Itune Is Always On Top

I Recently purchased an Acer Aspire 9300 (And have had nothing but trouble with it so far) Itunes was working fine for the first few weeks, but now whenever it's open it fights to always be my main window. For example as i've typed this its popped up about four times.
Please help if you know a fix, i keep accidentally deleting songs because i'm typing when it pops up!

If you're using Windows Live Messenger or have it running in the background - uncheck the option to show your current song as your personal message as this can result in iTunes popping up.
If that's not it have you installed any iTunes Widgets/plugins that might affect iTunes behaviour?
There is an option to keep the iTunes miniplayer on top in Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General, but that doesn't sound like your problem.

  • Mini player always on top spoiled?

    Hi there,
    there's is an issue concerning the mini player:
    When you start iTunes and (before) checked "Mini player always on top" it isn't on top. If you enter options it is checked, though.
    So, uncheck -> ok -> check (using Ctrl+, to enter options) makes it always on top. But as soon as a track is edited (using Ctrl-i), mini player isn't on top any more. So again unckeck -> ok -> check and it's always on top again.
    Does anybody else see this behaviour?

    Can anyone verify this flaw, please?

  • Always on top - Linux and Mac

    Hi I'd like to know if there is some way to set a JFrame "always on top" in Unix. I've found libraries that do this on Windows. Can this be done on a Mac? If so please tell me how or even better if you have the code for it, please post.

    Secondly, I'd like to be able to use the smart playlist options to create a playlist that excludes/includes all songs from an album that is/isn't on another playlist.
    If I understand you correctly, you can already do that. Just add the criteria "Playlist is not Favorites".
    Thirdly, and this is both an iPod than iTunes thing, when I browse by artist in the iPod music, all the albums are sorted alphabetically. I'd like to have them sorted by date/year [...]
    Sorry, I don't have any ideas on how you might do that.

  • Mac File Site window always on top

    I am using Dreamweaver 8.0, but have seen this exact same
    issue on a Windows CS3 install and a Mac CS3 install.
    I like to have the Files Window detached from the right side,
    and expanded so I can see the Remote Site and Local Files lists
    side by side. When I open an html file, I expect the html file to
    open on top of the file list window. It works this way on some
    installs, but not on others, very annoying. In the problem
    installs, I must manually move the file (site) window way down to
    the right to expose the html file I want to work on. Then when I
    want open another html file, I have to drag it file window back up,
    to see my file list, double click on the file, and then move the
    file list back out of the way.
    In other words, in the problem setups, the File Window is
    "always on top", so it must be a preference or setting, but I
    cannot figure out.
    Please help me fix this annoying problem.

    I'm having the exact same problem in DW CS5 now. Did you find a solution? Hitting fn+F8 isn't going to work on my iMac extended keyboard. F8 is the iTunes play pause button. Besides, having to command-tab to an app THEN hit fn+F8 just isn't going to work obviously.
    I can't believe in 2010 this is broken.
    Please do let me know if you found a way around it. I tried all the different layout prefabs in CS5, and without exception they all do it.

  • Option to make QT "always on top"?

    I multitask with multiple windows open, but enjoy having video play while I am working or surfing. Is there a way to keep QT always on top of other windows? Thanks in advance.

    No, not in Quicktime. But,you can play your videos in iTunes and the videos will play on top of everything on the screen.

  • Keeping video podcast screen always on top?

    ok, so i click on the video podcast in itunes and it opens in a new screen,
    i want to know if there is anyway to always keep that new video podcast screen always on top of mys desktop.
    i usually have at least 5 or more apps open and i am going between them all the time,
    i'd love to be able to keep a video podcast always on top in one corner...
    help?

    Use something like NicePlayer or BitPlayer. Both have the ability to keep the window on top (called floating window in BitPlayer).

  • Windows "Always on Top"

    I am trying to get a window to "always remain on top" or float above all windows, regardless of where I click. For example, if you zoom Itunes into a smaller window, it always floats above all windows. How do I do this with other windows? It helps when working on multiple applications to keep a source document in a window "always on top" and prevented from being hidden.

