Mac OS Window Menu

I'm seeing very erratic behaviour from the Mac OS default
Window nativemenu.
To keep the best user experience, I have an AIR app start
with a hidden window, which immediately opens another application
window. This is the main user interface. The hidden window creates
the application menus, and adds an entry to the Window menu. Whilst
the main user interface window is open the entry on the Window menu
works perfectly (ie. it triggers events), but once it is closed,
the entry no longer triggers events - in fact no item on the Window
menu does. This entry on the Window menu is intended to open the
main user interface window if closed, or reactivate it if not in
focus - good UI practice I imagine.
If I add the menu entry to the File menu however (not a
default menu in my solution) the events correctly occur, so I guess
the work around is to create my own Window menu, which I'll try - I
wanted to notify Adobe of this issue.

Please see here for a code sample:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=75&catid=697&threadid =1384164&enterthread=y
It's not quite the same issue, but the effects are the same.
Nothing from the eventlistener, or perhaps the eventlistener isn't
set up - is there any way to programmatically check if there is an
eventlistener on an element, in this case a menu?
Thanks,
Henry

Window menu is missing in DW CS5 Mac

I need to open the behaviors panel and I can't get to it. My window menu is missing. I have no idea how long it has been missing - I never open new panels. But, now I need it! Help! Here is a screenshot, it should be bestween Site and Help. How can it just disappear??? I have nothing in my prefs that would cause it, I've tried setting the interface with all the choices, nothing. I really need to access the behaviors.

It may not. I wish I still had my MacBook. It makes it difficult troubleshooting from a PC.
Same here. I'm always wary of offering definitive advice to Mac users until I double check my proposed advice online first.
Time for a new MacBook Pro I think :-)

Is there a way to see an organized Window Menu that indicates if a window is minimized?

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Mac OS X 10.6.5
I routinely research using tabbed browsing. Each window holds a collection of tabs related to a research resource or topic. Sometimes I minimize these on the Mac with a Command-M.
When I look at the Window menu for the application the order seems random and there is no indication of which folders are minimized or open.
One possibility would be to have a sidebar hierarchy (with search feature) that is sorted by a user's choices (e.g. all maximized windows listed separate from all minimized windows; sort by site/URL in first tab of window).
Can this also influence Command-` cycling through maximized windows?
It's probably a different topic but it would be nice to know which tab is taking a lot of processing time (Javascript, Flash, AJAX, etc.) so it could be closed for better overall performance. Similarly, finding the one tab that is outputting audio would be a help sometimes.
Searches in help forum and add-ons don't seem to respect quoted strings such as "Window menu" so it is very hard to find relevant information or plug ins.

Hi!

So you can build a URL and access Siebel with a browser and it will open directly in siebel on the oportunity, I think the Siebel Team solved this some how but I wanted to answer you since I couldn´t see you messages,
Really apreciate it!!
Kind Regards!

HT1452 I want to reset the permissions on a western digital external hard drive to work between mac and windows... How can I do this easily?

I have a MacBook Pro and have recently bought a Western Digital external hard drive. I used it on my windows laptop first and unfortunately now on the Mac it is read only. How can I set it so that I can use it successfully between the both the Mac and windows laptop?
Thanks

You will need to pull all the information off first. The formatting will erase it all.
Use Disk Utility (in Applications >> Utilities or use Spotlight to find it). On the left select your WD drive and then select the Erase tab. Where it says Format, select exFat in the drop-down menu. Next, click Erase and done. It will take approx. 5-15mins to re-format.
Cons: You will be unable to store files 4GB or larger in this format (usually only dmg/iso files or large Outlook files). Also, you will be unable to use Time Machine or other auto-backup programs.
That is not entirely correct, there is no 4G limit using exFat, FAT32 is the one with the limit.

