Trouble gathering program windows after disconnecting display

I use a 23" Cinema display with my 15" Macbook. I have program windows on both screens. Then I unplug, close the lid (putting the computer to sleep), and go home. When I get home and open it up, often I have trouble gathering program windows onto my laptop. They're open, but i can't see the windows, only the program menu, as if the screen acts like the program windows are on another monitor. I know this because when I use expose, the windows come rushing back into view, but if i try and click that program window, it goes back to where it used to be, off screen. How do i 'consolidate' the windows to my laptop without having to restart?
Thanks,
Chris.

I have the same issue. It looks as though some applications are still running at non-doubled scale after disconnecting. Some applications (like Firefox 19+, iTerm, etc.) will display tiny drop-down menus (ex: trying to bookmark after disconnecting) as well as a byproduct.
I've found that changing the Display resolution to a scaled resolution, and then back to the resolution you want will "refresh" each of the applicaitons. Bit of a bummer that this workaround is required after disconnecting.

Mountain Lion opens the programs/windows after restart - sometimes

Hi
On ML exists the feature, to re-open all windows after reboot (in the Shutdown-window after pressing the Power-Button.) This option is always disabled.
But sometimes ML simply starts all the apps and show all the windows, which are opened before shutdown/restart. But: sometimes only - the most time it will work.
Can someone confirm this?
Thanks

How do you disable this annoying "feature". I don't to wait for all the programs from last use to re open and then have to close them all after I turn on my computer if I'm just there to use one program and get something done !!

Horizontal shifting bars on MBP 15 after disconnecting 24" LED cinema display and waking up from clamshell mode.

I use my MBP 15 (late 2011) with 24" Apple LED Cinema display in a clamshell mode. After disconnecting external display, and opening display, it shows horizontal shifted bars, so it becomes completely unusable. Have to hard reset laptop. Any hints on how to resolve this? Thanks.

Ok, more information for anyone that might care. The wake-up seems to be the familiar dark wake in order to go into hibernate mode. Except now, it's a death wake. Looking at the logs, I see that it happens exactly 70 minutes after sleeping, even though hibernatemode = 0 (which shouldn't hibernate at all!)
So my power settings look like this:
Currently in use:
standbydelay         4200
standby              1
halfdim              1
hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
darkwakes            0
gpuswitch            2
disksleep            10
sleep                10
autopoweroffdelay    14400
hibernatemode        0
autopoweroff         1
ttyskeepawake        1
displaysleep         2
acwake               0
lidwake              1
standbymode is 70 minutes, what a coincidence. I'm going to try setting it to 0 and see what that does.

MacBook Pro scrolling choppy after disconnecting from Cinema Display

Hi, I keep my 2.5 GHz 4GB RAM MBP in clamshell mode most of the time, connected to a 30-inch Cinema Display. When I pick it up and open it, scrolling in every application is super choppy and slow, and won't correct unless I reboot the computer. This is aggravating. Anyone have a fix? Thanks in advance!

Sometimes I experience the same after disconnecting my 24" display (in seldom cases, the mouse cursor is not painted correctly, as well).
Can you check - when it happens - if in System Profiler > Hardware > Graphic > Quartz Extreme is listed as 'supported'. I found it to be 'not supported' when the scrolling and display behaves strangly. Also the Menu Bar is not transparent any more.
Next to rebooting, logout and login again fixed the issue for me. But I am also looking for a better fix/explanation.

Macbook Pro dark screen after disconnecting from Cinema Display

Dear all,
the issue I am having:
- after disconnecting from Cinema display (having first put my Macbook Pro in "sleep" mode) I just ca't make the Macbook pro scren show anything....black display
- but is it really asleep? NO!!! It just STILL believes it's connected to the Cinema Display
That's what I though was happening, so I thought: "if I now plug in the thunderbolt-to-VGA dongle that I use for the videoprojector then the screen might come back... and.... Voilá! It comes back, BUT starts flickering until in the end it just dissappears....
I can reproduce the error all the time. Worse than that: a reboot does not help at all.
Looks like there is an internal hardware switch that must be left "engaged" and then the Mac just believes it is connected to an External screen and sends the signal though the thuderbolt port instead of through the screen!!!
WEIRD error/bug or whatever!!
I have no idea how to make this reach the Apple guys.... I tried to report a Bug but they asked me to join in as Apple developer which I just can't do (for working issues).
Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem, and whether Apple is taking care of it?
(this reminds me of an issue with an internal switch with the headphones in my old MacBook Pro.... after disconnecting the headphones, the internal switch was not being disengaged, so sound would NEVER come out as it was being sent to the headphones instead of to the speakers... Same problem here but with the Image??? :-((( )
Thanks a lot.

