Keeping QT open and 'always on top'

i think this should be fairly easy for all u clever folk out there:
i am using an app, for eg. GB2, and i want to follow a tutorial for it on QT. How can i keep the QT window on top of the screen so that it does not disapear as soon as i start working on my GB2 project. Know what i mean? I think in Windows there is actually an option called 'always on top' which does just that. Any ideas?
Ta

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

AngelMunoz2011,
I am sorry to hear about your troubles with service on your phone. We definitely want to make sure that you are always receiving the best service options. What zip in general are you having the most trouble in? How many bars of signal are you typically getting?

CD/DVD drive keeps on opening and closing automatically.

Hi, I just got my computer today and hooked it up. The first time I hit the 'power' button after having everything hooked up, the CD/DVD drive started making this clunking noise and then procceded to open and close, open and close numerous times. Since it was the first time I had turned on my PC, I let it go until I had Windows set up and etc. After I had Windows set up, I restarted my computer and it did the same thing. It would make the clunking noise and on my screen there would be a blinking _ until I came to the login screen.
Anyone else have this problem with their BRAND NEW, first time turning it on, PC?

Well it just keeps getting better... the other HP, I bought does the same thing!!!! both the same model... but I bought 2, one for home and one for work..
I decided to setup the one for work at home... so I took it out of the box just now... fired it all up and lo and behold... the CD DOOR just popped open... then closed... then opened... then closed.. then finally stayed open.
I look at the post, that said maybe the "plastic front bezel" thingy was pushing against the button.. but it is not.
I removed the side panel.. then in the front, i pulled back on the 3 tabs that hold the front bezel on, and removed the bezel, then started the computer, and tada.... the door STILL OPENS AND CLOSES...
And when the door closes... the "sound" it makes, and by looking at the drive.. is like, it goes in, then makes a sound as the CD DOOR tries to come out a little bit... then goes back in, like 1/8th of an inch... then opens completely..
WEIRD...
An obivious problem with HP's choice of CD rom drive....
Anyone else???????

Aperture opens and always shows processing in the activity window

Aperture 3 opens and every time shows activity of approx 800 photos being updated in the Library

800 Images shouldn't take much more than an hour. At the same time, you should _never_ force quit a database. After any force-quit, you should at the least repair, and consider rebuilding, your database. See this Apple page for instructions.
Is there anything unusual about those 800 Images?
I suggest repairing your Library, then letting Aperture run unmolested overnight, then reboot and see if the Activity Window reports any processing. Post back.

Keeping an Open Browser Window on Top?

How to keep a newly opened Browser Window on in front/top?
My java application opens a new Browser Window. Netscape moves the new window behined the parent.

Hi yhbe!
Insert an javascript in this HTML document like this:
<script>
function autoCenter(){
     if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") >= 0)
          self.moveTo((screen.availWidth-document.body.offsetWidth)>>1, (screen.availHeight-document.body.offsetHeight)>>1);
     else
          self.moveTo((screen.availWidth-window.innerWidth)>>1, (screen.availHeight-window.innerHeight)>>1);
window.onload = autoCenter;
</script>
It causes the document to center and be topmost!
Best regards.

I just updated my Macbook pro's OS from Maverick to Yosemite...now my safari doesnt open and always quits

Macbook Pro (13inch , Mid 2012 )
processor 2.5Ghz Intel core i5
memory 4Gb 1600Mhz DDR3
OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1

See if Safari starts if you launch it while holding down the SHIFT key. If it does, it means you have some incompatible Safari extensions. While still launch via the SHIFT key method, go to Safari Preferences > Extensions tab and turn off all extensions. Then see if Safari opens normally and report what you found.
I have the same MBP as you. I upgraded to Yosemite last week and Safari works perfectly. I run no virus software or "cleaning/tuneup" utilities and have only one extension from a trusted source that keeps it updated.
You may have acquired a piece of malware from an unscrupulous download hosting site. If disabling extensions does not help, please use the instructions in this Apple article:

The inspector keeps auto opening and closing. It's making it near impossible to use firefox.

I simply cannot get the inspector to stop opening. I've tried some steps listed through other support posts regarding disabling the inspector and firebug, but neither of those worked. I'm writing this up in chrome at the moment. The only way I can stop it from doing what it's doing is by holding either Shift, Control, or Alt. I've checked to see if these keys were stuck or somehow going off on their own, but they aren't. I've even restarted my computer and this is still happening. Any help would be appreciated.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Awesome window manager: How to keep application always on top

Is it possible to keep media player applications always on top ?
Following is my current configuration.
{ rule = { class = "Vlc" },
properties = { floating = true, ontop = true } }
This is working fine whenever I start application. But problem is, if I go to full screen and come back, ontop flag is unset.
Is there anyway to fix this ?

shmibs wrote:
you could probably do something like
client.connect_signal("property::fullscreen", function(c)
if c.class == "mplayer" then
c.ontop = true
end
end)
i haven't tested this, though, so don't be surprised when it fails
This is working partially. ie, VLC is keeping ontop propery, but video is not going full screen.

My Apps wont open, and the computer (Powerbook G4) starts super slowly.

