How do you stop the help window from floating to the top?

Is there way to change the help window's behavior so that it acts like a normal window?
It takes so long to set up seeing the problem and the help at the same time, then go back to reading and then back again.
The floating to the top is a very unwellcome "Feature" and microsoft-like not Apple-like.

That depends on your POV. Some may prefer the default behaviour, because it doesn't allow the help window to be hidden by the working window.
Also, keep in mind that you can use the Minimise (yellow) button in the window's title bar.
However, if you really want to change the default floating window, there is a preference you can change with the defaults command:
$ defaults write com.apple.helpviewer NormalWindow -bool true
Alternatively, you can enable Help Viewer's developer mode
$ defaults write com.apple.helpviewer DevMode -bool true

How do you stop multiple Youtube videos from playing at the same time?

As of a few days ago, when I click on a youtube video, as the commercial begins to play, you can begin to hear multiple/different commercials playing at the same time. After the commercials, the same issue occurs with the main video--multiple videos are being played at the same time and are not in sync. I've updated all my plug ins and have tried the suggestion posted in the forum provided in the link below in which someone else has expressed the same issue, but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what can be done?
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/5Lnikma4UqM

Are you loading those videos as Flash or HTML5? It is possible to prevent videos from playing until you click something with Flashblock for Flash or Stop Tube HTML5 for HTML5. You can also stop the commercials with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
WTH.

How do you open a modal window from an Edge Animate button?

I am trying to create an animated group of buttons that open a Bootstrap 3 modal window when clicked. The animation (OAM file) is placed on the Bootstrap page.
This code is added to Animate "CREATION COMPLETE" for button creation and button click:
// Button 1
var btn1 = sym.createChildSymbol("HomeButton", "menu");
   // Convert/store a reference to the symbol as a string representing the element name of the symbol instance.
var btn1_e = btn1.getSymbolElementNode();
   // Now can use that element string and convert it to a DOM element to use with jQuery to call its css properties
   // and adjust whatever you'd like, including its position property
   sym.$(btn1_e).css({"position":"relative", "margin":"10"});
btn1.getVariable("setLabel")("Print Work");
btn1.getVariable("setDescription")("Examples of Telex advertisement");
btn1.$("MyImageBox").css("background" , "url(images/telexads_full269x151.jpg) no-repeat");
btn1.getSymbolElement().click(function() {
          console.log("button 1 was clicked");
document.getElementById("myModal");
$('#myModal').modal('show');
The div for the modal is on the main HTML page. I want to have the modal open a larger image of the button. Basically a lightbox for the Edge Animate stage, but it has to access the div on the parent HTML document (not the EdgeAnimate.html).
Here is the error from the Chrome Javascript console:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'modal' portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
(anonymous function)portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
f.event.dispatchjquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
h.handle.i
I've tried Edge Commons Spotlight, but that doesn't open on the page correctly; it puts the image at the bottom of the main page.
Any ideas? Thanks

How do you stop your Apple ID from popping up?

I have a IPhone 5 and every time I switch my phone on
it always prompt me to enter my password etc I have
tried to reboot my iPhone, I've tried resetting it, I even tried switching
off my mobile data and it work but the moment I switched it
back on it prompts me to enter my password again. Please
tell me how stop this it's annoying me.

Hello Kane_33,
It sounds like you keep being prompted to enter your iCloud password every time you turn on your iPhone. I would start by signing out of your iCloud account in Settings > iCloud. Then close all the running apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phon, sign back in and restest the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

How Do You Debug Oracle Report Calls From Forms On The App Server?

I am working on a system which uses oracle forms and reports 10g.
In our system we call, we are calling oracle reports from oracle forms. How do we debug the form code when the form and report both are running on the application server in production.
To my knowledge, this can not be done when the form is running locally since there is only OC4J forms services locally.
I understand one views error messages through the jinitiator console but how does one turn on this facility? How do you determine what line the error occurred?
I am looking for step by step instructions as answer to this issue.
Please be specific. Please write in good English.

