Inspector and Library Window are always on top in Interface Builder

Hi,
Inspector and Library Window are always on top in Interface Builder. I use a small 13" macbook screen most of the time and I don't have a lot of room. Just wondering if I can disable this so I can have my work area hover over the library and inspector when I'm not using them.
Thanks

I still have not been able to figure this out. The best I could do is resize each of these windows to really small and maximize them when using them. But they're still always on top and this is really annoying.

Inspector and Library Windows Disappearing?

Hey everyone- hopefully someone can help me.
I have started working on a project that I am using lower thirds that I created in Motion. I haven't opened Motion in about a month or two but now a dead line is approaching and i need to get them done. I opened motion and I noticed that my library, inspector and file browser windows are not there. I clicked on the icon in the top right of my screen that should bring them up but nothing happens. I have searched every short cut to find how to bring them up but nothing. The time line button works fine- however why aren't the other windows coming up when i call for them? Is it possible that I have locked my window layout and if so is there a way to unlock it? Or is it an internal problem where i am going to have to reload Motion?
Hopefully this makes sense to someone,

Welcome to the discussions...
Quoting Mark Spencer:
If you find that your Utility Pane (the window that contains the File Browser, Library, and Inspector) is gone and you can’t get it back, trashing your preferences file is sure to bring it back.
To do so:
1) Quit Motion.
2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences
3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it
Restart Motion, and you should be back in business.

I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain 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.

Sometimes a Firefox window top bar goes weird, and the window controls at extreme top right disappear.

Sometimes, after its been going quite a long time. a Firefox window top bar goes weird, and the window controls at extreme top right disappear, making it impossible to resize or close the window. The only solution I have found is to individually move the tabs to a new window. The original (bad) one then disappears as soon as the final tab is shifted.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.

I recently did the 5.3 update to my Apple TV and now it is running sluggish and things keep freezing and then pictures are loading on top of each other. Then I did a hard reset today and now the WWDC app is gone. Anyone else having these issues?

I have been having problems with my atv 3 not transmitting/receiving 5.1 surround. Whether I stream from my computer or watch movies, I am getting no 5.1 audio. The atv won't even show the option for surround. I tried to restore and reset the device but it didn't help.
I haven't had any problems with missing apps or freezing or anything similar to what you are experiencing. This update has many bugs. Other threads have reported even more problems. Hopefully I can go back to the previous update.

When I click on firefox icon there's no window that opens but the tool bar and the url are at the top of the page???

I cannot get a window, check my email, go to any of my bookmarks, etc. I am forced to use Safari, but I need firefox for certain classes and websites.

Why are you using an old Firefox 4.0 beta 4 version (latest is [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html 4.0b6]) ?
Such version are meant for testing purposes by experienced users who know how to deal with issues and not for daily use.
You should stick with the official release (currently 3.6.10).<br />

I just installed the lastest update of Firefox and now the Firefox window is always on top of all other windows - what a pain! How can I fix this?

I looked at all of the options available to me and did not see where there is a link or anything saying "always on top." Is there such a thing somewhere and if so, where?

Well hells bells - I went to watch TV and came back and all is good. Is it magic? :) (Some days I just plain don't understand anything - I swear!)

Windows not showing. Page source and library windows open but not showing.

I select View --> Page Source and no window appears. Under the Window menu, the item Source: . . . shows but no window. If I close the main window then the item is ticked but still no actual window.
I have disable all extensions and plugins, safe mode, revert all preferences.
the same happens with Show all Bookmarks. This is why I posted this under bookmarks problems originally - see below.
I now find the same happens to downloads and Error console windows. No problems in Safari or MS Word (usually the worst performer)
Bookmarks are all present, but show all bookmarks produces no window, even though the window menu shows an item and I can select it.
Mac OS 10.6.8 FF 5.01 Show all bookmarks shows no window, even if I close the main window. Under window menu the 'Library' item is ticked but still nothing. I have restarted, and renamed places database. recently installed some of these addons

The one that solved it was my own last post, which does not have a Solved it.
I copied the FF profile folder from another login and started with that.
However. . . the problem is back. I installed extensions, NoScript and MyBookmarks and it seemed OK after that.
Then I installed Download Youtube videos + 3.3.51, then DownThemAll! 2.0.7, Google Shortcuts 2.1..6, ImTranslator, QuickWiki and Read It later. No Plugins ennabled.
when I disable all extensions then the windows for downloads, error console and 'open link in new window appear OK, but not the source or Library windows.
As before they are on the window menu but no way to make them visible.

