Changing focus - window issues and .chm

Two questions:
1) When choosing any mailto: or website link from a .chm, a
new window opens, as expected, but the TOC changes to "hidden."
When click anywhere in the Help window, the TOC shows. Going back
and forth from the message window/website and the help file, you
will see the behavior. Our QA flagged this as a potential issue.
Is this the expected behavior? Or, is there a setting to
prevent it from hiding? (I would like the Contents, Search, and
Index tabs to show when the .chm is first opened.) However, I don't
see the purpose of the Show/Hide being activated when changing
focus.
2) After opening a message window or web page from a .chm,
the Help window remains on top of the message window/web page. The
message window is indeed active for composing (is in focus), but it
is often necessary to reposition the help window (which is
annoyingly still on top of the new window) to be able to
compose--same with being able to see the full web page.
Again, is this expected? Is there a setting for having true
focus -- not always having the .chm stay on top but go behind when
you change focus to compose a message or view a web page that you
have initiated from the .chm?
Thank you very much for any tips you can suggest.

Anne,
There is a setting for a window to be "top-most." I may not
be able to tell you how to get there in RH as I use an old version.
In the project settings, window definitions, find
properties/advanced/extended styles and be sure Top-most window is
deselected.
If you can't find it in RH, you can add 2 (hex) to the
NavPaneStyle parameter in the window definition in your .hhp file

OS X Lion keeps changing focus window away from browser, why?

Basically,
I just upgraded to Lion a day or two ago. I am finding that while I am typing in Firefox, the OS takes the focus out of the browser. So as I keep trying to type all I hear is a sound, (the sound that the keys I am pressing are invalid). This is very annoying, and I am not sliding my hand over the trackpad or anything like that. It seems to happen more when I am pausing for a second, and most importantly after pressing the enter key.
So my question is how to i disable this, or what the heck is going on. I never had this problem in Snow Leopard and to me is a huge inconvience.
My system is a MacBook Pro Jan 2011 Unibody, I really don't think more then that is relevant but I would be happy to submit it if it is.
Even in typing this it has happened more then five times in less then ten minutes. Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hello fellow Mac users,
The root cause of this issue will be different for everyone as it’s usually some rogue app or process that isn’t working properly. In my case it was a Symantec utility called ‘SymUIAgent.app’.
Follow these steps to identify what specifically is causing the issue on your computer
Save the code on this file to your desktop using the filename id_issue.py: https://gist.github.com/iMerica/8928556/raw/73832a509de4dc5394cf1747b997ea1bd1b0 ff4e/identify_focus_issue.py
Open Terminal.app (Located in /Applications/Utilities)
In Terminal, cd to your Desktop using cd ~/Desktop
Run python id_issue.py and just let your computer sit for a few minutes (assuming the issue is happening within a few minutes/seconds).
Basically this code gets the current active window every three seconds and prints it as standard output which you can view in Terminal. Once you find the offending app, search on Google for specific steps on removing it.
I hope that helps!

I HAVE RECENTLY CHANGED TO WINDOWS 7 AND I CANNOT ACCESS MY YAHOO MAIL FROM WINDOWS VISTA

do i have to change my EMAIL address if i change to a different computer

Hello. You need to change the energy use setting that computer uses max it out. Then it will work just fine. My is touchsmart 600-1050. The computer was preset to use minimum amount of electricity when in idle. I changed all the setting to high. Now every thing runs just like a Windows XP version computer. Thats how I got my screen savors to work. I also upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 7 Ultimate now I am able to run a lot more XP software. Test your pond screen saver make sure that working with windows open. That will tell you if it is a software issue if it doesn't work. That is the case then restore it from your D: drive.

How can I recover passwords in firefox 13.0.1, after an OS change [reinstalled windows 7] and the old programs are in a windows.old folder. Thanks in advance...

1.PerfLogs, 2.Program Files, 3.ProgramData, 4.Users, 5.Windows and 6.autoexec
These were the six folders listed inside windows.old folder. I tried to paste a snapshot of that folder, but I don't know how..

