How to use Desktop 1, 2, ... ?

Until now, I had not seen the potential in the many desktops that OS X can provide. However there is some of its functionality that I don't know to use, I am sure.
Could anyone point to a video or user manual where I might find some answers?
Thanks,
Juan

What OS are you using?
The following applies to Mavericks since you posted in the Mavericks forum. Some of this will work with 10.6.
Mission Control – Work in Multiple Spaces    
If you want to keep the desktops in a specific order, go to System Preferences/Mission Control and uncheck the box " Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use." You can also select the box below that so if you open an application, you'll be taken to that space.
If you want to cut down the number of desktops, there is also an option to remove the Dashboard as a desktop and have it work like it did in Snow Leopard. That can be set in System Preferences/Mission Control by deselecting Show Dashboard as a  space. You can access the Dashboard by clicking on the Dashboard icon in the dock or using the FN 12 key.
If you are using Mavericks, please update your profile to show 10.9

  • How to use Desktop Manager to synchronize several address books?

    Customer found on BlackBerry device - address book options - there's 2 Desktop under Address Books. How to specify which address book will be synchronized with outlook via desktop manager as  a wired sync?

    Your having this issue, because at first, your blackberry was trying to sync via the BES, then you hooked it up to the desktop manager. The desktop managed then tried to sync the device over the wire via the desktop manager and turned of wireless sync, how do you wanna sync, wirelessly, or through the BES?
    If you wanna do it through the BES, you have to delete desktop cmime, desktop sync and desktop cical and resent those from the server to get wireless sync back.
    to get to servic book, go to settings/options/advanced options/service book and scroll to these service books and delete them, then from the bes manager, repush service books will resent them, this  can take up to 15 minutes though.
    If you wanna sync via the wire, just sync with the desktop manager, you should not be trying to do both
    If someone helped you give them kudos. Research all info!

  • How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
    I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
    when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
    does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
    i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
    someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
    for this].
    also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
    For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
    any quick answers greatly appreciate..
    thx,

    Hi,
    That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
    Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.

  • How do i use Desktop PC (Mini Hdmi or DVI) to imac27 as monitor

    How do i use Desktop Pc through imac27 as monitor? first of all i dont want to use bootcamp. cos it dont run high end game, this is a reason i want to use my pc .
    my Graphics Card use Dvi or mini Hdmi, so which kind of Adapter to use and want full Resolution.
    Thx.
    p.s sry english not my first.^^)

    First of all, what do you mean by plug in one set of speakers on your PC? if am not mistaken the card has 3 plugs for a default 5. surround sound. Yes your card can do 5. surround soud, but for that you need to have the 5. surround sound speakers, otherwise well it won't be 5. To get any audio from your TV, or Satelite Box, you need these items and ste
    ps.
    Make sure your TV or satelite box has 2 RCA's female plugs labeled (Output) to deli'ver the sound to another device *(from your Satelite or TV to the now dead 5. surround sound)? 2. Your computer must be on at ALL times to transmit (or play) the sound from your TV or satelite box. 3 you need a?Y?RCA to 3.5mm plug jack cable (they are at allMart or Bull'sEye stores for 2$. its a cable that has the 2 male RCA's 's white 's red at one end, the other end will have the classic headphone jack *(you can always use this cable to transmit any audio coming from any device such as MP3, CD, DVD, Laptop, TV, and many other devices to your 5. surround sound in the living room or the computer) 4. Plug the Y RCA in the input port in your Audigy2Zs sound card. Make sure the Mic, and AUX are on mute, and that the Line In volume is at 70% and your TV, Satelite Box audio is at 50%. If its too low volume watch out, you'll be controling about?4 volume settings *(the TV or Satelite Box, the Line-In, Master Volume on the sound card, and Speaker Volume) 5 Sit back and enjoy!

  • How to use remote desktop client in mountain lion

    How to use remote desktop client in mountain lion.
    I want to connect my other system(ubuntu) using mac remote desktop client, But i could not locate remote desktop client in moutain lion.

    In Ubuntu 12.xx use Dash to find "Desktop Sharing" and set the preferences, including requiring a password.
    Then in Ubu use System Settings > Network to determine your Ubu machine's IP address, such as 192.168.1.13.
    On the Mountain Lion Mac do Finder > Go > Connect to Server   and enter:  vnc://192.168.1.13  or whatever your IP is.  Enter the password that you used in the Ubu Desktop Sharing setup, when asked.
    On the Ubu machine answer the question that pops up asking for permission to connect.  Your Ubu screen will now show up on the Mac, and you can remote control it.   Here I am running "Octave" (a math program) on the Ubu machine, remotely.
    Works great!  BTW, you can do this from an iPad too, using a VNC client such as Mocha VNC Lite.  You can even run both remotes simultaneously.
    Good luck.

