Keep app on top other applications

Hi friends, I need to provide an option in my JavaFx application to "keep the player on top" so it remains available on the screen even if you click on another application window. Any idea?

  • The app Spaces keeps me from using two applications at the same time.

    I set up Spaces but now experience a bad side-effect. When I need to have Two files/folders/whatever in use because I want to place something from X into Y, I cannot do it because Spaces only lets One application on the desktop at the time; it shoos all the other applications away, and in doing so, it takes away the thing that I wanted to place into the new application that swooshed onto my desktop when I pressed its corresponding square in the Spaces icon in the top control panel.
    How can I arrange it so that I can keep Two or three applications available for me to do transfers from one to another?

    Ferrell, I have done what you suggested. I clicked onto the Spaces icon in the upper control panel and assigned spaces to six apps: Mail, Safari, iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, and iWeb.
    The problem is that if I am one app and I want to put something into that app, then the minute my mouse cursor goes to get that other thing, the original application into which I want the thing put GETS WHOOSHED OFF THE DESKTOP. What I want is for the original app to remain open whilst I go to retrieve a file or folder, and stay open while I put that thing into the original app.
    How does one turn off Spaces? I don't mean to delete all the names from the settings.I mean, just turn it off for a while so I can do something which requires for two apps to be open at the same time????

  • My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

    My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

    - Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery.  Just the icon.
    - Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
    - What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

  • I am having problems with migration assistant (windows pc to Mac 2011) When I get to the 'Quit other applications' box and click continue, nothing happens. There are no other apps running - any ideas, please?

    I am having probems with migration assistant. Trying to transfer data from a windows laptop to iMac 2011. It was working fine when I did the set-up yesterday, but it was going to take hours to transfer some videos so I quit the process with the intention of doing it again at a later stage. However today I find that everytime I get to the 'Quit other applications' box on the Mac and click 'continue', nothing happens. Have checked mission control and confirmed no other apps running. Tried several times with the same result every time. Migration Assistant running on my laptop with the 'Waiting for mac to connect' box displayed. Mac is connected to wi-fi OK as able to use Safari and access internet. Any ideas, please?

    Thanks for your suggestions. Have managed to get Migration Assistant working but now have a new problem, i.e. where does it save the transferred files?!! Searched a few forums and it seems it saves it under your old username, or suchlike. Anyway I tried logging on as a new user using my old user name but there were only a handful of files there, couldn't locate the majority of stuff from my old laptop. Anyway I don't intend to go through any more hoops with MA - will just save the important stuff to an external drive and transfer it that way. Not impressed with MA at all. I thought it was supposed to be a user-friendly tool to simplify the transfer from pc to Mac - not my experience, I'm afraid!

  • HT2509 Despite what this article states, Apple support told me not to try to remove any fonts as it could cause other possibly serious problems.  Is there a program which can be safely installed which will keep at the top of the font list those fonts whic

    An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book.  I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts.  Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful.  I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster.  I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere.  The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font.  Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.

    I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works!  Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear.  Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use.  You can click onto that folder to change its name.  Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted.  This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.

  • With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

    With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto.  For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include.  Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP.  So, I have to go through the export process.  It is tedious.  What am I missing?  Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

    YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
    You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
    As I sid above:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

  • I keep getting a warnin that my pages document could not be auto saved. The file has been changed by another application. Click save anyway to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the c

    I keep getting a warning stating that the document could not be auto saved in pages. The file has been changed by another application. Then it says click save any way to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes to a version.
    What in the heck does all that mean, and why are they trying to behave like a Windows product or a Microsoft office product. I just don't get it.
    Why is another application changing my documents? It's like they've created a virus within their own programs. It's a pain in the neck and makes no sense.

    I am also having the issue of a warning saying "could not be auto-saved in Pages. The file has been changed in another application. I then hit "save anyway", the warning will go away for a time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hourr, but then the warming reapprears saying the same thing. This is not the case with all Pages documents but it is the case with many.

