10.5.3 assigning apps to Spaces issue

Also started this thread over at MacRumors, but wanted to check here as well:
Can anyone else test this. Since 10.5.3, I'm having 2 issues with Spaces.
*1) Whenever I open up the Spaces preferences, I see the following in the Console:*
Jun 1 15:48:11 System Preferences[13262]: err = 0, url = file://localhost/Applications/LiveType.app/
Jun 1 15:48:11 System Preferences[13262]: err = 0, url = file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Photoshop%20CS3/Adobe%20Photoshop%20CS3.ap p/

Jun 1 15:48:11 System Preferences[13262]: err = 0, url = file://localhost/Applications/iChat.app/
Jun 1 15:48:11 System Preferences[13262]: err = 0, url = file://localhost/Applications/iMovie.app/
Jun 1 15:48:44 System Preferences[13262]: err = 0, url = file://localhost/Applications/Safari.app/
*2. When in the Spaces preferences, you used to be able to click on an application in the list and DRAG it to the space you want to assign it to.* For example:
a. Open Spaces preferences
b. Click on the + (plus) button to add an application to the Application Assignments list, let's say Address Book
c. Once the Application is in the list, click and drag it to the space to assign it to, say, Space 3.
d. The application SHOULD now be assigned to that space.
Since 10.5.3, I'm not able to drag any application to the space to assign it. It doesn't change the space assignment. I can still select the space in the dropdown.
Can anyone else confirm either of these (either the Warnings in the console or the behavior I'm seeing)? Neither my Mac Pro or MacBook work correctly.

I cannot replicate your problems, so I would assume either you upgraded over an already dysfucntional system or your update was corrupted in some way.
To start I would suggest you download the 10.5.3 Combo Updater and reinstall it after you do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If this does not resolve the problem, then you will need to reinstall OS X. Assuming the disk is OK you can do that as follows (you will need about 10 GBs of free space or more:)
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Assign apps to Spaces (as previously with spaces)

Hello there,
With Spaces I was able to assign application to specific spaces, now with Lion I can't seem to save the state, where applications should open.
For example I like to have iTunes on Desktop 2, so that I have a clean desktop for work on Desktop 1, as soon as I restar tthe computer iTunes and everything that was previously opens on different Desktops (spaces), opens on desktop 1 and I have to sort everything again. I miss that feature to assign applications to specific spaces. Does anyone know a way to do this in Lion, or a tool to download?
Thanks very much for your input,
Joe

I did not do a clean install; ML was installed over Snow Leopard.
I have found that the only way application assignments to specific Spaces will "stick" is if you check the box that says "Reopen windows when logging back in" at Restart. Even then, getting assignments made can be a process of fiddling, with restarts necessary at times before you can assign them. It is much harder than in Snow Leopard, and of more limited use (since you have to allow your system to reopen applications upon restart and not quit applications before shutting down).
I participated in another thread on this subject, where I gave a few more details.

Why can't I assign applications to spaces anymore?

I used to have my different apps (Mail, iTunes, Safari) open in separate spaces and the SAME space every time. I did this by right clicking on the open app icon in the dock and selecting options > Assign to > This desktop. This no longer works. Now applications ALWAYS open in the first space. When I right click on the icon now there is NO OPTION to assign where the app opens. The ONLY application I still have this option for is safari. For all the others it has disappeared. For example now when I right click on the mail icon the only options I have are: Keep in Dock, Open at Login, Show in Finder. There used to be the option to assign Mail to the current desktop, all desktops or none. That option has now disappeared. The same goes for iTunes and other apps.
Please note that I was well aware of how to assign apps to desktops before. Since 10.8.4 that option has now disappeared from my interface. Mission control offers no way to assign apps to spaces either. What happened?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Query on using Spaces feature to assign applications to spaces

I like the new Spaces feature, having been a user of VirtueDesktops before.
I have an issue with assigning an application to a particular Space.
The instructions from Help are below. I was able to do this for 4 applications, which seems to be as many as fit into the window available for listing them. Then, I hit the "+" to add other applications that are already running. When the pop-up menu appears, it does not list those applications (it does list Finder and the System Preferences that is running). So I go ahead and pick the application off the list from my Applications/ directory. It doesn't then appear in the list of applications in Spaces so that I can assign it to a particular space.
I assume that there isn't a limit to the number of applications I can assign in this way. Or is there a limit of 4.
In addition, when I use the Help feature on the Spaces assignment preferences panel, this text appears:
"To choose a space for the application, click the current space and choose from the pop-up menu."
However, it is not clear what "click the current space" means. One of the little numbered box images for the spaces that I have? Nothing happens when I click them.
Thanks for help.
(Optional) To assign an application to a particular space, click the Add button and choose the application.
■
If you want the application to always open in a particular space, click the pop-up menu and choose the number for the space you want.
■
If you want an application to always be available, no matter which space you’re in, open the pop-up menu and choose Every Space.