    Thank you. That seemed to do the trick.
    Is it possible that my panels in CS3 were always floating, allowing me to prevent them from being covered? I'm just thinking that it seems odd that panels could be covered at all. You loose a lot of editing abilities when one can't see them!

  • Video always on top

    had to reinstall everything, including itunes, but can't figure out how to have videos always on top again.
    help please.

    Oke, i've found out that there is no problem while using Banshee. So the screen is always on top playing nibbles and using Totem Movie Player.
    Is there someone who knows what might be wrong?

  • I opened my iTunes and most of my music was gone, it said "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top and had playlists from a few years ago (that I've long since deleted). How can I get my old library back?

    Please help!! About a week ago I opened my iTunes to find that all but 200 something of my songs were missing (I had 1,000 something the day before) and all of my current playlists were gone. They've been replaced by playlists that I had nearly four years ago and have long since deleted. It also says "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top. I am SO frustrated because everything is gone!!!

    Nevermind, once I posted this topic it gave me some helpful related topics on the side and I found my answer! Would have been nice if it could have given me those before I posted this!!! Anyway, if anyone else sees this and is having the problem, press and hold the Shift key while double clicking to open itunes on your desktop, then it will ask you to select a library and just choose the one with the most recent date!! (Use the Opt key instead of Shift for Mac users). I owe alot of thanks to the person on the board that helped me, been frustrated for DAYS!!! THANK YOU!

  • Flash always on top in Safari 5.0.5

    Hi,
    I have some problems with flash in Safari 5.0.5 with Flash Player 10.2. My flash banners is always on top and covers menus and popups. wmode and z-index seems to be correct. It works as expected in the latest nightly build of webkit and Google Chrome, but not Safari.
    Here is the webpage, scroll down and you will see the flash covering the top menu: http://www.booli.se/bostad/villa/hisingen/plockerotegatan+16/786830
    I found this question on the same topic (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2458855?start=0&tstart=0) where the problem was said to be solved with Safari 5.0.1. A test site was set up in that thread by user suastegui which can be found here: http://www.guru.ag/fl2/iframeTest/index.html. On this page the flash is still covering the other elements for me.
    Any ideas?

    BBC iPlayer relies on Adobe Air. AIR 1.5.3 is the last version of AIR that supports Mac PowerPC and Windows 2000. AIR applications that require AIR 2 or later cannot be installed or used on a Macintosh PowerPC or a computer running the Windows 2000 operating system.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

  • Dreamweaver Panels - Only one panel visible at a time, others get obscured even with Always On Top.

    I have a problem with my Dreamweaver MX, and it is that I can only see one panel at a time, any other open panels get obscured. For example, with the work space maximized, and having the properties and behaviors panels open, I can only see one of the panels at the same time. If I click on any area of the work space each open panel will display and with the next click the other will display. If I make the work space smaller then the whole area of my screen, and move any open panels outside of the Dreamweaver work space, only then they will stay visible. I know this is not normal behavior, because I used to be able to see all the open panels simultaneously, with the work space maximized to use all the screen area. I went to Preferences> Panels> Always On Top, and all the checkmarks are still set, so as to keep all panels on top at all times, but this does no longer be the case. Can someone tell me what happened here, and how I can get back to being able to see all the open panels? BTW, I tried installing older version of Dreamweaver 4, and the same thing happens to both installed versions. This is extremely annoying!
    Thanks. -Al.

