Is there a utility to make whatever window I choose stay on top?

I've searched the forums, so if this question is answered, I apologize!
I was wondering if there is a utility program that would let me keep whatever window I choose stay on top of all my other windows I have open. I know iTunes can do this, but I'd like something system wide.
For example, if I'm working on a project in Final Cut Pro, but I have a client on-line with Yahoo Messenger, I'd like my chat box to stay "on top" of Final Cut pro, even though FCP would be my active program. I could do that with my old Windows computer, as the graphics card had a program to do it.
Any info would be helpful

Hi, Bill, a, and Mike —
Bill, I agree with Mike N. that unsanity's WindowShade X 4.0.2 is a 3rd-party app that may come close to what you want.
A caution. Thought I'd add — for your benefit, if you're unfamiliar with unsanity — that you should keep a close eye on other applications (and, potentially, your system) closely after its installation — should you choose to try WindowShade. Many folks (I'm one) have experienced bizarre behaviors after installing a "haxie" from unsanity. Also note that many are dependent on their Application Enhancer (APE) 1.5.1, which you may not notice has been installed (although it tells you so). Thankfully, their apps typically include an uninstall option that's accessible from System Preferences — and both the app and APE may need to be uninstalled if you observe problems.
And, fyi... Mac OS X itself provides application developers the ability to create windows that inherently meet your objective — they're termed "utility windows." The Apple Human Interface Guidelines describes them on pp. 169 and 194.
Warm regards to all,
Dean

Why is there a restriction on window size in Pages 5.0? And is there a way to make the window smaller anyway?

I like to work with multiple windows open on the same screen at once. Now the smallest allowed width of the window takes up over half the screen (I have a 13 inch macbook)! This restriction is here whether or not I am zoomed in or out. Can I get aroundt this???

The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

IPhone Config Utility 1.1 for Windows: Cert Chooser not working for SSL

I have installed the iPhone Configuration Utility for Windows 1.1 and I cannot add SSL certificates into Configuration Profiles. The Certificate Chooser opens, but there is no way for me to add an SSL certificate. Blank list and no button to browse or add a certificate.
Any solutions to this? Has anyone else seen this? I have tried repairing the installation, and uninstalling/reinstalling the application to no avail.
Sorry to open a new post for a supposedly closed topic, but the old thread does not contain any real answer...just an 'I fixed it myself' post with no description of the solution.

Hi Aaron,
Did you open a TAC case for this?
Escalations team found a problem with the format of the xml file in a very similar issue reported in a TAC case. The format needs to be as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
9905
9.0.3
http://server.domain.com/update/CiscoJabberSetup.msi
or just:
9905

Is there a way to make movies open with the same screen size and position?

Hello, I'm a new mac guy having just bought an i-mac a few months ago.
I have a bunch of saved movies that open in quick time. Each time I open a separate movie by double clicking the file, the window opens in the upper right hand corner in a fairly small window. I must then drag the window size and location to a much larger size. I do this every time.
I saw under quicktime, preferences, a section about preferences for full screen. This seems to work one time, for that movie, but all subsequent movies (even in full screen) or their same size.
Is there a way to make the window size and/or location permanent?
Thanks.

this would have seemed like an easy thing to do but i've had no luck; one more attempt at a solution?

An app to make my windows go back to a set size when I connect my monitor?

This might be an odd request, but is there an application to make my windows go back to a set size whenever I connect my 22" monitor or when I disconnect and use the 13" screen? There is a lot of "overhang" when I disconnect, and the windows are tiny when I go back to the 22". It could save me a lot of trouble, and I would use my MacBook a lot more than just on my desk.
I have basic knowledge around AppleScript, so maybe that could be a solution.
Thanks in advance!

Iphone 4S newly updated to iOS8, keeps popping up window notifying me of things I turned off (cell usage, location, etc) to preserve battery life. Is there any way to make them stop telling me every time I use the affected apps?

I have finally taken the step of updating my iPhone 4S to iOS8 after learning the hard way last update to wait for the bugs to be worked out. I was horrified to find that the battery was being sucked dry in no time at all. After finding a great article posted elsewhere on the apple forums, I went through and turned off all unnecessary options involving the use of cell data, location services and background refreshing. My battery life has thankfully returned to what it was before the update.
HOWEVER, now, every time I open an app for which I turned these things off, the window informing me of that pops up.   I am getting really irritated by this as I made all of these decisions deliberately and am well aware that I may need to go back and change them in order to activate certain capabilities when I want to use them. I had done the same thing with the last iOS, but there were far fewer that needed to be turned off and the battery life seemed to be less affected by those that I left on so it was not the annoyance it has become now.
Is there any way to make the phone stop presenting me with these idiot messages?   TIA

Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes. Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

Is there a way to make the multitrack behave as the edit window?

