Moving windows without the use of a mouse

Is it possible to move windows around the screen without using a mouse? I mostly use keyboard shortcuts to navigate around, but if a new window opens on top of a previous one and I need to be able to view both, I find myself reaching for the mouse. Is there an alernative?
Thanks in advance!

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Finder"
set bounds of window 1 to {55, 278, 837, 696}
end tell
You can use the Command+Tab shortcut to navigate to the Script Editor and Command+R to run the script. The four numbers refer to the corners of the window, with the first pair being the location of the upper left corner and the second pair the lower right. Many applications use the same syntax for moving windows.

  • Why does this forum open in a window without the menu bar ?

    When coming to this forum trough the " Access the Java Studio Creator Community Forum" link on the "Java Studio Creator Forums" page, it opens a browser window without the menu bar. I understand that Sun thinks it's better for me not to have the menu bar, but I personally prefer to have it. What I prefer over everything else is to have the choice.
    By the way, one of the reason I prefer Sun products over Microsoft products is that I generally can choose what is better for me. Like to have or have not a menu bar, or to have my IDE in english rather that in french. (By the way, this last issue has been solved ;-))

    Use this direct URL, you can have the menu bar still --

  • HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

    Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean!  When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message:  "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

    Thanks so much Terence.  I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

    That worked like a charm.  I really appreciate it. 

  • Image swipe on iBooks without the use of iBooks Author

    Im working on an e-book using calibre and dreamW. It contains lots of pictures. What i want to do is tap on one picture, make it pop at you (make it larger, just like it does when you tap on an image) but then from that be able to swipe to the next image, swipe back and so on. I manage to use JavaScript and make it happen in html, but not in xhtml...
    So i would really like to know before going any further, Is this action possible for iBooks without the use of ibooks Author?? in other words: Does iBooks allow the swiping gesture to see images within the normal swiping of the page
    Any thoughts, ideas? thanks!

    If you're looking to trap the swipe gesture and take some custom action with it, yes, it's easily doable within a hand-coded ePub and iBooks. We do it in our books to suppress the normal page turn response on certain controls. Trap the move event, act on it, and preventdefault.

  • Red Hat Cluster Suite without the use of RAC

    Hi,
    I want to install Oracle 9i/10g database on two nodes in linux redhat AS 3. I want to use Red Hat Cluster Suite for clustering and failover the Oracle db without the use of RAC. Is it possible and would it be sufficient enough ? Does Red Hat Cluster Suite support with Oracle 10g or just 9i ? With Red HAt Cluster Suite, would it require to have one virtual IP ?
    Thanks

    If you want failover all you need is a dataguard solution and skip out on cluster suite.
    If you want Distributed Database then you need RAC.. You can't implement a 9i/10g cluster per say by using an OS solution vs an Oracle solution.
    Node A - Primary
    Node B - Secondary
    Node A -> B (DataGuard redo replication)
    Process Management scripts to switch users from A to B and vice versa pending recovery of instances. Cluster suite has no involvement outside of what may be nice nice system management capability.

  • HT1766 Is there way of accessing your back up data without the use of an i-phone?

    Is there a way of accessing your back up data from the computor without the use of an i-phone?

    If it wasnt activated prior icloud wont help now. Did you ever use the save and print option to "send it itunes"?  I did that all the time prior to icloud to back up my docs. Then you can "copy from itunes" in the new document dialog.
    I still recommend doing the export to iTunes to create a local back up copy on ocassion.
    For future reference, To activate icloud for documents, go into the main settings app, tap icloud, then documents and data, and turn it on. Then go to the app (maybe numbers) further down the main settings list, tap it and turn on "use icloud".

  • Is there any way to connect an iPhone to an external hard drive without the use of a computer?

    Hello All,
    I am planning to travel to Central America, and I want to take pictures with my iPhone. I only have 8 GB memory, so I wanted to take my 1 TB WD Mac External Hard Drive with me on the trip. Is there any way I can connect my iPhone directly to the external hard drive, without the use of a computer? Thanks in advance!

    The external hard drive has only one input port which is usb, so you can only use usb here. Also try considering online storage.

