FW CS4 Mac: Top left of window lost under Tools Panel and Application Bar

Hello!
Somehow Fireworks started opening all my windows pushed to the top left, and tucked under the tools panel and the new Applications Bar - the only way to move windows, is to un-snap the bars and pull them off of the top of the screen -- really annoying. I tried throwing out FW CS4's prefs files - no help. Changing the view mode - no help...
Help?

These are the steps that should be followed:
Restore default preferences
Quit Fireworks.
Locate the Fireworks      Preferences file on your hard disk and delete it.
The exact location of this file varies from system to system.
In Windows, preferences are      in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder.
    Windows [Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS#\English\
In Mac OS, preferences are in      the Library/Preferences folder in your user folder. For information about      locating your Mac OS user folder, see Apple Help.
Mac              [User]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Fireworks CS#/en/Fireworks Preferences
Note: On Mac OS, most      Fireworks user-specific configuration files are stored in your      user-specific Application Support folder.
          The Fireworks CS4 Preferences file is an exception.
3. Restart Fireworks.
The next time Fireworks is launched, a new preferences      file will be created that restores Fireworks to its original      configuration.

If you've changed your startup options on mac to start in windows, how do you fix and go back to mac on startup?

if you've changed your startup options on mac to start in windows, how do you fix and go back to mac. I can't get my mac to switch back to mac, it is like stuck in widows mode, I have tried holding down the options key upon start up and that did not fix it either.
Please help! Thank you so much!

The Apple drivers you install in Windows also puts a Startup Drive icon in the Task Bar. Choose that to change the startup disk back OS X.

I just purchased a software upgrade. I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s)." How do I do this??

I just purchased a software upgrade to OSX Lion. I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s). How do I "launch the Mac App Store?"

Assuming you are running OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.7.x Lion, 10.8.x Mountain Lion or 10.9.x Mavericks), go to the Apple Menu (top left-hand corner of the screen)>App Store and it should become clear from there.

New icons always at top left of window

When I create a new file or folder its icon is always created at the top left corner of the enclosing Finder window, even if there's already something there. In previous versions the icon would be positioned in white space somewhere, which was much more useful for me. I don't want to keep my icons sorted or otherwise automatically arranged, I'd like this behaviour classed as a bug and fixed.
I've tried this on other machines and it seems to be the default behaviour.

Hi, ueli — and Rev. Andy and Pam, should you happen to revisit this thread —
b>(1) Apparently, you're not alone. Other have expressed problems with this issue — several posts in Will Mardis' "Icons of downloaded files overlap is an example. But I've never experienced it (I seldom use icon, or list, view), so I'll reply as if it were brand new...
b>(2) Font compatibility?Is there any chance that a font compatibility issue is involved? You can check this using /Applications/Font Book, looking for duplicate fonts demarked by a "•" beside them and using Edit »» Resolved Duplicates. File »» Validate Font may also be helpful. From within Font book, Help »» Font Book Help explains...
b>(3) View option settings?
I've just tried to replicate the behavior that I think is being described — and I can't.
I'll explain — just in case there's something helpful hidden subtly among my attempts that's helpful to you:
(a) I created a new folder named "Testing" inside ~/Documents/ with "list view" selected
(b) Since you've all mentioned icon behavior, I set its View »» View options as follows:
• Icon size: 48 x 48; text size: 12 pt.; Label position: bottom
• Show item info and Show icon preview are selected; Snap to grid and Keep arranged by: aren't.
(c) I created three very simple TextEdit documents named Testing 123, Testing 456, and Testing 789.
(d) I saved the first two directly into the "Testing" folder; the third I saved into ~/Documents/, then dragged it into "Testing."
(e) I checked the folder after each "save." After the first file — which was naturally placed in the top-left-hand corner of Testing's Finder window — the other icons were placed ("in white space") at appropriate distances to its right. None overlapped, "took over" the left-hand-side, etc.
(4) How are you doing this differently — if you are? Can you replicate what I've described — or help me to understand the problem definition more clearly?
I honestly don't understand why some folks would experience this consistently, others, intermittently, and yet others not at all — unless it's solvable. Perhaps Mac OS X Feedback or BugReporter (requires free ADC membership) would be appropriate.
HTH!
Warm regards,
Dean

What do the Chinese characters in top left of window fram signify?

