How do I stop my my inactive files from floating BEHIND my active CS6 window in Mac?

I have CS6 and when working on different images, the inactive images go to behind the photoshop window and do not stay in the front. This is very inconvenient when I want to drag these images on top of active images to create layers. How do I stop these windows from 1. floating and 2. going behind the active window. I am working on a mac.
I can be reached at Skype: rcarolwaldman or email: [email protected]
Thanks

The way I do it on my Mac is go to Window > Application Frame to make sure that my interface is full-screened and all opened files are tabs. When I want to drag something onto my working file I click on the appropriate tab and with the Move tool selected and the Shift key pressed I drag the layer up to the tab for my working file. When it pops open I drag the tool towards the center and release to add the image on a new layer.
If you'd prefer to have all of your open documents visible at the same time you can choose a viewing option by pressing the Arrange Documents button at the top. I find this useful when I'm painting from reference photos. Since they are all open it's very easy to drag from one to another.

How can I stop random audio advertising files from playing?

Recently, my Macbook Pro has been playing random audio files. They are mostly advertisments about mucus medicine and news clips about soccer. Yesterday, I discovered that when I quit Safari, the audio stops. Today the problem is back again. What can I do to get rid of these annoying ads?

Safari > Preferences > Security
Make sure that "Block pop-up windows" is enabled.
Temporarily disable the plug-ins
Safari > Preferences > Security > Web content: Enable plug-ins
If the audio is from Flash based ads it should stop.
Re-enable that feature later.
Best.

How do I generate PDF and CHM files from the a command line in windows?

I am trying to set up a PC to build some documents during the night. I was looking for a way to get framemaker to generate PDF and CHM files via a command line in windows? How is this done with FrameMaker 12
Thanks for the help
Alex

Hi,
The part with generate a PDF via a jsx seems to work OK, except when FrameMaker decides that it will not work anymore. I must say I am not impressed with the stabillity of FrameMaker 12, there is room for a lot of improvement!.
I have given up on how to figure out how to get FrameMaker 12 to generate chm files via jsx scripts, any pointes are still very welcome.
The route I have taken is I make a RoboHelp project for each chm files I need to generate. The only thing this RoboHelp project contains is a link to the actual FrameMaker project I want to generate a chm file.
To make the chm I start RoboHelp with a script that
1) Opens the desired project
2) Sets the desired output chm files name
3) Generates the chm file
4) And finally quits RoboHelp
Below is a copy of the jsx in case anyone can reuse anything. And yes parameters are transfered via enviroments variable. I have later learned there is some way to read the parameters given at a command line but this seems to work so I stick to this for now.
// Get parameters
var RhProjName = $.getenv("RH_PROJ_NAME");
var RhChmName = $.getenv("RH_CHM_NAME");
var RhLogFileName = $.getenv("RH_LOGFILE_NAME");
var RhLogFile = new File(RhLogFileName);
RhLogFile.open("w", "TEXT");
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_PROJ_NAME : ", RhProjName);
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_CHM_NAME : ", RhChmName);
doc = RoboHelp.openProject (RhProjName, 1);
var sslmngr = RoboHelp.project.SSLManager;
for(var i = 1; i<=sslmngr.count; i++){
var ssl = sslmngr.item(i);
if(ssl.name == 'Microsoft HTML Help') {
    // Set the output location and file name
    ssl.setSpecificProperty("DestinationProjectName", RhChmName);
    if (doc.saveAll(true) ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned FALSE");
    if ( ssl.generate() ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned FALSE");
} else {
    // alert ("Found " + ssl.name + " dont do anything");
doc.saveAll(true);
RhLogFile.close();
RoboHelp.closeProject();
RoboHelp.quit();

How can I view and convert .264 files from my security cameras for use on my Mac and the web?

My security cams record in a .264 file format HD. I want to view, edit, etc on my Mac, what software will do that and are there any easy tips to do this? I'm new to Mac's so I'm not sure what is the best format to convert to? mp4? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance. I do love the Mac so far.

I have downloaded the trail....and it won't recognize my .264 files....not sure what the deal is? Here is a screen shot-they files are "grayed" out....and won't highlight. Do you see anything wrong? I'm pulling the files off of a Lorex DVR security system. LHD200

Each time I reopen a folder the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

Each time I reopen a folder in OS X 10.8.4 the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

I might add that all the files are aliases. There are 40 altogether and I am aware I could create 10 sub-folders so I only have 4 aliases in each subfolder which would mean I only have to rearrange 4 aliases each time but this is still not ideal. I have been using Macs since the 1980's and up to now files have always stayed where you put them unless you selected Arrange By in the Finder View Menu.

How can I stop an uninstalled application/process from using 101% of my CPU?

A couple months ago I asked a question about my fans running loudly- which opened my eyes to the ability to force quit processes with the activity monitor. The culprit was software for an external hard drive that I was no longer using, so I uninstalled it. Problem is that my fans are running high again, almost constantly, and the process that seems to be the culprit is the same one from the software I've uninstalled. When I search my computer for any lingering files, none come up. How can I stop an application I uninstalled from being a running process and overheating my computer?
15-inch, Mid 2010 model
2.66 GHz Intel i7
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory
Running OSX 10.8
screencaps of file search & activity monitor- the problematic process is WDSmartWareD

Does the wdsmartware come with an uninstaller? Or specific uninstall instructions? Most software packages come with one or the other.

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

How can I print mulitple different .ai files onto one page in Illustrator CS6?

How can I print mulitple different .ai files onto one page in Illustrator CS6? I have all of the files organized by Arrange Documents>Tile All in Grid and I would like to print the files in this format so that they can all be seen at once when printed out onto one page.
Some background is that I have 16 different cad drawings that I have converted and edited in illustrator. I'd like to basically make a contact sheet with all 16 drawings so that they can be reviewed on one sheet of paper after printing. But each drawing is in it's own unique file, and I have not figured out how to put them all onto one page for printing.

You can place them (linked) into a new Illustrator file and print from there.
The original files will need pdf compatability.

I have a power pc (g5) computer that I will soon be replacing with a current i5 or i7 mini. How do I transfer the Time Machine files from the internal hard drive on the G5 to an external drive that I will later use with the Mini?

I have a Power PC G5 computer that I will soon be replacing with a current i5 or i7 Mini. How do I transfer the Time Machine files from the internal hard drive on the G5 to an external drive that I will later use with the Mini?

Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
Get MacScan...

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/
But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.
Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
- displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
- not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
(It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

Hello,
To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?

How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?
I set it up to do this a couple years ago but I forgot exactly how I did it. Now I need to know how to stop it.
What version of iPhoto? v9.6
Of the OS? 10.10.1
How are you importing photos? The photos (camera roll) from my wife's iPhone 5 syncs via wifi to my iPhoto account on the the laptop. This happens when she logs on to the laptop. We do not use the same Apple ID.
Like I said, I did this a couple years ago. I totally forgot how I did it and what method (iTunes settings?, Mac settings?, iPhone setting?) I utilized.
I was over at the forum which deals with iPhoto but they feel it is an iCloud issue.

Understood.

I have downloaded an app which I think is to large to my IPAD as it has read loading for hours now. How do I stop it and clear it from the pad. I have tried the normal holding down the icon but nothing happens?

I have downloaded an app which I think is to large as it has jammed. The icon just reads loading. How can I stop it and clear it from my pad????

Have you tried a reset to see if it resumes after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
