Gather Windows button doesn't work

Hi,
Button "Gather Windows" in "Display Preferences" should (based on help page) transfer all windows from all connected monitors to one I pressed this button on.
However in fact only "Display Preferences" windows from all other monitors are transferred.

Here is how I managed to do this in Mountain Lion:
Preparations:
open lid on MacBook (if not already)
connect external display
go to "System Preferences -> Displays" -> "Arrangement" tab
uncheck "Mirror Displays" checkbox (notice different wallpaper on each of the monitors)
drag menu bar to external display
Now, when external display is connected all opened windows will be displayed on it (because we've made it primary before). Once you now disconnect external display (no matter if lid is open or closed) all windows will appear on internal display.
Now trick is how to make all windows (from all apps) go back to external display:
close lid (macbook will go to sleep automatically then)
connect external display
open lid (macbook will wake up automatically on Mountain Lion)
login dialog displayed on external display
perform login
Now all windows are back on external display where they were (in a bit smaller size maybe).

  • Windows exit button doesn't work

    Hi,
    Does anybody know why the windows' red exit button doesn't work for my program?

    Sorry, I did not understand what you mean.
    The ring control lists all the controls you have on the panel, and usually there is a QUIT ot EXIT button. You may want to select this one.
    What this ring control does is equivalent to setting the ATTR_CLOSE_CTRL programmatically, i.e. you define the ID of the control for which a commit event is generated when you select the Close item in the Windows system menu.

  • [TP Yoga S1] Windows 10 - Auto-Rotate button doesn't work in landscape mode.

    I just updated to Win 10 on Yoga S1. A strange problem occured regarding auto rotate. When the laptop is in landscape mode (normal mode), the physical "Enable/Disable Autorotate" button doesn't work, and the Autorotate button in the action center button is disabled. However, when I physically rotate my laptop, the screen rotates, and suddenly, both buttons now are active. This defeats the purpose of the button since it can't lock rotation when the laptop is in landscape mode. Anyone having this problem too?

    Still have this problem as well. I've installed every windows 10 update I could find.BiosSystem Inferface DriverPower ManagementLenovo System Extension/ButtonSystem Update 5

  • EDIT button doesn't work in smart web printing.

    My edit button doesn't work at all in smart web printing.  I can clip & print okay but I can't edit my clips at all.  I have vista & ie8.  When I click edit, everything grays out in the smart web window & ie8 stops working. I have to recover my tabs but smart web is still grayed out. I have updated to the newest smart web numerous times but keep having the same problem, Please help!!!!

    Reinstalling iPhoto would be the way to go. Hit F4 on the keyboard, hold your mouse on the iPhoto icon until it starts jiggling, then click the black cross that appears in the top right of it. Then, head to the Mac App Store (click the Apple in the very top left, it's the 4th one down) and then reinstall iPhoto. Deleting the iPhoto app shouldn't delete your iPhoto Library, but if you're worried, you can always make a backup... Time Machine will do it, otherwise - manual!
    Go to Finder. Then in the menu bar along the top, click Go, then Home, then Pictures. In the pictures folder, you'll find the photo library file. Copy it to your desktop or an external disk.
    Hope this helps

  • Can't create Smart Collection, Save-Button doesn't work

    i have the Problem  that i can't create Smart Collection, the Save-Button doesn't work, the Smart-Collection Window stays open and nothing happens when i click the "save" button!
    i use CC with a new installed W8 and all is up-to-date.
    Its a strange thing. Please Help me.

    Just to clarify, Photoshop CC has not been released yet.  It will come out on June 17.
    What you have now is Photoshop 13.x as per the subscription model (»Abo«) and it's called Photoshop CS6.  When Photoshop 14.x is released on June 17, then it will be called "CC".
    It's not clear—at least to me—which images, if any, you have selected in Bridge when you hit the »Speichern« (Save) button.
    Remember that a Collection is nothing more than a saved search, i.e. a saved collection of selected search results (hits).
    Could you elaborate on what it is you want to save as a collection?

  • Ran update this morning.  Now power button doesn't work and soft boot brings to the battery/cord icon as if there's no power.  Can't get into anything.  Any help on this?

    Update for Windows was run this morning---it actually made me run it twice.  I was initially able to use my phone but now I get nothing but the battery/power cord symbol.  The power button doesn't work at all.  I have tried soft boot of the down volume and power button.  Seems to reboot but same screen appears.  I cannot access anything on the phone.  Is there any help on this? 

        Hey there, javadan! Thanks for letting us know about the problem with your software upgrade. I'm very sorry for the issues you're having. Based on the two attempts to process, I would have to say there was a problem with both install attempts. You may need to process a factory reset. Which model device do you have?

