Assigning Different Spaces to Multiple Displays

Hi,
I have my Mac connected to my TV (not mirroring) and I'm using Spaces.
I was wondering if it was possible to assign to each display, a different Space?
In other words, can I have my Mac screen displaying Space 1, and my TV displaying Space 3?
My problem is simple: I'm working on my Mac display, and I'm also watching a video on my TV. But I can't display the video in full-screen because then it takes up both screens.
Thanks for your help if you have any ideas.

Just to be clear, you CAN run an application and split its windows across different Spaces by dragging those windows in the Spaces view. So open Firefox in Space 1, open a second FF window in Space 1, then F8 and drag the second window into Space 2 and voila. It's somewhat random what happens when you click on the application icon in the dock when you do this, but it does work.
Good point about the background being very resource-intensive. Never mind.

Spaces with Multiple Displays

I have been using Spaces with my MacBook with an external display, without mirroring to extend my desktop. Overall, it works really well and has certainly made things less hectic when I have 1-8 windows open per application and up to 5 applications.
One thing I figured out by playing is that you can have windows from the same application in different spaces. For example, I have FireFox open with three windows, and can position one FF window in each of three spaces. The only way to do this that I have found is to drag the individual windows from the Spaces view (F8), but it's really useful for me to have web-pages organized by Space (personal, work, Google, etc.). By the way, if I shut down FF or restart the machine, the windows do not "remember" which Space they were in, which is not surprising to me. I assume that is a limitation of FF, not OS X.
Now here is the issue/problem I have experienced several times: Every so often, I will completely "lose" one or more windows. For example, I have two FF windows open in Space 4, then upon switching to another space and going back to Space 4, the windows are gone. They still show up in the list of FF windows (from the "Windows" menu in FF itself), so I think they are still open, but it's like they were assigned to Space 0 or something. There is no way to get to them or bring them back that I have found. There is also no good explanation for why this is occurring or any reproducible set of circumstances.
I can accept that I am pushing the envelope on Spaces using both multiple displays and splitting windows from one application across Spaces, so I am not expecting this to work flawlessly (yet). However, it sure would be useful to be able to recover from this when it occurs.
By the way, as a tip I have mapped my mouse button 3 (external mouse with a scroll wheel that has a button) to show Spaces, which has been very handy for me.
One last thing: Does anyone else think it would be cool to have Spaces act more like true individual Desktops? In other words, be able to set background image per Space and maybe even have different files on each Space/Desktop? Files would be more involved since Spaces are less permanent than a real Desktop, but background images seems like an easy thing to be able to code for.

Just to be clear, you CAN run an application and split its windows across different Spaces by dragging those windows in the Spaces view. So open Firefox in Space 1, open a second FF window in Space 1, then F8 and drag the second window into Space 2 and voila. It's somewhat random what happens when you click on the application icon in the dock when you do this, but it does work.

Using Spaces with Multiple Displays

I'm wondering if there is a way to setup Spaces to only show spaces for the main display in a duel monitor setup.
I have a 19inch monitor I use when I'm at work and I do not enable mirroring so that I can get a higher resolution on the 19inch monitor than what my aging ibook (1024x768) can put out. When I do this and activate spaces, each space shows both monitors....the larger 19inch and then off the corner of that, the smaller 14 inch of my ibook.
What I want is for when I'm hooked up to my 19inch display, for my laptop display to in essence not exist. This way when I activate spaces (currently set to 4) I just get 4 "19 inch" spaces instead of, what looks like, 8 spaces.
Any thoughts? Any scripts or terminal commands to make this happen?

I put off upgrading to Leopard almost exclusively because of this reason... I thought I'd be able to get over it for a couple weeks until 10.5.2 comes out, but tonight I'm pulling my hair out.
Have you found out anything new?

How to get ACS3.2 to assign different attributes for multiples NAS's

We are running ACS3.2 and have 3 different types of NAS for each group of users (two managed dial solutions and 1 home grown VPN concentrator solution).
The problem is that the two dialup NAS's require different RADIUS attributes for the IP address assignment: one NAS uses a named pool, the other NAS assigns the pool based on an IP entry in attribute 8 (framed IP address). Users mapped to one ACS group must be able to use both dial services.
Is it possible to configure ACS so that one type of attribute is used for one NAS and another type of attribute for the other for users belonging to the same group?
Thanks,
Matt

Hmm, I thought you might say that:(
I've done a bit of jiggery pokery and will be doing some testing tomorrow.
I'll post back to this forum to let you know how it goes.

How do I output different sounds on multiple displays?

For example, if I connect my Macbook Pro to my TV via HDMI and make it as a separate display, how do I change the sound output so that sound that comes from the external display will only play from the external display while sound from my MacBook Pro will only play on the MacBook Pro?

I'm not sure if the MBP can do sound over HDMI because I've never tried.
All the sound output settings are in System Preferences> Sound > output tab.
There is a list of all available outputs under that output tab. If the HDMI output shows up, select it and your MBP will change the output. If not, I'm not sure.
Hope this helps.

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

Different currencies for multiple line items in a AP invoice?

Hi, Expert,
Is it possible to assign different currencies for multiple line items in a AP invoice?
Eg:
One vendor is supplying raw materials from different regions, and we have to raise one invoice with different currency rate to each items
regards,
Sanju

Hi Sanju,
It is not possible to assign different currencies for multiple line items in a AP invoice.
Try to book the different documents(different correncies for a single vendor in a A/P Invoice).

Multiple Windows in Different Spaces

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a way to have multiple windows from the same program open in different spaces. For example, I'm working on my dissertation and I'd like to have my primary Word file open in one space and research Word files open in different spaces. Every time I try to move one Word window to a different space, they all move. I've just upgraded to 10.5 from 10.4 and I'm afraid I need a bit of hand-holding.
Is this do-able? How can I do it?
Much obliged!

