Clicking on Dock icon only brings most-recently-used window to front

In Leopard, clicking on the iChat Dock icon would bring all iChat windows (contact lists, chats, etc.) in front of other open applications, and give focus to the most recently used iChat window.
After installing Snow Leopard, clicking on the iChat Dock icon only brings the most recently used iChat window to the front and gives it focus -- other iChat windows remain behind other application windows (if that is where they were before).
Is this just me? My friend tells me that it still behaves like it did in Leopard on his computer. Any ideas?

In the First Post your Specs said Snow Leopard, now they say Tiger
Sorry, I didn't realize it wouldn't remember that setting for me -- I am running Snow Leopard.
With Chax in Leopard/iChat 4 an extra item was added to the Window menu of iChat that says "Always On top"
No, this is not what I was looking for. I have another machine with Leopard, and it does not have Chax -- iChat windows are not always in front, but they all come to the front when clicking on the Dock icon.
I don't use it on the Buddy List as you can set it on Any iChat window.
What do you mean, "you can set it on Any iChat window"? You mean the Chax setting, or something else?
Are any Minimised to the DOCK ?
No, none are minimized to the Dock.
Chax does not work in iChat 5 and may be the cause of the issue.
There is a beta version of Chax for iChat 5.
I would delete Chax and then the com.apple.ichat.plist to remove any thing in it that refers to Chax and then relaunch iChat.
I deleted Chax and every Chax and iChat plist, then restarted my computer. The problem did not go away -- still, only one window comes to the front when I click on the iChat Dock icon -- the others stay behind other windows.

To change info in library file then info, only the most recent cd's allow me to change info, all others 14,000, do not, any ideas???

Understand to change cd info in library File then info, as of recent only the most recent music added to my library enabled to make changes, all others (14,000) do not highlight change categories, that is gray not black. Any suggestions.

I suspect a permissions problem. This can happen when a library is moved between systems or the system is upgraded to a new version of Windows.
Right-click on your main iTunes folder (or ithe Tunes Media folder if that is elsewhere) and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

How do I find and backup only my most recent downloads?

Does anyone have a better solution than mine for finding and backing-up only my most recent downloads? I'm trying to make my network backups and external hard drive backups faster, by only backing-up my incremental downloads, rather than all my music every time. I created an iTunes Music sub-folder called My Music:\2005, into which I download all new purchased music. I still add the entire My Music folder to my iTunes library, so I can play all of the files, but new downloads and CD's rip into the 2005 sub-folder. I can find my most recent files, and only back those up, as I know the other files in My Music have already been backed-up. Let me know if you have a simpler solution. Thanks.

Thanks, Lawrence. Someone at work looked at my iTunes Preferences, I think it was, and verified that a backup had been done at 10:54AM today. (Personally, I've never looked to find a date/time stamp for this -- just took it for granted that it happened as expected!)
Since I know now that the backup was done right before the phone froze on me, I 'risked' doing a Restore, which is taking most of half an hour. I'm pretty confident I will be up and running in a few minutes. If not, I'll be looking for a cocktail or two in a bit!
PS: I did copy all my Photostream photos into a separate folder on iPhoto .... just in case they got wiped in the Restore.

I am running XP SP2 fully patched. I recently upgraded to 3.6.3 and since then, clicking on an icon that normally would open another windows (for example, a printer-friendly version of the current web page), nothing happens. In these situations, I have been forced to go to IE or Crome in order to accomplish what I need to do. Very frustrating. Also clicking in the slider area has no effect. "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys work. Holding down left mouse button on slider works. Also very frustrating. Can someone help
== This happened ==
A few times a week

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

For Multi value attributes, how we can view only the most recent value?

Where we can set what in endeca servers (MDEX, Clover & Studio) to view only the most recent value of a multi assign value attribute on Studio server?

That's correct, multi-value attributes do not support this in Endeca.
If you're looking to do it, I would keep writing your updates to the multi-value attribute (to maintain the functionality that depends on this attribute and its multiple values) and also write it to a separate single-value that is constantly being updated, rather than appended to.
Something like:
One attribute called MyValueMulti as a multi-assign.
AND
One attribute called MyValueLatest as a single-assign.

Clicking the Stamp tool doesn't select the most recently used stamp - Acrobat X

My issue is pretty much what the title says. Clicking the Stamp tool doesn't select the most recently used stamp. According to the Help screens and training videos, it should. I've checked Edit > Prefernces and could not find a setting that adjusted this behavior of the Stamp tool. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this? BTW - It's not just my installation of Acrobat X. Other users at my firm are having the same issue. The OS is Windows 7. Users have administrator rights. Thanks in advance.

Hello Abhilasha,
So, what your saying is that this function, the ability to select the most recently used stamp by clicking the stamp tool, has been removed, in spite of the fact that Acrobat's Help pages says it can be done (Using Acrobat X Standard > Collaboration > Commenting > Apply a Stamp > Step 1 > Second bullet). I wish they would put it back. It was quite handy.
Perhaps I should adjust my request. Do you (or anyone else) know of a way to use the same stamp several times in a row without having to choose the stamp from the stamps list? For example, if you needed to put a check-mark stamp in several places in a document, it would be a pain to have to go back to the list each time. Is there perhaps an undocumented feature (maybe holding down a particular key while using the stamp) that would allow for multiple stamping?
Thank you,
Phillip

How do I edit the Screen Sharing 'Most Recently Used' files list ?