Cd-rom for Mac and Windows

Hi there,
I want to make an hybrid cd-rom for both, Mac and Windows, and I am using the fscommand code in the first frame of my actions:
fscommand("fullscreen","false"); // returns the player to normal menu view.
fscommand("allowscale","false"); //sets the player so that the SWF file is always drawn at its original size and never scaled.
I want both commands with their properties, however the displayState property is new to me. Please, Could you help me to do the same with this?.
Of course all in AS3.
I also have a code for a button that closes the .app of the .exe:
function cerrar(e:MouseEvent):void {
fscommand("quit");
cerrar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cerrar);
Thanks in advance.

The stage displayState and scale properties are like so:
// fullscreen
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
// fullscreen with keyboard active
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
// non-fullscreen
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
Note that changing the displayState is usually done after the first frame is rendered so adding in a listener for that before changing it is a good idea. The scale and align don't require this.
e.g.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _onEF);
function _onEF(e:Event):void
     // frame has rendered, remove listener
     removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _onEF);
     // change display state
     stage.displayStage = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Speaking of align, if you use NO_SCALE and expect to resize, you'll probably want to anchor the resizing from the upper left, like so:
// top left registration
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
Otherwise upon resize the upper left pixel will actually go into negative numbers.
Scaling is:
// no scale
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
// scale to fit exactly (aspect not maintained)
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
// scale but maintain aspect:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;
Exiting a projector, still the same..
import flash.system.fscommand;
cerrar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cerrar);
function cerrar(e:MouseEvent):void
     fscommand("quit");

FF4 on Snow Leopard: Cmd-N, "New Window", doesn't open, is in Window menu, but isn't accessible. Add-ons all disabled.

I installed FF4 yesterday onto my Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Today I can't open a "new window" using either the "New Window" menu under File, or using Cmd-N. (Don't know if it would have worked yesterday - I didn't try.) I disabled all (4) of my add-ons, restarted and the new windows are still failing to open. The new windows are listed in the "Window" menu, but even using that, I can't open them. Showing all open windows, using the built-in Mac "Expose" (F9) feature also doesn't show these windows.

Well, today my New Window functionality is working fine, not fast, but it works. Nothing has changed - no new software or OS updates. Oh, well, thanks for looking at this.

Screen Share Mac and Windows

Hi,
Sometimes I'm asked to help friends and family with stuff on their computers. It would be handy if I could help them remotely but I've yet to find a way to screen share between a mac and windows machine over the internet.
Is it possible?

HI,
A Leopard 10.5 tutorial here might help...

Sharing your screen with other computer users
You can set up your computer to allow others to view your screen and control your computer. While your screen is shared with another computer, a user of the other computer sees what’s on your screen and can open, move, and close files and windows, open applications, and even restart the computer.
To set up screen sharing:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users: Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users: Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.
Click Add + at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Accounts preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list and click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen: Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password: Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.
It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.
For more information go to your Finder and click Help from the Menu Bar. Type in Screen Sharing in the search field.
I use the same instructions for screen sharing betweeen a Mac running 10.6 to a Mac running 10.5 and a Mac running 10.4, so hopefully the above instructions and links will help.

Ho do you 'un-gray' the Databases menu option in the Windows menu?

I seem to be entering a 'world of hurt' with PHP on my iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.6 with Dreamweaver CS4
Under the Windows menu the Database menu option is grayed out. How do I un-grey it?
In the Site Definition dialog box I have Server Model set to PHP MySQL and PHP appears to be running perfectly well, but Dreamweaver CS4 seems to want to stand in my way and gray out the Database menu option and I have no idea why.
I wish that software developers would implement the idea that if a menu option is grayed yo can still click on it and it will take you to a help page telling you why it is unavailable and how to make it available.
So, I guess I have one of two questions that need to be answerd (and I do not know which one to ask):
1. How do I un-gray the Database menu option.
2. Why is the Database menu option grayed-out?
I am dead in the water until I can work this one out.

I exited Dreamweaver CS4, started it again and magically the menu option was now un-grayed (nothing else, to my knowledge changed).
Now I am getting a different problem - "MySQL Error #2002 - No such file or directory".
I am opening the Database menu option, bringing up the "MySQL Connection dialog box" then I enter:
Connection name: bookstore
user name: root
Password: root
Database:
when I click on the Select...button to choose a database I get "MySQL Error #2002 - No such file or directory".
Which is it? No such file, or no such directory? If it would show me the directory it thought it was looking for then I might have a chance in Hell of working this one out!
How do iwork out which folder it is attempting to look in?