Good afternoon,
If you have the developer suite installed on your PC, run the report from your form and then follow this tree from the start button on your PC:
Developer Suite Home =>
Reports Developer =>
Oracle Application Server Report Services =>
Reports Queue Manager
Select View => Past Jobs and then find your report in the list, double-click the report entry and you'll see the error message that was generated by the Report Server when you tried to run the report.
Good luck,
Don.

How does one stop Safari for Windows from auto resetting itself?

Safari for Windows running on XP Pro SP2 on a Dell Latitude D520
gets its settings reset automatically somehow. Also, the saved
userids/passwords randomly get "lost". These behaviors occur whether the
system is left running (with Safari terminated) then Safari is
started or when the the system is put in sleep mode (with Safari
terminated) and Safari is started after waking the system or when
the system is put into hibernate state (with Safari terminated) and then
Safari is started when the system is woken from hibernation. The
resetting and lost UIDs/PWDs is a random occurrence; it may, or may
not, occur after any one of the three use cases described above.
This behavior is becoming very annoying and will cause me to dump
Safari for Windows as my patience wears thin.
Any known solutions or suggestions will be greatly, and gratefully, appreciated.

[[How to fix preferences that won't save]] may help

What is, how to fix, stop, small popup window from 'plugin-container.exe' with 3 digit number that won't stop re-appearing???

I get very small windows popping up on the screen on top of anything else I'm doing regardless of what apps I'm running or not running. If I R-click on the icon in the task bar, it's identified as "plugin-container.exe"
The window doesn't say why it's there, but only displays a 3 digit number (for example the on on the screen now says 587) and allows only the usual X to close, or an 'OK' button to close. But a short time later it pops up again.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit MS Security Essentials and Firefox, though it will pop up even if I just booted and haven't started Firefox yet.
It's really (really really) annoying. How can I fix it or disable it or whatever it takes to make it STOP.
Perhaps if I had some idea what it was I could attack it that way, but I haven't a clue. BTW, I've cleaned the registry, and done full scan's for virus and turned up nada.
Thanks.
D.

As per the web site:
There will be no update to Waterfox 25.0 as a bug causes Adobe Flash to crash on 64-Bit Windows 7 systems. Bug here. Although Firefox 25.0.1 is now available and we could build it, there would be no point of releasing a new version of Waterfox for only two weeks.
I mostly only use Waterfox and had no problem in the past. I suspect a flash problem may be at the root of my problem however.
As stated, I've performed (full) virus scans with MS Security Essentials. Also with Housecall, and also with HiJackThis. No problems detected.

How do you open raw files (NEF from Nikon) in the edit workspace on Elements 8

how do I get raw NEF files (from Nikon) to open in the edit workspace of elements 8? I have windows 7 , and when I try to open NEF raw files from the viewer, it says cannot recognize the file type.
Thanks!

What is your camera model? Every camera has its own raw format and the raw converter must be updated to work with it. If your camera model was new in the past couple of years PSE 8 won't be able to open those files directly.

Stop the results window from showing at the end

This may seem like an odd request, but is it possible to stop the final results window coming up at the end of the test run? I still need all the results handling mechanism working because results are logged to a database and I use the MainSequenceResults property. However I don't need the actual TestStand results. I'm happy to modify the process model but can't find the right place.
Thanks,
Ronnie
TestStand 4.2.1, LabVIEW 2009, LabWindows/CVI 2009
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Ronnie,
Sorry, I have no answer on this. But i am forced with the same issue. I my case i need it !!!
When i did some tests trying to switch from TS 4.0 to 4.2. I realized that my (Xml)Results in
Editor and OperaterInterface are missed ! (Internet-Explorer) Control is missing the result's file.
I am using an old TS2.0 derivation of the ProcessModel which has been only optimized over ther years.
There where no Problems on 3.x and 4.0, 4.1.1
I have compared my model with the model shipped with TS 4.2, but i found no major difference.
Unfortunately I had no time and money to spend more time on this issue. I put it off to next year topic list.
So i am very courious on the anwers on your thread
Greetings

How do you prevent MS-DOS window from appearing during Runtime.exec()?