I have recently added a mac mini to the network at home, and will be using this as a headless device. I am connecting remotely (using screen sharing) which works well. I have set the Sceeen Sharing icon to remain permanently visible on the dock, ad by right clicking, I get a list of the most recently used shares.
The trouble is, that some of theses shares no longer exist, and tghere is also some duplication.
I would like to edit this list, but cannot find out how to do it.
Can anyone help please ?
Thanks
Geoff
PS - The same principle applies to a number of other programs that retaim n MRU lst on their dock icon - how can these be edited.

This doesn't apply to me anymore.

Most recently used apps?

On the iPad (I don't know about the iPod Touch or iPhone), when you double click on the Home button you get a list of the "most recently used apps".
When an app appears in this list, how much memory is it taking up if it is not the current app?
Is it in the list to speed resumption of the app when you want it?
Is certain program data holding the last state, or is it simply a list for my convenience?
I have pressed & held until the icon "jiggles" and then pressed the '-' to remove it from the list.
When returning to the app, it is in the same condition I left it.

I found that link right after I posted. The few sentences I quote still leave me assuming a few things.
Quote from link:
When a user leaves an app, it’s put into the suspended state instead of closing it. The apps are held in memory and their process kept alive, but are given no CPU time. You can think of them as cryogenically frozen, they still exist and are alive, but can’t do anything until defrosted....
The answers I assume:
1) If they're in the list, they're being held in memory, but IOS will purge the oldest if needed.
2) If an app is in memory then load time is 0.
3) --mute--
4) If the app retains its status of course it will come back where I left it; only a little bit sooner if it was in the list.
I think I've got it. Thanks.

Will Not Open To Most Recently Used Folder

I figured out how to save in the same file, but PS still opens some default folder beginning with "THIS PC", instead of the most recently used folder. It should open to the most recently used folder. How do I set that?

none than I know of.
Of course, you could always make an Apple Script as an app (that you could place next to the finder icon on the dock for ex) that would do it, but that would require programming skills.

Opening external links in the most recently used page

I'm having an issue where external links from Mail or elsewhere are always opening up in the oldest page, IE, the page that was opened first, rather than the most recently used page.
Normally, this isn't that big of a deal, except when the oldest page is minimized, and every time I open a new link, Safari open up that minimized page to load in a new tab.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks!

You can't COMPLETELY remove it, but you can reduce it to one (1) item. Under Preferences>Documents
1 is the minimum and 10 is the maximum. Hard coded, no way to expand or reduce these limits.
The ONLY other option is to disable the "welcome screen" altogether under Preferences>General

I upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?

I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

Command Tilde round robins between windows of an application but does not work in Most Recently Used mode

Hi All,
Suppose I have 5 excel sheets open and I want to toggle between 2 excel sheets on which i'm working on currently. How do it do it in Mac ? Cmd-~ round robins between all the open excels. Alt-Tab in windows work on the Most Recently Used concept. Is there a way to achieve this in Mac ?
Regards,
Avinash

Not a reply to this specific question, just a quasi-relevant comment that might help some folks.
In Leopard, and with (for example) English and Russian chosen in System Prefs under "Language" and the keyboard shortcut set to command+space, I would always see the flag change in the menu bar as soon as command+space were chosen. Now, under Snow Leopard, hitting command+space seems not to make the change. But it does make the change, you just need to take your fingers off the keys first, then the flag will change.

Organizer: Most Recently Used Tags?

I'm running PSE8.
Is there a facility in the Organizer that keeps the most recently
used tags available in a handy to reach location?
For example, I'm tagging some photos and one of the tags I'm using
a lot is near the top of my list, the other near the bottom.
Is there a place that Organizer would show me the last nn tags
that I've used?
Thanks!

Most recently used documents

How do I delete the MRU files within StarOffice 6.0? Is there a way to configure the program so that a file's location and file is not displayed under the "Files" menu?

Hi
The history of loaded URLs (ie the most recently used documents) are saved in the file "Common.xml". This file can be found in the directory:
" \StarOffice6.0\user\config\registry\instance\org\openoffice\ Office\ "
To delete these entries, load the file in a text editor and find the "<History>" entry. Delete all lines in the file up to the entry "</History>" (i.e., all entries between "<History>" and "</History>").
This will also delete all entries in the URL history as well as all entries in the picklist (the list of the most recently used files found in the File menu).
Important:
This procedure involves manual intervention to the configuration of StarOffice. It can occur that if the wrong entries are deleted, StarOffice will no longer be able to function correctly. Please remember that all manual intervention to the configuration files is the sole responsibility of the user. In this particular case, any mishaps that may result to the program cannot be supported or guaranteed.
If the above does not work, please let us know. Thanks!
