Someone messed with my settings, now Spaces working differently

This is what always happens before: I'd have windows open (let's say Firefox at fullscreen and a small Pictures window), and Pictures would be in front of Firefox because it's active. Whenever I decide to transfer this smaller window to another Space, I go to my Hot Corner to activate Spaces and I just drag the smaller Pictures window (still in front of Firefox) out to another space.
Now, I think someone messed with my settings 'coz whenever I activate Spaces, the smaller window goes behind the bigger window and I can't access it to drag it out to another space. I hope you guys understand what I mean. I've found a temporary solution for this by pressing my Expose button while Spaces is activated, but I'd really like to get my old settings back. How do I do this?

Are you sure that the pictures window is the active window? Is the name of that program (maybe iPhoto?) the name in the Title Bar when you hot corner to Spaces? When you go to the Spaces view, it should replicate the normal view exactly. The only item that I can't test this with is Firefox because I don't have that installed on my MacBook; but, Safari plus a smaller window in front replicate like they are supposed to. As far as I know, there is no setting or preference to change to where the open windowed screens will switch because you activated the Spaces view.
Try and test this with 2 windows that don't include Firefox and see if you get the same result.

I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Help- 5 yr old messed with the settings and now App world will not open....

My lovely daughter decided to mess with the settings. Not being able to read- she just did a bunch of touching pictures... JOY... now when I go to open App WOrld it tells me "Blackberry App works is not currently available in your country". We are in America, and the other PLaybook in the house still functions as per normal.
Any ideas what my 5 yr old pressed????

If you backed the Playbook up on your PC using the Desktop Manager software, you should be able to easily restore it.
You can also do a wipe on it, and then re-initilaize it back to its birthday.

My little sister messed with my password now i have to wait a million minutes HELP!!??

Yes my sister messed with my iphone now its stuck on the disabled page saying i have to wait 5,765,345

Sorry guess i should have put a bunch of these in: so you would know I wasn't serious about putting her up for adoption.
You let a 2 year old play with your iPhone without supervision? Not very wise. Maybe when you turn 13 you will know better.
Good luck with getting it working again.

How do I disable Autocomplete COMPLETELY without messing with other settings such as with the location bar? I still like to see websites there that I've been to, without typing it in every time, but just hate the autocomplete part.

Case: When I go to Tools - Options - Privacy then Location Bar options, there should be another option to where we can disable auto-complete from the Location Bar without messing with other settings. Example #1: I click "Nothing" and then I gotta type in the website I wanna go to every single time. Example #2: I click "History & Bookmarks" and then it auto-completes. Is there any other option just to disable Auto-Complete all together??

Is inline autocomplete enabled?

Is someone messing with me, or are things just screwed up?

yesterday fonts were not connecting in apps. today, pdf presets went away, disk utility not showing the same mounted drives as the finder, ect. ect. Is someone maliciously messing with my computer or are things just breaking all of the time?
no one here can fiddle with macs, and AI is not present.

Well, of course it did. Not only did you revert to an older system that doesn't have problems with whatever older software you're using, but you erased the hard drive and reinstalled the system, wiping out any possible issues caused by system corruption. In the absence of any troubleshooting, that doesn't tell you anything about Mountain Lion.
At some point in the future, you will have to upgrade. When you do, you will have more success if you do the following:
1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
6) Install the upgrade.
Some people recommend erasing your hard drive and installing the new system "cleanly." That certainly helps ensure that you don't have any problems with the new system, but is often unnecessary. I prefer to save clean installs for when they are actually necessary, but that is only an opinion. You can certainly choose to do a clean install if you prefer.

I used to access internet in mozilla firefox 9 with no proxy settings,now it works well under proxy server. but i can not access it in no proxy. help plz

i tried disabling windows firewall, and tried to add firefox in firewall also, but none of these works.

You can try to set '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''Network''' > '''Settings'''. If it's still not working you may have to contact the network provider.

Version 22 is too huge why did they mess with my settings when everything was PERFECT. Now I can't get FF back to normal.

Upon updating to version 22 the window stretched out and everything became HUGE.
Why on earth would you mess around with the size of the window and everything with in that window and make it look like it's for a person with a visual impairment?
Even going to about:config and changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx didn't fix the size of the Menu Bar (which is too tiny). Yet everything in the window is HUGE.
Everything on this page is huge and can't even fix on my window.

It was totally unnecessary to do this. Everything was perfect, until this change came along. I petition to have this change reverted back to how it was in the previous versions.

Did someone mess with my phone???

tthere was a point tonight where I had my phone out but didn't ever use it, I left it someplace where at least my coworker would be able to watch it, I left it without thinking honestl, I come back thinking nothing of it. Tonight I go back to my podcasts that I was listening to before work, all of my podcasts are marked as listened. All of the ones I downloaded yesterday are gone. This just doesn't happen. Ever. I'm angry if this is what happened.

Manok wrote:
i don't see this as an apple glitch. There's just no way they'd release something that randomly erased everything, and marked everything as played.
The Podcast app doesn't have a particularly good reputation, even though it's from Apple.
I'm not really sure what we can do to help you here. Short of an expensive forensic analysis, you're going to have trouble determining if anyone touched your phone. If your co-workers have a history of tampering with your belongings, don't leave your phone unattended. Put a better passcode on it. Report them to their supervisors if it continues. l

My MacBook Pro won't charge when I plug it in. the green or orange light won't even turn on. The computer is dead already, so I cannot mess with my settings. What do you suggest?

I have a Mac Book Pro with the serial number: C0*******TY3 and the model no: A1278. I wanted to charge it this morning, and it won't charge meaning that the light even won't turn on, and also my computer is dead, so I cannot change anything on the system preferences. What should I do? I will make an appointment at the Genius Bar, but what do you thing the problem is here?
<Edited By Host>

First see the MagSafe troubleshooting tips:Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters and check to see that all looks ok. You might want to try using another charger in case the charger is faulty. If that doesn't help, take the MacBook Pro and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test the system to see where the fault is.

My Iphone 4s says connected to TV and will not let me watch any videos on Safari, and only plays sound through the device. I have not messed with the settings, and have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It's update is IOS 6.1.3

I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

ICloud update messes with Regional Settings on non-English Windows 7

I have Windows 7 in French.
Since the recent update of iCloud (and also iTunes and Quicktime), my other software (Sage 50 Accounting) is dropping the digits entered after the decimal point.
Strangely, while I have iCloud installed, when I open Sage 50 Accounting first and then select my data file to open, the problem occurs, yet if instead I open the data file directly and let Windows open the associated software (Sage 50 Accounting), the problem doesn't occur.
If I uninstall iCloud, the problem is resolved, however, I'd like to continue using iCloud if possible.
Any ideas what's going on here?

It appears that you did not follow the step in Bootcamp Assistant where you were to download the Windows Support software. You then had to install the Support software from within Windows. Did you do that step? The display drivers are part of the Support software.
