Capture window won't disappear

Whenever I'm capturing something, the capture window moves itself in front of everything else, including other programs. I know that it doesn't have to be like this, but how do you change that setting?

Well, using FCP rescue will trash all my settings - right?< </div>
Of course it will. But not before it makes a copy of your prefs file.
You cannot separate the possible prefs problem from a possible prefs cause without trashing the entire prefs file. There just aren't that THAT many settings that you can't recall them and re-establish them.
You certainly do not need FCP REscue to do this, just make a coyp of your prefs file, call it something unique, move it out of the prefs folder to someplace where you can find it and trash the original.

Capture window won't read time code any more

I haven't seen this exact problem listed on the board before --
When digitizing, the TC display in the upper right corner of the Log & Capture window wouldn't "turn over" from TC 07:59:29:29 to 8:00:00:00. No big deal, I set the out point slightly before hour 8, and the clips were captured without a problem.
Now, when trying to digitize the next tape, it doesn't see TC at all. The counter stays at 00:00:00:00. I've re-started the app and the computer, re-powered my "deck" (a Canon ZR100 camcorder), and re-seated the FW cable on both ends.
What can I do to get Log & Capture to read TC again?

Cleaning the tape heads didn't do anything, except cause me to notice that the ZR100 wasn't seeing the TC either. It can read TC for tape #24 and beyond (where the record TC was set back to the 0 hour).
Does this mean that perhaps the DP didn't record with LTC or VITC for tapes 8 through 23? Is there one type of TC that consumer camcorders won't see?
I promise to Google this, but I swear you guys are generally just as fast.

Firefox for Mac: Upload/Attachment window won't disappear

Howdy -
I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10, and Firefox 32.0.3.
Frequently, but without consistency, the upload file or attachment window will not disappear after I have selected a file.
For example, in Wordpress, I will go to import a file to Media. I will select the file and try to add it. It will be added, but the window from which I made my file selection does not go away. It can't be moved, it can't be interacted with, I can't pull any other window on top of it.
Or in an email, to add an attachment, I will select the file, press OK and the upload window will hang.
This happens regularly, but not with any pattern or consistency. It seems to happen more if I press return to select a file versus clicking the OK button, though that is not a failsafe way of doing it.
Would be thrilled to hear if anyone has a solution or a troubleshoot to this.
Thanks for your help and best regards.

First I would recommend updating to Firefox 33. Second since this happens with javascript I wonder if this is happening for an interaction of hardware acceleration or an add on. To test, please see if the issue occurs less often when you start Firefox in Safe Mode: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

Speech recognition feedback window won't disappear

There is an article on how to get the speech recognition to appear when it wont. But nothing for when turning off speakable items in preferences doest make that annoying little feedback window go away. Any ideas?
OS Lion 10.7.4

I just deleted the .speech.recognition..plist files, and they were automatically recreated by the system. After a restart I turned off then on the speech recognition and everything worked perfectly!

'visitor survey' window won't disappear and Safari won't respond.

Started a google search on Safari and a window saying "I've been selected for a visitor survey..." popped up with a web address of ____?___ accountzcentral.org. I've quit Safari, shut the computer completely down several times and when I start up again the window is still there. I can't close the Safari window, can't use Google, etc.
What do I do? Help! It's a brand new macBook Pro!

Quit Safari (by force if necessary.) Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the page from reloading automatically.

SCCM 2012 R2: Build and Capture - Windows 8.1 prompting for network

I have upgraded my SCCM 2012 SP1 (CU2) to SCCM 2012 R2 and I am attempting to Build and Capture Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Everything is perfect except for the OS prompting for a network selection during the process, if I click "next" on that screen
the Capture finishes without incident. The same is true of the Deploy as well...
Is this a bug from my upgrade?

