Aug 22, 2014I'm using OS X 10.9.4 on an iMac (late 2010).
I have a problem with window positions not being where they should be when changing from one logged in user to another logged in user. I have two user accounts and the problem occurs only for one user. I will describe the problem using the below combination of text and images.
I have tried all sorts of things including, repair permissions, boot into the restore mode to do an ACL repair, but I have also tried to delete and recreate the account that has the resolution problem without any success.
Step 1: I'm logged in as user number one, all good.
Step 2: Now it is time to change to user number two.
Step 3: The user change is done with no problems at all. When I, from user number two, changes back to user number one again this happens.
The normal spin: Wierd half screen grey and all windows are gathered ontop of each other instead of being left were they was previous to the user change. The screen does not get half grey when I do the user change in the other direction.
The whole screen is back but all windows are still gathered ontop of each other instead of being left were they was previous to the user change.

OS X Mavericks :: 10.9.4 - Finder Doesn't Draw Windows Correctly
Sep 1, 2014I'm running 10.9.4 on a Macbook Pro 2.9 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8GB RAM. Finder has stopped drawing windows correctly. If I am in Finder and chose New Window in the Archive Meny, a new Window opens, but I don't see anything. Well, I can see something, I see the outlines of the window, the icons at the top and stuff in at the left of the window like favorites, drives, shared network drives, but the I don't see the actual files in the newly opened window.
The windows opens, but I only see what's behind the Finder window. For instance, If I open a new Finder window (like Documents) on top of Safari where I write this post, I'll not see documents but this text I'm writing. I've tried restarting the computer to no avail. I have tried resetting NVRAM/PRAM without success. Thinking if there perhaps is a plist file for this, but I don't know.

Sep 4, 2014I can resize columns in list view and drag them to the order that I want, but that only lasts until I close the window. If I open that folder again in (list view is the default), the column widths and arrangement return to their original configuration. How to make changes in individual folder windows and make them permanent?

OS X Mavericks :: Finder Beach Balling - Failed Setting Front Application To Finder - Error?
Jun 3, 2014 I upgraded my MacBook Pro quad core 2.5 from Lion to Mavericks. Since then I get a LOT of beachballs when I'm using Finder. I repaired permissions, deleted com.apple.finder.plist (twice) and finally reinstalled Mavericks over the first one. Still painfully slow and lots of beachballs.

Mar 2, 2012Over the years my finder windows have been set to different colors, font sizes and so on. When I make a change I select the make default box in the show view options, but they never default except for that one finder window. I have erased com.apple.finder.plist and just for fun the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist but can not get the finder to go to a true default. Is there another plist that I am missing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Saving Window Positions And Sizes?
Dec 9, 2009I work with different resolution monitors at work and home. 22" 1920x1200 at work and 30" 2560x1600 at home. The problem is that OSX tends to throw the windows out of place on the 30" (connected via mini-DP to Displayport cable on my MBP 13") or resizes them to the 1280x800 size of the internal monitor after waking from sleep when connecting the 30" display at home.
Is there any program that would save and restore the window positions and sizes so I wouldn't have to rearrange them all the time?

MacBook :: Can't Close Finder Windows - Finder Reopens Them
May 1, 2012When I close a finder window, the finder menu disappears and then reappears along with the finder window. It looks like finder is crashing and restarting. This started happening after I downloaded a pdf and put it in a folder. Maybe there is a bug in the way finder is rendering the image of the pdf file at the top of the finder window?
How can I restore normal behavior of finder?

