Possible to choose where windows open?
On my system documents open in the top left corner of my screen, and since I keep panels open on the left the documents are obscured and need centering. Is it possible to have windows open centered to the monitor or work area?
Yes. This is normal behavior when you panels aren't docked to the edge of the screen. Your panels are not docked to the edge. To dock then, drag them to the edge until a blue halo/line appears and drop the panel. You'll know it's docked when the little grey circle in the upper right of the panels isn't showing.

Prompted to choose where to open new application. NO LUCK. I broke it.
I have had this problem for a while. Sometimes I cannot open a newly downloaded program. Sometimes there will be a system pop-up stating, "Bluetooth hardware not found". I have no idea why most of these files would have anything to do with Bluetooth. I fear I mixed something up in 'launch services' as I have been told. Below are links to past threads where I was trying to sort out the problem. Unfortunately they have been archived and I cannot respond to these original posts.
*This latest problem was with a dmg file.* I downloaded the dmg file but when I went to open it a system pop-up prompted me to 'select an application(I think it was) to open the file with'. This does not always happen. More often when I click on the newly downloaded program it just opens it up. Since this was a reverb plugin for use with Logic Express I tried to open it with Logic. This didn't work. Finally I selected 'disk utilities' hoping this would work and it does SOMETHING but it doesn't open it. Disk utilities opens up and I can see it written under my hard drives but I'm sure this is not what I wanted to do. I am obviously in over my head but I need to get this resolved. I've been ignoring the problem for too long and I am missing out on a lot of great programs because I have somehow messed my computer up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot open newly aquired programs- strange warning pops up
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1062685&tstart=0Hi, thanks so much, Limnos.
Yes I did as instructed in the other thread. Here is a step-by-step of what I did and where it takes me: I hit control> click on desktop icon >get info> verify "open with" is set to diskImageMounter. It already was. I did not have to change it. There is the option to open with diskImageMounter(default) or disk utilities(disk utilities was not an option at first. This i'll explain later*). I then select open and the program appears in the finder. I click on it and 'disk utility' opens up with a smaller screen labeled, "New Image from folder" prompting me to 'save as', 'where' to, what 'image format' and 'encryption'.
Each new program opens up in disk utility now.
Before it opened up automatically in Disk Utility when I clicked on the program in the finder, I was prompted to select an Application to open it with. I tried various things, for example, Logic Express, as the program was a VST plugin for use with recording software. I could not select 'open' with Logic. I tried 'disk utilities' in my ignorance and that is where it took me and each subsequent time I try to open the program from the finder. *When I first opened it up in disk utilities I 'fiddled around' and subsequently each time I go to open this program there is the option to open in diskImagemounter(default) or disk utilities, however when opened it is always opened in disk utilities even though the extension in the getinfo is still dmg.
Another new program, this one a Stuffit, opens up in disk utilities.
I'll start looking into Onyx. If you think I should back up my computer beforehand that's a whole other can of worms I'll have to look into. A few months ago I bought an external drive and backed everything up but now I'll need to figure out how to do so by somehow only backing up only new files and not everything again in addition to what is already backed up. I hope that makes sense. -
Restricting File Types in the "Choose File" window
hi,
I am using struts *<html:file>* to upload a file.
When i click on browse button, one dialog box ie choose file window opens.
But initially, it shows All Files (*.*) in File types text box. But i want to restrict the user there only to select some specific types.
I use accept attribute of <html:file> tag and provide value like "*application/pdf,image/jpeg*".
But it is showing All Files in that choose file window.
can anybody help me on this?there were a way of doing that but using the accept attribute in the input tag like <input type="file" accept"your MIME types">
but many browsers ignore this attribute and still show all file types.
another way to solve the problem is to validate the file selected after user clicks ok by java script code. -
Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox UPDATE window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windows, then choose to download update, it uses this extra time to estimate the download? (Mine said, 12 Hours to start with, but took under 2 minutes!)
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== When you install update to 3.6.4 (Possibly for every update?)The download should happen in the background (before you get an update window). I wonder why that didn't happen for you...\
Did you manually check for updates? -

HYPERLINKS is it possible to use "_blank" to open PDF links in new window?
When I export my PDF from Numbers '08, is it possible to have my Hyperlinks open in a new window? Possibly using the "_blank" HTML function inside the URL dialog? Right now the links just replace the PDF.
*I've tried ex)*
http://www.website.com target="_blank"
http://www.website.com, target="_blank"
Those don't seem to work. Any ideas? Is this fixed in '09?
Thanks
PS - seems there should be a checkbox saying "open hyperlink in new window". Just makes sense.Yes, true. But there is a way (in HTML) to force a link to open in a new window by including the "target=_blank" command. I'm wondering if Apple (or anyone else) has found a way to embed this into the "Hyperlink" property within Numbers? If not, it would be nice if future versions had a check box to include this option with a link in the Hyperlink property inspector.
Thanks for the feedback!