  • I'm not sure I know how to use numbers 09 after iworks has left. I emailed a copy from my ipad to my pc, saved it  but, it won't open on my pc desktop.  Also, how do I move an excell spread sheet now from my pc to my ipad?

    I'm not sure I know how to use numbers 09 now that iworks has departed. I emailed a copy from my ipad to my pc,saved it to my desktop but it won't open. Also, how do I now move an excel spreadsheet from my pc to my ipad?

    iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
    iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
    A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
    As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

  • How to use Xcelsius tool in Desktop applications

    Hello
    This is shankar, from IMS CRM4 team in SAP. We have a requirement for interactive anlalytics in our product and found that Xcelisus is the correct approach.
    Can you please clarify the following
    1. How to use the Xcelsius tool in desktop applications.
    2. Is Xcelsius Viewer free version available which can used only to view the interactive analytics. Xcelsius designer is not required for all the users.
    Thank You
    Shankar

    Hello Victor
    Thank you for your inputs !!
    Point 2 is very clear to me that we do not need any additional software to run the SWF files.
    We have CRM Mobile offline product with Crystal reports integrated already. CRM Mobile Offline solution is a desktop application and there is no intutive analytics.
    So i would like to know more on how to link the data (Excel or XML) to Xcelisus tool and get the output SWF file. Can it be done through the command line (without using Xcelsius designer) ??. Do we need to have any licensed version of Xcelisus for this task??
    This will promote both our prodcut and BOBJ Xcelisus prodcut as well
    Regards
    Shankar

    You'll need to have access to some sort of database account to use the tool. If you just loaded the tool onto a machine, Disco is not going to be useful - you need to create an end user layer, and business areas.

    The VoIP seems not MS product and can you clarify it? Basically, if it is third party product, you will need to ask for the API writer for details. For example, find a forum here:

    Hi,
    You canr use text modules in script. You have to use standard texts .
    Standard text are maintained in SO10 transaction.
    you can create translation text for other languages also . So based on logon language it will print translation text.
    go to SO10
    give textname it say Ztextname  id as ST and language as EN
    say create, then you will get editor there maintain your text and save it . then come back . Now change language (say for german DE) say create and eneter translation text and save it.
    so now you have created a text called ztextname which you can use in your script.
    Inorder to insert the texts in your script do as below
    go to any window editor and   select path
    Insert->texts->symbols->standard symbols
    then you will get popup  in which you have to mention all the parameters that you have created earlier.
    after inserting just change language EN to sy-langu

  • How to create Cross Tab using Desktop

    Hi Everyone,
    We use Sundard Banner (Universities) with Discoverer.
    I would like to create a Cross tab
    | Final Grade
    |_______________________________
    Course Title|
    |
    |
    Valid grade values are: HP - High Honors
    H - Honors
    P - Passed
    Suppose we had 3 students for class: Emergency Medicine
    George Washington - HP
    John Adams - HP
    Abraham Lincoln - H
    Would like query to look like this:
    | HP, | H | P
    |_________ |_____|_________________
    Emergency Medicine| 2 | 1
    |
    |
    Can this be done using Desktop, pls advise... thx, Sandra

    Hi Rod,
    Thx for your help.... I think I got it to work... Can I run the steps by you:
    a) create table query with: course title, final grade, count of final grade
    b) duplicated query as cross tab
    c) dragged course title to left
    d) noticed that Discoverer create a "field" - called data point for: count of final grade
    e) delete all vertical fields and just left count of final grade
    quests, please:
    ===========
    1) I tried a few times to create a cross tab before posting quest, and this is the first time that I see that
    Discoverer automatically created a field called datapoint for count of final grade. Do you have to follow
    a crosstab workflow carefully to the data point field to be created?
    2) what is definition of data point?
    3) Please confirm: The data point is located in the white space of the cross tab?
    4) Please confirm: When running the query, the values of final grades run across the top,
    including "blank" column for null value
    5) If (4), there is a column to tabulate rows with null values, why is the value 0, instead of an actual row count
    6) Under the various column values, is the name of the datapoint field running as a second heading row
    EH | H | HP
    Final_Grade Count | Final_Grade Count | Final_Grade Count | Final_Grade Count
    I will try to paste 3 screen shots below, using the "Plain text Help" box to the right of the screen
    thx again for your help. sandra
