How to make the finder window expand to full height AND width of my screen, but not "full screen mode".

The new green button on the finder window makes the screen go into full screen takeover mode - alt clicking this makes it 100% height of the screen.
How can I make this 100% width and height (just like it used to be in Mavericks)?
I have 2 x 27" monitors, so the "full screen takeover" mode is not right as I only want the finder window to be on one monitor whilst I work on another.
Any ideas?! Thank you!

Was about to post the same question.
Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite (about a month ago), this odd behavior has irked me.
Could it be that it only plagues those of us running dual displays? And therefore nobody else cares?

Hi. I have a 2008 macbook pro 15.4 inch. Not abused but the hinge is stiff and the lid/ screen is starting to de-laminate at the bottom edge. Any ideas on how to make the hinge work a little more freely and how to re-seal the screen to the lid?

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

How to make the parent window inactive when a child window is opened

hi everybody, i am chaitanya. i am working on a window based application. there are some action events in it. when an event occurs then a child frame is opened prompting the user to confirm for yes or no.
the problem i got is, when the child window is opened the parent window is also active. I dont want this to happen. please help me to fix this problem.
thank you all in advance, have a nice day.

Use a modal JDialog, or better still given the apps. requirement for input, a JOptionPane. The JOptionPane.showInputDialog() or JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog() methods seem well suited to the task.

How to make the main window's table size fixed?

Hi all,
when i have a single line item, the size of table in main window is getting reduced. Its size is varying according to number of line items. Is not is possible to keep the size of table fixed even you have single line item?
Regards,
Bipen

Hi,
You need to create a dummy template of fixed size and do not use lines for the main window table use the template. this will overlap with the window height.
If you want tro display something then pass the field based on some condition on end of the table

How to make the values of a combination graph (bar and line) visible always

The data with respect to bar and graph were only visible when i keep the mouse pointer on it.
i need to set the values visible always.

Hi Sameh Nassar,
Thanks for the input, am using the combination graph and i dont have this property added till now.
i tried adding them manually in source but it didn't work. so I assume that this property is good with pie chart alone.
please correct me if am wrong.
This is my combination graph structure.
    <dvt:comboGraph id="comboGraph1"
                      value="#{bindings.testVO1.graphModel}"

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. Names appeared on the phone screen but not MMI screen. Cannot dial by contact info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. When someone calls, only the number appears on the MMI screen, not their name or whether they called from their office/home etc..   Same with missed calls, dialed numbers etc.. Names appeared on the screen of the phone, but not on MMI screen. Cannot dial by searching contact and name info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones. Is this an Apple issue or Audi issue? Anyone with this problem? Help!

NIGHTMARE Finally Ends, after nearly two weeks.
After trying for over a week trying to get my replacement iPhone 4S to activate, I ended up driving 110+ miles to an Apple Store to get a second replacement, which had been specially shipped there for me. Popped in the SIM card, went through the setup and I finally have an iPhone 4S that works, at least for the time being.
Advice to others who find themselves in this situation:
     1)     If you get these messages (see original post), the phone is bad. Demand a replacement.
     2)     If the AppleCare tech advises that the Apple Agreement Administration team is investigating, you'll be waiting for a week or more for them to complete it. Demand a replacement immediately, don't let them put you off indefinitely.
After the initial phone call documented in my original post, I was in daily contact, phone & e-mail, with the AppleCare tech trying to figure out the problem, and we tried everything, from forced restore's to switching SIM cards, conferencing w/ AT&T, etc. It seems that this was a case of first impression to Apple, but if it wasn't, then the problem is not well documented or known by those who should know, and for that, the blame should be on Apple, not the AppleCare tech who worked tirelessly trying to figure out a solution--I'd send him a case of beer if I knew where to send it.

When told Firefox is already running and needs to be closed but not on screen, how do I get into it to close it?

Firefox was closed when used last as far as I know. Many times I try to go back to go on line and a box comes up to tell me Firefox is already in use and I must close it before opening it again. The only way I have found to go back on line is to reboot me computer.

Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch.<br />
You can send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with -no-remote, you need to drag links in a Firefox window in such cases.

I just installed the latest update on my iPhone 4 and now it's nothing but a white screen and my computer wont even connect it to my itunes when I plug it in the USB port. What happened?

I installed the latest update to my phone. Half way through it asked to connect to itunes. After updateing it had some type of error and wanted me to restore the phone. After restoring, another error box popped up and said that it could not be restored. Now it won't connect to itunes or my computer at all and is nothing but the black start up screen with the apple logo, or it's just a white screen. What happened?

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

Apple - Make Lion finder windows sticky?