  • My iPod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work

    My ipod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work! What will I do? It all starmed when I updated iOS 8. It would be fine but would shut down at random, now it won't turn on at all!!! when I press the lock button to turn it on the Apple sign would come up for about 5/10 minutes!! so what will I do???

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                          
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:       
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Device Manager ! FN button doesn't work

    Portege R835-P56X Bios updated to Version 3 The laptop came with 64 Bit but I did a clean install with Windows 7 32 Bit because many of my programs and games didn't work with 64 Bit.
    I can't install Toshiba Value Added Package,Toshiba PC Health Monitor and Toshiba eco Utility because they are 64 Bit.Pressing the FN button doesn't work,it does nothing at all using 32 Bit.With 64 Bit it worked fine with screen icons coming up when I pressed it.I wonder if the FN button only work in 64 Bit or maybe Toshiba Value Added Package contains the FN button driver?If anyone knows where to get Toshiba Value Added Package 32 Bit that may fix this problem,please let me know thanks.
    I have a problem in Device Manager where it's showing ! Other Devices PCI Simple Communications Controller.I took a screen shot of Device Manager with 64 Bit installed just incase I ran into problems.Looking at the 2 Device managers side by side 32 vs 64 it looks like Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter is missing from the 32 Bit Device Manager.
    I'm assuming this is Intel Wireless Display but I'm not 100% sure.Because every time I run Intel Wireless Display I get this error message.Unable to load the Intel My WiFi Technology Dll file
    Anyway there is no Intel Display driver for 32 Bit so I had to download that from Intel website.There is however Intel Wireless Display for 32 Bit which I have installed but the ! in device manager remains.So I uninstalled Intel Wireless Display and downloaded the Wireless Display driver 32 Bit from Intel website hoping that might fix the problem.But the ! in device manager remains.
    I have also tried windows update but it can't find any driver for Hardware.I have added 2 screen shots in Attachments

    Well after alot of searching on Google I have finally found out what this PCI Simple Communications Controller is.
    It's the Intel Management Engine Interface and lucky for me there is a 32 Bit driver.Now I have no more ! in Device Manager and I have uploaded an updated screen shot.
    But now there are 3 questions.
    1 What happened to the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter?It was listed twice in 64 Bit but doesn't show up in 32 Bit Device Manager.
    2 Why do I still get the error message when starting Intel Wireless Display?Unable to load the Intel My WiFi Technology Dll file even though I have found the driver for ! in Device Manager
    3 Why doesn't the FN button work?It worked fine in 64 Bit but in 32 Bit it does absolutely nothing.The same goes for the touchpad on/off button which worked fine before in 64 Bit.But now with 32 Bit presing it doesn't turn the touchpad on or off,It does nothing.I hope Toshiba releases drivers for both of these features.

  • T400 ThinkVantage Button doesn't work

    Hey, I have a problem with the ThinkVantage Button. I was plan to use Powerquest PartitionMagic 8.0 to create a new partition from my C driver. However, instead of create a new partition I lost the Lenovo driver. After that I realize my ThinkVantage Button doesn’t work anymore. I tried to use Disk Management to refund the lost driver, but it pop out some warning like this “The operation failed to complete because the Disk Managemen console view is not up-to-date.” Could anybody tell me how to make my ThinkVantage Button work again? Thank you very much. System:T400Core 2 Duo 2,26 GHz2 GB DDR3Windows Vista home basic 32x Sorry for my English.   Greeting and thanks 

    Hello nivek, welcome to Lenovo forums!
    I think you have messed up your R&R partition, with Pmagic Use gparted instead, it will recognise the R&R partition.
    Is your windows installtion already working?
    Try the master boot repair kit mentioned by AndyP here.
    I would also suggest to call support, for your recovery discs, cause the create R&R disc function seem also down.
    Perhaps only a fresh installation, from these discs, would bring back your Blue Button function in your case.

  • Access IBM button doesn't work

    For some reason my Access IBM button doesn't work. I'm not sure if it has ever worked. This is a refurbished ThinkPad R50, Windows XP Pro. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.....

    Hi,
    in case you just want to have back to F11 option by system startup, then all you need to do is following:
    - check if you have "Rescue and Recovery " application installed
    - If yes, then uninstall it
    - if not, then go to Lenovo.com and download the latest version of Rescue and Recovery
    - once it's downloaded, simply install it
    This installation will modify also the MBR of your system and the F11 option will be present again. Although it might not create a physical partition, but it will instead create a virtual patition, but you will have the F11 option back.
    IMPORTANT: In case you have already captured some backups using Rescue and Recovery, then DONT! uninstall it, just reinstall RnR .
    Cheers
