ITunes in Vista won't remember size and position

I just upgraded to vista, haven't had problems so far until I restarted after using iTunes for the first time... when I opened iTunes again, the window size and position reverted back to the default, which is much larger and not where I'd like it to be.
This happens every time I open and close the program.
Any suggestions?

I know this is WAY after the fact and it's not likely to get a response but it's worth trying anyway:
I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard on XP Professional and I have the window resize problem. Every time I open Acrobat--directly or by opening a PDF file--the window is always on my left monitor and sized so large that it almost fills the screen. The document opens at 100% zoom by default and barely fills 2/3 of the program window as set in preferences as is "Restore las view settings when reopening documents".
Here's the rub: this problem only started after PDFlyer toolbar was installed.
Any ideas?

Can Frame remember size and position of window when it is reopened?

When I re-open the chapters in a book, I want each to open with the same size and position it had when it closed. Frame seems to randomly pick a size and location for each window. In a big book, I can end up with chapters strewn all over. Some are huge, some are small, and they overlap each other.
An exception is chapters that were minimized the last time they were saved, in which case they re-open minimized, which is good behavior.
Any way to tell Frame to remember where the window was last time I was using it?
I'm using FrameMaker 8.0p277, unstructured.

FWIW, I keep the .book file open on the side of the screen and use it to select a chapter to work on. The other chapters are kept minimized. I've found that this is the most efficient way to work and I can bounce between chapters quickly. So I guess I'm using the .book file like the "list of all open files" you mention.
In FM 8, you can see a list of all open files by clicking Windows>More Windows. That shows a list of everything. The biggest problem with that is that it's not in any order that I can discern. If it were in alphabetical order or in the same order as the chapters of my book, it would be more useful.
When I double-click on the name of a chapter, it opens in what seems to be almost a random size and position, which is the cause of my original post.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Acrobat won't remember size and shape of window

I'm running Acrobat Standard 7.1.0 on Windows XP Professional SP3. Each time I open Acrobat, either directly or by clicking on a PDF email attachment, the application opens in a landscape shaped (horizontally oriented) rectangular window. I then resize and reshape the window in a portrait format for ease of use. Unlike every other Windows application, Acrobat simply will not remember the window size and shape that I prefer. Is this behavior unique, or have others experienced it as well? Is there anything I can do to correct the problem?

I downloaded IOS 6 and now it won't remember names and passwords

I recently downloaded IOS 6 for IPhone 4 and now it won't remember names and passwords for websites I frequently visit. It used to remember prior to the download. Any suggestions?

You could unplug your router than plug it back in. You could turn the iPhone completely off and then back on.

Aarrrghh - can't find image size and position in captivate 8!

I was using Captivate 8 and it was under a tab in properties (don't remember the name of the "sub-tab").
Now, I'm using a newly downloaded version and cannot find size and position (x, y, width, length, etc.).
This should NOT be so hard
Any suggestions?

Totally agree, don't like the UI change neither. One of the reasons I'm happy to know all moving and resizing shortcuts by heart, they still work in CP8. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have rulers?

It is not as simple neither, because it is in a different location for a normal and for a responsive project.
For the normal project it is under the Options tab, for responsive projects you need the Position panel, both for Size and Location.

Set specific size and position of preloader's empty movieclip on main stage

hey, just wondering if it's possible to script an external preloader's empty movie clip to be of a specific size and position on the main stage? here's the script i've got for the preloader so far:
var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
my_pb.mode = "manual";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("Portfolio", 999);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
    my_pb.label = "LOADING: " + target_mc._name;
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number):Void {
    var pctLoaded:Number = Math.ceil(100 * (numBytesLoaded / numBytesTotal));
    my_pb.setProgress(numBytesLoaded, numBytesTotal);
my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
my_mcl.loadClip("Creative-Outrage_External.swf", Portfolio);
thanks in advance.

i could load the movies that way or if i tell my main movie to load the same preloader in an empty movieclip, instead of on the main timeline. however, this way it all looks great, but the buttons on the main timeline won't respond to user events from the external swfs.

Size and position of Safari windows

I don't think anyone's noticed the problem discussed at the end of a thread, outlined here:
K H N Lim, "Enlarge Window Size" #3, 01:44pm Jul 28, 2005 CDT
It's a problem a lot of people (okay, four of us) are having. Quick summary:
"I launch Safari, resize the window and position it at the upper lefthand corner. Quit Safari and relaunch. Initially the window stays put, but after a while, the position shifts. And keeps shifting more and more toward the right of the screen with each subsequent launch."
I've had the same problem and it makes it hard to switch from one app to another, with Safari shifting all over the screen and refusing to remember how it was positioned from launch to launch. Any ideas what's up?

I used to be bugged by this too. Then I saw a message from someone who suggested the following applescript (with changes to coords to match your screen size and position you want). Mine is set for 1600 x 1024 resolution on my 22" cinema display. The coords are for top left corner and bottom right corner of the Safari window.
Make a new bookmark, i.e. press COMMAND-D
Specify that it should go in the bookmarks bar.
Go to the bookmarks screen in Safari.
Find the bookmark.
Select the name (left side) and edit it to something like Window Position.
Select the URL (right side) and paste in (without the quotes)
"javascript:self.moveTo(190,0);self.resizeTo(1150,995)"
Close the bookmarks window/screen.
Click on "Window Position" in the bookmarks bar and the window will resize to specified size and position.