I very much like the new Lion Mission Control interface for multiple desktops. And although I do wish versioning were a bit more tweakable, I also like the way that Lion restores my apps to their appropriate desktop/workspaces. I have a three-desktop setup that is very important to my workflow, and it's a huge improvement for me not to have to re-position all of the apps and open files each time I reboot my computer.
However, the one area where Lion really gets the fail whale in workspace administration is FINDER WINDOWS. Why can't Lion remember where my 5 standard Finder windows were positioned, and what folder and view they were opened to? Granted, Lion does re-open the same number of finder windows, and remembers their size. But instead of putting them back in the workspaces they were in when I shut down, Lion dumps all of the finder windows in Desktop 1.
At the app level, I'm aware you can right-click the Dock icon and make each app sticky to its proper desktop. But that doesn't work for Finder windows, because they're all the same app. If you assign Finder to "this desktop," it pulls all of the open Finder windows to "this desktop." I want the Finder windows that go with "research" to stay on my "research" desktop, and the ones that go with "writing" to stay on my "writing" desktop, and the general windows to stay on general Desktop 1.
Yeah, it only takes me a minute to move them back where they belong. But that minute pretty much pops the whole Mission Control balloon - the whole point is that your workspaces are right where you left them. "Almost" where I left it doesn't have nearly the same oomph. Moreover, not only do the Finder windows forget which desktop they go with, some of them - but not all of them - forget which folder they were opened to. I can't quite figure out the pattern, but possibly it's only the windows which were open to my iDisk that forget their folder? Because that window always comes back the same size, but opened to "Computer" instead of the research folder on my iDisk. (which is synced, so it's not a network issue). This happens on both of my computers, laptop (over wireless) and desktop (wired).
I know it's a nitpicky little complaint, but if you're going to leverage one of the main productivity advantages of Apple over Windows, you might as well go all the way. I switched 10 years ago but still have Windows for a few games, but I go MAD if I have to actually work in Windows because there are no workspaces. (Among other reasons.) Apple, please consider.

Problem with the Finder window in Chrome

Hello,
I have a problem with my finder window in Chrome.
Since the window isn't a separate window anymore, but stuck to the top of the webpage, my finder window is too big. I can't read the "Cancel" or "Send" (I have no idea what's supposed to be there in English but I assume it's something like "send" and "cancel") buttons. I have provided some images of the problem, even if I make the Chrome window as small as possible, the finder window still is too big for my screen. I can resize the finder window from lest to right, but not up or down, which is extremely irritating for me.
If anyone can help me how I can solve this problem.
Thanks!

I found the solution on another thread...Here it is.
"I was having the same problem. I found a way to make it smaller. First, I opened chrome and clicked the green button on the window to make chrome go into full screen. Then I tried to save a file to make the finder window open in chrome. When it opened in full screen I could see the bottom of the window so I resized it to make it a little smaller. Once I did this it remembered the size so now I can access the bottom buttons when I take it out of full screen mode. Hope this helps."
Worked like a charm!

How to auto close finder window after drag and drop?

In Tiger, I would file away items on my desktop my dragging them to the hard drive and then digging down to the appropriate folder. The finder window would then close automatically after dropping the file. Is there a setting in Snow Leopard that will enable similar functionality? Whenever I complete a drag and drop now the finder window just stays open, which isn't a huge issue, but I'd still like to change it. Thanks!

How to make the library visible IN AN EXTERNAL disk?

Hello.
Searched this forum (found about 25 identical questions and answers "how to make the library visible").
I turned mine and it is constantly visible now.
Before installing Lion made a bootable image.
When I connect the external HD, I see it in the Finder side bar, click on users>myname and the library folder doesn't show up.
Tried the 3 ways to make it visible but they all bring back and show the Lion's library on my MBP, not the one in the external HD.
Any ideas?
(BTW, I am just an "amateur user", not too heavy, so just, please take in consideration that if you explain to me slowly I will understand quicly)...
Thanks in advance.
Saul

Thank you Baltwo.
Don't I know you from CCC? (If judging from your answer I do, always hit the nail in the head)...
Yes, I guess I used the wrong terminology. Anyway, I did a bootable disk/image/clone, however it's called, with CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner), which BTW I am using for at least 3 years and saved several times my behind.
So, if I understood you right, you mean booting from my external HD and make the library visible (I don't remember if the clone was made after installing Lion or still while in Snow L, but will check).
I'll try and update here if it worked.
Thanks again and have a good evening.
Saul

What happened to the Finder Window?

Tonight I found that my Finder is not working the way it did the last time I looked. Before, when I clicked on the Finder icon in the dock, the Finder Window would open on the left side of the screen. Now, it opens as a window that looks more like a search windown and is spread across the screen. The folders and files the once were easy to find, as they were in simple hirarcial order, are limited and no longer useful.
I went back and set up the Finder with the files that I want displayed, but that did not change the Finder back to the vertical window on the left side of the screen showing the folders and files I want displayed.
To my knowledge, no software changes were made. I did just put in a new power adaptor cord and a new battery since the original is six years old.
Can anyone tell me how to restore the Finder Window?

To restore the sidebar, click the little lozenge-shaped grey button at the top right of the window.

When updating to the new iOS my ipod died and now I have nothing but a white screen that won't turn off and itunes now doesn't recognize it

When I was updating my ipod touch to the new iOS last night it died and now I have nothing but a white screen. iTunes no longer recongnizes the device and it won't turn off when I hold the power button or when I hold the power and home screen button.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
