CS4: window does not regain focus

This happens using Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 7 RC.
(Untested on Windows XP, Vista.)
Does not appear to be an issue with Photoshop CS4.
If DW is in focus and you click on another program's taskbar icon twice it does not re-focus the DW window, which was previously in focus.
For example:
I have Dreamweaver open and in-focus (I can type)
then I click the Firefox icon in the taskbar (Superbar) to preview what I just uploaded (F5)
then I click the Firefox icon again (my cursor is still there) to minimize it and return to Dreamweaver
then I start typing.... but the Dreamweaver window is not in focus, even though it is visible and in front
This works in XP with Photoshop CS2.
This is not a Windows 7 problem because other programs don't have this problem.
This is just a minor annoyance, but can anyone else relate to this or is it just me?
Thanks!

I see this as a condition common to many applications by many companies...
First you get the program's attention. (by clicking on it somewhere)
Then you start typing in it.
Think of the mess we would be in if you could simply hover your cursor and start typing without clicking...you could wreak havoc without even knowing where your typing is going...wait, that might be a good idea... (not the havoc...)

CS5 - Error 22:Window does not have a constructor

I've been experimenting with some old sccripts on the Photoshop CS5 pre-release and they seem to work fine except any that have a user interface.Scripts that run fine on CS2, CS3 and CS4 throw a "Error 22:Window does not have a constructor" error message. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this and if they were aware of any changes as regards to scripting with CS5 and also how to correct the issue.
CJ

Dear All,
I have been bothered by this same Photoshop error 22 when trying to use the Photomerge feature or any other of the Automate features in CS5.
My computer is a Windows 7 32bit machine but this should definitely apply to Windows 64bit machines and possibly the same logic may apply to Mac but I do not know.
I didnt find a permanent solution but I did find a temporary fix which will at least allow you to use the function for one opening of the program however if you close and reopen photoshop the problem returns.
Temporary Fix Instructions:
1. Locate the file "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp" on your computer and delete it or move it elsewhere. (I assume by doing this you may lose *** of your photoshop preferences but it will allow you to use photomerge and HDR so you choose)
2. On Windows this file can be found in the User folder under C:\**USER NAME**\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings\ (Replace **USER NAME** with the Windows 7 account user name)
3. After deleting this file or temporarily moving it out of that folder you can then open Photoshop CS5 and use the Photomerge feature as much as you'd like.
4. As soon as you close Photoshop CS5 the program automatically makes a new Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp file so when you try to reopen the program it will not work again.
I hope this may be helpful to some people and I hope that Adobe can fix this issue, I have not and dont plan on submitting this as a bug report to Adobe, being that I do not personally own the program (still in 30 day trial) but anyone who would like to, please feel free to do so.

How to listen for key press when air app does not have focus

Hi,
I am developing a application in air and part of the functionality I need is the ability for the app to listen for when a specific key is pressed, even when the air app does not have focus.
Is there support for this for windows or mac? If not, how might this be accomplished? ANE?

Ok Mr. Smartass...Ok
I'm building a browser that is always open, and when
a user presses Ctrl+F1 (notice, just those two keys,
I don't care what else they press...) the browser
will open up. That way, you don't have to wait for it
to load all the time.You have two ideas here. One is having a universal key map that always gets ctrl-f1 sent to your app. The other is a program that is constantly running so that you don't have to wait for it to open up. The former is not possible (and this is a good thing) As warneria and I have been saying, it is bad design for an app to try to force an OS to implement this kind of feature.
If you're not going to help please don't post at all;
it's a waste of time for both you, me, and anyone
else who may need help on the same subject. Why wouldBelieve it or not, I am helping you.

IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

Download Window Does Not Close Upon Completion of Download

I download a file, the Download Window opens, and asks where I want the file (I set that Tool-Option), but when it is done, the window does not close, even though the Option is set telling it to close when the download is complete

Mail window does not close anymore

When I press the red dot or type CMD-W, the mail window does not close anymore. It just stays open, everything else works as usual. Any ideas, how to close the window again?
TIA

Look at the bottom frame of the Mail window; it may display a small dot thingie in the middle of its bar, something like this -
If so, try clicking on that dot and dragging upward.
If that works, you should have both panes present again. You can adjust the size of the window as a whole by dragging the bottom-right corner (where the hash marks are).

