<\/p>\nThere are a few possible causes for this behavior:<\/p>\n
1. Display settings <\/b>
\nThe most common way for the main window of Logger Pro<\/i> or Logger Lite to be hidden is to have the computer configured for two monitors in a non-mirrored configuration. This is easy to accidentally do with a projector. <\/p>\n
If you have a second display, test this by disconnecting the display cable from your computer. Your desktop should refresh, and all windows will be visible.<\/p>\n
2. Spaces<\/b>
\nThere is a feature in Mac OS X 10.5<\/i> and newer called Spaces that creates virtual desktops for organizing your workspace. <\/p>\n
It is possible to have Logger Pro<\/i> or Logger Lite the active application (so that the menu bar is visible) but to have the Logger Pro<\/i> or Lite window contained in a space that isn’t visible. This is confusing if you are not aware that Spaces is enabled. <\/p>\n
In Mac OS 10.7<\/i> (Lion), Spaces are enabled by default as a feature of Mission Control. Use the F3 key to launch Mission Control, and see if the Logger Pro<\/i> window is displayed in another Space.<\/p>\n
To disable spaces in Mac OS 10.5 and 10.6<\/i>, go to System Preferences, choose Expos\u00e9 and Spaces, then the Spaces tab. Uncheck the Enable Spaces checkbox.
\nStarting with OS X 10.5.4, an option in Spaces is available that forces the OS to switch to a space that includes an open window for the application. If you wish to keep Spaces enabled, also enable this option in the Expos\u00e9 and Spaces System Preference. <\/p>\n
3. Reset Logger Pro<\/i> preferences<\/b>
\nIf the above steps do not help to locate the Logger Pro<\/i> window, it is possible the Logger Pro<\/i> preferences file to has become corrupt. The location of this file is:
\n~\/Library\/Preferences\/com.vernier.loggerpro.plist<\/b><\/p>\n
The Logger Lite preferences file is found in the same location and named com.vernier.loggerlite.plist <\/b><\/p>\n
Follow these steps to reset the preferences file:<\/p>\n
1. Quit Logger Pro<\/i> and Logger Lite.<\/p>\n
2. Go to Finder and open the Go menu. <\/p>\n
3. Holding the Option key, choose Library from the Go menu.
\n<\/p>\n
4. Open the Preferences folder.

<\/p>\n
5. Search the folder for “vernier” to find the appropriate file (see above). Move or copy the file to your desktop (as a backup).

<\/p>\n
6. If the file still exists in your Preferences folder, move it to the trash.<\/p>\n
7. Restart your Mac and launch Logger Pro<\/i> or Logger Lite.<\/p>\n
Additional notes:<\/i>
\nA quick way to test if there is a problem with the user or Logger Pro<\/i> settings is to create a new user in OS X and try Logger Pro<\/i> in that environment. If Logger Pro<\/i> works normally there, the problem resides in the settings on the first account. To create a new user, go to System Preferences, and then the Accounts panel. Unlock the panel, if necessary, then click the + button, and create a new admin account. Close System Preferences. Log out, and log into the new account. Test.
\nYou can delete this account from your original account after the test.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