In the top left hand corner of the browser frame are a number of what appear to be Chinese characters- which change according to changing pages why are they there? What do they mean? Is it important? Has the program been corrupted? Is my security compromised?

ITunes opens but without any text showing. Drop down menus have text but not the app itself. I have a Mac Powerbook Pro running Windows XP under Boot Camp.

Running under Windows XP, a few upgrades ago iTunes started opening without any text showing in the application. Clicking on PLAY will play music but no text shows to indicate what's playing and no text to show music library. Drop down windows show text but not the app itself.
Subsequent upgrades and reinstalls have not corrected the problem, When I run under iOS (Snow Leopard), iTunes opens with text and runs correctly.
Help!

Because I created FAT32 partition using Boot Camp tool few days ago I installed my custom copy of Windows XP with SP3, IE7 and WMP10 integrated using nLite (for WMP10 integration use RVM Integrator). I did not use Boot Camp tool this time - I just booted CD using Option key. Then I installed Boot Camp 2.0 drivers you can find on Mac Disk 1. After this I installed Boot Camp drivers 2.1 update. In Add or remove Programs I checked drivers - I uninstalled old drivers which call identical, but you can skip this. Everything works fine BTW it is better to format your partition to NTFS - you have much less disk errors, you do not waste time for disk errors scans during Windows startup, your data are much more safe. If you need NTFS write permissions use great tool Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX or open source NTFS driver.

I am trying to resize disk space on parallels 6 for windows XP under configure Hardrive and I get the error resizing failed unable to resize last volume the file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported? I am on a Mac using Parallels 6

I have been trying to increase my disk space for windows xp on my Imac and I am running parallels 6. before opening windows I go into configure in parallels and open the hard drive and try to move the allotted disk space from 32 gig to 64 or any other increased gig and then apply and I get the error message: resizing failed unable to resize last volume. The file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported. How do I increase the size?? I just also did a disk repair utility with Apple on the Apple side of my IMAC. Please Help!! I had uninstalled SQL server on the windows side and needed to uncompress files to install this and then I ran short on disk space.

This sounds to me that your Parallels XP file system is corrupted and not the OSX file system.
Have you checked the XP file system while running the Parallels XP yet ?
However, it would be better to ask such question in the Parallels Forum http://forum.parallels.com/

How to hide tab bar and application bar? In ID CS4.

Hello all!
Please help! Maybe someone have idea how to disable both?
It is only waste of space imo. Will not use them for sure...
Never opening more than 2-3 docs and than can easy use shortcut ctrl+`. Tabbed pages are good in web browser imho... Application bar is also just useless and (as menu itself) too fat. Most of those are in menu and have shortcuts. New features could be in menu as well.
Don't know why interface changed so much. And why this direction.
I know monitors are bigger nowdays etc - but are wider rather than higher.
Also - maybe new interface is great and ppl love it - but would be nice to have a choice. Some may prefere maximize workspace...
M.

Thanks for responses...
Yes - mac users can be really happy. What about PC? What was wrong with classical menu?
Are designers really works with several documents the same time? So need to use tabs? Well maybe. But those who works with just one or two don't need it really. (Maybe easy solution could be: one doc = no tab, more = tabbed, would be more natural imvho. As well as turning it off for PC users as well.)
So really no trick similar to 'noallcaps'? Notabsbar? Noapplicationbar?
"You can turn off the tabs in the preferences, interface section."
Yes, I can - but no more place coz of this... Window isn't maximized in fact - is floating, what also personally I don't like. Anyway - it is the same size and use the same space as before... If u make next one doc it is even smaller, to show bottom one. Maximizing it to full screen... hiding menu and docked 'control panel' (OK this docked menu can float, np - but where is menu?).
As for maximized letter size document in CS3 vs CS4 it's 131% to 129% on my lcd. Sure - it is not much maybe. But why it must be less? Why to change smthng what was good and aesthetic solution. And why not allow people to use it in classical way? Are Mac users ("to keep the hardcore Mac users happy") better than others? :(

How can I stop from second window opening small in Safari and browser bar floating in and out like the dock?

Every so often I will click on a link in safari and it opens a second window. It opens it small. I can click the two diagonal arrow in the upper right hand corner and go to full view but then the browser bar at th top and all the Safari stuff like file, edit, view, history etc float up out of site. Much like the disappearing dock I can get it come back by going up by it. This is very frustrating. I have fixed it in the past but each time it is very difficult to find out how to do it. First why does this start happening? and if it does how can I get it to go back to the normal way? I will then bookmark the answer so I will be able to fix it quickly if it happens again.

