Illustrator hides whenever I click in another window or app, any way to force it to stay on top?

Illustrator hides whenever I click in another window or app, I often will have safari open looking for ideas or tutorials, is there a way to make it stay available even if I click something else? Right now if I click in another app, I then have to go back to the dock, then click on illustrartor again to bring it back up on the desktop, it is very annoying.

Thanks for the reply. I have been trying to figure this out for like a month, of course as soon as I ask the question, I find the answer in another post. Turns out I just had to change the window view. Found it looking for a way to move the program to another screen.

On a large monitor, the bookmarks toolbar is opening outside of the Firefox window itself - is there any way to force it to stay inside?

Recently I installed Windows 7 on my computer, along with a device called a Triplehead2Go, which spoofs the operating system into thinking that the computer has one monitor attached (when it really has three). When the Firefox window is relatively small on the desktop and with excess space to the right, the bookmarks toolbar opens to the right (and extends outside of the window). This creates a problem for me, as the monitor bezels get in the way of navigation. When the Firefox window is all the way to the right of the desktop, the bookmarks toolbar opens inside of the window (as there is not enough space to the right for it).
Is there any way to force this menu to stay within its boundaries?

The screen dimensions are "right," but I don't want it to use up any more space on-screen than is in the window.

Whenever I click in a window a new window opens up, Can anyone help please?

I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I wanted to use verizon hotspot wifi with my ipad (it searaches for hotspots when ur on the go) but verizon states not compatible with operating system. States that it needs windows 7, Vista, or windows XP. Any ways around this? Any ideas?

Thank you everyone for reaching out and apologize for being unclear. Let me rephrase. There is NO MiFi.
I have an ipad3 and a PC
I am trying to connect the iPad3 to the PC for HotSpotting reason (the ability to use the internet on the PC)
Turning on HOT SPOT on the Apple ipad works GREAT when using it through WI-Fi and through Blue Tooth. But connecting it directly through the included iPad 3 USB Cable to the USB side of the PC does NOT work. I tried several PCs, and several Cables. Any other ideas

When clicking on another window on photo booth...

When I make a video on photo booth or a recording or whatever and i am doing the video so like i am talking in the video. And say I want to get a song on youtube once I click out of the photo booth window (not meaning x out of photo booth just going to another window) the movie stops.

... once I click ... another window) the movie stops.
That is how Photo Booth works. It only records while it is the "active" window.
Do you have a question?

The active browser window that I use is constantly de-activating and I have to click on the window in order to navigate, type or do anything. It behaves as if I have clicked on another window to use even if it is the only window I have open.

Seems as if there is a set amount of time I have to use a browser window and when that time is up, I have to click on the window to use it again. Very aggravating. May not be a firefox issue, but I can't pin it down.

Hi username availabl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If windows and menus on your computer are unexpectedly "losing focus" every few seconds, there are a few steps that can help isolate or resolve the issue.
First, try booting your computer into safe mode:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
If things are working normally in safe mode, this usually means OS X is fine, and the issue is caused by conflicting software in your user account.
Next, see if the issue occurs in a new user account. The steps in this article also apply to creating a new user in Mavericks:
OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
If the issue persists in safe mode and a new user, I would recommend reinstalling Mavericks:
OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

I am not able to access ANSI character ALT 0165 Symbols font (infinity symbol) in Illustrator in CS (Windows 8.1) but I can access it in Illustrator 10 running on Windows XP. Any way to download the complete symbol character set under symbols to Illustrat

I need to use the infinity symbol in Illustrator but it is not available in Illustrator in CS5 running on Windows 8.1. It is available in Illustrator 10 running on Windows XP. Is there any way to access the INFINITY character under fonts in Illustrator in CS5 (Windows 8.1)?

Thank you for your suggestion. But I do not know how to access UNICODE. How do I download Unicode fonts?
Also I have a problem working copying illustrations from Illustrator launched from CS5. The illustration does not copy correctly into FrameMaker 10 with Windows 8.1. However, the illustration copies correctly if I use Illustrator 10 in my computer with Windows XP. How do I solve this?
When I called Adobe I was just told that they do not support CS5.

I lost text I entered in a text box when Firefox crashed and did not have Lazarus installed. I had clicked 'preview' before it crashed. Any way to get it back?

