Quickly size the screen with 2 programs running

I have a 24" iMac and usually have one or two programs open such as Preview and Quickbooks.  When opening the programs it usually entails dragging each screen to fit so that they don't overlap.  I would like to know if there is a quick way to size both screens to fit on the display at the same time and not overlap.

System Preferences---> Accessibility---> Zoom---> Use scroll gesture with modifier key to zoom. Select ctrl in the drop down menu.
It's a feature not normally turned on, so you might of had it turned on on your Mac before upgrading to Mavericks. And it just kept the setting.

  • Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around, then the white screen of death and nothing... Wouldn't restart all weekend, now fine..? any ideas whats wrong?

    Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get several bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around within the bands, then the white screen of death and nothing... This happens intermittently and usually restarts OK. Happened again three days ago and wouldn't restart for two days (again the bands/pixels etc) but now operating fine? Any ideas whats wrong with my iMac and what the solution may be? Also gets very hot from time to time, particularly if I'm playing music/watching youtube/movies for extended periods. Mac is 3.5 years old, running OS X 10.6.8, processor 3.4 GHz i7 memory 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3

  • Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    This is not just annoying, it is wrong, because at the end of the trial it will stop completely. You must resolve it before then.
    So, did you do anything to license the trial version? It needs to be told that you have purchased, or it will stop working at the end of the trial.

  • Attn: Sun. Can we distribute the JRE with a program we write?

    I'm trying to find out whether it's legal to distribute the JRE with a program I write. If you look at the license agreement when you download the JRE, first it has the regular license agreement, which says that you can't. But then it has the "supplemental" license agreement (and it says that this "modifies" the regular license agreement). In section 2 of the supplemental license agreement, it quite clearly states that you can as long as you don't modify it and you include some little messages in your documentation.
    So I'm hoping to get an answer from someone who actually works for Sun. It seems pretty clear to me that we ARE allowed to distribute the JRE with a program, but people keep sending me emails when I tell them about it - saying things like "You can't program in Java because you can't distribute it."
    What I want to do is have an installation program that installs my game and then installs Java (with Sun's JRE installer - this is included ONLY so that it can run my game, as stated in the supplemental license agreement). I should also mention that I do actually intend to SELL this program, so if that's a problem, please say so. Anyways, could someone from Sun tell me whether this is allowed or not? I don't want to break the law.

    The JRE includes a readme file that explicitly states that distribution is permissible, given certain conditions. In particular, look at the 1st paragraph below:
    Reproduced here:
    README
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
    Version 1.4.1
    The Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment is intended for software developers
    and vendors to redistribute with their applications.
    The Java 2 Runtime Environment contains the Java virtual machine,
    runtime class libraries, and Java application launcher that are
    necessary to run programs written in the Java programming language.
    It is not a development environment and does not contain development
    tools such as compilers or debuggers. For development tools, see the
    Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition.
    =======================================================================
    Deploying Applications with the Java 2 Runtime Environment
    =======================================================================
    When you deploy an application written in the Java programming
    language, your software bundle will probably consist of the following
    parts:
    Your own class, resource, and data files.
    A runtime environment.
    An installation procedure or program.
    You already have the first part, of course. The remainder of this
    document covers the other two parts. See also the Notes for Developers
    page on the Java Software website:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/runtime.html
    Runtime Environment
    To run your application, a user needs the Java 2 Runtime Environment,
    which is freely available from Sun for application developers to
    redistribute.
    The final step in the deployment process occurs when the software is
    installed on individual user system. Installation consists of copying
    software onto the user's system, then configuring the user's system
    to support that software. You should ensure that your installation
    procedure does not overwrite existing JRE installations, as they may
    be required by other applications.
    =======================================================================
    Redistribution of the Java 2 Runtime Environment
    =======================================================================
    The term "vendors" used here refers to licensees, developers, and
    independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and distribute the
    Java 2 Runtime Environment with their programs.
    Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 2 Runtime Environment Binary
    Code License agreement.
    Required vs. Optional Files
    The files that make up the Java 2 Runtime Environment are divided into
    two categories: required and optional. Optional files may be excluded
    from redistributions of the Java 2 Runtime Environment at the
    licensee's discretion.
    The following section contains a list of the files and directories that
    may optionally be omitted from redistributions with the Java 2 Runtime
    Environment. All files not in these lists of optional files must be
    included in redistributions of the runtime environment.
    Optional Files and Directories
    The following files may be optionally excluded from redistributions:
    lib/charsets.jar
    Character conversion classes
    jre/lib/ext/
    sunjce_provider.jar - the SunJCE provider for Java
    Cryptography APIs
    localedata.jar - contains many of the resources
    needed for non US English locales
    ldapsec.jar - contains security features supported
    by the LDAP service provider
    dnsns.jar - for the InetAddress wrapper of JNDI DNS provider
    bin/rmid
    Java RMI Activation System Daemon
    bin/rmiregistry
    Java Remote Object Registry
    bin/tnameserv
    Java IDL Name Server
    bin/keytool
    Key and Certificate Management Tool
    bin/kinit and jre/bin/kinit
    Used to obtain and cache Kerberos ticket-granting tickets
    bin/klist and jre/bin/klist
    Kerberos display entries in credentials cache and keytab

