Help Menu Keeps coming to the front

Is there a way to stop the Help Menu from always being the top window? When trying to find something in the Help Menu, it always stays on the top and I can not get to the windows behind it. Is this a preference somewhere?

No, that seems to be the way it does it!
What you can do is move the application window to the right of your screen and keep the Help window on the left.
That way you can at least see both as well as switching from one to the other!

  • Bridge and Photoshop keep coming to the front while batching

    I downloaded the newest updates today and now when I run a batch from Bridge to a photoshop action the bridge and photoshop programs keep coming to the front and will no longer allow me to work on background programs or surf the net while the batch is running.
    I am using the latest "patches" as of June 5th 2012, on a Mac Pro running 10.6.8
    ANyone got a fix for this?

    I may have updated another program as I have the Production Suite. But before I did the update my Bridge was working very well.
    As always, when Bridge starts unexpected behavior out of nowhere first thing to try is a reset of preferences by restarting the application while holding down option key and from the menu choose reset preferences.
    My videos, mov files are previewing nicely even at 3.5 Gb. But this current challenge of the program not allowing me to work on anything else while I am batching is troubling.
    I'm a bit surprised you did not have experienced this before. It is an OS thing that when applications running in the background come to front when finishing a task. Every time PS finishes a batch task the focus comes to front. But normally you would be able to keep on doing what you are doing IF you have the window you are looking at activated. If you have a browser open you should click on  this window to activate it. Then the activated window should stay in front. Same in Mail, Finder or any other applications. Even haven multiple windows open of this application, the activated window stays in front while others of the same app are hided by PS. At least it does so at my (same as you) set up.
    As Yammer P also suggested, if you have a save command included in the batch action and have set the sort order to date modified or any other setting that changes the sort order in Bridge Content panel when a task (save) is finished it builds a new (updated) thumb and due to sort order replaces itself to top or bottom of the content panel. this also updates the content window and brings it to focus. As said, this is behavior caused by OSX itself.
    But again, this should not effect your front activated window and even with the activated window in front it still can be very disturbing...
    And I forgot to mention since I did the recent up grades my camera raw files will no longer update in Bridge. Even though they are correct once I open them they are being shown as raw/unrefined images.
    This indicates that either your cache has been effected or something happened with your ACR plug in.
    Open PS and in the menu Photoshop look under about plugins / camera raw. Inhere should be only one version showing (for CS 5 this should be 6.7 and for CS6 it shows 7.1)
    Also select a file that has not been updated and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'
    If this rebuilds the thumb correctly choose the menu tools/cache/ purge cache for folder.

  • How do I stop Firefox from coming to the front automatically?

    This happens when Firefox is open in the back ground to a web site and I am working in another program in the foreground. If the web site that is open sends me a message (eg., a new email or message from someone), Firefox automatically comes to the front, interrupting whatever I am doing in the other program (eg., Word). How do I stop Firefox from automatically coming to the front?

    i have even turned off itunes helper in the log in menu.
    Did you remove iTunes Helper from your Login Items?
    If not, you need to remove it from the Login iTunes. Checking an item in your Login Items list hides the item during startup, it doesn't turn it off or not checking the item doesn't turn it off. You need to remove it from your Login Items list if not removed.

  • Can not sign in to Icloud  it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

    can not sign in to Icloud  it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

    Error Message: "Cannot sign in.  The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad/iphone"
    I encountered the same problem when I purchased a used iPad for my elderly father and couldn't set it up for him. I called Apple Support...
    Apple support could NOT help me. I was told there is no way to circumvent the 3 icloud setup limit on iOS devices at their end. I was told to use a different mac or iOS device that hadn't met the 3 x limit.
    So, using MY iPad I tried to do that. At first I went to Settings/iCloud. But that is your PRIMARY iCloud account    (and this was MY iPad and I didn't want to screw up my own settings!) which you don't want to trash.
    After some online research (iMore to be exact) I discovered you can setup a secondary iCloud account using:
    Settings/Mail,Contact,Calendars --> Add Acount... -->iCloud --> Get A Free AppleID --> Birthday Q then Security Question - then Name - then Get a free iCloud email address....
    After you get to the new iCloud settings page at the end of the signup process - I deselected all the tabs which made the new account "inactive" on my iPad.
    Next I went to the used iPad that had the initial problems, and tapped on Settings/iCloud. I signed in with the iCloud account that was newly created and was able to then get an iCloud account to work!
    I left the new iCloud account showing on my own iPad (under Mail,Contacts,Calendars) as it is inactive. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it - it may stop working on my father's iPad then.