I figured it must be somewhere in my history. I've tried checking the caches but no luck. It must be somewhere, because I did click preview multiple times before it crashed and the text was there loaded on the webpage. Is there any way I can get that text back? It was a few hours' work.

I have a 1.5TB external hard drive and it shows iPhoto, iDVD, iTunes, etc., but it doesn't allow me to open any of them. How can I see what's in these icons if it won't open because it's in a Time Machine backup?
How old is this Time Machine backup? Is it current?
To be able to use applications and your iPhoto library and iTunes library you need to restore them from the Time Machine backup. To get your photos back, you need to restore the iPhoto Library from your Pictures folder, and to reinstall the iPhoto application.
This would have best been done, when you reinstalled the system using Setup assistant. http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html
Did the Tech Guy not use your Time Machine backup to restore your Mac?
Since you already set up your Mac, you can use the Migration Assistant from Applications > Utilities to restore your old files to a new user account.
http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
To reinstall iPhoto: Did iPhoto originally come preinstalled on your Mac, and what was the MacOS X version that came with your Mac? Or did you buy the iLife installer package?

Any way to force 4:3 display in Windows?

Not sure if this is the right area to post, but being display related it may.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to force 4:3 resolutions (for games) to be displayed as 4:3 in Windows...1024x768, 1280x1024, etc. It doesn't have to be pixel perfect, I just don't want the image to be stretched. I have a 20" 2.4GHz aluminum iMac with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB video running XP MCE.

Yes I am using Boot Camp. I'm not sure if Windows has an option to force 4:3 aspect on a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect monitor so I thought there may be a way via Boot Camp drivers or some other method, to force 4:3 to display in 4:3 with bars on each side if I chose to use a 4:3 resolution. The image is stretched to fit the screen if I choose any 4:3 resolutions for Windows' or game resolutions. Is Leopard, I can choose 4:3 resolutions and they work properly. Perhaps is more of an OS issue than the lack of physical screen controls.

WIndows hide whenever I change to another app

Hey guys, I don't know if I changed with a setting or something, but something strange is happening. When I click on an open application in the dock to start working on it, the rest of the open windows that are open hide themselves. If I click on them, they reappear, but the window I just clicked on hides itself as well.
So only one program can be seen at a time, anyone have an idea as to why this might be happening?

It is possible that a hidden "Dock" setting has become enabled - if so, it wouldn't have happened by accident because there is no GUI for that setting in OS X, however some third-party software could have been responsible.
If this behaviour only happens when switching applications via the "Dock", and not when using "Cmd-Tab" or the "Finder", etc., try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering these commands:<pre>defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app
osascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'</pre>

How do I get rid of Firefox Ads that are constantly popping up whenever I click to another website or in the same website?

The moment I open Firefox, a "Firefox" AD pops up. Anytime I navigate Facebook or it's apps a "Firefox" AD pops up! Anytime I go to any website, a "Firefox" AD pops up! They are genuine "Firefox" ADS, I've checked in your Troubleshoot guide! I can't do anything without these ads interrupting, slowing and stopping up my activity! I've also gone to the "Pop-Ups" page and made sure Firefox is not an "exception" to pop-ups!
Please remove them, it is harassment! I don't want anyone's ADS!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Illustrator crashing when I click File - New Windows 7

Hi,
Just installed Illustrator cs6 on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine.
This is whats happening when I go to File->New

Hi,
Thanks for the swift Reply. I have run as administrator and still no joy, I also tried opening an illustrator tester file on the desktop and same problem happened
David

When opening a new window, I sometimes get a black and white streaks in them. If you click on another window or try to scroll through the black window, it sometimes refreshes and looks normal.

It only happen on one of my computers. This computer actually has a faster processor, more RAM, and a better video card than my laptop which has no problems.

I solved my own problem. :-) I simply needed to change the "size" setting in my add-on "Theme Font & Size Changer" to a smaller number. Now the new windows don't require scrolling to see the entire content. But, I suppose for someone with serious vision problems, they might need to do the same thing, but then break out a magnifying glass to read everything in the window.....

Illustrator hides whenever I click in another window or app, any way to force it to stay on top?