  • Illustrator CS6 on Mac Yosemite keeps unhiding when minimizing or maximizing any other application from the dock

    I am running Adobe Illustrator CS6 on my Mac,  I just upgraded to Yosemite OS and when I have Illustrator hidden and then minimize any other application to the dock - Illustrator pops back up. The same happens when I restore/maximize any other application that is minimized in the dock - Illustrator pops back up. However, if I have Illustrator minimized to the dock (not hidden) it doesn't do it.  Illustrator is the only app that does this - Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, etc... are all fine. It's not life threatening, just annoying.  Anyone have any ideas on this?

    Odd... and you have only 1 instance of the apps (in other words you don't have Office 2008 anywhere on the system)?
    Might want to try in http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support

  • HELP! Finder and other applications keep crashing after application install

    Okay, this was probably not a good idea considering I did not read that it was only for snow leopard... but I downloaded the Metalik theme from Julien Sagot's webpage (http://juliensagot.com/). Now, when I logged out and logged back into my account, I see that Finder keeps quitting and relaunching itself. Safari and other applications do the same thing. I cannot open any files or webpages!! (I am writing this on my other computer, haha)
    What is happening!? How can I fix this and return my computer to normal?

    Boot the machine into safe mode, holding down the Shift key. If that's successful, delete the nonsensical stuff you installed and try a normal boot.

  • Keeps going back to the finder when in Firefox and other applications

    My finder keeps on going back to it when I am in other applications. The applications keep running, but are gray out and I have to click back on the page somewhere to get the application to the front again. I recently updated all my programs and applications such as itunes, etc. Please help, this is driving me crazy! I had to bring back the firefox twice just typing this little bit.

    Ok, I'm pulling this one out of memory, but if you go into your system preferences, there should be one in there for Stuffit, or something of that nature. You can turn it off in there. After you've turned off the Stuffit engine, restart your computer. That should clear up your problem.

    I have an answer to my question. There is a bug in IOS8 that prevents third party applications to talk to the Health Application. Apple is trying to fix it ASAP

  • I have a application installed in my apps folder but others users cannot see them

    I installed an app on my imac using OSX Lion. The app is in the application folder of the admin account. The other standard users cannot see the app. Is there a way that they can use the app and see it in the application folder when they log in?

    Then move it into their application folders as well.

  • How to keep screen on top of others

    Hi there,
    I'm not sure if this is posted already. If it is I apologise.
    I have a question which is to do with keeping one screen on top. By this I mean that I would like to watch a movie (keeping this on top)
    and at the same time I would like to maybe do my work, play another game or something that is multi-tasking.
    I can't stagger the windows around the screen because the screen sizes are locked... so is it possible if I can keep one screen locked on top of another? instead of staggering them around the screen?
    I hope my questions is easy to understand. I'm not usually good with technical terminology. Thank you in advance! 
    Kind Regards
    Anthony Reid

    Reply to n82phone:
    what you are telling i think is too much. I've read your requests and believe me some of them is out of context. One example is listening to radio while being on a call. Who would like to have such options?? It's ridiculous.
    But But it doesn't mean all of them are ridiculous! Just like the #1 concerning music, #4 concerning the camera and #5 concerning the volume, I strongly agree with you as it makes sense!
    So if I was to write to nokia, which I will do in the coming days is to write them again:
    Points #1,4,5,9,11,14,15,24! These are strong points!
    People out there, if you want the changes I specified to be done by nokia, you should write them the same points. If only one or two write, it's useless, they won't take it as a priority.
    Of course, don't copy paste or they will think the same person is spamming them. I hope it's clear. Write in your own words. Don't think changes will be done by magic or by doing nothing with arms folded. You should do a move.
    THIS IS A USER TO USER FORUM. YOU CAN POST YOUR PROBLEM HERE. WE'LL DISCUSS ABOUT IT, THEN ALL OF US SHOULD WRITE NOKIA TO CORRECT THE MATTER IF IT CONCERNS FIRMWARE. FOLLOW THE LINK "CONTACT US > CALL OR EMAIL NOKIA CARE" TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO NOKIA.
