Can't find application error window in Mac

Often when I get an error requiring an acknowledgement, I can't find the window. I try docks/expose/etc... but can't find the window to acknowledge and get this "BOING" sound trying to click on the application window. For example, iPhone syncing with iTunes is having trouble, gives me an error message (and a verbal "iTunes" needs your attention)... BUT I can't find the acknowledgement window and end up force-quitting iTunes and restarting it instead.
Please help a recovering PC user figure out how to bring forward the acknowledge window.

Presumably the error dialog is hidden by other windows you have open. There are a few alternatives. You can locate the Dock icon for the application that generated the error. This should bring the current window forward which should be the error dialog. You can bring the application that produced the error forward then use the Windows menu to locate the error window and bring it forward. You can use COMMAND-` to cycle through all the open windows of the frontmost/active application. COMMAND-TAB will cycle through all open applications.

    You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That should reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
    You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
    Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements

  • Distiller "can't find font" error with MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS

    Hi. I'm tried to verify that Distiller (both 9 and XI) and PDF Generator (11.0 SP1) are able to generate PDFs from Postscript files using a variety of fonts. Almost every font that I tried works perfectly fine, but MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS both fail with "can't find font" errors. I've verified font configurations in both Distiller and PDF Generator, and lots of other fonts work fine. I've also verified that the two fonts are installed, enabled, and can be used in other applications (e.g., MS Word). In fact, I can generate PDFs from MS Word documents on the same server that use both of those fonts. I suspect the errors are misleading in that those apps can find the fonts, but are unable to open or use them for some reason. I've been able to replicate this behavior both on Windows Server and Mac OS X.
    Has anyone seen behavior like this? Any suggestions on how to get more information out of these Adobe apps to get a better idea what the real error is?

    Addirional note: This is a java class within a JavaFX application if that is relevant.
    It does seem to be relevant - if I create the same class as part of a Java application rether than a JavaFX application it compiles without error. Is the imported java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment different in the tow cases??

    then you can click Login Options.
    under that, Network Account Server. This should show you what server your computer is tied to. If you aren't in the tech department, you could try asking them.

  • Where can I find free Christmas stationery for Mac Mail version 6.2?

    Where can I find free Christmas stationery for Mac Mail version 6.2 on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.2??? Everything I've tried to download is from 2008-2009 and isn't compatible.
    ~Patty

    Dear sig,
    Thank you for responding. When I Googled, I received a list of suggested web sites, but they were all posted in 2008-2009 and, when I downloaded the application, they were not compatible with OS 10.8.2 and/or Mail 6.2. I did find an app in the App Store called "Stationery for Mail" for $6.99 (less expensive than equinux or ipresentee) that had one Christmas email template and several others for other occasions/seasons. I purchased that one so that I'd have at least one email template to use for now, but I'd love to find more templates for future use that are FREE.
    I can't believe Apple hasn't created more email stationery templates for download (freeware) on its web site. I can find screensavers and wallpapers, but nothing for Mail.
    If you or anyone else finds or knows of a website with FREE email stationery templates for Mail 6.2, please let me know.
    Thank you!
    ~Patty

    I downloaded a movie from iTunes on my iPhone 4S, went out of the wifi zone and now my movie is no where to be found. I can't find it on my iPhone, Mac or iPad. Where is it?

    Sounds like the movie didn't finish downloading before the Wi-Fi signal dropping ...
    Try re downloading. You won't be charged again.

    I rented a movie from Apple, it shows the charge but I can't find it anywhere on my Mac or IPad...help

    Which did you rent it on ? On an iPad it should have downloaded into the Videos app, if on your Mac is there a 'Rentals' tab at the top of the Movies section of your library ?

    There were no PowerBooks made in 2007. By then Apple had switched over to Intel and they were making MacBook instead.

  • Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
    Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.

  • IPhone iMovie trailer shared to iTunes can't find in iTunes on my Mac

    Basically, the subject line says it all. I created a trailer on my iPhone in the iOS iMovie app. I selected share to iTunes. I can't find the trailer in my mac's iTunes. Trying it again has gotten me the message 'already shared to iTunes.'

    I don't find a 'Video' section in the iTunes iOS app. Only 'Music, Movies, TV Shows, Audiobooks, Tones, Genius, Purchased, and Downloads'. My iPhone trailer I created does not seem to be in the 'Movies' section (those look like movies available to rent).
    On the iMac, I have successfully shared 2 iMovies (from the full iMovie app on the iMac) into iTunes and those show up.
    I just can't find where, if anywhere, my iPhone's iMovie app would be sending those movies or trailers that I've created and that the iOS app says have already been sent to iTunes.