After installing Mountain Lion my MacBookPro crashes after disconnecting from Cinema Display

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion on my 15" MacBookPro (early 2011 first with Tunderbolt connector) it crashes after disconnecting from Cinema display (this Cinema does not have Thunderbolt but mini display port). It woked fine under Lion.
This crash occurs in following situation:
MacBookPro is in closed clam shell operation. When Cinema display is still connected, I put MacBookPro into sleep. Then I disconnect Cinema display mini diplay connector from Thuderbotl port.
When I get home and open MacBookPro it is in deep kernel crash.
It happens every time.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks
Rich

In Smartform How to display footer & some secndry window after Main window?

Hi,
My requirement in Smartform is to display footer and and secondary window after the Main window.
also if item goes to 2nd & 3rd Page then also after main window footer and some secondary window should appear.
Do i have to maintain footer and sec. window in Main Window itself
Plz tell me in detail.
Regards
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
In smartform, specific legth is allocated to each window, that you create for a page.
So, if you want to display secondary window on each page, create 1 secondary window with the required length and it will be displayed on each page.
And you have written that you want to display the footer of main window also on all pages. It won't happen when you display your footer in main window. you will have to create a new window for your footer as well. Main window footer will always get displayed at the end of the main window.
e.g. If your main window flows on second page, main window footer will be displayed on second page only.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Archana

The window title bar displays incorrectly after publishing a flash file. Captivate 4

When I open the .htm file after using the Flash option to publish, the wrong title displays in the title bar at the top of Internet Explorer's window; instead it displays a former file name. I was told that the window name is determined by the field located here: File> Document Info> Project Name; however, this is not the case on my PC. My coworker is able to publish it correctly, but I am not. The first picture below is the IE title bar and the second is where (I think) that title bar pulls from, Project Name. Please notice that mine differ. Any suggestions?

I've run into this issue in CP4 as well though I've never been sure why it happens. It looks like you're opening the swf through a browser to so, for want of a solution, the easiest workaround is the edit the html file.
open it in a text editor such as Notepad.
Five or six lines down you'll find the title element which defines the title as it will display in your browser titlebar: <title>This text is the title that displays in your browser title bar</title>
Just change the text the the title you want and save the html file.
If you go with this solution, I suggest that when you are publishing the project again you deselect the option "Export HTML" in the publish wondow. Otherwise you will have to edit your html file each time you publish.
Hope this helps.

IPhone sync on Windows XP - SyncServer keeps running after disconnect

When connecting iPhone to sync, after disconnect process SyncServer.exe continues to run using more and more memory. Eventually, system is at 100%. Only way to stop it is to run AVG virus scan. Anyone else encountered this problem? Don't want to try to sync phone until solved.
thanks for all help
Eric
Seattle

I am experiencing the same situation with Windows XP, but on a partitioned MacBook Pro with Windows XP on the bootlegged partition. I have narrowed it down to a function of iTunes and syncing, but when I put MobileMe into the mix it overwhelms my computer and gives me the error "SyncServer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and uses almost 90% of the processor as well.
I have uninstalled and installed iTunes and Mobile Me many times. My temporary fix, which is allowing me to "work" on the PC side is leaving the Mobile Me uninstalled.
Anyone else have a solution?

Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display

Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display. It's weird. Behavior is fine until I drag any browser window to the attached second display, and after this point it stops opening new windows but will still open new tabs in the same window. Restart fixes it until I drag the window back to the second display.
"Show all bookmarks" stops working too--won't open a new window.
This is after clean reinstall with total deletion of any Firefox/Mozilla folders and the previously installed app and a restart of the computer.
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Firefox 4

Pretty sure this is either:
'''Bug 644733'''
or
'''Bug 609405'''
(...and they may be reporting the same thing.)

Program windows too large after using migration assistant

This seems like a silly question. I just got my MacBook for Christmas and I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my iMac to the MacBook. It worked great except that the sizes of the program windows remained the same as well, and they are too big on this 13" screen for me to access things that are way down on the bottom of the window. I can't get a hold of the corner tab that allows you to resize the window manually because it is off the bottom of the screen. I did try minimizing/moving the task bar from the bottom of the screen, but the windows are still too big. I discovered the problem in iTunes, but I suspect it is universal. I'd appreciate any help you can offer! Thanks.

to doc m
I was having problems with my photo booth, when i'd open it up i could only see half of the pics that I had already taken. I couldn't delete them or anything. After reading what you wrote it had dawned on me, maybe it could have been the screen resolution. I followed your steps and now I can delete the pics I didn't want & I can also see the full photo booth thingy [:
even thou I didn't ask a question, you answered mine & thank you very much [:
