ITunes Windows do not come to the front when app is selected

When I Command-Tab to bring iTunes to the front, the open window does not come into focus. This behaviour is definitely not following human interface guidelines. It's the same when I click iTunes from the dock.

I'm having the same issue. It takes two clicks to bring iTunes window to the front. App switching or clicking on the dock icon will activate the application, but will not bring the iTunes window forward. I either have to click on the dock icon a second time or select iTunes in the app switcher again. Very strange.

Bridge CC does not come to the front, when opening file from explorer

Hi everybody! Please let me now if there is way to solve the following problem:
When Adobe Bridge CC is opened in the back and I surf through files in Windows Explorer, after I double-click the file I want to view, Bridge does not come to the front, like normal image viewers do, it opens the file normally, but unfortunately for me it stays in the back. And I want it to show up every time I open an Image!
Thank you in advance!
Win7, 64bit, Adobe CC

Any App in Windows opened in the background has the ability to show up every time it is called... Except Bridge for some reason...
If I double-click MP3 file - Windows Media Player shows up, even if it running in the back
If I double-click a text file - Notepad shows up, even if it running in the back
But if I double-click an image file - Bridge just stays in the back

MBP: iTunes says im not connected to the internet when I am.

Hi,
I have had this problem for quite some time now and its starting to irritate me.
I am trying to update my my iTunes version from 10.2.2 to 10.3.1 but it tells me that I am not connected to the internet when I clearly am. Everything worked perfectly (uTorrent, Firefox, Safari, MSN) even the iTunes store and the app store.
Issue:
* Open iTunes
* Click iTunes
* Click 'Check for updates'
* Version 10.3.1 is available for download
- Click 'Download now'
* MBP says its 'Checking for new software'
* MBP says 'Software update cannot check for updates because of a network problem'
* Click 'Network diagnostic'
- MBP says that my internet is running perfectly
* iTunes software update closes by itself
> I have no firewalls on and no anti-virus programs installed at all, everything on the Macbook Pro 15" is standard.
> I have tried un-installing and re-installing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got the iPad 2 for Christmas 32gb and for some reason it did not come with the green messages app. Is there any way to get this on my iPad or am I out of luck?

Ipad2 came without messages app. Please help me in figuring out why! :)

What version of iOS have you get (Settings > General > About > Version) ? Messages was introduced with iOS 5, so if you aren't on that then you can update to it and you should get the Messages app.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTnnes and copy any purchases off the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

When I got the IOS 8.2 update it did not come with the apple watch app like it said it wouldo

I went to settings and clicked on the IOS 8.2 update and when it restarted the apple watch which on the update discription said would be there wasn't there

The Apple Watch app is only on the iPhone. You can't pair a watch with a iPad even though it was included in the update.

Does not automatically switch to space when app is selected

In reality this is not a new issue been pretty much always this way
Running 10.10.3 on Min with 16 g RAM
They article OS X Yosemite: Work in multiple spaces say that once i configure mission control when I select an App I will be automatically switched to the space/desktop (They can't seem to keep their terminology consistent ) which i have assigned that app to (yes the options are set for that app to open in specified desktop and monitor) Ok when I select that or any assigned app The app comes up in the upper tool bar but the desktop does not change . I must manually switch the desktop
PITA

System Preferences/Mission Control - is the second box down checked?

Bring Excel 2007 to the front when called from LabView v9 in Windows 7

I am building a duplicate system using Windows 7, LabView v9 and Excel v2007. The original system used WinXP, Excel 2007 and LabView v8.6. The issue is that the original system was able to bring Excel to the front when called from Labview using the property node -application-> visible. This new configuration runs Excel, loads the data, runs the macros but does not bring Excel to the front. The icon blinks in the Win7 taskbar and when selected displays over LabView. If I minimize the Labview window, Excel is there. This leads me to conclude that Excel is visible, as requested but will not come to the front until selected from the taskbar. The only differences, besides the versions, is the original system template files used the .xls extension in and was run in Excel in compatible mode. At the customers request, the new system uses the .xlsm extension on the Excel template files. I have tried using application.visible = True in the macro as well. Could be a setting in Labview? Could be a setting in Excel? Could be .xls vs. .xlsm? Or an issue with Windows 7 and the newer version of Labview.

Thank you in advance

I will try the windowstate change. Were these done in succession? (i.e. property node -> property node -> property node) Or were they done along the way such as call the ActiveX open and a property node then in a worksheet modification area etc. so there was some time between calls?
I am not sure about the API since the discussion there is with regard to DDE. (Taken from the link document: If you want to call a DLL that contains ActiveX
objects, use the Automation
Open VI with the Property
Node and the Invoke
Node.). I am calling Excel as an application not as a library call unless I am mistaken, which I could certainly be. Are you thinking that once Excel is active through the Automation Open VI that a DLL call to set the application visible would work? I may be trying this already but in Excel through the use of the macro I call from LabView. It contains application.visible = True at the beginning before reading files and plotting data.
I may try sprinkling Property node with application->visible in various locations in the LabView diagram as I do update cells after the call to the plot macro. The puzzle for me is the blinking Excel icon in the task bar. This means active and running but not visible or something wrong as well. There are a few #VALUE cells if not all test in the system are run. Again not a problem in Excel 2007-WinXP-LV8.6
Thank you again one and all.

Make all open finder windows come to the front?

Things that used to be so simple on the Mac are now so complicated.
I have a bunch of finder windows open. Most of them are hidden behind other application windows, like my browser.
I used to be able to click anywhere on the desktop to make all windows come to the front. No longer. Later, I could do it by mousing all the way over to the Dock and clicking on the Finder icon there. Now even that doesn't work!
How the heck do you simply make all open finder windows come to the front???

DrBeckenstein:What to use in its place though?The utilities of choice for Mac OS X are Tech Tool Pro and Disk Warrior. Both of these pick up where Disk Utility leave off. When DU reports errors it cannot repair, you turn to one or the other of these two. Many Mac users like Disk Warrior for it excellent work in repairing and rebuilding directories. I use TTP because it not only does excellent work with directories, but it also does hardware checks, disk optimization, files checks, eDrive (emergency boot drive) etc. In the long run, though, it is largely a matter of personal preference.
Again, I don't know what maintenance procedures you employ, but our Systems get rather sluggish sometimes as caches fill up, preference files become corrupted, the need for Unix maintenance allow CRONs to build up. Here are a few sites that offer good suggestions and links to resources:
1. Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
2. Maintaining Mac OS X
3. Mac OS X: How to force background maintenance tasks (logs and temporary items)
4. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
I mentioned in my earlier post that if the problem is essentially with one application you can go into Home Folder > Library > Preferences, find the .plis for that application, drag it to the desktop and restart. Check to see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't you can replace the new .plist created with the one on the desktop, or just drag the desktop copy to the Trash.
In your situation I would run Repair Disk from the install CD, then implement some of the suggestions on maintenance.
One other thing to note: a too full HDD can cause problems. If it is over 50% full it could need disk optimization. If have near 85% of available capacity used, you are running a risk not only of compromised performance, but also of directory overlapping and, eventually of a crash.
Good luck.

HT2311 After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go). What do I do?

After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go). I also looked for the new iTunes by clicking on my Hard Drive icon but didn't see it there either. I only see the icon for the old iTunes. What do I do?

The exclamation mark means that the app has lost the link to the actual file.
First step: try and make sure the iPhoto Library is working correctly:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

My project is set up with "rotation" menu intro, video, and then "rotation" on end, however, when you put DVD disc in DVD player, menu does not come up on front end, it goes straight to the video. Is there some step I am missing?

Open your iDVD project and go into the Map mode. Made sure the autostart bin on the left is empty.
Click to view full size
If you find a video in that bin remove it, save the project as a disk image and check the disk image with DVD Player. Then you can burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utilitiy at 4x for optimal burning.

After installing Firefox 6, when I click on an e-mail (thunderbird) link, Firefox stays on the backround and does not open in front. How can I make firefox come to the front automatically when a link is clicked?

If I receive an e-mail on thurnderbird with a link to a URL, if I click it firefox will open in the background, but it won't automatically com to the front, but will stay in the back. I have to click on the thurnderbird icon to make the firefox screen come up.

See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!
