"place" window is wonky.

I recently started working in indesign cs6 on my mac. I have been working in 5 for a long time so this was a well deserved upgrade for me.
I am having an issue when I am placing an image or opening a file.
When I chose to place an image an the "place" window opens it is defaulting to sort by date in an extremely large column with file name in a small column that is only displaying about 4 characters. I have tried to go through preferences and I can't find anything to solve the problem.
This problem is only happening in this program and not anywhere else in my system.
This is a nightmare when each time I want to place an image I have to click then stretch a column. Although it is easy to fix it is so annoying.
Has anyone had this problem? Help?! I am attaching a screenshot of how the window appears.

In Mac OS, you have a choice of three viewing modes in the Place window:
Icon view:
List view (what you are on now):
and Column view:

Place window by keyboard [SOLVED]

I am using KDE 4.5 and Compiz. The only reason I use Compiz is to use the function `Put` which is under Windows Management. This allows me to move active window to 9 different places such as left top, center and right bottom. I like KWin window decoration better. And I feel like my video card doesn't work great with Compiz. Do you know how I could get this put-window function without Compiz? Thank you.

KDE 4.5 introduced window tiling, so installing extra programs should not be necessary. Also compiz' Put doesn't do tiling but it moves windows to different places on the screen.
@since1992: Kwin is highly configurable when you see the advanced settings, have you checked if there are keybindings for Put-like behaviour there?
Thank you for reply. I couldn't find much information about window tiling. From a demonstration in youtube( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbNnhDGanH8 ), I believe window tiling is not about moving window. It probably more like to be a resizing windows. There were keyboard shortcuts in System Setting > Shortcuts and Gestures > Global Keyboard Shortcuts > KWin. But It didn't. Do I need to activate this function in somewhere else? Thank you.

Firefox 29 page control icons in the wrong place Windows 7 64bit

The page minimize, maximize, close icons are at the upper left. I don't want them there and they also obstruct my File and Edit menus, I want them at the traditional upper right location, where they were with Firefox 28. No such problem with my Windows XP 32 bit desktop PC.
I have tried re-installing Firefox 28 (all OK) and then upgrading to version 29 - still at the top left.
Have decided to go back to version 28 and switch off auto-update.

Yes it was an addon problem - Personal Titlebar 1.0.20130518. This addon is not in use on my XP PC.
Going to the addon website, the most recent review states:
This is the last add-on preventing me from upgrading to Australis. Hope to see a compatible version before it ships on the 29th!
and another:
Not Working on FF29+
Addon gliches UI in FF29+ Please fix
Thank you for your assistance.

Illustrator crashes when I close 'place' window

No issues anywhere else, but if I go to 'place' an object and then cancel the action, illustrator crashes. If I place an object there are no issues. I've cleaned the cache files and trashed prefs without success. I've also run font doctor and tried disabling user fonts in case it might be a corruption issue. Below is the crash log. I hope someone can explain what it means.

Already done that sig, cheers.
Just wondered if anyone here might have an insight. Turns out that this is a known bug in AI10 - guess we'll just have to not click 'cancel'.

Hi,
Most probably these kind of errors pop up if the drivers are not compatible. Do you find any .dmp files under folder C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources ? If so
open it with debugger and check for the affected .sys file name.
Check the DVD media, or try a different media.

[SOLVED] XFCE - Incorrect windows placement

Hi,
I'm currently having a issue with XFCE's window placement. In the settings panel, under Window Manager Tweaks > Placement, window placement is set to Center for all windows, but this option has no effect. I tried changing it to place windows under the mouse, but it also has no effect on the windows placement. Windows keep opening on the screen corners.
I checked the forums for similar problems, and found some results, but none of the solutions worked for me. Also, those are quite old topics.
[Solved] XFCE - Having Trouble Centering Windows
[solved] Xfce4, new windows position
Xfce 4.8 xfwm4 window placement settings no longer have any effect.
This is not a big problem, but I'm kind of picky, so if anyone knows a solution to this problem, please share it.
Best Regards,
Agkel0s

Shouldn't you actually have it on the maximum value?
I believe the way this works is that the size (or ratio, the option is actually called placement_ratio IIRC and is a ratio of window size vs screen size) you specify here is the minimum to trigger "smart placement." If the window isn't (at least) of that size, then the default (i.e. center or under mouse pointer, as defined below) will be used. So if you want every window to use the default placement, you should set the minimum size for smart placement to be as large as possible. (In fact, I believe with a ratio set to 100 (i.e. slider to the max) it should always use the default placement, regardless of window size, which is want you're after if I'm not wrong.)
If even with the slider to the max you get new windows placed using smart placement, then it sounds like a bug I'd say.
(Also, just as FYI and though you might simply want all windows to be centered, I wasn't happy with xfwm's smart placement myself, you can see this topic for a (IMO) better alternative.)

