My apps no longer remember which display to open on.

My apps no longer remember which display to open on. With Mountain Lion, once a window was set up on a particular display and the app was quitted, when reopening, it would be on the same display. Now they all seem to default to the primary display.

Hmmm; that's interesting...I haven't noticed that on my system, but I'll keep an eye out for that as well.

Application windows don't always remember which display to open on

I have a iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) with OS X Yosemite 10.10 connected to two external monitors (iMac + external screen).

Apps not remembering which display to use

I have an iMac with a secondary display. I have Thunderbird on my Secondary display at all times. When I close Thunderbird then reopen, it does not remember to open in the secondary display. How do I fix this?

See if it will reset this way.

Is it possible to have the accordian remember which pane was open when the browser jumps to a new page

I have the same accordion on all of my pages and I would like
to have the accordion maintain the same open status that the user
selected after the browser refreshes. IE. it is a 3 pane setup...
common to all pages with the same content in each pane on all
pages. The default is pane 1. If the user selects pane 2 then jumps
to a new page I would like pane 2 top be displayed on the new page,
not pane 1.
Thoughts?

V1 fusion,
Hope you feel better.... I tried this and am getting ( syntax

That seems to have corrected the url... it is now (

However it is still not picking up the pane. I am getting

Controlling which display Mail opens messages into

I am a teacher. When using an alternate display, Apple software in general, and Apple Mail specifically, tends to open in the alternate display. So if i am working on my regular display screen and showing something to my class on the alternate display screen, Mail opens the new message in the alternate display, over top of the movie or whatever the class is seeing.
There should be a preference to control this. At least Safari follows the pattern where is the current window.
Is there a fix?
Do Apple Mail software designers read this forum?

I remembered the "Force Quit" option, that worked. Disregard, no other response necessary. Thanks.

Since upgrade to os5 video files from emails can no longer be viewed, they are downloaded as before, but I am no longer asked which program to open file with. I used Azule without problems before os5' now os5 tries to open video file and stalls. Any fix

Os5 must have changed playback functionality of video files, it tries to play .wmv files, but crashes...it shows "loading", but nothing happens. Before update it would prompt me to choose an app to show the file, Azule worked great, but now it doesn't offer to chose an app.
How do I fix this?

Indeed you were right. I though that in single mode all services were not started, but apparently I was mistaken.
However, as I feared, there seemingly is no useful info in it.

Window not remembering the display it was on

Hi,
Dual Displays and Mavericks:
Before Maverick I would have certain applications like mail and the finder open on one monitor and other apps open on the other. Now with mavericks they do not remember which monitor they opened last on and stick there were I last left them. They always open open on the last display you clicked the desktop on. Any setting to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
Paul W.

I just came across a solution. I think this might work for you, even though it seems kludgy:
Your situation may vary, but I'm using a MacBook Pro with an external LCD monitor and want to use both displays, each with their own desktop space
Open Mission Control and add a desktop by moving your cursor to the top right of your display and clicking on the new window that appears from the right
You should now have 3 desktops at the top of your display when Mission Control is open
In my case, my laptop's display is Desktop 1 and my external display is Desktop 3
Now, on the dock, right click on an app you're trying to stick to a particular desktop and choose Options -> Assign to Desktop X where X is the display you want the app to stay on
In my case, I want Mail to always show up on my laptop screen, which is Desktop 1, so I choose Options -> Assign to Desktop 1. The reason I say this is kludgy is because I never use Desktop 2, but it has to exist in order for the Dock -> Options -> Assign To menu to appear. If I just have Desktop 1 and Desktop 2, that option does not exist when I right click on an app in the dock.
*UPDATE: It seems that once I perform the steps above, then close the third Desktop so my laptop is Desktop 1 and my external monitor is Desktop 2, mail will finally stick to Desktop 1 even though the option to assign Mail to a particular desktop disappears from Dock options when I right click the Mail icon. However, every time I open a new window, the sizing is off and the window is halfway off the screen. I have to maximize the app window every time I open it.

Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

Getting an app to remember which screen I want it on (multiple displays)

I'm trying to get my browser to open up on the display on the right, but it always opens on the display on the left. I move it over, but it will still go to the left. I created a new space for it while on the right, but it will still open on the left.
Any idea how to get it to remember which side I want it to open on?

I figured it out. I needed to drag the little menu bar to the other display in the settings.

ITunes Store no longer remembering apps/music already downloaded

Hi,
i've got the latest iTunes, and it occurs to me a phenomenon that itunes store previously remembers and indicate the status of apps/music already purchased.
to make myself clearer, for example i have already downloaded Whatsapp a long time ago, but now if i go to the App Store, it used to display as "purchased" or "downloaded" just beside the app icon.
Now it no longer does, applied to hundreds of apps and hundreds of songs.
Is it a bug ?

Make sure that you selected the correct iTMS country when trying to logging into your account.

Itunes app no longer showing genres or the top charts/genius bar in the top bar ... it only displays a faint music in the centre with just the search box..why? i need them back:-(

The iTunes Store listing of your podcast is simply reflecting the contents of your podcast feed. Make sure all of the content you want displayed in the iTunes Store is still contained within your feed.
Are you able to supply your feed for reference?

Make sure the mini-displayport/TB plug is fully seated. It may look fully plugged in but isn't.
Make sure the Displays system preferences has an Arrangement tab. No Arrangement means the monitor is not being detected.
Do a smc reset.
If none of this works I suggest you take it back to apple (along with your mini).

HT5622 How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account no longer exists?

How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

Yes, you will need to restore your iPad. This link will help restore from a lost passcode:

Hey there, is there an app for I tunes available which displays the song lyrics. If not it would be a good idea

If the lyrics aren't in the ID3 tags (track info) they won't display.
