Can I Tile Open Windows?

Is there a way to tile open windows so you can see the titles of each window on top of each other?

Do you mean to have each window appear a little below the previous one so the title bars of the earlier windows are visible just peeking over the top of the new windows? To do that, you have to resize the original window so the bottom of the window is not against the bottom of the screen. Each new window will open at the same size of the starting window, so if you start at full-screen windows, they just pile on top of one another. If the window is full-screen top-to-bottom but does not reach all the way to the right, new windows will tile to the right. But if there is open space below the bottom of the original window, new windows will open slightly lower, keeping the title bars of previous windows visible--until they reach the bottom of the screen again.
Of course, using Expose is a much nicer way to choose between windows, IMHO.

  • Can Safari tile its windows?

    Hi.
    Is there a Safari 2.0.2 command that will tile all open windows, so that I can view them side by side? Tiling with Expose doesn't work for my purposes, because I want to be able to type in each of the tiled windows with the others showing.

  • Address Book: can't "re-open" window once I closed it (Command-W)

    I closed the Address Book window (Command-W) and now want to "re-open" it. So I press Command-Tab to get to Address Book and I can't "re-open" Address Book so I can see it again!

    Someone gave me this answer....
    Actually, there is, as I recently found out....much to my astonishment. It is a bit hard to describe, but actually easy to do. If you have minimized a window to the Dock, use the Command-Tab shortcut to get to the application. With the application selected press the Option key and release the Command key. One minimized window of the application will become un-minimized (if you have more than one minimized application window, you have to un-minimize the other windows the old fashioned way). If the application is hidden, the same steps will make it reappear: Command-Tab to the application, press the Option key and release the Command key.

  • Why can't I open Windows Media Player videos?

    I opened the Tonight Show with Jay Leno web site:
    http://www.nbc.com/nbc/TheTonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/fruitcakelady/
    When I clicked on the link to view videos of The Fruit Cake Lady, I got this message:
    The page “NBC.com > Screening Room” has content of MIME type “application/x-oleobject”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    I’ve tried in vain to find this plug-in. Can anyone tell me where I might get it or how I might get around it?

    Google to the rescue! http://www.google.com/mac?q=nbc+videos led me to http://blog.nocertainthing.co.uk/2006/04/04/hacking-nbcs-videos-cont/ which has complete step-by-step instructions to extract the correct address to play the videos.
    NBC could have designed their web site to do this in a browser-neutral manner. But apparently they hate anyone who doesn't use IE on Windows.

  • Can't close open windows,  Please Help

    I'll have a Safari window open, with multiple tabs, I can close the individual tabs, but to close the only window left, I cannot close it. Any popup windows also will not close. They will shrink to dock, but I cannot close them. Any Help?

    I was facing exactly the same problem after the 10.4.11 / Safari 3.0.4 Update. It is most likely caused by an input manager you have forgotten about. In my case it was the ancient Taboo 0.3. Go to
    Library > InputManagers
    and check for a SIMBL folder.
    Removal of said folder & restarting Safari solved the issue. Brute force of course, you can also look into
    Library > Application Support > SIMBL > Plugins
    and delete the "Taboo.bundle".

  • Can't see/open windows-burned cds

    I have 3 Windows XP-burned cds that don't show up on my Mac desktop when inserted.
    I know when I burned a disk in Vista recently, it gave me the choice of default or mac-readable and I was able to burn that one correctly. I assumed it was the same deal with XP so I gave the disks to a Windows XP friend to redo and she can't see any instructions to make it mac-readable.
    They were burned at different times on two different computers. One has documents that I have the software to open. The other two are .avi movies taken with a digital camera.
    How can I ensure that they will be mac-readable?

    This is more of a, "How to use Windows XP," than a, "How to use Panther" question. Basically you probably need to make sure the disc is closed, and preferably in some Mac compatible format such as ISO 9660.

  • How can I dock icons for every opened windows?

    Hello all,
    First time poster here and first time owner of Mac.  I want to know how I can get all opened windows to show as icons on the dock.  On a Windows OS, any opened window will have an icon on the Taskbar.  Does a Mac OS have the same feature?  And no, I don't want to use the old Expose.  I want to be able to get to an opened window that is hidden behind another window by just one click, instead of moving windows around (so that I can get my intended window to be where I can click on it), or instead of using Expose.
    One way to get the opened windows to appear on the dock is to miminize it.  I find that to be burdensome, especially if you're openeing a lot of windows quickly.  I want to be able to switch between opened windows in just one click.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    You need to either control-click on the application's Dock icon and then regularly click on the item representing that window, or to click and hold the application's icon until the menu appears, and then releasing the button when the cursor is over the menu item.

  • Can I Tile Windows in Tiger?

    Can I Tile Windows in Tiger like on PC? Sometimes I just want to work with all my windows visible at the same time.

    HI, Terrabay.
    There is no system-wide Tile function like you describe. Some applications support tiling of their windows, which would be under their Window menu. Whether or not tiling is supported is application-specific.
    The "All Windows" Exposé shortcut —  F9 by default — displays a spread of all open windows in all running apps, save those windows which have been minimized to the Dock, from which you can select a given window. See this KB search for all Exposé-related Help.
    Good luck!

  • Can you TILE WINDOWS in OSX Tiger?

    I don't mean like Expose, but like the feature in Windows that lets you tile all open windows horizontally or vertically depending on preference.
    The point of this is that I want to see all open windows (across applications) while working in a specific program.
    Windows allows me to do this with a click, does Mac?

  • I haven't synced my iphone 4 with my windows xp pc since Nov 2011.  now I can't even open Itunes.  I get a message that says :the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource tat is unavailable".  I can't uninstall it either.

    When I try to uninstall iTunes so that I can reinstall it, I receive this message:  "The installation source for this product is not available.  Verify that th esource exists and that you can access it".
    I don't understand this as I'm the only one who has ever accessed it.  I set it up when I got my iphone last fall, and haven't synced it since.  Now I can't even open iTunes, nor can I update it, remove the program or reinstall it.
    Any ideas out there?  I'm not a computer whiz, so please keep it simple.  Thanks.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole newFirefox window. How can I fix this?

    All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole new Firefox window. How can I fix this?
    Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
    For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

  • Can I save all open windows, and reload them later?

    Hi,
    I work on different projects using different applications.
    Say I am working on recording, and editing an audio. I have Quicktime open, finder(showing files) and GarageBand. Is there anyway I can save the current open windows, so at a later date I can just resume where I left off, rather then having to reopen the finder window, and the applications. It's almost liek I want a snapshot of what's open.
    Is there a 3rd party program that does this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the answer, but I would really like to close the apps. I may not return to the project for weeks. That's why I would love if a program could save the current open apps, so when I return to my project. I run this program and boom all of my Finders, and applications are restored the way I left them. It saves me time.
