Bring window back to focus after using "command-m"

when i press "command-m" it minimizes any given window to the stack area(dont know if its called that) but when i "command-tab" and select the window i just minimized in an effort to bring it up again, it doesn't(the menu bar changes but i cant see the window itself). Which keyboard combos need i press to bring the window back on focus again?

Command-Tab cycles between applications, not documents in applications.
While command-tabbing, press the down arrow when the particular application is highlighted and you can see its windows.
Also, you can use Exposé to show all application windows. Mine is F10, but it may be different on your computer. Check the Exposé preferences in the System Preferences.

  • How can i change back to os after using bootcamp

    Hi, Im the proud owner of a early 2008 mac, I installed windows 7 on my mac using bootcamp. I wanted to clean up my mac by resetting it, there was nothing I really wanted to keep so thats why I wanted to reset. I went to the setting screen you know the one if you can choose when your starting the mac. I had 2 disks one with os x one with windows after using bootcamp you can seperate your disk in 2 new ones. But after I deleted the one with os x, I was ready to re install os x mountain lion. It seemed to work but after restarting my mac, I couldnt change to os x anymore. And cant remember my password for windows and cant even get a new password (Im supposed to have a password disk for windows or something like that?) So Im really stuck here.
    Can you help me please?

    Try rebooting with the Option key depressed and see if this brings up the bootable devices which includes OS X which you can then select to boot from.

  • Upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro - new window is losing focus after while

    Hi,
    Just upgraded to 8.1 pro. When new window is opened (any application), after about 5-10 secs focus is lost. And again.... I have to click on window to regain focus. VERY ANNOING WHEN TYPING DOCO
    ANY SOLUTION MR MICROSOFT?
    1. Lodged problem with MS, but bo reply for 5 days
    2. Started reading posts on net - some about mouse behaviour got my attention
    3. Downloaded and installed latest drivers for Microsort mouse
    4. Unpluged 'old' mouse and plugged in new mouse(the same model
    5. Problem solved - no more problems with focus
    6. Conclusion - could ba a problem with Windows upgrade - mouse locked?

    For this problem, May be we can check Event Viewer if it identify the problem.
    In addition, try to make a clean boot or boot into Safe Mode to test whether this problem caused by 3rd problem, service or driver.
    For more details about Clean boot, please refer to the link below:

  • WebHelp - With help window open, second application click does not bring help window back into focus

    Hello all,
    Using RH11 to create context sensitive WebHelp for use with apigee-to-go console.
    Console allows URL calls to launch help in a new browser window (named within the help project).  Works fine except that the browser help window does not regain focus when subsequent context calls are made from the application.
    Steps:
    With application running in a browser window, I click a help link.  New browser window opens with correct help topic displayed.
    Return to application without closing help window.  Application window takes focus; help window moves to back.
    I click another help link. Help window does not regain focus.  However, it DOES move to the correct topic.
    I've tried lots of things.  Nothing seems to fix this.
    For reference, my context call looks like this:
    http://<URL>/index.htm#<id=37>>wnd=HelpPopup
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
    Jeff Seltzer

    Thanks for the responses, but this doesn't really help.
    I'm using a simple URL to make the call.
    (That's all I can do within the web app API console I'm working with.)
    If I knew how to crack open all of the javascript that RH creates (and had that much time to work on it), I'd try to address it.
    I have to give up for now.
    I've just appended >>newwnd=false to the end of my calls, so the help appears in another browser tab, rather than its own window.
    This isn't great, since each call opens a new tab, but that's better than the help window disappearing behind the sea of open windows most of us have going on, only to cause the user to hunt for it (if they even know it's there).
    So, <URL>/index.htm#<id=37>>wnd=HelpPopup
    becomes <URL>/index.htm#<id=37>>wnd=HelpPopup>>newwnd=false
    Thanks all for your pointers.
    If I ever find the time to really work on this issue, I'll post a fix (if there is one).
    (Again, I suspect this is just buggy RH javascript.  RH knows enough to update the contents of the help/browser window, but not enough to focus it.)
    Best,

  • Windows don't close after using flash

    When viewing certain flash videos I am unable to close down firefox or any of its windows. When trying to save an image and pressing the save button it doesn't save it or close the browse window that is open.
    Same when trying to clear the cache the window doesn't close and the files are not deleted. The only way I have found to close firefox is through ending its process in Task manager.

