Open apps not showing where they were positioned, after wakeup running 3 displays

I currently have an ATI 5870 and a GT120 driving 3 displays, two 24" with 1920x1080 and one 26" with 1920x1200. Every single display is attached to the Mac via DVI. The 5870 drives the 26" and one 24", the GT120 drives the other 24".
Under Lion, I get a pretty 3 display view and the whole system is working fine except for this:
When working with 3 displays, I usually have mail on the left, working in safari, iWork and other apps in the middle and iTunes on the right. When I return after a pause to my Mac, everything is asleep. I touch the keyboard to wake everything up. Now the following is happening:
As one of the 24" display is a few miliseconds faster awake then the others, it signals readyness to the Mac. At this moment I assume the Mac believes that there is only one display attached and arranges all open apps on that one display.
A few instants later, the other display also signal readyness to the Mac. But at this time, the open apps are already mixed up on that first display and when all 3 displays are running up, the view ends up with 2 displays showing desktop and one display showing all open apps. So the first thing would be to rearrange all open apps in the way I had it before.
I thought, the reason is because I use 2 different typs of displays and I made a test with only two 24" attached to the 5870. This works fine because everytime the Mac wakes up all open apps are shown where they showed up when the Mac went to sleep mode.
An other test I did was the following:
Two Original Apple Mini Display Port to dual Link DVI adapter attached to the 5870 serving the two 24" and the 26" attached to the 5870. In this configuration, I do not need the GT120. This test ended negativ, because after wakeup there was the same problem showing open apps on only 1 display.
It is hard to find similar configurations having mentioned this problem. Of course, one easy solution would be to detach the third display but this is not really an option since working is great with 3 displays especially for editing video stuff. Is there somewhere a special flag to set which says `no moving windows after wakeup` or something like that? Is anyone using 3 displays not having this problem after wakeup?
Any thougts?
Thanks

Hi there,
Reboot the computer and quickly hold
down the Command and S keys.
You'll get some Unix text on your
screen.
After that, type in: /sbin/fsck -fy
and press Return. That will check
and repair your HD.
After that you may type something
like: reboot
Post back if it does/doesn't help.

I deleted all Apps on iPad as they were associated with an out of date Apple ID and I could not update them, but the "App Store" logo still shows that there are 2 to be updated and when I go there I cannot delete. Please assist. Thanks.

Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

- If you restored the 5G frmm the iTunes backup of the 3G were th app in the iTunes library of the computer you used? They have to be.
- If yes then try again. When I first restored my iPad 4 from the iTunes backup of my iPad 1 app data did not transfer. I tried again and it did.

I upgraded to Maverick O/S and I can no longer right click on iPhoto images to find my photo files. My photo files are not where they were before upgrade.

Have you checked the sorting settings to make sure they are as you expect?

My app. not showing on App Store anymore after using In-App purchase

It's more than a week that my app is not showing in it's category, after Apple released the new version, in the new version I used In-App purchase and both In-App purchase and the new version of the app are approved by Apple but they never showed up in their category since.
It seems it's happening to the new one which was approved yesterday and is disappeared from it's category under new releases section ( posted date was correct the same day it was approved )
Does any body else has this issue ?

after Apple released the new version
Also know as an 'update'...
Looks like Apple has quietly changed the process where updated apps could be dated the day they were approved (more recent than the original release data) and show up at the top of the recently released apps all over again.
Updated apps will not appear at the top of the recently released list any longer, it seems.
If you search on your app by name, etc., it should still be there. If it is gone completely, use one of these email contacts...

BT App not showing on IPad

I have installed BT Sport on my IPad but since upgrading to ios7 I can't see it. I can open it from the App Store so I know it works but can't find it on the iPad! Any ideas?

Hi Chris0109
I have spoken to our product/technical contact for the app and they have responded with the below advice, I know you say you have already tried the power off function but might be worth another go? the product/technical team believe this is an issue with the update to IOS7 rather than the sport app.
The team have also said that other users on the apple community are experiencing similar issues after the update to IOS7, but with other apps, not BTSport.
If the user tries swiping down on their screen to bring up the spotlight search and searches for BTSport I’m sure they will find the app there, however this does not show where it exists on the device.
I’d suggest the user then tries a reset of their device by holding down the power button until the slide to power off button appears. Once powered off they should switch back on and this should hopefully then show the app.
Thanks

Any help appreciated.

If they were purchased using a different Apple ID than the one your phone is signed in to in Settings>iTunes & App Stores they won't appear until you sign into the other ID. They also won't appear if they are no longer available in the app store.

PLEASE HELP

Photobooth and iPhoto are two quite different apps with no connection between them. I'd try the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

Apps not showing in notification settings

I just bought my iPhone 6 two days ago. Running IOS 8.1.2
Why is some of my apps not showing in the notification settings.
Downloaded 15 games only 10 showing in the notification settings.
When I first download the apps and run it. It does not pop out any request to allow notification.

Is it the same apps or do they change? If it the same ones - it may be a developer issue
Do you know if an app that is not showing in the notification center of your phone shows up on someone else's iphone notification center?

HFM and Planning apps not showing up in workspace..

Hi All
We recently had the SSL certificate expired and after we renewed them, and restarted all the services, the HFM and Planning apps are not showing up in workspace Navigate->Applications. When I click on Classic Administration -> Consolidation Administration or Planning Administration , I get the following error.
"Please make sure that the Application you are trying to launch is registered with SharedServices.Shared Services must be running for the feature you are trying to access.Close the current browser window and try logging into workspace again after a little while.Contact your administrator for further information."
I also cannot open the HFM app in "Projects" in HSS, but can open Planning apps. ( not sure if that helps)
I m able to open the Planning and HFM apps using the Direct links, (not through workspace) and able to login and perform any task with in the application.
The issue looks more like workspace is not able to communicate with Foundation or shared services.
Can you tell me what would be the reason for apps not showing up in the Workspace and a possible resolution?
Thanks in Advance.
Raghu.

Hi Raghu,
I'm faced with the same problem.
If you have managed tor resolve the same, please help me with the solution.

The icons on my phone got moved around how do I get them back to where they were?, The icons on my phone got moved around how do I get them back to where they were?

For some reason the icons on my iPhone got re-arranged. Is there a way to "default" them back to where they were?
Thank you.

No,its not possible to rearrange to default where they were.
You need to re arrange them again manually.

Anyone know how to update page artwork leaving Form Fields where they were?

I set up my form fields just the right way and line them up right over where they are supposed to be, but the client makes a change to the artwork that the forms sit on.
Is there any way to just update the page leaving form fields exactly where they were?
As far as cutting and pasting to th enew pdf, thats too time consuming and there is no paste in place either. So I have to keep tapping them to back to where I put them the first time, but can’t do that every time not to mention it isn’t lockdown accurate and I have to make sure I have all the forms selected. Perhaps there is at least a Paste in Place for Acrobat plug-in somewhere, that would work.

Wow, really? I keep using these links to find the answer to my question and the forum keeps bouncing me back to the forum starting page. Anyone have the current link, or is this just the Adobe server freaking out?

My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails. I have to open each one to see what photo it is. This has just recently started to happen.

I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked. This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

A 6 year user of Firefox, and all of a sudden you are complaining about the lack of a toll-free telephone support number?
Mozilla has '''''never''''' provided telephone support, and probably never will due to the cost involved.
How would they amortize the cost of that type of operation, while providing a free browser to everyone around the globe who uses it?
If you can figure out a way to do that, I'm sure they would listen to your proposal.