[Solved] Openbox Window Placement not in Center

In obconf, under Windows, I have:
√ Focus new windows when they appear
√ Center new windows when they are placed
Prefer to place new windows on: The monitor with the mouse
Primary monitor: Monitor With Mouse Pointer
But in the corresponding rc.xml, I have
<placement>
<policy>Smart</policy>

<center>yes</center>

<monitor>Mouse</monitor>

<primaryMonitor>Mouse</primaryMonitor>

</placement>
And the behaviour is this:
Windows try to get as close to the top left corner as possible without overlapping any other windows. This does sound like what "Smart" policy would refer to, but it is not listening to the <center>yes</center> tag.

I just finished patching Openbox to restore the former random window placement behavior. You can find it here: openbox-git-random-placement
It works but I didn't fully test all scenarios (multi-monitors, different window states, and so on...) so if you find any bugs in my patch or random window placement code please let me know!
Im having trouble discerning what exactly you mean. I could build your version to find out, but the current openbox-git seems to work exactly this way?
I have smart placement and center set. When I open a new window on a blank workspace, its placed centered. If I open another, it will be placed in empty space. It will keep placing in empty space until the desktop is completely hidden, and then it will start randomly placing the window.
I have considered talking to the Openbox devs about possibly implementing the placement algorithm of Fluxbox- Flux will evenly distribute the windows even after the entire screen is filled/covered.
**EDIT** Do you mean your version starts to random place the moment it cant fit the window in empty space without even partially obscuring an existing window?

How do I assign a Location from My Places to an Event?

iPhoto 8.1.1
I don't have any GPS data in my photos and am trying to assign it manually, with some difficulty.
I watched the tutorial on the iLife > iPhoto webpage and it appears that when you click on an Event's "i" icon there are supposed to be two tabs in the "Edit My Places" window that results, called "My Places" and "Google Search", respectively. Presumably, one could then click on the "My Places" tab and get your list of places to more rapidly assign known, frequent locations, such as my home, to a given event.
I don't have that. My window, when I click on an Event's "i" and start typing or click in the Places field is called "Add New Place" and there are no tabs so I can scroll through my pre-assigned locations. Additionally, in that field, in the tutorial the popup is called "new place...". In mine it says, "Find on Map". A subtlety, to be sure, but perhaps indicative of the issue? I don't know...
What am I missing? Why don't I have those tabs, and how can I get them? I would really like to expedite the location tagging for my photos and this is really painful at the moment.
TIA!
Richard

Well...okay then!
Next fix...Has you camera had its GPS info turned on? From the video I saw, it takes the GPS info from the camera when/where you took the pic. So my question is, are your pictures showing with a "i" button in the corner? It looks like a picture and event thing.
Next question...since you are adding by hand, and based on no GPS from camera, it would seem that until you have a fair number of places to choose from, you might not have a list to populate with.
Just tryin' to help...

How can I place calendars in multiple calendar groups?

I would like to use a group for each of my family members but reference some of the same calendars from multiple calendar groups. Here is an example:
Lets say I have a calendar for school, sport1, sport2, activity, family, and work
I would like the groups to look like this:
Me: family and work
Wife: activity and family
Son_1: school, sport1 and family
Son_2: school, sport2 and family
When a group is visible, that person can see the activities in which they participate. When several groups are visible, though, only single copies of shared events would appear and shared events would only have to be entered once.
Is there a way to do this or do I need to place this on the feedback page?

