How do move windows upwards offscreen?

I am using CS5 on XP, on a netbook. Certain windows, in this case the Save for Web Use window are too big for my small screen. I can't see the bottom of the window, but cannot reduce the window size sufficiently, or drag the window upwards, in order to do so. I know the windows keyboard controls (ALT+SPACE+M+cursor) to move windows offscreen, but these don't seem to work with the PS windows. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I have an old nano purchased in 2006. It indicated new models on the page.
Any other suggestions?

How to move windows from disconnected screen to active desktop?

Hi
I have a projector connected over the MiniDisplay-port on my Mac Mini, and a large Samsung screen connected over the Mini-DVI-port.
Whenever I turn off the projector, I can still see from the Display menu that the proejctor is still connected. How can I make OS X recognize that the display is in fact off?
The problem occurs when I open an application that was open on the projection scren (like iTunes’ movie plauyer window, or QuickTime): because it will reopen on the screen that is now turned off.
The only work-around I have found is to enable Spaces, and move the window over using spaces. But this is cumbersome and annoying.
Does anyone have a better solution? Thanks in advance,

I have already tried that, and the screen still appears as connected. I guess that is correct, as the cable still is connected. But that doesn’t really help when the monitor is off.
Other suggestions?

[SOLVED] gnome: how to move window to other monitor with hotkey?

now if I understand right gnome does not support a hotkey or option to move a window to another monitor by default (eg. after having been installed with
pacman -S gnome
so I think the solution is to use an alternate window manager (I think the default is metacity) so my question is which window manager should I use that has this feature (criteria are relatively lightweight, stable and easily set up)? also can anyone point me to instructions on how to install a non-standard window manager with a desktop environment?
thanks in advance and sorry for the newbie question.

I don't use gnome, but if you extend the desktop, don't you just have to move the window out of the view of the one screen to the other?
I'm using i3, a tiling window manager. it's very lightweight and easy to setup. just install the whole group "i3" together with the package "dmenu", edit ~/.xinitrc to run "exec i3" and start it using the startx command
you can use the arander to configure how the screens are aranged.
in i3 you can move a whole "desktop" to another screen, or just move programms to other "desktops", just read the manual on their website

How to move windows 8.1 from parallels to bootcamp?

I just bought a Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) a few days ago, and installed a windows 8.1 into it using parallels. Now I want to bootcamp my mac because I realize bootcamp play games better than parallels. So I want to ask is there a way to move my windows 8 from parallels to bootcamp

if you need the stuff from the parallels install then use a window backup program and make a backup and store it somewhere external
install windows in bootcamp and restore the backup you took of the parallels virtual machine

How to resize windows by pulling edges (like in Windows)

Hi, is there a way to pull windows wider (resize them) by pulling on the window edges rather than the lower-right corner? I tend to have a lot of Terminal windows, as well as Photoshop windows.
Windows XP Pro

Your profile says Windows XP pro, and doesn't say what Mac operating system you are running. Now most Mac operating systems do not let you pull the window edges to resize the windows. The only controls you'll get are in the corners.
There have been some hacks on certain operating systems to make the edges work, but like I say they are hacks, and may not work through an operating system update. The last time I saw such a hack work was way back in System 7.6 with Church Windows. There may be additional ones on Mac OS X that work that have been mentioned on:
http://www.resexcellence.com/
Of course if you run Windows in emulation, or virtualization environment, Windows applications themselves will still have their usual interface behavior:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
tells of several such options.
I'd add, I prefer the controls to remain on the corners, because otherwise you get confused how to move windows using their edges, or you might misdirect your cursor to the scrollbar and instead end up resizing the window when you don't want to.

Upgraded to 10, How to move from HDD to SSD? (Y-Series Laptop)

Howdy all, I have a Lenovo Y Series Laptop that came with a combo HDD/SSD. I assumed that Windows would be installed on the SSD, leaving the HDD for everything else. Turns out this isn't the case. The SSD is currently at 22.6g free of 24.9, and I'm honestly not sure if it's a totally separate drive, or if it's integrated into the HDD somehow.. I am trying to figure out how to move windows onto the SSD potion of the hard drive, but just want to make sure I'm not forgetting something. I assume I'll have to:Backup any files I want to keep (there are none, just applications I can get again after)Make a Windows 10 Boot Drive on a USBReformat SSDBoot from the USBPerform clean install of Windows 10 on SSD(possible step here of backing up lenovo software?)Reformat HDDRe-install all apps + programsAre there any Particular things that I need to make sure of for Windows 10?Am I forgetting anything?Is this a terrible idea?Is this totally not how my particular hard drive works?Is there a waaaay easier way to do this without possibly destroying everything? Lastly I want to make sure that the Lenovo software stays on the laptop, I assume it'll all go bye-bye if I do a clean install. I tried this once years ago and ended up making the Fn keys stop working, the fan and temperature control goofy, and I think it may even have been haunted.. Any advice or known disastrous things to avoid would be super helpful.

