I can't get my windows to move around the screen. I've tried everything. I double click, restart (that only works for pc's) and nothing. I can't put two docs side by side or anything!

I was wondering if anyone knew an app compatible with 10.6.2, which can give me the capabilities of what Windows does with program windows, where if you maximize the window, it locks it so it can't move around the screen.
I think something like this: [URL] But I'm not entirely sure.
I only want this mainly for Firefox and the likes of full screen applications (Mail aswell),
Whenever I make a window full screen, it always moves to the end of the spaces. I have 4 spaces, so my full screen windows always move next to the 4th space without me doing anything.

there are two things that the macbook is doing to me. one is that sometimes when i move the screen up or down (the hinge is rather stiff) a white (thin) line flashes across the screen. but recently, while randomly browsing through the internet, the screen almost... i guess faded to a gray screen, but like gradually, and not like a kernel error, like the display just faded away. happened twice in a row, did a battery pull and now wont do it again.

I don't lose any of my information though when it does that. It just goes into a sleep mode I guess? Anyways, is this a feature from the lion update? Something standard?

Whenever I move my macbook on my desk with the lid open, or when I open the lid, or when I close the lid, my screen flickers to black and then back open many times. Is this a weak connection some where? Sometimes the screen will stay black until I move the lid a little bit. I bought it refurbished from Apple this spring. I do not have applecare.

I use my laptop with a external monitor for music production, and when I use a particular piece of software, I like to have it on my (bigger) external display. I'm wondering if there's any way (using Automator possibly?) to set the menu bar to switch screens automatically when I open this program?
I have a 2012 Macbook Pro and the GPU is causing issues with Yosemite. There are a number of issues I have run across:If I have four tabs open on Safari then I start to get a flickering on the screen from the GPU refreshing.When I leave the computer alone for more than 20 mins the screen saver should start -- what happens is that the screen goes to black. When I move the cursor I do not get the login screen.

How do I move screen recordings to an external hard drive?

had my macbook for about a year and a half and recently it just stopped working. Literally it was fine one minute and the next the screen was just black. I tried turning it on and off and now it stays at the boot screen for like 30 minutes and then just goes to a blue screen. I can move the cursor around the blue screen and stuff but there are no icons and there is no finder or anything. everytime i turn it off and back on the same thing, bootscreen and then bluescreen.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe've had a Macbook now for about 18 months - no problems. However, last night it was very slow in starting-up and then we found it impossible to move any icons around the screen (click+drag). We have just five small folders on the desktop.
Although 'hiding' is 'on', the dock has also disappeared completely and settings for the dock cannot be changed under preferences.
The Macbook won't turn off under 'shut-down', we have to shut-down by holding pressing 'on' button.
My Mac book pro is 1 year old. I just updated my software yesterday now upon starting up, the computer will not move past the start up apple screen.

I would like to move my windows partition from a shared disk with OS X & Windows7 to its own drive. I have true image so that should be easy. I have 2 questions1 Do I need to run bootcamp setup on the new drive before cloning?2 On the old windows partition that I would like to turn into a OS X partition can I just reformat that partition to wipe out windows or is there another step. The other half of the drive is my boot disk so I do not want to reformat the whole drive.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to "grab" and move a window without having to move the cursor to the borders? On linux you can hold down "alt" then click anywhere on a window and the cursor becomes a "hand" so you can grab and move a window around. It makes it easier especially on a laptop so you don't have to move the cursor up to the border.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have 2 drives installed in my MBP 15" i7, via Optibay kit. I have OSX on the main drive, and Windows 7 on the optibay drive. I'm attempting to upgrade/replace the optibay drive.So, I've used Winclone to clone the optibay drive, I have restored it on my new drive, and installed the new drive in place of the old one in the optibay.When I boot OSX, I can see the new bootcamp drive and all its contents. But when I attempt to boot windows, I just get a black screen with a blinking white cursor in the upper left corner
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Santa Rosa MBP with a broken Superdrive, and I need to get Windows 7 installed on Bootcamp. I had a copy of Parallels laying around so I install W7 on that, but now I need a way to image that over to my Bootcamp partition. Is this possible? No amount of Googling is turning anything up.
Alternatively, if anyone knows other ways for me to get W7 on my laptop, that would be just as appreciated. I have tried imaging my flash drive with W7, and unfortunately I get an error on rEFIt that external hard drives are not well-supported by Apple's firmware for legacy OS booting.
When I enter spaces and move a window or dialogue of an application to a new space, it does not automatically move ALL windows of that app. This is frustrating and I end up having to move five or six windows to get the whole app into the new space. This is not the case with all apps, but it seems like spaces has problems with professional apps like Flash, Pro Toots, Photoshop -- it never moves all the little related dialogues and panels. Anyway to fix this other than to close the app and open it fresh in the new space?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWould it be possible to move windows to the "dock bar" when I click on another window? I know it is possible to move it to the docks when we click on the yellow "-" button, but what I want is that it automatically puts itself to the dock when I navigate away from a window. Just like in Windows. Like I want all my windows to be in the docks. It's very annoying having to search for the opened windows.

what would be the easiest? And would the fact that the harddrives are configured differently effect this? HFS to NTFS?

I have a win 7 installation on its own drive in my mac pro. I now need to move it to a new hard drive.
In mac I would use super duper or carbon copy cloner to just copy the lot onto another drive whilst making it bootable. How would I do this with the windows drive?
1) How do I move application windows between spaces from the keyboard? I know I can drag the window to the edge of the window and it'll go to the next space, but I don't like to use the mouse unless it's absolutely required.
2) When I restore a window into the current space, it automatically goes to the space the window originated from. How do I disable this? When I bring a window up from the dock, I want it to open in the space I am currently in.
3) When I open a new application window, it goes to the space where the last application window was located. This is annoying. How do I disable this? I want it to open in the current space, even if I was in another space the last time I had an application open in another space.
I have a MBA, and have decided that I want to have Windows on it as well, since although I hate Windows and love OSX I use quite a lot of Windows only s/w, and I only want to carry one computer.
Couple of questions though:
How big a partition does Windows really need (I have 128GB SSD, about 80GB free right now)?
If I get a new MBP a few months down the line, how easy is it to move the copy of Windows to that? And do they honestly expect me to pay �250 a time to install Windows on two laptops if I decide to keep the old one, even though they are both for me and would never be used at the same time?
This is an honest question, I don't want to cheat anyone, but I'm not exactly made of money, and the price of the Windows os scares me!
I have a new MPB 15" i5 High-Res. I have VMWare fusion running a vm that I use for work. However, I would like to create a boot camp partition for just gaming.
I am looking to upgrade my hard drive to 500GB. The question is: If I create my boot camp partition now, can I just clone it to the new hard drive, or will I have to start over?
Is it as simple as just copying everything over, or should I just wait a few months until I get a new hard drive?
I have XP on a 1 TB HDD (only about 80 GB is used) and I want to move it to a 120 GB partition on an SSD and boot from there.
This would be trivial in OSX - just use carbon copy. But, I can't get it done using Acronis True Image 2010 or any other utility I've tried while in XP. Everything wants to clone the entire 1 TB and not simply the 80ish GB of files.
What should I use to accomplish my goal (or what must I do different with Acronis)?