TS3927 My summary tab has disappeared in windows 8 now it asks me where to open eg file manager?
My summary tab in Itunes has disappeared in windows 8 when I open ITunes. It keeps asking me where to open now eg file manager. Totally frustrated. Can anyone help?
What you're trying to do now is:
EFI->kernel (EFI stub)
This is appealingly direct, but it's tricky to get working. What the wiki now recommends is:
EFI->gummiboot->kernel (EFI stub)
...or...
EFI->GRUB->kernel
These approaches are less direct, but they're easier to configure. The trouble is that both the EFI's built-in boot manager and the EFI stub loader are tricky to configure. For a newbie to get them both configured correctly on a first attempt at installing Arch is very difficult. Getting the EFI to launch gummiboot or GRUB is easier because these programs don't require the complex parameters that the EFI stub loader requires. Those parameters can instead be specified in the gummiboot or GRUB configuration file, which is easier to manage for quite a few reasons.
If you want to pursue using the EFI stub loader directly, you certainly can. I've learned from experience, though, that it's not worth my time to try to help with users who want to do this. Using an intermediary program is easier to get working. IMHO, the direct approach has no real benefits except that it gives you bragging rights that you've done it. Your system won't boot any faster or more reliably in the more direct approach. (Well, technically it will be faster, by only by a matter of milliseconds, assuming you use a 0 timeout value in gummiboot.) In fact, it will be less reliable, because gummiboot, GRUB, and rEFInd all offer ways to adjust boot options on a boot-by-boot basis, which is very helpful when fixing problems. You can't do this with the direct approach. -
Is it possible to add a HIGHLIGHT/COLOUR for a browser window open on the taskbar?
Hi. We use Outlook Web APP.
At the same time we have several windows open on the Taskbar.
Is it possible to be able to highlight or maybe "colour" specifically only this browser window so it's more easily visible amongst all other open windows?
Thank you.Hey there are a few, with the new update the Color Tabs is not as nice but there are some predefined colors [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-utilities/ Tab Utilities Add on] as well as editing the file that controls the userChrome.js [http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html]

Is it possible to forward an already open X11 window?
Hello all,
I have a terminal open using my account on a Fedora 7 machine that is SSH'd into another Linux machine using another account. Is it possible to forward this already open X11 window to my Mac? (So that I can continue to work through this other account, but from my Mac. Much nicer working environment... )the question is more about the ability to forward an already open X11 window
I guess this is not possible.
The easiest solution is, of course, either ask the admin of linux2 to create your account, or ask user2 to share the password. If this is not possible, then you can try the "screen" command in the following way:
On linux1:
linux1$ screen
linux1$ ssh user2@linux2
(ask user2 to enter his password)
linux2$ (type ctrl-a ctrl-d)
linux1$
(you can logout from linux1)
On your Mac:
mac$ ssh linux1
linux1$ screen -r
linux2$
(now you can work on linux2 as user2)
linux2$ (type ctrl-a ctrl-d)
linux1$ exit
mac$
You may shutdown/sleep the Mac. screen daemon is still running on linux1 and keeps the connection to linux2. Later you can connect to linux2 from your Mac (through linux1) again by the same procedure as above.
See "man screen" for more info. Ask again here if you need more help; I'm not a everyday user of "screen", but I hope someone more familiar with "screen" will help you. -
This is more of a wishful post that I hope an apple developer stumbles across and thinks is a good idea to put into a future OSX Lion update.
My wish is that when I fullscreen a new app (like safari, chrome, mail, etc.) I can choose where it adds the new space, either to the left of my existing spaces (between desktop and leftmost fullscreen app in mission control) or to the right side, which is what it does now. I've turned off the option that automatically arranges my spaces based on frequency of usage because I was getting annoyed at things not showing up where they were previously when swiping between spaces. Anyway...

