After booting only one workspace on my second monitor

I got a MAC PRO 5.1 with 2 screens connected.
Problem after rebooting yosemite, on my second screen only one workspace is left. All others are at the first screen.
I also can't tell applications to open at a specific screen. After reboot the screen information is lost.

In Mac OS X, if a screen disappears -- all the items on it are moved so that at least some part of each window is on another screen so that it is not "lost" on a screen that is off. This problem sounds similar. Perhaps for some reason, your Mac thinks a screen has disappeared, and your workspaces are moved.
If this is the case, I thought of some workarounds that may prevent that from happening:
1) If you do not already use a "regular" user account (as opposed to an Admin account), I suggest you create a new Admin account, log in to it, and use it to demote your daily-use account to a regular account. Then cancel auto-login and endure the login screen. [You will also have to enter the Admin username and password when installing new software, but your Mac will be slightly more secure that way.]
This moves the creation of your workspaces away from the Startup sequence, and may mean the screens are stable by the time you log in and your workspaces will not be changed.
2) reverse which screen is the primary screen, in hopes that it (and its workspaces) will be maintained instead of dropping out

  • How to boot only one group in remote machine from master machine

    Hi,
    I want to know the command to boot entire remote machine from master machine and how to boot only one group for remote machine from master machine.
    Thanks
    Amit

    You can boot the entire remote machine (after booting the Master machine) as follows:
    tmboot -B <lmid of remote machine> -l <lmid of remote machine>.
    For all the available tmboot options see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18050_01/tuxedo/docs11gr1/rfcm/rfcmd.html#wp1032112

  • Has anyone experienced the iphone 4s camera panorama failure where the panorama stops after taking  only one non panoramic shot? I think this happens when you switch direction of the panoramic arrow.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • P35 NEO-2 FR won't boot. One beep every few seconds.

    Hello, I hope someone can help me
    Out of the nothing my computer crashed. There was a blue screen, but only for a split second, so I couldn’t get any information from that. After I tried to turn it back on I only got a black screen.
    Messages from my PC:
    One beep every few seconds. -- Means: DRAM refresh failure.
    The LEDs on the board have the combination red-red-green-green. -- Means: Decompressing BIOS Image to RAM for fast booting.
    Obviously I tried another RAM module. But it didn’t help. I don’t know what I should do, because I can’t even get to the BIOS. The screen just stays black.
    PS: I didn’t OC or try to flash a new Bios version.
    My system:
    P35 NEO-2 FR, BIOS v. 1.8, S/N: 601-7345-100B0805092463
    Intel Q9300
    G.Skill 2 GB DDR2 PC2-6400 CL5-5-5-15 (also tried brand new Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 MHz CL5-5-5-18)
    MSI N460GTX Hawk
    beQuit Straight Power 600W

    Okay, please have a look at this document:
    http://www.ami.com/support/doc/AMIBIOS8_Checkpoint_and_Beep_Code_List_PUB.pdf
    As you can see, there are two main routines going on after you hit the power-on button:
    1. Bootblock Initialization
    __ and __
    2. POST Code
    Your problem description ...
    Quote
    The LEDs on the board have the combination red-red-green-green. -- Means: Decompressing BIOS Image to RAM for fast booting.
    ... indicates that your system halts in the first of the two main routines I just mentioned. To be more precise, it hangs at Bootblock Initialization Checkpoint D5, which is defined as follows:
    Quote
    Bootblock code is copied from ROM to lower system memory and control is given to it. BIOS now executes out of RAM. Copies compressed boot block code to memory in right segments. Copies BIOS from ROM to RAM for faster access. Performs main BIOS checksum and updates recovery status accordingly.
    In the last two phases of this checkpoint:
    Quote
    Copies BIOS from ROM to RAM for faster access. Performs main BIOS checksum and updates recovery status accordingly.
    The actual BIOS Code is copied into RAM and checked for integrity. When BIOS corruption is detected (=wrong BIOS checksum), the system will automatically jump into BIOS Recovery Mode (which is a sub-routine of the Bootblock Initialization routine).
    Now, this brings us to the actual meaning of the beep(s) you hear:
    Quote
    One beep every few seconds. -- Means: DRAM refresh failure.
    The BIOS Recovery mode (which is not part of the actual P.O.S.T. Routine, but a sub-routine of the Bootblick Intialization Routine) has its own set of Beep Code definitions which are described on page 15 of the document I linked you to:
    Quote
    Boot Block Beep Codes
    Number of Beeps -- Description
    1 -- No media present. (Insert diskette in floppy drive A:)
    2 -- ‘AMIBOOT.ROM’ file not found in root directory of diskette in A:
    3 -- Insert next diskette if multiple diskettes are used for recovery
    4 -- Flash Programming successful
    5 -- File read error
    7 -- No Flash EPROM detected
    10 -- Flash Erase error
    11 -- Flash Program error
    12 --‘AMIBOOT.ROM’ file size error
    13 -- BIOS ROM image mismatch (file layout does not match image present in flash device)
    Consequently, the meaning of that single beep, that repeats every few settings is not "DRAM refresh failure" (this would be its meaning in the P.O.S.T. Routine, but we are looking at the Recovery Routine), but it actually means:
    Quote
    1 -- No media present. (Insert diskette in floppy drive A:)
    What you have to do is this:
    1. Hook up an internal (!!) floppy drive to your mainboard
    2. Prepare an AMI BIOS Recovery disk:
    --> Download the latest BIOS Archive for your board from the product site
    --> Extract the actual BIOS File and rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM
    --> Copy the renamed BIOS File to an empty & formated floppy disk
    3. Put the disk that contains the AMIBOOT.ROM file into the internal floppy drive that you connected to the mainboard.
    4. Pray that the system finds the disk, reads the file on it and performs a recovery flash

