Mixer window won't stay put w multiple monitors/screen sets

so i have 4 monitors, 3 of which are together and 1 off in another area for other stuff. this is done w 2 standard apple video (Nvivia GT120) cards and a few monitors. the middle one has a higher res than the others but not so much to need the dual dvi.
i want to display the mixer window across all 3 of my main monitors for a full overview in that particular screenset.
the PROBLEM here is that as soon as i switch to another screenset or even select that same screen set while viewing it, the mixer window snaps to allignment w the center monitor so that the left monitor has nothing on it and the right half of the mixer window has fallen off the right screen.
it works just fine when i only spread the mixer across two monitors. but even then sometimes it alligns to the center monitor after while.
is there some setting im missing here?
thanks!

Awe crap! Sorry for the repost. I was looking at the recent activity screen n didn't see my post from earlier today so I thought it didn't get posted. My bad. Apple forum newbie mistake.
But still.. What gives?

Equalizer window won't stay put in iTunes 7.7

I upgraded a secondary drive to iTunes 7.7 and now the Equalizer window continues to return to a default position every time I start up iTunes.
This has never happened with any previous version of iTunes.
I trashed all iTunes preference files but this had no effect.
So now I have to drag the Equalizer window from behind the main iTunes window every time I start iTunes.
Running 10.5.4 on a G5.
This a nuisance so I haven't upgraded my primary drive to 7.7 yet which I would like to do.
Thanks for any advice on how to resolve this.

Dear Steve Jobs,
I have come to the conclusion theat Apple don't read the forums nor do they give a flying $%#@. This issue of the dominating I-Tunes on top every 30 $%#^ing seconds drives me insane. Probably can be fixed with a single line of code. But heck after spending a small fortune on three ipod's why would Apple give a ****. Like any big corporation once they have your money and your subject to their 50 billion long pages of terms and condition, which I am 100% sure everyone reads in fine detail right to the bottom including the clause which says we now own not only your soul but that of your neighbours and children because your clicked the tick box and moved on. Best solution is use I-tunes for moving to and from your device then revert to Winamp for playback and playlists. At least it does what it's told.
Good job Apple, you developed the ipod, iphone and now the ipad but you can't fix a simple problem like this...
When you get your **** together I may consider using it as a player again.
Ciao

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached. When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached. When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds. This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

Open window is a folder named "Photos".
It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!

IPhone Snyc Problems - Corrupted files, icons won't stay put

My iPhone/iTunes is acting very screwy. I'll try to be brief.
For a while now every time I synced I would get an error saying three particular .mp3 files could not be copied because they were corrupted (although they play fine in iTunes). I would delete and reinstall those files in iTunes and I would still get the error message every sync. At the same time my iPhone hard drive was gradually filling up with content classified as "Other" to the point where I barely had room for a few songs and a movie before the iPhone was full.
So I did a complete wipe-and-reinstall of my iPhone. I thought it would fix things but now whenever I sync the home screen icons are acting goofy. No matter where I put the "Voice Memos" icon, after every sync it re-appears on my home screen. And the Weather icon is completely missing from the home screens, including the extra "overflow" home screens that you can only see in iTunes (although the app still shows up under a Spotlight search so I know its there). Also, now when I sync my music I get three NEW files that iTunes claims are corrupted and can't be synced--although the files play fine in iTunes. (Not the same three files as it was claiming before).
I've wasted a day and a half already trying to get my iPhone and iTunes to play nice. I'm about ready to chuck the iPhone out the window. Any help our suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tips. Rebooting doesn't work, have tried that.
Restoring the iPhone - ahhh what a lovely process apple have come up with here... Given I'm abroad, web access is transient at best via wifi. And I can't use the data connection with my chosen NZ provider as the phone won't stay unlocked!
Is there a way to restore the phone WITHOUT a web connection? Itunes insists it must download the software - which is a 250MB download on a platform which doesn't support resumable downloads (What is this, 1998!?)
I'm loath to do a hard restore (Turn Off, Hold Home Button down for 10 seconds, incase this breaks the phone even more).
I'll definately be having words with my local apple store when I get back - I've never ever had this much trouble doing something as simple as an unlock before.

"Fit to Window" won't stay from page to page

I just installed Firefox and can't get the amount of zoom to stay from page to page. I downloaded Default FullZoom Level but all it gives me is a list of options every time I go to a new page. I check "Fit to Window" but it won't stay and it doesn't give me the option of making it default. Thanks.

Checkout this http://forums.logitech.com/t5/G-Series-Gaming-Keyboards/G19-keeps-opening-iTunes /m-p/794559
I found out it was my keyboard's software. If you have a different keyboard it may still be the cause.
This worked for me nicely. I can close itunes whenever I want now.

Reminders Info Window Won't Stay Open

Reminder info (location, date, time) won't stay open long enough for me to input location. Winndow fades away before it can search for a location i.e. trying to input Airport but fades before I can enter airport name.

