Force app to remain in front of others?

I often have BBC News 24 playing in RealPlayer on my 15" MacBook Pro , but if I want to work in another window like Safari, Filemaker or any other app that needs most of the screen to itself, the RealPlayer window obviously becomes hidden.
Are there any commands (plist or console) that can be run to temporarily hold a specified window in front of all other apps? Or a third party tool which can enable this? This way I could leave it in a lower corner of the screen where it doesn't interfere too much with the app i want to work in and remains constantly visible.
Many thanks
Mark

Finally, Unsanity has begun to release Leopard compatible beta versions of several products, including Fruit Menu and Window Shade. I, for one, am very happy to see these releases. Fruit Menu works well. Haven't experienced any bugs so far.
Window Shade will have to wait a few days until I'm sure FM is stable.

  • Forcing Window/View to front of other windows ?

    Is there a way to code a webdynpro to force the window and view it is working in to the front of other windows currently running ?  The program which is called from an ABAP report program is being brought up in a background window - and I was hoping to force it to the foreground somehow...
    This question arises out of an attempt to start a webdynpro within the portal framework from an abap program via a url call from the class cl_gui_frontend_services (this class supported SSO -as opposed to Call_browser - which caused other problems...) I will be posting a question to the abap-general forum as well to question the calls - but I am hoping there is an answer on the webdynpro java side.
    Thanks for any suggestions !

    One misnomer - the abap class is cl_gui_html_viewer - with the show_url method...

  • Question regarding  to changing the region of the app with remaining balance

    Question regarding  to changing the region of the app with remaining balance
    Hello, I am attempting to change the location of my app store which has remaining balance of 0.01$. In order to change the location of the store, it requires  spending all the remaining  balance. As my balance is too low " 0.01$" to buy an app from the store, I am not able to change the region of my app store. Moreover, Since I am not a residence in USA, I am not able to use my credit card either.
    I am wondering if it is possible to change the location of my app store with a remaining balance OR  to delete my current balance.
    Thanks

    I assume you mean in the security settings screen of IE. There are several differences:
    Description     User's Computer     Other Computer
    Allow previously unused ActiveX controls to run without prompt     Enable     Disable
    Allow Scriptlets     Enable     Disable
    Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls     Enable     Disable
    Only allow approved domains to use ActiveX without prompt     Disable     Enable
    Automatic prompting for file downloads     Enable     Disable
    Access data sources across domains     Prompt     Disable
    Allow scripting of Microsoft web browser control     Enable     Disable
    Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints     Enable     Disable
    Allow websites to open windows without address or status bars Enable Disable
    Don’t prompt for client certificate selection when no certificates or only
    one certificate exists     Enable     Disable
    Include local directory path when uploading files to a server     Enable     Disable
    Launching applications and unsafe files     Enable     Prompt
    Software channel permissions     Medium safety     Does not have this option listed
    Use Pop-up Blocker     Disable     Enable
    Use SmartScreen Filter     Disable     Enable
    Allow status bar updated via script     Enable     Disable
    Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows     Enable     Disable
    Enable XSS filter     Disable     Enable
    User even changed above IE setting according to the other IE but he still gets the same error.

  • Can I force App Store/iTunes to require CCV prior to purchasing?

    As I have my credit card details saved in my Apple account, I'm worried that someone who has access to my iTunes or my iPhone will be able to make purchases using my credit card if I was recently logged in. Is it therefore possible to force Apple's App Store, iTunes Store AND Online Store to require credit card verification prior to permitting payment or should I just remove my credit card details?
    Thanks

    I don't even have a App Store icon on the phone.  Is there a setting that is screwed up?
    First swipe to the Spotlight search facility on your iPhone and type App Store. Does the App store show in the list?
    If not, have Restrictions been activated on your phone (Settings/General/Restrictions) and installing apps restricted/turned off?

  • HT4623 I clicked on "update all" on my app , however my TRX Force app has yet to update and keeps asking me to retry. Yes, I am connected to WIFI and yes, I am updated to the latest version of itunes. anything else I may be missing?