How to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp on late 2012 iMac

These notes reflect the installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my late 2012 27” iMac with a 3 TB fusion drive and running OS X Mountain Lion version 10.8.4.
After launching Boot Camp Assistant, click “Print Installation & Setup Guide” and keep this handy throughout the process. There are specific details in the Boot Camp Guide that are not covered by my notes.
Don’t do like I did and expect to start at 11:00 PM on a work night and have Windows 7 working before 1:00 AM - it can take much longer. Many of the activities are best monitored instead of going to bed hoping that next morning will greet you with success.
Download Windows 7 ISO file from Internet and burn to a blank DVD
Insert a blank DVD
Start Disk Utility.
From the File menu, choose “Open Disk Image” and select the ISO to be burned.
In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
Be patient. In my case the ISO burn seemed to be stuck at 80%. I walked away for a bit and returned to find the DVD successfully burned. This is an exception to not walking away during the Boot Camp process.
Although you should be able to burn the ISO to DVD with any external burner, in my case I found that an Apple USB SuperDrive worked during the Windows installation whereas an otherwise reliable third party CD/DVD/Blueray burner was not recognized by Boot Camp 5.0.3.
If you simply burn the ISO file to the DVD, the DVD will not work. A simple check is to view the DVD’s contents after it has been burnt. If it contains a .iso file only, then you can place that DVD in the trash and start over.
Take some to think through how much space you want to dedicate to Windows 7 that will be taken from your OS X allotment. If you change your mind later, you will need to start the process over, including reinstalling and reactivating Windows 7 and any other specialized software you’ve installed. In my case, I partitioned 251 GB to Windows 7 and that left 233.7 GB free during installation.
When you are ready to begin partitioning your hard drive, unplug all unnecessary USB drives. This includes external drives and your Time Machine drive. Use a USB keyboard with a USB mouse plugged into a USB port on the keyboard. Plug the USB flash drive containing Support Software you created with Boot Camp into a regular USB port. On the iMac, I used the port nearest the right side of the monitor while facing the screen. You also need the USB SuperDrive plugged in with the Windows 7 install disk in the drive. Boot Camp jumps from partitioning straight into installation.
Although the Boot Camp Guide indicates your Mac will default launch in Windows during installation, mine rebooted into OS X each time. When the screen goes white, just hold the OPTION button and select the Windows drive (not the Windows DVD). Be patient. It may look like the Mac is refusing to accept your selection of Windows, but it could be just a little slow to launch.
If you end up installing Windows 7 more than once due to crashes, confusion or whatever, check for a Windows.old file after you’re finished. If it exists, you can delete that file. It’s a place Windows 7 places files from previous installs in case you need to save something.
As of this writing, I need to use a USB keyboard to use OPTION to have the option to launch Windows 7. Once in Windows, my Logitech K760 bluetooth keyboard works fine. It takes too long for bluetooth to sync for the keyboard to keep up with the Mac booting up. Although Windows 7 recognizes my second monitor and the drivers are up to date, the second monitor has a black screen and windows cannot be moved onto the second monitor.
I hope that Apple continues to develop Boot Camp and improve the Installation Guide for future users. When Apple advertises a feature, such as Boot Camp, there is an expectation amongst consumers that it will simply work. When a key feature fails to live up to expectations, it reflects poorly on Apple.
Thank you,
Steven Cagle

Have you tried a USB installer?
Boot Camp Assistant will now ask if you want to install the Windows installer with the Boot Camp Dirvers onto a USB drive on some supported and not so support machines.
Do a search for "Windows USB installer" on Yahoo/Google and there should be quite a few.

How to create a new place in iPhoto 11 without doing any harm?

Yes, I know how to create a new place for a photo -- theoretically:
Select the photo.
Make sure the Info icon in the lower right portion of the iPhoto window is clicked and the too-tiny-for-any-but-the-youngest-eyes map is displaying.
Click in "Assign a Place..." and begin typing a place that iPhoto will search for. It searches in both "your places" (i.e., those that you have already defined) as well as in Google Maps.
When you see a place in the search results list that you think might be close to the one you mean, select it.
A pin appears on the itsy-bitsy map. Move it to the exact place you mean. You can make controls appear on the map by moving the mouse over the bottom of the map. The controls allow you to zoom in and out, and to change views (Terrain, Satellite, Hybrid). When the pin is where you want it, click it. The current name of the location appears. Modify it to the name you want, then click the check mark.
That's "all" there is to it ... except for a couple of "gotchas."
There's a difference between what happens when you select a place that you've defined and when you select a place that Google found in the search results. If it's a place that you've defined, and you then move the pin to a new location and/or change its name, this will affect all photos assigned to the custom place. In effect, you are modifying the place.
All places have a radius associated with them, thereby making them circles. You can adjust the radius only in the Maintain My Places window. In the itsy-bitsy map it doesn't even appear. However, if the newly defined place overlaps existing ones, all the photos assigned to the overlapped places will be assigned to the new one. Their pins will remain where they were.
Now, before anybody suggests sending feedback to Apple, let me emphasize that I have been sending Apple feedback on the wrong-headed implementation of Places since iPhoto 9.0. New versions have come and gone (the current one is 9.1.2), but these "features" have remained. So my purpose in opening this thread is to consolidate work arounds to these "features" in one place. My work around:
Whenever I define a new place, I select only a single photo. I try to name my places so that I can distinguish them from those that Google finds. In order to avoid Gotcha 1 I select a place that Google finds and try to place the pin close enough to where I want it, but far enough from any other places that I've defined. I give it a name that I can easily find it Manage My Place.
I immediately open Manage My Places and select the new place. I first note the pins near it, then decrease its radius, move the pin to the desired location, note the nearby places, and give it its final name.
I then view Places and navigate to the new place to view the photos assigned to it. If I'm lucky, there's only one. Otherwise, I have to reassign the other photos to their correct places.
Richard

