Apps not remembering which display to use

I have an iMac with a secondary display. I have Thunderbird on my Secondary display at all times. When I close Thunderbird then reopen, it does not remember to open in the secondary display. How do I fix this?

See if it will reset this way.

After reopening Firefox does not remember which desktop was used for each window. Can you help, please.

I'm using two displays and several desktops on my Mac (OS X 10.9.4).
When I need to restart Firefox, it remembers to open windows from last session in correct display, but does not remember which desktop was used for each window. So when the application starts, it opens all windows on a desktop which is currently active instead of reopening them on desktops used during the last session. How to fix the issue?

Hi Nerva,
Thank you for your question, there is a add on I have been recommended to custom set up of opening windows in new monitors. It's called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master].
However, in regards to the session remembering which monitor the window was open in, in the profile folder there is a file that stores window positions and dimensions. It is called localstore.rdf.
Please stay tuned for more investigation, as there are definitely bugs on file for similar issues. Pinpointing it is the hard part.

Firefox will not remember which application to use to open .ris files

Every single time I download a .ris file, used for downloading/importing bibliographic references into citation management software such as EndNote, I tell Firefox to remember to open it with EndNote... and every time, it forgets. Going into the applications tab of preferences shows that, indeed, ris is not listed, though I've been telling it to save this preference for about a year now. Other reference file types are opening automatically with EndNote, as desireed, but Firefox will simply not learn .ris for some reason, and there's no option for me to manually put this into the list!

Download action are always linked to a specific MIME type send by the server and not the file extension.<br />
If you can't set an automatic action then that most likely means that the server doesn't use a MIME type that Firefox recognizes and accepts.

My apps no longer remember which display to open on.

My apps no longer remember which display to open on. With Mountain Lion, once a window was set up on a particular display and the app was quitted, when reopening, it would be on the same display. Now they all seem to default to the primary display.

I'm having the exact same problem. Another bug I've noticed, mostly with Apple Mail, is that when you close the window (not quit), and open it again, it will shift positions down the screen repeatedly until it hits the bottom right of the screen. Almost like when you open a lot of documents in an app and they stagger.
Hmmm; that's interesting...I haven't noticed that on my system, but I'll keep an eye out for that as well.

Window not remembering the display it was on

Hi,
Dual Displays and Mavericks:
Before Maverick I would have certain applications like mail and the finder open on one monitor and other apps open on the other. Now with mavericks they do not remember which monitor they opened last on and stick there were I last left them. They always open open on the last display you clicked the desktop on. Any setting to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

I just came across a solution. I think this might work for you, even though it seems kludgy:
Your situation may vary, but I'm using a MacBook Pro with an external LCD monitor and want to use both displays, each with their own desktop space
Open Mission Control and add a desktop by moving your cursor to the top right of your display and clicking on the new window that appears from the right
You should now have 3 desktops at the top of your display when Mission Control is open
In my case, my laptop's display is Desktop 1 and my external display is Desktop 3
Now, on the dock, right click on an app you're trying to stick to a particular desktop and choose Options -> Assign to Desktop X where X is the display you want the app to stay on
In my case, I want Mail to always show up on my laptop screen, which is Desktop 1, so I choose Options -> Assign to Desktop 1. The reason I say this is kludgy is because I never use Desktop 2, but it has to exist in order for the Dock -> Options -> Assign To menu to appear. If I just have Desktop 1 and Desktop 2, that option does not exist when I right click on an app in the dock.
*UPDATE: It seems that once I perform the steps above, then close the third Desktop so my laptop is Desktop 1 and my external monitor is Desktop 2, mail will finally stick to Desktop 1 even though the option to assign Mail to a particular desktop disappears from Dock options when I right click the Mail icon. However, every time I open a new window, the sizing is off and the window is halfway off the screen. I have to maximize the app window every time I open it.

Is there a way to select which display to use??