Mail Viewer Window Does Not Open on Launch. Mail Will Not Quit. MAIL BADGER

<UPDATE> After detailing all of the problems below, I discovered that trashing the Mail Badger bundle solved all of the below problems. I am still posting this just in case anybody else has this problem.
Problems:
1. When opening mail.app, the program opens, but it does not launch a Viewer Window. I can open a viewer window manually from the File menu, however.
2. When quitting mail.app, it will not quit. It does not matter whether I hit command-Q, or Mail>Quit Mail, or right-click on dock icon and click Quit. The only way for me to quit is Force Quit. No matter what Quit command I execute, nothing happens. The Viewer Window does not close. (The Viewer Window will close on command, however, either by clicking the red 'x' or by command-W, or by File>Close.
3. Cannot send mail from mail.app. Upon clicking "send" on a new email, it just goes to the Outbox and sits there forever. I can try sending the email again from the Outbox, but nothing happens. (I have 4 gmail accounts, with a couple thousand messages between them. There are no problems with port configurations or smtp servers or anything like that - I am fairly certain anyway because nothing has changed w/ regard to the account settings between the time it was working and the time it stopped working.)
4. After minimizing the Viewer Window, clicking on the mail.app dock icon does not restore the Viewer Window. The only way to restore the Viewer Window is to click on the Viewer window itself in the dock, rather than clicking on the application icon.
Notes: I have installed 10.4.10. I have also installed Safari Beta 3.0.2
I previously installed Safari Beta 3.0, then uninstalled it and upgraded to 3.0.2. I don't recall when the problems started, (under 3.0 or 3.0.2), but they all happened at the same time (rather than one at a time).
I have uninstalled Safari 3 and reverted to Safari 2, but this does not fix the problems.
I have repaired disk permissions.
I have booted from the OS X Install disk and repaired my startup disk.
I have not had any problems with Safari 3 "hanging" on install, thus corrupting the WebKit, as described in other threads.

I had the same issue and resolution. Spotlight search for "Mail Badger" and deleting everything resolves the issue.
I'm also running Safari 3.0.2 and 10.4.10...
I've emailed the developer to let him know about it..

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Windows does not recognize ipod whatsoever

This is so frustrating.
I just bought a new ipod video after giving up on my old ipod.
Windows does not recognize the new ipod at all, not even as an extra drive. I'm tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, restoring the ipod, connecting to different ports. No such luck. I've read up on the past posts concerning this problem with no luck.
Can anyone help me?

here's a bit here's what microsotft says:

2. Locate and then click the UpperFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:

3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
4. Locate and then click the LowerFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:

USB device (1 day old nano) has malfunctioned & windows does not recognize

Please can someone help a non-tech savy new ipod user. I have loaded the latest itunes, but not only does itunes not see my ipod, I get the following windows error when I plug it in. "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it". It says no drivers are loaded for this device. I have followed the 5Rs including the windows updates with no luck. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

You listed as having an IBM r40. If I'm not mistaken, that's a laptop. The usb ports on many laptops aren't USB 2.0 or are low power ones. This can cause problems with a nano being able to charge.
One thing to try is to get a wall adapter to charge the nano separately, then connect to your computer for syncing only. You can find adapters locally and through Apple Store. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=C39 415D1&nclm=iPodPower
You can also try buying a POWERED usb hub. Make sure it has it's own power source so that its ports have enough charge to support the nano.

Windows says "device is not functioning" and "Windows does not recognize"

I lost my USB dock connector cable for my ipod. I just went out today and bought a brand new "Cygnett GrooveLink Strech Retractable USB Cable for iPod". I was pumped when I came home to finally be able to add music to my ipod again, but alas when I plug the iPod in, Windows pops up saying that the device is not functional and that Windows does not recognize it. I tried everything from rebooting the iPod to re-downloading iTunes and iPod updater. After searching this site for the past few hours, I figured I'd try and possibly find some real answers here. Please Help!!

Hey everyone,
I had the same problems all of you are having. I
just got a 5th generation video ipod. For a few
days, my computer a) wouldn't recognize it; b) froze
up when I connected it; c) mistook it for a mass
storage device ("drive E"). I bought a USB 2.0
notebook card which didn't work either and actually
seemed to make the problem worse because when I
connected the iPod to it my computer froze up.
I was very confused because my new iPod worked on my
brother's computer--which is much older than mine but
still recognized the iPod and connected to it.
Then I noticed that my brother's computer is running
an older version of the ipod software. I used his
disk to install "Ipod Updater 2005-06-26" rather than
the new version of the software on the Apple Web
site. Then I plugged my iPod into a USB 1.1 port.
To my surprise, my computer finally recognized the
iPod and is now loading music onto it. I cannot
believe this worked. I wonder if the latest version
of the software is faulty in some way.
Try it! I hope it will work for you too. You will
need an older version of the iPod updater software,
so borrow it from a friend with an older ipod.
I am having this problem also...It will work fine on the 1.1 but when i plug it into the 2.0 it has trouble recognizing it...