Hi LillonelC
Can you point out how and where to do this?
When capturing with MDT 2013 on VMware I do not see this, naturaly, since the "machine" only has one network adapter.
But when deploying to a Laptop I get the wireless Setup screen...
On beforehand Thank You!
With kind regards
We aren't using MDT but what we did was create a package called Windows 8.1 - Compnents. In it placed a file named "32Bit-Unattend.xml" and 1 named "64Bit-Unattend.xml".
During the capture in the "Apply Operating System Image" I put a check in the box "Use an unattended or Sysprep answer file for a custom installation". The package was Windows 8.1 - Compnents the File name was "32Bit-Unattend.xml".
I did the same for 64-bit and used the 64-bit version.

Windows won't close; app won't exit

Hi,
After some system admin (on Solaris 2.7) my Swing GUI application won't terminate and the main window won't
close. My code in my main window is:
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
System.exit(0);
I have to do 'ps' and 'kill -9 <pid>'. The same behavior occurs w/ the Swing Java tutorial apps; e.g.,
I only added a System.out.println("Window closing event captured") in the ListDemo.java src. WHen I close the
main window, I see this string displayed but the window
doesn't close (or it starts to, goes blank) and the app
doesn't exit.
I'm fairly certain it's an environmental problem, but
am stuck as to what to investigate. If anyone has
seen this behavior and could shed some light, I'd be
appreciative...
Thanks,
Marcia

I tried doing this: In the tutorial's ListDemo.java src, I replaced the entire WindowAdapter() code block with one line:
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
This didn't help (w/ either JDK 1.4.0 or JDK 1.4.1, on
Solaris). The app still doesn't terminate. The xterm from which I launched the app isn't responding to control-C. I have to kill the xterm. Also, if I can't write a WindowAdapter, how can I do some other stuff
(like closing network connections, etc.) before exiting?
Thanks for the help; any further suggestions would be welcome.

Safari windows will not disappear after closing

When I close windows under Safari, they will keep on staying in full screen but turn completely grey. The whole windows becomes grey and it won't disappear until i restart safari. i can switch between full screen windows and everything just as it would be a running program. This appeared since i upgrade from the beta to official release. Can't upload a pic for some reason on here.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

"Unable to capture window image"

if I select a window to be screenshot, I get this error:
Your screen shot can’t be saved.
Unable to capture window image.
(shortcut: cmd-shift-4 and then space)
It seems to be new in Lion. Never had that problem before. And regular screenshots seem to work fine (cmd-shift-3).
Thanks for any help! ~ Kai

Thanks Davide ...
I created com.apple.screencapture.plist with Terminal and restarted the Mac.
The first couple of window screenshots worked on a Chrome browser window (command-shift-4, then space bar). But it did not work on other app's windows (Finder, Carousel).
Then I switched back to Chrome and I didn't work there too anymore. Crazy thing is that now it works on Finder windows. Very very strange.
All this is only true for capturing a whole window content (command-shift-4, then space bar)

Help! Mail freeze: window won't open, nor will it close so I can restart

I've just had a strange problem with Mail. The window won't open - or has issues with opening (it did, but only briefly). It's generally having problems - its menus aren't dropping down - and I would like to quit and restart the computer (a Mac Mini). I've tried an apple q and nothing is happening. So the computer won't restart unless I force a shut down by manually holding down the button.
Any suggestions most welcome…

On MacBook Pro, trashing anything requires password. How to fix so it doesn't. Also, finder window won't reopen in same place. How to fix?

On my MacBook Pro, trashing files and folders requires that I input my password. How do I fix it so that I don't have to do that every time? Also, finder windows won't reopen in same place and configuration that I left them in when I closed them. How do I fix this?

My guess is that you are storing your files on the root level of your HD. If so, move the files in to your user folder and you shouldn't get password prompts.
Once you close a finder window you cannot continue that session. You can set the default location that a finder window opens however. Click on the finder, from the menubar select FInder/Preferences then click on the "General" tab. Where it says "New Finder windows open", you can select any folder on your drive as the default. My sggestion would be to set it to your User folder where you should be storing your files.

