Missing main Contribute Window

My main Contribute window has moved itself off to the bottom
right corner of my screen. Expose can bring it to the front but it
disappears off the side again when I click on it.
My screen is at the highest resolution already so I can't
change my resolution to make it appear.
I tried deleting the plist and that didn't help.
I also tried an applescript that will move a a safari screen
to where i want but it fails in contribute.
thanks

Ok, finally got this fixed... Using Mac OS X 10.4 but
shouldn't be any different on earlier or later revs
First, quit Contribute.
Goto this location: Hard Drive\Users\"your
username"\Library\Preferences
There is a file called "Contribute 4.1 Preferences", open it**
in a text editor (
TextWrangler is
nice, but TextEdit(located in your Applications folder) will work).
Do a search for "windowplacement". It will be under a section
called [SETTINGS].
Delete the data after the equal sign for both "windowplacement"
and "mdiwindowplacement" which is below it(see attached example
below).
Save, quit the text editor, and start up contribute... should
be fixed.
**NOTE: you may want to make a copy of the "Contribute 4.1
Preferences" file before editing it, just to be safe.

Main Mail window missing

I can not recall having done any upgrdes or installs at the time of this occurence. When launching mail the main mail window of the app. does not apear. It is listed in the menu's but will not show up when selected. I backed up my messages and deleted all the mail and still nothing. Next I reinstalled the Mail app. package, nothing. Finally I did an arcive and install of 10.4, nothing. I have the same accounts on my PBG4 and there is nothing wrong with it, there were 2000 emails in the combined 3 accounts and I have gottent that down to 400 but nothing has changed. Any thoughts or directions?

The position and size of the window is stored in the preferences file. If there is something wrong with the values stored there, that would explain the problem you’re experiencing. Proceed as follows:
1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
3. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
5. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
You may also need to re-install or re-enable any Mail plug-ins you have installed for Mail to recognize them.
6. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
7. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

HTMLLoader, main application window and scrollbars

If I instantiate HTMLLoader with "new HTMLLoader.createRootWindow()," scrollbars show up correctly when text overflows the set width and height. I can add it to the stage, but I'm still left with an empty popped up native window
If I instantiate HTMLLoader with simply "new HTMLLoader()," you can add it to the stage, but it doesn't include scrollbars when the window overflows with text.
What I want to do is incredibly simple - create a new HTMLLoader instance, have as part of my main application's stage, and get the benefit of the built-in scrollbars. Why is that so difficult?

OK - my problem with the HTML Control is I can't seem to add it to a child custom class.
i.e. - I have my main Air app and a custom class extending UIComponent. I add the custom class to the stage in the main app, and in the custom class, add an HTML Control. I'm also adding a different HTML Control to the main app.
Only the HTML in the main app actually shows up. No errors given. What am I missing here?
Main Air app mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.HTML;
var _myComp:Comp;
private function init():void {
_myComp = new Comp();
_myComp.init();
_myComp.x = 200;
_myComp.y = 200;
addChild(_myComp)
var html:HTML = new HTML();
html.htmlText = "Text on main application window"
addChild(html);
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:WindowedApplication>
Comp Class:
package {
import flash.display.Shape;
import mx.controls.HTML;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class Comp extends UIComponent {
public function Comp() {
public function init():void {
var shape:Shape = new Shape()
shape.graphics.beginFill(0,1)
shape.graphics.drawRect(0,0,200,400);
shape.graphics.endFill();
addChild(shape)
var html:HTML = new HTML();
html.htmlText = "Text Inside child component";
html.x = 200
this.addChild(html);
trace(html.htmlText)

Can't see main mail window???

Ok so I upgraded to Lion and I can launch mail and I can create and send new messages but the main mail window will never show. So I can't actually see any messages or folders or anything. I can get connectivity doctor window to show and everything connects and shows fine. If I do cmd+0 to show message viewer that won't show.
Any idea's on how I can get the main mail window to show up again?

Hi Garrett,
Thanks for your post. This helped me where Applecare could not.
I had the same problem as you after migrating my system from Snow Leopard to Lion via a Timemachine back-up.
I suspected that your solution could help me, but unfortunately in Lion there is no longer a visible ~/Library in the home folder.
I noticed that there was a new and unexpected "folder" in the sidebar of the normal folder pain view. This object was a sprocket (like the one next to the inteligent folders in "Mail"). I klicked on it and got a search result of items from my missing "Mail" file structure as if I had used Spotlight to search for them. By going a few levels up the file path I was in the invisable ~/Library folder with the /Mail folder visible. I trashed the entire /V2 folder (which was a mistake because all of my old emails are now gone) and restarted "Mail". "Mail" is now working as expected.
Thanks.
I hope that this may help enyone having this problem with a migration to Lion

Main view window locked on 'one pic at a time'???

