HT2474 how to minimize all windows in one entry

How do i Minimize all open windows at the same time.
(minimize them into the dock)

Hi there,
Actually it doesn't!
I'm on latest OSX - F11 lowers the volume!
However, I think you have assigned your F keys as standard function keys but even so, if you press F11 or fn + F11, you do not minimise the windows - you just spread them away. As soon as you open an app, all the screens come back!
What the original poster's question is "Is there a way of minimising ALL the windows at the same time onto the dock?"
Your method doesn't do that because if you look closely, the windows are at the top and on the side AND NOT IN THE DOCK.

  • Minimize all windows at once?

    I've got the Browser, Viewer, Canvas and Timeline windows open in the standard arrangement, and want to minimize them all so I can work on something else for a minute. I know how to minimize each window one at a time, but is there some way I can minimize them all with one command?

    Cmd-H will hide the app. Cmd-tab will toggle between open apps.

  • How to delete all mails with one klick?

    It's annoying to delete every single mail.
    How to delete all mails with one klick, like in the paperbasket?
    Thanks

    If the emails have been previously deleted (I.e. in the trash folder), tap Edit at the top of the list. You should see a delete all button at the bottom. If the messages are in a standard folder, they need to be handled one at a time.

  • Generic code to minimize all windows in a form

    I want to write a procedure to minimize all windows in a form. This procedure will be called from a menu item.
    This can be done by using SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY built-in by hardcoding window names in the form and setting the window state to MINIMIZE.
    The requirement is, the code should be generic. So that, if it is called form the menu item, it will do minimizing of all windows in the current form.
    Hope no form built-ins are available to get the list of window names in a form.
    The requirement can be done by using FORMS The. I doubt it will not work for three tier architecture. Any alternate ways to get a solution?

    You can loop through all blocks and items and collect the used window names.

  • What is the mouse gesture to minimize all windows?

    I am having trouble understanding the mouse gesture that minimizes all windows back into the dock. I keep on doing something which causes this to happen and I cannot figure out or find anywhere what this gesture is.

    Do you mean ctrl-clicking the Composite Channel icon in the Channels Panel?

  • Minimize all windows

    is there a quick way to minimize all windows on OS X 10.6.6? I am aware of the function to hide all windows in a given app e.g safari, but it would be good to hide all windows at once, so I can get to the desktop.

    Four finger swipe with upward motion or fn - F11 is the same thing.
    See your -->System Preferences-->Trackpad for options.

  • How to make finder to open all windows in one?

    Hi,
    As you all know, in the Finder, if you open any folder, it opens that folder in a new finder window. I'm very tidy and have many files in many others in many others in many others,,, at the end of the day, I'm stuck with like 10 finder windows to close one by one. I wanted to know how I could set my finder to open everything in the same window, please advise.
    Thank you so much in advance.

    You can also use the Option key productively.
    While in Finder...
    If you hold the Option key down while clicking the Close button for a Finder window (such as a folder's window), all Finder windows will be closed. This works within most programs, too.
    If you hold down the Option key while opening a folder that's nested inside another folder, the enclosing folder will be closed as the one clicked on is opened. This is a handy way to keep things neat as you step down into a hierarchical nest of folders.
    If you are in Program A and hold down the Option key while clicking in a window for Program B, you will switch to Program B and all windows for Program A will be hidden. This works with Finder, too, whether Finder is Program A or Program B in that sequence.
    If you hold down Option-Command while clicking in the window of another program, all windows for all other running programs will be closed. Exception - although this will also close Finder windows, it won't blank the Desktop.

  • How to get all JFrames in one window.

    I have a JFrame with menu system. When the user opens a file using the menus and filechoosers,another JFrame is called wherein the required output is displayed. If another file is chosen,the data of the previous file is not cleared from the runtime memory. What additional statement is needed to debug this program?
    Also on clicking the second menu and the menuitems therein,each JFrame instance is created with the required outputs. How to make all these JFrame instances in a single window? I tried the JDesktopPane but with no success.

    JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
    JMenuBar jmb = new JMenuBar();
    JMenu jm1 = new JMenu("File");
    JMenu jm2 = new JMenu("Plot");
    JMenuItem jmi1 = new JMenuItem("Open Alt+O",new ImageIcon("Open.gif"));

    JMenuItem jmi3 = new JMenuItem("Graph");
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
         if (ae.getSource()==jmi1){
              int result = jfc.showOpenDialog(null);

                        while (l < raf.length()){
                             String str = raf.readLine().toString();
                             l = raf.getFilePointer();
                   jm2.setEnabled(true);
                   frame("Frame");
                   raf.close();
              }catch (Exception e){
                   System.out.println("Exception caught is "+e.toString());
         }else if (result == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION){

  • HT2307 How can you shut off the option command click shortcut that minimizes all windows?

    I can't find a place to turn off the option click shortcut that minimizes the last window and option command click that minimizes all of the other windows. Is there a way to do this? They don't show up (or I can't find them) in the Dock Preferences or the Keyboard Shortcuts.

    I use Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign and that's the zoom shortcut keys with space. If I use another program on my second monitor and go back to that and want to zoom in it minimizes everything else.
    Why reply if you don't know?

  • Can't minimize all windows with alt, c, M

    Is this option, command and letter M?  It doesn't do anything.  What am I doing wrong?

    As far as I know there is no global minimize command that will affect all open windows for all programs, all at the same time.
    Is it possible that the person at the Apple Store was showing that a bunch of open windows for folders, i.e. Finder windows, could all be minimized at once? Since Finder is considered a program for things like this, then Command-Option-M will minimize all open folder windows (provided Finder is the active app) simultaneously.
    Hiding windows is a different thing.
    When a program's windows are hidden, they seem to disappear but are not minimized to the Dock. The basic command for this is Command-H. Pressing that combo will hide the windows for the current active app and switch active status to the next open app.
    The Option key and clicking can be used to do this. For example, with one or more windows open in TextEdit, Option-click on the Desktop - all of TextEdit's windows will disappear (get hidden) and the active program will switch to Finder.
    HIdden windows can be made to re-appear by clicking the icon for the program in the Dock, thus switching the 'active' status to that program.
    You can hide all windows except for a chosen active program in one action - with that program frontmost (active), press Command-Option-H. You can accomplish the same effect by holding down Command-Option and clicking in a window for the app whose windows you want to remain visible - windows for all other open programs will be hidden.

  • Multiple devices on same account - how to transfer ALL files in one place?

    Hi,
    I am using my Apple ID on 5 apple devices, incl. 2 laptops and Mac. Need to migrate all files to one computer for syncing with iPhone and cut out some devices, but...
    Question 1:  How I can move ALL my music files from old MB Pro (runs Mac OS X 10.5.8) with iTunes 10 to Mac (runs Mac OS X 10.9.2) with iTunes 11.1.5?
    Note, this includes songs purchased outside of iTunes and burnt from CDs. Is it possible to somehow easily identify the songs that are missing on Mac and copy just them from the old computer, but without manually comparing? For now for whatever reason Mac only has 401 songs vs my old MB Pro has 1670+ songs. So, please suggest how to make the import on the missing songs to Mac as efficient as possible.
    Question 2: How do I deauthorize the device once I copy my old music to Mac? Currently only see the button "Deathorize All" in iTunes on Mac. What if I want to choose which computers I still want to be able to stay on the same Apple ID in iTunes?
    Thanks a lot!!

    Decide which Mac is your primary. On the Mac that is not the primary - create a folder on the desktop - drag all the tunes from iTunes into that folder - copy that folder to an ext HD or a memory stick.
    Plug into the primary Mac and tell iTunes to import all the tunes from the folder.
    iTunes has good sort options so it won't take long to get rid of the duplicates using the Show Duplicates from the View dropdown menu.
    An alternative would be to check at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ and see if there is a script that will take care of what you want.

  • How to delete all HU in one storage type

    Dear experts I did use the /SCWM/ISU for uploading of the stock but now I need to change something in the structure of the storage bins.
    I cannot change anything, because the bins are having HU already. Could someone give me a tipp how I can delete all HUs from one specific storage type?
    Thanks in advance
    BR
    Denis

    Hi Denis,
    If the HUs are empty then the above solutions as Pet and Ifran mentioned should work for you.  Else, if you have stock in the HUs then you need to scrap the stock, you can do this using /n/scwm/adgi look up the HUs then scrap them.  This will empty the bins.
    Thanks,
