Mac File Site window always on top

I am using Dreamweaver 8.0, but have seen this exact same
issue on a Windows CS3 install and a Mac CS3 install.
I like to have the Files Window detached from the right side,
and expanded so I can see the Remote Site and Local Files lists
side by side. When I open an html file, I expect the html file to
open on top of the file list window. It works this way on some
installs, but not on others, very annoying. In the problem
installs, I must manually move the file (site) window way down to
the right to expose the html file I want to work on. Then when I
want open another html file, I have to drag it file window back up,
to see my file list, double click on the file, and then move the
file list back out of the way.
In other words, in the problem setups, the File Window is
"always on top", so it must be a preference or setting, but I
cannot figure out.
Please help me fix this annoying problem.

I'm having the exact same problem in DW CS5 now. Did you find a solution? Hitting fn+F8 isn't going to work on my iMac extended keyboard. F8 is the iTunes play pause button. Besides, having to command-tab to an app THEN hit fn+F8 just isn't going to work obviously.
I can't believe in 2010 this is broken.
Please do let me know if you found a way around it. I tried all the different layout prefabs in CS5, and without exception they all do it.

Backup with cloning software your HD to have an exact copy of it as it is.
Use this methodology to recover your partition.

How to keep window always on top?

I use afloat to keep most of the window always on top but it doesn't work for some apps like excel, textwrangler etc...
How can I make excel, textwrangler etc.. to stay on top even if I focus on some other apps?

AFAIK, you can't. When you change focus the app assumes you want to use it.

Dragging Document Windows - (Always On Top)?

PS CS4 - latest
A few times, I've dragged a document window over(on top of) a set of panels (layers,channels, etc). Once I let go of the mouse, the title bar of that window (the draggable bar) is placed behind the panels (I'm in standard screen mode). Most of the time this isn't an issue, and probably because I've never dragged a small enough document window over a panel set for this to be an issue worth asking about (all times before, the document window was wide enough to extend out behind the panel(s), so I was still able to click on the title bar. So, after moving this small window and letting go of the mouse, the title bar is completely hidden behind the panel. I know I can move the panels around and/or minimize the panels, but I'm wondering if there is a setting where you can have your document windows (always on top) of other panels?

If you loose a window behind your panels just hit the tab key which hides all tool bars and panels, drag out your window and hit tab key to make your tools/panels visible again. Panels will always be on top of windows.

Windows "Always on Top"

I am trying to get a window to "always remain on top" or float above all windows, regardless of where I click. For example, if you zoom Itunes into a smaller window, it always floats above all windows. How do I do this with other windows? It helps when working on multiple applications to keep a source document in a window "always on top" and prevented from being hidden.

Thank you. That seemed to do the trick.
Is it possible that my panels in CS3 were always floating, allowing me to prevent them from being covered? I'm just thinking that it seems odd that panels could be covered at all. You loose a lot of editing abilities when one can't see them!

Why the office windows always on top of others - how to change it back?!!

I'm using mac os x and office 2011.
Since maybe couple weeks ago (maybe after one of the office upgrades?), when I have multiple office windows opened (e.g., multiple word documents, excel, powerpoint), these windows always appear on top of others (e.g., safari, calendar) first!
Here is an example: now i'm using safari, so it's my active window. If I want to go to calendar (which is already opened), when I click the calendar window, all the office windows (which are opened as well) will jump out first!! Then I have to click the calendar again to make it become on top of the office windows. That means, whenever I want to switch to other windows while office windows are opened, I have to click all the other windows twice, because the first time I click on any other type of window, the office windows will jump out no matter what.
This is very annoying after a while. I'm not sure if I explained this clear enough. But how can I change the settings so the office windows can just not always on top of other windows??!!

Yes, I can view/hide the OSK with no problem but the keyboard, itself, changed somehow.

Firefox windows, always on top ?

Since my upgrade to Leopard my browser windows are always on top, even when I open the dashboard widgets. So I can't see half of them.
The window will be grey [inactive] but refuses to disappear to the background and make room for my desktop or whatever window I want to see. Only minimize will make it disappear. Firefox has been updated to the latest version, so that is not the problem.
Anybody ?

I've been having this problem for the last few days and it's driving me insane. I read that if you disable the 'show downloads window' in the preferences, the problem seems to go away. This is not the case for me. I have restarted, etc. but the dang thing keeps doing it and I can't figure out the trigger.
Any other ideas? I'm seriously considering switching to the 3 Beta, but I don't want to lose the few add-ons I use.
Thanks!

