Finder window not appearing when selected from the Dock

Hi
My Finder exhibits the following behavior:
Right Click Finder in Dock
Finder displays list of currently open windows, etc.
I select one of the windows
Nothing happens
Note: If a select "New Finder Window" a new window is opened. This has become my work process which is not optimal and very frustrating.
Previously I could select "show all windows" and then navigate to one my existing windows. Now, this command does not show any windows either, which then prompted this post.
Doing the above process whilst e.g. Safari has focus; it would seem that something is happening because the menu bar does show "Finder" after selection is made (so the focus changes), just does not show it.
It is almost as if the Finder window is shown but on some coordinate outside of the screen coordinates (or on some phantom 2nd screen)
This happens all the time. If I reboot it might work for while, but after an unknown time and level of usage this behavior returns (always).
I am running Yosemite with everything up to date.
This is very frustrating and natively affects my every workflow on OS X.
Any help will be most appreciated.

Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Add-ons window does not appear when selected from Tools/Addons unless new tab opened first

Addons window does not open when Tools/Addons selected, unless New Tab (blank) selected first. Is there a fix, or is this a bug
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== upgraded to 3.0

This is an issue with one of your add-ons, Mr Tech Toolkit, it is a known problem but I know of no fix, though there are some workarounds.
In the Mr Tech Toolkit options, on the "Manager Hacks > Behaviour" section, you will have "Select Window Target" set to "New Tab". A workaround is to change it to "New Window"
Another workaround is to use a bookmark to open the add-ons manager in a tab. Create a bookmark with the following location:
chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul

How do I know if private browsing is working? The purple mask does not appear when I click the mask icon. In my privacy settings "Never Remember" is selected.

I'm trying to confirm private browsing is working. Right now I have no way of knowing if it is on or not. The purple mask ,referred to in help, does not appear when selected. I should say in my privacy settings, I have selected "Never Remember" for history.

Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

I made a purchase in an app. The app closed and I assumed that the purchase did not go through because it did not appear when I reopened the app, so I "re-purchased it". I was charged twice, but only received it once. What can I do?

The Fan option does not appear for folders in the dock.

The fan option does not appear on folders on the Dock. Stack option is checked, but all I get is grid list and automatic....running 10.5.2
any ideas?

Not that I know of. When on the side no fan for folders and no 3D look, which I prefer. Background of the Dock very dark so the white dot showing an app is open is easy to see and it all looks very sophisticated.
You might check with third party apps to see if anyone is changing that, but most people don't like the fan so I doubt if anyone is working to add it in.

Why my Startup Manager does not appear when I hold the Option key when starting to boot.

I no longer have the Startup Manager appearing when I hold the Option key when starting to boot.
Instead, the system just boots into whichever OS was last selected in the Startup Disk Preference.
How to get back my Startup Manager so that I can boot up from my external hard disk.
Thank you.

Can you please run the following in terminal and post the output in your reply:
diskutil list; echo; nvram -p | grep boot-args; echo

Subtemplate footer is not coming when calling from the main template

Hi All,
The footer from the subtemplate is not coming in the output when calling from the main template. Does anybody worked on the subtemplate?
If the same footer is put in the main template, it is displaying.
Please respond as this is a critical issue for us.
Thanks,
Ambadas

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your reply. Here is syntax which I got from the Oracle BI Publisher blog. And this is to just test locally.
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/04/11?import:file:///C:/temp/HeaderFooter.rtf
<?import:file:///d:/test/GEPOPRINT_GER_GER.rtf?>
<?import:file:///d:/test/GEPOPRINT_US.rtf?>
<?for-each@section:G_HEADERS?>
<?if:POH_REPORT_NAME='GER PO w/GERMAN Data'?>
<?call-template:PO_GERMAN?>
<?end if?>
<?if:POH_REPORT_NAME='US Purchase Order'?>
<?call-template:PO_US?>
<?end if?>
<?End for-each?>
And I don't have any footers in the main template but in the subtemplate I have the respective footers. If you want, I can send all the RTF's to you directly.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Ambadas

When I debug, the app runs as normal and doesn't crash when I tap the elipses hence nothing happens.
Does your tapped handler get called?
It looks like your buttons stack panel may be on top of your ellipses. Try reversing that so the ellipses are on top:
<StackPanel Name="ButtonsStackPanel" Grid.Row="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
<AppBarButton Label="tfg" Icon="Add"/>
<AppBarButton Label="tfg" Icon="Add"/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="DotsTextBlock" Text="" FontSize="14" FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Tapped="DotsTextBlock_OnTapped">
</TextBlock>
You can also use the Segoe UI Symbol "More" character to match the standard more ellipses rather than trying to implement your own. A step further would be to make it a button so that it has proper clickable semantics and will work properly with the
keyboard, although for this specific use you can get away without it since you'll provide standard Windows+Z AppBar behaviour.

