Open windows not visible

I can open windows, for example the hard drive, or, documents, or downloads... but the open windows are only visable when I am switching from one desktop to another.  I cannot get the open windows to stay in any open desktop.  I use the "go" pull-down from the menu, I also try to "open in finder" from the dock.. nothing seems to work.  Help?

I think I've seen this posted before but can't find the answer right now, I think it was to do with making sure that Finder is set to open in None:

  • Why are the open windows not listed in any kind of order?

    It's bad enough there's no menu showing all the open tabs, but why does the dropdown menu for open Windows not be in ANY order whatsoever? It would certainly stop having to look up and down the list every time I want to go to a different window if they were in either alphabetical or chronological order.

    The windows listed in the Window menu are in chronological order starting with the oldest window near the top and the newest window at the bottom.
    The problem might be that you've opened a new tab in an old window. The windows are still listed in the same order but now they have the name of the newest tab.
    In my screenshot I opened this question in a new tab in my oldest window.

  • Pods are open but not visible????

    I have opened the project and moved the pods (Project Manager, Project Set Up, etc) around but seemed to have moved them to far up and now they are not visible on the screen.  I have tried closing the project and re-opneing it... hoping the pods would return to the default view but have had not luck.

  • Why is my open window not centring the file previews?

    Whenever I try to open a file in Illustrator CS6 I have to scale the open window across both of my monitors just to be able to see the file preview in the columns mode. If i with the viewing mode to the iTunes artworks style mode I can just barely see the file preview if I make the window the entire size of my main monitor.  How can I fix this? See below for and examples:

    jonnymo,
    I believe I should have said Yosemite/Column view.
    Has the issue appeared after an upgrade to Yosemite?

  • Address Book window not visible

    Have a strange problem with Address Book on a friend's new 27-inch iMac.
    When Address Book is launched, the menus appear at the top of the screen but there is no window. Some menu items are greyed out but some are visible. Have tried various things:
    Window > Address Book does not make the window appear. Repaired permissions, removed .plist files.
    Can view the Address Book entries from the Address Book button in Mail.
    Any ideas, anyone?

    Start by backing up the user/Library/Application Support/Addressbook folder.
    In that folder is a file called AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Delete that and start address book. That will delete the index and have AB recreate it. I don't know if that is the problem, but may be.
    On a different tack, download and install the 10.6.3 combo updater. It may fix what is broken. However, most problems are data-related, not the application itself.
    Can you log into a different user and open Address Book? Just create a new user account for testing, if there isn't another. I keep one just for checking stuff like this. Checking in a different user will tell us if it is a system-wide problem, or just that one particular user.

  • Elements 11 Preview Window not visible in dual monitor mode

    When I go to dual monitor mode the preview window is hidden. I can still hear the audio from the clip but I can't see the video window. It is still hidden when I switch back to single monitor mode. The only way to bring it back is to close out the program and reopen it. Does anyone know where it goes and how to make it visible?

    MAINEEDIT
    I have just set up for Premiere Elements 11 Dual Monitor Mode in Windows 8 64 bit computer.
    How do you have your monitors set up...Extend Across.. or other?
    I am not having any problems keeping track of what I believe you are referring to as the "Preview Window". So please excuse
    if I double check with you via the following screenshot.
    Preview Window which can be brought up
    a. double clicking the file in Project Assets
    b. double clicking the file on the Expert workspace Timeline
    I am going to go over this one more time with my Premiere Elements 11 and Windows 8 64 bt computer to see
    if I can create the situation that I am interpreting that you have.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On...This especially makes me ask....
    When I reopen the program the preview window appears in its normal position.
    The Preview Window is going to close when you save/close the project. As you saying that you re-opened the project
    to find the Preview Window opened?

  • Acrobat XI Pro combine files window not visible

    So I was trying to combine files into one pdf this morning, but Acrobat's window for doing so would not appear. I could minimize it, and see it down on the bottom of my dock, but when I tried to maximize it, it would disappear. (I'm on a Mac). Everything else on the app was working perfectly. I:
    -checked all preferences
    -tried to re-arrange window configurations
    -made sure my 2nd monitor was up as it might have been last time I used the program
    -opened pdfs and then tried to combine them
    -quit and re-opened the application several times
    -tried again to access the 'combine' window from every angle I could
    -rebooted, then went through it all again
    -went to adobe to check for updates. Application manager says Acrobat XI is up to date. Won't let me do anything.
    So, I decided to uninstall it so I could start fresh and re-install. Uninstalled, went back to the Cloud. App manager says Acrobat XI is up to date, and still won't let me download or anything else.
    Rebooted. Went back to the Cloud. Same thing again.
    I would very much like to be able to use this app. I have things to do...

