Why are Mail and Firefox swapping places when the computer wakes, and how can I make them stop?

If I put my MacBook Air to sleep with Firefox as the top application, when I wake the computer, Mail will jump to the top. If Mail is on top when the computer sleeps, when I wake the computer, Firefox will leap to the top.
This has only happened for the last week or two; the two aps have otherwise coexisted peacefully for the last couple years.
Does anyone know what's happening and how to make it stop?
Thanks,
Pitsligo

  • When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small.  Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

    When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books.  I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened.  Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto.  Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

    Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

    When using Numbers with iCloud, a new version is created every time I make a change. I do not want all these revised documents. When I change a document, I commit to that change. How do I shut off this multiple-revision feature of Numbers being pushed to iCloud.

  • I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
    To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad  if a movie listing does not show  then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
    Or launch the Video App and look for them there
    if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
    A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
    Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
    Hope this helps

    They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
    Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.

    You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

  • I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4.  Both can reach the internet wirelesly.  How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files

    I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4.  Both can reach the internet wirelesly. 
    How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files?  Both have network
    icons in the systems peferences, but I can't see how to hook them up.

    That got me closer, but I'm not quite there yet.  On each ofthe two computers I've allowed all users File Sharing and Remote Management.  Each computer has an address 192.168.1.2 (or 4).  When I enter those addresses into "connect to server" the reponse is either 'drop box' or 'public folder'.  So it seems that only very basic sharing is allowed. I have'nt  set up a public folder on either one.

  • Flash effects and how  can i make them...

    hello as im new to flash and i never been in a college to learn,thats why im here to ask my friends something!
    hello then,i have a discussion on about how can i make a fire or an ice or something like that and put it on a front of a image.
    i have a blizzard example as they are so good in web design...here are the site:http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/games/cataclysm/
    on this site look at the dragon...he has fire breathing and fires behind him which are raising into the sky...so beatiful!
    and now look mine:http://thechapter-kazzak.tk/ is very simple...
    i want a white breath or something...i dont know what to type on google about that...Please help me to find a solution...
    Thank you for your time and i really apriciate all of your answers!

    There are a variety of ways to go about creating effects.  YOur best bet at finding how to do them is two-fold...
    1) search the internet using terms relative to what you want to learn... something like "Flash fireanimation tutorial" or  "AS3 Snow tutorial"
    2) invest alot of time and effort at learning how to use Flash
    The second is the most important
    If you look closely at the first example you point to, you will see that it is all somewhat simple repetitive animation... the smoke repeats and even the tiny specks repeat.  So the approach for this one basically takes drawn elements, such as the smoke and the sparks, and just continuously plays them over and over.

  • In windows 2nd monitor says no input - what display drivers are used and how can I update them?

    HI. I am using windows side of my macbook pro. Yesterday, for some reason, the computer quit recognizing my 2nd monitor. Nvidia is one of the drivers used but I have updated this and it is not working still. Someone said that I should contact the maker of the laptop, apple, and get graphics drivers from them. But I don't know how to do this. Help would be appreciated.

  • I compacted my folders in Thunderbird, now all my emails are gone. Where are they, and how can I retrieve them?

    When Thunderbird asked if I wanted to compact all files, thinking this would just make better use of the space, I agreed. Now my emails have disappeared. I tried "Repair Folder" but nothing has returned. Any idea where I can find my emails?

  • 6 months of iphoto pics now missing. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Yesterday I was downloading some photos from my camera. When I finished I looked at my events and every photo and event from the last months were gone. The most recent download was preceded by pictures from last August and everything else was gone!
    I have been reading this discussion and I have tried a rebuild of the library = no success.
    I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and I am in the midst of creating a rebuilt library, but something tells me that it is just rebuilding the library with missing photos again.
    Mac OSX version 10.6.8 and iPhoto 9.2.1

    yes, I found an iPhoto Library folder on the second drive that has a date of August 22 2011, which seems to be right, everything since is gone.
    So when I downloaded on Saturday i downloaded new pics into this old folder.
    Where is the other, the including recent 6 months iPhoto Library folder?
    I did not trash anything.

  • Receiving texts in Spanish saying a session was started recently - are these legitimate and how do I make them stop?

    Once or more every day (typically overnight) I receive a text saying, "Recientemente se inici sesi n en tu cuenta desde Firefox on Windows." Ignoring the grammatical errors/misspellings, it roughly translates to your Firefox account was recently logged into/a session was started. Each time the message is from short code 792273. Is this message legitimately from Firefox? If so, how do I get my number removed from whatever account it's been applied to in error?

    I never received such a message myself. If there are any links on it,
    '''DO NOT USE''' them.
    I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
