  • Can't move window whose top bar is off screen

    I have a window whose top bar is off the screen. The window is a preferences window. Because part of the window is off the screen, I can't properly set the preferences. The program is Quicksilver, but this is a general problem in Mac OSX and I would like a solution for the general problem.
    The window got offscreen when I detached an external monitor from my laptop. The window moved from the external screen to my computer's screen, but it moved above the screen. I can see the window in expose, and the bottom of the window normally.
    Because the top of the window is above the screen, I am not able to move it. There is no option to maximize the window in the menu bar's "window" setting -- only minimize and close. If I close the window and reopen it, it reopens in the same place.
    The general solution on the internet is to use an applescript to move the first window of the first process, but possibly because this window is a preferences window, the applescript does not work.
    Is there a way, any way, in mac os x to move any window that is not to drag the top bar? I'm getting really frustrated at this stuck window.

    One thing that works sometimes is to change the resolution on your monitor. That might put the window where you can reposition it, then you can put the resolution back where you like it.

  • Keeping a window on top using JNI.

    Hi,
    We would like to keep a java JFrame as the top window on the screen.
    There is plenty of discussion regarding the fact that it's not possible without a native call which I accept (there is a price to pay for system independence). BUT, in my situation this isn't an issue, because it will always run on Windows.
    So... my question is how do you use the JNI to keep a window on top? I've never used JNI, so from the top please... ... ...
    Thanks in advance

  • Acrobat 9.5 pro keeps opening Windows installation window when clicked on icon.

    Opens normally PDF documents. And the fix is ...?

    Hi Ajlan,
    OK, it's odd, Acrobat launches normally only from its folder.
    Any new shortcut created either on Start or Task bar opens Windows
    installation window but the one on Desktop is OK.
    Unfortunately I don't use Desktop shortcuts.

  • Firefox keeps opening window after window on it's own

    Very often, when I try to run my firefox to explore various websites, it will suddenly start jumping to a different site. If I hit the back button, it goes back to where I was, and immediately jumps forward again. If I close the browser, a new one opens up...sometimes three or four windows at a time. I am currently using a Windows 7 machine, but it also occurred on my Windows XP computer. This has happened on 2 machines, both connected and disconnected from my wireless network, and with differing softwares loaded on each. Therefore, I firmly believe it must be something wrong with the software itself.

    You may have a content type incorrectly set to "Use Firefox". This article should help - [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], start with the section "Change the action for a content type".

  • Keep Terminal window on top (in foreground)

    All these years of using Terminal, and I haven't figured this out. Is there a way to keep the Terminal window(s) on top of all other windows?
    Or, is there a third-party term app which will do this for me?
    Many thanks!
    Matt

    Thanks Camelot - that does help some.
    Here's what I'm trying to do. And I'll preface by saying that it's a 12" Powerbook without an external display. Let's say I have an O'Reilly tutorial page in Safari that I have pretty much full-screen. My Terminal window is covering the top right part of this page, and is transparent enough that I can see the web page through it. I would like to be able to scroll through the webpage, but keep the Terminal window in view, and easily mouse over to it and keep working there.
    In other words, when Terminal is in focus, I can still see Safari, but when Safari is in focus, I can't see Terminal. (I know, I could make the Safari window smaller, but not all web pages will be readable that way)
    Focus-follows-mouse only works for multiple Terminal windows; and you do have to mouse over the title bar of the appropriate window for it to have effect. I did find another utility, Mondo Mouse, which works for any applications, and isn't limited to mousing over the title bar (you can mouse over any part of any window to bring it into focus), but again, you do have to mouse over a visible part of the Terminal window. Meaning that I'd have to mouse all the way off the edge of the Safari screen to see my Terminal again. So it's almost the solution I need, but not quite.
    I suspect that I'm just working in an inefficient way (that Aqua doesn't really support) and trying to find utilites which will work that way - it's possible that going to X11 for these Unix sessions would give me what I'm after, I guess.
    I know that certain utilities have a "Stay on top" feature, but I can't work out if that's something built into the binary that I won't have access to, or if it's a windowing preference that I can somehow hack, with a "defaults write" command or some such.

  • The right-mouse-click dropdown on links in FF4.00 has swapped the positions of 'open link in new tab' & 'open link in new window'. This is infuriating as I keep opening windows when I want tabs. I want to swap back - how?

    Please swap them back!

    the user cor-el has a method that does not require any add-ons. He States
    This code in userChrome.css will move "Open Link in New Window" to the top of the context menu.
    <pre>@namespace url("<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul</a>"); /* only needed once */
    #contentAreaContextMenu &gt; * { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2; }
    #context-openlink { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important; }</pre>
    the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
    1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
    2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
    3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
    4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
    5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
    I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

  • Keep safari window on top

    The BBC iPlayer can now play in a stand alone window. Is there anyway to keep this safari window always on top?

  • Since iTunes8, I can't keep movie window on top?