    I clicked on "update all" on my apps and all updated but my TRX FORCE App. it kept asking me to retry even after I connected to WIFI and downloaded/updated to the latest itunes. Am I missing something else? This was an expensive app that I use everyday for my line of work. ??

    It says that the feature I am trying to use it on a network resource that in unavailable. It then asks me to enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi'
    That's perfect, thanks.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • What to do if usage=stanby and forced app stop does'n work?

    What to do if usage=standby and forced app stop doesn't work?

    thanks for your answers.
    I only saw them now; at the time you posted I had already tried to reboot.
    as anticipated, it did not work. however, it provided me with a very interesting evening with a liveCD.
    the problem was: the kernel does not like the partition table to change and will ignore any changes until the next reboot ("hdparm -z /dev/sda", i.e. forcing the kernel to see reason and to accept the new partition table did not work) ... which means when I re-mkfs'ed the boot partition it used the old partition table and on reboot partition table and filesystem were inconsistent. jackpot.
    so i reformated the partition table another time from a chroot environment. this time grub-install ran cleanly. however it also deleted my kernel. not very nice. i do not really know why or how, the only way i can make sense of it is that it completely deletes the /boot partition. no idea why? it was not really a problem because I still had the backup of the boot partition; but at that point I was convinced that grub2 is a desaster in any possible way.
    it took me another 30 minutes to figure out how grub-mkconfig puts the grub2 config together ... and another 30 minutes to figure out that the contents of /etc/grub.d/ are ignored if they are not executable (chmod +x)
    finally it appears the device naming convention has changed from (hd0,0) in grub to 'hd0,msdos1' in grub2 for which I also fail to see a good reason.
    a couple of hours later my system feels and looks still very messy but I got it up and running again...
    thanks, ataraxia & WonderWoofie, for your ideas; good night.

  • Does my iMac need an anti-virus or malware detection app to remain secure?

    Does my iMac need an anti-virus or malware detection app to remain secure?

    The best defense for keeping your Mac secure is YOU.  Honestly, I will not tell you to not get software but YOU are the best way to stay safe. I myself have never used any software on my personal computers personally.
    rules to remember:
    Don't:
    Open any e-mails from an unknown sender
    Open any e-mails that have attachments unless that person is in your contacts...BUT, this one can be tricky as well.  If one of your contacts gets infected, their computer could send an email (with an attachment) to everyone in their contact list.  This is a trick to get you to open the attachment because you know the sender.  So always check for really generic subject lines that sound fake, call them if you are not sure.
    Click on any of those intrusive ads on websites.
    Careful downloading software from the Internet that you are not sure about.  Always do your research.
    if you do decide to get software, I can safely say DO NOT GET MACKEEPER.  STAY AWAY.  I have heard only horror stories about this software. 
    Keep your Network safe, make sure if youuse an open WiFi connection to LOCK it.

  • I want the forced apps gone!

    I am not going to EVER play Madden NFL 11 , watch anything from Block Buster, get anything from Amazon Kindle, etc., etc. Please, for the love of god Verizon, give us the common decency to pick what we want. I pay you an enormous amount of money for a phone every month. My cable tv bill is less than my phone bill even if I leave it on for the entire month. However, I can remove/block channels I dont want. I realize you make money from the forced apps, but it's at my additional expense. You guys certainly aren't hurting for cash. Again, I pay a premium price and I'm forced to subjected to your ads. Do you watch commercials on the premium tv channels like HBO or Showtime? No, you don't. Give me the **** uninstall option. End of rant.

    This subject has been discussed and beaten to death, ad infinitum. (for many years now)  It is not going to go away, and nothing you can say, (or rant about) will ever change it.
    So either live with them or.......... ????
    Best of luck!

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

    All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
    What are the pros and cons of
    1) choosing to use the SAME
                                                  Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
                                                  purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
    2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
    P.S.
    I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
    Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
    Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

    This worked for someone
    I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
    About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
    Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
    I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
    Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.