Hi,
I think my problem is OS dependent but i'm still gonna ask...
Code related to this problem is:
Process runner;
Runtime t = Runtime.getRuntime();
runner = t.exec("<path-to-office>\powerpnt.exe /s '<path-to-show>\show.ppt'");
// The program in line above is not nessecary powerpoint it can be also Acrobat or web browser!!
// (basicly anythig which can be run on full-screen mode from command line)
The Problemo:
I have a computer (running on Win XP) which has two (or more) displays attached (Matrox G550),
do i have a chance to detect amount of displays and if there is more than one display, can i somehow
select in Runtime which display to use to show results of code above?
Matrox solution was "when you run program once in certain display , it should be opened in same
display next time", well... what if i shoud use 2 powerpoints in same time to have x kind of ppt in one
screen and y kind in second screen wich has totally different kind of info what screen x does?
If it's possible with JFrame to decide wich screen to use, i'm almost shure that i can change program to
use pictures instead of external programs.

Hmm, I don't know how you would do this with out going native, but for Java frames you can use the following links.

My iPad asks for my iCloud password but I can not. that I can do? the problem is that I try to access it by putting my email but I do not remember which was which I put.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT204306 when I restart my ipod I appeared that I have to activate it , but I can not remember which is the email that is associated with my ipod

when I restart my ipod I appeared that I have to activate it , but I can not remember which is the email that is associated with my ipod and I can not use until you activate it and use all those who believed that they could be and I get not you can use this email

To address this at the Apple ID level, use Apple's iForgot service, or click here and contact Apple.
To address this at the device level, you need to be its original owner, and take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

I'm sorry, I do not fully understand your question. However if you are looking for the email address which you have used for your iTunes account, you can find this out by using the "get info" command on any items you have previously purchased from iTunes and navigating to the summary tab.

I do not know which email i used for the my old apple ID.

I do not know which email i used for the my old apple ID. All I know is that it goes C*****@gmail.com. Is there any way for me to figure out my username or email used for the apple id without having the username or email logged in?

You need to try each one you think it might be, or try using Apple’s iForgot service, or if you’re the device’s original owner, take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

Getting an app to remember which screen I want it on (multiple displays)

I'm trying to get my browser to open up on the display on the right, but it always opens on the display on the left. I move it over, but it will still go to the left. I created a new space for it while on the right, but it will still open on the left.
Any idea how to get it to remember which side I want it to open on?

I figured it out. I needed to drag the little menu bar to the other display in the settings.

Third Party Apps Not Opening on iPhone 5 using iOS 6.0.2

I have an iPhone 5 and am using iOS 6.0.2 and recently certain third party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Shazzam for instance, no longer open. When I tap on the app, the app comes up on the screen for about a second, and then closes. What's strange is that I've been using iOS 6.0.2 and have also been using the most updated versions of the apps without any issues. The crashing started happening around last Friday. Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem so far but none of these options have worked:
- I restarted my phone by holding down the home button and the lock button.
- I turned my phone off and turned it on again.
- I deleted the apps and reinstalled them and then restarted my phone.
- I downloaded a random free app, opened it, and then tried opening the apps that kept crashing.
- I restored my phone and synced it using the most recent back up I had, which was from earlier that day.
I did find a temporary solution, that allows the apps to open but I think it's because the apps are not the most recent versions.
- I restored my phone and set it up as a new phone. The phone then downloaded all of the apps again and re-synced everything. The apps did open after that however, when I went to the app store, it said that I had 24 available updates. I updated all of the apps to their most up to date versions and then noticed that they once again stopped opening and would crash almost immediately after launching them.
- I then restored my phone again and set it up as a new phone and did not update the 24 apps and all but one of them work. The only app that I've noticed that still doesn't work is the Blackboard Eats app. It still crashes almost immediately after launching it.
I took my phone to the Genius Bar this weekend (which is where I was told to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone). I'm thinking that the issue is purely a software issue, but is there any chance that it could be a hardware issue?
I suppose I could just not update the apps, but I'm hoping there's a better solution than that. What's weird is that the phone was working with iOS 6.0.2 and all of the most up to date versions of the apps less than a week ago and it seems that somehow, overnight, they stopped working.
Is anyone else running into this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

The music player does not remember where the last session ended. I have about 1000 songs on my iPhone. I play the songs in the Shuffle mode - and it worked fine on iOS 5.x. Ever since I updated to iOS 6.0, the shuffle seems to be seriously broken. It repeats the song sequence of previous session in the exact order instead of starting from where the session ended. God forbid if your last session was 10-25 songs long - you'll have to hit the Next song so many times to listen to something that you have not heard for a while.