My main view window ... somehow I locked it into displaying only one-pic-at-a-time. Can't seem to get back to the library mode, or whatever it might be called, when I can see all the pics in the folder at the same time. I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the view mode. And the scaling control, bottom right, has disappeared (or I've somehow disappeared it).
Any help would be most appreciated...
Ben

Thank you Ian,
Aie yie yie. I cycled through the V yesterday ... and somehow never got to that thumbnail view (go figure). But it worked first try this morning. Maybe my Mac was tired yesterday, like me.
Much appreciated,
Ben

Delete button in main Mail window doesn't seem to work with update to 10.5.

Hi, I just upgraded to OSX 10.5.8 and now the delete button in the main mail window does not seem to be working. The other buttons work, and if you hit the delete key that works. The delete button at the top of a message window also seems to continue to work. This is strange behavior. I will try to reboot again to see if that helps.

I am seeing the same issue. Very annoying. Tried resetting the toolbar too - did not work. Any help Apple?

Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under)

Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under) every time TheBlaze.com is visited.
ENVIRONMENT
Win7 SP1
Firefox 34.0 (Pop-up windows are blocked)
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
Once the requested home page, from theBlaze.com server, is received by Firefox on your PC, your first mouse click will trigger the pop-under creation process. Pop-under ads are similar to pop-up ads, but the ad window appears hidden behind the main browser window rather than superimposed in front of it. The ad window is located in a new copy of Firefox. Additional mouse clicks may produce cumulative pop-under ad window creations. So, you may end up with multiple pop-under ad windows, each in a new copy of Firefox. According to many marketing “genius” this method of presenting unsolicited ads is much less abrasive than pop-ups used to be, and now recommend the use of pop-unders.
The HTML source file received from TheBlaze.com server contains (in clear) between line 158 and line 202 , the JavaScript code needed to generate the pop-under windows and also contain the URL of the advertiser.
Line numbers may vary from user to user, but look in the source file and locate the beginning and the end of the script at:
BEGIN ADSUPPLY →
the script is located here (approx 44 lines of code)
<!-- END ADSUPPLY →
The fact that the advertiser URL is contained in the source file indicates that, this is a well organized advertizing business. In the examined case the advertiser was "gorgonkil.com".
SOLUTIONS TO STOP POP-UNDERS
This pop-under unsolicited ad plague can originate from any Web site, not only from TheBlaze.com. This is not hidden malware, but highly visible in the HTML page received from the unscrupulous Web site. Be aware that using the “block pop-up windows” parameter in Firefox > Tools > Options > Content > will not solve this problem.
InternetExplorer 11 also falls victim of the pop-under unsolicited ads. SlimBrowser7 survives elegantly and no pop-under windows are opened.
In the proposed 2 solutions, you will need to receive a first unsolicited ad, then take note of the advertiser URL and insert it in the Win7 Firewall or in the BlockSite Firefox extension.
If the unscrupulous Web site sends a large number of new and different advertiser URLs during one browsing session, then you will need to find a more elegant solution to the problem.
WIN7 Firewall
The received ad normally contains the advertiser URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com).
The Win7 firewall has the capability to block IP addresses.
The fact that Win7 Firewall requires IP addresses be expressed in dotted-decimal notation (e.g. 172.16.254.1) makes it less attractive. But, should you decide to use the dotted-decimal notation, it should work perfectly
Block Site 1.1.8 Firefox extension
Install Firefox extension “Block Site 1.1.8”. It is working very well for me.
You need to go to Block Site “Options” and “add” the URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com) you want to block.
Once enabled, the Block Site extension will display a small window for 3-4 seconds (lower right position) every time a pop-under creation is attempted by any unscrupulous offender and the pop-under will not be created.
My own “Options” file now contains more then 18 advertiser URLs (over 3-4 months).
I have stopped visiting TheBlaze.com Web site as of yesterday.
WEB SITE REPUTATION & REVIEW SERVICE
You may obtain a reputation rating for many Web sites by installing a Fiirefox extension: Web of Trust - WOT
WOT adds intuitive traffic light-style icons next to search results and URLs to help you make informed decisions about whether to visit a site or not.
A review has been submitted to WOT (12-19-2014) pertaining to TheBlaze.com. The rating is in bright red “I don't trust” (Ads/Pop-ups).

From: new window opens behind existing window - how to modify?
I had this problem happening in Outlook.
If I tried to open an email, it would open behind the main Outlook window.
The same happened if I opened a link in the email - it would open behind the mail.
The fix that was suggested to me was so simple that I still don't believe it.
Right click on the task bar and unlock the taskbar, then lock it again.
Close down Outlook and re-start it.
Problem solved! Just dont know how or why.
Proposed as answer byalfreelandTuesday, January 08, 2013 4:52 PM
It worked for me with Win 7 and OL 2003. Why? Who cares ... It is working.
