Finder Window "Inactive" when clicked on and vice versa

For some reason, windows I click on in the Finder will become inactive and won't become active unless I click off of them on the desktop. The behavior continues until I restart the finder. I was wondering if this was maybe an issue specific to Intel Macs since it's happening to me on my new Intel Mac mini.
I should also note that this behavior is completely random as far as I can tell. Usually just closing all the open windows and opening a new one will fix it, but it usually comes back shortly after. Restarting the Finder seems to be the best way to get rid of it.
Has anyone seen this and/or know a way to fix it?

lains_navi,
If this behavior started after the 10.4.6 Update, I would recommend that you download and reinstall the Mac OS X 10.4.6 for Intel.

My iMac does not see the windows machines on the network (and vice versa)

I'm runningOS X 10.8.2 on my iMac which attachs to the office network using Wi-Fi.
It's on the right network (it's not attaching to the Wi-Fi router in the bulding next door) - I've checked the SSID and it's also being issued the right IP address by the router.
I can ping the Windows machines and they can ping my iMac. The issue is that I simply CANNOT share files back and forth.
At seemingly randoms times, I can, and I have File Sharing enabled in Sharing (remember, and RANDOM times I CAN see the Windows machines and they can see the iMac...BUT, it's random).
Thoughts?

zahidfh, Welcome to the discussion area!
More than likely your area has very significant RF interference in channels 1-6. The interference is making those channels unusable by you.

Also, is this a forum where Apple technicians reply to queries??
Take a moment to read the "Help & Terms of Use" for this area and you will discover that this area is a user-to-user discussion area. There is no guarantee that anyone from Apple will ever read any of these threads.
I was unable to find any area where I could post a direct help request regarding this!
That is because one does not exist. If you want to communicate with Apple about a problem or issue you must call them.

Finding Returns booked by a customer and vice versa

Hi All,
We have the following requirement:
Once an RMA order created from iStore is cancelled from the Order Management, the customer who created the RMA order must receive an email saying that the order is Cancelled/Rejected.
Could you please advise on how i can achieve this? I was planning to use the alerts, but was stuck on the point of how to get the email id of the customer from order management tables.
Please assist.
Regards,
Naveen B

Hi Naveen,
iStore allows for functionality for RMA approvals/rejections and notification is then sent to the iStore user -
Oracle iStore Implementation and Administration Guide
Step 4 - Set up Returns with Approval
Optionally, merchants can set up returns to use an approval mechanism before they are submitted to Oracle Order Management, if they are using at least Release 11.5.10 of Oracle Order Management (see the section, "Returns Functionality With and Without OM Release 11.5.10").
The approvals use standard Oracle Workflow processes and related e-mail notifications owned by Oracle iStore. The e-mail notifications are: Return Order Approval and Return Order Rejection. See the chapter, Integrating Oracle iStore with Oracle Workflow, for details.
By setting up returns with approval, administrators can approve or reject return orders before they are processed in Oracle Order Management. In addition, merchants can specify a hierarchy of approvers.
To set up returns with approval:
Approver List Setup --- Set up a new Approver List with following attributes:
List Name/Description – iStore RMA Approvers/iStore RMA Approvers
Transaction Type -- iStore RMA
Transaction Phase – Fulfillment
Select one role or responsibility that will be responsible for approvals.
Note that this LOV will display all applicable Oracle Workflow roles or Oracle Applications (FND) responsibilities. Selecting a Workflow role will enable all the people attached to that role to get the e-mail. Similarly, the same behavior will occur with an FND responsibility.
Regards,
Debbie

My computer had to be shut down this morning when I could move my mouse around but it would not respond when I double clicked on an item to select. Now I cannot open a file in my finder window by double clicking on it. Any suggestions?

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

Open or Save to harddiskoption pop up window needed when clicked on pdf lin

Subject : Open or Save to harddisk option pop up window needed when clicked on pdf link
I have a web application. There will be some pdf links in the application. When clicked on these links I read the content from database and output as bytestream. But when end user clicks these files the pdf will open in the browser or in Adobe based on his Adobe setting
Note : Experimentation done on Adobe Acrobat reader 5
Setting 1> Edit - Preferences - Options - Check on the 'Display PDF in browser' option
pdf opens up in the browser itself without asking any option
Setting 1> Edit - Preferences - Options - Check off the 'Display PDF in browser' option
on click it opens a windows pop up window asking me either to 'Open' or 'Save' . If I say Open it opens in Adobe.
Can this setting be controlled by my application itself [from Java servlets]? I want the opp up to be asked for every end user who clicks on the pdfs irrespective of what settings he has in Adobe Acrobat

I am not sure whether this will work. But it's possible to download the pdf file. Try the following
response.setContentType("application/download");
String filename = <<filename>>
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"" + filename + "\"");
Read the file into a bufferedOutputStream and then
int bytesA = bis.available();
response.setContentLength(bytesA);
write the content to ServletOutputStream..

I just got 2 new iphone 4 (verizon) i have a issue, i have 2 itunes account 2 phone seperate names and emails. but when i update or sync my phone it copys my wife stuff on to my phone and vice versa.

hello
i need some help.
well you see up above where i have 2 iphone 2 different names for the phones and 2 different accounts with 1 itunes on widows 7.
my problem is when i update or sync my phone it grabs all her info and apps ect. and vice versa when she does it to. is there any way that i can stop this from happing again?
1 more thing this happens just on her phone when she goes to download a app for some reason my email is on her phone, we have to sign out from her phone and sign back in and put her email in any thoughts on this?

By far the simplest way to do this is create separate accounts on the computer for each person. That way, you each log into your own separate account, sync your own device(s) to your own contacts/calendars/apps/music and so forth.

My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!

I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

The Home button on my iPod Touch is very unresponsive. It takes several tries to activate it. While doing so, it responds to one click versus the intended two clicks and vice versa.

This is iMessages, not an SMS/MMS, and this means the same Apple ID is registered for iMessage on each iPhone.
You or your daughter need to activate your own Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. The same Apple ID can continue to be shared for iTunes store downloads - for music and apps.
On the iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Select the Apple ID at the top and sign out. Sign in with the new Apple ID.
Make sure the same email address is not available below You can be reached by iMessage at on each iPhone.

Many of my recently uploaded photos are horizontal when they should be vertical, and vice versa. I've corrected all these on my laptop but in my iPad and i Phone photo streams they are still mixed. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Add the corrected ones to your PS - PS contains only what was added to it - changes made are not applied to the PS - you have to re add the updated photos

If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups. See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.

That could be an indication your drive is failing. If you do not have a current Backup, that is top priority.

The ability to do that would depend on the type of email account that you have. If it is a POP account, it cannot be done. If it is an IMAP account, it should sync across devices automatically. If you are not sure what type of account it is, who is your email provider?