I may not have called things the proper name. I am re-wording this now. Hopefully this makes it clearer.
Every so often,(3 times in 4 months), I will click on a web site and a new window will open much smaller than the standard window. I can enlarge the window by click the two arrows in the upper right hand corner but the menu bar disappears and reappears if you hover over it. I tried what some said above and when the window was small dragged it to the same size as the window under it, menu bars all visible. I closed that window and reopened it and it opened small again. I can go for several weeks and all additional windows open the correct size and with menus visible, then it goes into this mode. Everything running Lion 10.7.2 and Sarafi 5.1.1
I straightened it out one time or got it to stop doing that but don't remember how I did it. My husband fixed it the second time and he isn't around today. Anyone able to help?

Installed Firefox on Windows 7 but the menu and icons bar is full of little horizontal lines over the icons and menu bar..

I installed Firefox 21 on a new Windows 7 OS. The menu bar and the icon bar at the top of the windows is full of little horizontal lines. Sometimes there are more lines and sometime less lines. It makes the icons and the menu items almost impossible to see. So far it's only the Firefox screen that does this. The other programs I installed so far doesn't do this.
Any ideas?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I lost my Tool Panel

I lost my Tool Panel

Hi there,
If your panels have disappeared, try pressing the tab button on your keyboard. Does that make them show up?
If you still cannot see your tools panel, check Window > Tools. Is there a check mark by the tools option? If not, click on it.
Let me know if this doesn't solve your problem!

Document windows open under Tool Palette

I am running Photoshop 12.0.4 (CS5) on a MacBook Pro and OS 10.6.8.
When I open photos in Photoshop, they always open directly underneath the Tools Palette which I have positioned at the upper left corner of my screen, just below the Options Bar. They seem to be in Cascade mode, so if I open more than three, then the images beyond the third seem to clear the Tools Palette, but I am always forced to move each of the first three images in order to view them fully and work on them.
In previous versions, it seems like the program was always smart enough to place opened images adjacent to, and not obstrcuted by, the Tools Palette.
I've tried to re-position the images and then quit Photoshop to see if it remembers the positioning, as well as many other alternatives, but can't seem to get any other positioning to stick.
Obviously, this is not a huge tragedy, just a minor annoyance, but it never used to happen in earlier versions. How do I fix it? It seems like it should be a very basic setting, but I can't find it.
Many thanks!

Thanks, Peter. That is an interesting tip and it will move a single image out from underneath the Tools palette (while also enlarging it), but if I open several images at once, then I still need to click toward one of the back images - the first three are the ones that get partially covered by the Tools palette - hit Command-0 and then navigate to the other images sequentially and do the same.
While I'm sure there are keyboard shortcuts to skip to the next image also, it just seems to make more sense for the program to align the images properly in the first place. I've never had a previous version of Photoshop behave this way before. It seems like it must be an easy and obvious fix, I just can't figure it out.
Again, thank you for offering your help. I do appreciate it.

Icloud lost in finder favorites and applications

Hi everybody,
after getting my new imac with mountain lion (I think) I more or less immediately deleted icloud from my finder favorites and (think) from my applications, too.
So now I still have icloud in the system preferences pane, but would like to have it back in my finder favorites and applications.
Already tried to find it in the mountain lion install.pkg, because I can't find it anywhere on the harddisk in the finder search anymore.
Tx for your help. Any suggestions well appreciated
Ron

Open a Window and in the sidebar click on the icon of the house - that is your user folder (and it has your account name). Now look in the window for your Pictures folder. Drag it onto the sidebar and release it. It should be back in the sidebar.
You cannot drag items from the sidebar to move them. If you want to put an alias of the Pictures folder on the desktop, find it in your user folder and drag it to the desktop while holding command + option.

Re: using windows 7 in two Macs I have a Mac book Pro with parallels and windows 7 installed but I left my windows 7 dvd in Dubai and I am in NY. If I want to migrate windows 7 to my I mac, will I need the code or key to enter?

I have two Macs and one windows but I left the disk along with the key code in Dubai. If I want to use windows 7 on bootcamp on my other mac, and do a migrate, will I have to use the key code at some point?
if do do I have to buy a new windows 7?

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.