    I figured out how to recreate the preferences and it fixed the problem.  Here is how I did it:
    Quit Acrobat
    In Finder hold down "option" and open the "Go" menu.  Pick "Library"
    Open "Preferences" folder
    Drag "com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist" to your desk top
    Reopen Acrobat and try to merge 2 files
    If it works you have solved your problem.  Acrobat will replace the missing file with the default.
    If it doesn't work you can drag the original folder back into "preferences" and keep trying to figure out what was wrong.
    Part of the answer was in the Acrobat workspace instruction.

  • Firefox starts hidden (window not visible), but stays in process list. IE9, Opera, Chrome works just fine

    Yesterday my Firefox 4 just stopped working. When I click on firefox icon - new process appears in task manager list, but I can't see firefox windows. After killing firefox.exe process I can start another one, but still no firefox windows are shown.
    Tried to re-install (with deleted profiles and whole installation from Program Files folder). Tried 3.x and 4.x versions, no luck. This is no window focus problem (or it's position outside the desktop) - firefox.exe process starts, but no GUI objects are created (checked with sysinternals procexplorer)
    Computer is well anti-malware and virus protected. Reinstalled newest NVIDIA drivers (WHQL), all updates from Windows Update. I've been reading that there was some prob. with NVIDIA drivers (9800GT), but this just happened suddenly - without new updates or installed programs - just during the day...

    I'm having this same problem and here is how I got to this place. First, it doesn't happen every time. About 50% of boots will Firefox not work. (The process starts, but no window opens.) I have an SSD that is smallish... 64 GB running Windows 7. It is a machine I built myself. I have about 11 Gig free at any given time. I have a 2 Tb secondary drive where I keep my data and some, less used, programs. This is also where I keep my virtual machines (VM). I currently have 2 linux machines. Last night, I tried creating a Windows 7 (W7) virtual machine with an extra copy of W7 that I have. Well, I forgot to switch the target VM install area from my system disk to the secondary disk. When I realized what I had done, the install was almost finished and I had about 1 GB left. I worked to kill everything and delete the W7 VM. (That was a time consuming pain. PC was as slow as mud, which was to be expected, I guess.) So, after I got the W7 VM deleted everything seemed to be alright, until I tried to start Firefox and it wouldn't. Thunderbird 3 also won't start. As well as Norton Antivirus. I haven't tested any other programs; however, IE will start. As will Photoshop, Wiper.exe, CCleaner and Windows Media Player. I have my machine locked down; so, I'm confident it isn't a virus or malware. (I ran a full scan yesterday and this morning - when I got Norton to start.)
    I'm not thinking this is directly a Firefox issue; however, any help would be appreciated. Heh, I don't have the time or the will to rebuild the software on this machine. I do have a backup, but I've never had much luck getting those to work properly.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Safari - New Windows Not Visible

    I'm having problems with Safari - when I try to open a new window, either by File>New Window or by clicking a webpage link which opens in a new window, the new window does not appear.
    The windows are opening somewhere as they show in the list when clicking on the WIndow tab (although selecting them in the list does nothing, nor does clicking the mouse side buttons to show all windows).
    When quitting Safari I get the multiple pages open message, i.e. "There are 27 windows open in Safari. Do you want to quit anyway?".
    Reopening Safari solves the problem only for a short time, as does a Restart.
    I have recently (after major iTunes and kernel panic issues) run DiskWarrior, replaced and tested additional RAM, and repaired disk permissions to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Deleted the three files suggested - now, on opening Safari I cannot expand the Safari page to fill the screen width (after a certain point dragging across from the corner, the header bar disappears and the page will not expand further).
    I still have exactly the same problem with opening new windows - they appear in the list, but I can't view them.

