Unable to Hide Parallels

[mavakil]

Hi everybody,

I had this issue in Tiger and now with Leopard (10.5.2) on my Macbook as well. I'm Using the latest Parallels build 5584. This problem is quite well explained in this earlier thread.

Simply put, when I Cmd+H Parallels doesn't Hide. And also when I go to Finder and do Opt+Cmd+H, all apps get hidden except for Parallels and Finder, whereas Parallels should get hidden as well.

Any one else facing this?

no I just put the mouse
bottom left corner to hide all
and Parallels disappears as it should

But checking if I use the finder menu
Hide Others
Paralleles remains
10.4.11 OS

Hi Hughes,

That's an interesting work around. How do you specifically do that? (ie. put the mouse in the bottom left hand corner to Hide all). Is it via the expose feature to activate Screen Corners and then you choose to Show Desktop? Or is there a better way?

from a private reply:-

please reply to the board
private discussions are a waste of time and the groups intelligence and knowledge is far greater then mine

If you are a newbie on the mac (even if a graduate with deep knowledge of unix) you need to learn how to use the GUI fully

go into system preferences
dashboard and exposé
and set it up how you like it

activate screen corners

the present generation of Macs have two advantages over windows

Unix based not NT based

and a GUI with a higher degree of automation
Window nealy caught up with Win2000 but Mac still leads GUI world

10.5 is getting good reports too

try and got to some seminars run by Adobe or Nikon for example and see how top professional mac users work in finder too


see the various news:comp.sys.mac.* groups on usenet for moire OS helkp

I hung in ther efor six months when i returend to the mac OS after 5 years away
there was much to relearn and new to discover

but the keyboard shortcuts are standardised for almost all programs
