Full screen applications (facetime, dvd, iPhoto) fly off to the right of my screen after about 1 minute.

When I've got Facetime or a dvd running after about 1 minute the active window flies off to the right, it's still open somewhere else and I can bring it back to work on but it will go again a minute or so later. I can't find anything running that is refreshing or interfering. I've upgraded indesperation to mountain lion incase it was a lion issue but it's still there. i can't find any mention of this on the communities already. If someone could point me in the right direction of how to solve this or let me know if they have had the same issue and we could maybe compare and see what the common issue is.

- Open Firefox -> got to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check if its working.

  • Why do the screens on my Mac Book fly off to the side?

    Why do the screens on my Mac Book fly off to the side?  Scrolling and clicking on open programs bring back the screens BUT I don't want them to disappear in the first place.  Help?

    Just realized this is occuring on an older Mac with 10.6.8 system, so no Mission Control.  But I did change hot corner settings to do nothing and we'll see how that goes.
    Thanks very much.

  • Where is the photo tab on itunes? My device is not listed on the left side of my screen and there is no photos tab on the right of my screen. I want to delete photo albums that were synced through itunes to my ipad 3.

    I synced several photo albums to my iPad 3  from my computer through iTunes. Now, I would like to remove them and have discovered that they cannot be removed except through using iTunes. Instructions that I've read say that once the device is connected to and selected from the list in iTunes, select the Photo Tab and then the folder that contains the photos etc.  I never get that far because I do not have a Photo Tab to select in iTunes. How do I find this illusive tab so that I can delete these albums that are merely duplications of other pictures and are just occupying space. I need to get rid of them. Can anyone help me find the photo tab. I cannot move past that step until I do. Also, my device is not listed on the left side as stated in the instructions. It's in the bar on the upper right area of my screen and is automatically selected when connected. I am using the current version 11.1 for iTunes and IOS 7 on my iPad 3, if that helps.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

  • The app store screen is way off to the right and stuck with the spinning wheel. I can't close it. Should I force close? It said iPhoto did not update.

    The App Store screen is way off to the right so I can't access it. It has the little spinning wheel I can see when I swipe up to see what's open. It won't close. Should I try to force it? How much more time should I give it? I did just give Google some accessibily access that it asked for. Just upgraded to Maverick. I thought everything was fine. Says iPhoto needs a retry; but I can't get to the screen to try again. Pages also says it has an update; but also says it just updated.

    Thank Carolyn,
    I had tried that; but to restart it had to close, and to close it had to close the App Store, which was stuck. Finally did a force close. Am now trying to update iPhoto. We'll see if works this time.

  • On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

    Click on the Hot Corners..  button and look at the four definitions.  In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop.  Set it to "-" to deactivate.

  • Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

    can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

    What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
    You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
    But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.

  • Firefox loads, icon is on task bar but when clicked the graphics slide off to the right but don't fill the screen & when clicked again, falls back into the icon

    Firefox, Thunderbird & Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I exited the game & clicked the icon to return Firefox to full screen, I could see the image flash off to the right side of my monitor screen and disappear. When I again clicked on the icon in the task bar, the reverse happened- the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the open screens show up with the red X to close but the same thing happens when I click on that box. The other two programs that were open while the game was active are working fine, only Firefox has been affected. I cannot open the program to access any of the menu items as I cannot get the screen image on the monitor. I did uninstall the program and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run it. I did chose to save my settings so if something has been changed there then that might be the problem.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • The entire window went off the screen to the right, can see icon at bottom but when I click on it it zips off to the right.

    I was working in Firefox and clicked on something which made the entire window flash off to the right, unable to be seen. The Firefox icon is available at the bottom but when I click it, it sends the screen off to the right. Click on icon again and it will take it from "off the screen" back into the icon. I tried restarting with no change. It only affects one user on the computer.

    Tip... write out the post in Text Edit first, then copy paste the message into the Tumblr window.

  • Mini 210 touchpad consistently causes mouse to fly off to the side, disrupting typing on keyboard

    I have had several generations of HP Minis.  In fact, I have a mini 210-2100.
    However, I purchased a Mini 210-3000, and whenever I type on it, the touchpad always causes the mouse to fly off to the side disrupting typing.  I've already disabled, the extra sensitivity on the mouse settings in the control panel, and that seemed to mitigate the problem somewhat.
    However, the problem persists.  I'm wondering if anyone else has figured out how to resolve this issue.  I'm really regretting having purchased this computer.

    I have kmsconvt installed and running(i like it :-) ) instead getty and maybe that is proplem since all TTY's behave bad after x is running. whit bad I mean that input from one tty leaks to another, and image does also leak. I gota try if swithing back to  getty and see if it helps.
    and as wiki tells kmscon uses kms(kernel mode set ) which doesn't have good reputation whit closed source Nvidia(or AMD) drivers
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KMSCON
    Starting X from getty seems to work just nice, so I asume it is KMSCON bug.
    I reported bug on KMSCON git hub page: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/issues/105

  • My computer won't turn off.  It says iPhoto is doing something and iPhoto is doing nothing, the circle has been spinning for 45 minutes.

    My computer won't turn off.  It says iPhoto is doing something and iPhoto is doing nothing, the circle has been spinning for 45 minutes.

    Try that. If that doesn't help:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards

  • Pictures in e-mail are cut off on the right side.

    some pictures in e-mail are cut off on the right side. When I zoom out the text gets smaller but the picture stays the same

    Sounds like the webpage you are on isn't optimized for devices with touch screens. I would suggest attempting to use a different web browser such as atomic browser or any of the other ones in the App Store. Otherwise you may have to resort to using a Mac/PC to do your homework.