You cannot add the same application you already assigned to a Space.
When you click the + sign, the pop-up menu shows the running applications which have not been assigned to a Space. If an application has been assigned to a Space, it will not be shown in that menu because the System Preferences/Expose/Spaces preference pane is used only for assigning applications to Spaces. If it is already assigned, there is no need to show it because it cannot be assigned to another Space. In that menu if you select “other” it will open your Applications folder, but any apps that have been assigned (and others that are not applications) will be grayed out. Perhaps what you are trying to do is assign the same application to two different Spaces. This cannot be done with the virtual desktop in Leopard, Spaces.
You said you had experience with other virtual desktops. Those often let the user assign an application to two or three or more desktops. Spaces does not allow that. An application can be assigned to one Space or all Spaces, but not anything in between.
I have interacted with other users who have experience using other virtual desktops and see this as flaw in Spaces. Perhaps it is. I have not worked with other virtual desktops. But this is how Spaces operates as a virtual desktop: an application can be assigned to one Space or all Spaces, but not 2, 3, 4 or any other number.
If you see this as a big drawback with Spaces, you should notify Apple. I don’t remember the website for reporting bugs and suggestions, but you should be able to find it on these forums.
If you are trying to navigate to the application running in Space 5, hold down the Control key and press the number 5 key. If you want to move the application in Space 5 to an adjacent Space, grab a window of the application in Space 5 and drag it to the any of the four edges of that window and it will switch to that Space. However, if you quit that application and open it again, it will open in its assigned Space, Space 5.

Regarding space issue

There is an space issue in datatop.Could you please help me out in deleting any logs and unnecessary data in that location.As the mount which own datatop is completely filled.

Hi,
Do you have any archivelog files on this disk? If so, consider moving/deleting obsolete files. For datafiles/tablespaces, if it is possible to shrink it, please do so. Otherwise, you need to move it to some other disk.
Also, if AUTOEXTEND is enabled, you need to disable it (at least for now) until you have more space on this disk.
You may also refer to the following document, it should be helpful.

Spaces Issues

I was reading through the posts tonight looking for a hopeful solution to my answer, but it's not happening! I use spaces ALL the time. Yes, I have the Microsoft word annoyance, but I've learned that when you have all spaces on the screen at the same time, you can drag from one space to another. Took a long time to learn that one! Anyway, tonight I was using itunes and spaces stopped working. I have mine set up that when I hit the center button on my mouse, all the windows appear on the screen. Using itunes however, it wasn't happening. I'm not sure if it's an itunes or spaces issue, but since I opened itunes, my center button to activate spaces no longer works, but the key commands do. I need it to work with my mouse again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Oh, by the way. I have since quit itunes and the center button to activate spaces still does not work!

It is the one thing in Leopard that is going to cause me to lose my mind. I tried Spaces but really do not find that it is helpful to me. Thus, I turned it off. Now when I work in with multiple apps (let's say Mail and Firefox) an app window - let's say Mail - will suddenly disappear and no amount of clicking or restarting the app will bring it back The only thing I can do is turn Spaces back on and - VOILA- the Mail window re-appears. This is incredibly annoying. It is forcing me to keep Spaces on even though I hate it.

HP Stream 13 - Disk Space Issue

I've had this laptop for about 2 months now. I just decided I wanted to take advantage of the one year subscription of Office 365. However, every time I try to download it it says that the disk is full. I don't have ANY files on this laptop nor do I have that many apps. I do have skype, itunes, and a few other things downloaded but that is about it. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do considering I already don't have much on here. I'm not even able to view pictures on my Dropbox because of the space issue or even use skype at times because "the disk is full".

Hi @Michelle_le,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
You stated you have the Stream 13 notebook but did not provide the exact model.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I understand that when you tried to advantage of the one year subscription to Office 365 you received the message that the disk was full.
If you openThis PC how much free space is showing on the drive?
When you are trying to download the software where is it saving the file?
If this has not helped, as it is only 2 months old, I suggest contacting HP support for assistance. They can remotely access your system to help determine and overcome difficulties.

TS1702 Once purchased, can I delete apps (for space), but then later re-download later at no charge, because I already paid?

Once an app is purchased and downloaded, can it be deleted because of a space issue, but then re-downloaded at a later time at no extra charge? In other words, once you purchase an app, can you delete and re-load at any time on your iPad without having to pay again?

Yes.
One more thing to consider is that occasionally apps are removed from the App Store for whatever reason. You can connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with and "Transfer Purchases" from your iPad to the computer. That way each app will be backed up on the computer should you want to retrieve it.

