In a multiple monitor situation, how do I get popup windows to open on the same monitor as the parent application is displayed.

I have two monitors. I have an application that I run all day, displayed on my secondary monitor. Whenever a popup windows is launched form that application, it always opens on the primary monitor. Very annoying. Any way to get the popup to launch in on the same monitor as the parent application?

Did you solve this problem ?

How do I get my windows to move to my external monitor when connecting one?

I have the original Macbook and a 23" ACD. Ever since OS X 10.5, when I plug in my ACD, the windows stay on the Macbook screen. Before, in 10.4.x, the windows used to move over to the ACD, which is where the dock and menu bar are. How do I fix this?
I've noticed that if I close the Macbook lid, then they move. But it's annoying to have the computer go to sleep and then wake up again just to get this to work. Furthermore, it takes a long time because for some reason my Macbook tends to not wake up until like 20 seconds later after I close the lid (could this be from the bluetooth keyboard and wireless mouse causing extra lag time?)

Hi Ned,
Thank you for your help. Your 2nd solution led me straight to the correct solution which is:
slider_1._x = this._xmouse + groove_1._x;
I use the object variable this instead of groove_1 as I am calling it from the function:
groove_1.onMouseDown = function(){
slider_1._x = this._xmouse + groove_1._x;;
I also add the groove_1 left hand offset (groove_1._x;)
Thanks again for you help.

How can I get new windows to open On Top Of the current window, not Behind the current window?

Regarding the Options checkbox to "When I open a link in a new page, switch to it..." I already have that box checked, but still windows are opening behind my current window.

Hello MichaelDMiller60, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
How do I get "save and quit" back?
Thanks

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

"I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
How? Using what equipment/software?
"The DVD plays on the device on which it was recorded."
Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions.

ITunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
Click File
Scroll down to "show duplicates"
A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

How can I distinguish multiple tabs of the same site in the tab bar?

Hello,
I've been following some massive open online courses (MOOCs) and its been necessary to have several tabs open at the same time for the same site. I would like to be able to distinguish these tabs by being able to put a tag instead of the site url ('instructions', 'template', 'code', 'scratch', 'docs' etc. etc) and/or a colour code.
Does anyone know if and how this can be done?
Many thanks

This one colors tabs, but the author warns that it doesn't work with other tab-related extensions, so you probably need to keep searching for one that does everything you want:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/
If you don't find a do-it-all extension, you can modify the tab titles with a userscript that is specific to that website. This is because the tab displays the text designated in the page as its title.
You either could "hard code" the list of words for each of the pages, or you could have a script extract information from the page, for example, the first main heading, or some other predictable bit of data. The script then would insert your preferred wording as the title of the page and Firefox will show that on the tab.
To see how that appears, so you know whether it would be useful, you could do this experiment:
On a web page that has useless tab text, open the Web Console using command+alt+k (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+k). In the line at the bottom next to the caret, paste the following code and press Enter:
document.title="Magic!";
If you decide you want a script written for this, you could try the request forum on userscripts''.''org:
[http://userscripts.org/forums/2 Ideas and script requests - Userscripts.org]
Although some people offer small payments, that usually isn't necessary to motivate people to help.
Let me give you a brief warning about that site, though: over the past year, a lot of popular scripts were duplicated and reposted with additional code that hijacks your Facebook account. Be cautious when installing scripts, check the reviews, make sure there are no references to Facebook.

Making A Row Of Thumbnails The Same Size As The Screen Monitor No Matter What Montior You Use

I am making a website and am trying to get the row of thumbnails/cells (which contain 5 thumbnails across each set in a cell) to be the same length as the screen monitor so that you do not have to scroll horizontally across to see more cells/thumbnails in the table.
Here is the thing. When I first started making tables, I was making actual pixels to fit MY screen size, but then I found when I looked at the website on another computer the tables came out different sizes (because of different size monitors I assume). So, I changed the tables from pixels to 100% and that seemed to do the trick. Whatever computer I pulled the website up on, the tables extend perfectly across the monitor screen to its fullest extent and without having to scroll horizontally.
The next part of the website involved adding thumbnails of images. So I made a table 6 rows across by 5 columns down. And I put a thumbnail in each cell, so that 5 thumbnails went across the row. I also set the table width to 100% just like I previously did for my heading table. When I tested it on a laptop computer it seemed perfectly fine and the 5 cells in the row extended across exactly to the length of the monitor. But, then when I opened it up on a desktop computer, I had a problem. What you see is 4 of the columns on the monitor and then the fifth column is further to the right off the screen, which makes you have to move a horizontal scroll bar to see the fifth column. This table is also not flush with the heading table either obviously, although I have both set to 100%.
I don't know if my problem has to do with the table I made or the image sizes in Photoshop. In photoshop after I had scanned the image I went to "Image Size" and reduced the "document size" width to 1.5 cm to make the image come out a lot smaller. Should I be doing something different in Photoshop when changing the "Image Size"? Maybe saving it as a different measurement (choices are percent, inches, cm, mm, points, picas, columns)? Or, do I need to change something with my table/cells?
Anyone know?
Thanks.
P.S. I will post this in Dreamweaver and Photoshop, to get a little more help.

