Maximize Windows using the Application Switcher

I have my application switcher set to activate when I click the ball on the Mighty Mouse. However if the application I switch to is minimized in the dock, it doesn't maximize it for me. Wondering if anyone would know of a fix for this?

I've been looking everywhere for a way to change this, or at least disable the shortcut. I have the same problem, but with QuarkXPress. I know that the command originates from the Dock, so I bet there's a way to hack the Dock so it disbles the shortcut...

  • Using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, once I have Firefox open, I can no longer open a new window using the start button. How do I fix?

    As I stated, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have installed Firefox 5. I sometimes like to have multiple windows of the browser open. But, unlike any previous version of Firefox, now when I have the browser open, when I try to open a new window using the Start menu, it will not open one. I have to use Ctrl+N. Why did this change?
    This may seem insignificant but it really hampers my work flow. For one, with other applications, Shift+N is what opens a new window. For two, I've been doing with with my browsers for years now and it's like second nature for me - having to remember that in Firefox it's Ctrl+N is a pain in my tuccus.
    Firefox is my go to browser and I would like it to stay that way. Please find the solution for me! I have tried looking using Tools, Options, as well as looking at my start menu and taskbar options, and no dice.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When I view application windows, but then cancel from this view I am moved to another open window from the application on a different desktop space. How can I prevent this from happening?

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm new to Mac, and I'm a bit unsure of how to handle a problem I'm having with application windows.
    Here's the scenario:
    On one space I have a bunch of PDF's open in Preview next to the document I am working on. On another space, I might have an unrelated PDF open and an image, also open in Preview. Now, say I use the Application Windows button to view all my open PDF's on the first space, but then discover I haven't got the PDF open, so I need to open in in finder. The moment I quit out of the Application Windows view I am transported to another desktop containing an open Preview window! This happens with other applications too, like if I trigger application windows on pages instead of preview and need to cancel, I get transported off to some other open pages document.
    This is insanely infuriating, how can I stop it!
    Thanks for your time.

  • After installing an application that was created using the Application Builder

    After installing an application that I created using the Application Builder I get this error if I try to run " ANY " LabVIEW App's that I have built. "Executable Version 7.1.1 doesn't match Resource File 7.1. Check your configuration."
    The way that I tried to fix this is to reload LabVIEW 7.1 and DAQmx 8.0. I am using two NI-6528 switch cards.
    After I reload LabVIEW and DAQmx I can run my applications but as soon as I install one on this development machine the error begins again.
    The executable that I built works fine on the development machine and any other machine that I try it on but it appears that the Run-Time engine 7.1 becomes corrupt after I run setup.exe for the newly created application.
    I have built numerous Installers, setup.exe's in the past without this error. Just this latest one caused this problem to start.
    I can NOT upgrade to 7.1.1. I am doing work for many different sections of this factory and I can not force them to upgrade. I've asked. Others supply code for the same machines using LabVIEW 7.1.
    I am stuck creating executables and manualing moving the correct files to the target machines.
    What can be done?

    No. The KB article was talking about a machine with 7.1.1 installed. I have LabVIEW 7.1 installed.
    The machine that I am having trouble with is my development machine. LabVIEW 7.1, DAQmx 8.0.
    If I build the executable all is fine. I can still run old executables including the one I just built.
    If I create the installer all is fine. I can still run old executables including the one I just built.
    When I install the app on my development machine the corruption occurs. I can " NOT " run old executables including the one I just built. The subject error pops up.
    I have not moved any executables to the other machines yet. I don't want to corrupt others.

    Why can't i access or click on the menu options at the top of ANY web page? Also, Can't close a moddle window using the x in the upper right,?

    Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • Is it possible to use the same Switch for two different clusters.

    Yes.  Technically there will not be any conflict as long as the private addresses used by the 2 clusters do not collide, and provided that the switch's port capacity and bandwidth will not be exceeded.
    Your NA (netadmin) can also configure the switch to separate the 2 Interconnects from one another (called partitioning when using Infiniband) - if the switch supports such features.
    A major consideration is not to make the switch, public. That typically cause a range of problems and can have a serious impact on an Interconnect. But using 2 private networks on the same infrastructure should not have the same problems - if configured and implemented correctly.