  • Local machine's taskbar stays in focus after using saved connection settings

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask as I have only seen this happen on thin clients we use running Windows Embedded Standard 2009. I cannot reproduce the issue on Windows 7 and do not have any XP machines to hand at the moment (having recently
    killed them all off).
    This is a minor issue but does confuse and annoy some users when they attempt to use these terminals. Basically we have them set up with a saved RDP shortcut that points to our terminal server. When they open this it will connect to the server in full-screen
    as intended, however the taskbar of the local machine remains visible and in focus, and anything the user types will not go in the Username field on the remote server. A single click is all that is required to be able to start entering credentials, however
    you would understand not all users immediately notice and it is quite annoying.
    Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it? It only happens when you use a saved .rdp file and does not happen if you were to open Remote Desktop Connection click Connect.

    H,
    Based on my experience, it seems to be a Windows Embedded Standard 2009 side issue. Therefore, I would like to suggest you post the question in Windows Embedded Standard forums
    for help.

  • Messed up Windows 8.1 install after using Boot Camp 4 drivers

    Hey guys, I just finished successfully installing Windows 8.1 on my Mac with Lion. There were no issues there, but I royally screwed up the Windows partition after trying to install the Boot Camp support software from a USB flash drive. I didn't look into it enough and am now realizing (after the fact of course) that I needed Boot Camp 5.1 for support for Windows 8.1!
    I realized that something was wrong when I tried to install the drivers and software from my Boot Camp 4.0.4 and I received a prompt on Windows telling me that it expected Windows 7 instead and then asked me to run in compatibility mode to see if that works. I stupidly clicked yes and then my Windows locked the screen on me. So of course, I unlocked it and the display is all messed up with my battery indicator at the top left, most of the screen is black and a small portion on the right side is not black. It instantly locks itself again. I can only repeat the process with no way to correct it (that I know of).
    Is this install of Windows 8.1 salvageable? I am getting the new drivers from Boot Camp 5.1 now, but it won't help if I can't even get to the desktop for Windows. Help!

    Right - this would be the easiest thing to do. Will I have issues the Windows license being activated again? I have actually never had to reinstall before so I have never had license issues.

  • Can't remove PC-DOS from Windows 7 Boot menu after using PC-Doctor for DOS Bootable CD

    I have a T60, Win 7 Pro
    I had some issues and tried the PC-Doctor for Dos bootable CD to run some diagnostics. Since then, upon bootup, I have a PC-DOS option in my boot menu that just won't go away.
    Using EasyBSD, the only os supposed to be in the bootloader menu is Win 7, yet, everytime I boot up, I get the boot menu. 
    I even tried using bcdedit to sstop displaying the boot menu but it still appears (for a split second).
    Looking for some help in steps to remove the PC-DOS option from my windows 7 boot menu.

    Hi,
    I have tried something like that with ZenWalk (Slackware- based distro) and it worked for me on my  Lenovo b305 with ATI 5450, no problems like that. Not sure about how Ubuntu will deal with these AIO systems. But I have a feeling that it is not your HD or booting, sounds like a video problem. ATI and Linux don't get on well.
    Can you see the console y Alt +F1? perhaps you have to reconfigure Xorg manually. 
    My advice is to ask in Ubuntu forums they might have better ideas. ATI 5??? line is still "new"  for Linux and  the open drivers need time to work properly.
    Also keep in mind IdeaCentre was not build for Linux...Issues like this might happen also post install.
    Hope this helps, 
    Sergio

