Applications are open, but windows are not showing up!
This has started happening recently. I first noticed this with iTunes but it's started happening with TextEdit as well.
These applications will be open and functioning correctly, and then all of a sudden, the window disappears. I can see the application is open in my menu bar and in my dock. In TextEdit for example, I would go to new, and then nothing will happen. I can close these applications and reopen them, but no window shows up. In order to fix this problem, I have to restart my computer, but this only solves the problem for a few hours.
Yes, sorry. Even though I had Spaces disabled, it's like it was enabled somehow. I fixed it by opening up System Preferences and taking out all of the applications in the application assignment window.
What is weird is the enable spaces checkbox was unchecked, but the applications were acting like they were being put into another space and not switching to that space. This is a bug that Apple really needs to fix.

on Windows 7, CS6 all products, but especially need help with ID. Fonts that are showing in other applications are not showing in ID.
The ID Program folder will be relevant to your OS...
I took a shot and right clicked on my Scripts Samples, choose reveal in Explorer and opened up the ID Program folder.
As shown, there is a Fonts folder.
Drag/Copy/Paste fonts to this folder. -
Application opens, but window does not appear on screen
I upgraded my tunes from v6.0 to v6.01.
When I open the application, the black arrow appears next to the itunes icon in the dock, however, the window does not open on my desktop.
I have tried opening the application from its source in the applications folder, and have tried to open songs from the itunes library. Neither of which work.
I dumped the application, and downloaded it again.. and still am unable to get it to work..
How can i fix this problem?
Thanks.no.. i don't get the menu bar
nothing happens when i press command 1.
someone suggested that i may need to re-install the operating system..
Do you get the iTunes menu bar? What happens if you
press Command-1 (Command-One)? -
Can connect to computer but window does not show up
We are having issues with Apple Remote Desktop connecting to a couple of servers. Server version varies. It is happening on one server running 10.6.8 and one computer running 10.5.8 and one running 10.4.11
When we connect to the server it appears to connect (the computer shows up in the windows menu) but the window to the computer does not show up. It is almost as if there is a no pixel window open. I have tried forcing the VNC server and ARD processes on the server but this doesn't change anything. The only solution for this problem is to restart the server and then ARD works noramlly for a while but it will eventually return to this behavior.
Has anyone else run into this problem?when the issue happens, can you connect using other proticals / programs? ie VNC via connect to computer in the go menu of finder? OR ssh in the terminal to connect to the server?
if you can ssh into the server, you could try the kickstart command to restart ARD.
if you can't connect to the server at all. Can you ping the server? Ether way, if you go to the server , will it browse the internet?
if you can't ping the server, are you using the Fully qualified DNS name to ping? or the IP to ping? or the server.local name to ping? -

Hello Rea Meir,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Make sure the *Enable Disk Use* option is enabled for your iPod under it's Summary tab in iTunes. For more help and information, see this Apple support document.

when I am opening any application including safari, these icons are not showing in dock, how to get open applications in my dock?
This could be a plist corruption problem, but I'm not sure.
Sometimes, the preference list files get corrupted. You can usually just remove them and they'll get re-created. This may require you to reset certain settings. A notable exception to this is the Mail plist which actually stores the Library structure of your email accounts. Deleting the Mail plist will definitely cause lots of problems, but is recoverable.
The plist files are stored in the /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ folder. They usually have the naming convention of com.company.programname.plist.
A simple troubleshooting technique is to move a suspect plist file out of the Preferences folder and start up the app, again. It will re-create the plist from scratch.
In your case, I would try the com.apple.dock.plist. You can use Activity Monitor to kill the Dock app and it will restart. Or, you can log out and log back in.
There is a new file with Leopard called com.apple.dock.db. I haven't figured out what it does, but you might try moving it out. If anything gets worse, you can move the old file back in replacing the newly created one.
This all sound somewhat odd, so I don't know if this will help. -
i'm trying to load photoshop elements 12 on my mac os x and when i click setup.exe i get : You can’t open the application “Setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. The premiere elements 12 out of the same box loaded just fine.
An .exe file means you have the windows version. Go get the mac version:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 12, 11, 10
but I hope you have a mac serial number. -
Some applications are not opening, including Mail and Word. Clicking on the icon stirs it on the dock, but will not open it. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Ok, that's plenty of space.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions. -

