Terminal behavior when exiting screen apps like "Top"

Hello.
I have a problem I had with my older PowerBook that I cannot remember how I fixed. How do you stop the screen from clearing when you exit a text based app like Top or Vi. I remember some sort of setting that can be changed but...
I have done some searching but can't find an answer, I think that the terms are a little too common, like screen, clear, whatever.
Anyway, thanks in advance if this one comes up a lot.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I don't know what else to tell you, except to ensure that you have the bottom three options enabled. It works here. This is the output from two consecutive runs of top with the window set to display 41 lines.:

DSM Terminator issue - when exiting, user sees "about blank" screen

This issue is being experienced by two of our Portal users. When the user exits the portal, they get an "about blank" internet explorer page that is minimized in the Windows taskbar. When viewing the "about blank" page properties, there is no information about the page. It allows you to maximize it into a blank white screen or close it out. Also, before this page is loaded, when exiting the Portal a quick screen flashes before the Portal screen closes. The screen basically says
****Closing sessions... Transmission protocol, DSM Terminator v.6.060 (sync) (long portal address) Request PREPARED for sending via client (Finished 1 request(s) distributed*****
Both users experience this issue everytime they exit their Portals. We have tried numerous troubleshooting measures to fix the problem and we've isolated it to their specific computers, not their usernames. We have had this before and reformatting does fix the issue, but we want to know how to avoid reformatting and just fix the one issue. We've scanning the computer for spyware/viruses, checked their startup configuration, cleaned temp/temp internet/cookies, tried different user names. Thanks for your help on this!

First off the DSM terminator window is completely normal. This is client side javascript that closes the connection to R3. This can be run server side if you need it to but doesn't work if the connection is done over SSL.
As far as the popup window, I would try and restore the defaul IE settings.

Problem when exiting an app that was launched with Jawa web start

Hey
Using java web start my jdk/jre is 1.6 u1. I can deploy and launch/install my apps fine, but when i exit them a instance of javaw.exe is eating memory. With a few stops/starts of my app i finnally crashed the computer with about 15 javaw.exe processes up and running.
The app terminates fine if i launch it from command line or eclipse.

I spotted this
http://lopica.sourceforge.net/faq.html#linger
which says that for some reason you have to call System.exit for Swing apps and for some reason webstart turns all apps into Swing apps!
I'm using SWT and thought that closing the shell should shutdown the JVM correctly, perhaps Swing has some nasty non-daemon threads hanging around ? I'd love to know more so if anyone has got any detailed information, that'd be great.

External screen dims when opening different apps?

Hi All ----
Seems my external screen dims and rectifies when opening different apps - like some kind of brightness adjustment going on... it doesnt happen on the MBP, just on the external screen --- i've checked all possible settings on Ext. Displ. / re-booted / repaired perms... cant quite figure it out.
I dont think this is energy-saver related.
Many thnx for any help in adv. ---
cheers,
J.

The problem with that is, it's hard to put it back together without assuring that you're not pinching the cable again.
Instructions can be found here.
As he says, the cable can be found at Small Dog Electronics:
http://www.smalldog.com/product/43417
If you need replacement feet, they can be found at MicroDoc.
The specific link you need on PowerBook Tech's website can be found here.
If it looks like too much for you to handle, you may want to check out DT & T Computer Services. Perhaps in a metropolitan area like Austin you can check the Yellow Pages and find a technician willing to match the price.
At one point, DominionTech in Colchester, Vermont was offering the repair for $79.90, but I'm not sure if that price is still available.
Good luck.

Why does my dock get stuck when using full screen apps?

When using a full screen app like Safari, if I go back to my desktop and to the dock (which i keep minimized) it stays there when going back to the full screen app. I have to go back to the first page and hover over the dock to get it to go back. Not sure whats going on...

I may not have explained exactly...so basically when i go to the main desktop screen, and open a program or use the dock, it sometimes gets stuck in show mode. Then when i go back to the safari full screen app for instance, the dock stays up, with the latest program highlighted. In order to get the dock to go away, i need to go back to the desktop and hover over the dock again for it to hide.
I really hope someone else is experiencing this because its very annoying and I want apple to fix it quickly

Display Notifications on top of full screen apps

Hi, is it possible Display Notifications on top of full screen apps like Plex/Kodi/XBMC?
cant seem to get it to work...?

I made some changes (navto://), but yesterday my folio completely disappeared in Content Viewer (iPad) and can't get it back. I need to fix this first and will let you know if my buttons are working.
Edit: figured out why my folio disappeared. By accident I gave two articles the same name. No error message but it made the folio disappear completely.

It looks like the blue/red screen of death but just a very quick flashing. so far no other problems occured but it sokehow makes me uncomfortable especially the phone is only less than 3 weeks old. Is it a hardware problem?

How do I stop the menu from showing up when I hover to the top of a full screen app?

I am running Parallels in full-screen on Lion and when I move the cursor towards the top of the full screen app the menu pops up. How do I stop the menu from popping up? I keep hitting an icon on the menu bar that pulls it out of full screen mode and it's getting very annoying. Thanks.

Use VMware Fusion? But seriously, Fusion does what you want. It just puts a mini VM control menu at the top when running full screen (and that's configurable, too), so the main menu bar doesn't appear at all. Which means that it's up to Parallels to handle this. Are you running Parallels 7, which is designed for Lion? If you are and Parallels still doesn't offer something similar, you need to contact Parallels.

You might start with:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?

HT4428 My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3. It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button. No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right.

My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3. It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button. No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right! Note : This problem persists after HDMI cable has been changed, and Apple TV was reset. My another iPad 4 64Gb also on the same most updated ISO has no problem.

I restarted the iPad, it is okay now! I think it is because I have been using the smart cover for too long, without shutting down the iPad completely! It just works fine with the airplay signal appearing again after restarting the iPad.

Just brought a new iPod touch and when I set it up (twice now, after resenting to factory settings) there are grey squares on all screens at the top and the apps over these squares won't open. Any suggestions?

I can't envision what yo are seeing.
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Wallpaper is flashing when exiting apps to Home Screen

My Wallpaper will go flashing whenever I exiting apps to go to Home Screen. Just thought the bug comes from enabling WiFi, but after disable wallpaper, the symptom still exist.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
What type of wallpaper are you using? Is it a preloaded/live wallpaper? Is the wallpaper flashing several tiems? If not, I think the reason why it flashes is because some apps are using another resolution than the home screen. And when you exit an app, the home screen need to restore the right resolution.
You might seen the same thing happen on a PC when you tab out from a game or similar.

Which app is asking for permission when iOS 7 shows a notification that says: "exited?" would like access to twitter accounts

Is this notification coming from geofencing? Why would it need access to my twitter accounts?

I have both this and a slightly different question. I have multiple Twitter accounts on both my iOS5 and iOS6 (test) devices. i like to post tweets from various apps like the Wall Street Journal, etc. In my case, the built-in functionality simply seems to pick the first of my Twitter accounts in my list of accounts in the Settings panel, and post to that one. It would seem to make sense that there should be a user-selectable option for which account(s) should process a tweet, and it probably ought to be system-wide. No?