  • Running Predictive/Progresive outbound campaigns without the use of IVR

    Is it possible to run a predict/progers outbound campaign with a 3:1 (port:agent) ratio without the use of ivr
    could i instead place the customers on hold somewhere in icm while the agents are busy?
    just a thought...

    What you are asking for in essence is the ability to queue the call. This is only possible in an ICM environment with an IVR or with some other peripheral integration utilizing the Service Control interface.

    I used Altavista and found one example, how does it look?
    DECLARE
      /* there is no built array in oracle, you must declare
      your own */
      TYPE Numarray IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
      /* the array of numbers - using assoc array because I can start
      with zero like traditional arrays */
      Nums Numarray;
      n NUMBER := 0;
      Temp NUMBER;
    BEGIN
      /* load up the array, put 20 random values in the array,
      in array indicies 0 to 19 */
      FOR i IN 0 .. 19
       LOOP
        Nums(i) :=  Round(Dbms_Random.Value(1, 1000));
      END LOOP;
      /* get the array size */
      n :=  Nums.Count();
      /* display the unsorted values - loop through the whole array and
      print out the values */
      Dbms_Output.Put_Line('unsorted:');
      FOR i IN Nums.First .. Nums.Last LOOP
        Dbms_Output.Put_Line(Nums(i));
      END LOOP;
      /* bubble sort - using two loops, compare each value with the one
      after it
      if the one after the current one is smaller , then
      switch their locations in the array, this is just like standard
      bubble sorts
      in other languages. The only real diff is the syntax.
      FOR i IN 0 .. n - 1 LOOP
        FOR j IN 0 .. n - (i + 1) - 1 LOOP
          IF (Nums(j) > Nums(j + 1)) THEN
            Temp := Nums(j);
            Nums(j) :=  Nums(j + 1);
            Nums(j + 1) :=  Temp;
          END IF;
        END LOOP;
      END LOOP;
      /* display the values sorted */
      Dbms_Output.Put_Line('sorted');
      FOR i IN Nums.First .. Nums.Last LOOP
        Dbms_Output.Put_Line(Chr(9) || Nums(i));

    */In the code the first comment is wrong actually i think, that one:
    "there is no built array in oracle, you must declare your own"
    I remember there were some system collection-types, if i'm not mixing with something, i remember there was some kind of such but they were un-documented ones, so we can juridically say that the comment in the code was still correct.

I ordered a hp3050a which meets the spec....but it requires that the cd be used for see . this is fine for the initial set up but how do I fix or reconfigure if I do not have a computer?

  • How to install windows without the cd drive?

    Hello,
    I have a 2009 iMac that I want to install Windows 7 on. I have both a Windows 7 iso and a Windows 7 DVD. However, my cd drive is a mess, and upon trying to install Windows 7 from the DVD, the installation failed miserably 3 times at expanding windows files 0%. From there it just freezes for more than an hour and then gives me an error.
    Now, my Bootcamp Assistant has an option to create a windows 7 install disk, but unfortunately it is greyed out.
    My question to you guys: Is it possible to install Windows 7 on the iMac without using the cd drive?
    I am using Lion, if that is helpful. Also, the Windows 7 DVD works fine, as I have already installed Windows on my 2011 iMac from it.
    Thanks!

    I'm in a similar situation. Attending an online university and I need to use Access. But of course, Microsoft doesn't make a Mac version. I can get Windows through the university discount program, but only as a downloadable .iso file and a verification key. My drive works fine, I just don't have an actual CD/DVD to put in there.

  • Creating a Window without the title or decor bar

    I need help creating a window that does not have a frame essentially. Basically, I need to create a pop-up menu looking app without actually using the pop-up menu available. If anyone can help or needs more information please let me know. Thanks all.....

    or just use this:
    class className extends JWindow {
    // create any componants here
    // add them to the JWindow getContentPane().add(Componant c);
    setSize(int w, int h);
    setVisible(boolean b);

  • HT4112 how does one navigate with out the use of a mouse? do we still need to use finger to move to different things?

    how does one navigate the keyboard without a mouse. Do we still use finger to move from place to place?

    Yes you still need to use your finger to do all of the things that you need to use it for even if you use a wireless keyboard. You are merely adding a larger more robust keyboard to the device. You are not replacing the touch gestures features with the use of an external keyboard.
