Version 31 doesn't allow me to move windows on the desktop.

I have restored to default and uninstalled/reinstalled. The problem persists and started with an upgrade to 31.

Try to repair the disk permissions:

You're talking about the dock?
To check on that, go to System Preferences > Dock > indicate your preference.
I can get iTunes up, and safari, but i don't know how
Not sure what you mean - if you can "get it up" - does that mean you can launch it? What do you not know?

HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

Blinking Windows on the Desktop

Computer Dell Vostro 1510 with 2 GB RAM
Operating System: Windows XP with all service packs and updates
Recently I installed/updated Firefox to the latest beta version. That went well. The following day, I booted the laptop and windows on the desktop blinked in and out and shrank in size. If I double clicked on the shrunken window it would open and I could do some input. As long as the mouse pointer was on that window I was fine. If the pointer strayed away from that window or I had to go to another open window, the the blinking and shrinking would re-start.
I did check for viruses and malware and none were found. I have had this happen in the past with another beta version of FireFox and the only solution was to remove it. Firefox was never opened during the sessions.

That's very strange. If you check the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc > Processes tab), if Firefox.exe running invisibly? If not, it's hard to see how Firefox is involved. ???

Why does my mac turn my downloaded movies into .m4v and move it to the desktop?

For about 4 or 5 months now I have had this problem. When I doenload a picture to my macs download file the computer converts the file to .m4v and moves it to the desktop, deleting the original download. Why? I dont know what I may have downloaded, it's been a while since this started.Thanks.

Why? Because you told it to.
Remove whatever folder action you installed on your Downloads folder. Right-click the folder, Services >> Folder Actions Setup.
If there's no folder action, then some piece of software you installed and have running is camping on your Downloads folder and doing the conversion.
Don't bother claiming you didn't... computer software isn't magic. The machine didn't just decide to do this one day.

My Acrobat 9 Standard has stopped allowing me to move thumbnails with the mouse.

For some unknown reason my Acrobat 9 Standard has stopped allowing me to move the thumbnails with the mouse to change the order of a PDF document. I've tried reinstalling. I'm at my wits end on this one...

Try updating to version 9.5.2. I seem to remember that one of the earlier updates did this and a later update rectified the issue. I don't have that issue with 9.5.2

After the update to iOS 7.0 my wifi doesn't allow to be turned on, after the update to iOS 7.0 my wifi doesn't allow to be turned on

after the update to iOS 7.0 my wifi doesn't allow to be turned on.

Well, I've never paid that much attention to it, since I use the Touch ID on my 5S. I just purposely just clicked the home button and there does seem to be a delay, but again I can't be sure about before. I have had no issues with my device, so I'm guessing here, but it doesn't seem to make any difference, since I can actually slide it without that phrase even being on the screen.

Shortcut to move window to another desktop

I have a couple desktops setup on my OS X.
What is the shortcut to move a window to another desktop? I know I can drag it using the mouse but I have magicmousophobia and prefer to use the keyboard.

Hi User_014,
If you are looking for alternate ways to move windows across multiple spaces in Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:
Move a window from one space to another
Do one of the following:
Drag the window to the edge of your screen and pause; after a moment, the window is switched to the next space.
Move the pointer over the window, then hold down the mouse button while pressing the Control key and an arrow key.
From the space that has the window you want to move, zoom to Mission Control. Then drag the window itself (not the thumbnail image) up to the space you want to use.

Mail will not allow me to move mail to the trash

For some reason Mail has stopped letting me move mail to the trash. Instead all deleted mail is grayed out. I checked the box to move deleted mail to trash, but that still does not work. The mail stays in the inbox, but a copy is moved to the trash. Has anyone ever had that problem?

I had to just delete my mail account and start over.

How do i take control of an exsisting open window on the desktop?

(not actually by clicking it, more like windows os where its automatically the last used that you gain control of)
my example is as follows:
i use excel spreadsheets to do invoicing for my business. i use a folder named monthly invoices to track each customer. the folder has a subfolder with years>then months.... anyways after entering an invoice i use cmd w to save the doc and close it. under excel when it closes is my 'months' folder which i need to directly access immediately. the only way i kno how is to click the window to gain control. are there any shortcuts i dont kno of?
when i was a pc, it would default to that window as the 'open window'' ---allowing me to immediately start typing to gain access to info. not so with my mac?
help
love chris

one more thing barney.
once in im my window and i want to open the highlighted item.....return doesnt do it. that allows the file to be renamed, what is the magic keystroke for that one?
btw dude you effin rock. thanks a bundle

After successful install of Windows 7, the desktop edges are off the screen. Please help.

I'd used the previous bootcamp and win xp just fine. Just bought a new mac mini and a new copy of windows 7 (well, an upgrade where I did the clean install approach). I have this mac mini approached to an LCD tv using an HDMI connection.
No matter what I've tried, I can't force the desktop to not be off the edges (unless I go to a super small resolution where it looks crappy).
The Lion/mac operating system does just fine with the LCD/HDMI connection. In Windows, I've played around with the resolutions, ran an update for the graphics driver, and checked my TV settings for an "overscan" setting.
None of the above worked.
I tried looking in the windows settings for something with the graphics card but I think I'm looking in the wrong area. I've seen discussion boards talk about a "just scan' setting but I can't find that on my TV menus or in windows.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

No one?
I've been doing more research and it seems the issue may be in some setting with the graphics card but for the life of me I haven't been able to find it. I have the new mac mini. Anyone?
Thanks.

HELP!! How to get the position of active windows in the desktop

How to get the position of active windows in the desktop

You mean, active windows other than the program you're running, or windows the program puts there? And a real desktop (like where MyComputer is), or a desktop pane?

Endless Cascading Windows on the Desktop

My almost six-year-old iBook may be showing the first signs of dementia. Yesterday I started her up and saw a half-dozen windows cascading on the desktop--they were all open to the "my home" screen. I closed each of the six windows, only to find six more underneath; I closed those to find--you guessed it--more underneath. I restarted the computer and found the series of windows again.
Except for this oddity, everything else seems to be working fine. I can open everything else on the desktop, I can open all my apps and docs. Is this some sort of bug that can be easily addressed, or is this a sign of impending doom?
iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Hillory
Could be dementia, would you like me to open a window? No. OK but do you want to open a window? No, its alright.
Hillory, what is "my home", an application that you are using? It seems to be running automatically.
10.3.9 has no widgets.
Are you running Yahoo "pseudo" widgets?
What is in Account > Start Up items ? Something to do with the app' "My Home"
Deselect any application in there that you are not familiar with or haven't intended to be there.
Then Restart.
Plus:
Aspirin medication:
Run Repair Permissions in the application Disk Utility, which is found in Applications/Utilities.
Still demented? If so post back.

[Solved] How to remove a transparent window on the desktop

I am using KDE 4.5.3-1.
$uname -a
Linux desktop 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 30 21:22:26 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
There appears to be a transparent window on my desktop, as shown by the shadow outline in this snapshot:
http://individual.utoronto.ca/davidshih … pshot.jpeg
It appears with different wallpapers, and I can't seem to disable it. Right-clicking brings up the same context menu as outside the ghost window. Nothing in Desktop settings appear to control the appearance of this window. Restarting does not help.
I am not sure when it appeared...
