Entourage: new windows pop to top left of screen

Hi there,
I'm having a problem w/my Entourage. I'm not sure if this is a Mac Leopard issue or one directly related to Entourage and I need to contact MS or maybe something totally unrelated but maybe someone here knows and has the answer. I'm brand new to Apple/Mac as of about 2 weeks ago, never had one before.
When I open Entourage it opens in the center of my screen. When I open an email in Entourage or click to compose one, the window I'm going to read or compose in pops up to the very top left of my ~huge~ 24" screen and I have to move it down each and every time in order to read or type in it.
I personally find this to be very annoying and wondering if anyone knows how to make these windows pop up in the center of my screen like when the Entourage program itself opens up?
Thanks for any help.

Did a little searching on Microsoft's Newsgroup sites. One MS employee gave this answer on the very same question.
If you start a new message window, move it to where you want it to be, close it (saving as draft), then quit Entourage. It should force Entourage to remember the window position.
However, this does not work reliably. We have never been able to track down what prevents Entourage from remembering window positions properly (through several versions!)
What I did do just now on my wife's iMac with Entourage 2008 was simply open a new mail window, moved it to the position I wanted and closed it. Since I hadn't typed anything, it closed without asking me to save anything. But now the new mail window always opens right where I had it last! Even after shutting the program down and relaunching. I'll have to try that on the Mac Pro.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Would like new window to the top of frame

Hi,
I'm using this script to open a new window in the centre of
my screen and it works well. However I'd now like to adjust it a
little so that it opens the new window centrally, but at the top of
the screen, in other words as high up as possible with no space
above it.
Here's the script I'm using...
Thanks for any help you can give me : )

I find this very good.

On OSX Lion i used to drag the window to the top of the screen and get maximise, and drag the window right or left to show the both beside each other just like windows 7, How to do it on Mountain lion ?

On OSX Lion i used to drag the window to the top of the screen and get it maximise, and drag the window right or left to show the both beside each other just like windows 7, How to do it on Mountain lion ?

That has never been a feature of Mac OS X, but I believe there was some kind of third-party software that could add that capability. i don't recall what its name is, but you must have had that installed, and it either isn't installed anymore (perhaps removed as incompatible?) or is not working properly in Mountain Lion.

Hi
It all depends on your requirements, e.g. do you need to pass variables between the two .swf files for example, then this link may help:

and could depend on your infrastructure - are you using SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise?

Open New window (pop-up) in JSP

Is there a way to open a new window (pop-up) in JSP (not using Javascript:window.open()).
I basically have a JSP that checks user enter data. The If user enter incorrect data it will redirect to itself with a http session value (f-failed) to indicate the type of data error and display proper error message.
If user enter all correct data then it will display a new window (pop-up) in front of the previous window. All also passing values to the new window!
Whats the window.open() in JSP?
THanks

What about trying this scenario:
1. from your first jsp submit to a modal window
var returnVal = window.showModalDialog("yourServlet","",
"dialogHeight:600px;dialogWidth:800px;status:no;help:no");
2. The servlet sets an error code in the request object i.e. 0 good, -1 bad.
3. forward to a page (I call the page database_status.jsp) and get the error code. With javascipt do this:
<%
// get return code
String returnCode = (String)request.getAttribute("databaseStatus");
%>
window.returnValue = parseInt("<%= returnCode %>");
self.close();
4. read the return code
if(returnVal == 0)
alert('code is good');
or pop up your window.

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup.

With Safari open, press Command , (comma) to open Safari Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Turn that off, quit (or force quit) Safari then relaunch to test.

Having to press top left of screen to get headphones to play in stereo

When I plug in headphones I get music only from left side, but when I press top left of screen I then get stereo. When I release the pressure it goes back to mono.
Anyone know a fix.??
I've checkd the mono switch is off in settings.
ps: the top left side of the screen feels slightly raised.
Thanks.

Take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
There is obviously a hardware issue, likely from the device being dropped.

Top left of screen is black

top left of screen is blank
seems to be frozen
cannot see to restart
no power button of MacBook Air???

New icons always at top left of window

When I create a new file or folder its icon is always created at the top left corner of the enclosing Finder window, even if there's already something there. In previous versions the icon would be positioned in white space somewhere, which was much more useful for me. I don't want to keep my icons sorted or otherwise automatically arranged, I'd like this behaviour classed as a bug and fixed.
I've tried this on other machines and it seems to be the default behaviour.

Hi, ueli — and Rev. Andy and Pam, should you happen to revisit this thread —
b>(1) Apparently, you're not alone. Other have expressed problems with this issue — several posts in Will Mardis' "Icons of downloaded files overlap is an example. But I've never experienced it (I seldom use icon, or list, view), so I'll reply as if it were brand new...
b>(2) Font compatibility?Is there any chance that a font compatibility issue is involved? You can check this using /Applications/Font Book, looking for duplicate fonts demarked by a "•" beside them and using Edit »» Resolved Duplicates. File »» Validate Font may also be helpful. From within Font book, Help »» Font Book Help explains...
b>(3) View option settings?
I've just tried to replicate the behavior that I think is being described — and I can't.
I'll explain — just in case there's something helpful hidden subtly among my attempts that's helpful to you:
(a) I created a new folder named "Testing" inside ~/Documents/ with "list view" selected
(b) Since you've all mentioned icon behavior, I set its View »» View options as follows:
• Icon size: 48 x 48; text size: 12 pt.; Label position: bottom
• Show item info and Show icon preview are selected; Snap to grid and Keep arranged by: aren't.
(c) I created three very simple TextEdit documents named Testing 123, Testing 456, and Testing 789.
(d) I saved the first two directly into the "Testing" folder; the third I saved into ~/Documents/, then dragged it into "Testing."
(e) I checked the folder after each "save." After the first file — which was naturally placed in the top-left-hand corner of Testing's Finder window — the other icons were placed ("in white space") at appropriate distances to its right. None overlapped, "took over" the left-hand-side, etc.
(4) How are you doing this differently — if you are? Can you replicate what I've described — or help me to understand the problem definition more clearly?
I honestly don't understand why some folks would experience this consistently, others, intermittently, and yet others not at all — unless it's solvable. Perhaps Mac OS X Feedback or BugReporter (requires free ADC membership) would be appropriate.
HTH!
Warm regards,
Dean
