Viewing many windows on one screen

Hi, I would like to be able to view a few windows on one screen so I don't have to minimize & maximize etc when working with a few things. Someone set it up on my computer using hot corners but I didn't like those corners so I turned them off. Any advice is appreciated. I am not using an apple keyboard.

You can either drag them side-by-side and work on them simultaneously or use Expose with the F9, F10 and F11 keys.

Move Window from One Screen to the Other

With multi-monitor setup, is there a shortcut key to move a window from one screen to another? This is about the only thing I miss from my old days of using a PC.
Way too lazy to drag
Thanks!

no, there isn't and I don't believe you can possibly make one. I don't know how this works in windows but os x would need to know where exactly to put a window on the other screen. since screens often have different sizes that would be impossible. besides, with extended desktop there is no actual separation between the screens and a window can be partly on one screen and partly on the other.
I'm afraid you are just going to have to drag.

Various SAP sessions/windows on one screen

Hi Gurus.
Can anyone help me with the following.
I have been asked to explore the possibility of having various SAP sessions/windows displayed on one screen. This should work out by creating a variant or other utility that can call several transactions and display all the sessions on one screen.
For example, you can have the following transactions SM04, SM66, SM37 & ST02 being called from one variant and display all the 4 sessions in one screen.
Is this possible or can it be achieved.
Points will be awarded.

Expose puts all windows on one screen?

SHORT VERSION: When I have my MBP hooked up to a 2nd monitor, sometime when I invoke the "all windows" mode in Exposé, it puts all the windows one one screen (usually the larger second screen) -- meanwhile if there are any minimized windows, it will "stack" them on the second screen at full size.
* This doesn't happen all the time. And I haven't quite figured out what conditions "cause" it.
* If I restart, the problem goes away.
* Mousing over a window only works correctly on the second screen (trying to hover over a window on the screen with the "minimized" windows -- those don't respond)
Thoughts?

You should fit 16 spaces of apps/folder icons per page. So, from your post, what is happening is that on page 1 you have 3 rows of 4 apps each then 1 row of 2 apps. On page 2 you have 1 app.
You can easily fix this via iTunes. Connect your iPod Touch to iTunes and to the following:
1. Touch and hold the app icon that you want to move (In this case it would be your sole icon on page2)
2. This will put you in edit mode for apps while they will all begin to shake
3. Grap the app with your finger and move it to the left edge of the screen
4. This will move it to page 1 and then you can place it wherever you want
Now you will all 15 apps on page 1.

Allowing evenly spaced double windows on one screen for quikc referencing?

Hi,
I can’t believe I am asking this but on Windows if you drag the window to the far right or far left it reduces the viewed window to have the screen allowing you to do the same but on the opposite side. This is really good when I am studying and need to keep looking for info on the two separate windows. It saves me from forever having to click on the window I want to view and then click back. Is there an Apple script or something that does the same so I can have the same functionality in my MacBook Pro?
Thanks

I got again a total system freeze today when I wanted to launch firefox using only the openbox menu, without wbar running.
So I decided to try now the 'nouveau.noaccel=1' kernel command line parameter, and to use again wbar for my frequently used applis.
In the Xorg log, the differences are:
without 'nouveau.noaccel=1'
[ 30.761] (II) UnloadModule: "nv"
[ 30.761] (II) Unloading nv
[ 30.761] (--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
[ 30.762] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Opened GPU channel 0
[ 30.765] (II) NOUVEAU(0): [DRI2] Setup complete
[ 30.765] (II) NOUVEAU(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: nouveau
[ 30.765] (II) NOUVEAU(0): [DRI2] VDPAU driver: nouveau

[ 30.777] (II) Composite (RENDER acceleration)
[ 30.777] (II) UploadToScreen
[ 30.777] (II) DownloadFromScreen
[ 30.777] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Backing store disabled
[ 30.777] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Silken mouse enabled
with 'nouveau.noaccel=1'
[ 1191.621] (II) UnloadModule: "nv"
[ 1191.621] (II) Unloading nv
[ 1191.621] (--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
[ 1191.621] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error creating GPU channel: -19
[ 1191.621] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error initialising acceleration. Falling back to NoAccel
[ 1191.621] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Backing store disabled
[ 1191.621] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Silken mouse enabled
[ 1191.621] (==) NOUVEAU(0): DPMS enabled
So now 3D acceleration is disabled.
I will see now if the system is stable enough for my daily usage and gives satisfactory performances.
I am almost sure that the mesa nouveau dri driver is the cause of the freezes.

