Facebook Login Window Position on screen

I am working on a kiosk application that must be ADA compliant. Since the screen is vertical and designed for a standing adult, to be ADA comliant, there must be a mode where the UI is all on the lower portion of the screen. This is simple except that I cannot get the Facebook Login window to display in the lower portion of the screen, it will only appear in the center in a new OS window. The LoginWindow class has two properties of width and height that can be set, but not the position of the window on the screen. Is there a way to set a position for where the Facebook Login window appears on screen?

That sounds like an OS level question rather than an AIR specific question. You may have better luck searching for support on your OS.

Login Window on Wrong Screen in Dual Monitor Setup

I have two monitors attached to my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10. When I boot up with the lid closed, I see the start up sequence (Apple logo and progress bar) shown on the monitor that is my "primary" monitor of the two monitors. But when boot up is complete and the login window appears, it shows on the secondary monitor, not the primary. My primary monitor is connected via Thunderbolt, and the secondary monitor is attached to the HDMI port on my MacBook Pro. Any ideas how to set the login screen to show up on the primary monitor?

I have exactly this same issue on a Late 2012 Hexacore Mac pro (The last real one LOL)
My primary screen (a 24inch VGA 1080p monitor) shows the Apple boot logo (with progress bar) whilst the secondary display (32inch HDMI 1080p LCD TV) is plain white
then when the initial login box appears that comes up on the 2nd display (Even if it is turned off) meaning I have normally have to turn that screen on, log in then turn it off again
I have also noticed that the screen layout is wrong. Once logged in the 32" display is logically located above the 24" one. However for the login dialog they default to side by side. meaning movingthe mouse up to the TV to log in means going left ot right... Not very good really.
Not enough to make me revert to Mavericks from Yosemite, but still quite annoying.

Elements 10 organizer window position on screen.

I am helping an elderly friend who uses Elements 10 on a MAC, his organizer window appears on screen with the top line/menu bar having File, Edit, find, View etc. off the screen at the top and I can't move it down to display properly. I am not very familiar with a MAC being a PC user myself, does anyone know why this has happened and how to fix it please?

I totally don't understand what you're saying, sorry. One major difference between PSE in windows vs the mac version, is that on a mac, for both the editor and the organizer, that top line is attached to the top of the mac's screen itself, not the program window. You can't do anything to the organizer window that would cover it.
See:
So are you sure he's not just looking in the wrong place? No matter where I put an application window, that top bar with the black apple is at the top of the display in every program.

Windows 7 explorer run prompt window position on screen varies

whether I use the mouse via start/run or <windows key>+R the small window that appears to await input from me for the run command line dpes not consistently appear in the lower left above the windows start globe (forgive inaccurate nomenclature).
Generally speaking, say 50% of the time, the machine; a dual xeon HP z820 with AMD Firepro graphics and 3 display port NEC monitors with the AMD/ATI current catalyst pro drivers and NEC spectraview 2 running, puts the run window immediately above
the start globe. but the other half or more of the time it could be dead center in the active monitor or at varied locations about the center of the active monitor (reported as #2 in the Microsoft ID monitors results). It's never been on a non
primary monitor and I've tried switching monitors. to change the active one, and I've tried switching between and deleting the profiles for eyefinity, which btw is rarely in use. It's generally just in the extended windows mode with 3 monitors.
Is there a way to correct, control, or otherwise manage the location of the run prompt window?
thanks in advance,
fw

I came here looking for a solution to a similiar issue where the "RUN" dialog kept popping up in the middle of my screen. This thread helped me find the answer even though the answer was not in this thread. I thought I post what actually fixed my issue.
AMD graphics have a feature in AMD Catalyst Control Center. Look for a setting called "Dialog Control \ Enable Dialog Repositioning" it is enabled by default and makes your dialogs go to the center of your primary screen. Disable it and
everything goes back to normal.

Hi,
I do have a anoying problem on my xserve. Basicly every 4-5 days i can't log to the login window because my screen is grey. All the serveur is working well, dns, file, sharing, etc, but i just can't connect.
The only solution that i find is to stop the server, restart in target, install combo update 10.7.2 and after is fine.
I also find a few intersting line inside the log, i let you read that:

Position of Login Window...

Greetings! I'm new here and excited to get aquianted with this site! Seems like a good source of knowledge!
Anyways, my first problem de'jour deals with the following....
We have dual monitors(top/bottom) for our system. The problem is that the solaris login window is split between the top and bottom screens. I would assume that I could change the position of the login window in the dtlogin file? However, for the life of me, I can't figure out the calls/parameters that need to be set and/or if it's even possible to do this in the dtlogin file or anywhere else for that matter?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!