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
    After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
    Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

  • "Show Desktop" bug forces any program windows to be stuck "Always-on-top"

    What I found under Windows 7, when you use the "Show Desktop" feature (I prefer the ⊞ Win + D shortcut) and then bring all windows back by using it again, some windows behave as if they're glued to the front of the z-order. What this means is, say, I have windows
    A B and C open, with focus on A, hit ⊞ Win +D twice, and now it may happen that if I then want to switch to B or C, either by Alt+Tab or by selecting them on the taskbar, the taskbar shows the highlight, but A stays visible (and usable, it's not just a rendering
    issue) in the foreground.
    Imagine the following situations, all three windows cascading and overlapping:
    A (focus)
    B
    C
    -> ⊞ Win + D
    Desktop (focus)
    -> ⊞ Win + D
    A (focus)
    B
    C
    -> click C on taskbar
    A
    C (focus)
    B
    -> click B on taskbar
    A
    B (focus)
    C
    And so on. Focus means actual input focus, i.e. in second situation, any keyboard typing is sent to window B while window A is in the foreground.
    It does not matter what kind of application; in my current case an instance of Outlook and an instance of Explorer is stuck, while a second instance of Explorer and an instance of Firefox behave normally. This should show that this problem can occur even between
    multiple instances of the same application, and that there are no fancy applications involved that like to pretend they are the most important program and internally force "always on top".
    Showing and unshowing the desktop again doesn't help; in the worst case another window might end up with the "glued to the top of the z-order" too. Between those, I can easily switch, but in order to get a window which still behaves normally on top, I have
    to manually minimize the offending windows.
    The only cure seems to close the offending windows so far, I've not found anything else that helps.
    Could it be that Windows 7 has a bug that can force an ALWAYS_ON_TOP flag
    onto some windows when restoring from "Show Desktop", or am I doing something wrong?
    More information from another user:
    I use win+d. Issue easy to replicate, Win7-64bit-Ultimate.
    The affected windows (any program) seem to be placed into a separate "Z" group. You can place multiple/many windows into this always-on-top state, those in the affected state will function normally in relation to each other with the exception that: - The group
    as a whole is always-on-top of any non-affected window - The whole group is on top of the taskbar. - The whole group does not respond to (context on taskbar) "cascade windows" or similar commands.
    The fact that the affected windows are on top of the taskbar and otherwise function as "special windows" shows that windows 7 has a hidden "feature" of always-on-top that gets applied with Win+D. The feature appears to place windows in a super window state
    that is on top of the taskbar. The normal group remaining behind the taskbar. (When you click the start menu or context menu of the taskbar, the start menu/taskbar comes to the foreground of the always-on-top group, however this does not revert the affected
    windows, only a temporary takeover until you switch to something other than the start menu/taskbar)
    This is key to finding an answer. How do we get windows to unassign the special status or not do the assignment in the first place?

    It appeared to have cleared by closing all windows and restarting. Initially I could not reproduce the error, then after opening all my working windows, I did indeed reproduce it on any window.
    I almost think it could be initialized with something to do with multiple windows of Chrome, and then the show desktop problem will crop up once one window has it. This was because: After messing around some more with a chrome session saver (session buddy)
    and restoring sessions and getting the super state, I restored and closed the window I was in and now I am again at a place where I can not reproduce the error, even in my "work environment" with some 35 chrome tabs in two windows, plus other programs, file
    locations, remote desktops and a second chrome profile with another dozen tabs.
    So, back to square one with finding the actual instigator of the super state phenomenon.
    Once you actually have the super sate issue, the following will reproduce:
    Ok, I am doing this as I type it:
    Open chrome (to view this website), then Notepad, then Calculator, (could be any windows, but for the purpose of demonstration, follow along with me)
    The windows should function normally, overlap your windows so that you can see the edge of all windows and the Z-order is (from front to back):the browser on top, then the calculator, then Notepad (you should be able to see part of the background windows).
    Now, with the browser on top, press win+d, then win+d again.
    Click on Calculator, then your browser, your browser is now stuck in the foreground. Clicking on notepad will bring the focus to notepad, and it will be in front of the calculator, yet it will stay behind the browser, as your browser is in "super state". (many
    arrangements of switching focus after returning from win+d will create the problem, with the exeption of clicking the desktop, I also noticed that I could not get calculator into super state unless it overlapped my chrome browser).
    Again, this does not seem to work until at least one of your windows is affected. We do not know how to get the initial window, only subsequent ones.
    I will post back if I find anything else.
    Let me know if there is anything that develops.

    Hey floridiansue,
    Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook?  If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.