So... in the hope it will not confuse folks more, let me be more specific of a procedure that works for me...
Procedure to create a new My Places location.
OK there is more you can do with a non-GPS Coord linked photo.
Click Info and then click Assign a Place in the lower right of screen. (if your photo has a location linked to it already the Assign a Place will NOT show up.)
Choose a location name near the actual location that Google Maps can find.
Click that location in the Google Maps list that appears and your photo will be temporarily assigned to that location.
Now type over that location name in order to make sure to give that location a unique name that will show up in your My Places list and click that name after you have typed it to be sure it is accepted.
Now in iPhoto click Window/Manage My Places and go the that newly named location in the large My Places map. There's no easy search. You have to run down through the alphabetical list.
Drag the flag to the location you want this place to be and click Done.
The location name is now in your My Places list at the location you dragged the flag to!
It is important to note that only your unique named locations show up in your Places list, so if you want to modify the location coordinates you have to establish a unique name for it.
This is much more complicated that previous iPhoto versions!
But Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
It really works!!!!!!!

"Show Desktop" bug forces any program windows to be stuck "Always-on-top"

What I found under Windows 7, when you use the "Show Desktop" feature (I prefer the ⊞ Win + D shortcut) and then bring all windows back by using it again, some windows behave as if they're glued to the front of the z-order. What this means is, say, I have windows
A B and C open, with focus on A, hit ⊞ Win +D twice, and now it may happen that if I then want to switch to B or C, either by Alt+Tab or by selecting them on the taskbar, the taskbar shows the highlight, but A stays visible (and usable, it's not just a rendering
issue) in the foreground.
Imagine the following situations, all three windows cascading and overlapping:
A (focus)
B
C
-> ⊞ Win + D
Desktop (focus)
-> ⊞ Win + D
A (focus)
B
C
-> click C on taskbar
A
C (focus)
B
-> click B on taskbar
A
B (focus)
C
And so on. Focus means actual input focus, i.e. in second situation, any keyboard typing is sent to window B while window A is in the foreground.
It does not matter what kind of application; in my current case an instance of Outlook and an instance of Explorer is stuck, while a second instance of Explorer and an instance of Firefox behave normally. This should show that this problem can occur even between
multiple instances of the same application, and that there are no fancy applications involved that like to pretend they are the most important program and internally force "always on top".
Showing and unshowing the desktop again doesn't help; in the worst case another window might end up with the "glued to the top of the z-order" too. Between those, I can easily switch, but in order to get a window which still behaves normally on top, I have
to manually minimize the offending windows.
The only cure seems to close the offending windows so far, I've not found anything else that helps.
Could it be that Windows 7 has a bug that can force an ALWAYS_ON_TOP flag
onto some windows when restoring from "Show Desktop", or am I doing something wrong?
More information from another user:
I use win+d. Issue easy to replicate, Win7-64bit-Ultimate.
The affected windows (any program) seem to be placed into a separate "Z" group. You can place multiple/many windows into this always-on-top state, those in the affected state will function normally in relation to each other with the exception that: - The group
as a whole is always-on-top of any non-affected window - The whole group is on top of the taskbar. - The whole group does not respond to (context on taskbar) "cascade windows" or similar commands.
The fact that the affected windows are on top of the taskbar and otherwise function as "special windows" shows that windows 7 has a hidden "feature" of always-on-top that gets applied with Win+D. The feature appears to place windows in a super window state
that is on top of the taskbar. The normal group remaining behind the taskbar. (When you click the start menu or context menu of the taskbar, the start menu/taskbar comes to the foreground of the always-on-top group, however this does not revert the affected
windows, only a temporary takeover until you switch to something other than the start menu/taskbar)
This is key to finding an answer. How do we get windows to unassign the special status or not do the assignment in the first place?