You're welcome

Key-changing focus in JLists

Consider the following JList -
String[] testData = {"one", "two", "three", "four", "five"};
JList testList = new JList(testData);When testList has focus, pressing 't' will cause the selection to traverse between items beginning with 't'. This also happens when pressing 'f' or 'o', although the behaviour is somewhat inconsistent in all cases (e.g. it doesn't work all of the time).
How to disable this behaviour? The API documentation makes no mention of it, so I assume that it is specific to PLAFs (I use Metal by default). The only solution I have found to work thus far is to invoke the following after JList initialisation -
EventListener[] listeners = testList.getListeners(java.awt.event.KeyListener.class);
for(int j=0; j<listeners.length; j++) {
testList.removeKeyListener((java.awt.event.KeyListener) listeners[j]);
}However, this seems like an absurdly heavy weight solution to such a silly problem. Is there a getter/setter I've not seen? I've already tried tinkering with InputMaps and ActionMaps, but they don't seem to have an effect.
Cheers,
Damien.

I tried using the div tag and changing focus to an transparent screen so that it is seamless to the user.
That does not work too. When you change focus by burring and then focus on the transparent screen the cursor acts wierd and remain in wait state all the time.
Any idea what am I doing wrong here?

Searching access database then minimizing and reopening (or, more generally, changing the focus window then going back) causes the database field to become active

So I'm having this problem in Access 2010 & 2013 (I tested it in both) where if I search for something on the bottom of a table (next to where it says the record number), then pull down access and subsequently reopen it, if I were to start typing it
would start typing in the record that the search had found. This has caused me to have some errors in my database which have been proving troublesome and difficult to fix.
If you could tell me how I could resolve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it!
EDIT: I tested some other cases and am having the same issue. If I, instead of minimizing, change the focus away from Access to another program and then move my focus back to Access, the problem appears there as well. In fact, even if I change to another
window in the same instance of Access (say another table) then change back the focus, the problem still appears

Hi George,
Thanks for the response. I'm going to include some images and share a sample database with you. This is all being done in 2010 on Windows 7 currently, but is reproducible on 2013. I don't have access to Windows 8 to try it myself.
Step 1: Open up table by double clicking on it
Step 2: Search for something in the table
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=E84A21BD127C022!2874&authkey=!APzefrtzmpvylGw&v=3&ithint=photo%2c.png
Note that where I'm searching is different than where you're searching. I think that's why you couldn't reproduce it. Search for something (in what I'm sharing, something like alpha or 11 or ga or something)
Step 3: Minimize the Access and pull it back up (or change focus away and back in some way or another)
Step 4: Type into what should be the search box. Instead, it types into the field that the search found.
The database with the table I used can be found at https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=E84A21BD127C022!2873&authkey=!ABtDlZEyDzT8Jf8&ithint=file%2c.accdb
It is the only table in the database
Thanks again,

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Windows 7 and Multiple Monitor Issues

Alright, I have spent the past 3 days searching these forums as well as on Microsoft's support pages and all of Google to find the answer to my issue and it seems as though I'm the only one who is running into this problem.
I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro with the GeForce 9600M GT Nvidia Graphics card with the latest version of Mac OSX and Bootcamp installed on it. I have Windows 7 installed in bootcamp. I just purchased a Mini DisplayPort to VGA cord with a VGA cord so as to connect my computer to my Sony Bravia HDTV to use as a second monitor. I plug in the cords, plug them into my TV, and put it into the proper input and it works like a charm. Then I go and boot up in bootcamp under Windows 7, plug in the cord, and my screen gets to the "starting windows" logo and then it goes black. I push ever button, I try control alt delete, nothing. I have to hold down the power button to turn off the computer and then turn it back on.
I turn it on, boot up into Windows 7, let it load, then plug in the cord, and the computer display instantly goes black, again, and yet nothing displays on the TV. Again, I try everything to no avail, so I power it off and back on. I go through this at least 10 times to no avail. I finally give up and try again the next day.
Next day, I plug it in, and the monitor stays up, but yet nothing is displayed on the TV. I go to my resolution settings in Windows, and go to the multiple monitors tab, and select every possible option (extend, duplicate, etc) and nothing will display on my TV. I try to change the settings to which it responds with "unable to save display settings" and nothing changes. I attempt to enter the nvidia program and make changes that way. The TV is detected, but when I select it and attempt to apply anything, no changes take effect and I am left with only the laptop display. Keep in mind I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the video drivers and such.
Finally I get fed up so I purchase a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapted and a DVI to HDMI adapter. I try again. Again in OSX it launches immediately, no problems. I go back into Windows, and immediately I'm dealing with the instant black screen.
I'm going crazy over here trying to figure this out. I know it's possible to do this because I've seen people on youtube doing this and again it works on OSX so why the heck won't it work? If anyone has any idea what's going on here please help me out. Thanks.