  • Photosmart C7280 locks up after printing only one page

    Recently, my Photosmart C7280 has started locking up after printing only about one page of any document. The LCD display just says, "printing....", and the only way I've found to clear it is to unlug the printer from the mains. It happily prints multiple copies of single page documents, but the only way to print muli-page documents is to do them one page at a time.
    I have the same problem from both my desktop and laptop.

    Thank you for the suggestion. unfortunately, it did not help with this problem. I ran the utility and it indicated that there were no problems with the printer.
    it seems likely to me that this is some sort of memory or buffering problem within the printer itself. However, I can't find any options on the printer's menu to clear the buffer or internal memory. I have tried 'restore factory settings' but this made no difference.
    The problem appears to be getting worse - while printing multiple copies of a single page document today, the printer locked up after just 3 copies. I had to rpint 20 copies by printing 3 copies several times over.
    Thanks,
    Anne

  • After restart only one OWSM server agent is installed

    I have created two OWSM server agents. One for the home container, the other for a custom container. (SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 - Basic install)
    Whenever the Application Server is restarted, only the home container's server agent remains installed. I have to run wsmadmin.sh again to install the second agent before the custom container services are accessible again.
    Is there any way to avoid having to do this?

    Yes, there is a server agent for weblogic, see http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/web-services-manager/index.html to download it (see Third-Party Server Agents). The zip file also contains a pdf about the installation.

  • White screen after boot, only status bar visible

    A few days ago, I had a message on my HP Veer 4G that a restart was required. I'm assuming something had been updated. After the reboot, my phone booted to a white screen with only the status bar at the top being visible. I've tried the triple toggle and the Funtion+Sym+R methods of restarting the phone, but the same thing happens every time the phone reboots. At first the SIM had a PIN set, so the status bar just said SOS only - SIM Lock. I removed the PIN with another phone, then the status bar showed the phone had registered with the AT&T network, but still the rest of the screen was white, so I couldn't do anything with it.
    With the white screen, the gesture area would still respond to swipes back and forth across it, and the white screen would show response to wherever I would touch on the screen.
    I don't know what I did, but by pressing a bunch of keys as the phone was rebooting, I got the option to reboot or erase entire phone contents. I chose to erase the phone and finally got to set up the phone from scratch. Can anyone explain what just happened?
    Post relates to: HP Veer p160una (AT&T)

    Hello!
    This usually means some software on the phone went catastrophicly wrong thus the need of partial erase.  Could you send me a private message of your palm profile email address?  Have you installed anything to the phone outside our app catalog?  Keep me posted.

  • Conky in only one workspace in awesome

    Hello, just trying out awesome. I've got some rules defined in rc.lua to make some apps start with certain tags. I've managed to do this by using xprop, finding out WM_CLASS of the window and defining consequently the rule. However, I'm having problems with conky. No matter how I set own_window_type in .conkyrc [1], the conky window gets displayed on all tags/workspaces (still not sure what the correct terminlogy is in awesome). I've set the rc.lua rule such that it gets tagged with tag number 1, and in fact when I start it I see in the upper bar a little white square appear in the first tag (and only in that) - however the conky window is then present even in other tags.
    any hints? using awesome 3.4.10-1 and conky 1.8.1-3
    [1] I tried normal, desktop, dock, panel, override

  • Openbox in GNOME: Only one workspace

    I start gnome with exec gnome-session in my .xinitrc and the fusion-icon in autostart. This allows me to switch between compiz, metacity and openbox but switching to openbox only gives me a single workspace, despite having set 6 in rc.xml and having four in metacity/compiz. Any ideas as how to fix this?