It appeared to have cleared by closing all windows and restarting. Initially I could not reproduce the error, then after opening all my working windows, I did indeed reproduce it on any window.
I almost think it could be initialized with something to do with multiple windows of Chrome, and then the show desktop problem will crop up once one window has it. This was because: After messing around some more with a chrome session saver (session buddy)
and restoring sessions and getting the super state, I restored and closed the window I was in and now I am again at a place where I can not reproduce the error, even in my "work environment" with some 35 chrome tabs in two windows, plus other programs, file
locations, remote desktops and a second chrome profile with another dozen tabs.
So, back to square one with finding the actual instigator of the super state phenomenon.
Once you actually have the super sate issue, the following will reproduce:
Ok, I am doing this as I type it:
Open chrome (to view this website), then Notepad, then Calculator, (could be any windows, but for the purpose of demonstration, follow along with me)
The windows should function normally, overlap your windows so that you can see the edge of all windows and the Z-order is (from front to back):the browser on top, then the calculator, then Notepad (you should be able to see part of the background windows).
Now, with the browser on top, press win+d, then win+d again.
Click on Calculator, then your browser, your browser is now stuck in the foreground. Clicking on notepad will bring the focus to notepad, and it will be in front of the calculator, yet it will stay behind the browser, as your browser is in "super state". (many
arrangements of switching focus after returning from win+d will create the problem, with the exeption of clicking the desktop, I also noticed that I could not get calculator into super state unless it overlapped my chrome browser).
Again, this does not seem to work until at least one of your windows is affected. We do not know how to get the initial window, only subsequent ones.
I will post back if I find anything else.
Let me know if there is anything that develops.

How can I place Windows Media Player in my PDF?

Why want you the media player in a pdf file?
e.g. pushing Mozart - button to listen to Mozart's music. But it must be a script not embedded player. Is it possible?

I edit the location in the info pane, but it doesn't show up in Places!

Hi everyone, I have recently started to use iPhoto '09 but having a little difficult with Places. I do not have geotagging, so I am editing the location of my photos manually (nothing too specific, just the city). When I first attempted it, I used the info pane for the event, added the city (saw a pin drop in the appropriate location on the mini-map in the info pane) and then clicked done. However when I went to the Places window...no pins were on the world map!
I closed the computer and decided to try again the next day. Although I cannot imagine I did anything different, this time it worked! Yeah!
But today I added new photos and again edited the locations in the info pane (clicked the little 'i' in the right bottom corner), but while the info pane shows the correct location both in words (Location) and on the mini-map...when I go to the Places window, the pins are no where to be found (only see the pins from the previous day).
Am I missing something simple here? It's driving me nuts! hahaha...

I'm going from memory since this is done from work, but I believe you have to use semi-complete addresses (IE., 'Chicago' by itself won't work, you need to use 'Chicago, Il.' or 'Chicago, Illinois'. IF the address is for a 'Place' iPhoto knows (and it knows hundreds if not thousands of places) it will pop up and allow you to choose that location. If nothing happens, that probably means iPhoto doesn't know that 'Place' and you need to provide a more complete or more accurate name for it. Like I say, try getting in the habit of using at least a City and State... you can also choose the 'Locate on Map' feature and it will actually show a map of the place and you can Move the Pin to exactly where you want it, choose from Satellite View, Terrain View, Map view, zoom in, out, or enlarge or reduce the area covered by the Pin (the Blue Circle around the pin. Hope this helps...

Switching from Mac OS to Windows XP

I have one of the early Macbooks, 1.8GHZ with 2GB of RAM [just upgraded] and 80GB harddisk. I want to switch the computer entirely over to windows and get rid of Mac OS altogether as I have a number of specialist Windows only programs that I need to run for work. I think my computer would be too slow or have too little memory to have both or to run parallels.
Does anybody know of anywhere I can read up on how to do this transition? Ideally I'd like to wipe the HD and re-install everything, but don't know how to start my computer from scratch again. Do people recommend Windows XP or Vista? Any advice from people who have already done this would be much appreciated.

There are plenty of topics on this very question which gets asked fairly often depending on your search criteria.
Short answer is no.
The OS X license agreement provides for installing and using it on a single Apple branded/labeled computer only.
The only way to install Tiger on a PC is via a hack of some sort and even if the hack is successful, very little on your PC would be supported and the overall performance would not be worth the trouble.
> I was reading an artical and found out that the Mac OS X Tiger already has many of the things that the new windows vista has.
What you read is correct and it took Microsoft 5 years to come up with what amounts to a copy of OS X. I read there are 10 separate/different versions of Vista to choose from? How on earth is the average person (or even the above average person) expected to wade through all that confusing mess?
Apple is getting ready to launch a new OS X version called Leopard this spring which will place Windows even father behind.
If you want to run Tiger and Vista, purchase an Intel Mac which gives you the ability to run both operating systems natively on a single computer.

"place" window is wonky.
