My Mas Air keeps switching between applications

Anyone has this problem? Since i upgraded to Maverick, my system keeps switching between apps without any interventions, i dont even touch the laptop and it does.
Steve

I will try this cause yes I am using Google Drive. Another thing I noticed doing more test is that in fact the switch of apps that is occuring is all link to the FINDER. this is the application that goes in the back and comes back in the front of other apps all the time. I moved it to my monitor and the switch occurs there, if I close or minimize it, all is good.

  • Trouble switching between applications

    When switching between applications I have a weird problem. Intermittently the menubar for the app I'm switching from will stay but the windows for the app I'm switching to will appear like they should. Most of the only way to fix this is to kill the apps.
    Any thoughts?

    No Not using any tricky keys to switch. Applications just "lock up" like the old days. After switching apps, can't get back to an app. It is locked up in a process that ultimately results in an entire hard reset. Any one else have this happen on an iMac 2.4 intel core 2 running 10.5.2? Really weird slow behavior lately as well. Maybe there are some prefs I could dump..
    tried the disc utility thing a few times. Fonts seem to create havok so I often disable those as well.

  • My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

    My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games.  Is it hardware or software problem?

    I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers.  With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan.  Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone.  I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem.  I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

  • Switching between applications using commands, not clicks

    Using Automator, how do I switch between applications using commands, not clicking on windows? I want to copy from Safari and paste into FileMaker, along with performing other tasks. The applications are not important; it could be any. I just can't figure out how to call an application to the front using Automator.

    Automator doesn't bring applications to the front, it just uses them to perform the actions. For example, the Get Text from Webpage action uses Safari to perform it's function. I don't have FileMaker to see what actions it provides, but they would most likely do their thing using FileMaker's scripting dictionary without bringing the application to the front.

  • Switching between applications

    Is there any way you can switch between applications other than using the home button?, sorry if this is a stupid question.
    Tim

    No, unless the app is launched by the app you're in (like a link in an email opening Safari)

  • Weird window behavior when switching between applications????

    When I switch between two applications, the other window disappears. This is annoying if I am trying to copy text from say, textedit, to another application like mail or Excel. When I switch to the mail app, the textedit window disappears. And when I switch to textedit, the mail window disappears. I have to keep going to the Dock to get to the other window.
    I did not think this was always the case. Is there a setting I am missing? I really think I was able to see both a textedit window AND an Excel or Mail window at the same time. Please help

    Do you have any third-party extensions installed? I googled and found several that will perform this auto-hide action: Quitling, App Presto, AutoHide, and DragThing are some of them.

  • Switching between applications without Login

    Hi
    I have 2 Apex applications, one and each requires "login".
    Once logged in to any of those applications I want to be able to switch between those two without having to "ReLogin".
    Is this possible?
    Regars GAson

    If the applications are in the same workspace this can be done as described in thread {thread:id=515240}

  • Delay occurs when switching between applications

    System worked fine before installing Mavericks.  Now each time I switch been applications there is a 5-10 sec delay before the new application responds.  The applications don't actually hang, the system does catch up, but it makes the system unusable.
    For example, I wil have Outlook 2011 up on one monitor and Safari up on another monitor and each application will work fine and be responsive.  But when I click between the two open applications, 5-10 sec delay occurs.  During the delay, the first application continues to be responsive (will respond to mouse clicks, can type, can close, can move/resize, etc.) but the second application (the one that I'm clicking to) won't respond to anything. Evenuntaly, the system catches up and the second application becomes responsive, but the same thing occurs when switching back to the original application.
    So far, it seems to impact all applications - Office 2011, evernote, safari, webex, adobe reader, system perferences, and finder.
    Verified Disk Permissions and vefied disk - no improvement.
    Rebooted the system - no improvement.
    Ensured spotlight indexing wasn't running.
    Any suggestions?

    Apple was able to help fix this.  From what I understood, they had me delete the Apple settings files and then the operating system would recreate them - sorry, didn't note the specific directories they said to delete.  They said it was an issue caused by installing the new OS.  Deleting the files fixed the issue.

