Reset window positions

I suspect that my father's iPhoto "adjustments" window has been moved so far out from the screen, that he can't find it when he clicks on the "adjustments" button in edit mode. When he clicks on "Effects" the window pops up, but he can't see that anything happens when he clicks on "Adjustments".
Is there a way to reset the window positions in any way? Or to move a window without having to actually click and drag it?

Try reset the display resolution: System Preferences -> Displays. This will often recover a missing window.
Or try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

Reset windows positions to default

hey, I used the applescript in this post ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1307400 )
to set the position of my finder and ichat windows.
but i want to set the ichat windows back to default - anyway i can do that?

Open a finder window and drag the
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
file to your desktop, then reboot the computer.
NOTE - this will reset ALL finder prefs back to default.
If you do not like the results of this, drag the com.apple.finder.plist
file from the desktop back to the /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/
folder and aswer yes when asked if you want to replace the
com.apple.finder.plist file.

Annoying airplay resets windows positions every time??

Every time I connect to airplay, it changes the resolution and thus changes the positions and sizes of each window. Is there a way to stop this? I have to move and resize 20 windows each time I connect and disconnect to airplay.

Seriously no one uses airplay?

External displays - browser window position when disconnected display

I'm using a laptop, connecting one or two external displays, - one using the HDMI port, second using an USB "dock station" (Toshiba standalone). Second screen normally to the right, third screen (usb) above the laptop screen.
Often when I have disconnected the USB external display, my Firefox browser window are still "on the third display" - position as if this display was still active.
Even if I quit Firefox and restarts ( or even restarts windows ) the same position window is retained. The only way to fix it (when the USB connected display is not available), is to change the window position of the second (HDMI) display to cover the area of the USB one, then move Firefox window to my main laptop display, and then reposition the second screen back to the normal.
Normally, I expect applications to automatically reposition the windows to the available display(s) under the conditions that an extra display is removed. However, this seems not to happen with Firefox. It's inconvinient, but possible to fix with the second screen available, but I'm lost when I am not able to connect an external display ...
Is there any solution to this? Is it possible to change (reset) window positions directly in RegEdit ??

Dear varkgirl:
Thank you very much for your help and valuable suggestion.
I've tried your suggestion but ran into some problems. The links I am trying to open in another window are actually PDF files that the viewer can download from my website.
Since I was having problems I decided to try something else. After publishing the website to my desktop I then opened the pages where the links are in Dreamweaver. The layout view is great and displayed the image just the way it appears on the browser's window. I first selected the "link button" to the file and then in the inspector windows (bottom of the page) I chose under target the "_blank" option. This tells the software that the linked page or file is to be opened in a new blank browser window. I then saved the page (re-saved it over the existing file) to incorporate the changes. After this I proceeded to navigate through the website and everything works great.
Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just thought I would post this here in case it may be of help to you as well as others.
Best regards,

Rest window position?

After plugging in an external projector, my resolution got messed up since the default multimonitor config is mirrored. Now I'm back at my native res, but my floating CPU window from Activity Monitor has disappeared and I can't find it anywhere. Is there a way to reset window positions for an app? I'm sure it's somewhere out of bounds and I'd like it back.

Try the largest resolution size to reveal the window. If that doesn't work, run this in the Terminal app:
*defaults read com.apple.ActivityMonitor "NSWindow Frame FloatingWindowFrame"
which will show you where it's located. Then, you could use TextEdit to change the values of the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist file to change the first two numbers to something like 1150 750 (window's upper left-hand corner) which should put the window near the screen's center. Experiment a bit by turning the window on and off with the new settings.

How Do I Reset The Finder Windows Positions?

Hi,
I would like to "reset my finder windows positions". Anyone knows how I can do that?
Thanks.

So I cannot edit the .DS_Store file?
You can try, as I do not know how good you are at working with binary files. When I try to edit a .DS_Store on my system I see:
^@^@^@^ABud1^@^@p^@^@^@^H^@^@^@p^@^@^@^P^L^@^@h^K^@^@
lots and lots of ^@ with occasional other characters mixed in.
So what will it happen if I delete the .DS_Store file? Will my iMac's all Finder Windows be reseted?
The Finder will forget information about that Folder. Where it is positioned on the screen, how the files in the folder are arranged, etc...
If you are concerned, create an experimental folder, put some junk files in the folder (stuff you can delete later). Arrange things in the experimental folder, play with the size of the experimental folder.
Now delete the .DS_Store for that file. See what happens in a safe experimental way. If you like the results, apply the same to folders you want to reset.
"for each Folder", what do you mean?
If you want to reset more than 1 folder, you would repeat the .DS_Store for each folder that you are interested in resetting.