  • GuiXT window not visible

    In GUIXT profile I have maintained the start  window as hidden. Then I stopped seeing the GuiXT window.
    Now I want to change it to "minimise" instead of "hidden". To do this I need to change the "Profile" again. But I do not see the GuiXT window.  Can any body suggest how can I make the window appear again so I can change the settings ?
    Any help is greatly appreciated .
    Thanks

    Hello Vince,
       look for the file guixt.ini under C:\Program files\SAP\Frontend\SAPgui (*). Open ir with notepad (or some text editor) and change
    StartHidden     Yes
    to
    StartHidden     No
    Close and restart your SAPgui to see the changes.

  • HP Quality Center 10.00 Manual Runner window not visible?

    Firstly, excuse me if i am in the wrong forum.
    Using HP Quality Center 10.00, when i select Run, to run a test, the Manual Runner window does not appear? But you can see it sat on the Taskbar? And if i right-click on it, i have only two options - Move, Size. There is no Maximize option?Where is the Manual Runner window?
    I have uninstalled the program and installed the explorer version, but still the same problem exists.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Bashme

    This issue is usually due to having multiple monitors, particularly when used with a laptop where the configuration can frequently change. For example, when at one location, the display settings are such that the laptop is on the left and the secondary monitor is on the right, but at another, the laptop is on the right and the secondary monitor on the left. Applications remember where windows were when last opened, so if the monitors are not configured in the expected order, the window may be "invisible" when next opened. What is actually happening is described in nathanielcoyle's response regarding the coordinates of the window.
    The solution is to go to the Display settings under Control Panel and reverse the order of the monitors. It may alternately help to change which monitor is considered the main display (this is just a theoretical guess). If you use dual monitors at work but only have one (your laptop) at home, you're pretty much hosed until you get back to work or find another monitor to plug in. That is, of course, unless you happen to have your QC administrator on speed dial to implement nmailey's solution.
    Preventive measure: Always bring windows back into your main display before closing them.

  • ITunes 11 - multiple open windows not possible?

    I usually run iTunes with multiple windows open (double click the playlists and they open as new windows).  At any given time I have 3 or 4 playlists open.
    ... doesn't seem to work any longer, am I overlooking something?

    It took me a while, but I finally came up with a solution for this! It's not a perfect one for everybody (since you have to make hotkeys) but it works great if you use something like Alfred or Quicksilver to control iTunes already.
    Basically, I wrote an AppleScript that detects if Repeat One is on. If it is, then the script very quickly disables it, skips to the next track, and turns it back on. Skipping then works just like it did with iTunes 10 and iDevices.
    I put the scripts up for download here: iTunes 11: Restore track skipping with Repeat One turned on (OSX)
    Hope this helps some people.

  • Open button not visible in download file dialog box

    Hi,
    I am using weblogic portal 10.2 and written following code in my page flow controller but open button is not available on file download dialog box. Whereas if i try the same approach in jsp it show correctly. Any quick would be highly appreciated:
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + materialid+".pdf");
                        getResponse().setContentType("APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM");
                        DataOutput dataOutput = new DataOutputStream(getResponse().getOutputStream());
                        getResponse().setContentLength(bufferExtractedFromXML.length);
                        for(int i = 0; i < bufferExtractedFromXML.length; i++)
                             dataOutput.writeByte(bufferExtractedFromXML);

    How is the pageflow being called? (i.e. are you calling it as part of a Portal or directly). Also using a browser tool check the headers you get.
    And really if you sending a PDF file then you mime type should not be Application-OctetStream.

  • Edit audio window not visible in Captivate 5 for Mac

    After putting closed captions into a project I went back to edit them and now the Edit Audio window doesn't appear at all. The captions and audio playback fine on preview. When I go to the Edit Audio window the rest of the application is disabled as if the window was open, but it doesn't appear anywhere. I've reset the workspace, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstaled, and created a new project, imported audio to a slide and still see no Edit window.

    Also, I've downloaded a trial version of Captivate on a different computer and the same project file plays fine and I get the Edit Audio window and Closed Captions. But even with an uninstall and new download of Captivate on the old computer these are invisible in *all* projects on that computer. All settings at default. What local settings could be doing this on that computer? Other Captivate pop-up windows work fine.
