Locking the window after maximizing it

Hi ,
I am a Mac user for about 2 years and I like it a lot and I 'm happy with it.
However , the only thing bothers me ,is that I can not lock the window after maximizing it like in PC Windows. So when I click on the window by inadvertence, it moves and I have to fit it to full frame manually each time.
Is there any solution for this or maybe the OSX application is done like that and we have to use it as is?
Any help would be much appreciated.

There is no maximize in Mac OS X that is the same as in Windows (window takes over the screen). The little green button at the top left makes the window as large as possible, based on the content of the window and the size of your screen. If you move such a window, clicking it again will move it back into a fully viewable position.

  • Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)?

    Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)? I am looking to give ipads to contestant participants and need a way to automatically lock the device once the set duration (measured in days, weeks, months or years) is complete. Does anyone know of an iPad app that locks the device after a period longer than 24 hours (ike most parental control apps)??
    Thanks for any help!!

    It's called "SelfControl". It can be a little hard to learn to use but it's worth the effort.

    How to keep the Labels and text boxes same size when the window is maximized to fit the screen.Either : By using a suitable LayoutManager other than GridLayout.
    Or: Enclose each label and text box (what the heck is a text box?) in a container with a suitable layout manager and arrange those containers in a GridLayout (or any other layout).

    Hi Dirk,
    We have solved similar business case using authorizations.  Please, ask your role admin to check authorization objects P_TRVAL and F_TRAVL and simply restrict user actions for approved trips.

  • Ready to take a swandive out the window after my computer!!!  Please help!!

    I am going nuts. I got an iPod Nano today, and being as I already had the iPod shuffle, I thought I could just hook it up and fly at 'er. But no... I am ready to pitch the computer out the window. I am given a message when I hook the nano up that I need to update to iTunes7. All well and good, I follow through with what I think are the necessary steps. I go to the site, and click on download now, and no downloading occurs, but a thanks for downloading sign pops up on the next page. What am I doing wrong? I have been here for over six hours, and I'm so frustrated. Please help!!

    I had the problem, too. First, make sure all of your pop-up blockers are off. One time I tried downloading it and it went straight to the "Thank You" page, but with no box saying to Run or Save As. After I checked my pop-up blocker, I noticed the box had been blocked. When I turned it off, it worked fine.
    Since I'm having other problems, I've had to uninstall and reinstall iTunes and QT about 7 or 8 times now (still having stupid problems though). The second time the same thing happened..it went straight to the "Thank You" page. My pop-up blocker was turned off, so I just hit the back button, refreshed the page, and tried again. It took a couple of times, but eventually the box popped up to download the new iTunes.
    I hope this will help you. :o) I'm off to try and fix my problem now. I've been working on it for 4 days now. I might just take that swandive out the windown with you! Haha :o)

  • Has anyone else had the problem where Siri on iOS 6 locks the phone after sending a text using a Bluetooth headset.   I have the auto lock turned off but I have had it happen many times.

    Siri is locking  my iPhone 5 running ios6 after sending a text message using my Jawbone icon HD Bluetooth earpiece.  Sometimes it will lock before the text is even sent. I have the auto lock turned off.

    I have this problem too. Auto lock is off and Siri can be used from the lock screen but this defeats the purpose of hands free usage for example when you are on a bicycle and can't use the phone normally. After sending a message or a reply to one Siri locks the phone and you cannot hear new messages until you unlock the phone which can be potentially dangerous!
    I'd love to see if there is a solution as I can't see any option in settings (either Siri settings or pass lock settings) to fix this.

  • Is it possible to lock the Asset after capitalization - GR Posting done

    Hi,
    The Fund Reservation configuration containing with Fund, Fund Centre & Commitment Item is linked with Asset at the time of creation of PR.
    If we change the asset in PR, the new Commitment Item is showing after GR posting.
    At the same time old commitment item is showing through Invoice Posting.
    Is it possible GR reversal after capitalization of Asset ? 
    Invoice raised through FB60 not MIRO.  Hence, Invoice No. details are not shown in PO History.  Payment made and the capitalization impact shown in the Asset Master also.
    Please confirm the following:
    If the open GR (capitalized) in PO - Is it possible to lock the relevant Asset?
    If the open GR (capitalized) in PO - Is it possible to block the PO?
    Expecting few valuable guidelines from MM forum.
    Regards,

  • Why does the flash video have much higher contrast when the window is maximized?

    When using Mozilla Firefox, any flash videos like those on youtube, when maximized, shows much higher contrast. The video becomes so dark that it is pretty difficult to view it. When zoomed out, everything looks normal.
    The work around I ended up using, was to maximize the window using ctrl++ option without using the "fullscreen" button. It is a hassle, but it works. Does anyone know why this happens?
    I use Mozilla FF 19.0.2. Btw, this doesn't happen on Chrome or IE.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]

  • Firefox window becomes invisible when I try to restore the window size (maximized works fine)

    When I start Firefox the window is invisible. Maximizing it works, but when I try to restore it to the previous size it becomes invisible again.
    I've had this problem with other applications and then it was the stored window position that had become corrupted.
    I've looked in the registry to see if the window position is stored there, but couldn't find it there.

    Good, I guess there must have been at least an edge visible.
    Anyway the KB article also now has a better description for manually moving / resizing by first invoking "Alt+Spacebar" (Windows shortcut), thanks to your question.
    I just realized you said you clicked on the taskbar icon, that choice does not appear to be possible in Windows 7 but "Alt+Spacebar" still works.

  • Closing the window after the video is complete.

    I'm obviously new to this, so please excuse the simple
    questions.... I need for the SWF files to actually close the window
    when they are complete, however, I get the following message when
    the video is finished.
    The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the tab.
    Do you want to close this tab?
    Is there anyway that I can have it bypass this step? If so,
    it would make things a lot easier for me.
    Thanks in advance!!!!

    Hi FacilityDude
    This happens normally in IE, when you have simply opened the
    movie inside its own browser instance. There is a way that may work
    to prevent it from occurring by tricking the browser into thinking
    the movie trying to close the instance was actually what opened it
    in the first place. Essentially you would insert a piece of
    JavaScript and use that to close the browser. Keep in mind it's a
    bit involved. You have to be using .SWF output (won't work if you
    produce .EXE output) And you have to futz with JavaScript.
    Before we do that, I have a question for you. How are you
    planning to deploy? I ask because I think that if you set things up
    properly with the way you link to your movies for your users, you
    won't encounter the prompt. So it would be silly to go futzing
    about looking for other ways to overcome an apparent browser
    limitation if it could be prevented altogether by simply being a
    bit picky with how you create the links to your movies.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Automatically Lock the Computer After a Specified Timeout Value

    Is there any way to set a Win 7 box to automatically lock after a set timeout value with either GPO or the registry
    without having to enable a screensaver? All my searching has come up with using the screensaver to accomplish this. We do not use a screensaver but instead turn the monitors off, screensavers are so 90's. Thanks.