I solved it by adding a third monitor :)
On a SPARC you could solve this by copying Xresources and sys.resources:
cp /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources /etc/dt/config/C/
cp /usr/dt/config/C/sys.resources /etc/dt/config/C
(the /etc/dt/config/C directory probably don't exists, so you would have to create it)
.. and set:
*xineramaDefaultFramebuffer: 0
One thing you can try if you feel experimental, is to use the gdm2-login method instead of cde-login, it seems to threat dual monitors differently (i'll have to try this myself):
svcadm disable cde-login (if you do this while using CDE/JDS, you will probably be thrown out to the console-login)
svcadm enable gdm2-login

I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy.

I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac. when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

Blank Screen with cursor after login Windows 7, Unable to start new tasks

My problem is similar to the well know Windows 7 Black Screen as referenced by Prevx, though different. When I boot my Windows 7 computer, the login screen appears as always. Following entering the password for default user,
the screen will give the impression of login, but the final result is a plain black screen with the cursor only. The black screen appears indefinitely and the Windows GUI never appears. The only available option from booting in normal mode with this is Ctrl-Alt-Del
(Task Manager). From analyzing another computer with Windows 7 Professional, my Task Manager is missing the following user processes: dwm.exe, explorer.exe, and taskhost.exe. Additionally, it is missing the following system processes (possibly irrelevant):
spoolsv.exe and wmiprvse.exe.
When I attempt to start a new process using Windows Task Manager, an error message will appear saying “Windows Task Manager has stopped working” and forces you to close Windows Task Manager. This includes starting
any process such as cmd or explorer.
I attempted to boot into safe mode.
The result was the same as above. Then I attempted booting into safe mode with command prompt. This showed some hope. Following authentification from the login screen, the command prompt appears with the same blank screen with a cursor behind it. Initially
I attempted to run msconfig.msc to run a clean startup. System Configuration Utilities opens briefly then displays the error same as above. “System Configuration Utility has stopped working” and again forces the program to close. Then I tried to
open regedit. This works with no error messages! So I have access to the registry, but have no idea what I should modify to get my computer running normally.
Things I have tried:
1)
Restoring to last know good configuration. (No result)
2)
Repairing Windows configuration. (No result)
3)
Scanning the drive 3 separate times for viruses with both Avast and Symantec. (No viruses detected)
4)
Repairing the REG_SZ value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell as proposed in
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprogeneral/thread/5b94b775-992e-4f48-b3ff-c89b3cf45e82
5)
Executing Prevx’s fix file as proposed in
http://www.prevx.com/blog/140/Black-Screen-woes-could-affect-millions-on-Windows--Vista-and-XP.html
Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks,
John

My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus." As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues?
I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

OS 10.4.5 failure to startup-login window/ black screen/ blue screen-frozen

Hi there,
To anybody that can help me, I thank you very much indeed in advance.
G4 Powerbook, 1.5gHz, 2gb Ram (1gb kingston ram added since purchase date), OS 10.4.5, security update 2006-002 (v1.1 (?) recently installed).
My current problem is that i cannot log into OS X. It boots as far as the login window, which is unresponsive, and then it then flicks to a black screen with 2 or 3 lines of white text and then flicks to a totally 'mac-blue' screen with the black arrow pointer still active.
A history of my problem;
1) Yes, unfortunately I tried to get front row to work on my machine (the hack with the front row enabler etc), and subsequently removed all traces of it after it screwed up a few things (menu bar missing, failure to restart). This tidy-up involved doing something with system library, bezel services...etc.
2) I recently installed the first version of security update 2006-002. i am not saying this is the cause, but sometime after I did this, things started going wrong again. another thing i did recently which i hadnt in the past was to have itunes appear at startup and a few days later i emptied my hard drive of all my music and had this linked to a lacie 250gb via firewire 800. The problem at this was that login/startup was incredibly slow and sometimes the finder would keep relaunching itself on its own once the operating system was up and running. Also, when i tried safe boot, the login window would appear and then it would flick to a black screen. it would let me type in a username, but it would not let me input anything for the password.(I did use disk utility to repair permissions when i did manage to logon).
This whole problem seemed to go away for a day or two, but the login was still slower than usual the past few days.
I then turned on my powerbook this morning and login was extremely long and never completed fully- lots of pinwheel spins, menu bar not loading, itunes not appearing.
After a few forced shutdowns I left the computer for maybe 5-10 mins and it seemed to sort itself out after a few finder relaunches etc, and so i tried a few things;
3) I tried installing the newer version of the security update 2006-002 version 1.1 i think? At the same time i took itunes off the startup launches and also switched off auto login for my account (a silly idea it seems).
Since restarting from the security update, the operating system gets to the login window, which is unresponsive, and then it then flicks to a black screen with 2 or 3 lines of white text and then flicks to a totally 'mac-blue' screen with the black arrow pointer still active.(this is with the power adaptor connected only, no other cables etc)
I have tried Resetting PRAM, and using fsck, although I am slightly unsure as to whether or not this is useful to me anyway. I cannot reinstall the operating system until next week as my mum has my copy of tiger at home a few hundred miles away!
Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, especially on the eve of my two year anniversary with my powerbook!
Kind regards,
Henry Harker