Size and Position of New Safari Windows

When I click on a link in safari and it opens a new window I would like to be able to have that window open at a particular size and position of my choosing. How can I do this?

I used to think that it used the same size and placement as the last window closed but it is not doing that for me now.
It should.
Since you're running Lion disable Resume > How To Disable Lion's 'Resume' Feature - MacRumors.com
Then restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. See if it will "remember' window size.

Size and Position of a document"s window

Why doesn't InDesign CS4 remember the size and position of a document"s window?
This worked in all previous InDesign versions + it certainly still works in Photoshop and Illustrator CS4.

This is an annoying problem for me too. Recently upgraded from CS2 to CS4. I use styles a lot and like to keep the palletes for them open on the bottom right of the screen. I used to reduce the width of a window of a document back so it sat to left of these palletes and it would stay this way whenever I opened it, but now every time I open a document it defaults to full screen width and so need to move the styles palletes to access the thing at the bottom right of the document window to resize it. This is very annoying. How do you set it so Indesign remembers a document's window width as well as its position? If you can't, why the hell not? Also tried this with application frame, but it has the same behaviour within the frame. Not keen on application frame anyway, still like the option-click on the desktop behind to hide the app quickly.

DM 3.0.0.665: Individual dataflow diagrams forget process size and position

Some of my dataflow diagrams do not remember the size and position of processes when I move or resize them.
The problem only seems to affect "external" processes, ie processes that are not subprocesses to the diagram.
How can I avoid this behavior?

Marc,
I logged bug for that. Unfortunately there is no workaround.

InDesign forgets window size and position when opening

PC with Windows 7, CS 2014.
I set up Illustrator so that it does not open full screen (I have a 27" monitor) so that I can have panels permanently open around the edges. Close Illustrator and re-open it and it remembers the last set window position.
InDesign remembers the position of the open panels but opens the main window full screen every time, and it's really annoying having to resize and reposition the main window every time I load InDesign.
I upgraded from an earlier version of Adobe CS and that older version of InDesign remembered the window size and position. Why did this change?
Can this be fixed please?

From the InDesign top menu have you tried going to Window/Application Frame to put the application in it's own resizable frame? That will hold the window to the same size each time you open an InDesign file.

[SOLVED] Windows Size and Positioning

Hi, I'm having this problems with windows like those of Evince or Firefox or some others. The thing is they start not maximized but their size is so big that I have to move them with my keyboard a little bit so as to be able to resize them with my mouse. This is very annoying... is there a setting for Gnome to remember last time position and size used or at least start all windows with the same size and position???
Thank you

Welcome,
you could use devilspie to achieve something like that.
Did you set the dpi?
Regards,
demian
P.S.: You could use Openbox within your Gnome as Window Manager. It remembers Window sizes, uses sane defaults and can spawn Windows unter the mouse (among various other things).

Software to restore apps window size and position after change in screen resolution

I use a 27' iMac'10 with SL 10.6.8, running it at 2560x1440 screen resolution.
Whenever I have to attend meetings via GoToMeeting or Webex and need to present, the resolution is too high, since most participants are on 15' laptops or even iPad's these days. Therefore, I reset the screen resolution to 1600x900 for the time of the presentation.
After the meeting is over, I reset the resolution back to 2560x1440.
Problem: After the reset, all my apps are scaled and out of place, so I need to manually reset them to their original sizes and positions. I use Divvy to make this a bit less painful, but still it's a manual chore.
Is there any software out there that let's me restore my windows to the exact settings they were the last time before I changed screen resolution?

I agree, the ability to remember window sizes and positions when switching between laptop and using the Thunderbolt display would be very useful. It's like your Mac remembering the volume level depending on whether you have headphones plugged in or not.

Object Size and Position values not being retained

Hi,
I'm trying to set the size and position of a picture object in a report. This logo, should appear on the top right corner of the report.
The margins of the report are Left - .79 in, Right - 0.79 in, Top - 0.79 in and Bottom - 0.39 in.
The size of the picture object should be 1.574 x 0.79 inches.
I have ensured that File -> Page Setup -> dimensions are in INCHES.
I right click the logo and select 'Size and Position'.
I set 'Y' (distance between top of object and top margin) = 0. This is to perfectly align the object with the top margin.
Now, i set the height of the object = 0.79 inches. Ok the dialog and close.
The strange thing happening is, when i re-open the size and position dialog, i see that the values i set are not being retained.
0.79 becomes 0.810
and
0 become -0.010.
What am i doing wrong here? How can i make sure the values i specify in the size and position dialog are retained.
Thanks.

Ensure File | Options | Layout tab has the following UNMARKED!!!!
Design View
Guidelines
Grid
Preview
Guidelines
Grid
Ensure that "Snap to Grid" is turned off.
Make your grid size larger (.5 inches for example)
What is occurring (I suspect) is that your objects are snapping to the grid - thus changing the position and possibly size due to the Snap to Grid being turned on.

Can you change the units used for size and position in layout editor?

Hello,
In Aperture 3.4, does anyone know if you can change the units used for size and position in layout editor? The page is set in inches, but the image size and position are given in centimetres and I would prefer to work all in inches to create custom layouts. I can't see any way to change this. If anyone knows how it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Aperture uses the unit settings defined in the System Preferences. Set the "Measurement Units" in the "Region" tab of the "Language & Text" preferences to "US"; the Aperture will display the Size & Position in inches, if it is the "Book" layout manager you are asking about.
Merry Christmas!
