Song information popup behind other windows

I normally minimize iTunes to the system tray. When I want to know which song I'm listening to, I'll hover my mouse over the iTunes icon to see a popup window with the artist, album, and title.
However, every once in awhile, iTunes gets confused and this popup window appears behind my other windows. Reloading iTunes does not seem to help.
Here's a cropped screen shot of what I'm talking about: http://thentao.com/iTunesPopUp.JPG
Has anyone else seen this? If so, is there a fix and/or workaround?

Followup: I just realized this is NOT an iTunes issue. I see the same behavior on other windows in the system tray - so it's something goofy about Windows.
As a result, I'm marking this question as answered.
Still... If anybody knows of a workaround, I'm all ears.

Active Window Appears Behind other Windows on W2K8 R2 RDS Server

We are using a W2K8 R2 server running RDS and Xenapp 6.5. While using IE 10 and selecting the print option which calls the Crystal Reports Print Control 14 download control for IE 10 the print setup window appears behind all other windows. I have some
other applications that place the active window behind other windows. I tried the reg fix but that didn't work.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have commented the issue appears from single user, so try to delete the user profile cache and see whether it can resolves the issue. Also you can remove all the permission assigned to that users for a try.
You can delete user roaming profile cache as follows.
To resolve this issue, add a REG_DWORD value named DeleteRoamingCache to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DeleteRoamingCache
Set the value data to 1.
After this restart the system and try to login on system and also try to login faulted users on other system to check the result.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Can anyone answer this question for me? I am very frustrated with this issue. I had a lot of family members give me itunes gift cards for Christmas so that I could purchase appropriate songs for slideshows that I make for grandchildren and other family members. I cannot get any of the songs into my slideshows as it says that they are mp4's. Someone told me that they have to be mp3's and then someone told me that I could convert them to mp3s within itunes and export them to my slideshows. I am not selling the slideshows, only doing this as a hobby and am now upset that I spent so much time and money on songs I cannot use. Is this true, I can never use them in my slideshows? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Depends what they are. If you purchased .m4p files, be aware that they contain Apple-proprietary DRM "protection" that prevents their use in non-Apple programs. If you purchased .m4a files, you can use iTunes to convert them to MP3.
For future reference, since you plan to use your music for multiple purposes, the most compatible format, by far, is MP3. Make sure that all music you purchase or rip is in MP3 format.

New window open behind other windows?

I'm apple clicking links to see them in their own window. They are coming up behind current windows, shouldn't be other way around? shouldn't they come in front of current windows?

Hi Kevin,
Yes, they used to. Not sure why Apple changed things but now you need to set the following pref:
Safari Preferences -> Tabs -> Select tabs and windows as they are created -> Check this
Even if you have tabs turned off for apple+click, this preference still alters the new window behaviour.
Hope that fixes it for you.

Firefox moves behind other windows

Is there a workaround for the following bug?
Open a firefox window and another window under osx (lion or higher). Ensure that firefox is focused. Now switch to another space (for example a fullscreen app) and then switch back. Now firefox moves behind the other window.
This bug is annoying, so please help me if anyone knows a solution.
thanks

Hi WernerScherer,
I believe this is acting as expected. In mac if you click on another application it comes to the front/focus. How was this working before?

Firefox seems to open popups and other windows despite block popups being selected.

I have selected "Block Popup Windows" under Tools-Options-Content, but popups still come. In fact, some mouse clicks on websites will open up multiple copies of Firefox instantly, many with advertisements.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Dialog Boxes pop up behind other windows :(

Once in a while an application wants my attention. It would then throw up a dialog box and start bouncing in the Dock. So far so good.
Unfortunately, if the application's window is positioned behind something else, the dialog box pops up in front of its parent window, but BEHIND whatever is in front of it!
Now I know that the app needs my attention but I have to find it and then find its dialog box (the app itself is unresponsive till I deal with the dialog).
This behavior happens in many different apps (Toast and ControllerMate are good examples) and is a real pain. Is there a setting somewhere that I missed or mis-interpreted?
Many thanks in advance
A>

Thanks!
I thought I was just being stupid ( I do that sometimes).
Followup: is there an app out there that would bring dialog boxes upfront, so that I do not have to hunt them down?
Or maybe there is an applescript that activates a bouncing app?
Thx!

How do I put digitizing window behind other windows while digitizing?

I just upgraded to FCP 5.0.1 and ever since (while digitizing), the digitizing window stays in the forefront and I can not go on the web or work in other applications during the process. I never had this problem in the past. I'm thinking it's a preferences thing but I'm not sure.
Applications do launch..it's just that the windows (i.e. the safari browser window) comes up behind the digitizing window. And it won't come to forefront.

I think you're asking for trouble and dropped frames trying to do much while capturing...
AFAIK, there is no preference to allow the window to be pushed down...

Xfce4-panel behind other windows

Like the topic says, I'd like to make windows in xfwm4 appear on top of xfce4-panel, not beneath it. The reason is that my panel is getting fat and screen size can't keep up
Is there any setting, I need to tweak to achieve this?
Thanks.

Not quite what you are looking for, but you can make it auto-hide.

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
Good Luck.

I have OPTED OUT of hot deals (and 2 others, the third will not let me its behind its window) and it will not turn off - how do I turn it off forever?

You have an opt out option.
THIS opt out option has a forever option.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
I have opted out forever on the stupid )(&**%^*&()*^ tab that occurs in the MIDDLE OF MY SCREEN, covering a THIRD of my screen (and at 62cm - this is over kill!) .... FAIL. (at least 4 times)
I have opte dout forever on the stupid tab on the RIGHT side of my screen......FAIL.(at least 8 times)
I am unable to opt out forever on the tab that appears on the bottom of my screen, as the opt out options appears BEHIND the window I wish to opt out forever of. (I call this EPIC fail.)
When I am reading a story on line, I DO NOT WANT TO SHOP. If I am shopping in Amazon for a book, I will be reading about that book. IT IS ANNOYING TO HAVE TO CLOSE OUT WINDOWS EVERY TIME I SEARCH FOR A NEW BOOK - consider that I search/buy around 15 books at a time - after checking out maybe 50 that these tabs open over the TOP of.
I also wish to get rid of the underlines with the green circle-thingy arrows that open pop up windows if I mouse over them. (there are 3 of them under this box I am typing in as I type, and nudging the mouse out of the way has opened up at least 4 stupid pop up windows - which I have blocked pop ups in the options...so WHY???????)
I realise this can not be fixed on the spot, as it is going to require an actual programmer to fix it but please, pass this up to or over to whoever CAN fix it. I have used firefox since before patch 4 after it went live. I ADORED the old "you are F****d (etc" page you used to have that was directly opposed to internet explorers page not found - and I actually took the time to read it and had a terrible time stopping the laughter (at work of all places) when I did. I do not want to change browser, but these *features* do not enthrall me - especially since *features* should be optional, and turning them off should work.
Thank you for your help, and I hope you have a great day/night and no more horribly painful people like me. <3 x o

thankyou. THANK you.
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
sorry about no screenie but the first option worked (at least so far!)

I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list. I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

When I have my Firefox browser running, if I bring up a document from my computer, it appears briefly, then disappears behind the browser. It shows in the taskbar, but won't stay on top until I minimize all other windows.

Hi NicoMan,
According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
Best regards