JonMarx... I'm having the exact same problem. I'm in the exact same situation as you are. I'm going mad, and it's only by divine providence that I've finally located the only other person who knows what I've been going through. I've spent at least 20 hours trying to get this started back up, to no avail.
I had the secondary display working peachy for a while, long enough to configure everything to be exactly how I wanted it. I unplugged the monitor from the computer just to see what would happen, and that's when the problems started. I managed to get it to work one last time for a brief period a few hours later, but the way it just clicked on made it feel too good to be true.
I've had a wierd problem with a phantom display as well. The display will frequently show up as being available in both the nVIDIA panel and the windows settings, but if I apply the settings, they won't go through. I got a few screenshots of it the last time it happened.
I was just about to reinstall windows completely, but it seems that I'll just run into the same problem again if I do... Here's to hoping a solution is found.

Compatibility issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0?comcom

You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

OC4J Configuration issue Oracle 11g R2 Windows XP and Windows 7

Hallo!I have installed Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0 on both Windows XP and Windows 7 on 2 different machines.
Before installing on both OSs,I had installed Microsoft Loopback Adapter and had set hostname as JOEY-PC and IP address 192.168.0.X.Once the installations were complete and I restarted the machines,I could not start OEM and the error below appears
C:\Documents and Settings\JOEY>emctl start dbconsole
OC4J Configuration issue. C:\app\JOEY\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_JOEY-PC_orcl not found.
When I went to the C:\app\JOEY\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oc4j\j2ee directory,I found the folder OC4J_DBConsole_localhost_orcl instead of OC4J_DBConsole_JOEY-PC_orcl.
I assumed that by using Microsoft Loopback Adapter,I would avoid the error above and that the OC4J_DBConsole folder would permanently remain as OC4J_DBConsole_JOEY-PC_orcl instead of OC4J_DBConsole_localhost_orcl.
Why is this folder changing its name and how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Pl post the contents of the file C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on both servers
What steps did you take to set the hostname to JOEY-PC ?

I upgraded to windows 8 and didn't want to change to internet explorer 10... i needed to stay on IE8 for work purposes. what can I do about this? tried installing IE8 on windows 8 and it says IE8 is incompatible. Microsoft shouldn't
make decisions for the end user. I do computer repair for a living and need my computer to act a certain way but when upgrading to Windows 8, IE10 was automatically added.

We had issues like that at my work and we used Gmail. When we used IE 8 a message would pop up saying your browser is old upgrade to a more modern browser. SO we switched our standard from IE to chrome but I still have a couple of apps that require IE.

Order of steps to change IP segment address and it's resources - Windows 2008 R2

I have a 2 node cluster in windows 2008 R2 AD on an HP Proliant DL380 G6 server with an attached MSA2012sa DAS storage where the resources recite. Resources are mainly data, no apps.
I need to change the IP segment/address of the cluster & storage to a new DS3 circuit. I've tried to follow some of the discussion threads on this topic, but i'm confused.
Please advice the order I should do things:
1. in cluster manager, take resources offline, then change the cluster IP and the resources IP
    --is it possible to change ips when it's offline?
    --or should I shut down the cluster? is it possible to change when cluster is shut down?
    --where does the ip of cluster itself get changed? I rt clicked on the cluster object and there is no option to change it
       (in AD or in cluster manager).
2. in network properties of each physical node, change the public IP address
     --Should I change one at a time, reboot, then do the other?
     --Should changing node ip be done before changing cluster & resources ip?
     --anything needs to be done to the quorum disk?
Advice will be very much appreciated. I've read thru a bunch of threads on changing ip but I need to brake it down in order. Thank you.

Well, I gave it a try. Only this was on a 2012 R2 cluster, so I cannot vouch for 2008 R2. (But I have extreme faith in the cluster engineers that it most likely works the same there. Again, prove it in a lab.)
Here is what I did. I had a cluster with a single network and everything was configured on that network - let's call it old-NIC. I added another network by adding a new NIC to each node - let-s call it new-NIC. I configured that new-NIC
on a different subnet.
OLD CONFIGURATION: Cluster IP - 192.168.1.30; Cluster Access Point for clustered service 192.168.1.33; Node1 IP - 192.168.1.31; Node2 IP - 192.168.1.32
NEW, DESIRED CONFIGURATION: Cluster IP - 192.168.2.30; Cluster Access Point for clustered service 192.168.2.33; Node1 IP - 192.168.2.31; Node2 IP - 192.168.2.32
The old-NIC on node1 was configured with gateway and DNS registration. I removed the gateway and DNS registration from this NIC.
I configured new-NIC on node1 with gateway and DNS. I then issued an ipconfig /registerdns to get the new name for the node into DNS.
Repeat above steps for node2.
I went into Cluster Manager and configured both old-NIC and new-NIC to be available for both Cluster and Client access.
I selected the properties of the CAP for the service and changed the IP address to new-NIC cluster IP. When accepted, I executed another ipconfig /registerdns.
I then selected the cluster core resource IP and did the same thing - changed the IP to the new-NIC address. When accepted, I executed another ipconfig /registerdns.
Obviously during the change in the IP addresses on the cluster, services became unavailable while the services were stopped/started to reconfigure with the addresses. Once the change was made and the services back up and running, the services were
available via the new-NIC IP addresses.
There should be NO connections to the cluster during this change. After updating the IP addresses on the cluster, you might have to issue an ipconfig /flushdns from the clients so they are forced to re-query DNS to be able to find things under the
new IP addresses.
All tests were performed in lab VMs.

How do you increase font size in Bridge using windows 7 and a 4k monitor? It appears as though this issue has come up previously but there is no answer.

How do you increase font size in Bridge using windows 7 and a 4k monitor? It appears as though this issue has come up previously but there is no answer.

Unfortunately this will require some new programming by Adobe and there's no way to know when that will happen. In the meantime, the only option I think you have available to you is to change your resolution so that your monitor is using fewer pixels per inch.
Kinda blows the whole value of the newer monitor but I suppose you can switch back and forth from low res when you are working in Bridge to high res when you are working in PS.
Sorry, but for the time being, that's about it.
Best,
Gary

Windows 7 and blinking cursor issue...

(Just an FYI...I originally posted this in the MBP forum because I didn't realize there was a bootcamp forum)
I recently had my computer repaired through AppleCare. They replaced the logic board, top cover, a connector and battery. When I first got the computer back, I turned it on, booted to the Mac partition, everything was good. I then booted to Windows with the Bootcamp partition and everything was good. Even the stuff I had open before the damage were still up. I shut it down, boxed everything up and didn't touch it until I got home.
When I got home, I booted up Windows 7 and now all I get is it boots to a black screen with the cursor. I ran the repair utility, tried safe mode and it says no errors are found, however, it still won't load. I haven't figured out why it booted up the first time I got the computer back but now it won't do anything. I never got a chance to back everything up because my computer was damaged from liquid damage, but I can still see all the files on my Bootcamp partition through finder from the Mac side.
I don't know exactly why it's doing this or what to search to find an answer to the problem. When I first got my MBP, I installed Windows 7 through and upgrade disc from my job, so I don't know what my next steps should be.
Other steps:
Tried WinClone to copy the drive and it gave me an error message on the log.
Tried to run system repair several times and it came back with no errors. Same for memory diagnostic tool. Everytime I run the repairs, it finds no errors but still boots up to the black screen with cursor. Ugh, this is so frustrating.
Right now I have most of my files backed up on my external drive, but I still want to find a way to clone the drive and then it looks like my only choice is to do a clean install. How do I do that? Someone else set up the partition for me when I got my computer, so I don't know how to remove the version of Windows 7 to do a clean install or if I have to start messing with the partition. I only have an upgrade disk.
Any more thoughts? I thought about calling AppleCare but I doubt they'd help since it's Windows 7, but it was not doing this before the repair. I guess I'm lucky I still have access to the files.

Leeopard huh?
You need Snow Leopard w. 10.6.x to get 3.0.
If it works and no issues fine though probably the first time I have read someone did.
BC 2.2 was more about XP and some support for Vista.
