Window losing focus constantly.  Computer is unusable!!!!

Help!  Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, I have been having a problem where the window in any appllication that I am working in loses focus every few seconds.  I have read every forum I can find on the subject, but no one seems to have the answer to the problem.  The only thing that seems to work, but very unstable is launching my computer in safe mode.
My brand new computer is unusable!!!!!!!!

  • Window losing focus

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if it were at all possible for a JFrame or JWindow to listen for an event when the window is about to lose focus - ie it is losing focus (as opposed to lost focus).
    WindowEvent and the subsequent WindowFocusListener interface only caters for handling a window having already lost or gained focus, however I need to make things happen before the window actually loses its focus.
    Can anyone help?
    Regards,
    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,
    I don't know a possibility to get an event like you want to have - and I do think such an eevnt does not exist.
    But I do think you really wouldn't need such a possibility. Perhaps you can give a short explanation why you need this possibility. If the problem is to regain the focus there is a post from me a few minutes ago (I'm sorry about not knowing how to reference to other posts but I hope since years I will learn such things). If you have other problems please explain the problem - perhaps there is another way of solving it.
    HTH and greetings from

  • Problems with titler window losing focus

    I'm using PP2.0, running on windows XP x64. It's been running since it was last re-installed in December 2007 (after a problem with codecs that broke PP2), and I've made no changes to it or to any of the support processes it uses, nor any changes to the OS (apart from service packs). There have been NO driver changes, window layout changes, workspace changes, or any other changes (apart from entropy). The mouse I'm using is a [oxymoron]Kensington Expert Mouse Pro[/oxymoron], with their latest (i.e. 2007) drivers, and XMouse ver 1.37.0.0 (i.e. their latest x64 driver), but this happens regardless of the mouse or keyboard I use.
    To set the scene... I use a "standard" title template for all my video work, with predefined text fields and colours and so on. There's nothing bizarre or extraordinary about these templates, they're actually super simplistic in terms of what most users here use their titlers for! The entire title is completely static - there are no scrolling or moving anythings, the title is overlaid on black video, there are just a dozen simple text boxes and one standard logo (bmp format), that's it. I use only Arial fonts, with no special settings or kerning or spacing or anything more complex than colour. I haven't touched or modified the original titler template since I set it up in December 2008. The problem I'm seeing happens to any titles, not just the known working template, so it's definitely a PP2 problem, not a titler problem.
    The problem is that recently (in the past 3-4 months, over maybe 5 projects in that time) the titler window loses focus while I'm using it, and the PP2 main application becomes active.
    When I bring the titler window up (using any method) and start editing, that window loses focus (window frame reverts to the background windowframe colour) and I can't type or do anything else in the titler window.The PP2 app window suddenly become the active window, and remains active until I shut down the titler.
    My workaround is to click and hold in the titler window, on or around the text I want to edit. So by pressing and holding the left mouse button, I can insert text just fine in any existing text frame. And by selecting text with the left button and then holding it (like I'm starting a drag operation), I can _replace_ the selected text - but as soon as I release the mouse button, the focus leaves the titler and I can't do anything again.
    I've reset the workspace, changed mouse and keyboards, but the problem isn't a hardware or driver issue. PP2 is the only application that behaves like this, and it's the only Adobe application that behaves like this - Photoshop (5.5 and CS8) and Audition (1.5 and 3.0) all work perfectly normally.
    This behaviour occurs with titles I've used and saved in previous working projects, it happens with new blank titles, and so on.
    What I've noticed most recently while trying to fix the problem, is that sometimes I can actually type a couple of letters or hit an editing key or two in the titler window normally, but then the titler loses focus and keeps it lost permanently after that. That doesn't always happen, and it doesn't appear to be related to process flow. So restarting PP2, or closing and reloading a project, don't affect the arbitrary nature of the "sometimes starts to work" behaviour. I can sometimes re-edit a title in the same project after editing the title with the focus lost, and suddenly the first few keystrokes are normal, but then the focus reverts to the main app.
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to try (apart from reinstalling the application again or upgrading), I'd be most grateful.
    -PCPete

    I think you're right, it's starting to look like another problem within the "new" PP2 installation. It's such a complex app, it's not surprising it gets lost.
    Since this is the only app that has this problem (and because of the nature of the problem), I know it's not a graphics card or driver issue.
    This appears to be a high-level windows function problem, to do with the way the PP2 app is handling the modal form. It's probably not the mouse driver, since I don't move the mouse outside of the child window, but that doesn't leave much else. I don't have popups or any other asynchronous applications (like email warning windows or balloon-type reminders or notifications) either.
    I really don't want to go through the horror of yet another reinstall of an Adobe product if I can possibly avoid it, but pending no other useful ideas, that is an absolute last resort.