    I've looked several times, it's CHECKED.
    Confirmed (same, and just as before) what Im trying to launch from iTunes is categorized as a movie.
    It'll only float on top in iTunes now, as opposed to before could float anywhere?
    Restarted, rebooted, etc etc, same same.
    HALP

    ok, so oddly enough. right after my post itunes seemed to fix itself. the window is now on top of everything, there was no update or anything, it just fixed itself. i'm guessing it's just a "0.0" bug and i assume that they'll fix it in the next update....
    on the same note: when itunes goes to the next video on the playlist, it resizes to the original file size and centers the video window in the middle of the screen and i have to move it to it's corner and resize it which brings me to another glitch/feature.
    when i resize the window, itunes no longer stops me from resizing outside the screen! i'll grab a corner and drag it to the edge of my screen and continue on outside the screen! it doesnt stop at the edge anymore so now it takes alot more effort to resize the window!!! anyone else experiencing this? its really odd that i can pull a corner beyond my screen realestate....

  • Keep window on top

    There used to be a plugin called Afloat that woulkd let you keep a window on top of the others but I can't get it work in 10.10 Yosemite.  Is there a new version or another similar program?

    Not in QT Player, but here's a nifty trick using Stickies:
    Launch Applications/Stickies, create a new note, then with that note active, select "Note > Floating Window".
    Now locate the QT mov you wish to view and drag/drop it on the floating Sticky note. Stickies will ask you if you want to Copy or Alias the mov- select "Alias". This will create a pointer to the original mov (smaller) instead of copying it holus bolus into the sticky. Note if you move the original mov file, you'll break the alias.
    Back in the sticky, drag the grab handle in the bottom right-hand corner to resize the note so you can see all the mov and the controller bar. For some reason, Stickies will scale a mov to fit a note on the X plane (horizontal) but not the Y plane (vertical) until it's at 100% size. It won't scale up from 100%.
    If the floating sticky mov is too big at 100% for your display size, there are 2 possible workarounds:
    a) In Stickies, make the mov note active and select "Note > Translucent Window". This will make the note (and the mov) "see through" so you can see other stuff underneath it, even while the mov plays, or;
    b) If you have a QT Pro Key, open the mov in QT Player before you drag/drop into Stickies, set it to view at half size (or whatever) then "File > Save As…" allowing dependencies. This will create a small reference mov that points to the original, maintaining the smaller viewing size (again, if you move the original, you'll break the reference). Now drag/drop that reference mov into the Sticky note as above and the mov will display at the smaller size.
    Hope that all makes sense. No clue how you'd do something similar on Windows.

  • Top bar of documents behind control panel bar

    My documents always open with the top bar behind the control panel and I'm constantly having to go outside of InDesign to move it down and resize the window.  Is there any way to prevent the document, mainly the top bar where one moves the document, from sliding behind the control panel bar.  Or can the control panel be put on the side?   Thanks  michelle

    You can use the Application frame feature. You'll find it under the Window menu, close to the bottom. If your an old Mac user and you hate that (many do) it's easy to reset the document by using the arrange documents icon in the applications bar. choose the option to consolidate All.

  • My macbook air keeps opening ad websites without my permission. I've removed all website data various times which hasn't worked. this is making it very difficult for me to browse. please help?

    I'm scared i have a virus. safari keeps opening windows/tabs without my permission. these are normally ads. i have removed website data various times which hasn't worked.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Before I updated to ios5 there was a "number" on the task bar next to bookmarks showing all the windows I like to keep open. Now I can't find the setting to go back to that feature. Help!! I just want to be able to click on the number to get to my windows

    Before I updated to ios5  there was a number lit up on the task bar (next to bookmarks) which were all the windows I like to keep open. Now, after updating I can't find that feature in settings. I don't like all the different tabs along the top. Can anyone help me please?? I just want to click on the number and have all of my open windows there!

    I don't think that is an option. iOS 5 new features is tabbed browsing, it replaced the old window interface.

  • I cannot get the info bar (not the dock) on the top of my screen to permanently appear without my having to put the cursor on top of screen. Then it appears. Don't even know what that is called...above the open window.

    How do I get the area above the open window to display information (as in closing that specific window, "Safari  File Edit View History, etc.) without having to attempt to put the cursor on it to give me that info? I am not referring to the dock which is at the bottom of my screen. Although,It too, is not  visible.
    They were both visible before today.
    Sorry, but I have no clue as to what this topic should be.

    When you do Safari to it's maximum size on the screen (with the two little arrows in the Safari top menu bar on the right), Safari will take the whole screen including the top Apple menubar. In that menubar is the same set of little arrows to bring Safari back to it's previous size (which you can set by moving it's borders), you bring the Apple menubar in sight by moving the mousepointer to the top of the screen, when you do not want to loose that apple menubar, you can set Safari as bog as you can by moving its borders but just until below the apple menubar. Don't touch the little arrows in Safari menubar.