Assigned Apps not appearing in Company Portal on iOS

Hi
Before I log this with Intune support, has anyone had the issue where assigned apps are NOT showing up in the Company Portal on iOS devices? Version 2.0.3 of the portal, iOS 8.1.3.
Re-sync makes no difference.
If I change them to required install, I get prompted to install and it works - this is not my preferred scenario as I want user choice to install.
Cheers
Ian

Hi - i'm referring too applications published through the InTune Software Publisher that are made available using 'Available Install'. These are Store apps for MS Office.
So under Manage Deployment , I select All Users as the deployment target, and make the app 'Available Install' not 'Required Install'
Where is this made available, I cant see the apps in the Company Portal available apps.
If I change them to required install, I get prompted to install and it works - this is not my preferred
scenario as I want user choice to install.

Assigning a literal space to a report cell

Hi
I want a report column cell to be assigned a specific background colour depending on the value of another column. I can get conditional formatting to work fine by conditionally setting background and foreground colour in the SELECT statement, but what I really want is to use a dummy column as a means to conditionally display a 'bar' of colour as a red / amber / green indicator for the row.
I believe that I have to assign a literal space ( ) to the column to do this, but don't know how to do this in SQL via an UPDATE. Any help or ideas appreciated.
Jules

UPDATE your_table
SET your_column = ' ';If your column in your table is a VARCHAR column a value of space will be converted to NULL in an update statement. NULL will be stored in the database. This will not help you.
Could you set your_column in the database table to any value and set the foreground column color to match the background color in the report region? Then you should not see the value on the screen, right?

Define Number Assignment for Goods Receipt/Issue Slips

Hi Experts,
please can you help in the creation of manual creation of transport request for the customizing activity "Define Number Assignment for Goods Receipt/Issue Slips": settings for assigning goods receipt/issue slip numbers upon goods movements (MM) or deliveries (LE-SHP)?
Customizing for this functionality is composed by the following points:
1. functionality activation at plant level
2. number range group/interval code assignment
3. Groups and intervals creation
4. Plant / Storage Location / Movement type combination assignment to number range group.
Customizing request is automatically created for points 1, 2, 4, but NOT for point 3 where you have to create Groups, Intervas and assing each others.
You receive a message from SAP that you have to insert the relevant object manually into transport request.
Please can you tell me exactly what I have to put into transport request as object:
- Program ID (I think R3TR)
- Object Type
- Object name
and any other relevant information with all the details.
Thank you very much
Kind Regards
Andrea.

Hi
You need to create the transport request by selecting the required number & clicking on the trnsaport icon, then a prompt for transport request will be displayed, there you can create the request & move it to production.
Reward points if usefu;
Thanks & Rgards

I want to create an iPad app with multiple issues of the same magazine inside it

I want to create a digital magazine for iPad. I know with Digital Publishing Suite I can create apps for iPad.
But there is a problem. Is not clear in the website if with the Single Edition I can create an app that contains all issues of the magazine, or if I have to create a new app for each issue of the magazine that I want to publish.
Could you please get me out of doubt?
Please, I need a quick answer. Thanks in advance!

HTML emails render as plain text. Restarting Mail.app resolves the issue

I keep seeing this problem every day. Occasionally when I receive an HTML email (e.g. a newsletter), the HTML isn't rendered -- instead some sort of plain text equivalent is displayed, which is full of entity codes and URLs to all the images in the HTML. Clearly not right.
If I restart Mail.app when this occurs, the HTML email is ALWAYS rendered correctly. It's really annoying having to do this every day!
It seems like it could be to do with leaving Mail.app running when my Mac is in Sleep mode -- the issue always seems to occur when I wake the Mac. When I have restarted Mail.app after the issue occurs, all incoming HTML emails are rendered correctly.
Has anyone else seen this issue and do you know of a workaround? How do I submit a bug to Apple?
Cheers,
Olly

Hi again:
The preference file is located in the home folder (~library>preferences). Occasionally (rare, but it happens) preference files become corrupted and then cause all sorts of odd behavior.

Preview app and Spaces not working

I use Spaces with a 2 row 3 column grid, for a total of 6 spaces. I assigned Preview to Space 4 - the lower left space. Every time I double click to open a screenshot png that resides on my desktop, Spaces moves to Space 6, while opening Preview in Space 4. This leaves me in 6 and then having to switch to 4 to view the png.
What's up with this strange behavior? Does it have anything to do with Finder being assigned to 6?

hi
i too have been having a problem with Preview in Spaces since the last 2 updated.
when i launch Preview (by double-clicking on a picture/photo), the program opens, its toolbar appears at the top of my screen, and the photo actually opens in the right Space (# 5). however, my screen remains in whatever Space i was in.
i have to manually go to Space 5 (set for Preview) for the photo to actually show up on screen. it won't switch over automatically, as all my other programs do.
i am clueless as to what to do about this. i already delete Preview from Spaces and reinserted it again.
argh...