With Firefox 35.0 maximized, my windows taskbar does not appear when I move the curser ot the bottom of the screen

With all other applications running maximized (full screen) the Windows taskbar pops up from the bottom when the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen, but now with Firefox. Why not, and how do I fix this?

Are you in fullscreen or maximized for Firefox?
There is an entry that show toolbars when in fullscreen you can check if its on in the about:config page, but if you have never been there before do not worry about this troubleshooting step. (I do not know if you have or not :-))
With those hypothesis it is possible to see if this happens in Safe Mode if you have any add ons or extensions that may affect this feature: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

Parition issue when selecting from the main table

I have a partitioned table where i jsut did a partition
exchange with another temp table.
when I query the partition it looks good, i.e. the data is there, but when I query the data directly
on the table no rows are returned.
for example
select count(*)
from sales partition (2007)
12455
select count(*)
from sales
where year = 2007
0 rows
I've reviewed the parition 2007 and esnured the 'where year = ' clause is accurate via previous years.
why am i not seeing this data in the second query?
db = 10G R2
thanks

create table SALES

PARTITION p_200702_5 values less than (2008,200703,6) TABLESPACE SALES_2007_DATA,
as select * from table...
note: year,fscl_period,channel are all NUMBER datatype.
Fiscal period is month bascially
I am wondering if doing this all this in a range partition, and not a range/list which channel may be better qualified for data wise, is the issue. Or perhaps range by year, sub by month, then list by channel. What will the impact be either way?
Interestingly, the data will come back on a star query i.e. when the SALES table is joined to the calendar_dim (via a day_id field) and use the 2007 predicate from the calendar_dim rather than the one on SALES (the one used for the part. definition).
Also, i did the partition exchange originally with the novalidation option. We tried again without that and the exchange failed saying some data doesn't qualify. But reviewing the data it appears it all should.
We then just did a giant insert statement and it all went through, but i have not had teh chance to validate what partitions the data live in now.
thanks for any help.

Detail region does not refresh when selecting from a drop-down list in master region

I am using DW CS3 and have updated to version 1.6.1 of Spry. Using an XML dataset, I am able to create a Spry table as the master region that links to a detail region that displays a small JPG graphic. It works fine in this format (clicking on a row displays the correct graphic). However, my table has 80 rows and requires the user to do too much scrolling. So I changed the master region to a drop-down repeat list, but the graphic does not change when a new selection is made in the drop down list. Listed below is the code produced when I used the insert Spry Repeat List. I got the same results when adding a spry:setrow="dsChartNurse". I also tried -- onclick="dsChartNurse.setCurrentRow('{ds_RowID}');" -- which again made no difference.
When I removed children from the spry:repeat, the master region displayed as a two column list of all 80 items in a drop-down list format.
<div spry:region="dsChartNurse">
       <select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="dsChartNurse">
         <option value="{name}">{name}</option>
       </select>
</div>
<div id="image" spry:detailregion="dsChartNurse">
   <img src="{dataimage}" align="center" style="margin:50px 0 0 0"width="320" height="164" />
</div>
Thanks so much to anyone who can help correct my code in order to have a drop-down list display information correctly in the detail region.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did solve the problem I was having by changing from onclick to onchange in the master region. But, now I have another problem with, of course, IE. I just put in online at http://www.minursemap.org/ageDistNurse.html. When opened in IE, the drop down list displays the last entry, but the image is for the first in the list. Thanks again for your help.

ITunes or iPhoto do not appear when I click the music or photo icons

I wish to add music & photos to my production in iMovie. But when I click the music or photo icons, iTunes and iPhotoe do not appear in the boxes that open. I can have them open in another window and drag them in, but this is not what is supposed to happen, what can I do ?

Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

Log-In Screen Does Not Appear When Resuming From Standby/Sleep

We are running T400s with XP SP3. From time to time when the computer comes out of standby the login screen will not appear. You just get the background image and your mouse. The mouse will move across the screen. However there is no screen saying press Ctrl+Alt+Del or swipe a finger to login. Also swiping a finger, or pressing ctr+alt+del, typing in your password and hitting Enter does not work either. It seems to be a random but frequent occurence. The couple of T400s with Vista installed do not have this problem. Any ideas?

After doing some troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the FingerPrint reader software. Sure enough after uninstalling it fixed the issue but then the finger print reader is useless. I looked at the latest Version, 3.2.0.116, readme file and it states:
<3.2.0.116>
- (Fix) Fingerprint Reader is not working ater 1 minute idle.
- (Fix) Fingerprint Reader is not working after standby/resume.
I am wondering if they are still working out the bugs, nothice the "l" missing from later. Any help would be a big plus as I need to roll out about 200 or so for my employer in the next month.
