IChat 4 (Leopard) Chat Window Location always the same

Anytime I get an incoming chat or if I start one, the chat window always appears in the same (annoying) place. If I rearrange the window, it doesn't stay for the next time. I never had this problem with Leopard on other Macs, and I don't know how to go about "fixing" this annoying quirk. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
iChat windows follow two sets of rules depending on whether they are incoming of outgoing Chats.
This applies to all forms.
Incoming chat invites are always in the same place.
Top Right for any Incoming Text chat.
Slightly lower for Audio chats.
Video Chats are always top centre of the screen.
As you can have more than one Text chat going On subsequent Invites stack down and slightly right on each one until you get to the edge of the Screen and then start left of the first and continue (much like opening multiple Documents)
Outgoing chats are simple.
It will always be in the place you left the last chat (if you dismissed the Window).
If you do not dismiss the window then subsequent windows do the same multiple Document thing.
Chax an iChat Add-On does allow some control over the windows but I am not sure about the specifics about Incoming windows.

Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
So here's my dilemma:
1. Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on the same "Fusion 5"?
2. Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
3. Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
OR
Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
"Unlimited Client License"
It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
One thing though ... when you mention: "you should make two virtual machines".
Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
"two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?

How to open the target location in the same window using tomahawk menu

Am using apache tomahawk menu component.
We have a mix of locations that are internal path and also external URL. However, we need to open the location in the same window.
We are using the
<t:jscookMenu layout="hbr" theme="ThemeIE" >
<t:navigationMenuItem id="nmi1" itemLabel="Menu1" action="welcome" />
<t:navigationMenuItem id="nmi1_1" itemLabel="Menu11" action="http://www.google.com/" target="_self" />
</t:jscookMenu>
The component open the external URL in a new window irrespective of the target location. Is there a way to override this behavior.
-Thanks

Check that there isn't a <BASE> element in the HEAD element.

Window.open() will open separated windows even using the same window name?

Hi, I have below two test html pages as below(could not find a way to insert a attachment, so paste the content below). The reproduce step is as below: (My environment is Win8.1 with IE11)
1. Open print_test.html page in IE, here we call page1.
2. Click "File -> New Session" menu from IE menu bar, which will open another new IE window which display another " print_test.html" page, here we call page 2.
3. Click "Print" hyper-link in page1, and a popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 3.
4. Click "Print" hyper-link in page2, and another popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 4.
However, the behavior above is totally different on my Win7 (64 bit) with IE 10, which is in step 4, when I click "Print" hyper-link in page2, instead of open a new popup window, the window for page 3 will be reused and counting will restart from
1.
I googled and know from MDN for window.open() and get below information to indicate that in my test pages, I use the same window name, so that the existed window with the same name will be reused is as expected, but however, why IE behave differently in
Win8.1 with IE 11? Why the existed window could not be reused anymore?
If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window.
The behavior in Win8.1 + IE 11 is similar with what Google Chrome does, and Chrome's explanation is that two separated window using separated processes which do no share information, so that even using the same window name. twp separated windows will
popup.. So I am confused here, IE 10 and IE 11 are both using multi-process mechanism right? I saw from the Windows Task Manager, when using "File -> New Session" to open another print_test.html page in step 2. both IE 10 and IE 11 are opening
4 iexplore.exe processes, two of them are 64 bit, and two of them are 32 bit. I can't see any configuration difference between these two envs, but why the behavior is so different?
Could anyone give some help and clarify here? Great thanks in advance.
Oh, btw, another colleague can reproduce the issue (open separated windows even using the same window name) in his Win7 64 bit with IE 10 env, but could not reproduce in his Win 32 bit with IE 10 env... Hope this information could also do help.

Hi,
please try in noAddons mode and with the IE Popup blocker turned off. Also ensure you are using the default IE Security zone settings. Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
To debug your scripts in IE11.
Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, check "Always record developer console messages".
start your test and display the developer tool console to display suppressed errors and warnings.
(I don't see where myWindow is assigned).
"If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window."
window.open has an optional 'replace' parameter...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms536651(v=vs.85).aspx
to reuses a tab or window
window.open({url},[name],[placement],[replace])
If possible can you please provide a publicly accessible link to your test pages as we need to inspect the response headers to monitor what is cached.
or
f12>Networking tab, click 'Start' button, then proceed with your test plan.
Regards.

Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer but unable to get bookmarks from old drives to new.

Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer, installed firefox however I have no idea in which file the old bookmarks are located. I still have the old files for firefox in the old drives.

Your "Firefox personal data", like bookmarks, are stored in your Profile folder in Firefox. See this support article about how to recover that data from that old hard drive and transfer it your your new Profile.

Opening an External Window which shares the same context.

Hi,
I have a requirement where <b>I need to open an external window which shares the same context</b>. (i.e, A window which belongs to the same application in a seperate browser)
If I use the following coding <b>it only opens a model window in the same browser</b>.
IWDWindowInfo winInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("NewWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(winInfo,false);
But if I use wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().CreateExternalWindow() <b>it could only accept the URL that opens a seperate application with different context</b>.
Please help me in this regard.

Hi Anbu,
Dont feel bad that i am asking you more questions than giving you answers.
if you just want to show content or let the user enter data or something you can use always popup modal/non modal window.
External window is used to refer to other website or other applications in otherwords referring other url.
So your workaround would be relaxing your requirement and redesign your application.
This is my view point.Probably some other expert sdn'ers might have better one you know.
Success !!
BTW- if you decided to follow nagarajan suggession then you have to use URL generator to generate the URL.Using static URL is depreciated and also wont work in your Customer places.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I cannot back up my i pad to my iTunes, but the error message is not always the same.

I cannot back up my i pad to my iTunes, but the error message is not always the same. I get everything from could not back up "because the iPad disconnected" to could not back up "because the iPad was not set up."
Here are things I tried that did not help:
1) I turned my iPad off then turned it back on.
2) I backed up my iPod touch to see what happened, and it went fine.
3) I tried a different cord to connect the computer to the iPad.
4) I updated my iPad
5) I updated my iTunes
Any other suggestions? Thanks!!

There are multiple places where these photos could be stored:
- a recent iCloud back up
- on your PC/Mac if you imported them
- Photostream if you used it
Unfortunately if the photos are not stored in any of these locations then they have been lost for good.
All the best

Dear Sir or Madam, I installed Window 8 on the same Notebook where a working version of DreamWeaver

Dear Sir or Madam, I installed Window 8 on the same Notebook where a working version of DreamWeaver was installed. After then, when I start DreamWeaver I receive the Message: Activation limit reached”. What can I do? Thank You for your answer. Ovidio

Before upgrading your Operating system, you have to de-activate and un-install the software.
As you have just un-installed the software, your receiving the above error, please contact Phone Support or Live Chat for reset activation.
However, you can install the Software on the third Computer by de-activating the Software from one of the older one and then install it on the new one so that you can avoid any error message while activating the Software.

I am receiving updates everyday for creative cloud, always the same updates (sometimes even two time

i am receiving updates everyday for creative cloud, always the same updates (sometimes even two times a day . Is there a way to stop that?

Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

Windows 7 and Windows 8 in the same computer

I have HP Pavilion HDX9300 with two hard discs. I have installed Windows 7 in och of them and Windows 8 in the other. Both W7 and W8 works when the disc is placed in one of the discplaces but not in the other.
If I want to change from W7 to W8 I thus have to change place for the hard disc. My desire is to change from W7 to W8 without changing places for the harddiscs. Is it possible? If so, how do I do?

I believe the second hard drive bay in the HDX9300 is not bootable. You need to load Windows 8 on the same hard drive as Windows 7 as a dual boot.
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/143380-how-to-dual-boot-windows-8-and-windows-7
You could then use the second drive as storage accessible to both operating systems.

IPhone 5s restored from 4s all but my photos and won't finish. Have tried reset and restore several times but always the same thing. Pat bottom of screen it shows downloading but no pictures transfer.

Have tried 4 times to reset, erase and restore but always the same result. Everything restores except my photos. When I go to photos at the bottom of the screen it says downloading but the pictures never transfer. Every time I turn my phone on it asks to continue restore but it never finishes. It won't let me upgrade to the latest iOS due to incomplete restoration.

How long has it been since you let the restore just happen? Sometimes photos are what takes the longest to bring back from an iCloud back up. I would recommend that you let it just keep restoring for about 2-3 days and see if more photos come back than what you're experiencing. Also make sure that you are connected to wifi as much as possible so that those photos can be downloaded faster. It is a waiting and being patient kind of thing. I did an iCloud restore from a backup that took 4 days to finish bringing down all my photos.