  • Second window loses focus

    Hi all,
    I set up a navigation between two wd applications within the portal. The navigation will open a new window once the user clicks a button in the first application. The navigation itself works well, however, the new window is always shown behind the portal page, in other words, it loses focus after it is opened.
    Does anyone know a way to bring the new window to the front?
    Thanks!
    Hart

    hello thomas!
    is this problem with the losing focus when you open a second window fixed now?
    can i set the focus in a new opening window manually?
    thanks for your help...

  • Airport Losing Focus??

    I have a Mac set as an FTP server at a second location for backing up. My server at my first location will start backing up, completing some files. After a while, the network light on the modem at location 2 will stop blinking (indicating no traffic). The message from my backup software is "(FTP: server disconnected or timed out)". I can browse the web with no problems when this is happening. Is my Airport Extreme just losing focus?
    Also, pod casts will not down load to same FTP server. I'll get anywhere from 1/8 to 1/2 of a pod cast before the network traffic light stops blinking.
    Help! Boss is getting nervous. Thanks.

    Thanks JJMack.  I was hoping it wasn't the card I was using.  This is the first time I've used a geforce card on my work PC.  However it's not the first time I've used them with Adobe's apps.  For years my personal PCs had them and usually without issues like this.  We chose to attempt to use this new Geforce GTX980 card because of how much further advanced it is over midrange Quadro cards at the moment, and because of some of the other software I am using that is more viewport and video ram dependent.  Adobe applications are still my mainstay but we couldn't justify the purchase of older technology midrange K4000 cards that were supposedly newer than my older 4000.  As these still had older PCI connections than the HP workstations we built, among other tech such as cuda core amounts that are drastically behind the times.  Jumping up to 6000 level Quadro cards for up to date technology just isn't in the budget as the prices are astronomical. As with the Titan cards cards that are high priced and yet older tech.  So we made the decision to try the GTX card for a while.  Right now this sporadic window focus issue seems to be the only new issue I've run into so far.   I'm sure I will see more in the near future doing something if the card is the issue.  Maybe the new types of hardware being used such as the PCI express hard drive, or very recent photoshop updates can be blamed.  Just not figuring it out just yet.
    I was informed by an IT professional here that has application creation experience that this truly seemed like an application problem more than a graphic card problem.   But until someone can corroborate that thought I guess I'm going to keep blaming the newer GTX card or wait to see if an App update makes this go away quietly.  No one else has chimed in yet.  Thanks for the link.

    Problems with Photoshop CS2
    I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
    This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
    when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
    When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
    Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

    Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

  • How to enable JIT debugging on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer? I keep getting different Errors popping up on my computer about debugging different programs and that JIT debugging must be enabled!

    How do I enable JIT debugging on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer? I keep getting different Errors popping up on my computer and the latest one says when I attempted to watch a DVD video with VLC media player but this isn't the first error this week saying
    that JIT debugging must be enabled and I don't know how to do that : ( "Microsoft Visual C++  Runtime Library"  Assertion Failed! Program C:\Program Files (x86) VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe  File: vm.c
    Line: 1765
    Expression: pgcit != NULL
    For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
    (Press Retry to debug the application- JIT must be enabled)

    Hi Rhondavas77,
    To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging
    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
    In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
    In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types:
    Managed, Native, or Script.
    To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are required to change that key.
    Click OK.

  • Creative Cloud both on Mac and Windows on a second computer

    Is it possible to use Creative Cloud both on Mac and Windows on a second computer with one license? At home I work with Mac, and out I work with Windows.

    In 2.1.5 of the Software License Agreement it says that you have to own tow separate licenses if you use Mac and Windows on one computer. Is this not also the case if you have two computers, one operating with Mac and one operating with Windows?
    2.1.5 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. Customer
    must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example,
    if Customer desires to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a
    device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then Customer must first obtain two separate
    licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating
    system platform, are delivered to Customer on the same media.

  • Has anyone got a solution for the inability to update or reinstall itunes 10.6.3 on a windows 7 64 bit computer

    I have been unable to update or reinstall Itunes to my windows 7 64 bit computer.  I have tried most of the suggestions to date to no avail.  My outcome is a dialog box that says itunes was not installed. . .  At one point, it created a situation where my CDDVD drive was disabled but a windows troubleshooter got that back working citing a "class filter driver problem" that it repaired.  Also, Itunes comes up and plays from the optical drive (and the hard drive) but will not write to the CD or refresh my podcast list.  Anyone?

  • I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes

    I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes, and Itunes can't find my Ipad. [email protected]

    Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
    Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
    1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
    A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
    B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
    C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent  iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
    2.  Connect your iPad to your computer -
    A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
    B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
    C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
    D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
    E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
    F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
    NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.
    Also see here as to moving your music to your new computer -

    I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.

    For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
    1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
    KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
    2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from

    3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again