  • Flash CS3: Serious lag when Switching between Applications

    I've got a serious problem with Flash CS 3 on my Macbook Pro,
    which makes it almost unworkable.
    When I'm working in flash, switch to another application
    (Mail, Illustrator, any...) and then switch back to flash. the
    program freezes for at least 9 to 10 seconds: The Menu's are all
    transparant and greyed out, and the only thing I see is the beloved
    "beachball" spinning.
    Needless to say that this makes it very hard to work with the
    program, since switching between apps is a big part of my workflow.
    Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
    I have re-installed the whole CS3 suite (twice) and even
    cleaned up my computer and did a clean install of OS X!!
    I'm running on a 15" mac book pro (2,33) with 2gig memory,
    bought last may.
    Any help is welcome,

    I'm having the same problem as well. I was using Flash 8,
    thought I would upgrade to Flash CS3 and solve the problem but that
    was no good. There's still a long lag time when switching to Flash
    from any other program. Not sure if it's a Memory problem or a Font
    problem. Any word on a solution for this annoying problem?
    I'm running a PowerPC G5 with dual 2.0ghz processors and 2.5
    GB of ram.
    Thanks!

  • I am having trouble charging an IPad it keeps switching between two icons help!!

    Hi I have been trying to charge an IPad (not a mini) that has gone flat. However whenever I plug it in to charge it keeps flashing between the red battery screen, the one that says the IPad is dead but charging, and the start up screen with the apple icon. I have tried several different charger cables, power sources such as the computer and I switched the boxes the cables plug into however this had no effect. If anyone knows how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

  • RDS 2012 Farm with RDS 2008 R2 - Switch between applications issue.

    Hello All,
    We have setup Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS farm with two hosts and joined Windows Server 2008 R2 to the farm. We joined server 2008 to the farm becouse we require Internet explorer 9 for compatibility testing. Internet explorer 11 in emulated modes does not
    work for us. Now we seem to be facing a wierd issue.
    When switchig between RemoteAPP application from server 2012 R2 and server 2008 R2, the applicatoins don't get displayed on screen. The computers try to desplay the applicaitons but it seems that Server 2008 R2 applications win and stay on top. The applications
    are switched only with effort, 4-5 clicks on the applicaiton.
    Did anyone else expiriance similar problem. Does anyone knows a solution for this. Is there alternative aproach/solution to my problem.
    Any suggestoins are welcome.
    Thanks.
    Regards, Luka

    Hi Luka,
    When switchig between RemoteAPP application from server 2012 R2 and server 2008 R2
    Do you mean that both Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 have published remoteapp applications, and users are switching remoteapp applications from these two servers through RDWeb page?
    I suggest you try to fully patch servers and clients to see if the issue persists.
    If there are any third party software installed, please disable them temporarily to test.
    Best Regards,
    Amy

  • ADSL keeps switching between 'fast' and 'interleav...

    Hello
    I wonder if you could tell me if there is some reason why my line profile / ADSL latency keeps being switched between 'fast' and 'interleaved'. Everytime it is switched from interleaved to 'fast' I lose download speed. It has just changed again today and as a result my download speed has (according to my BT Home Hub Manager) dropped from 6.3MB (yesterday) to 3.2MB (now). Is it possible to have the line profile left as 'interleaved' so that I can enjoy the extra download speed ?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Strange Battery problem, keeps switching between 99%/100%

    My battery keeps flashing between being at 99% and 100%. The Amber/green light on the power adaptor also keeps flashing green and amber.
    What could be causing this. I have all the latests updates as far as i can tell. Anyone have any ideas?
    I also did just get my MacBook back from apple. The hard drive died and they replaced that.

    hello cameronjmulder,
    I had that problem with my macbook previously too. I searched through the forums and i found that the people who had that problem were able to get it replaced (the battery) with apple. I got my battery replaced (with a new one i believe) and it no longer does it. I don't know if there is a fix apart from simply replacing the battery
    You should either call applecare or head over to an apple store. Though depending on their supplies, you may have to leave your macbook there for a while. perhaps you can call ahead and ask.
