  • Is there a way to view just one open Finder window (without any other Finder or other application windows coming into view) from a Desktop hot corner in Yosemite?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro. Previously, I could view just one open Finder window by viewing the Desktop via a hot corner and then selecting Finder from the Dock. This would pull only the top Finder winder into view, without showing any other open Finder windows, and most importantly, any other open application windows. I could then easily drag files/folder from my Desktop into the Finder window (which I do A LOT). Since upgrading to Yosemite, whenever I use the Desktop hot corner and select Finder from the Dock, it pulls every open application and Finder window back into view, putting Finder in front.
    Is there any way to view just one already open Finder window (or all Finder windows for that matter) without seeing all other open applications, without having to Hide the other applications or using Spaces?

    Yes I've created an Automator Application that does the job, but the "watch me do" function that does the Mail Merge is a rather Clunkey work around, as the mouse moves all over the place, thats the part i want to remove and replace with a script, or work out a different way around it that avoids the "watch me do" function.
    Is this Possible? or where/who is there i can ask to write me a script, im not a novice to scripting, but i am a novice to Applescript.

  • Why is there No visible URL anymore in my firefox browser window?

    Sorry if I am being an idiot but the look of my browser window has changed and there is no longer a visible URL for any website i click on when using google as a search engine.
    This is what used to happen: 1.Open firefox, 2. a google searchbox would appear in middle of window, 3.type something there, search , 4.click on a chosen site...and it's URl would appear in the window at the top of the page. Then if I wanted to share this I could just copy and paste!
    Now, when i do steps 1-4 above i don't get a visible URL at the top of the page. Instead in it's place is a bar with a google symbol to it's left and nothing in it ????
    Why is the URL not visible any more ...is there another way I can find it/see it /display it?
    Thsi is something that has changed only in the past couple of weeks ...and I don't think i have upgraded it recently ...is this why ?
    thanks for your help

    Hi Cor-el
    thanks for your hlelp! i omitted to say that i am a Mac use and so don't have an f10 key ;-( ...and so some of the other instructions don't work either!
    I have tried some of the other suggestions( like looking in customize tool bars) ..and I don't think that something has gone missing. I think firefox may have changed the look of the window?!
    I have attached a screen grab below...to help explain...
    See the long window at the top that has google written on left hand side ?! This is where the url used to be displayed.
    I have discovered that when you are on a page if you click on the icon on the left hand side of the little window/bar...that is to the left of the long one ...and then click more info you can see the page details in a pop up window ( as per the screen grab) . However only the site details can be copied ...and not the individual page URL ...although this appears at the top of the pop up!
    I also noticed I do not have latest version of firefox running ...so will remedy that
    and maybe that will sort it ...what do you think?
    If I do the same thing but use safari as a browser i don't get the same problem ...and the complete URL for the actual page is displayed !
    thanks

  • Why is there a circle in the center of the browser window?

    Hi,
    Sometimes when browsing the web, Firefox displays a crosshair-like circle in the middle of the screen. This just started a few weeks ago. I have not been able to find any information about this. It appears to happen when I type into form fields like this one. But then it persists even after I go to another page or site. Could it be a problem with an Add-On? I have AdBlock Plus and Ghostery installed.
    Does anyone know why this is happening, and how to make it stop?
    Thank you.

    Is it the mouse pointer that changes and doesn't change back? In that case I would suspect an add-on, maybe one related to form filling??
    Or is it like a display glitch which is superimposed over whatever's behind it? If it's the latter, could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"

  • Why are there different specifications and SKUs on the same model window air conditioner?

    Hello, The Best Buy website has a Frigidaire Home Comfort 12,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner - White Model: FFRE1233Q1 SKU: 6060171. In the Specifications next to "Energy Star Certified" it says "No" and doesn't show the EER. The picture of the unit shows an Energy Star emblem in the upper, right of the unit.
    The website also has a Frigidaire Home Comfort 12,000 BTU Air Conditioner - White Model: FFRE1233Q1 SKU: 8274079. It also states in the Specifications next to "Energy Star Certified": "No" yet shows the EER as 11.3. The picture of the unit also shows an Energy Star emblem in the upper, right of the unit. Both units are in the section "Best Buy/ Appliances/ Heating, Cooling & Air Quality/ Air Conditioners/ Window Air Conditioners/ Product Info".
    The Frigidaire website shows a Frigidaire 12,000 BTU Window-Mounted Room Air Conditioner FFRE1233Q1 and states Energy Star Certified": "Yes" and says the EER is 11.3. The picture they show looks to me like the same picture on both pages I've referenced on the Best Buy website and also shows an Energy Star emblem in the upper, right of the unit.
    Can you possibly tell me what the difference is between the 2 units on the Best Buy website and the Model FFRE1233Q1 on the Frigidaire website? Thank you.

    Hello agreatcompany, 
    This is certainly bizarre! To my knowledge, it seems that these are the exact same unit, so there wouldn't be any differences. It is possible we were doing some modifications to the information on this unit, and ended up changing the SKU, causing 2 to exist, which may explain why you were able to see both on BestBuy.com at one point. Presently, it would seem the only SKU available on BestBuy.com would be SKU 8274079. 
    In regards to the specifications, we receive all of the information from the vendor. With that said, I do see that this model appears to be Energy Star Certified according to Frigidaire's site, yet we do not have it listed as such. Please know that I am bringing this issue to the attention of the appropriate teams to have it reviewed, and any errors corrected. 
    If I should be provided any alternate information in regards to the two SKUs, please know that I will update you right away! If you should have any questions, please let me know. 
    Regards,

  • Why is there an error message while opening my CHM under Windows XP?

