App mirroring on different desktops

Hi there,
I was just wondering if there is any way on a macbook air to prevent apps mirroring on different desktops?
thanks

that depends if by desktops you mean monitors, or the work spaces inside of Yosemite... if you are talking about monitors you should be able to go to settings displays and uncheck the box labeled displayed mirroring.. if this is not what you are referring to then i will need a little more information before i can adequately help you...

  • No virtual desktops in Win10 (please fix)?: Dangerous game promoting app switching on different displays as virtual desktops

    Seems virtual desktops are overpromoted - and in fact not about virtual desktops (changing content on the desktops). The socalled virtual desktops are right now
    no more than app switching on different displays.
    Dangerous game again from Microsoft promoting things as something they are not.
    Virtual desktops are already a well-defined concept - and people will expect the desktop to be able to change content (be dynamic) ... the data and launching programs for documents, different backgrounds.
    ... but as others may already have stated in other threads: (Right now) Windows 10 does not contain virtual desktops/displays/screens. Not at all.
    A skeptical hypothesis - hopefully it is not so, and we will be able to work with data in a valuable way. The data is on the desktop anyway today - so why not make it real virtual desktops? I simply do not understand the decision.
    So here comes the skeptical hypothesis - it's not a Steve thing. It's Microsoft still looking for that next revamped business model to finance their future.
    So the freak kind of virtual desktops (virtual desktops in Win10 a lie?) will disappoint - have already begun to do so - and seems Microsoft is just taken up with inserting an additional intermediary step towards relaunching the appstore and hiding
    all the user data in cloud again. Really, hiding the difference between data availability - not making the cloud something MORE but making the local system something LESS. The NEXT BIG thing? So we're going to loose file system, folders and the general ability
    to form concepts of our own - and get a freak system? The NEXT BIG thing - data integration? Because data was hidden away now. Also in local systems. Artificially creating new problems - rather than solving new interesting ones?
    We need to able to pin the data onto the display whether desktop, start screen, what ever. It's also on the feature requests. Desktops/Start Screen/Original displays for workflows/whatever actual starting points on login ... needs to have
    more links than application from appstores and application containers linked to them.
    If any more app (read: not cloud, data) but appstore, appstore, appstore
    application containers hiding the data away comes into the UI I am going with Linux. I am that close ...

    A better name would be Virtual Display Layouts ... Virtual Screens ... Virtual Start Screens (please let us be able to pin files/folders to the Start Screen, a requested voted for feature for Windows 10).
    You see, go back and read the topics for Windows 8 ... you will learn the Start Screen is/was the new desktop - and should have been made virtual.
    So please get your act together and stop confusing everything ... and make on coherent system. Drop the Start Screen - and go with the virtual desktop
    (put the Start Screen technology into the virtual desktop - and let users pin folders and files there as requested ... both local and in the cloud)

  • Is there a way to set up multiple displays to show different DeskTops and/or multiple Full-Screen apps independently?

    Hello Apple users/ develpers.....
    I have been thinking about this long and hard and it seems like there should be some way to display separate Full-Screen Apps and/or mulitple Desktops.
    This would be a key feature that would make Lion surprisingly more efficient than any of its predicessors.  However, I have gone into System Preferences>Displays and could find no way to page through and get different desktops to display.  I always could extend the desktop, but why do that when I can simply use multiple Desktops and assign them to specific displays.
    (For example While on the MacBook Pro I could be doing a project in FinalCut while External Display 1 could be displaying iTunes and Display number 2 could be displaying MS Word.  And between each I can switch between each app without changing the monitor display.)
    I could also seeing this being extremely helpful in DJ and/or PowerPoint presentations.  In a PowerPoint presentation I could use the projector/display to show the individual Slides, while on the computer/laptop I could control other materials.
    Or in a DJ situation, I could be controlling iTunes from the computer, displaying a set of animations that I created in Flash/ToonBoom or another animation program, while still being able to work off of an independent display to do my homework or major project.
    The whole purpose of multiple displays would be to have multiple access to each of those.  And so if there's another APP I need to control them, or if there is a setup command I don't know about, I'd like to know right away.
    Also, if Apple hasn't really implimented this (and their OS is designed to have these features) then I guess this'd be my first recomendation to them as something that they need to fix.  This alone could be the key to crippling PC.  Don't let Windows 8 have a back door!

