Software :: How To Prevent ITunes From Staying On Top
Jun 19, 2009
make it go behind another window on which I click. It won't go back. Stays on top.
Windowshade lets me reduce it to just the title bar, but I'd like the window still open — and not minimized to the dock.
In the prefs I do find a box to check (or uncheck) for the miniplayer and videos, but nothing for the main window (unless I'm just duh, overlooking something—not unusual.)
Any pointers? I'm OK with Terminal, if anyone has the magic words there.

Normally I have my music stored on an external HD. When I sync my iPhone the music is synced with the content of the external drive. Were I not to have the drive turned on during the sync, iTunes would delete the music on my iPhone as it would sync the "no music" on my pc with the music on my iPhone. Now I am traveling and will be away from my external HD for about a month. I would like to add some apps to my iPhone but if I do a sync I will lose all that music until I can get back home. Not what I want to have happen. Is there any way to prevent iTunes from syncing the music, i.e. just letting what's there alone and syncing the rest of the content?

Whenever I sync my iPhone 5S, iTunes goes through a process of "transferring purchases" (always apps) that takes a really long time.
It is is step 4 of 6 in the syncing process.
However, none of the apps that I watch it "transfer" are actually new. For example, I've had the Facebook app for almost a year. But every time I sync my phone, iTunes "transfers" the Facebook app (among others).
How do I get this to stop? Does it have something to do with the fact that apps are updated? Does that make iTunes think they are new?
Info:
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2

Is there a way to prevent newly added books and pdf's to iTunes from syncing automatically to all my iOS devices? Every time I add a new book or PDF to my iTunes library (under OS X) the next time I sync any of my iOS devices they are automatically synched to that device. I want to select by my myself which books or PDF's I want to sync and when. As i own 2 iPad's and 2 iPhones it is very annoying to delete the new additions from each device tab in iTunes or on the device itselfs after synching. Sometimes I add 10 books at a time to iTunes manually and I don't want them to be synced to any device at the moment but they get automatically marked for syncing in iTunes. I use the latest iTunes 10.6. and all devices are on iOS 5.1?

iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, iOS 5.1

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, My MBP refuses to stay asleep. I usually put it to sleep and then close the laptop. After 30 min to a few hours of remaining in sleep mode, it will wake up on its own. Since it is in clamshell mode, it goes back into sleep mode and then immediately wakes up again and remains in this endless cycle. Annoying when I am trying to sleep. Below is what appears in the logs each time it wakes up:
I did an upgrade from 10.5.8. The only USB device installed is a mouse. I did some research and did not find much. I deleted the files in LibraryPreferencesSystemConfiguration and rebooted. I also removed the Airport service and readded it. I thought the cause was Airport but now I am not so sure. Any ideas? I am not having any other issues.

I've got my spaces set up in a very straightforward and intuitive way (for me at least). I've got Internet in one, word processing in one, media in one, and Mail/Address Book/iCal in one.
Lately, though, it seems like none of the apps will stay in their assigned spaces. iTunes will end up in another space; Mail will end up in the wrong place; and clicking on Mail will bring up iCal in the wrong space.

My macbook pro is the 13 inch model from summer 2009.
Has ran great for 4 years, but for the past few days it has been stuck at 100%. I know that it is not 100% battery because i drained the battery on purpose to see if it would reset.

After reading about the Wake-on-Demand feature of Snow Leopard, it got me thinking about why I never put my iMac to sleep.
The reason is because if i put it to sleep, I lose my network connection.
In other words, the only reason I keep my iMac awake: to stay signed on with iChat.
(There's other stuff too, like downloading something or seeding a torrent, but they are very rare occasions, and I wouldn't mind turning sleep off for those, then turn it back on once done).
I think AIM or Apple should introduce a feature where you can stay signed on even after you disconnect, like how it works with the iPhone. That way your computer can go to sleep, and you will still receive your messages. You will receive them as soon as you wake up your Mac and re-connect to the internet.

A few days ago my iBook G4 stopped staying asleep, but not in every situation. Here are the various scenarios....Close lid, computer plugged in, cd drive sounds like it spins and the computer wakes back up; Close lid, computer not plugged in, computer stays asleep; Choose "Sleep" from menu, computer plugged in, cd drive sounds like it spins and the computer wakes back up; and Choose "Sleep" from menu, computer not plugged in, cd drive sounds like it spins and the computer wakes back up.
I should note that there is nothing in the CD drive; it's empty. I tried such things as resetting the nvram, pram and pmu, all to no avail. Last night I reformatted and reinstalled the original system software using the original installation disks, which put me back to OS 10.3.xx. STILL DOESN'T WORK!

Im about to embark on a semester of exchage in Canada, which needless to say is a long way from where I live (Sydney).
I have an iBook with a combo drive running 10.3.4 and access to a new powerbook with a superdrive. I would like to make a complete back up of my computer onto DVD so I restore should I have any problems while I am away.
How would I do this so I can restore off the DVD's? If I can do this I dont need to carry all my other software CD's etc and I can save some space.

My Magsafe charger started acting really odd today. It started with the light not working when I was charging the computer. Even tough the light didn't come on the computer still said it was charging. I unplugged it for a bit & plunged it back in. This time the light came on & it was green even though it wasn't fully charged. But now when i unplug it, the light stays on as long as its plugged into the wall. The only thing I've changed lately is I replaced the hard drive, but its been about a week and this just started happening tonight.

No matter how many times I reset my default browser back to Safari, it always changes back to Firefox. This happens if Firefox is opened, or if I restart my computer. Either way, it's very annoying and highly inconvinent.

When my screen is closed the computer continues to run, and does not respond when the monitor is reawakened. Furthermore, upon shutdown, I have to remove the battery and reset power management in order to get the computer to turn on. If I just shut it down, the computer refuses to come on, hearing the hard drive make its sound before just going out to lunch.
Disk Utility says the hard drive is okay because it would not get past the black screen.

It is "unlocked". Every time I click it, it just stays unlocked and won't actually lock. For example, I can't lock it on the "Energy Saver" prefpane, but I can lock/unlock on the Accounts prefpane...

Is there any Terminal commands that will do this? I use Spotlight all the time - to load documents to loading applications. However, I hate how it makes any DVD's in my drive spin up. I never search DVD's, so turning this off wouldn't be an issue.

I would like to connect one of those Master/Slave Powersplitters to my Macbook Pro when I'm at home.
However, this has given me an issue.
When I choose Sleep, the Macbook goes to sleep, and a few seconds after the the splitter will turn off my screen, speakers, Printer and all other accesories.
But as soon as this happens, The Mac wakes up again.
For simplicity at home I have one USB connected to the mac, that goes to the built in USB hub of the screen.
I tried to disconnect everything from the hub leaving only the hub connected.

here at school (where i also work in the IT depo), people have been Playing WoW(even staff members) when they are not supposed to(which is anytime). We have been able to combat it on windows in the form of software restriction polices, but have no solution for the macs.
Is there a way to block wow.app? or better yet also be able to block all .App's from an external drive?
I really dont want to use parental controls and select the dozens of other "ok" apps.

If file sharing is enabled, then anyone can drop files into a user's "Drop Box" with write-only permissions. Is there any way to prevent overwriting here? Like if two users dropped different files with the same name, how do you keep both of them?