hi Trosh,
Welcome to the Forums.
Using the parts lookup page to check the hard drive specs on models 80FA002CUS and 80FA002DUS, those machines are configured with an SSHD (1TB HDD with a built-in 8GB SSD cache).
The 22.6 GB free of 24.9 GB that you're seing is likely the D:\ drive, which is a partition of the 1TB HDD (you can verify this by opening up Disk Management)
As for upgrading to Windows 10:
1. Ensure that you have a backup copy of your files before upgrading and create a recovery drive just in case.
2. Before you can clean install Windows 10, you will need to upgrade your current installation (e.g., Windows 8.1) first to Windows 10 and activate. Once this is done, you can proceed in doing a clean install. If you proceed in doing a clean install on first attempt, you may not be able to activate Windows.
You can read more in this article:
How to Activate and resolve common Product key issues in Windows 10
Note that doing a clean install will definitely remove all preloaded apps and drivers, thus, you will need to reinstall them back (some proprietary preloaded apps though doesn't have an Installer due to license limitation)
3. After upgrading Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, some preloaded apps and drivers may have limited functionality or may not work at all. Thus, you will need to update to the latest Windows 10 drivers (if available).
More info here:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht103611
4. In case you get issues with the upgrade, you can always refresh Windows 10 or go back to the previous Windows build or by doing a system recovery then re-upgrade.
- Refresh Windows 10
- Windows 10 - Go Back to Previous Win1dows
- Link to picture (select System Recovery)
5. If you're leaning towards an SSD upgrade (e.g., 256GB or 500GB), you will need to migrate the OS from the SSHD to the SSD and upgrade to Windows 10. If you have already originally upgraded though on the stock drive, you can clean install Windows on the new SSD.
More info before upgrading to Windows 10:
Windows 10 - Upgrade Installation
Hope the info above answers your questions.

Java windows slip under menu bar, how to move?

Hi, I have accidently dragged some Java windows beneath the (transparent) menu bar.
Safari browser windows do not slip under the menu bar, but those created by a Java application can slide beneath it, up to the edge of the screen...just far enough to make accessing their title bars impossible. I'm able to resize the Java windows by dragging their accessible edges but I am unable to click on their title bars in order to drag them back down beneath the menu bar.
How can I click upon title bars or resize these windows to lower them in desktop space, so their title bars are lower than the menu bar? I am currently unable to drag or click upon their obscured title bars to move these windows. Is there another way to move windows without clicking upon their title bars?
thanks

Automator - How do I: Mouse Click, Move Windows, and more

Hello,
I am attempting to create my own Automator programs and for a while I had some that worked nicely. I have recently been tweaking my iMac so that it can "think" on its own (by automator of course) and do things for me. However, I've run across a block with Mavericks (I believe it's due to Mavericks).
1. How can I get Automator to register a mouse click? "Watch me do" does not seem to want to work for me at all. I also would prefer if it would just be a registered mouse click, but not actually use the mouse (I know this is possible) so that if I'm doing something and it runs, it won't disturb my mouse and I can keep working.
2. How can I register a keyboard stroke? Same as above
3. How can I have automator move windows? I have two monitors and there are times when I may want it to move a window from one mintor to another
The following is a list of all the things I'm attempting to accomplish at the moment (with other things when I think of them) with automator (either through applications, folder actions, or ical actions):
1. Register a mouse click at a given area or on a given element in a safari page
2. Register a keyboard stroke in a given program (be able to focus on a program and then do the keystroke)
3. Move windows from one location to another
4. Full-screen and Un-full-screen iTunes at certain times of day
5. Download all purchased items on iTunes that aren't on the computer (sometimes iTunes doesn't download stuff if it was downloaded on my MacBook Pro first)
6. Automatically voice read reminders (that I've set in Reminders) each day at a given time (I can use loop to repeat it to make sure I hear it all)
I'll think of more of course, but the mouse click, keyboard stroke, and moving windows is the big thing I'm trying to figure out how to do. Can anyone help?
Also, I am not a computer tech. I am tinkering with this because it's fun and helpful, but an answer of "just use applescript" or "just use java" will likely just give me a headache. I know that it's going to be one of those codes, but I'm hoping someone has a "base" code that can be copied and pasted that's just a standard click that I can adjust for where I need to click and what process I need to click on.
If there is an Action Pack that includes a "Register Mouse Click" and/or "Register Keyboard Stroke", then that would work great, but the only action packs for automator I've seen that work with Mavericks is for photoshop.