If I have to accept the fact that this table I made can't fit each person's monitor screen, then ok, but at least have it to where all the tables are flush with each other. If you take a look at the website URL I posted, every table I made for this page is set to 100%. No matter what computer I pull up the webpage, the heading tables and bottom copyright table come out to 100% of the screen size like it should. It is the tables I have for the pictures that extend pass this and make a horizontal scroll bar necessary and are thus not flush with the other tables. And,I figured out why. When I resized my images in Photoshop, I set the width of each thumbnail to 177 px. I also have 30 px padding on both the left and the right side of each cell (60 px total). So, calculating this we have: (177 px x 5 images across = 885 px) + (60 px padding x 5 cells across = 300 px) = 1185 px....an EXACT amount (which is MORE than my screen width) and OVERRIDES the 100% I set for the table. Therein lies the problem.
So, what I need to figure out is how to make either the cells or images adjust accordingly to fit the actual width of the monitor; 5 cells across = 20% each cell = 100% grand total across.
Follow me so far?
I know there has to be a way. I've seen other pages that can do it. I will keep trying and eventually figure it out.
Thanks for the help.
From http://www.awdsf.com/courseware/html/html2_tables.htm:
" A website that requires side scrolling is considered very un-professional."
And I couldn't agree more with this statement.

How do I get the data in the CSV file to be in the same order as the form?

When I merge my data from multiple form submissions into a csv file, the data is completely out of order, which makes it pretty much useles. How can I make it export the data in the same order? Also, the headers of each column or garbled. For example:
Depth (mm) shows in excel as Depth__mm__aqWhxx1nhpwx*3sgoBx9UQ
Lesion Location with check boxes: Face, Scalp, Trunk shows as each individual: Lesion_Location_1_15w4B5z9Kg2FKrkCPa6Wvg or Lesion_Location_3_15w4B5z9Kg2FKrkCPa6Wvg.
What I want is for the data produced to be in the same order as the form and with the same headers.
Also, I created several help texts that don't appear in the form.
I'd be happy to upload any of the files (form template, form pdf, csv file) if there is a way to.
I used Adobe Forms Central to create the forms in Acrobat XI Pro. I'm on a windows 7 computer.
Thank you for your help

Some of this is just the way it is with a PDF form created with FormsCentral. The fields get those names to ensure that they are unique, since the FormsCentral designer app does not allow yo to specify the field names directly. A fixt would be to create the form in Acrobat and you can give the fields any name you want. You can also change the field names in Acrobat after first removing the usage rights from the PDF by selecting: File > Save a Copy
and renaming the fields to what you want. Also remove the submit button it added. You can then upload the edited PDF to FormsCentral and Distribute it. It looks as though the order of the fields in the table are alphabetical, so it you rename your fields so they will be in the order you want when arranged alphabetically (e.g., A1_Patient_ID, A2_Biopsy_Age, etc.), that might be an approach to take. Also, if this is for human patient data, check for regulatory compliance of this system. FormsCentral is specifically not HIPAA compliant as stated in the license agreement.

I have a serious contacts redundancy problem. First I have multiple email account formats, e.g., 2011 MacOutlook, 2008 Entourage, 2007 Window Outlook, iPhone Exchange and these are all connected to the same account. The problem is I had up to 15 contact

I have a serious contacts redundancy problem.
First I have multiple email account formats,e.g., 2011 MacOutlook, 2008 Entourage, 2007 Window Outlook, iPhone Exchange and these are all connected to the same account. The problem is I had up to 15 contacts for the same person.
I deleted the Entourage contacts as that seemed to be the program that was causing the problems. When I synced this morning, now all my contacts are gone from every where.
How can I restore to my last back? If I restore, it will ask to restore to the back that was just made… which has no contacts?
Help would be greatly appreciated !!

Hi, I'd like to know how SAP CRM has been 'tailored' for the High Education sector? Is it basically the same product than the existing CRM or a totally different syste,? Where has it been implemented? Is there an existing document/presentation about it

Ged,
whilst generally I agree with you a question (or two) for clarification so we can be sure we're not comparing apples with oranges
I'm not familiar with O2's product lineup but given you're on Annex M is that a business package?
Are you on an Infinity residential or business package?
On the subject of the offshore support teams my experience from the other sife of the fence is that many, many of them are very technically orientated. The problem is that the ISPs they work for don't give them access to many of the tools that are needed (they need to raise internal requests to even get line checks done in some cases) and also they are very heavily scripted & monitored in what they do/say on a call.
Sounds like O2 are operating as a contact centre rather than as a call centre which is much more preferable from the customers point of view.
DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.
