Why are the open windows not listed in any kind of order?

It's bad enough there's no menu showing all the open tabs, but why does the dropdown menu for open Windows not be in ANY order whatsoever? It would certainly stop having to look up and down the list every time I want to go to a different window if they were in either alphabetical or chronological order.

The windows listed in the Window menu are in chronological order starting with the oldest window near the top and the newest window at the bottom.
The problem might be that you've opened a new tab in an old window. The windows are still listed in the same order but now they have the name of the newest tab.
In my screenshot I opened this question in a new tab in my oldest window.

  • My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same.  Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

  • Why is my open window not centring the file previews?

    Whenever I try to open a file in Illustrator CS6 I have to scale the open window across both of my monitors just to be able to see the file preview in the columns mode. If i with the viewing mode to the iTunes artworks style mode I can just barely see the file preview if I make the window the entire size of my main monitor.  How can I fix this? See below for and examples:

    Has the issue appeared after an upgrade to Yosemite?

  • Why are my application windows not opening where I last closed them?

    No rhyme or reason....at least to me.
    Sometimes they open same spot ...same size.
    Other times different window, different size.

    Same problem here. It looks like the new windows opens at the screen with the active menu bar.
    I switched back to the old behavior from mountain lion by turning off the option for multiple spaces at the system preferences for mission control. Now i have only one menu bar and one dock.

    I need help. I was able to put songs on the ipod nano from songs that i bought from itunes... but how can i put songs on the nano from my music library already on my computer. I have tried dragging the songs to the folder.  I have tried copying songs to the itunes cloud but the nano does not show the songs. How do i put songs on the nano that are from my cds? When I try to sync the songs, the nano is not recognized.

  • Why are songs I bought not listed in the purchased link

    some of the songs that I've bought from itunes are listed in the purchased section, available for me to listen to, but not all.  is there something I can do about this?

    yes, they were under the same account. I am looking at my songs purchased on the itunes store and it says 21.  when I click on the little little "purchased" link on the left hand side under "ping" it only has eightteen songs.

  • Why does the Chat window not open for the Apple Store

    I was at the Apple Store and clicked on the "Chat Now" button and tried the other "Chat" link.  Both brought up a pop-up link but the window was blank.  I tried it several times to no avail.
    I thought I would send it back to Apple as feedback but I could not find a feedback option in the menu.
    I am using the latest version of Safari, 6.0.2 (8536.26.17)

    Hello am-i-will
    Move your mouse near the header and a menu should pop up and then you should have an option to download your attachments.

  • In Address Book, why are the choices under Debug/List Font Size greyed out?

    I would like to change the List Font Size to take advantage of all the real estate on my monitor (so that I don't have to squint), but how do I go about doing that if the large, medium and small choices are greyed out??

    Ah Zut ! But thanks for letting me know that I'm neither alone nor losing my marbles,I think...

  • Why are the iWork apps not free FOR ME?

    This might be a pretty old question, but lately I came to know that iWork apps were/are free for iOS 7 running devices, and my iPhone 4s which runs on iOS 7.1.2 and I activated it JUST 4 DAYS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 2013 (And many say, those who activated their iDevices after September 1st of 2013 are eligible to download iWork apps for free) is not able to get those apps for free. So is there any trick on refreshing/re-activating my account so that I get those apps (iPhoto, iMovie, Pages etc.) for free? Not being mean, but I feel so embarrassed for not activating my phone just after 4 days so that all those apps which I needed most would have been free (And ofcourse I did not know They would come for free if I had activated my phone afer 4 days ).

    The offer for free iWorks apps is date dependent. If you purchased it prior to the eligible date, no, you are not entitled to them for free, and there is no trick to getting them. you will need to purchase them.

  • In Firefox 4, why are the website icons not appearing in the tabs and next to the URL in the address bar? They appear fine in the bookmarks menu.

    The little favicons that represent the website show up as the blank page icon in the toolbar and in the address bar, but they appear fine in the bookmarks bar. I have tried clearing my cache, and that did not help.

  • Open windows not visible

    I can open windows, for example the hard drive, or, documents, or downloads... but the open windows are only visable when I am switching from one desktop to another.  I cannot get the open windows to stay in any open desktop.  I use the "go" pull-down from the menu, I also try to "open in finder" from the dock.. nothing seems to work.  Help?

    I think I've seen this posted before but can't find the answer right now, I think it was to do with making sure that Finder is set to open in None:
