I need help identifying and removing annoying gadget that shows all open windows and applications when I mouse over a corner.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Some time ago I installed a gadget (doesn't seem to be an item in my Applications folder) which, when I mouse-over the lower-left corner of my screen, brings up a screen showing reduced-size versions of all open application windows and Finder windows. I've tried to identify what it is, and where it is located, so I can remove it, but to no avail.
I'd really appreciate any help getting rid of this thing. Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Check the System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • I recently downloaded 2 movies in iTunes on my windows PC and movies will not play, they will open up to the main menu, mouse overs work as well as extra features.  However the main movies will not let you play.

    I recently downloaded 2 movies in iTunes on my windows PC and movies will not play, they will open up to the main menu, mouse overs work as well as extra features.  However the main movies will not let you play. On mouse over in itunes the 'play' buttion is not enabled, yet is however enabled on previously downloaded movies.

    For me I have follow several of the help articles. When I play the movie in iTunes the screen is black with no audio, the timer status says it is playing (although it does not work all the time). I am able to play and have audio on the extras. I tried to use just QuickTime to play the movie and that as well does not work. I have started iTunes in safe mode and when the movie would begin to play, iTunes crashes and I have to restart. I have tried fresh clean installs of iTunes as well as QuickTime with no luck.
    It looks to be a QuickTime problem however I cant verify that. Any help would be great.

  • Q: How do you sync all open windows and tabs?

    How do you sync all windows and tabs? And if this is not possible, how do you nominate which Windows' tabs are sync'd?
    Sincerely,
    Adam

    You don't have a hot-corner for that anymore.
    You use a gesture for that now. You can either 4-finger swipe down, or place the tips of your fingers in the center of your track pad.  Your fingers should be bunched up and touching each other.  To show all windows, expand your fingers, as if you were showing someone "5" on your fingers.

  • Can I save all open windows, and reload them later?

    Hi,
    I work on different projects using different applications.
    Say I am working on recording, and editing an audio. I have Quicktime open, finder(showing files) and GarageBand. Is there anyway I can save the current open windows, so at a later date I can just resume where I left off, rather then having to reopen the finder window, and the applications. It's almost liek I want a snapshot of what's open.
    Is there a 3rd party program that does this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the answer, but I would really like to close the apps. I may not return to the project for weeks. That's why I would love if a program could save the current open apps, so when I return to my project. I run this program and boom all of my Finders, and applications are restored the way I left them. It saves me time.

  • I need help in the way my Itunes Library shows on my Windows PC

    I am a novice. I liked the way Itunes sorted my Library which was by Artist, album, and the had the tracks in order. However, I did something and now I cannot get it to restore that way. I can get any one (like album) but then I canot get tracks in order ie it will do all the 1's and then all the two's etc... I just want it to be simple
    Thanks anyone

  • Find all open windows and close them

    Hi,
    I'm writing an application that creates a new thread. This thread loads an other application from the filesystem and invokes the main method.
    When the thread loads an application that opens a frame, my application can stop the thread, but the frame stays open.
    Is there a way that my application can detect if the thread has opened a frame and if there are opened frames that it can close them?

    Well, tht's an idea, but my problem is, that my thread can start any aplication by invoking it's main-method.
    That means that even my Thread doesn't know which and how many frames it has opened or at least I don't know how I could get a list of all openened frames :-(
    A little bit code:
    /*Class classToRun is given to the Thread at it's initalisation and already loaded
    by a custom ClassLoader, that loads any .class file from a given location*/
    classToRun.getMethod("main", new Class[]{String[].class}).invoke(null, new String[]);

  • Moving mouse pointer to menu dims window and shows all open windows at once

    when i'm in safari and i move my mouse pointer to the upper left corner of a window that is almost full screen, that window dims and a black bar appears in the middle of this window with a discription of it. as an example
    APPLE=SUPPORT-DISCUSSIONS-POST MESSAGE:NEW THREAD
    if i have 2 windows open one shows lower left and the other upper right and i have to click the mouse button on the window i was using to get it back and get the other behind it.
    is there a setting in preferances that causes this that i can change?

    This is what happens for one of the active corners for Exposé, if ("all windows") is the upper left corner. Take a look at "System preferences" , Dashboard & Exposé.

  • I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down

    I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. It was animated, 2D i believe. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down. I think there was some kind of animal in it, a giraffe maybe?

    Could you be thinking of Microsoft Home's "Fine Artist" for Macintosh, as shown in this Amazon.com listing?  This program was bundled with the Performa series of Macs during the mid-90s.

  • I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
    If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

  • MSI P67A-G43 (B3) - Need help identifying this postcode

    Need help identifying this postcode:
    CPU:i7-2600k
    Mobo:MSI P67A-G43 (B3)
    PSU: Corsair 750w
    GPU isn't the problem since I replaced it and still get this postcode. RAM isn't the problem since I've tried four different sticks one at a time in each slot and still get the postcode. Getting no live video from the GTX580 and no onboard video. I think either the mobo or the CPU is the problem, don't want to have to send both in for RMA so if anyone can help me identify the postcode that'd be great.

    Hey Ctrl
    Well I happen to have the same beep code on my motherboard (P67A-C43 B3), after trying different suggestions from the MSI forum users and MSI technical support I ended up RMA(ing) my motherboard.
    You can try resetting the CMOS, by flipping the battery and leaving it like that for 5 minutes and putting it back to its original side. I highly doubt it is your cpu. Like anybody in the forum might suggest, try different components which appears you already did. I doubt your corsair is faulty. CPU and motherboard are your best bet that are faulty, and i highly doubt that it is the CPU because for there to find another person (you) that had the same problem as me since last friday (RMA board yesterday, wednesday) I find it highly unlikely.

  • Need Help ASAP  my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait

    Need Help ASAP  my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait...
    I tried downloading updates like it said to but it still will not display the document.  How do I print the PDF file ASAP

    Can you give us a LOT more info?
    What email client? What version of Reader (I can only assume you even have Reader at this point)?
    Please wait? I'm sure it says more than that, right?
    Have you tried simply saving the PDF (it IS a PDF correct?) to your desktop and opening it from there?
    Did you get this form from the IRS or did it come from somewhere else? If the IRS again, what version of Reader?
    Help us help you.

  • Need help identifying controller information in hyperdraw

    Hello,
    Sorry if this is a dumb questions, but I'm in the middle of a project and need help ASAP. In one of my tracks (Real Guitar) there is some form of controller information present at the start of the track and I have no clue what it is! Is there a preference/key command that shows all data in hyperdraw, and then lets you select it (similar to the way the matrix editor works if you double click in the background, and then click on a specific note?)
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Jonathan,
    I use the method that Jim suggested. I have the "H" key programmed for autodefine. (I've also got another two keys programmed to simply turn hyperdraw on and off for the selected region(s)). Autodefine is very cool. If there are, say, 4 different controllers in the track, hitting H the first time will show you the lowest-numbered controller; hit it again and it shows you the next higher number controller, and so on. The controller number is displayed in the lower LH area of the hyperdraw display for each region.
    If a track contains controller information for multiple channels, you'll see two numeric values in the lower LH corner -- the controller number and MIDI channel for that controller, separated by a comma.