Hardware :: Window Sizes And Positions For Different Resolutions?
May 17, 2009I just bought a 24" ACD, and I love it. However, because my MacBook Pro is only 1440x900 resolution, if I resize anything it'll go out of proportion on my MacBook Pro screen.
Ideally, if there was such a program, I'd love to be able to have my windows set a size and position for 1900x1200 resolution, and for them to have a different size and revert to that when I use my MacBook Pro's 1440x900 display.
Does that make sense? I just don't think I can be bothered having to resize Safari, drag any windows that were over on the right hand side of the 24" display back over on my MacBook Pro display just to see them when I unplug the 24".
I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make an application that does something like that - just take note of the window positions and sizes for both resolutions and switch between them when the resolution is changed.
OS X :: Remembering App Positions For Single/dual Monitor Setups?
Feb 27, 2009I'm running Mac OS 10.5.6. When I plug in the external monitor to my MacBook Pro, I setup Firefox and Entourage on my notebook monitor and Photoshop on the external. I also move the Apple menu bar to the external (since PS is my main app I like having the menu bar close by). Photoshop doesn't present a problem because I'm able to switch the layout for different workspaces (laptop alone or laptop and external), but I find that Firefox and Entourage don't remember their positions.
For example, my current setup is dual monitors as mentioned above. When I get home and power up the notebook, I'll launch all the same apps. Firefox is just barely within view hanging off the left side of the screen so I'll grab the window and drag it over so I can access the green button (not sure what this is called). Entourage displays just fine. When I get back to work the next day and plug in the external, Firefox displays on the external with the window sized to fit the notebook monitor) and I'll just drag it over. Entourage loads into the external as maximized and I'll drag it over and click the green button.
OS X V10.7 Lion :: External Monitor Window Positions Lost?
Feb 22, 2012I was just upgraded from a 13" mbp on 10.6 to a 15" mbp on 10.7.3 and I'mn having a lot of issues with the UI changes. The biggest bother at the moment deals with window positions when I undock my laptop to take it to a meeting. I unplug all the cables, head to a meeting, and when I get back and plug everything in, my external monitor shows a blank desktop. I need to drag everything back into place for a two display setup.
If I move the menu bar to the external display everything will shoot over to the external display when docked, leaving the mbp screen empty. This is a real pain and I can't figure out what purpose it serves.
Is there a setting I could change to correct this behavior?

OS X Mavericks :: Printer Won't Work Despite Reset
Aug 31, 2014My newish Canon LBP 6000 printer periodically stops working. I've always managed to get it going again by reinstalling it. This time, nothing I do is working. Here is a screen shot of what I get.
When I try to print, (first window, top left), the "sending data to printer" message goes on endlessly. I tried unplugging the printer USB from the computer, and then got the second window ("the printer is not connected"/"the printer is offline"). If I try to get supply levels, through System Utilities, the information is not available. Does that mean the computer can't read/send data to the printer? When I try to open Printer Utility, I get the "Printer Error" message (last window) saying "there are no registered printers. Add a printer..." But I've added the printer several times, after downloading the proper software.
I reset the printer system. When I added the printer back on, it came up with the old information:
P.S. From the first time I set up the printer, about a year ago, it always took much longer to read a document and start printing than our almost identical printer at work. That one invariably starts printing (on a PC) within 2 or 3 seconds; mine, on the Mac, takes at least12, often more.

OS X Mavericks :: Can't Reset Advanced Mail Preferences
Jun 24, 2014Using Mail 7.3. In response to the piling up emails on all devices I went into advanced setting under Mail preferences and set it to removed emails from the server. I immediately realized this wouldn't work bc now I can't get my email for that email account on my iPad. It goes to my desktop and then no other devices.
When I go back to reset that so it doesn't delete from the server I get this message: Invalid Directory
The account path /Users/emma/Library/Mail/V2/POP-Info@movementsofthesoul.org@mail.movementsofthesoul.org is already being used by the account “cmos”
It won't let me Save the change. Apparently it doesn't like that I have two email addresses (accounts) with that domain.
OS X Mavericks :: MBP Will Unable To Boot WITHOUT PRAM Reset
Aug 22, 2014Updated to OS X Mavericks last week. Ever since, it has been experiencing boot problems.
- If I restart my Macbook Pro (2011 13", lowest model), it will sit at the grey screen with apple logo and spinning grey wheel forever. I notice that my HDD is NOT running (no clicking / writing sounds)
- If I restart with a PRAM reset or holding down option to select Macintosh HD boot, the hard drive starts to run (I can hear it) and it boots successfully... it takes 5+ minutes to boot up. The grey screen with apple logo is presented on my screen for about 4 minutes, then the login screen shows up but I cannot move my mouse or select a login user for 30 seconds. After this, I can log in succesfully.
-Also, switching users takes 1+ minutes. Clicking "switch user" freezes my screen.