I have given up. Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 times to open the window before I can complete my short entry. I think it definetely has to do with syncing and iCloud. I wish there was a way to setup the frequency of syncs or something.
I have resorted to using notes. It syncs with iCloud, but doesn't seem to show the same quirky behavior
Reminders is SO frustrating to use on any level. It is half baked IMO, this issue, can't sort the lists, can't do a delete all for completed items.

"File Upload" window won't stay open

When you go to add an attachment/document via the "File Upload" window, you can select Photos from the Media section on the left side, then choose iPhoto library to find the pictures you want to send/upload.
My iPhoto library is pretty large - over 200GB (I take a lot of pictures!) and I can't seem to be able to use this feature. In some apps, the file upload window won't even open any more - it pops up, then closes immediately. In other apps, it just hangs.
Any suggestions (other than delete my photos, which is not an option!)
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Sorry for the delay getting back here.
I get several:
[ERROR] no photo paths dict from iPhoto DB.
then:
Mozilla has caught an Obj-C exception [NSInvalidArgumentException: * -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:isDirectory:]: nil string parameter]
What is interesting is that this was happening in every application that I tried to upload/attach files with (Mail, Safari, Firefox) but since I created the account to test with, it only happens with Firefox (at least so far - Safari and Mail are working). I still get the "[ERROR] no photo paths dict from iPhoto DB." messages from Safari but get nothing when attaching in mail.

Logic pro x mixer window freezes main out VU with dual monitors

In a dual display configuration, with the mixer window in the left monitor and arrange window in the right monitor, the VU meter on the last channel strip to the far right of the mixer window(which is usually the main output) freezes and does not update. This seems to be a Logic X bug, since it does not occour in Logic 9 or any other DAW with the same configuration.
Can anyone confirm this or have a suggestion for a solution?
Thanks in advance

They have had four years to change this, and actually people were asking for it before that. If anyone knows a way, let us know, but I doubt it. Both Logic and Cubase are the only two DAWS that don't allow this....all the majors do....Pro Tools, DP, Studio One, etc. Cubase users have been asking for it forever as well.
I would have upgraded immediately if they had added this, they haven't, and I'm moving over to PT11.

Finder Window Won't Stay Open

This started a couple days ago. When I clicked on the Documents folder in the Finder, the Finder window would close. Now, when I click on the Finder in the Dock or open a new Finder window, the window pops up for 1/2 second and then closes. The entire screen flashes when this happens. Something has gone wrong. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi Sleddaddyfro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Do you have another account you can log into?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.

Hard drive window won't stay open

When I click on my hard drive icon on the desktop, the window opens but only stays open for about 1 or 2 seconds. Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks.

Maybe the invisible .DS_Store file in the HD is corrupt.
-launch your Script Editor (Applications>AppleScript>Script Editor) and paste the (blue) code below into it
-then click Run (to delete the .DS_Store file)
do shell script "rm -fr /.DS_Store"

Help! Folder Windows won't stay open in the Finder

Please, what is causing this and how do I fix it? Some folders will not stay open in the finder. For instance, when I click on the Applications folder (either the actual or alias), the window will try to open, but before it can show its content, it disappears. This doesn't happen with all folders, only some of them. This is very disturbing.
Please help if you can.

Through the network I was able to figure out what was going on. There was a weird file, its name was made up of Chinese characters. Whenever it was supposed to show up on the screen of this one mac, the window would close. I guess that particular mac isn't set up to show those characters. I was able to trash that file and that took care of it.

Every time I reboot my computer, I lose Firefox. Safe mode window won't stay up, after a half hour or so, I usually find a way to open it, but what's causing it

When I reboot my computer, the Firefox icon is still sitting there, but will not open the program. I sometimes have luck opening from a link from another software program, but there is no logic. When I try to "Start/Run" firefox in safe mode, it still will not stay on the screen - just a brief flash. This is frustrating! This has been going on for at least a couple of months, help!

Thanks, that may be the problem ... I just have Windows Firewall, but have recently trialed Norton for about a month ... did not buy it, but it caused other issues with my computer, as well. I uninstalled it, but (for instance) my Flash kept crashing, etc.

Findow Window won't stay open

When I try to open the Mac HD via Double Click or RtClick Open, and ditto if I click the Finder icon in the doc, the Finder window appears for a fraction of a second and then closes. I went to Disk Utility and Verified Disk & Verified Permissions - returns all is OK.
I have an external drive attached and that window opens perfectly,as does my iDisk icon. However if I click on the Mac HD from within the window I open via the external drive, the window immediately closes.
How can I get the window to stay open?

The problem was that the HD was too full. As soon as I freed up some space, the window would stay open. I used the Activity Monitor to discover that my storage space was over 96% used. I deleted and transfered files to external hd and all works jes fine.

Safari window won't stay at corrected size

Every time I resize the window, when I exit Safari and reenter the window contracts back to it's original size which does not fill the entire screen. Any help on this will certainly be appreciated.

Bruce ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
Open a window. Resize it. Close that window then open a new one to test.