The question below was attached to the answer for Question of the Week No. 21. I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know the answer? Put another way does anyone know how javaw does it?
Fri Dec 18 09:59:52 PST 1998
rkarasek
On Windows NT 4.0, how can I prevent CreateProcess()
from creating a cmd.exe window when using javaw and
Runtime.exec()? No such cmd.exe window is created if
instead I run "java" from the command line.
I have a C++ server named "foo", and have created
a Java applcation with Swing GUI named "foo.java".
This GUI captures configuration information and
then uses Runtime.exec() to start the C++ app, with
a socket established between the Java app and C++
app for later communication.
This is all working fine, and the Java application
and GUI working as expected. When I run "java foo"
from either the NT command shell (cmd.exe) or MKS
Korn shell (sh.exe) the Java application/GUI starts,
and when it calls Runtime.exec() my C++ process is
started as what appears to be a child process of the
"java" process, that is, no cmd.exe window is created
during the Runtime.exec("foo.exe") call.
However, when running the same Java application from
a shortcut on the desktop via "javaw", when I invoke
Runtime.exec() a cmd.exe window is created before my
C++ server is started. While things are running
ok and my Java app can still communicate with my
C++ server, is there anyway I can prevent this
cmd.exe window from being created, and instead, have
my C++ server run as a child process of javaw (or
an independent process without a cmd.exe)?

cmd always opens a dos window - use another console interpreter instead or just call the programm directly.
i.e.
Runetime.exec("c:\\myprogram.exe");
OR
The following demonstrates executing a command without bringing up a popup. import java.io.*;
public class Test {
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
    String[] command = {
      "C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe", "/y", "/c",
      "dir"};
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
    InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
      System.out.println(line);
}However....
According to bug number 4244515 in Sun's Bug Parade (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4244515.html), javaw doesn't always work without bringing up new window.

How do we stop an extra window from opening when we use openDoc in 3.1?

We have migrated content from XI r2 to 3.1 and when we use the opendoc/openDocument.jsp, it works but is also opening a blank browser window. Any idea how to prevent this? We've tested on 3 different versions of IE (6, 7 and 8). It doesn't appear to be affected by user preference settings in InfoView and doesn't seem to matter if the new parameter is part of the URL. Here's a sample URL:
http://[server name]:[port]/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sPath=[ReportsByRole],[Shared]&sDocName=TrendedSupplyIndex+Report
We get the same result if we're using Crystal, Webi or Xcelsius and we get the same result if we use the wizard and build the connection on a Webi report so it's using the opendocument.jsp file that's in AnalyticalReporting\opendoc

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. We did try adding the window.close to the Tomcat55\webapps\OpenDocument\opendoc\isApplication.jsp file and that resolved the issue. However, we eventually figured out that we could get by without the customization by using different parameters in the report links.
This example works for Xcelsius (to Xcelsius, Webi)- it has to have the appKind and isApplication parameter:
/AnalyticalReporting/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?appKind=InfoView&isApplication=true&sPath=[ReportsByRole],[SHARED]&sDocName=DailyProductivityTool&lsSAU=406000&lsSFacility=Fa&lsSCompany=No
This example works for Crystal (to Crystal):
"../OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=rpt&sPath=[Communications],[ReportLibrary]&sDocName=ReportProfile&sWindow=New&lsSReportID=" & {@ReportID}
This example works for Webi (to Webi):
="<a href=../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=Ac20j.bpit1IrTJ5MYi6dvw&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sWindow=New&NAII=Y&lsSPleaseentervalueforFiscalYear(YYYY)="[var_Year]"&lsSPleaseentervalueforStartFiscalMonth(MM)="[var_Start Month]"&lsSPleaseentervalueforStopFiscalMonth(MM)="[var_Stop Month]"&lsMSelectoneormoreAccountingUnit(s)="[var_CoEntAcctUnit]" title=\"Departmental Responsibility Summary\" href=\"#\" style=\"text-decoration:none; color:blue;\">"[var_Co]"-"[Account Unit]+"</a>"

How do you stop the help window from floating to the top?