    Not available, why not suggest it here.

  • Using External Display WITHOUT mirroring or extended desktop

    I asked this question about a month ago and it seems to have been deleted for some reason.
    I have a broken screen on my Intel iMac G5 for reasons I don't wanna get into here, but trust me, it's not covered under the warranty. I have a great Sony LCD HD Monitor plugged in by VGA and mirroring displays. I have noticed that the computer is a LOT slower since connecting the alternate display, and I think it's because processing the smae information on both displays at once is using up too much system resources. I DON'T want an extended desktop either, since the iMac screen is broken.
    Is there a way to turn off the iMac screen completely and ONLY use the external monitor WITHOUT mirroring or extended desktop?
    If not, how can I improve my machine's performance while mirroring displays? Is more RAM the answer?

    Hello howoriginal
    Let me see
    1) OK sounds like the Sony is working for you in mirroring.
    2) Which iMac do you have Intel or G-5? (Intel's are not G-5s)
    3) Don't think you'll be able to turn off the iMac display. (you know I want to ask)
    4) Mirroring should not realy affect your performance. Keeping everything "gathered" up to Sony display might help you from misplacing windows and folders.
    5) If it's an early Intel Core Duo with 512MB then "yes" more ram to 1, 1.5 or 2GB will boost your performance.
    6) Other thing to help performance are OnyX maintenance and quitting App's from menu, not just closing App's with red button that you are not using.
    That's all I have for now!

  • Open app in current space/desktop option missing

    After upgrading to Yosemite I now no longer have the option from the task bar -> app -> options -> This Desktop or Desktop on Display [#].  It looks like this option is SUPPOSED to still be available on Yosemite: OS X Yosemite: Work in multiple spaces
    Every time I restart my spaces are all moved around and some, not all, of my apps open in different spaces. 
    I'd like to get organized again.  Am I missing something?

  • How can I open multiple instances of the same folder and web browser in different desktops in Lion?

    I've selected "none" for association but it doesn't work. In other words, I have a Dropbox folder on my desktop. I'd like to be able to open that same folder using the same shortcut on different Lion desktops. However, whenever I try to use the same shortcut on a different desktop, it switches to the one where it's already open. Same problem with web browsers; if I try to just click on a web browser to create a new window, it will take me back to the other desktop.
    I didn't have this problem before I had to replace my hard drive and update everything again. I am aware of the "restart Finder" option as well as associating programs with individual desktops. All of the things in question are currently selected as "none."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I just set Safari's option to None. That is I right clicked on the dock, selected options, and chose none. Also, in Mission Control's tab of System Preferences I clicked Off When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for that application. That let me open a new Safari window no matter what desktop I was in. But I had to do both. Just setting the desktop option to none didn't seem to do it. Finder seems to work okay with just the none option set.

  • I had apps from 2 different apple ids.  When I synched my ipod touch with my computer, I lost apps from other id.  It backed them up to my computer.  How do I access those apps and put them back on ipod touch?

    I had apps from 2 different apple ids on my son's ipod touch.  When I synched it to my computer, it backed the apps from other id onto my computer and deleted them from the ipod.  How do I find the apps and how do I put them back on the ipod touch?

    Apps can be re-downloaded, and you won't be charged again for a purchsased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
    All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. Apps cannot be transferred to or combined with another iTunes account.

  • HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different one to purchase iTunes music

    Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different Apple ID to purchase music off iTunes on the same computer?

    Short answer, yes.
    Long answer, it can make things more complicated, especially if you start adding iOS devices to the mix.

  • My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. The second is that my battery died, and despite being able to charge it, it is unable to restart back up.