    Hey,
    I´m using Windows 7, RoboHelp 8 and generate CHM files to be integrated into our software or to be downloaded from our website.
    I upload the compiled file to our server, then other persons can downoad it to their local disk which runs under WIndows XP. This was done by one person - she double clicks on the CHM, the window opens, shows the TOC but on the content side appears the message "the navigation to the website (failed?)".
    Maybe you have an idea how to solve that problem? We are having cutsomers using mainly XP, therefore it should be working....
    Thx so far
    Janna

    Hi Janna.
    This is caused by additional security that has been added to Windows OS. Chances are your users will have to unblock the contents of the CHM file after it has been downloaded. Right click on the CHM file and click Properties. In the General tab should be an Unblock button. Click on it and they'll be able to see the content.

  • Why is there a small Safari icon hiding behind my Finder icon? This is crazy. No way to get rid of it that I have found, and thanks Apple....no explanation to date.

    I have tried researching this and have had no luck, even had an Apple representive scratch his head over it with no answer.

    What it looks like is an alias to Safari stuck behind the dock, kind of like what is in the screenshot below except that I am still able to select the Safari alias and delete it. 
    Try going to System Preferences/Dock and move the dock to the left or right of the screen or make it smaller then see if you can select the alias and delete/move it.

  • Accidently made a folder under 'places' in my finder window go 'poof'. How do I get it back?!

    I really need to get the folder back. It has all the pictures of my families florida vacation on it. If i dont get it back my mom will kill me. PLEASE HELP!

    Open the Finder's preferences and check the box for it. Items in the sidebar are shortcuts instead of actual items, and there will therefore be no confirmation before their removal.

  • Why does my mac mini powermac 10.2 open 50 finder windows on startup?

    and how can I fix it?

    Hello,
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Why is there no exchange program for people who bought ipad2 before the release date of ipad3

    I sold my iPad 64g 3g on 12 December 11 so I could buy and iPad 2 64g 3G iPad2 on Xmas then three months later ipad3 comes out I have been I contact with apple support and they tell me to sell it on the returns program they would offer me £300 for it I payed £700 with three years cover plan.
    I would have been happy to wait three months if I was notified that there was an iPad 3 release date but nothing came out .
    So I ask apple and you why is there no exchange program in place for new owners of iPad 2 to be able to exchange for iPad 3 this is good business for the support we give apple in buying they're products time after time

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Rhetorical Question: "Have you heard that juicy rumor about the 'iPad X' yet?"
    Apple, as a rule, does not announce hardware products far in advance of actual ordering availability.
    More importantly, the Terms of Service for users Apple Support Communities does not permit such speculation here.
    There were rumors and speculation about capabilities of the 'iPad 3' published online within hours of the release of the iPad 2 one year ago. If you want to 'keep up' with the rumors, I suggest taking few moments every month to visit websites like The Unofficial Apple Weblog (tuaw.com), and The Apple Insider (appleinsider.com), among others. You'll find a wealth of information about current products as well as plenty of rampant speculation about future products and projected release dates there.
    Regarding 'trade-in' or 'trade-up', Apple has built their organization to manufacture and market new devices, media, and software. As you discovered with your original iPad, the best solution may be to sell your current device privately and buy a new one if you have a compelling need to upgrade to the latest model.
    And, try as I might, I've never convinced my local car dealer to take my 3-month-old vehicle with 3,000 miles in equal trade for the shiny new model that was just introduced. But honestly, I'm buying run-of-the-mill 'daily transportation', not collectible automotive-works-of-art that will appreciate in value over time.

  • Deleting "Places" from Finder window sidebar

    Until recently, it was possible to drag an item from "Places" on the Finder window sidebar onto the desktop to delete it. That function no longer works, so how do I delete places from the sidebar?
    Thanks,
    GRM

    OK, sorry. I found the answer here https://discussions.apple.com/message/13136900#13136900
    though there is no "puff of smoke" action any more

  • Why is there a Question Mark in my Finder Window?

    This question mark has recently appeared in my finder windows on my 21" iMac (2010), any ideas why?
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtsdesigns/6311994946/

    If you performed an upgrade from an earlier version (such as 10.6.8) there might have been an item that you added to your Finder Window but cannot be found now to reinstate as part of the Finder Window. It such a case a Question Mark Icon appears as a place holder for the missing (or unfound) item.

  • TS3772 Just because I live in Thailand it doesn't mean I want all the pop-up boxes to be Thai! Why is there no box to switch languages?

    Why is there no box to switch languages?  Just because I live in Thailand doesn't mean that I read and write in Thai.  Please include a language box to switch languages at the front end of download pages and other places as needed.

    Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
    Apple - iPhone - Feedback
    While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
    That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

  • Why is there no cancel button when you are importing?

    Seriously...
    Why is there no way of canceling when you start importing something from say, your movies folder into iMovie? I just don't understand. How hard is it to add a **** cancel button? Sometimes you import a file and iMovie decides it needs to optimize it before it imports, it can take hours depending on the file, and they don't even give you a cancel button? What the ****. I'm aware you can force quit the app, but how stupid is it, that you need to force quit out of the app just because the developers could not be bothered to add a cancel button in the most obvious place you would want one.
    So yeah, am I missing something here, or is iMovie really that stupid?

    Since this is a user to user forum, it might be best if you address your question directly to Apple.
    You can do that here:

  • Why are there no favicons for many of my bookmarks? Where there was a favicon, a blank box with a dotted outline now appears.

    Why are there no favicons for many of my bookmarks? Where there was a favicon, a blank box with a dotted outline now appears.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
