Spaces randomizes the z-order of windows

I just got my shiny new iMac yesterday and was really happy to find Spaces and start using it- until I hit a bug
Switching Spaces randomizes the z-order of the windows in the Space. For example, if I have a browser window in front of a Finder window, switching out and back into the Space will pretty much always move the finder window in front of the browser.
Please tell me there's some fix for this- it's incredibly annoying.

Perhaps Finder application is assigned to Every space. Open System Preferences, Exposé & Spaces, Spaces. If Finder.app is in the column Application Assignments and Every Space is set then a finder window will appear in front of all other windows when you switch between spaces.
To prevent application windows reordering, select the app name in Application Assignment column then click minus button.

How do I fix the space between the bottom of my window and taskbar?

Recently (today) firefox has had a space between the bottom of the window and my taskbar. I've tried reinstalling and safe mode, and it doesnt go away. Here is a screenshot of the issue. http://imgur.com/mTQtrDN

Nice Work.

Is it possible to sort the document order in Windows 7 taskbar preview?

I am using Reader X and open many PDF docs at once.
When I hover the mouse over the taskbar icon for Adobe Reader the list of all open documents appears, but they do not appear sorted by the document name.
Is this possible to configure - either in Windows 7 or in Reader?

Not possible to configure this in Adobe Reader.

I have add-ons (Convert to PDF, Edit in Contribute, Post to Blog) that use small icons, yet take up 2 rows of space at the top of my browser window. How do I move these items to display on 1 row?

''Problem: too much blank space at the top of browser window.''
• The Convert to PDF icon takes up 1 entire row (predominately blank) of horizontal space
• Edit in Contribute, Post to Blog are listed on a separate row, taking up 1 additional row (predominately blank) of horizontal space
They both use small icons and titles, .5" wide each, are flushed to the left, yet take up 2 rows of blank space at the top of my browser window. How do I move these items to display on 1 row?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode) and choose the 'Reset toolbars and controls option'. This will get you back to the stock icon set which you can then customize to your liking

I can't get album tracks in the correct order

Hello
The tracks in my 'favourite worst nightmare' album by arctic monkeys are in the wrong order and i can't fix it. All my other albums are fine.
The tracks are all in the correct order in windows explorer, but in itunes, they are listed 4,5,2,3,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1
They are all by same artist, same year, same album, same genre.
When i search for the album and get it on its own, i am able to put it in correct order, but as soon as i cancel the search and view the full library, the songs go back into this dodgy order.
Any suggestions ?
thanks

I am having a similar problem with my Goo Goo Dolls album, Let Love In - I've had it for months and it has been fine but the other day it started to lose the correct order - it started with only one song but then it spread and it was so random I couldn't listen to the album (I am very particular about the order of albums) - Now it seems to only be the first song that is out of place, it is at the end BUT I have no control over changing the order anymore, something that has changed because I used to be able to do that - I haven't updated because of all the trouble everyone had with 7.2 so I have 7.1.1.5 - I HOPE that someone can help me here because I can't listen to that album anymore and I Love the Goo Goo Dolls...

I have plenty of space on my hard drive (500GB), but when I plug in my iPhone there is a window stating the pone cannot be backed up because of lack of disk space. The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes.

I have plenty of space on my hard drive (500GB), but when I plug in my iPhone there is a window stating the pone cannot be backed up because of lack of disk space. The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes. The hard disk was replaced recently in order to gain extra memory. Is there some sort of limit set up from the original hard drive causing this problem?

Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is unable to complete the repair you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

Boot camp does not give me the option to make a partition, instead it just gives me the options to download windows support software, install windows 7, etc. I do not want any of these, I want to set aside the space on my hard drive!

Hello, I wish to install Linux Ubuntu on my macbook pro by using boot camp to set aside space. Whenever I load the Boot Camp Assistant application out of the utilities folder in applications, it only gives me the options to download windows support software and install windows 7. I do not want this, I just want to be able to slide that little bar to set aside the space on my hard drive that i can use for Linux. I tried just downloading the windows support software but my internet is immensely slow and it has been an hour or so since it started and it's not even half way done. When this download is finished will i get the option to partition or will i just be faced with those same options?
I am on a 13" macbook pro, with apple OS X snow leopard version 10.7.2
A lot of the data on this macbook was transferred over from my old macbook i had.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thank you for reading.

Well thank you for your honesty. Apple requires you have to have a Mac to develop iPhone apps, ergo my foray into OS-Xland. No way around it that one except for running OSX in a VM, which would have probably saved me some quid, true enough.
BUT for those interested parties: VirtualBox has a startup script in /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox that will prevent OSX from fully booting on the initial (and required) rEFIt boot cycle. Once I temporarily moved that out of the StartupItems rEFIt went in as expected.
FYI, the openSUSE desktop running native is a little peppier than OSX native which was a nice surprise. Now if the Mac just had more open source software we would have a deal. (:

How to change the title of an object in the build order window?

In Keynote '09 v5.1.1 (1034)... How to change the title of an object in the build order window from the default "dropped image" to a specific title?
I'm running the following:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB

Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP21.00A5.B08
SMC Version (system): 1.14f5

Custom names can't be applied to objects in the build list.
They are labeled as either; text, shape, table, chart or the filename of an image

In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photos in the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them to disk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doing wrong?

In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photosin the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them todisk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doingwrong?

When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

How to I increase the space between the top of tabs and the frame of the entire window? It was fine until Firefox updated

Hello,
How to I increase the space between the top of tabs and the frame of the entire window? It was fine until Firefox updated and since it updated it reduced the space. Now the space is too thin which makes it more difficult to move the open window frame around when I need to grab something from Desktop. Image attached.

In the image, see how thin the space is right above the tab? It was much wider before Firefox update so if any know how to make it wider again, please let me know. Thank you

HT4818 How do I increase my space on the Windows partition side of my Mac?

Help! I have installed a Windows partition using Bootcamp. I need to increase the amount of space for The Windows portion. Right now it's 20GB. After I've installed QB 2012 and Norton Anti Virus I am out of room!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to uninstall Windows. In Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant, delete the volume and create that again. Finally, install Windows

I just ordered a macbook air today and need to know if the 128gb SSD is enough space. I presently have a macbook pro and am using only 30gb hard drive space so, the apple rep said 128 is enough as I do not load much pictures or gaming etc. Also is i5 ok.

Id choose the I5 yes, depends on what your usage is going to be,
....your question about "128 gig being enough" begs the question for IDEALIZED USE of your macbook AIr
In the case of a Macbook Air with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
*Generally, unless you NEED the data at least once every few weeks or once a month,...it really does'nt NEED to be on the SSD of your Macbook Air.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Ive got more APPS than any human should have on my 128gig AIR,..(50 or so),....and 10gig of working data, important files etc etc.
Still have 82gig available....... the entire point is that someone shouldnt consider the Air a "storage device" for tons of pics, music, vids, etc.
*Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.
For needs of packing around a LOT of "big data" with your Air in its case..., get a nice 1TB HD for $70, or even a 2TB drive not much bigger.
Perfect 2TB HD, very slim, the "little giant" made by Toshiba (have several of these) $119