    My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. After using my computer to install something onto my iPod 5, it somehow disconnected. When i restarted the iPod, some apps (Safari, FaceTime, Game Center, App Store, iTunes Store, Camera, and some others disappeared. Apps like Flashlight and Jetpack Joyride which I had previousyl downloaded from the App Store were still there. I wanted to get the aforementioned apps back, so i decided to back-up my iPod to iTunes. The downloaded apps weren't able to be backed up ("authentication problems") but some apps like Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, Stocks, Settings, Voice Memos, were backed up. I then proceeded to factory reset the iPod, deleting everything and starting it as a new iPod. Once I finished this, I looked my desktop to see everything was gone, absolutely everything. I double-pressed the home button, showing Settings was open, but that's it. I opened settings and factory reset it again, this time choosing to restore from a backup. After doing this, I found the iPod looked the same as the last time i reset it - blank. If I scroll down the middle of the screen to bring up a search bar, I can find only the apps I backed up (Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, etc.) That is the first MAJOR problem. I was getting really frustrated, so I opened up iBooks and discovered I can download a could free books from the store, which was essentially the only thing I can use the iPod for. There were no videos in the Video app, and pressing the "Go to Store" button did absolutely nothing. No lag, it just ignored my touch. Once i found a few books, I decided to start reading. Eventually, i brought this iPod somewhere to read it, and didn't bring the charger with me. The battery died, and when i got home, tried charging it.
    Which brings me to the second problem. A minute or so after I plugged in the charger into the dead iPod, the Apple logo came on. But the iPod never started up. The logo stayed there, getting dimmer after a minute, but no vanishing even after fully charging or pulling out the charging cord. It didn't leave even after hours, but by then the battery died again. If i press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time, the Apple logo disappears. But I can't get into recovery mode utilizing the volume buttons. If i hold the power button when the screen is blank, the Apple logo comes back. But the iPod cannot start up.
    After everything was wiped, i was pretty angry. But I still had books to read, even if i couldn't do much else. Then the battery died, and it really wrecked me up. I feel so mad right now, although this actually happened about 4 days ago. The iPod being wiped happened about 3 days after the Christmas holidays began. This iPod also was not brand new, I bought it off a friend who had it for over a year, although it was in perfect condition (Obviously out of warranty.) I desperately need a solution to this HUGE problem. Due to personal reasons, I can't go to a Genius Bar or go to an Apple retailer in person, but communicating by E-mail is an option, as is instant messaging.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

  • Copying page from one app to another: Different themes

    All the threads on this forum for steps to copy a page from one app to another refer to Raj's instructions at Synonyms
    What if the 2 apps involved have different themes? When I do the final step (f) in his procedure, that page will have Theme X and the rest of the pages will have Theme Y. How is this handled?
    Will the new page just use the templates it needs from whatever theme the app it is imported into happens to be using? Or would it bring along the templates it uses from the old application?
    Thanks

    Raj's technique predates themes and has no connection with themes. A page has one numeric attribute that references a page template or is null.
    Raj's technique never handled the case where the referenced page template didn't exist in the target application.
    It's your job (see the caveat in that threat) to ensure that you don't reference non-existent shared components from the page being copied.
    What if you do anyway? That isn't part of the solution that was presented but the answer is you have to repair the damage.
    What you are saying, in effect, is that that technique for copying pages across apps really works best only if the 2 apps involved have the same theme, right?There are at least four cases: 1) the page template attribute is null so it will use the app's default page template which I believe is adjusted when you switch themes; 2) the page template attribute is not null and locates an existing page template which is a template in the current theme. In this case everything should work correctly; 3) the page template attribute is not null and locates an existing page template which is not a template in the current theme. In this case the referenced page template will be used at runtime, but the theme reports and/or switch theme functionality may not work as expected with respect to that page; 4) the page template attribute does not locate an existing template. I don't know what the result is in this case.
    I also don't know if the template a page uses is considered to be part of a given theme based on the template's name or numeric ID.

  • How can I move an application window to a different desktop space?

    Spaces is cool, very cool and useful. I'm glad they took the hint from KDE desktop in Linux and made it work unlike the clumsy goober that M'soft tried to do. But here's the thing- in Linux you can move an application to a different desktop space. I guess that's coming in a later update- nobody thought you'd wanna move something to another space!

    Unfortunately, I've run into several non-Apple programs, including Adobe Photoshop CS3 that do not show up in the Spaces grid view. If you can't see the windows in the grid you can't move the application.