I have been using the 30 day trial and am on my last day. I find Audition great except for 2 things(both of which I probably just don't know how to use).
1.Is there a way to make a track shrink or enlarge with the mouse scroll as in edit. I find it really annoying when all it does in the multitrack is scroll up and down between the tracks.
2.I can't seem to click on a track in the multi track and get it to play from there. I have to drag the play marker to that point.
I'm sure these problems can be rectified and it's just because I haven't read the full spec.
Many Thanks

>I find Audition great
Yes it is!
>1.Is there a way to make a track shrink or enlarge with the mouse scroll as in edit. I find it really annoying when all it does in the multitrack is scroll up and down between the tracks.
You are scrolling in the window you need to place your mouse over the vertical bar on the far right of the screen and then scroll
>2.I can't seem to click on a track in the multi track and get it to play from there. I have to drag the play marker to that point
Right mouse click on transport control (play button) and select play from cursor to end of file.

Is there any way to make windows "sticky" in mission control?

If I have several applications open, then invoke mission control, then click on a window to select it, the windows are in a different position the next time I invoke mission control. This is like trying to hit a moving target, or as I sometimes refer to it, "musical windows". I've tried checking and uncheckng the mission control options in system preferences, but the windows still move all over. Is there any way to make windows "sticky"? What I would prefer ideally is that each group of windows remains in the same location, then new ones are added after. I find it frustrating to have to scan mission control and locate the window I want, which is always being moved.
-Thanks

Go to Intel Download Center and select the 3000/4000 driver.

Is there a way to make Photoshop Elements 5 (2006) compatible to a Dell Windows 7 laptop?

I received a copy of Photoshop Elements 5 (2006) and have a Dell Windows 7. I installed and registered my name to the software, but am aware that the program is compatible with Windows Vista or XP. Is there a way to make it compatible to my computer and/or update/upgrade to a more recent version? If there is no way to make the program work for my computer, is there a way to un-register my name from it?
Thank you for any help at all!

Do you get any problems when trying to run the software on Windows 7? If yes, try to run it under Windows XP or Vista Compatibility Mode.

HT1782 Is there a way to partition my bootcamp via disk utility whithout impacting the windows 8.1 which is already installed?

I have got a new macbook pro 15 with SSD - 512Gig, RAM - 16 Gig, NVIDIA GPU - 2 Gig. I basically work on windows stuff and I heard of the bootcamp support that apple provide to install windows in their models and wanted to try the best APPLE mobile PC.
What I did:
I logged in to windows 8.1 via bootcamp and under disk management tool in windows I partitioned my bootcamp drive to add a new partition. The partition was successfully done but when I tried to bootcamp back to OSx, the diskutility did not recognise the addtional partition that i created, eventually i couldnt logon to OSx. Then I logged back in to windows 8.1 and deleted the partition and tried loggin to OSx. But now the diskutility didnot recognise any of the drives at all, and I ended up earsing all the partitions and recovered OSx via internet.
I guess the partitions cannot be modified outside the OSx itself. So is there a way to partition my bootcamp via disk utility whithout impacting the windows 8.1 which is already installed?
Any one please help.
Thanks in advance,
Sreejesh.

After using BootCamp to partition a drive, the partition map is a hybrid that Disk Utility is unable to do anything with safely as far as partitioning goes.
Try Camptune from Paragon at http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ instead.

HT1238 Is there a version of the iPod Reset Utility for 64-bit Windows?

In Windows 7, is there a way to make Firefox one program in the taskbar, instead of having each tab listed as a seperate program?

In 3.6, when you clicked on the Firefox icon in the Windows taskbar, you'd be switched to Firefox. Now, in 4.0b, when you click the logo, it displays the tabs you have open and you have to choose on to return to Firefox. It slows down switching between windows. Is there a setting, in Firefox, or windows to change it back to the way it used to work?

# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears
# This brings up a list of preferences, in the filter box type '''preview'''
# Double-click on the preference '''<nowiki>browser.taskbar.previews.</nowiki>enable''' to change its value to '''false'''

Is there a utility to make whatever window I choose stay on top?