Every time I boot up, my Powerbook boots very slowly, sometime taking up to five minutes. In addition to that, I can't open any apps, except for Finder, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and the basic functional things like settings. By they won't open, I mean the icons will bounce for a while, then a box pops up that says, for example;
The application Microsoft Office Setup Assistant Quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
Click Relaunch to launch the applicationagain. Click Report to see more details, or send a report to Apple.
I really need to be able to use Microsoft word and stuff for school, and I can't afford a new computer. I'm running OS X 10.5.8
I've browsed several sites, and I tried all of the following things:
Restarting in SafeBoot mode,
Making a new admin account to see if it launched quicker/ let me open apps (It didnt),
Pressing Control + Option + P + R (it worked once, but it hasnt worked since)
Used OnyX, (which now won't open either)
I checked to see what login items I had, and there weren't any.
Please help!
Thanks,
Avery
Also, I don't have any disks for this computer on hand, as it used to be a family friends. /:

Hello Avery,
I received an email notification about this topic even though I have this forum set to not send them so I think perhaps you sent it to me deliberately hoping I might have some ideas?
First of all I think we should concentrate on your not being able run your essential apps and the crashes. The disk repaired buttons being greyed out is usually because the account trying to do it doesn't have admin privileges. It's a good idea to create a spare account that has admin privileges incase anything should ever go wrong with your default account. From your post I think you know how to create a spare account via System Prefs.
I'm not sure whether we can fix the problem but we can try to identify it at least. If you have any irreplacable data on your PowerBook I think you should back it up as a priority and if you don't have a backup drive or can't afford one at the moment then beg or borrow one.
I don't want to alarm you but if it turns out that your PowerBook is finally giving up the ghost your precious data will have at least have been backed up and ready to restore to a replacement machine. Not long ago and in good condition a 12" aluminium PB G4, which I believe was 1.33GHz, sold on eBay for £45 ($72). Early white MacBooks still pop up too and are inexpensive and faster and more RAM than PB G4 so all is not lost. If we end up having to go down that route it might come in useful to make a note of this link:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g4/index-powerbook-g4.html
Paste it into Stickies or Text Edit as they don't require a lot of system resourses so should be stable when launched. If it turns out you need to replace any components the site will have links to suppliers. Using that link you'll also be able to check the detailed specs of any second-hand Mac being sold on eBay before purchasing.
It would be useful to know exactly which PowerBook you have and how much RAM is installed. Click the Apple logo top right of screen\About this Mac\More info.
My first inclination is that it sounds like a possible RAM problem, either faulty or not enough. You have 10.5.8 installed which might be the most recent OSX that you can upgrade to which we won't know until you let me know the exact model. That the case was with my PB G4 874GHz on which I had 1Gb of RAM installed (512MB is the official maximum but 1Gb worked fine and has been stable). I should say at this point that with 1Gb of RAM it was quite spritely running OSX10.4s but started to struggle when I upgraded to 10.5s. Did you upgrade only to 10.5 only recently I wonder?
Let's try this: go to Applications\Utilities\Activity Monitor\Memory and launch a couple of an app and see how if Activity Monitor is spiking. Start with light app like Stickies. While still monitoring open and use another app, perhaps text edit. Keep them open and playback soundfile perhaps, through a little player rather than iTunes if possible. Is it overloading? Once you've checked the memory do the same for the processor and the harddrive.
I've enabled this thread to receive emails so take some notes, set to with the various things I suggested if you think they might help, and get back to me when you have something. I'm working this afternoon (it's 09.58 here in the UK) but will be around this morning, later this evening and for some of Saturday. I may of course have already given it my best shot but I'm happy to help if I can. If we don't make any progress it might be worth compiling your posts from this forum and posting in the MacBook Pro forum as there are plenty of experts in there that might be able to help more than I can.
Good luck,
K

[SOLVED] urxvt missing window decorations, always on top

Anyone know what might cause this problem? Occasionally, urxvt will open without a titlebar, it's immovable and always on top of other windows. Restarting X will typically fix the problem. I think the problem started after installing lilyterm, which also had the problem. Lilyterm has since been removed.

Thanks.
I've actually since reboot, so I can't actually confirm that this works, but I'll put a [SOLVED] up there until it happens again.

Always on Top, IS THERE A WAY!?!?!!?

I've searched through th forumns for a way that makes a window always on top, and have yet to find one.
What I have is a JFRAME that is actually a JMENU in which every everyone window in my application access the same object, the same JMENU. And the frame is seperate from any other window, sorta like a mac. But the problem is, the key accelrators like
item.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_O, Event.CTRL_MASK));
only work when the frame is in focus. So is there a way to have that frame always in focus and always on top?

Thnx, that article is helpful. Now I just need to understand the code and implement it.
Infact if this works like I'm reading, why wasn't this made a lil more known? This is like the cure for AIDS kept secret.
Do you think it would better as an interface or as an static object in the menubar?

How to get rid of the unnecessary 'Open' and 'chan...

I have just bought a 6630 model and am appalled at the software. In the past Nokia wiped the floor with Ericcson because its software was so simple and quick to use. Now I have to go through all these menus to get to what I want. For instance, why do we have to keep pressing 'Open' and 'Change' options when it is obvious we want to use these functions. Any way to customise these and turn them off?

You can most often just take the default action by pressing the "joystick" center button (without going through the menus).

Itunes keeps on opening

itunes keeps on opening and playing songs without clicking the itunes on the dock. once i stopped the song, after a few secs, it will play again. and so i tried to click quit itunes instead but still the same thing. itunes will open by itslef again and play. it keeps on and on while my mac is on. i tried to restart it, shut it down and opened after a few minutes, but it was still the same.
what will i do?
please help me!
thanks in advance!

Ok...this is happening to me too. It just started today. Usually, after my iPod opens iTunes I can just quit iTunes and it will stay closed. Today, after a few minutes I hear my iPod click a few times and then iTunes opens again on my computer.
I just want to charge my iPod. No need for the program to be open, or for the extra stress of continuing to open my iPod hard drive.