Changing Where a New Window Opens
Whenever I open Sarfari 3, the window opens flush along the left side of my screen. I reposition the window so it is flush along the right side, close the window (not Safari), then open a new window. Again, the window opens flush on the left.
Does anyone know how to get the window to open in the last position?I think you have to resize the window after repositioning, using the bottom-right-hand corner of the window control. Then, when you close the window, Safari should remember it.
I finally set a javascript bookmark in the bookmark menu, dragged it to the top of my bookmark list and I use Apple-1 (= command-1) to resize my windows. Here's what I used:
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(1440,screen.availHeight);
The values can be edited to make it work for your situation. In other words, when you "Show All Bookmarks" in a window, you can edit the value "1440" or either of the values "0,0" to bet it positioned exactly as you need. Please post back if you need more specific instructions on any of this. -
Odd "progress bar"-like window opens occasionally, Windows Task Manager associates it with AcroRd32.
We've had a few users report an odd grey "progress bar" style window open up when Adobe Reader is open. The box has no title bar and no activity is displayed.
There is no close gadget or other buttons, just a blank space that looks like a progress meter.
It doesn't happen all the time, but it does only seem to happen on the computers that are running DisplayLink. These would be Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit) or 8.1 (64-bit) installs running on Microsoft Surface tablets or Dell Latitude E-series laptops. We have a number of Win8x machines out there, but the box only appears on those running DisplayLink.
If the box appears, opening Task Manager typically shows multiple (more than 2) instances of AcroRd32.exe running, and closing them all (one by one) through Task Manager will make the box go away.
We don't see anything get recorded in the Windows logs.
I know of two instances where this has occurred that were on Surface tablets where the user was just coming in for the day, waking their tablet from sleep (not a cold-start), and one of the first things they did was open a PDF file. I cannot say whether the wake-from sleep is also a commonality or not as this "progress bar" box appears randomly and infrequently.
It has been observed on machines running Adobe Reader XI and X. It occurred this morning on a tablet that is running the latest XI 11.0.06. It has been observed on machines running various versions of DisplayLink, including the latest public release.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this box to appear?Hi,

Problem with Sessions and window.open
Hi,
Hi everyone,
Help Please!!!
I am working with Sevlet session objects and HTML forms and windows. I have an HTML form for the user to supply a username and password. Once the user clicks submit I need to open another browser window that has no toolbar, no location, no status bar, etc. The user should also be able to go back to that login screen and login again and open a 2nd, 3rd, etc. instance of the application. My problem is that each application is being asigned the same sessionId. I believe it is being asigned to the main login window and thus to the other child windows it opens. Is there a way to work around this? Do I need to make the user open another browser window to login? I need to be able to let the user open multiple instances of the application with unique session ids for each.
Any insight is GREATLY appreciated on this topic. Anything you can tell me about sessions (Java), IE, window.open would help greatly!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!
MATo achieve this, you must introduce another level of
abstraction to the Servlet specifications. When you
work with JSP/Servlets you use mostly the HttpSession
to handle user related tasks, and the aplication
context, for things that are common to all users. But
inside the HttpSession scope, you want to create
containers that have 'smaller' scope and are uniquely
identified.
A ipothetical scenario :Let's say that you must have
multiple connections to several databases, on each
database user rights beeing diferrent, and you must be
able to track user actions globaly, and eventualy
capture a 'Close Application event' and close all db.
connections.
1. when the user first accesses the login frame create
the HttpSession. In the HttpSession object, store a
Hastable (let's call it 'ConnectionTable'). Each
object in the Hashtable must identify uniqely a
database connection. Now, to create unique identifiers
ids, make the keys in the hashtable java.lang.Long
objects, created using System.getCurrentTimeMillis().
This guaranties there will be no possible confusion.
From each new open window, on each request to the
server, along with the usefull parameters, send the
connection identifier. When proccessing the request,
select the object from the Hastable wich corresponds
to the ID.
2. Now, the values in the ConnectionTable, must act as
the containers that I mentioned in the first
paragraph. The simplest way to do this is to have
again a Hashtable derived class to do the job, wich
exploses methods similar to HttpSession: setAttibute (
Object key, Object value) and getAttibute ( Object
key, Object value). This container may use internally
a Hashtable to store object, and explose only the
getAttribute and setAttribute methods for clarity. Any
way, this is a problem of implementation. Let's call
this class CustomSession.
Now, a textual activity diagram:
1 user accesses the main page, you start a new
HttpSession; In the HttpSession object, store the
ConnectionTable object.
2. the user enters the userID and pwd and adatabase
name, and a new window is opened. Let's supose the
data entered is valid.
3. when you process the login data, you create a new
CustomSession object. you put in it whatever you would
put in your HttpSession. You generate a unique
identifier using System.CurrentTimeMillis(). Put the
CustomSession object in the ConnectionTable, using the
generated id as key. Send the response.
..... later on .....
100. the user asks for a particular action to be
performed - e.g. a row deletion. The page contains a
form with text field where the user introduces the
row number, a submit button and a hidden input with
the ID.
101. you process the data. Get the ID from the request
object, get the ConnectionTable from the session, get
the CustomSession using the ID as key, do whatever
your logic was doing, but obtaining the objects from
the CustomSession instead of HttpSession
NicNic,
Very slick idea. I think that it could work and it seems that there would be not security issues because the id that you would store on the client side is the Unique Identifier and not the actual Session Id. Do you forsee any security issues for this implementation? -
When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.
When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.
