Can't move window whose top bar is off screen
I have a window whose top bar is off the screen. The window is a preferences window. Because part of the window is off the screen, I can't properly set the preferences. The program is Quicksilver, but this is a general problem in Mac OSX and I would like a solution for the general problem.
The window got offscreen when I detached an external monitor from my laptop. The window moved from the external screen to my computer's screen, but it moved above the screen. I can see the window in expose, and the bottom of the window normally.
Because the top of the window is above the screen, I am not able to move it. There is no option to maximize the window in the menu bar's "window" setting -- only minimize and close. If I close the window and reopen it, it reopens in the same place.
The general solution on the internet is to use an applescript to move the first window of the first process, but possibly because this window is a preferences window, the applescript does not work.
Is there a way, any way, in mac os x to move any window that is not to drag the top bar? I'm getting really frustrated at this stuck window.
One thing that works sometimes is to change the resolution on your monitor. That might put the window where you can reposition it, then you can put the resolution back where you like it.

New update top bar cuts off screen
Not sure of another way to describe it but the tops of certain apps and games is completely obscured now by the time and battery life bar at the top.
Try a reset. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

I have updated to the latest form of Mozilla Firefox, and the top of the screen is altered so that it occupies far more space than it used to do, leaving far less space for what I want to look at. Why are there spaces between bars? Why are the tabs deeper than they used to be or need to be? How can I eliminate the pointless top bar which merely duplicates the information in the tab bar? Is there any way of simply restoring the previous arrangement?
Okay, I accept that this is just how it is, and there is nothing to be done about it, because no-one except me thinks that the icons and toolbars should be organised to take up minimum space in order to allocate maximum space to the page.
The crowning irony of all this is that, having updated to the latest Mozilla Firefox and consequently having this arrangement at the top of the page which I don't like, the middle of the page now comes up with its old message, 'You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade now.'
Computers are very odd. :( -

How to Remove maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view [MAC]?
Hi.
My Q. is pretty much as the title implies.
It's a small thing, and maybe kind of trivial,
but I'd like to know how to get rid of the maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view in Adobe Reader on the Mac.
I am definitely in fullscreen view [I hit command+L], just so you know,
but I still have that top grey bar showing with the maximize/minimize/close buttons [the red, yellow, and green].
As I said, kind of a trivial concern, but I'd like to know how to hide that in full-screen mode.
I tried searching around a few places for an answer, but there is nothing too obvious.
I can't find anything in the full-screen preferences of reader either. Maybe I'm missing something...
Thanks!Version 11.0 , so I guess that is the most recent?
I think this is an application-specific problem too, because I don't encounter this in full-screen mode with other applications. -
Hey! recently my key board settings has changed and now my volume buttons are no longer F10 and F11, now if i want to change the volume i have to do it on the top bar of the screen! how do i change it back to work normally on my wireless keyboard?
Hi, did you upgrade the OS lately?
I think Spark cured this for another person and the same problem...

Spry Menu Bar jumps off screen-right in CS6
Frustrating little glitch I'm experiencing. When in a NON-LIVE mode in CS6, I have a Spry Menu Bar that I've placed, customized and is functioning properly. It is precisely in the right location in BOTH live mode and in a browser preview, however, when I am editing the site the menu bar jumps off screen right to where I have to scroll right to locate it. The only thing that pops it back in to place is by tweaking a setting like "Float" from right to left then back to right. But once I begin to edit the site again it will jump off the screen. This isn't a massive deal since it remains in place in live and preview modes, it's just annoying for layout purposes while I'm editing. It sort of screws up the aesthetic of the layout. Has anyone found the same problem? Below is my layout.css and my Spry Menu css.

Since iTunes8, I can't keep movie window on top?
I've looked several times, it's CHECKED.
Confirmed (same, and just as before) what Im trying to launch from iTunes is categorized as a movie.
It'll only float on top in iTunes now, as opposed to before could float anywhere?
Restarted, rebooted, etc etc, same same.
HALPok, so oddly enough. right after my post itunes seemed to fix itself. the window is now on top of everything, there was no update or anything, it just fixed itself. i'm guessing it's just a "0.0" bug and i assume that they'll fix it in the next update....
on the same note: when itunes goes to the next video on the playlist, it resizes to the original file size and centers the video window in the middle of the screen and i have to move it to it's corner and resize it which brings me to another glitch/feature.
when i resize the window, itunes no longer stops me from resizing outside the screen! i'll grab a corner and drag it to the edge of my screen and continue on outside the screen! it doesnt stop at the edge anymore so now it takes alot more effort to resize the window!!! anyone else experiencing this? its really odd that i can pull a corner beyond my screen realestate.... -
On some occasions, I get a series of hieroglyphics in the top bar on my web browser, rather than "Firefox - Mozilla Firefox". I'm concerned this may be linked to a virus. Should I be concerned?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I launched FirefoxIf you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
The ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.
The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.
You can disable/remove the ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