You can’t open the application “MFI_Simulator.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.9.1.
Your Office 2011, though a Microsoft product, is designed to work with OSX the Mac operating system. Any program/application ending .exe is an executable program for Windows. It will only work in Windows and is not part of or openable with Microsoft Office.
the application you want to open needs Windows - you have a couple of alternatives:
Open it on a Windows PC
Install a valid version of Windows via Bootcamp (or Parallels or VM Fusion) which will allow you to boot your Mac into Windows where it will function like a Windows PC and you can use it to run the application.
See if the manufacturers of MFI_Simulator have a Mac version available.
Please note that if you follow the second option, then you will need to purchase a copy of Windows (if you do not have one already). BootCamp is free (part of OSX) but Parallels and VM Fusion cost too. I see quite a few posts from people who buy Parallels and try to run the program under Parallels - this doesn't work - you need to install Windows as well.
Hope this helps. -
Not sure what I did but projects are not showing up in the video window as i skim... Event footage does but project footage has sound but the video screen is gray... How do I get the vido to show in the viewer?
So you can ping and nslookup from your ms to these agents and vice versa right? I wouldn't do a manual install, I would push the agent from the management server. You can uninstall the agent manually, or use cleanmom to get rid of them. Then
do an install from the console. When you initiate the install from the console (management server), should it run into any issues it will dump out an error which will give you an idea of where the problem may be.
From Holmans post on this:

1. Ensure agent push account has local admin rights
2. Firewall is blocking NetBIOS access. If Windows 2008 firewall is enabled, ensure “Remote Administration (RPC)” rule is enabled/allowed. We need port 135 (RPC) and the DCOM port range opened for console push through a firewall.
3. Inspect WMI service, health, and rebuild repository if necessary
4. Firewall is blocking ICMP (Live OneCare)
5. DNS incorrect

I just downloaded the Windows Migrator and tryed to open it. A window popped up saying "YOU CANT OPEN THE APPLICATION BECAUSE MICROSOFT APPLICATIONS ARE NOT SUPPORTED ON OS X". How do i transfer my files?
An .exe application is compiled for Windows. It will not run on a different OS. If you need to run this program, then you will have to install Windows on your Mac. Either as a separate bootable partition, or running in a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMWare.

Windows (tool) panels are not showing.
Windows (tool) panels are not showing, or letting me use most of the tool features. e.g. when I klick windows>align but no align window shows up, even though it is ticked in the 'Windows' drop down menu. This is the second time this has happened since subscribing. Help!
Sam,
It may be time for the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Updated and now tool windows are not showing up.
I just updated my Muse and the pop open tool windows are not showing up. For example when I click on some text and then click on the list of typfaces the typeface window shutters and won't show up. This window keeps blinking from gray to black. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program. Also the tool window on the left side also cuts off the all of the tools. Also on my planning mode the A-master isn't showing up and I can't scroll to get to the A-master.
The A-master not showing up at the bottom of the screen sounds like you must be running on a Windows machine with your screen resolution set to 125%. Try setting your resolution back to 100% (or if need be increase to 150%) and see if that helps.
We don't support UI scaling in this release, but at the 125% setting Windows tries to scale us anyway and the result is not usable. We're working on a fix to avoid being scaled in this case.
If it still behaves badly at 100%, would it be possible to post a screenshot? -
Charts are not showing up on OBIEE 111160 on Windows 2008 64 bit
Hi,
We have installed OBIEE 111160 on Windows server 2008 64 bit. We pointed our RPD and web catalog to OBIEE 111160. But, some of our reports are not showing the chart view. We are able to see data in table view. If we run the same RPD and web catalog on Windows server 2003 32 bit with OBIEE 111160, the reports are showing chart view.
Can anybody help..
Thanks,
AnileshI'm running 11g in same config as you, for me no issues.
Not sure exact reason but try these checks
Control Panel->Java : open it
goto Java tab, click View see how many jre are available. If the jre is out side of OFM_HOME make sure you have it in CLASSPATH.
if this is not working out try to set OFM_HOME\Oracle_BI1\jdk\jre, enable it and try.
Let me know updates :)
