How do I maximise working Window in OSX?

I'm using a 12' Powerbook (Tiger) and would like to stretch every working window to its maximum size and move it up and over to touch the screen edges. In most programs it is detached from the finder toolbar (top of screen. This is a real pain!
Is there an applescript somewhere that I can use to save me moving and resizing the program window every time I open a program in OSX?
I downloaded a script to do this in Word 2008 and set up a keyboard shortcut. I would like to be able to do this in all programs - or better still, set this up by default for all programs. Surely there is a script available for this purpose?

  • Extended monitor: how do I maximise windows + trouble using PC keyboard

    I've got an external monitor attached to my Macbook Pro
    How do I maximise a window in the extended monitor?
    When I maxmise, it just pops back to my mac screen
    ALSO: any advice on using a PC keyboard?
    I'm finding it fiddly using the Windows button
    ALSO: swiping... I cant do
    I have the Macbook Po on a laptop raiser
    Can I swipe with the mouse somehow?
    Thanks

    What OS are you running?
    There is no shortage of keys so if it is smaller it just means it is has less bulky and wated space. The wireless ones do not have a number pad if that is what you mean. Apple has a USB "full size" keyboard with number pad.
    I assume, since you are listed the price as pound, you are in the UK?

    The track pad is the same as the one on the laptop just bigger and wireless.
    I have a MacBook Pro with two additional displays so I use the Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad. I find gestures to be a great time saver and would never go back to a mouse.

  • How can I maximise windows under Lion?

    OK, I realise that this is a trivial question that seems to have been answered several times for previous incarnations of OS X, but I thought I'd read somewhere the the behaviour of the green triffic light buttong had changed under Lion, so that it provide Maximise capability. Ufortunately, from what I cna see, it hasn't :-(
    It cycles through various window sizes, and will get close to the maximise function, but only if you have already manually set the size using the mouse (or touch pad).
    What I'm realy looking for is a feature that will unconditionally set the window to its maximum possible size - does this exist?
    Note that I do not want the full screen facility, which I know about. I dislike this because it hides too much of the application away, such as the menu.
    I may be being unreasonable, but this doesn't sound like too much to ask.
    Note that this request is partly for myself, but mainly for my wife who has just transferred to OS X from Windows.

    If Apple put as much effort into implemeeitng as they've put int justifying *not* impleemmting it then the world would be a better (and different) place.
    Apple chose - a LOOONG time ago - to put that power in the hands of developers.  If you develop an app, you can choose how the maximize button works for your app.  This makes the maximize button far more intelligent and useful, if developers take the trouble to do so, since the window can then maximize to display the most content possible instead of uselessly covering the entire screen when the content is only a fraction of that area.  Personally, I think Apple made the right choice, as I almost never want one window to cover the entire screen, but if you disagree, just use Right Zoom.  Or full screen mode.

  • How do i set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based PC

    How do I set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based pc?

    To mount the AirPort Disk in Windows 7 or Vista:
    Open the Network browser by double-clicking Network on the Windows Desktop.
    The AirPort Extreme base station name should appear in the browswer.
    Double-click the name and you should get a login prompt.
    Now depending on how you set up disk access:
    In the Name field, either enter the user account name or for base station/disk access, leave this field blank.
    In the Password field, enter the base station, disk, or user account password.
    Select the volume(s) you want to mount, and then, click OK.

  • My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them?

    My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them? I tried everything; such as auto hide the task bar. Even with this, I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar. I even tried the following and I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar.
    1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste dom and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars preference to switch it from false to true. By choosing true, you disable sites from deciding whether there can be scrollbars on a window, and Firefox uses its standard behavior for the page.
    If you want to always get other bars, here are the corresponding settings:
    Menu Bar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar
    Navigation Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar
    Bookmarks Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar
    Please help.

    Can you post a screen shot?
    Taking a Screen shot; '''''Windows > Start >''''' search box '''''> Snipping Tool'''''.
    Save the picture(s) to your desktop. Now look at the '''Reply''' box below.
    Do you see the button under it that says '''Browse'''? Click it and then select

  • Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions did not work

    Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions didn't work.  Spent most of today installing and uninstalling itunes according to their instructions.  They will charge me again if I call again.

    When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
    That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
    What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

  • Ipod Classic 120g - How to make it work again? Was formatted by windows.

    My ipod classic shows as "removable device" in the finder, but does not appear on itunes. The iPod was formatted as a mobile device on windows. How to make it work again?

    Hello soraiaSP
    Try putting your iPod classic into Disk Mode and then use iTunes to restore it. Then it should show up within iTunes to sync media across to it.

    Working window for Photoshop CS5 has turned lite blue. How do I change it back to grey?

    You talking about the empty canvas border around the image?  On a PC one would normally open a document in tabbed view, then right-click the mouse in the space around the outside of the document.  Then you can change the color.

  • Wireless suddenly doesn't work, both in OSX and windows 7

    I have got a new model of MacBook Pro 13-inch. Everything work fine until one day I found the wireless suddenly didn't work, both in OSX and windows 7(boot camp.)
    I tried my USB-wireless adapter on macbook, it works fine.
    In bootcamped windows 7, I have uninstalled and re-install the wireless adapter, still doesn't work.
    Actually it can find the wireless networks but cannot join them.
    I need to mention before then I kept play heavy games like starcraft2 frequently, and macbook got so hot during playing, so maybe the wireless module was damaged by heat somehow??

    Seems I'm pretty annoying but I need to post again because I found something interesting: once I plug my external monitor to the macbook, the wireless strikes, and once I plug out the monitor, wireless recovers... Anyone has any idea?