Mac Help windows always on top

Is there a way to turn off the Mac Help windows from always appearing on top of all other windows opened?
I thought there was an option to turn this off somewhere but I can't remember where. I checked all my settings in Cocktail and System Preferences but no such luck.

Thank you very much Baltwo.

Mac OS X Tiger: Place a software window always on top

Hi,
Is there any way possible to place a software's window (TextEdit, Captain FTP...any software) on top of other softwares. It would be really useful in web programming.
Thanks.

That would usually be dependent on the individual application offering that feature.

EDGE ANIMATE: MAC files to WINDOWS

how to open source files of the exemplars websites created using edge animate in windows? since they are probably mac!
when i unzip the files, it says that the file already exist for some folders, like images etc amd at the end load only two files named
__MACOSX and
978-1-4302-4350_SourceCode_ch01
When i try to load it directly from edge animate, nothing displays, for the zipped folder as well as for the unzipeed one.
Thankyou
link for the example site source download page:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/edge-animate/articles/showcase-sample-files.html

As a test, can you download this simple project file, unzip it and double-click the .an file? Let me know what happens?
Are you using the latest version of Edge Animate? What does it say on the splash screen when you first launch it?
Another way to open a project is to simply open Edge Animate; go to File > Open and browse to the source .html or .an file to open it. Have you tried this method with any of the sample files you noted above?
Another scenerio may be related to Windows User Accounts? Are you an administration for the two machines you mention? You may not have administrative rights to run the associative files. One option is to Right-Click on a .an project file, and from the contextual menu list there should be an option to Run as Adminsitrator? Try this option.
Last resort - uninstall from machine and reinstall from your free Adobe Creative Cloud.
Hope some of these help

Burning Mac files on Windows pc?

I am trying to backup some important files on my Mac to a DVD. Sadly, my Mac doesn't have a superdrive so I have to put the files on my windows pc. I tried to burn the files to a DVD but there is always an error. Using Nero burning software, it will freeze before all files are copied. Windows Explorer says there is an error copying files when I try to copy them to a writable cd folder. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?
I am assuming that Nero can burn a similar selection of files from the Windows PC without error?
If you haven't tried that, and you do try and get an error, it's probably a media error (a problem with the disks you are using).
Check the filenames of the files you are trying to burn only include letters and numbers and contain NO punctuation, truncate really long file names.

File Sharing With OS X 10.5 - Share Mac Files with Windows Vista

I am a new user of iMac and I was finally able to connect to my home network with the help of this web site:
http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/sharemacfilesvs.htm
Thanks to Tom Nelson of About Macs.com, I previously had to search the Apple Support pages for help with this to no avail. Then I called the Apple Express case # 232117496 and spent 1-hour on the phone with the tech who could not solve the problem. He finally said it was something to do with my Windows network setting indicating that it probably had a stealth password set. I did not agree and was finally able to get help from About.com. I will be adding this site for future issues with Macs, thanks Tom

I reset my TC and everything was wonderful.

Can't open FLA mac file on windows

I'm having trouble opening a FLA file (made on a mac
computer) on my windows computer. I use Flash 8 and when I open the
file there's a message saying "unexpected file format". The file
was also made on Flash 8, so I don't think it's a version problem.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is with the document, not the program.You can try to open the file in Preview and print from there. Otherwise, you will need to contact the creator of the document for a new version of the file.

"subroutine" priority and Window always on top

When I build my .vi into a .dll and call it from a C++ application, and run the C++ application in debugger mode, the user interface (window) of the C++ application always remains on top. I cannot switch to any windows below it (example: trying to switch to the C++ debugger in order to set a break point). This only occurs when calling my dll in the C++ app. Would a subvi that had priorities set to "subroutine" cause this? None of the other "Window Appearance" settings are set to a value that would cause this.
Thanks,
Daryl

Hello,
I am speculating here, but that does sound like the modal behavior of a LabVIEW front panel. Perhaps you can verify that none of the front panels for any of your subVIs used to create your dlls have the modal window appearance property set. Even if a front panel was set that way, I'm not sure how or why that behavior would transitively affect an application which simply uses the corresponding dll.

How can I keep a window always on top?

Im trying to have a windowed document always be on top of the main Photoshop window to use it as a guide/reference image and also for extracting colors from it. I know this is possible because I have seen it in a Youtube video.

Seems really stupid that you could only do it on Windows.
