What determines a window's/programs preference when switching between a full screen app and the desktop

Example: I have multiple programs/windows open but am currently working in Firefox. I switch to itunes to change a song, switch back to the original desktop and now iCal is comes up as the focused program. Is there any way to make the current window/program your working on take preference over the others?

That is strange, seems like a different problem. I find that I can access either screen ok (ie either share the screen of the currently-logged in user, or open a virtual desktop of a different user), but it goes haywire if I try and switch between the two once a remote desktop is open. If I want to switch from the virtual desktop to the actual desktop, the only way to do it is to close screen sharing and open it again, selecting the different option.
Regarding your problem - is it just the virtual display that is unresponsive or also the sharing of the logged-in user? It is probably best you create a new thread dedicated to your problem.

When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing. Is anyone else having this issue?

I just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

When I go to full screen on Hulu the picture goes blank.

This did not occur until yesterday when the new version of firefox came out. I updated all the appropriate programs, I am also having a problem getting you tube to go to full screen. This occurred at the same time. It has to be connected to the new version of firefox

Hello Mike.
It sounds like you are having a problem with the Flash plugin. Please contact Adobe for support, as they are the ones who develop it. Also, make sure this is not cause by any other add-on you have installed (it probably isn't, as multiple users have reported this). It seems like Flash is having some trouble handling Firefox latest updates.

I dont know what wrong with my Apple ID , when i tried to updated my apps and the always asking for payment?

i try to updated my apps and download free apps but my Apple id keep asking for payment, the exacly massage is " before you can make purchases you must tap OK , then verify your payment. before i used to have NONE but after i buy some Apps i put my debite card number. after that i want to change to be none again but None is not show... now i cannot update anything or even download free apps

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

In the edit screen when switching between photos, it starts clear and then after a second, it becomes a little blurry. Any one else experiencing this?

In Iphoto, when in the edit screen, when the photo first comes on it appears clear, then after about a second, it blurs a bit which makes it hard to edit. This does not happen when previewing each photo, only when editing.
Anyone else have this issue.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Hanging when switching between programs?

Is there a soluton to programs hanging when switching between one program to another?

Safe Mode deletes some system caches that may help..
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu then try switching between applications.

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

HT5019 When I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows

, can it just change the full screen app of the screen with the cursor?
when I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows to a full screen app window with no applications (like a grey linen screen)
and I can't use that one properly yet I still want to use the full screen app without disturbing the other screen. (the left screen is grey)

Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card? You may be viewing document on different gpu's. PS does not like multiple gpu's.

Windows CS3 Programs Freeze When Opening Files

Windows CS3, all programs freeze when trying to open files by going through the file menu.
Able to open files when navigating with windows explorer then right clicking on file and choosing "open with"
Windows XP Professional SP3, 4 Gb Ram Quad Core Processor.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 (Design Premium)
Have deleted photoshop settings file and tried using photoshop.
Any time I try to open a new file or existing file by going through the file menu the program freezes and must be terminated using the task manager.

Erika,
I wish you had posted that last night. LOL I'm glad it worked for you and I will tell anyone who has this problem to try that before they try my fix. I was starting to have other problems like inDesign corrupting images.
Here's how I fixed it,
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.
1. Backup entire pc
2. Deactivate Creative Suite 3 (or whatever application you are having a problem with)
3. Uninstall problem application or suite, then uninstall everything by adobe.
4. Search PC for all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
5. Delete all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
6. Restart PC
7. Run ccleaner and also run the registry fix.
8. Restart PC.
9. Backup registry.
10. Scan registry for "adobe", no quotes. Delete every instance of "adobe", no quotes making sure the reference is truly "adobe" and not something else.
11. Restart PC.
12. Install adobe suite or application.
13. Install any other adobe application you may need.
Worked for me, but
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.

Programs crash when switching windows

Hi, I have had this problem for a while now (about a month after I installed Windows 8.1 on my fresh new computer).
The issue is when I switch windows (the odds are much greater if I minimise or use the show desktop button in the bottom right), the program may not respond, and require to be forcefully closed in task manager (or spamming the X
button) to close, then reopened.
This is not normal behaviour and is starting to get onto my nerves since I constantly have to restart my browser when switching between my IDE and it.
Just recently it has started closing a particular background program too (Logitech Gaming Software) which is why I am now contacting support to resolve this issue.
http://imgur.com/uVqpZwg
This is my step(s) to reproduce the issue.
I suspect this may have something to do with using an SSD and having a harddrive with my programs on. I modified the %programfiles% system variable and installed all new programs into that location.

Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem. The work around is
to edit the registry. If you are not comfortable doing this DONT. If you are, backup the key before you do
Press Win+"R" and input regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

Enforcing commit when switching between windows

Today our OracleForms application is built using the call_form built-in. The end user can navigate from FormA to FormB but he must close formB in order to continue work in FormA. This is the expected behavior of the call_form built in. We also ensured that all changes are committed when navigating between forms; posting is not used. This architure/technique ensures that end-users commit frequently; with 400concurrent users we must ensures locking is kept to a minimum. Consequence of this architecture is that we do not have a full MDI application.
In order to have a full MDI application I have to use the open_form built-in but if possible i want to keep 1 session for each application user, not 1 session for each form opened. This in order to prevent an explosion of database sessions. Oke lets use the no_session parameter.
Now what's my problem ? I order to keep locking to a minimum I want to enforce the end user to commit changes when switching between windows. Does somebody has an advice which trigger(s) would be the most appropriate one ?
Note : that the "raise form_trigger_failure" has no effect in the "when-window-deactivated" trigger.
Note : post-form does not fire since I'am not actually leaving the calling form
Note : if possible I would like to program the validation in the calling form instead of the called form; this in order to prevent switching between windows - can cause screen flikkering.
chris

note the when-window-deactivate does not always fire when switching between windows of different forms !!!
I simply want to keep the focus on the calling form when there are pending changes and throw a message to the enduser saying 'please commit before continuing...'
I tried to program the when-form-navigate trigger but in this trigger I'am not able to retrieve the form_status of the called form.
any other help would be appreciated.
