Window slides off the screen

The window I have open often slides off the screen when I'm on the internet.

Do you have a Magic Mouse or Trackpad? I so, open System Preferences, select the appropriate tab (Mouse or Trackpad) and select More Gestures. Turn off Swipe between pages.

Software window slid off the screen - can no longer access this software

I cannot acces my Filemaker Pro database.
When I open the database, the window has slid off the screen, only the bottom is visible.
I cannot pull it back on the desktop, I cannot see the fields.
How can I get it back on the desktop?
Comments appreciated.

Here is the area of the desktop where it is.
I also tried the "assign to" desktop trick, but "assign to" is grayed out.

When I attempt to bring up firefox, It will pop up yet slide off the screen. In which, I can't get on firefox now. What could the issue be?

I will click on the browser to bring it up. Yet, whenever I do. It will seam to be appearing but also slide off the screen to make it un-visable. Firefox appears to work just fine except for I can't actually get on. I uninstalled the program and then re-installed it. But the issue persists.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

MacBook Pro Display (window) shifts off the screen when I move my mouse

With a slight move with my magic mouse, my entire open window will shift completely off the screen with only a part of the window still visible. I have to click on the exposed edge of the window for it to shift back into place. It's only the window of the program that I have open that moves. The dock and the desktop image stays in place. I'm using an HP external monitor now but it was doing this before I hooked up the monitor. I've tried maximizing and minimizing my window but that does not seem to have an effect. Could it be the magic mouse? Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow. The power of Google is truly amazing. Just a little while ago, my husband was going nuts with our computer. I googled the words 'when I move my mouse to the left, the screen moves to the right'. And, Eureka! What do you think was the first thing that popped up on Google?
Well, the answer to my question, of course!:P Which led me right to here. It may not have been me that asked the question, but this did answer MY question!
Apparently this applies to Leopard too. Thanks alot!

The entire window went off the screen to the right, can see icon at bottom but when I click on it it zips off to the right.

I was working in Firefox and clicked on something which made the entire window flash off to the right, unable to be seen. The Firefox icon is available at the bottom but when I click it, it sends the screen off to the right. Click on icon again and it will take it from "off the screen" back into the icon. I tried restarting with no change. It only affects one user on the computer.

I created thirty pages using ipages and my web manager is having difficulty placing them on my website, some change color, some slide off the screen. Is there a place for problem solving for ipages and website?

Hi, I thoroughly enjoy the ipage program and prefer it to the similar one offered by Word. But my web manager is having countless difficulties. I converted everything to PDF's for him but several of the ipages are loading with a different backround color. He says he has to meta tag each page since this cannot happen automatically. On my Mac, the pages are loading after the navigation bar is selected, and it takes about three to four seconds. On my iphone, however, each page takes at least eight seconds to load and then it slides right off the screen before it can be read. I really want to continue using ipages to update my website but I am a rookie and do not understand why each ipage cannot simply open when someone goes to my website. It would be great to do away with the loading of each page and I would like to also minimize any of my margins. Thanks for any help on this strange matter. Mary

Converting pages to pdf is not the usual way make a website. You may want to try some other app where you can directly create the html which is the customary format for the web.

My spreadsheet "slides " off the screen without warning

I find that when I'm working on a spreadsheet it suddenly slides off the right hand side of the screen. If I press the Numbers icon in the dock it reapears only to disappear again a few minutes later. Has anyone else had this problem? It only started since I've been using Numbers 3.

I do use a magic mouse but this event occurs even when I'm just looking at the screen. Thanks for reply anyway.

My dialog windows appear off the screen...please help

Many of my dialog windows such as paragraph styles, or when I place items appear off the screen (I see the bottom of the window, but not the top which means I cannot move them around) - Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue. I am using CS6, and my 'Effects' box is off the screen and unusable. I have tried resetting the workspace, changing the workspace, restarting the program, rebooting the system, switching between multiple and single monitor....all with no effect. The dialog box is always in the same place; in the upper left of the screen. Any further help would be appreciated.
Mac OS X 10.8.2
InDesign CS6 with the latest updates
15" MacBook Pro Retina
FIXED: As soon as I posted this, I had a thought. While that dialog box was active, I went to System Preferences>Displays>Gather Windows. May or may not work for original poster.

Every time I open a second document the 1st one slides off the screen and I have to reopen everything. I want to view more than 1 document at the same time.

How can I view and work on more than one document at a time? I've never had a problem with this but suddenly every time I open a new document the 1st one slides over out of sight. How do I get that to stop?