Hi Henry
I've just encountered this problem with one of our computers at work. Hopefully this will help.
It's a Login Window Prefs problem. It's probably corrupted so you need to remove the prefs file.
1. Startup in safe mode (hold down shift). You should get a login window for the master admin account.
2. Delete the file: userName>Library>Preferences>com.apple.loginwindow.plist
3. Restart.
Let me know how you go.
Cheers

On-Screen Keyboard at the Login Window

Good morning,
We're looking at deploying a number of Mac Mini machines linked up to touchscreens for "Kiosks" where users have access to a web browser for email, but not much else.
Once logged in, the On-Screen Keyboard works very well, and we can make sure it's running all the time, however we can't get it to run over the Login Window, so the machine still requires a Keyboard and Mouse.
Does anyone know how we can get this application to run over the Login Window? I've tried getting launchd to spawn it but for some reason it gives the error that the application can't be found:
11/06/2010 09:47:24 com.apple.launchd[1] (On-Screen Keyboard[815]) posix_spawn("/System/Library/Input\ Methods/KeyboardViewer.app", ...): No such file or directory
11/06/2010 09:47:24 com.apple.launchd[1] (On-Screen Keyboard[815]) Exited with exit code: 1
wierd..
Anyway, the application has a CodeSignature section, so I can't see the loginwindow disliking it. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

It's possible but the on-screen keyboard should support some pre-login limitations. Mac OS X 10.5 introduced the ability to run a launchd agent while the login screen is showing. Pre-login launchd agents are privileged programs; you must be carefully to maintain system security. For example, Typical On-Screen Keyboard for Mac OS X ( http://www.typicsoft.com/en/Products/On-Screen-Keyboard.html ) and Typical Virtual Keyboard for Mac OS X ( http://www.typicsoft.com/en/Products/Virtual-Keyboard.html ) both support the login screen. They are for Intel only. You can download it from http://www.typicsoft.com

After login I get a blue screen and then back to login window, but only for one account

When one of the users on the iMac tries to login it goes to a blue screen and back to the login window. This only happens with one of the users - I've tried doing a safe boot, running disk utility, and using Time Machine to restore the user's libray back to pre-problem timetable. When I run repair permissions I do gt a SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" and "usr/sbin/pppd" have been modified. Any ideas?

Try this...
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20013630-263.html
If that doesn't help I'd make a new user & use an admin account to move the old folders over & change rights to the new user.

Remembering windows positions when switching from/to dual screen display

Hello,
Most of the time, a second LCD screen is plugged in my Macbook and configured as the main display. When I arrange the windows, I keep iTunes or my mail application maximized on the macbook screen and use the bigger external screen for all other windows.
If I unplug the external display, all the windows are of course moved to the laptop display. When I plug again the external screen, all the windows are moved to the external display. But I would like the iTunes and mail application to remain on the laptop screen.
Is there any utility to remember the windows positions and arrange them automatically when I switch from/to single/dual-screen display?
Regards,
Raph

Would DisplayWatcher do what you want? I came across this a couple of weeks ago but haven't had the chance to try it out yet.

Server Intermittently refuses to display local login window - screen saver

Occasionally the local login window refuses to appear after the screen saver has been activated on my 10.5.8 Server, resulting in my inability to access the interface at all afterwards. Other symptoms of the problem are that remote logins (ssh) are also no longer possible because passwords aren't accepted for any user. The password prompt is simply displayed repeatedly in the remote user's terminal until the tries are used up, and this happens whether or not the password was entered correctly. In other words remote login is no longer possible because no password is accepted. Because of this, the computer must be forcibly restarted to achieve recovery, which has to be done locally, of course, by either holding in the power button or disconnecting power to the computer. The log entries that seem to coincide with the occurrence of the problem appear to refer to a screen saver crash. The next workaround solution I intend to try is to prevent screen saver activation altogether. What are possible causes for this? Thanks.

Removing the following two files and reinstalling the latest server combo update were recommended by the article to which you referred.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect.plist
I performed those steps and am still observing in order to establish whether or not they have provided a complete remedy. I haven't observed any occurrences of the problem since performing these steps, but the problem is quite intermittent, and the server remains configured to restart once every 24 hours. My next step is to remove the scheduled restart configuration so that the server runs continually. If the problem hasn't returned at all after a few weeks of continuous operation, then I'll consider the question answered. Thanks!