[SOLVED] urxvt missing window decorations, always on top

Anyone know what might cause this problem? Occasionally, urxvt will open without a titlebar, it's immovable and always on top of other windows. Restarting X will typically fix the problem. I think the problem started after installing lilyterm, which also had the problem. Lilyterm has since been removed.

Thanks.
I've actually since reboot, so I can't actually confirm that this works, but I'll put a [SOLVED] up there until it happens again.

Why are my installed extentions on FF 5.01 suddenly not showing up in the add-ons window tab (to change preferences), even though the extentions (like Google toolbar and Awesome Screenshot) are visible on the FF interface?

My Google toolbar was working fine earlier this morning. A few hours later, the search window stopped opening new tabs. I did some snooping and discovered that none of my extension add-ons were showing up in the add-ons tab. However, the appearance and plug-ins are still listed. When I click on the Extensions tab there is just a small box that says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed." However, my Google toolbar, Add Blocker, and Awesome Screenshot etc. is still visible in the FF interface. When I try to uninstall the Google toolbar using the options button on the toolbar itself, nothing happens. What's up?

Same solution as dplavin. Thanks!
Afterwords there were some changes in Add-ons that were enabled/disabled that then had to be straightened out.
I disabled Test Pilot which was in the process of testing thinking that it might have had something to do with the problem. I have not updated to the latest version of 5.0 because one favorite Add-on [Firegestures] is supposed to be incompatible.

URL and Google windows are missing from the window display. What is going on?

Running Firefox 18.0 on a MacBookPro recently purchased. The windows are suddenly missing from the Firefox display window.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Can I arrange my bookmarks so that the folders and sub-folders are at the top of the list like in Explorer?

I transferred all of my "Favorites" from Explorer. I have a lot of folders and sub-folders and I would like these to be listed at the top (as in Explorer) with individual bookmarks below. Right now the folders and individual bookmarks are mixed together.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
If you '''Sort by Name''' in the Bookmarks Sidebar, that is how Firefox sorts bookmarks. If you have any '''''Separators''''', the Sort will stop there and you'll have to Sort from there down separately.

In PS6 Navigator and Layers windows are locked together. How do I unlock them?

Whenever I open the Navigator and Layers windows in PS6, they are locked together side by side.
Does anyone know how to unlock them. This doesn't happen when I open any other windows.
I'm using a PC.

Is that photoshop 6 or photoshop cs6?
Generally one can just separate them by dragging the name of the panel.
(i.e. drag on the Navigator name)
In photoshop cs6 you can reset the workspace by going to Window>Workspace or if you have a custom arrangement of your panels, you
should get everything as you want it and then save your own named workspace, so you can reset it whenever things going awry.

Imported and deleted photos are always showing up as "new photos"

recently iphoto is acting strange:
photos that i have previously imported from my iphone into iphoto (and then subsequently deleted) are constantly showing up as "new photos" when i connect the iphone to iphoto.
why is it getting confused like this, and how can i fix this so i don't have to manually select the photos i want to import every time.
normally it would always recognise which photos were in fact "new" and not show old photos in the "new photos" section.
any help much appreciated.
i am using iphone 5 with latest OS, and iphoto 11 (9.2.3)

photos that i have previously imported from my iphone into iphoto (and then subsequently deleted) are constantly showing up as "new photos" when i connect the iphone to iphoto.
why is it getting confused like this, and how can i fix this so i don't have to manually select the photos i want to import every time.
iPhoto is showing you all photos on the card, that are not in your Photo Library. It does not remember, that they once had been in the library.

Opened premiere and no windows are opening--but the file audio will play as if the video playback window is functioning. I've tried resetting my work space setting several times and it still will not give me any visual. Any idea how to find a way to view

I've even reset my computer a few times and no go.
Where could my editing windows be hiding?

if you have an intel hd graphics: when creating a new project set the renderer to software only. if you have a project open, from the menu, File>Project Settings>General and change the setting there. the "Program Monitor" window will be the one that displays your timeline. if you are on the "editing" workspace, resetting it from the menu should give you the program monitor in the top right corner.