Hi bbd,
Here is a screen shot of two documents open side by side. Drag the first document to the left of the screen. Open another document and drag it to the right of the screen.
I have not had an open document slide from view. Puzzling!

Ian.

When Safari is in full screen, the window slides off screen to the right after a short period of time. How do I fix this?

When Safari is in full screen, window slides off screen to the right after a few seconds. Does not happen if Safari is not full screen. How do I fix this?

You are probably inadvertently swiping to another full-screen app. Are you using a magic trackpad? Does this happen without you touching anything?

How do I recover a window that has gone off the screen ?

The upper and right hand sides of my "Adobe Elements Organizer" application window have gone permanently off my Imac screen and try as I might, I can't drag or minimize this window to centre it on my desktop as a much smaller size and thereby recover control of it.    The missing window top contains some commands I can't access and so does the missing right hand side of the application window. Have tried junking app prefs, turning off Spaces, starting and restarting the computer.   Problem does not occur in other accounts using the same app - so something is screwed up with this app's window size defaults or settings or prefs in my user account only.
anyone have any suggestions?
Deleting all the "com.adobe.elements organizer.plist" files does NOT cure my problem.   I suspect it has something to do with Mavericks' poorly tested 'multiple displays' feature -- that likely has some bugs in it.   This app window seems to think it's on a much bigger monitor than my 21.5" Imac.'   short of removing and reinstalling the app itself or getting a windows machine, I can think of nothing else to do.

Not sure I follow what you mean: When I open Mission Control, the entire troubled application window is then (hurrah !!!) visible on the Mission Control "Overview" screen - but when I c\olick in that app and I am returned to the normal operating screen, it's all cut off again. It will not let me click and hold and then drag on its lower black border; I can only resize it in the direction that pushes it further off the screen.
This app's main window remains stubbornly frozen in position - up at, and extending right off of, the top right of my screen and it does not respond to normal dragging - normal attempts to pull it down and see the lower right corner so I can resize the window by dragging its corner inward diagonally.
Can you describe what you want me to try in different words. By invoking I assume you mean opening mission control.   That I am doing and that's the only way I can see the whole window looming quite normal.   But it won;t render for me that normal way on a normal operating screen.

Finder window resizing lower left corner is off the screen - Help!

Moving from a 17" PowerBook to the 13" MBA, my Finder windows are too big. If I could only change my default window size from the 17" to the 13" I could Command-A Command-C Command-V the contents of my larger old windows to the smaller new screen...or a global resize of the windows would be even better. Any suggestions?

That won't work when it is too big and off the screen.
You have to click OPTION and the GREEN button to be able to resize it when it's off the screen.

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.

My new version of Firefox (downloaded automatically) on my Mac displays long paragraphs in emails as a single line, so the end of the paragraph is off the screen. How can I make it automatically wrap to fit the screen?

Long paragraphs in incoming emails display as a single line, with the end of the paragraph running off the screen. I want to make it wrap automatically to fit the screen.

For the browser window, just drag it to the top left of the screen (click and hold on the top bar with the traffic lights to drag), then in the bottom right of the window you'll see a rectangle with diagonal hatching. Click and hold on that and drag the window to the size you want.
Clicking on the green dot at top left will expand the window to fit the screen, clicking it again will shrink it back to where it was (this doesn't work in Finder windows quite the same).
The menu bar size is set in the bowels of the OS, though there may be third-party applications which can alter it.
As it's size is relative to the screen resolution, you could try reducing the resolution in System Preferences > Displays to see if that would suit you better.

Reader XI has the print button off the screen when on 800x600 resolution

Reader XI has the print button off the screen when on 800x600 resolution as well, how to fix without changing resolution? A user needs the resolution set to that for her eyes.
I see that this was an issue in Reader X and update 10.1.3 resolved it. What was the fix?

The scrollbar appears and works but unfortunately the dialog size is still too big therefore the print button ends up being hidden by the windows taskbar. Could you please make sure that the print dialog size is calculated against the work area (desktop size minus the taskbar, there's a win32 API to get that) rather than the whole desktop to fix the issue?
That would also fix another issue: when the taskbar is sized higher than usual whatever the resolution you have it could still end up covering the print buttons but if you calculate against the work area rather than the desktop area that issue would be fixed as well.
Please don't leave it unfixed because even if the requirements say 1024x768 if you have higher DPI settings or have a taskbar with a non-default size the print button could easily become unreacheable.
