How to retrieve a window that is mostly out of the desktop view?

General:
I have a window that is only partially visible because it's in the upper right corner of my desktop. I haven't been able to retrieve it.
Detail:
I have an application that I launch frequently and use with no problem.
The application has a popup that is invoked by me. This popup window was at some point or another dragged to the upper most corner of my desktop so that the title bar is not even visible anymore. Because of this, i cannot drag and retrieve this window. This is my problem, this child window has been pretty much orphaned to this upper section and can't be pulled back to a usable region.
My desktop resolution is set to 1920x1200 and hitting F5 to show all apps only momentarily pulls it to the center of my desktop.
Uninstalling and re-installing this application has not helped.
Any ideas or suggestions?

This of course shouldn't happen - it shouldn't be possible to move the window above the screen.
Possible workaround:
Ensure that the rogue window is the frontmost in the application.
Open the AppleScript Editor, and paste the following into it:
tell application "XXXXX"
activate
set the bounds of window 1 to {4, 93, 800, 500}
end tell
Enter the name of the application as it appears on the application's icon where I have XXXXX
Press the 'run' button
or save the script as an application (and keep in case it happens again!)

How to eject a CD that does not show on the desktop

I have a CD in my superdrive but it doesn't show on the desktop so I can't drag it to eject. I tried shutting down, unplugging, then powering up again but that didn't work. Any ideas?

also check out Kappy's user tip:
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following: /usr/bin/drutil eject.
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above.
To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

I don't know of there is anyone than can fix this age old Apple problem. Does anyone know how to retrieve apps under an old Apple ID when the email used for that account no longer exists & I can't remember the password? After speaking with Apple Acct. Security, I got the security Q right but my birthday was wrong! They wanted the serial number from my phone that was 3 iPhones ago! Seriously??!!
Any updated way to work around this? No Apple people can correct it.
Thanks,

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

All of the data should be on your computer, simply sync it back.
If the update was done via iTunes on the computer, the first step in the process is a backup of the device.

You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

IPhoto has one (random) main photo for everything on top repeatedly with other appropriate photos behind it. How do I get off that one random photo so the real photos appear on top as it should be?

Backup your iPhoto library and hold down the option and command keys while launching iPhoto - hold until the first aid window appears and rebuild thumbnails - it may take a few tries

How to close browser window after user log out

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can close browser window after user logs out. The scenario is when user clicks a log out button I will invalidate user session and close the browser right away in the backing bean.
Your help would be appreciated.

Try run this and you'll see that it runs fine with no exceptions:
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
          out.println("ERROR: " + e);
%>It looks like that after I've closed the outputStream I can't do any more processing in the JSP. Even if I remove the setContentType and setHeader methods it still behaves this way.
I'm starting to think that there's no way around this...??

HT5824 How do retrieve my calendar for my iphone? All the events disappeared on my last sync.

How do retrieve my calendar for my iphone? All the events disappeared on my last sync.

to retrieve from where? If you synced with icloud all you need to do is go to settings- icloud- turn calendars on. After a minute your calendars should show up and if they do not you can try to turn off and then on again. If they still didn't show - they were never synced with icloud and then the first question to retrieve from where? comes back to us.

Hello there, movies989.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for issues with Apple ID security questions and contacting Apple Support:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Of particular use in your case:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Currently have access to a friends computer with CS3 installed.I am going to buy a desktop with Windows 8 and I also have a laptop with Windows 7. What version of Photoshop is currently available that will work on both the desktop and the laptop? Can I install the same copy of Photoshop on the both machines simultaneously?

You can either buy a CS6 perpetual license, or Creative Cloud subscription. Both will run on the two computers you mention. You are allowed two installation with either version, but they must be for the same user. There is a cheap as chips Photography deal that gives you Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10/month, and feature gap is ever widening between CS6 and CC