HT202780 Is there any shortcut of OS X to move active window from one screen to another?

I know that in Windows, I can use Alt+Shift+left/right arrow to do so. Any similar shortcut in OS X?

Hey leroydouglas, thanks for your reply! I'm afraid that the article you given don't include the answer I want. I had went through the article and hadn't found the answer of my question. Anyway, thanks all the same!

I have the same problem. After Mountain Lion was installed, my longstanding display configuration (MacBook Air coupled with large Dell monitor) will no longer allow app windows to be moved from the Air screen to the large display when the large display is configured on top of the Air. Only the side-by-side configuration works. Mouse can move above the Air menu bar, but not any app windows. Mirroring works as usual; this is the only problem. I've tried re-setting the display preferences, and I've also tried pairing with another (non-Apple) monitor. Same problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix on the way?

Ability to view multiple files in ONE window

I can see here that this is not a new topic really but the thing with Acrobat 9 is so frustrating that it is just unbelievable.
This is another pearl:
Acrobat 9 "lost" its predecessors ability to view multiple files in ONE window. After opening four only documents I cannot see anything on the screen because the toolbars on each individual window cover all necessary view and nothing is left for the actual document. And sometimes I need to open 20 documents!
This is ABSOLUTE DISASTER!!!
I found some explanations from Adobe on the Web that are more than a year old.
I was sure that by now this unfortunate mishandling of that feature (apparently it was dropped out from A9 deliberately - WHO'S IDEA WAS THAT?) would be somehow restorable.
Would anyone happen to know if this feature can get restored to how it was working in A7 or 8 (without the need to uninstall A9 and install A8)?

No, it can't be restored, unless Adobe decides to change the way Acrobat works (which is possible, but not likely).
By the way, it was Microsoft's idea... Adobe were just following their example on this.
You can make a feature request here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

How do I view multiple images in one window?

How do I view multiple images in one window? I want to compare images side by side, not in tabs.

Thank you, Barbara. I found that I had to close the program after I turned on "allow floating documents" and restart, before I was able to go to "float all in windows".

Why is my Week view in calendar only showing 3 days on one screen?

When I go online to check this out, I see that everyone else's week view (in portrait mode) has the full 5 days on one screen. Mine only shows 3 days at once and I have to swipe to the next screen to see the rest of the week.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Does any body have any idea?

Change view options for only one window

Usually I prefer to view my windows as icons, but I like certain specific windows to show up in list mode. On 10.4, in the View Options, there was an option for "This window only" but that seems to be missing in 10.5. Am I just blind???

I agree. i enjoyed that feature in 10.4. It drives me nuts that if I want to change the view options for one folder because of the way I want to view its specific contents, the rest of folders on my system changes at the same time. I would appreciate it if each folder had a "memory" of its own view option settings.
However, I acknowledge that sometimes you would want to change a setting that affect all windows. But it shouldn't overwrite the remainder of the settings. If, for example, you wanted to change the text size of every icon in every window, but leave everything else as set in each individual folder, there should be an option for this!

New firefoxis great. i keep many windows open. in ur earlier ver. I used to close it, it would ask for save and shut down as one of the three option,but in this new version it close all my window, how do i save my window tab?

new firefox is great. I usually have many windows open. in your earlier version, when ever I used to close it, it would ask for save and shut down as one of the three option,but in this new version it close all my window, how do i save my window tab?

See [[Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit]].
Does this work for you?

What does Private mean at the bottom of my iPhone screen when viewing my windows in Safari?

Private appears at the bottom of my iPhone screen while viewing open windows in Safari. What does it mean?

Touching Private will switch ON/Off private browsing mode.
Private Browsing
Private Browsing in iOS protects private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari doesn't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.
Note: While Private Browsing is enabled, the Safari bars appear black or dark.
