Windows minimize

how can you prevent the windows to minimize all over the screen as soon as your mouse quits one... this is a real pain...
it seems also that the cursor has a tendency to slide or jump randomly, thought it was my mouse but that doing it with a different mouse.. anybody experiences the same?
not impressed with leopard so far!

here is a link to a page on how to do it--I got it off of an earlier post in this forum.

How can i eliminate window minimize to dock animation

How can I:
1. eliminate all animations when window minimizes or maximizes from the dock (create blink in, blink out)
2. speed up animation of window to/from dock to instantaneous

open System Preferences -> Dock. Change 'Minimize windows using' from Genie effect to Scale effect,
That doesn't eliminate the animation. It only changes the type or effect.
untick 'Animate opening applications'.
That just stops the icon bouncing in the Dock when an application is launching. Again, it has no effect on the window animation.
Regards.

Clicking on a link box window minimizes instead of going to the link

50% of the time when i click on a link box, the window minimizes instead of going to the link. I tried adjusting mouse click, etc.
Nothing helps.
Drives me crazy!!!
Is there an adjustment or is this an inherent problem with this system?

Hi
Maybe some additional informations would be more helpful;
What notebook you have?
What OS are you using?
What window do you mean exactly?
What link do you mean exactly?
Such details would be appreciated

Continuous play and window minimize

I have not used my itunes for a while on my home computer. I play it at work almost every day. I came home tonight and turned it on and it plays one song and stops. I have to go and click on the next song. At work, it just plays various songs. I think I have it set to random at work. Tonight, I want it to play through the libray, in order by the album. But it just plays one song and waits for me to click on the next. Obvious someone (my son I would guess) has clicked on something to turn off continuous play. Under control, I see a choice for play, which I've chosen and it plays one song. I also clicked on the play arrow in the gray bar at the top, and it plays one song. Shuffle and repeat are options at the bottome of the control pull down menu.
How do I get to just play until I tell it to stop?
Also, when I click on the green button at the top left of the itunes window, to minimize the window down into the small gray box for the tiniest control, it doesn't shrink, it just jumps to the right about an inch. Each time I click the green button, it jumps left or right an inch or so, but does not shrink/minimize at all. How do I get that to work again? oh, I'm running itunes 9.0
I HATE it when kids, (even young adult kids) mess with my stuff and then are not home to help fix it!!!
LOL

Look at the songs in your music library. If the small box left of the song's name does not have a checkmark, it will only play when you click on it. Normally, all your songs will have a check, except those you want to exclude, like Christmas songs when it's not the season.
You can checkmark all songs at once by holding the command key and clicking the box for one song.
If your iTunes is version 9.0, you can get the mini player by holding the option key while clicking the green button. If you upgrade to iTunes 9.0.1, the green button behavior is "fixed" to work as it always has. To upgrade, select "Software Update" under your Mac's  menu.

Excel 2007 Window Minimizes while typing

Hi,
We have a user with a slightly different type of issue. The user has 2 monitors, and when Excel is in the second screen, the active window will sometimes, suddenly, become minimized. We have been able to reproduce this event, and confirmed that
no keyboard shortcut is being pressed to cause this. Also, not all windows on the 2nd display minimize - just the active Excel window.
Finally, when this happens, the window seems to just disappear, not a "fade to the taskbar" like a normal "minimize" function. The document is closed, so there is no data loss, but the work-flow is interrupted and is very frustrating
for this VIP user.
We are running Office 2007 with Outlook 2010, and all the latest updates and service packs.
Any help you can suggest would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jeff

Every once in a while, a black box will cover the windows minimize, maximize, and close buttons, and then I can't minimize firefox quickly or easily.

After a bunch of browsing, a black window takes over the windows caption bar and covers the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. When this happens, I can't close firefox except by accessing the firefox menu. And there is no way to minimize or maximize the window.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Adjusting an image for window minimization

We have an image that we are posting directly to the page instead of calling it from an html portlet for performance reasons. Does anyone know how we can set our image to adjust if someone minimizes the window. Right now if it is minimized, everything adjusts but the image and you can scroll over and see the ugliness. Thank in advance for any suggestions!

why dont you try to use a <table> and width and height use % like 90% not a fixed number.

All windows minimize every few seconds

All of the windows open on my desktop minimize every few seconds.
If I open something in Windows 8 mode, it works fine. But on the desktop, the windows will minimize after about 10 seconds

Hi Olga5,
What is your current situation?
How about the keyboard shortcuts (Use Windows Key + E to open Windows Explorer more
shortcuts) worked here?
When did this issue first happen?
In addition to what Robert suggested, please also take a check with clean boot:

Acrobat window minimizes to a line

Acrobat 9 pro MacbookPro.
When I open a PDF on an external monitor, then detatch the monitor and view the file from the laptop screen, the PDF shrinks into a single line like 'l' or to just the top little bar with the three window buttons on my dashboard (see picture) . For files that shrink to just a line, I can't maximize it to read. The whole window is just shrunk down to a short line and is stuck that way. Only solution is to close it from the main dropdown menu and to reopen it. Annoying. Any solution?
Thanks!

That works for the pdf that still has a bar to click, but for the other one, it's really just a line. Double/triple/ten-ble clicks on that line doesn't do anything

Youtube window minimizes when opening new tab

Hi,
So.. I have a problem
I'm using Macbook Pro Retina 15 (early 2013) with Yosemite and Safari. When I'm watching Youtube videos, and YT is the only tab open i can maximize the window so it's really big (not full screen), but when I open new tab, and get back to the YT, window gets smaller (cant change it via YT navigation). Closing every other tab except YT helps, and everything goes back to normal, big window again. Any thoughts ?
Thanks

After installing Firefox 4 the window minimizes at random, how do I fix this?

The title pretty much sums it up.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Sometimes Can't minimize windows

I've searched the forums and didn't find anything about this, so forgive me if there are and I missed them. Lately the minimize buttons in Safari and in Finder windows are grayed out. I can't minimize anything. I can quit Safari and restart it and its fine, but then seemingly randomly grays out again. Command-M doesn't work, either does going to Window-Minimize. I can re-launch Finder or restart my computer and that fixes the finder window problems. I really have no clue what the problem is, I have the up to date upgrades from Apple. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Mac Mini 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Same here, I guess I encounter that since 10.4.5 or even earlier. After a random amount of time, the Finder Minimize Buttons get disabled; I can then relaunch the Finder and everything is fine again. Don't know about Safari since I use Camino as a browser.
TiBook 1GHz, System Up-To-Date, 768MB RAM, 80GB HD (15GB available), FileVault enabled.

Minimize Window capability disabled

Lately I've been seeing the yellow "bead" in the upper lefthand corner of a window turn gray, at which point all "minimize window" functionality stops (i.e. clicking the yellow bead, typing Command+M, selecting Window>Minimize, or double-clicking the title bar).
I can now replicate this loss of functionality by
(a) opening a new window (the particular application doesn't seem to matter. Minimize is active.
(b) switching to Parallels which is running Windows XP in full-screen mode in a different Space.
(c) switching back to the original Space, at which point the Minimize function is inactive.
This just began happening after I installed Parallels 4.0.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is it related to Parallels, or Spaces?
Thanks,
Chap

I'm confused. The yellow button is the one you click to send the window to the Dock, not minimize the window, the green button does that.
{quote}
Actually, "minimize" does mean "send window to Dock". If you look under the Window menu you'll see an item called "Minimize", which sends the window to the Dock.
The green button is the "do anything except what I expected it would do" button
