Safari main window not showing up in my user account when launched

Safari main window is not showing up when launched in my user account.
For some unknown reason, there must be a bug with Space and Safari as when I switch from Space 1 to Space 2 (and vice versa) I can see the Safari main window for less than 1 sec but could not fix it to show up and stay in the foreground in any of the 4 Spaces areas.
I have tried to desactivate Space or change some settings in Space but could not fix the issue.
Last but not least, Safari is working well for all other user accounts on my Mac.
I have updgraded my OS to 10.5.7 and Safari v4 last patch but I have the same issue for 1 month

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try deleting this file. com.apple.safari.plist
/Users/YourName/Libary/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. See if that helps...

Buddy not showing online on one user account

I have multiple user accounts on one IMac. One buddy shows up as always offline on one account but shows up as online on the other accounts (the buddy is online). I've checked and rechecked the AIM account name and it is correct and identical to the one on the account that is working. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks

Hello Ralph,
I've really got myself confused and hope you can help.
iChat has been working flawlessly for me - iMac 20" Duo OS X10.5.2. Have a friend in NY with an AIM account running OS X10.4.11 but though we can see each other, I cannot hear her - she can hear me. However, when I went to my iMac PPC G4 running OS X10.4.11, we can both hear and see each other perfectly.
I have another friend in Berkeley with an iMac Duo OS X10.5.2 and we can iChat perfectly. But when she tried to chat with our friend in NY running Tiger, same thing - Berkeley can see NY but not hear her. Again, the NY person can hear both of us but we cannot hear her.
But when I go to my iMac G4 and try to chat with my Berkeley friend running OS X10.5.2, she appears offline. The only way to get her to appear online is to have her change her security setting to allow anyone. As soon as she does this, I can see her come online and we can chat. But, I appear offline to her even when I change my security setting to allow anyone. We could still chat though. We tried using the allow specific people, but that did not work either.
Now I run back upstairs to my iMac Duo, and sure enough, Berkeley and I can see each other online and chat just fine as usual.
The problem seems to be with trying to chat with someone running Tiger and the other(s) running Leopard. Perhaps something else? Changed Quicktime to 1.5, but did not fix the problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ralph.

Mail not showing up in secondary user account mail app

After buying a new macbook pro, I migrated my data from my Air to this new machine (after setting up my new system) and the Pro created a new user account to handle this. The problem is, the migrated user and its data are what I want the primary account to be. Everything works as normal as though it is, with the annoying exception of my mail app. The first account set up with this new machine is the only one that receives any of my emails to the mail app.
A few things to note:
I have verified that the migrated account (ie. the account I WANT as the primary user account for access to my emails via the mail app) has all the same email user settings as the other user account on the machine (the one I don't use as my primary).
Also, I have pretty decent knowledge of what I'm doing and am beating my head against the wall trying to figure out the problem.
Thinking of deleting the user account that was created when I first purchased this macbook Pro, but unsure if that will allow the account I want to use to be able to magically access my new emails coming in. For now, if I want to read any of my new incoming emails, I have to log off my primary user account and log into the other one I don't use. VERY annoying. Any help? Thanks

If you want to see Macintosh HD on the Desktop and you don't see it, that's because you have to turn on this feature. Open the Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "Hard disks".
Another way of seeing it is through Finder's sidebar. Open a Finder window, and Macintosh HD will appear on the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". If you don't see it there, open the Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark "Hard disks"

HD icon not showing up in "test" user account

Hi All,
I recently had problems with my MBP hard drive, which ultimately failed. I have since replaced it with a new 750 GB (7200 RPM) drive.
I decided to create a "test" user account with admin privileges for troubleshooting purposes.
However when I log in to this test account, the Macintosh HD icon is nowhere to be seen. I see the application icons in the dock, but no HD icon.
Just now, when I logged out of this test account, I got a solid blue screen (instead of the login screen) and had to force a shut down using the power button.
I have since deleted that account and created a new one with a different name, but still no HD showing up.
Any ideas on what might be going on?