Do I need two separate licenses to be able to use Flash Builder on Mac and Windows?

Hi,
I know it has been a while since you replied to me. I tried it at the time and sadly it didnt work and I got frustrated and ignored it for a while. I have just tried what you suggested again and this is how it went:
• I have connected both the AX and iMac via ethernet cables to the O2 box.
• This time my iMac did detect the AX and it automatically opened the AirPort Utility window.
• I followed your instructions on the setting and connected it to my existing network etc.
• It asked to restart the AX.
• After a long wait this message appear:
"Airport Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting.
The settings for this Apple wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem rejoining the wireless network or finding the Apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
I tried this and now when I click Rescan in the AirPort utility it just says that it cannot detect any devices. And in the meantime the AX is still flashing orange.
Do you think that the AX is faulty. Although it was functioning perfectly in my previous flat. I just don't understand how one minute the iMac detects it and the next it doesn't even though the settings have been supposable successfully updated. Very frustrating.
Thanks for your time,
Louca

Why are files viewed in Bridge a lot brighter than Mac Finder window?

Why do my camera raw files appear a lot brighter when viewed in Adobe Bridge than when viewed in the Mac Finder Window? Like a lot brighter. I'm not really sure which is the 'correct' brightness. Thanks!

No one?
Bridge shows the raw files according to the settings you have applied in ACR or if you have not applied any it shows the default ACR settings. The finder uses the embedded jpeg preview to show the contents of the raw file.
Without a screenshot it is hard to judge your situation but also check your Camera Raw settings (under Adobe Bridge menu see camera raw prefs) and in the default image settings be sure to have the option 'apply auto tone adjustments' unchecked.

Hello Barbara,
Thank you for your answer.
I do not know how to take a screenshot.
Above I see the titles:
Adobe Elements 11 Organizer File Edit Find View Help
Import… and so is gone, the place where I could import photo’s and make albums
I can’t move the whole down or to the right.
I only can pull on the right corner beneath, but the top and the left stays on top and left.

What do you mean? Can you explain in more detail or post a screenshot? Do you mean the top of the window is caught under the menubar at the very top of the screen or that you can't see the one with File, Edit, etc?

I just moved to Mac from Windows and my desktop is still visible when I use Photoshop.

Most people who switch from Windows to Mac find it unsettling to see the desktop when they start Photoshop. This is the way Mac works and has since the beginning. What you are looking for is the Application Frame. This is a new feature in CS4. You can find it towards the bottom of the Windows menu.
If you are using a version prior to CS4 there is no Application Frame. You can change your desktop to gray; many do this; or you can hit the f Key for Maximized mode and once more for Fullscreen mode. This is the closest to the Application Frame in CS3 and earlier versions.
CS3 is the only version with the Maximized mode, but all have the Fullscreen mode.

I dont know the answer yet, but i have noted what appears to be a bug in 10.9 in how it handles folder dates. Right now i am seeing folder modified dates changing randomly ot "today" - whatever date the parent folder was opened.
In the past my folders "modified" date was always the same as the last modified date of the items within. But this only moved down ONE level - if a subfolder's entries were updated the "gradfather" folder did not update.
But now severa people are reporting random, incorrect folder dates. I hoep this will be corrected soon, but who knows?

Why does 'Minimize' and 'Zoom' appear twice in the Window menu? They appear under the rule, where all the open windows are listed.

Running FF 6.02 on Mac OS 10.6.8.
Window menu reads:
Minimize
Zoom
Minimize
Zoom
[open window 1]
[open window 2, etc.]

Thanks for your response. However, I see no mention of "layer-xxxxxx" appearing in the Window menu on the Mac menu bar in Firefox ''and'' that link says it only applies to Windows and Linux. May I ask what led you to that theory? Thanks...
