Applications opening with a frame and no centre

I have just moved to a iMac from a PC, when I open some of my new Mac applications like Photoshop or Nikon Capture NX2 I get a framed border with the desktop wallpaper still showing.
The applications are already opened in full screen, it is just that there is a gap in the middle that is the desktop, the application is a frame around the edge of the screen. When you open up a picture it is there but with the desktop showing around it, if you click on the wrong bit the application minimises back to the desktop. Photomatix, NX2 and Photoshop CS5 does it, Lightroom 4, Aperture and Photoshop CS6 do not. I find this really annoying and want them all to open up as a full window with no background showing. Can I do this?

Hello xraflad,
The following article has a few things that may help get these applications working as expected.

HT4550 safari opens with 5 tabs and the freezes

safari opens with 5 tabs and the freezes

I have been experiencing the exact same issue as eddiethered for the past 2 weeks, I'm having 4 old browser tabs open everytime I launch Safari. This is not an issue of a settings configuration, it is an issue of a bad .plist or cache from what I can tell. Like eddiethered, I have ensured the following:
My default homepage is about:blank, so upon Safari launch nothing other than a blank page should appear.
It is not an issue of restarting the OS and having "Reopen windows when logging back in" checked off, when I restart I ALWAYS uncheck that - but in the past week the same apps seem to relaunch automatically when they shouldn't.
This is not an issue of previously closing vs quitting the Safari browser, I Command-Q all my apps when I am finished with them. Even when I hard-quit Safari, the old 4 browser tabs/websites reappear.
This is not a issue of Login Items as I don't have a single application listed as a Login Item for my Username.
I've also noticed other apps having issues (iChat, Chrome). As of now Firefox is the only browser that is launching without any issues. Yes an OS reinstall could be an option but that is a substantial amount of effort I don't want to invest. Due to the other apps having issues this may be an issue at the OS level and not Safari.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />

Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??
Thanks in advance

What is your operating system?
Open a PDF from where? If online, in what browser?

Try this.
Hold the shift key down and launch Safari.

Hi aldamtgf,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Messages is only displaying a white screen when you open it, first force close the application using this method:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close

If Messages still does not open normally, restart your iPhone next:

I installed ADE and when I try to download ebook it tries to open with Adobe reader and does not give option to open with ADE

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

Dealing with dropped frames and out of sync audio

Hi!
I'm using Final Cut Studio 3 and I'm trying to record some video from a pretty old MiniDV-camera. The problem is that a have some dropped frames and when I record the whole thing it gets out of sync.
By default Final Cut aborts the capture (without saving) when it finds dropped frames. That won't work for me. I start recording, it records a couple of minutes and then it just aborts without saving anything.
I tried to record the entire tape when using the option of not aborting on dropped frames. I recorded the entire video but not it gets more and more out of sync later and later in the video.
So, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this? Maybe I can use an external application for this cause I haven't found a way to deal with this in Final cut.
Best
Felix

Hi(Bonjour)!
Did you shoot in DV or HDV ?
Did you try to capture HDV with Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 (or 50 for europe)?
Does you downconvert HDV shooted to DV upon capturing from camcorder ?
DV-NTSC 48 kHz is the way to go with downconverted material.
Does your DV audio setting is 16 bit on FX1 ? (HDV is a fixed one).

When I try downloading Kindle for PC Windows 8 I get the message "this link needs to be opened with an applicatio"-and I don't know what I have to do

Hi, I have just brought a new laptop running windows 8 and have installed Firefox. My old laptop was running XP and I didn't have a problem running Firefox on it. I am trying to install Kindle for PC on my new laptop but I keep getting the message "this link needs to be opened with an application". I've never seen this message before on any web browser that I have used. I have "googled" the question and some suggestions are:
> reloading Firefox-no point I've just loaded it
> downloading through Internet Explorer-which I don't want to do as I want Firefox my browser of choice
> Some talk of changing profiles-which I haven't a clue about.
Any help in plain and simple English and assuming I have no prior knowledge (I'm a car driver rather than a mechanic) will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I'm not familiar with downloads from the Windows 8 app store. Have you had problems with any other store downloads, or just this one? Is it an option to save the file?

Added application opens with Logic 9

Hi,
I use Logic 9.0.0 and Leopard (Mac OS 10.5.8).
An application called CoreMIDIServer.framework always opens with Logic (located in Macintosh HD>System>Library>Frameworks. Has anyone had this? This doesn't seem right.
Thanks.

First, why not update to 9.0.2 or 9.1?
Secondly, where did you see this? In Activity Monitor?
Thirdly, I would expect the coremidiserver to open whenever I open an app that uses MIDI...
having said that, I don't see it in AM when I start Logic - though I believe the Logic splash screen flashes something about initializing it... unfortunately this text only stays on for 38 milliseconds or so, so it is hard/impossible to read...
Do you experience problems?

Open with random frame

Hello.
In .fla file are 3 frames (in each different picture), and I would like to open a random frame each opening.
Can I get this effect?
Please help.

While you would have to stop in the first frame every time just to set things up, you could use the ramdom function to pick a number within a range of numbers and use a gotoANdStop() command with that number as the argument.
In the first frame you could put this code...
gotoAndStop(Math.floor(Math.random()*(3)) + 1);

Problems with clearing frame and repainting

Hi, I'm trying to get to grips with Java 2D and as a little exercise I've set myself, i want to display a string and move it across the frame when the mouse is clicked.
Now, it will paint the string in its new position, but the string in the old position is still there. However if I maximize/de-maximise the frame the old string displayed now disappears.
Any ideas what might be happening here? Might it just be because of my operating system (XP), or have i missed something from my code? I would be thankful for any help.