Safari activity window not showing all items?

Hi
I have been using safari's activity window for downloading all sorts of media by using the activity window. However, the items in the activity window no longer show up. On youtube for example, the mb file is no longer showing up in the windows activity like it use to. In the past, when this problem occurred, refreshing the page would fix this problem but this method is no longer working. I have noticed that this problem is only happening to youtube. When i went to vimeo, the video file could still be viewed in the activity window whilst it was loading, e.g. 1.3 mb of 30mb. I am using a macbook pro running on mac os x with safari version 5.0.3.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply B Noir, but the issue seems to have resolved itself today Thanks for your advice though

HOW can I get my iTunes Libray MAIN WINDOW to show in LIST form (like before). NOW only shows an IMAGE GRID. HATE it. HELP please! THANKS!!

For the last 2 (maybe 3) updates iTunes has been showing my MUSIC LIBARY in a GRID of IMAGES with small caption below each image (usually an empty grey box, but occasionally tje front cover of album). It is a BIG waste of time to look at, go through and find any of my many hundreds of items.
I want / NEED "LIST VIEW" (or whatever it is called) back.
I have looked in SUPPORT / iTunes HELP / Preferences / ALL my menus - for ANY info on getting my LIST VIEW back.
Somebody PLEASE share with me HOW to get a LIST VIEW in the iTunes MAIN WINDOW (NOT the sidebar ...which is in a nice LIST foerm still thank God).
Going out of my mind on this one - and wasting LOTS of time, going through it.
Sure it's ALPHABETICAL (in an arbitrary fashion), but do they REALLY expect me to "REMEMBER" - or already know my choice - of what I am" looking for"?? Come on! I open iTunes, SEARCH through my (where'd it GO?) list and choose something that feels right for the moment. Most people do.
This IMAGE GRID just throws unnecessary obstruction into the experience and takes massive amounts of time to arrive at a selection (especially if it is not one of my first 40 albums (less than 10% of my libary). I want it gone - and a simple LIST VIEW back. ANY help VASTLY appreciated.

IWeb Main Page Not Showing

I've researched to death and tried everything but can't fix this.
Recently did a clean install on my iMac and since then iWeb won't work.
I have :
- Reinstalled from original disc then updated to latest version 3.0.4
- Deleted the com.apple.iWeb.plist file and com.apple.iWeb Cache Folder, restarted, and tried opening again
- I have removed my domain.sites2 file to try and open iWeb and initiate making a new site
iWeb is fully loaded and operational - in Activity Monitor it does not have a red flag - shows as being operational. I can access iWeb's Preferences, open and close various Inspectors, but the main window is simply not visible.
I am on Lion 10.7.2
I had updated my website using iWeb while on Lion 10.7.1
I have a small business and my website is outdated and will be losing me new customers at this point who will think I don't have the latest stock and information.
Any help appreciated - naturally no need to reply if 'fixes' are as per other posts and noted as having been tried above.

Where is the main page not showing? In iWeb or online?
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain or from Toad's Cellar.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone.

My audio books that were bought through Itunes on my Iphone do not show up on my Itunes account.

I bought audio books on my iphone, but they do not show up on my itunes account on my computer. The books I purchased through the computer show up on my itunes account. My phone is at it's max and I need to remove these books, but do not want to lose them. Thank you for your assistance.

This isn't completely coherent so I am not sure what is wrong other than some (al?) of your tracks have broken links.
If you are browsing through iTunes you are not looking at files you are looking at data entries that point to files, with those locations being incorrect right now.
There isn't a file called iTunes media, there is a folder that should be in your iTunes folder called that.
You mention something about external drives. I presume one is for your Time Machine backup but is the other one used for iTunes? If so, what do you keep there?

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

The General pane has checkboxes for various devices to show on the Desktop. A memory card is considered an external drive. If you want to see it on the Desktop when it mounts, check the external drives checkbox.