  • You don't have permission to use the application "ksfetch"

    When i finished install Google update software, It pop up "You don't have permission to use the application "ksfetch"" many times one day, I closed it, it pop up again.
    The pop up said"You don't have permission to use the application"ksfetch", For more information,contact the person who set up account"
    How can i fix it, does someone know? Thanks very much in advance.

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Changing the application switcher shortcut

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me find where or how to change the application switcher shortcut (command-tab).
    I'm using illustrator and I'm used to switching between my selection tools using command-tab. But now with OSX Leopard, every time I do that, it just switches applications.
    I've tried mac help and also have searched these forums but haven't found a similar request.
    Thanks.

  • How do I script the Application Switcher?

    I would like to write a script that brings up the application switcher, to allow its use without having to use the actual "command-tab" keyboard shortcut. This seems like a very simple thing, but I haven't been able to find any solution.
    I initially thought that I might be able to access the application switcher directly through the Finder or System Events libraries, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    Then I turned to just having applescript execute the keyboard shortcut directly. While I can do a "keystroke tab using command down", what I want is to bring the app switcher menu up and leave it. Using a keyboard, I would hit control-tab, then continue to hold command (during which time I can do things like use the arrow keys). So I thought I would have my script simulate this behavior. Unfortunately I gather that modifier keys can only be modifiers for other keys, not held alone (with a "key down command" line). Is this correct?
    Any other ideas? Ideally I want one script to bring up the app switcher (or do command-tab, with command left held) and another script to dismiss the switcher, choosing the app selected (or releasing the command key).

    While the System Events script presented here, which you've tried, and a variation of which I've used in the past, might seem worthwhile, it is actually fraught with at least two potentially dangerous gotchas.
    Problem one: Your Command key will be tied up for the duration of the script, as determined by the specified delay time, even if you dismiss the Application Switcher palette early by clicking off it. That means no use of your keyboard or mouse for the full 10 seconds (or however many seconds you specify) without the Command key acting as a modifier for whatever action you might want to take, in whatever application you're in. For example, clicking on a docked application icon during this 10-second delay will not switch to that application as you might expect, but will instead reveal its location in the Finder -- normal behavior when a docked icon is otherwise intentionally Command-clicked. Attempting to kill the script early by pressing ⌘. will only make things worse.
    Problem two: Attempting to kill the script early by pressing ⌘. might not allow the script to reach the *key up* command, which is critical. If you don't allow the script to reach the *key up* command, your Mac will remain in a state where your Command key is virtually kept held down, rendering your keyboard useless, and producing the kind of mouse weirdness described above, +even after exiting the script.+ Logging out and back in to your account does cure this condition, however. Fortunately, should this unpleasant situation arise, you can avoid the need to log out by keeping a ready-made script +saved as an application+ available in your Script menu and running it if needed:
    *tell application "System Events"*
    *key up command*
    *end tell*
    Just my 2¢... Good luck.

  • Report Generation for Excel does not work after using the Application Builder

    I have a VI that writes data to an Excel file using the Report Generation Toolkit. I recently compiled the VI into a single Application (EXE) using the Application Builder. My VI runs its tests properly, but no data is written to Excel. What could be the cause? I don't receive any error messages.

    Hi
    I usually build exe-files, which sometimes also have report functionality.
    Open the Application Builder and check the following things:
    1. Add the following vis: _Word Dynamic VIs.vi, _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi They should be located in the directory ..\LabVIEW X.X\vi.lib\addons\_office in the llbs _wordsub.llb and _exclsub.llb (report1.jpg)
    2. If you use an Installer, go to the Advanced Settings. There you can select some things to include in the Installer. Check if "NI Reports Support" is selected. (report2.jpg)
    These are the things I always do, if I need reports and I never had problems up to now. I made two screen-shots of these settings.
    Hope this helps.

    I moved my applications folder to the desktop when i first got my imac. now i want to get rid of it, but when i put it in the trash, it wont let me use the applications, even though they are in more than one folder. I am at a loss of what to do now cause i have two copies of everything. please help me figure this out.

    Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
    I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
    Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.