Is it possible to resize the log and capture window?

Hi,
Using Final cut pro, I would like to make my capture window a bit bigger while capturing. I am capturing footage via my Blackmagic Infinity card and get the input through an HDMI cable. I'm capturing in Apple Pro ress on 720p, 59,59 fps.
For a good overview of what I'm capturing at the moment, I would love to have a bigger capture window. For all I know, FC pro doesn't support the resizing of the log and capture window. Anyone an idea on how to solve this?
Thank you.

In my case, the capture window is adjustable if I am capturing SD (DVCAM) video. I can also use the scopes in this case. (Good if you are recording to disk, or using a laptop for monitoring.)
However, both features (adjustable capture window and scopes) are not available if capturing HD (HDV in my case) video.

What is the size of capture window for MX440-VTD8X?

I am trying to figure out how best to resize video I have captured with my MX440-VTD8X. For the application I am using (AVISynth) I need to calculate the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), for this I need to know the size of the capture window for my video capture card.
I think that this card uses a Philps SAA-7114H, although I cannot be certain as MSI don't seem to publish this fact anywhere. (I found a few references to the 7114 via Google so that is the best lead I have had so far).
Anyway, even if I knew it used a 7114H that doesn't much help as I can't find any published data that tells me what the capture window (in microseconds) is for this card. The WDM driver might modify the window so how, so I can't just look it up in the datasheet for the 7114H.
I am looking for figures for the capture window for both PAL and NTSC,
could someone please help?
many thanks,
Kevin

To quote from the article I have been using which gives step-by-step instructions on how to calculate to aspect ratio ..
(Pixel Aspect Ratio, Source Aspect Ratio and Target Aspect Ratio)
"To determine your source PAR, you first have to know what the aspect ratio of the capture window of your capture device is. This capture window is fixed, but again it is rarely exactly 4:3. The device always digitizes the same area of your video and resizes it to the size you set in your capture application. The raw captured height is always 480 lines for NTSC and 576 for PAL. The width of the capture window has to be determined. A table with known values (and a more elaborate explanation) can be found in section 5.4. A method for determining this value yourself can be found in chapter 11.
Once you know the capture window width, the Image Aspect Ratio of your device can be calculated as:
PAL IAR = (4 / 3) * ([window width in µs] / 52.0 µs) / (576/576)
NTSC IAR = (4 / 3) * ([window width in µs] / 52.6555 µs) / (480/486) "
The 'window width' is given for some capture cards in the guide, but unfortunately not the MSI one I am using, and the 'window width' does vary from one type of capture card to another.
Without this information I am at a brick wall. There is a method to determine the window by using a PAL DVD player as the source video, playing some test image, the problem is that I only have an NTSC DVD player so I can't use that technique,
this is something that the manufacturer must know, but unfortunately they rarely publish it,

Adobe camera raw window won't resize and can't reach buttons

When I open an image from bridge into adobe camera raw 6.1 (Photoshop CS5) on my laptop, the camera raw window fills all of the screen (top to bottom) and the buttons at the bottom of the window are below the task bar. Thus I can't open the image in photoshop except by hitting the enter key. I can't reach the open, etc buttons. The window won't resize and there are no icon/buttons in the right upper corner to go to/from full screen. When I hit the icon in the top right hand menu bar in ACR (to go to full screen size) the window then fills the whole width of the screen in addition to the height, but no matter what I do I can't get the height of the window to shrink, so that I can access the icons at the bottom of the screen. What am I missing? Thanks

Don't worry about turning aero off just yet.
There are two key first questions:
What is your screen resolution (width in pixels x height in pixels)? Right-click on desktop, choose Screen Resolution.
What setting have you chosen for the display size (Smaller, Medium, Larger) in the Display dialog? Right-click on desktop, choose Personalize, then Display.