  • CCMS Alerts keep coming for the system which was removed from System Monito

    Hello SOLMAN Experts,
    Iu2019ve  noticed quite strange behavior of my SOLMAN CCMS Alerts: CCMS Alerts keep coming for the system which was removed from the System Monitoring.
    Have you ever experienced this?
    Please advice
    Thank you

    Hi 123,
    Please ensure that autoreaction methods are deleted for those systems.
    You can verify system to autoreaction method assigments via RZ21 --> Technical Infrastructure --> Configure Central system -->Assign Central Autoreaction
    also check if that system is appearing as online as follows
    RZ21-> Topology --> system overview --> Monitored and Remote SAP systems
    if yes , make it offline to stop triggering alerts.
    I hope this information will help you.
    Thanks,

  • Help menu options change all the time - repair install always shows

    After installing Acrobat X, I noticed the Help menu options change all the time.  The repair install option is always present and sometimes the deactivate option is present but grreyed-out, somtimes it is enabled and most of the time it doesn't even show up.  I have the full version purchased from a major online retailer.

    I should add the following: The Sound control panel will not even let me click on the "Show volume in Menu Bar" check box.
    I just now installed the latest Brother control panel (Leopard compatible) and it DOES appear in the menu bar.

  • The TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole bar)

    the TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole tool bar, but only these two menus), I can see File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks but not Tools and Help (on Firefox 3.6 on windows XP)

    I suspect that you installed an extension that hides some menu items thru user settable preferences.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • LR5 won't import photos Ijust took.  Keeps coming up:"The following files were not imported because they could not be read."  And it's ALL the photos.  never had this problem be4.  what gives?

    Keeps coming up:"The following files were not imported because they could not be read." And it's ALL the photos. never had this problem be4. what gives?  Using an SD card, its a 64GB 600x Speed .  I'm on a Mac 10.8.5; iPhoto has no problem importing them.

    In order to see the windows that show sharing and permissions I gave you above, you have to right click on the the item, e.g. folder, HD, etc., and this window comes up.  Then you right click on "Get Info" and the windows with S/P pop up.  In LR%, if I right click on Destinations folder, this is what comes up:
    There is no option to "Get Info", and if I right click within Destinations folder, this is what comes up:
    Still no "Get Info".  If I click on the specific file (in this case "2015), this is all I get:  Last thought, yesterday out of desperation, I called the Apple store.  I am operating on Mountain Lion operating system, and Yosemite is the latest (as of 10/14).  The manager suggested that if there had been an update in LR5 that was now only compatible with this later system, maybe that was the issue and I should consider updating to Yosemite.  I had no problem downloading photos as of 9/14, but don't think I've done anymore since their update….when was the last LR5 (I'm using LR5.7 currently)?   Do you think this might be the problem with permissions?

  • HT201485 I cannot remember my iCloud password. Caption keeps coming on the screen asking for password

    while operating my iPad 2 it keeps asking for icloud.com password which I do not remember. Caption keeps coming on the screen. Very frustating.

    Hello monanikhil,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’ve forgotten your Apple ID password, which your iPad is prompting you to enter. The article linked below outlines both the process and options for resetting your Apple ID password.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

  • JSF : why does my menu keep moving to the middle...?

    Does anyone have this problem with their webpages using JSF? I have a menu on the left of my webpages, which keeps moving to the middle each time I make my page width smaller. Does anyone know why?
    thank you

    I have mine set to Snap to Grid and my Macintosh HD icon stays in the upper right corner, and I’m also using Spaces.
    Maybe if you try adjusting the Grid Spacing it would help.
    Or you could try moving the finder.plist file to the Desktop from your Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder and restarting. If that doesn’t fix it you can move the finder.plist file back to the Preferences folder to replace the new one it created.

  • I currently have iTunes version 7 and I need to upgrade to version 10.  I am afraid of losing all my music if I just download 10 and when I use the "Check for updates" in the version 7 help menu, it tells me the server cannot be contacted.

    I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod.  When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server.  I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library.  What should I do to upgrade?

    Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

  • Using a "menu ring" feature on the front panel with event structures

    hello - right now i have many event cases controlled by many "ok buttons". i would like to use a menu ring on the front panel to save space from all those buttons, but i don't see how it will work with all the individual event cases. currently each event is tied to a single button, and the menu ring acts as one thing on the block diagram so i can't tie an event to a choice in the menu. any suggestions? thanks....

    Alternativley, you could use an enum control instead of a menu ring. It will name the cases according to the selection automatically.
    If you want to use a menu ring and strings, you could do something like in this image.
