OSX no new window appears when started from secondary screen

I have an iMac 27" and a 24" secondary display running OSX 10.6.8.
When I try to "file - New window" from a firefox window on the secondary display the window never appears if I display all firefox windows it is not there, The same happens if I, from a window on the secondary display, do "Move to New Window" on a tab, it just disappears.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Sometimes an update resets things.
Check your screen sharing setup in system prefs on both machines.
Also, do both machines have the latest Remote Desktop Client Update?
Can you connect to the server normally using Finder?
Lastly, can you share desktops the other way - from the server to the MBP?

  • Applications Window appears when start up

    Last week I had a problem with my printer not being on line, after some unguided troubleshooting, I got the printer back on line. Don't ask what I did, I don't know for sure.
    But, now when I boot up OS 10.4.7, the Applications Window appears with the desktop in the background. I have been unable to find a way to keep the window from appearing on start up.
    Any help?

    You might have inadvertently set the printer to open every time you log in or restart.
    Go to "System Preferences", then click on "Accounts", then click on the "Log In Items" tab. Look to see if your printer is listed there. If it is, just highlight it and then click the minus button to remove it. Items listed there will open every time you start up or log in.

  • Xperia Z3 Compact camera error when starting from locked screen (symbol lock)

    Hi
    I'm a new owner of Xperia Z3 Compact and I have noticed a problem when launching camera. The app itself works perfectly well but when trying to launch camera from locked phone (screen locked with symbol) it shows only black screen with error message that camera app it unaccessible. After removing lock screen protection both camera symbol on lock screen and dedicated camera button works as intended. Is it supposed to be that way? On my previous phone I could launch camera app without unlocking screen but couldn't access any other parts of the phone. I'd love to have it working the same way here especially with the dedicated camera button.
    Hoping for a fast answer. 
    Regards

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

    Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

    No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
    I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
    To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

  • Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

    I cannot open a new window for FireFox.

    The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
    This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, once I have Firefox open, I can no longer open a new window using the start button. How do I fix?

    As I stated, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have installed Firefox 5. I sometimes like to have multiple windows of the browser open. But, unlike any previous version of Firefox, now when I have the browser open, when I try to open a new window using the Start menu, it will not open one. I have to use Ctrl+N. Why did this change?
    This may seem insignificant but it really hampers my work flow. For one, with other applications, Shift+N is what opens a new window. For two, I've been doing with with my browsers for years now and it's like second nature for me - having to remember that in Firefox it's Ctrl+N is a pain in my tuccus.
    Firefox is my go to browser and I would like it to stay that way. Please find the solution for me! I have tried looking using Tools, Options, as well as looking at my start menu and taskbar options, and no dice.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones

    I had an iPhone 4 and switched to LG G2 android.  I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones.  I've done everything Sprint and Apple have suggested - turned off imessaging, made sure the contact info on the other iPhones is plain mobile numbers, deactivated my iCloud account.  Nothing is working.  Anybody have any suggestions?

  • I just bought a new Macbook Pro and transferred my iTunes archive of music to it. How do I transfer the playlists from my other computer(s)? iTunes on the new machine wants to start from scratch.

    How do I transfer playlists from my other Apple computer(s) to my new Macbook Pro? I think I have successfully moved the music (archive) but the new machine wants to start from scratch on the playlists.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
    Essentially you need to copy over the itunes folder
    username/Music/itunes
    Over to your macbookpro I suggest using an ethernet cable as it is way quicker. Put it in the same spot on the new Macbook Pro
    username/music/
    This should bring over the playlists etc. Then just put the music back in from the archive

  • Windows error when starting iTunes 5.

    Hey.
    My iTunes suddenly started giving me a Windows error when starting it. I installed iTunes 5 instead of iTunes 4 recently, and it has been running. But today when I wanted to transfer some more music to my iPod iTunes wouldn't start. I just get the Windows Error... thing. What can I do? I already tried to reinstall it, but as you know, it's god d*mn impossible to completely delete Apple software without a format.
    I talked to a friend of mine who had experienced the same problem, but it was his firewall/antivirus (F-Secure) that was the problem, and I'm running PC-Cillin - which I tried to disable, but it didn't help.
    Help, thank you.

    Deffo a missing quicktime issue. See my post Chris Rocco, "itunes launching problem.", 07:20am Oct 2, 2005 CDT

  • Cmd window appears when running sqldeveloper.exe for some users

    All,
    I'm wondering why a cmd window appears when I double click the sqldeveloper.exe executable?
    This is a Windows 2008 server.
    Also, when the user that installed SQL Developer runs it, the cmd window has no text in it but when other users are logged into the server and run the same executable, they have a lot of messages appearing in the cmd window similar to:
    at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.doConfigure<DOMConfigurator.java:616)
    What I'd like to do is NOT have any cmd window appear when the users run sqldeveloper.exe

    There are two sqldeveloper.exe files. The one in the root of the sqldeveloper installation folder doesn't produce a console; the one in <sqldev>\sqldevloper\bin does.

  • WS-ReliableMessaging when starting from WSDL

    I'm trying to enable WS-ReliableMessaging for a service for which I started
    from the WSDL. I used to start from the JWS file and so I just added the
    @Policy annotation to enable WS-RM, but now I'm starting from the WSDL
    (using the wsdlc ant task to generate the JWS and interface JWS) and I can
    no longer enable WS-RM. I cannot add a @Policy annotation because then it
    won't compile (because of the interface). I've also tried adding other WS-RM
    (optional) annotations and even embedded the policy directly into the WSDL,
    but no luck.
    Does anyone know how to enable WS-RM when starting from a WSDL under
    WebLogic?
    Thanks.

    Hi dvohra21,
    The 3rd party has advice me tha the wsdl is not available on the specified ip:port on which the web service is running. If I make a call to the web service named "fvdbscan" as per your question, i.e., if i put the in a web browser http://192.168.1.4:1063/fvdbscan?wsdl , i get the following:
    <SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
      <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
          <faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode>
          <faultstring>HTTP GET method not implemented</faultstring>
        </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
      </SOAP-ENV:Body>
    </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
    Further more, as you can see in the atteched image, the "JDeveloper Test Web Service" i.e., the HTTP Analyser, option works fine when a call a funtion in the web servicce.
    However, when I run the client, ( which as you can see has zero code expect for that generated by the JDeveloper wizard), it throws an excception, as showned below.
    Here you can see the WebServiceClient generated by the JDeveloper wizard and you can see the urn it has created which is not valid.
    Thank you for your attention.