    Thanks for the replies. I first tried relogging in but that didn't work, but I read that killing the panel works and it did. Strange that relogging in didn't have the same effect. Anyways, marking as solved.

  • After Security update 2011-005 I my second monitor is black.

    Hi Folks,
    After security update 2011-005, I colud not get my second display working. I tried safe boot, didn't help, tried different resolutions didn't help. Reboot did not help either.
    The second display is detected but it is black.
    I am currently on MacOs10.6.8 running on my MacBook Pro.
    Peace.

    Don't remove any screws to do an SMC reset:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Only one display resolution option for monitor

    I just installed a new SSD in my computer, and then installed SL onto the drive. I have an Asus monitor, and Display Preferences on the SL install on the older HD gave me a variety of screen resolutions to choose from. But on the SSD install I only have one option (1280x800). What do I need to do to get a wider range of resolution options (including one that will look right with this monitor)? Thanks.

    Which computer? What did you use to install Snow Leopard, a retail version or the disks from another machine?

  • After updating to 10.7.4, my second monitor lost its color profile, for Photoshop and Lightroom. I'm on a 2011 MBP with the AMD video chip

    Has anyone else had this happen? Is Apple aware - how can I inform them of my issue - do I have to wait months and months till 10.7.5 comes out, for a solution?
    Thanks,

    I have had the issue with a Snow Leopard but never with Lion.
    Can you go to System Preferences>Displays>Color and select your profile.
    I had made 3 profiles and they are all still there and my iMac is still using the same one I previously selected

  • Frame rate = One picture in 5 seconds?

    Hi, I am capturing video from a web cam in rgb. I want to send only one picture in five seconds across the network (Frame Rate = 0,2). This does not seem to work. My code:
              Object frameRate = processor.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameRateControl");
              if(frameRate != null)
    Logger.getInstanceOf().writeLog(Constants.LOG_INFO, this.getClass(), "createProcessor()", "Current frame rate is: " + String.valueOf(((FrameRateControl) frameRate).getFrameRate()) + " frames per second ...");
              FrameRateControl frc = (FrameRateControl) frameRate;
              frc.setFrameRate(0.2f);
    Logger.getInstanceOf().writeLog(Constants.LOG_INFO, this.getClass(), "createProcessor()", "New frame rate is: " + String.valueOf(((FrameRateControl) frameRate).getFrameRate())+ " frames per second ...");
    It seems as if I can only reduce the Frame Rate to 5. I am using a H263 video format. Does anybody know how to further reduce the frame rate?
    Regards, Nik

    Hi, I found the answer myself.
    When you capture with RGB in Frame Rate 15 and 320x240 Dimensions and you want to transmit using H263, you can only reduce the Frame Rate to 5 FPS. I do this using the code above on a realized player. When you want to further reduce the frame rate you need to create a second processor taking the H263 Stream with 5 FPS as input. Using the code above on the second realized processor enables you to further reduce the Frame Rate.
    This worked for me.
    I also used the following code WITH NO SUCCESS:
         Format checkForVideoSizes(Format original, Format supported) {
              int width, height;
              Dimension size = ((VideoFormat) original).getSize();
              Format jpegFmt = new Format(VideoFormat.JPEG_RTP);
              Format h263Fmt = new Format(VideoFormat.H263_RTP);
              return (new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.H263_RTP, new Dimension(width, height),
                        Format.NOT_SPECIFIED, null, Format.NOT_SPECIFIED))
                        .intersects(supported);
    Anyway ... the problem is solved.

  • Hiding of arrow in JComboBox, only one selection possible

    I have a program that I am hitting a database, retrieving data. I have two JComboBoxes. The second box, changes when there is an event associated with the first.
    My question is, if there is only one element in the second box, how do I disable the down arrow so that the user can immediately know that the item shown, is the only one that can be selected???
    Thanks.

    Jut call setEnabled(false) and the user will not be able to change the selection. If you want to really 'hide' the arrow, that is a little more complex; it will require modification of the UI delegate.