  • Back light only after using thunderbolt display

    Hello,
    I have a new 2012 Macbook pro 17 and a 27 inch thunderbolt display.
    The Macbook was working great. Then I connected it to the thunderbolt display and did clamshell mode. That worked well too. But.. then I powered down the macbook, disconnected the thunderbolt dislplay and tried to boot back up again. The mac book powers on, the back light comes on, I hear the chime then that is it. The back light stays on nothing else happens. Resetting the PRAM can not be done. Any of the boot options are ignored. It is like the keyboard is non resposive. I tried all the reset and boot  combinations available but nothing works.
    The light on the front of the macbook comes on then goes dim. The apple logo on the lid stays lit, and if I close the lid, the apple logo goes dim and the light on the front lights up. Weird, it is almost like it goes to sleep when it turns on. I tried conntecting the thunderbolt again but no joy. I am really disappointed. This is less than a month old and its already going in for repair. It should be replaced.
    Me No Gusta!

    Well, I tried the other reset method too. I removed the battery which was extremely easy. I found a tri tip screw driver I used to open Nintendo Wii's this was a perfect fit for the 3 tri screws that were used to hold in the battery.
    Anyway, it still did not work. Wow, I gotta tell you, this apple ****, is complete junk. I just turned a Lenovo into a hackbook. It actually seems faster than the i7 macbook that is screwed up. Never again apple, never again.

  • Can you buy a mac book air in america then bring it back to england to use?

    I will be going to america in the near future and was wondering whether if id be able to pick up a mac book air from an apple store over there. Should they work over here? Is there anything i should know ? thanks.

    Yes, as other posters have said simply remove all packaging. Pick yourself a nice laptop bag and carry it on the flight as hand luggage, and don't declare it to customs! Buy yourself a 13amp US - UK plug and you're fine to connect the power cable to UK mains.
    Also, if anything happens to go wrong with your Mac in the UK, so long as you are still in warranty it will be hounored in any UK Apple store.
    Good luck.

  • Dynamic Action on "Get Focus" After Closing a Popup Window

    Hi,
    From one of APEX Application Pages I am calling a Popup Window where users can create a new record. In the Popup Window once the record is created and window is closed, I want to refresh the region on the main page to show the record created in the popup window.
    How do I create a dynamic action which will fire when the main APEX window gets the focus (after the popup window is closed). ?
    Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ashish Agarwal
    http://www.asagarwal.com

    Assuming that you have a dynamic action in the parent page which refreshes the region
    <li> Make a note of the event which triggers your dynamic action, lets call this event A.
    <li> Create a JS function in parent page which triggers event A when called.
    For example if your Dynamic Action trigger is a button(id ="P100_REFRESH") press event
    Your JS function could be
    function Trigger_refreshRegion()
      $('#P100_REFRESH').click();
    The way in which you simulate the Dynamic action deoends on the firing event that you have used, so modify it appropriately.
    <li>Now in the pop up page, if you are closing the page in JS using smthing like window.close() or so,
    just call the parent page's refresh JS function there using the
      opener.Trigger_refreshRegion(); //whatever was the name of the function that you created.

  • Communicate with servlet after using Java Web Start?

    Is it possible to communicate with servlet to get data back and forth
    after using Web Start to download the client application?
    The demos come with Java Web Start are applications which are
    standalone, don't need communicate with the servlet on Web server
    after being launched. I am wondering if it is possible, and how (HTTP
    & JAX-RPC)?
    Thanx in advance.

    I've done this using HTTP. I get the server and port from the codebase:
    BasicService bs = null;
    try {
    bs = (BasicService)ServiceManager.lookup("javax.jnlp.BasicService");
    String codeBase = bs.getCodeBase().toString();
    and use the java.net.HttpURLConnection and java.net.URL classes to send HTTP parameter values to the servlet and to receive results from the HttpURLConnection's input stream.
