Multiple windows don't work properly since v8 upgrade

I just upgraded to v8 from v6 and now I am experiencing problems working with multiple windows.
Problem 1: I will open a web page in a new window (window B) and then click back to the original window (window A) while window B continues to load. When window B finishes loading it automatically pops back to the foreground interrupting what I was doing in window A.
Problem 2: When I move to a background window (B) the image of the foreground window (A) stays on the screen, but if I roll my mouse over the window the graphics of window B appear as my mouse moves over them, but the page never fully displays properly until I click back and forth again between the windows.
Problem 3: When I close a window in the foreground there is considerable lag (2-3 seconds) before the foreground window closes and the window underneath redraws.
This happens with a variety of web sites, but is more of an issue with sites with many graphics and little text. This problem does not happen when working with multiple tabs inside the same window.
Thanks for any help!

Try out this temporary fix...

Re: Recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Hot corners and gestures from Lion aren't working. Aug 8, 2012 12:40 PM (in response to KPorton)
The only solution I have found is to open Activity Monitor.app in the Applications/Utiilties folder and search for Dock in the search area in the upper right hand corner of the Activities Monitor. When the Dock comes up select it and hit Quit Process. That will reset the dock and the hot corners will work again. They will work until they stop again. Surely there will be a real fix from Apple soon.
I tried it and it works. Much easier than rebooting. Hopefully a permanent fix will soon come from Apple.

Headphones don't work properly since installing 7

After installing version 7 in my XP desktop, I cannot get more than minimal volume on my headphones. Still works good through main speakers. Ideas?

You must verify under System Preferences/Sound that the L/R slider is centered for the Output, for external output (headphones plugged in).

Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

Hi
thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.

I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow.

FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow and never finishes loading ANY page.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Edge animations don't work properly in DPS.

I've recently update CC to the latest 2014 version and since then Edge animations don't work properly in DPS (struggle to load and play). Can anyone help?

Hi Bob,
What real details do you need? I create a digital magazine using DPS with the occasional Edge oam file inserted to lift a couple of the openers. However recently, they either stutter on loading, don't load or crash the viewer/ipad. I test them in Content viewer.
Thanks

Cookies Don't Work Properly

OK, I've looked through this Forum carefully and tried everything.... Even though cookies for certain web sites (NYTimes, WatchGeeks) appear in Safari Preferenes they don't work, Why?
My settings are as follows: Block Cookies from Third Parties, etc.; Prompt from website one time only. The NYTimes cookie indicates Cache, Cookies & Local Storage. NYT cooke indicates Cookie. But every time I go from one page to another on their site, the sign-in screen re-appears. I'm using Last Pass to sign me in and I'm good until i go to another page. Then the same thing happens. With WatchGeeks, I'm prompted to sign it every time I return to the site...same problem.
I have deleted all cookies and started over, but that doesn't solve the problerm. Safari recognizes and stores the cookies again, but they don't work properly.This all started when I started to use 'Cookie" a cookie management program. But once this started, I uninstalled "Cookie'" and removed all traces of it, to no avail.
What's wrong? Can I do something in Time Machine to get me back on track? I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!

Satellite A300-1G5 PSAG4E - Multimedia Buttons don`t work properly

My multimedia buttons don`t work properly any more. I`m talking abut the first 2 buttons (Mute and Media Player - buttons).
I just tried to reinstall VAP but it`s the same. I must say i can use Mute button but it won`t shows up that icon for mute.
The Media player button doesen`t work at all.
I just tried to search on this form for a sollution but i couldn`t find it.
All the rest of the buttons (play/pause, stop, next, previews) are working just fine.
As far as i remember 2 days ago all my multimedia buttons worked perfectly.
In this time i didn`t reinstalled OS or any other drivers.
I`m using the last version of BIOS (downloaded from toshiba website) and Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1G5 PSAG4E.
Can you give me some advices about that pls?

HT1665 Why does my ihome no longer work properly since my iPod update

My ihome no longer works properly since I updated my iPod to the most current software update. Is there a fix?

Sometimes thisworks:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However,sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you have to wait for either an iOS update or and update to the iHome firmware. Go to iHome's support site

Keyboard windows key not working properly

I am not able to navigate to start screen with regular windows key press. I need to press hard to navigate to the start screen. But other functions with windows key is working properly. For Eg: Windows Key + R is working properly with regular press. Please help.

Hello:
I do not know of a setting that would do that - especially intermittently.
I would suspect the KB is failing/has failed.

My music app on my iphone 5 is not working properly since I downloaded ios7.

The music app on my iphone 5 is not working properly since I downloaded ios7.
Sometimes I start to use the music app and then part way though a track it stops. I try to re-start it with no joy. I'm also finding the touch screen is less responsive. Can any help me fix the issue or will I need to take it into the store?

Removing the SIM has no affect on the power of the phone. It is just the part that facilitates connecting to your carrier. Try holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo on the screen and then release the buttons. The phone should reboot. You may need to hold the buttons together for 15-30 seconds.

TS3297 What do I do if music files purchased/downloaded for the iTunes store don't work properly?

What do I do if music files purchased/downloaded for the iTunes store don't work properly?

Buddhabeat...clicking on the "Report a Problem" button next to the song(s) in question, should open a drop-down list menu, that allows you to select the specific issue/area of concern that you are experiecing (or you can select a generic "My problem is not on the list" (or something to that effect). Underneath this drop-down menu box, there should be another message box where you can describe the issue/problem your having. Below this message box will be a "Submit" button...clicking on that will send your message to the Apple iTunes Store Customer Support Centre (you will see a confirmation message that your message has been sent), as well as receive an email notification from the Support Centre confirming your message has been received, a case number, and that you will receive an email response pertaining to the issue/problem you're having, from the Support Centre asap (usually within 24 hours). That's how it worked for me, anyhow.

The Proximity sensor don't work properly of ios4

hello! ive just update to ios 4 on my 3gs, and the problem is that the Proximity sensor don't work properly, when I put the iPhone near my ear it turns off the screen, but when I move it back from my ear it doesn't turn on...
i tried to restore, and at first the problem was gone, and now it's back...
is it a bug? I'm pretty sure my sensors are fine..
tnx!

I was having the same issue with my new iphone 4 with screen going dark when I lowered it during a call & not having access to the call or controls of the phone. I discovered the problem was the 3G case I was using on my iphone 4 (it happens to fit pretty well). When I removed the case the proximity sensor now seems to function properly. The 3G case must have been interfering with the sensor. I guess I'll be getting a new case. Hope this helps.

My eBay pages don't work properly. There are parts missing. The symbols on the My eBay page have gone. The £ paid sign, checkout, feedback, and probably more. I can't list an item as the submit button has disappeared. It all works fine on IE.
