app. It would flash on the screen as if opening up and then not actually open. However, it would show it was "open" when I would go to close out of apps running in the background. FRUSTRATING! I've done hard restarts, backed it up, etc. I'm hoping the Load Remote Images was the problem.
What is the Load Remote Images for anyway?

The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.

Highlighting text won't stay on

When I highlight text it often won't stay on, and when it does and I try to move the selection, it just beeps at me and sits there. What's up?

Ok. In System Preferences > General, Apple applies the term “Highlight” instead of “Selection” color.
In Pages v5(.2), I select a passage of text and it reflects my first sentence color setting. You can leave this alone and visit any menu or side panel setting, and the selection in the body text will remain selected. It will remain selected, if you leave the Pages document and click in another application. When you return to this Pages document, click anywhere but the body text to regain document focus. The next click in the body text should be a click/hold/drag on the selection to move it, or a press of the space bar to remove the selected text. This is mouse-based behavior.
If you are using a Trackpad, whether built-in or external, you must be very careful not to brush against it while in your Pages document, or your selection focus will be lost.
I am using the above Pages on OS X 10.9.4 and do not experience a loss of selection, or an inability to drag/move or remove the selection. I have tried with both mouse and Trackpad following the preceding guidelines and cannot reproduce what you have stated.

Application won't open in my profile, but open and run great in a test profile

Just got a new macbook
I imported the profile from my old MAcbook and some application won't work anymore...
So I got my way to make macoffice to work again...
Now My suitcase fusion don't want to open... when i clic on the icon, it start and it ask me if I want to check for update no mather if I clic yes or no, after it close... So I try it in another profile and it work great...
I had similar issue in the past and I had to copy file from the test profile to my main profiles...
but this time it's not working...
any idea ???
Thanks in advance

I suggest to go to your profile's library and look for Application Support folder. Verify if it contains a folder matching your application. If so delete it.
Then got to Preferences folder and look for files or folder related to your application name. Delete them too.
now restart your application.
To go to your Library folder in Lion: In Finder navigate to your user folder and use the Go To menu item Go to folder and enter "Library" as it is a hidden folder in Lion.

When I boot up my Mac, Messages opens automatically. I quit the app, but it just re-opens itself. It won't stay off!!! I can't figure out what's wrong with it!

For the past few months, my Mac has been acting weird. EVERY time I boot up the computer, Messages opens automaticallly (I am runing OS X 10.8.x). I quit the app, but it just re-opens a few seconds later! It just won't stay off! I've looked it up online and nothing helps. I have no idea what to do!!!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Folders in Files Panel won't stay collapsed

There are 2 folders in my Files Panel which won't stay collapsed. When I open Dreamweaver, they are expanded. If I click the arrow next to them a few times they will eventually collapse, but then as soon as I open any other file or folder they re-expand themselves. This first started back when I was using Dreamweaver CS5 with one folder which refused to collapse. A year later, I had updated to Dreamweaver CS6, and now had 2 folders which wouldn't stay collapsed. This morning I updated to Dreamweaver CC, and the same 2 folders still won't stay collapsed!
I searched the forum and found people with the same issue going back to 2007, but have yet to find any solution. A few people recommended editing the Windows Registry - but I'm using the Mac version. Several people said that they had some luck completely deleting the site settings and re-creating it - but that seems a bit extreme, plus several people said that it just started happening again later with another folder!
Does anyone have a permanent solution??
Here are a few of the other posts regarding this issue:

Also - just as an FYI. If I rename the folder, it stops happening. I can close and restart Dreamweaver and it stays collapsed. But, as soon as I rename the folder back - even if I do so after closing and reopening the program - it starts doing it again!!
Not sure if this is related either - but I saw in someone else's post that setting Related Files to Automatically, instead of Manual, fixed the problem. I did try this, to no avail. I even tried many times to turn off Related Files (by unchecking the Enable Related Files box in Preferences) but it keeps re-enabling itself!

As Jon Suggested , try rebuilding the site Cache
Allow me to Quote another DW user
First let me add here that I did find that when I upgraded to the new Creative Cloud version of DW and it imported my 12.0 site settings, the problem followed those settings into the 13.0 version.
Im on a Mac so these instructions would need to be taylored to the PC in regards to the location of the file referenced. And I am not sure if it's even the same file on the PC. So I can only speak for my experience on the Mac.
I've fixed my 12.0 version and my 13.0 version this way.
It was a corrupted "Site Prefs" file. I tried to fix it, but the entries where so mixed up that there was no way that was going to work. So I deleted the "Site Prefs" file and let DW recreate it.
In order to recreate the Site Prefs file, it meant loosing all of my site settings.
To make things less painful...
Open DW and go to Manage Sites. Select all sites and do an export of all .ste files, with passwords and user names, into a temperary folder and close DW.
Now find file folder called "12.0" or 13.0" in the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/12.0 (13.0 for the cloud version)/Sites/ and rename it to "12.0_old" or whatever. (Note: you may need to Option-click the Go Menu in the Finder in order to get the Library choice to appear).
Reopen DW and it will recreate a new blank "Site Prefs" file. Go to "Manage Sites..." and click on "Import Site". Select all of the .ste files and import them.
DW will update the site's cache the first time you open each site and it might also ask you to give permission to access the password stored in you keychain. Choose "Always Allow" for each one.
That's it. Now my corrupted folder doesn't pop open every time I click on another folder.
Mac OS 10.7.5
DW CS6 (12.0 build 5861) &/or DW CC (13.0 build 6391)
As I said, this worked great for me. But use these steps at your own discretion.

MBP display won't stay off, wakes from sleep

I have a newish 15" MBP, 1680 display, hooked up to a Dell external monitor when it's at home. When I go to bed I cut power to the display via control-shift-eject, but generally don't put the computer to sleep overnight.
With this new machine, after it's been running for a while (as little as a day, or as long as a couple weeks), the displays will come on again in the night. Once this happens, the displays won't stay off for longer than about five seconds. If I then put the machine to sleep, it'll wake itself up minutes or hours later (generally not long enough to miss a Time Machine interval). The only cure is rebooting.
I tried an SMC reset, but that fix only lasted about as long as any other reboot.
I've since tried systematically removing every peripheral (a USB hub, the external display, any directly-connected iOS devices) and testing display-off after each; no change. I've turned off my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, then disabled Bluetooth on the computer, turned off wifi, quit every menu extra (jitouch, Viscosity, Dropbox, Pastebot, Fastscripts, Transmit, Teleport), and quit every running application. The problem remains repeatable after every step.
It's repeatable at the moment — any suggestions for other things to try, preferably short of the reboot which temporarily masks the problem? I'm a little concerned that it's going to manifest at some point while I have the laptop sitting in a bag, which will then cook itself.
I'm on 10.6.4 now, the problem started on 10.6.3.
Thanks.

Try checking the system logs in Applications/Utilities/Console.app for clues. The entries carry time stamps. Usually a wake event will leave some trace. By matching time stamps to the time of occurrence you may find the culprit.