Facebook "top bar" scrolls off
One of the features of Facebook, and other sites, is that no matter where you are on the site, some content stays fixed. For Facebook, this is the top bar which has the notifications, the search, and a couple of buttons like your account information.
In Safari 6, this bar stays at the top just fine as long as you are on the page's natural font size. You can scroll up and down all day and the top bar stays there. However, if you zoom in a bit to make the font bigger, eventually scrolling down causes the top bar to scroll up and become not visible. This is true no matter where I am on the page. If I'm at the top, and then zoom, it will start to scroll off right away. If I'm half-way down the page and zoom, the bar shows up as being there, and then scrolls off.
So, it isn't like the bar just goes away. It starts in the right place after a zoom operation, but then doesn't bahave properly when you scroll.
I find this very annoying. This does not happen in Chrome. I can make the fonts much bigger, and the bar stays there. As such, I'm still using Chrome.
Note: this didn't work on Safari 5, either, but I figured they would have fixed it by now!More testing...
On Chrome on Mac, and Chrome on Windows, if the top bar of FB is "all visible", meaning you haven't zoomed in so much that the top bar has lost some of the test to the right of the window or the left of the window, it always stays. If you zoom in a lot such that, say, the "home" link, which is the right-most link of the FB bar, is outside the scope of the window, even Chrome doesn't keep the top bar in place.
On IE under Windows 7, it operates just like Safari - any zoom causes the top bar to scroll away.
I guess this isn't just a Safari thing, then, but Safari should still fix this! -
"can't move objects because they would fall off the drawing area" Why?!
Hi, I'm trying to move a pdf object exported from vectorworks and i get the following error message: "Can't move the objects. The following transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area."
It's not the first time this has happened to me but I usually find a way to get around it. I tried increasing the page size, pasting it into a new bigger document, am i missing something?
thanks!The drawing area is the entire surface available for drawing, and is much larger than the artboard. There are probably objects or unlocked guides that run to the edge of the drawing area.
Unlock all objects and layers, then select all. Turn on Show Bounding Box and zoom out. The edge of the bounding box show the edge of the selected objects Explore the perimeter and delete anything at the edges that's causing the problem. -
I have installed nvidia drivers from nvidias website for my geforce gt 650m on my early 2013 macbook pro retina 15", now i can't use windows in bootcamp, whenever i go into windows it turns into a black screen before i can see my desktop. How do i resolve this?
From the home screen, double click the home button to bring up the Recently used App list. Find the App with the problem and hold your finger on it untl the Apps start to shake. When that happens tap on the (x) on the right side corner of the app to close it.
Tap the home button again to get back to the home screen, and try to open the App again.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad. (there should be no data loss):
Press and Hold the Power and home buttons until the Apple Logo shows up. Ignore any sliders that may appear.
When the iPad turns back on, try opening the App again. -
Windows XP Mode in Win7 off-screen?
When I open Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Enterprise the icon appears on the task bar but it can not be made to open on-screen, nor can it be closed by using the close-window selection on the drop-down screen.
Hitting alt/tab shows it with the other running programs, but clicking on it only returns to the desktop.
Clicking on the task-bar icon causes a rapid transparent box to move to the lower right side of the screen very rapidly, clicking again makes the same transparent box to move rapidly to the task-bar icon.
Could it be that the window somehow moved off the screen? If so, how to get it back. I've tried deleting the .vsv file, but that does not cause any apparent change.
Anyone heard of this before - and hopefully a fix?
AboonahNo help there...and this is a single-monitor set-up.
Another thing I experienced since posting the original question: I tried to simply open the application I need to run - by clicking on it in the Virtual XP Applications folder.
The application opened and ran. I could read and write data, but could not print. When I attempted to print, the application crashed each time.
I also cannot close the XP virtual machine icon on the task-bar. I have to use task-manager to close the process.