You're asking for a lot in one post. It would be better to break your requests down a bit.
For example, to deal with mouse clicks, you can use the Automator Action Run Shell Script with this python script:
import sys
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
        theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
        CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclick(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
# Save current mouse position
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);
# Click the "Apple"
mouseclick(25, 5);
# 1 second delay
time.sleep(1);
# Restore mouse position
mousemove(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y))
It will look like this in Automator:
To drag something (i.e. a window, a file icon) from position 40,60 to 60,300:
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
           theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
           CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclickdn(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
def mouseclickup(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
def mousedrag(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDragged, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
# Save current mouse position
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);
# move mouse to upper left of screen
mouseclickdn(40, 60);
# drag icon to new location
mousedrag(60, 300);
# release mouse
mouseclickup(60, 300);
# necessary delay
time.sleep(1);
# return mouse to start positon
mouseclickdn(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y));

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

How to move new Windows 8 file swapfile.sys to another drive?

Windows 8 has a new swapping / paging file called swapfile.sys. It resides in %SystemDrive% directory, or C:\ for most users. It looks to be a swap file for Modern UI / Metro apps (source: https://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2012/10/28/windows-8-windows-server-2012-the-new-swap-file.aspx?Redirected=true).
I wanted to ask how this can be moved to other drives, the same way pagefile.sys etc can be.
After having just installed Windows 8, I am going through the process of moving files that get a lot of writes, like pagefile.sys and hiberfill.sys, to other mechanical drvies, instead of being on my SSD with it’s limited write life. There seems to be no method
of doing this for swapfile.sys.
After a search, only this tread turned up (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_cp-performance/to-move-swapfilesys-to-another-drive/bd1d5424-e410-4742-9668-e5060a021d40?tm=1356272384010), for the same question but it as never answered. All
that was explained, was how to disable both pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys. Also how to move pagefile.sys. The question about moving swapfile.sys was never answered. Hence why I am asking again. There also seems to be no registry settings for this file, that
I could find to change, to accomplish pointing it's location elsewhere.
Am not interested into getting into a debate about whether it is worth while moving files off SSD's to save on writes.
So if someone, ideally from Microsoft, can explain how to do, with this new swap file, what had been possible with the existing page file, for a good few Windows versions it would be much appreciated. Or how it can be disabled, without disabling the normal
pagefile setup, as I don't use and don't intend Modern UI apps.

I also think this could not be moved and I could not find any document about moving it, either.
Thanks.

How to move up the List Box for para. values in the "Edit Values" window?

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reprots 11.
I create 10 subreports, and each subreport contains a Parameters Field.
The 10 subreports are put in 10 footer sections in increasing order, i.e. subreport1, subreport2, subreport3, ..., subreport10.
When I use "Print Preview" to take a look at the whole report, CR prompts a "Edit Values" window for selecting parameter values.
Maybe because I created subreport3 & subreport4 after I completed other subreports, the List Box with the values required to select for subreport3 & subreport4 were located at the bottom of the "Edit Values" window.
How to move List Box with the values required to select for subreport3 & subreport4 up to the proper location (based on the order of subreports) in the "Edit Values" window?
Thank you in adavance.

Hi,
Yes, that is true. The subreport parameters are prompted in the order you insert the subreport.
The only way to fix this is to save subreports from 5 through 10 (Right-click subreport > select Save Subreport as) first.
So, now all you have is Subreports 1, 2 and 3. Go ahead and add the Subreports from 5 to 10 in order and the prompts should be in order too.

How to move all music files and pictures from Ipod nano to a new Windows computer that was not backed up on an external harddrive, only found on my ipod.

My windows lap top was recently destroyed to the point of no recovery.
All of my music and picture files are still located on my ipod and I plan on getting a new windows laptop
Is there anyway that I can transfer my (unpurchased) music files and pictures from my ipod nano to my new computer?
The pictures are more important that the music, so if only one is possible, I would prefer that
I appreciate any ones helpful comments

Copy the iTunes library from your backup as below:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Sync with the restored library.

Windows 7 in Wrong Partition-How to Move?

I just downloaded Windows 7 to my Mac-Mini,mid-2007 edition. (Parallels)
I have 2 partitions,HD 1 (39GB) ,which has OS-X 10.7.5, and a vacant partition,Recovery HD 2 (40GB).
Unfortunately,Windows 7 went into HD1 and has filled up that partition,sharing space with OS-X 10.7.5.
How can I move Windows 7 to Recovery HD2 or to a 64GB flash drive and leave OS-X 10.7.5 in HD1? And make Windows bootable from Recovery HD2 or said flash drive?
I still have Parallels dmg file on my desktop along with the Windows 7 iso file.
Thanks!

If you used Parallels to install Windows this has nothing to do with Boot Camp. Windows is just contained in a file not a partition. When you run Parallels you identify where to store the file.
You should probably visit the Prallels site and forums about this since it is their product you are asking about.