    bin/policytool
    Policy File Creation and Management Tool
    bin/orbd
    Object Request Broker Daemon
    bin/servertool
    Java IDL Server Tool
    In addition, the Java Web Start product may be excluded from
    redistributions. Depending on the platform, the Java Web Start
    product is contained in a file named as follows. The actual
    product version number would replace the <version number> notation.
    javaws-<version number>-solaris-sparc-i.zip
    javaws-<version number>-solaris-i586-i.zip
    javaws-<version number>-linux-i586-i.zip
    javaws-<version number>-windows-i586-i.exe
    Redistribution of Java 2 SDK Files
    The limited set of files from the SDK listed below may be included in
    vendor redistributions of the Java 2 Runtime Environment. All paths
    are relative to the top-level directory of the SDK.
    - jre/lib/cmm/PYCC.pf
    Color profile. This file is required only if one wishes to
    convert between the PYCC color space and another color space.
    - All .ttf font files in the jre/lib/fonts directory. Note that the
    LucidaSansRegular.ttf font is already contained in the Java 2
    Runtime Environment, so there is no need to bring that file over
    from the SDK.
    - jre/lib/audio/soundbank.gm
    This MIDI soundbank is present in the Java 2 SDK, but it has
    been removed from the Java 2 Runtime Environment in order to
    reduce the size of the Runtime Environment's download bundle.
    However, a soundbank file is necessary for MIDI playback, and
    therefore the SDK's soundbank.gm file may be included in
    redistributions of the Runtime Environment at the vendor's
    discretion. Several versions of enhanced MIDI soundbanks are
    available from the Java Sound web site:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/
    These alternative soundbanks may be included in redistributions
    of the Java 2 Runtime Environment.
    - The javac bytecode compiler, consisting of the following files:
    bin/javac [Solaris(TM) Operating Environment
                                 and Linux]
    bin/sparcv9/javac [Solaris Operating Environment
                                 (SPARC(TM) Platform Edition)]
    bin/javac.exe [Microsoft Windows]
    lib/tools.jar [All platforms]
    - jre\bin\server\
    On Microsoft Windows platforms, the Java 2 SDK includes both
    the Java HotSpot Server VM and Java HotSpot Client VM. However,
    the Java 2 Runtime Environment for Microsoft Windows platforms
    includes only the Java HotSpot Client VM. Those wishing to use
    the Java HotSpot Server VM with the Java 2 Runtime Environment
    may copy the SDK's jre\bin\server folder to a bin\server
    directory in the Java Runtime Environment. Software vendors may
    redistribute the Java HotSpot Server VM with their
    redistributions of the Java Runtime Environment.
    Unlimited Strength Java Cryptography Extension
    Due to import control restrictions for some countries, the Java
    Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files shipped with the Java 2 SDK,
    Standard Edition and the Java 2 Runtime Environment allow strong but
    limited cryptography to be used. These files are located at:
    <java-home>/lib/security/local_policy.jar
    <java-home>lib/security/US_export_policy.jar
    where <java-home> is the jre directory of the Java 2 SDK or the
    top-level directory of the Java 2 Runtime Environment.
    An unlimited strength version of these files indicating no restrictions
    on cryptographic strengths is available on the Java 2 SDK web site for
    those living in eligible countries. Those living in eligible countries
    may download the unlimited strength version and replace the strong
    cryptography jar files with the unlimited strength files.
    Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
    An endorsed standard is a Java API defined through a standards
    process other than the Java Community Process(SM) (JCP(SM)). Because
    endorsed standards are defined outside the JCP, it is anticipated that
    such standards will be revised between releases of the Java 2
    Platform. In order to take advantage of new revisions to endorsed
    standards, developers and software vendors may use the Endorsed
    Standards Override Mechanism to provide newer versions of an endorsed
    standard than those included in the Java 2 Platform as released by Sun
    Microsystems.
    For more information on the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism,
    including the list of platform packages that it may be used to
    override, see
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/standards/
    Classes in the packages listed on that web page may be replaced only
    by classes implementing a more recent version of the API as defined
    by the appropriate standards body.
    In addition to the packages listed in the document at the above
    URL, which are part of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
    (J2SE(TM)) specification, redistributors of Sun's J2SE
    Reference Implementation are allowed to override classes whose
    sole purpose is to implement the functionality provided by
    public APIs defined in these Endorsed Standards packages.
    Redistributors may also override classes in the org.w3c.dom.*
    packages, or other classes whose sole purpose is to implement
    these APIs.

  • Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

    Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

    Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
    If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
    If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

  • Zoom the screen with ctrl   2-Finger Swipe not working in Mavericks

    I just bought a new Macbook Air for my wife (running Mavericks) and can't figure out why the Zoom the screen with ctrl   2-Finger Swipe is not working.

    when i m in a call i touch the screen with my cheek and i keep on putting calls on hols or speaker..how do i solve this?if i don t want a headset?

    SORRY, the picture is just to illustrate and to better show the area where the time display is located, same place in the iPhone 3gs, to my knowledge, the location is the same, due to the OS on both phones.
    Second, run the test to see if it works:
    1st test: go to phone mode, select dial key pad, put the tip of your thumb in top of the time display ( the screen will not go black), try to dial.
    2nd test: place a call, after starts ringing switch the display to dial pad, put the tip of your thumb on top of the time display, the screen will not go black, try to dial.
    THE SCREEN WILL ONLY GO BLACK ( INACTIVE) IF YOU TOUCH A LARGER AREA TO THE TOP OF THE DISPLAY, IF THE THUMB ONLY TOUCHES THE TIME DISPLAY AND A LITTLE PART OF THE AREA WHERE THE NUMBERS APPEAR THE DIAL PAD DID NOT WORK EVEN WITH THE DISPLAY NOT GOING BLACK (INACTIVE).
    I am also trying in my wife's iPhone 4 as I right this post and both phones behave the same way.
    I found out what I stated above after running tests to see if the case was affecting the phones performance.
    Due to the thickness of the case on the sensor area, it really did affect the way the sensor was supposed to work, after I cut that part on the case, the sensor started to work perfectly and the screen turns off during a call like it is supposed to do.
    So before someone go nuts thinking that the phone is not working and that they have to take it to repair, try seeing if the case is not interfering with the phones performance.

  • When I run activity monitor with no programs running my dock shows fluctuating usage...between 4% up to 20%.  Random figures that come and go with corresponding CPU usage.  A little help?

    My activity monitor show random and fluctuating CPU usage at the Dock site with absolutelyno programs running.  %'s fluctuate between 3 - 20 and they pretty much come and go.  What might be causing this?

    There's a lot of background processes running that aren't documented as Apps as such. And some of them are the Time Machine backups, Spotlight searches, all kinds of small little bits of maintenance caches, there's a lot going on. So it's not completely out of the question that this is 'normal' for a Mac. If it were 50% or more I would be concerned but if it spikes up to 20% for a second or two you are probably not in any trouble of any kind.

  • To fetch data on the basis of last program run date and time

    Hi all,
    My query is as folows:
    I am selecting BOM components from STPO table on the basis of some criteria.
    My requirement is to select only BOM components which are newly added or created after last program run,i.e. STPO-AEDAT and STPO-ANDAT are greater than last program run.Here i fetched last program date from customised structure(client specific) which has date field also,and compared with aedat and andat in STPO records.But how can I connect it with last run time as there is no such time field in STPO table.I need to fetch this data on the basis of last program run(time+date).
    Please help me..it's crucial,
    Thanks in advance,
    Meena

    Hi,
    We had a very similar requirement.
    We developed a custom-solution for this.
    Create a Z-Table and update it with your progname, date and time.
    Whenever the BOM was changed, it generated a change number ( this has to be done by the user)
    You can get the date and time from the change Number Table AENR and compare it with the timestamp in Z-TABLE
    Hope it helps,