Got the "apple firewire ntsc" choice to show up even if grayed out and "missing" under "audio/visual" menus by recreating choices in Easy Setup under "final cut pro" MENU thank GOODNESS because I was reading horror stories on here about this under another thread with someone trashing preferences, reinstalling and the works and still not getting it to show up...on my search now for an analog/digital converter up at b&h...find it odd that the s video connector wouldn't show the crt monitor when I put both displays through the 3870...I switched it back to see if it worked again when only the one dell monitor display was there and there it is again mirroring the screen display on my desktop...just can't be seen as an "external monitor" in fcp...couldn't find anything specific in the shane ross threads to this. I'm sad the program doesn't just see the s video connection though the 3870 though my computer does fine and will query up at b&h in regard to what might be affordable as far as a digital/analog converter. It's also weird in itself that when I put the two dell monitors on the one card my computer no longer could see the s video crt connection...makes no sense. Will report in later as to what I discover up at b&h as I'm sure there's a world of people out there using this sony crt monitor still even into the upgrades with computers and software so I imagine therein lies the solution. Thanks again and I'll report in as to what hardware might be suggested for me.

Mail Window Position Resets on Launch (argh)

this has been happening for years for me and i've never been able to find an answer. i was hoping that upgrading to leopard would fix the issue, but it hasn't...
whenever i "quit" mail, i have to make sure the message viewer window is front & focused; otherwise, when the next time i launch mail, the window resets to its default location & configuration; then i have to go back and set all my viewing preferences again (ie: window position & column views mostly).
does that make sense?

Did a clean install. That showed it who was boss!!! lol

Studio CE IDE saving Window positions

For some reason my installation of Sun ONE Studio (on Windows 2000) has stopped saving window positions on exiting.
Every time I start the IDE it is completely empty (no windows open). Before it would save the window positions, open files, etc, so that every time I started it things would be the same as when I exited the application. It's understandably driving me nuts.
Does anyone know how to restore this functionality or if I'm failing to check certain options or preferences....
Thanks,
-T

I managed to 'reset' things by creating and specifying a new user-dir as per:

A few settings had to be migrated over, but all is well again....for now.

Safari window positioning

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing safari window to be moved from original position when opening safari. It also does it sometimes after waking it up from sleep mode and opening safari. I trashed the prefrences and seem to be ok for a couiple of days but here this morning its doin it again. Any help would be apreciated. This is for the FP iMac

Sometimes window position problems relate to a Safari preference file problem.
Move to the desktop the com.apple.safari plist file found in your User Account (home)/Library/Preferences folder. Restart Safari. You'll need to reset your custom preferences, plus any custom settings in the Edit (spelling) or View (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons etc.) menus.
See if that improves the window remembering process.
Tabs and Windows:
Safari has its limitations when it comes to working with Tabs.
I have found the best way to work with tabs is using the 3rd party plug-in SAFT.
One of its many useful features is "always open browser window in tab". So your Video's would open in a new tab, rather than new window. Another useful feature is "warn before closing windows with tabs" - eliminates the inadvertent window close. Instead, a warning panel appears. And one of the most useful is remembering the tabs that were opened before you quit the program. Next time you open Safari, a panel appears asking if you want to reload the last sessions' tabs. Option includes deselecting one or more of them prior to the window opening.

Window Position & Prefs "Gone"

Every time I start up or restart, any window position, size, view etc info is gone, and I get a view very different than what I had set. I have tried to delete the Finder plist, but it did not help. I did notice something extremely weird as well.
I noticed that the Finder plist is actually deleting itself about every 30 - 60 seconds when I open the ~user Library prefs, and cannot find anything that might be causing this. Repairing permissions, running utilities such as DiskWarrior etc have not helped. This condition actually exists identically on two Macs I am using. The only thing in common is that I ran an updater for Missing Sync for BlackBerry from Mark/Space Software, and took note of the condition being created on the second Mac immediately after doing this update.
I don't really want to do a full reinstall of the System, as I suspect I will still end up with this "condition" after reinstalling my working applications.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A bit of troubleshooting .....
On a full restart, any windows left open will retain their position, view, etc - but closed windows "forget" when reopened.
During the safe boots, files were sent to the Trash, which are as follows:
In a folder called 501.245359984
and a folder called 501.245361007
annex_aux
annex.db
filetoken.db
FondResourceCache (only in the first folder above)
fonts.db
Local.fcache
qdfams.db
System.fcache
User.fcache
My startup items under my account are
iTunesHelper
Microsoft AU Daemon
iKey
MicrosoftMouseHelper
MicrosoftKeyboardHelper
Dashboard KickStart
EEventManager
iCalAlarmScheduler
textsoapHelper
Epson Scanner Monitor
All of these items were already in place - for a long time - before this problem started.
I cannot find /private in order to locate /private/var/run/StartupItems
Nothing unusual (at least that I can see) in either of the other two locations.
