Applications :: Application For Sizing/Positioning On Alternate Displays
May 16, 2009
I just got a new 1080p display that I'm also using as a secondary monitor. I want to use it as a primary monitor when I'm using my MBP, which I know how to do.
However, the applications need to be resized and positioned when you connect it. Are there any applications that can remember sizing + positioning of applications based on which display is your primary?
It'd be useful to make the display my "docking" station of sorts.

Is there any way of moving the dock maybe a quarter of an inch up from its current position? I am running Snow Leopard and the dock is positioned on the bottom.

So I work with computational chemistry, and we usually work with files on windows boxes, however we've started the transition over to Mac Pros. I have my macbook pro, and I've installed the necessary software, however I have a problem.
We use Notepad to make the input files on XP, because it does not inbed any invisible characters (besides returns etc.) However, whenever I transfer a file (.txt) made with notepad over to my mac, the file will not run in the program we use. It gives an error that usually means you have invisible characters in your input file.
So if I retype the file in Textedit, (NOT copy and paste), the file works fine. The exact same (looking) input file. Does anyone know what's going on here, or know of an application that will let me see these pesky invisible characters? I've tried word, but couldn't find what I wanted,

Recently when the iTunes application is active, I no longer have an iTunes menu bar, and the dock on my iMac does not appear. To switch applications I have to use command Tab and cannot change via the dock.

How do I re-center an application that displays itself too far to the left on my screen? Both my contacts and Safari are showing up too far left -- so that I can't exit/minimize/maximize because those little buttons are off my screen.

i have been wondering where the top end imac sits in relation to the rest of apples line up. for example the top end imac is far from any normal consumer needs (core 2 duo 3GHz for iphoto anyone?) but many pro's only want a macpro for working on. so where is this machine meant to be? consumer? prosumer (what ever that is)? pro?
i use my imac for video editing and motion graphics and it works like a dream.

I'm trying to find a better archiving tool for sounds and music, particularly useful for sound designers. iTunes has many of the features I like because creates an easy-to-search library for music but I'd like to add other tags to the files and be able to categorize them more specifically by types of sounds/music. Plus, I don't want to add a whole sound library in the middle of my music collection for iTunes.

I'm not sure what I did but only on one specific page does Safari increase the font size. Going to zoom out makes it the way its meant to look but it doesn't stay permanent.

Hoping someone here has experience and can clarify.
The bag is going to be dual purpose, to carry either my 13" MBP (with SecondSkin) or my DELL 14" work laptop.
The 'true' width/dimensions fit within the Timbuk2 guidelines by about 1CM on both. I emailed Timbuk2 and they said it would be too tight for a medium, but having read all the posts about M fitting a 15" laptop I'm some what confused.

I have been using the album art player thing in the new ITunes and now the album art unknown is really starting to get to me. I have a lot of old music I have been collecting over the years and a lot of the data was either not there or for whatever reason is not there. I am looking for a program to do either an audio scan or something to find all my album art work and information that itunes displays. I have used the ITunes find album artwork but some songs done have the album listed. What do I do from here. I am not going through 4k songs to get them all manually.

I think at some point in the past I had Stuffit Expander installed on my Leopard box. I suspect this because when I browse to a .sit file I still get the choice to 'open with stuffit expander'. If I select this choice I get a text edit file with a bunch of gibberish in it.
I don't want to reinstall Stuffit on my SL box. I remember Stuffit being really invasive and try to take over the unzipping of .zip files from the OS X archive utility, etc.
So, I have two questions;
1. Is there any other way to unpack .sit files?
2. Is there any way to clean out the last traces of my previous stuffit installation?

I recently purchased a mint condition iBook G3 for an absolute steal, but the only problem is it has OS X 10.2.8 on it. I have Tiger but it's on a DVD and this iBook doesn't happen to have a DVD drive on it - just the CD-ROM. I can't really install much of any updated apps (Adobe Reader, Flash player, newer web browsers, etc etc) with 10.2.8 so it's crucial I get it on there. I tried using an external DVD drive I have but no go - the disc never popped up.
My only thoughts on how I could get this on there would be to install it from a .iso image somehow or to use a flashdrive. How would I go about doing this? I'm only vaguely experienced in using OS X so I don't know the programs well enough to know what to download or use - something that's just a trial would be fine if I can use something to mount a .iso image of my Tiger disc that I can put on the machine from a flash drive and install it that way. This is my only Mac so the other computers in my house which I could manipulate the Tiger disc on are Windows 7 based.
I really want to update this iBook so I can see webpages properly (Safari 1.0 is the newest I'm allowed to install and I can't update flash!). I saw someone being able to install it from an iPod but they used the firewire - I have an iPhone 3G if it's easier to somehow install it from that. If this were a PC laptop I already know of Windows based ISO mounting programs, I just need to know of something I can install on an old 10.2.8 install (Something that I cannot seem to find anywhere!!) so either that or the ability to turn a flash drive into what would allow the computer to install Tiger straight off the drive as if it were the disc.

1) I have on one of the drives a separate OS X partition to boot from (10.4.11). It hangs just as it gets to the desktop and goes no further. I never get a menu bar or a pointer or any of my desktop icons. The booting never finishes. I've tried to re-install the OS, except for problem number 2.
2) When I try to boot from my Mac Pro CD ROM, it does the same thing. It gets to the blue desktop and stops there. No pointer, menu bar, or anything. So I can never get to fix problem number 1.
My main bootable drive in bay 1 still boots just fine, although it frequently seems to take a tad longer. But it does finish the booting process so I have a partition to work with.
I recently replaced the stock cooler on my X1900 graphics card, and that's when the problems started, though I'm not clear how that could be the cause.

My wife is bombarded with work these days. She works on a 2006 Mac Pro that's in need of a complete OS reinstall. There's almost no time for her to stop and have me work on her machine, unless I did it all in one night, but I hate rushing something like this. I'd like to know if I can build a drive, with all her software, etc., on my 2010 Mac Pro and then simply drop it in her machine when it's complete. Since they're completely different year models will I end up with odd problems?

In Lion's Terminal, there is an option in the View menu to Show/Hide Alternate Screen. This does not appear to be documented in Terminal's Help.