Until now I never had the need to have multiple Word windows open in different spaces but your post made me interested and I went to try it myself. I tried Word, PowerPoint and Excel that came with my Office 2008 and encountered that strange behavior only with Word, so it's not an issue related to MS-software in general but Word-specific.
Furthermore in system preferences I tried to assign a fixed space for Word to open and that didn't work either. No matter which space I assign to it Word always opens in the active space, whatever that may be at that moment. Obviously Word can't handle spaces. To me it seems like a bug because the other Office-apps behave the way they are supposed to do. I don't see a workaround at the moment. This answer is quite unsatisfactory, I know, but I hope I could help you anyway by posting my experiences.

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.

How do I open multiple Safari pages in different Spaces?

My wife's MacBook Pro will open Safari in different Spaces by opening Safari, switching to a new space, then holding down a single click on the Safari sign located in the Dock. It pulls up several options including Open New Window. When I click on that, it will open another session of Safari, while retaining the session running on the other Space.
My new MacBook Pro will not do this. I have looked and cannot find any topic addressing this issue. Please help me with this, it is a more practical option for my work than just opening multiple tabs in the same space.

It slightly darkens the entire screen, shrinking my page some, and gives me three side by side options including, Quit, Hide, Options. The Options tab expands into three more options of Keep in Dock, Open at Login, Show in Finder. The first two of these tabs are checked.

Displaying different spaces in dual monitors

Hi, all.
I am using dual monitors in Mountain Lion. Can I display different spaces (desktop 1, desktop 2 or dashboard) in different monitors using mission control?
Thank you.

I am watching live broadcast or youtube in Safari in one window and browing the web in another window separatly. When I put the live broadcast or youtube in full screen (not the Safari full screen mode), I cannot browse the web in the other window beacuse I cannot locate my mouse.
Any suggestion for me to watch youtube in full screen in one monitor and browse the web in the other monitor using the same application?
Thank you.
I don't know how to achieve what you want exactly, but for this very same purpose I have used two browsers.
My usual browser is Safari, but I have successfully done what you describe by opening the broadcast with Chrome and navigating the web in Safari at the same time (I suppose Firefox would work just as well).

How can I better use multiple displays as if they were multiple computers?

In Mavericks I read online that multiple display support is the best it's ever been, but it's still very frustrating. Is there any way to get the "multi displays are different spaces" option to act more as it promises? Photoshop, for instance, refuses to let me move all of its control windows to my calibrated display, forcing me to go back and forth between my Eizo and internal monitors; one for its colors and the other for the tool pallates.
I want to use my MacBook display just for email and such, so I don't want to close the lid, but I wish it could be really segrigated. The experience I'm looking for is sort of like 2 computers with a shared keyboard and mouse. One dock per display is desprately needed. Can that be done?
Also allowing each display to have one applicatioin currently in front when multiple input devices are present would be greatly appreciated. I could then keep one keyboard and tablet in front of the Eizo and use the internal for use on the Macbook - if the OS could learn my setup it could really be the best of the benefits of having 2 computers and just one. Shared Clipboard and one Space colaborating seamlessly with another, while having the abillity to work entirely within one space and then move to the other while waiting for a command to finish executing, or to go back to the file system to open more work.
This is so close to perfect but it has a few really frustrating limitations. Any advice?
thank you

At least your query seems to get data where MODIFIED_BY IS NULL, doesn't it?
So if the reccount is>0 there is a reason to inform your employees.

Lightroom 5, Mavericks, multiple displays

I doubt, I am the only person with this "problem" but I haven't found any discussion about it yet.
I'm running LR 5 on a MBP and updated recently to Mavericks. LR5 seems to be working just fine, except for this flaw.
My setup:
MBP (secondary display) with Thunderbolt display (primary display). I assigned a "Space" for LR5 on my primary display.
My problem:
When turning the secondary monitor inside LR5 on, it appears on my secondary display (MBP), but when I switch to a different space (i.e. Photoshop CC), and switch back to LR5, the secondary monitor displays on my primary display (Thunderbolt), and can't be moved back to my secondary display (MBP). I tried turning it off and on to no avail.
The 2 work arounds I found so far, is to
a) don't assign a "Space" to LR5, or
b) turn "Displays have seperate spaces" in Mission Control off
neither option is satisfactory to me.
Has anybody noticed the same, and or found a different work around?

Is there a solution to this? It is driving me completely %#$$#@ insane. It's taking me ten times as long to edit photos because I keep having to screw around with my view settings -- and then search frantically online for a solution. ARGH. I don't have time to be reinstalling LR 4 right now either.
Holy god it's making me mental. I just almost broke my hands pounding on my keyboard.
Sometimes pressing shift + command + F (mac) helps but every single time I come back from PS I have the secondary monitor's display on my primary monitor and it takes different combinations of keyboard strokes/ sometimes taking reopening LR to get it where it needs to be.
I will try the Spaces solution above but this is madness.
Edit: I just turned off my secondary monitor. It's bizarre and I'm probably imagining things, but it seems to be getting worse. I installed MAvericks the first day it came out and I feel like this monitor issue only started happening in the last week or so. I must have changed something somewhere that made things worse but it is now impossible to use a second monitor--which stinks bc I'm used to using it as part of my workflow. Not great timing for my holiday deadlines.

A workaround to get open documents in different Spaces to the allocated PS space

A small workaround for Spaces CS5 Mac.
If you have CS5 documents spread over different Spaces due to clicking them in the finder and want to get them all back in to the allocated PS Space, here's a workaround.
You do need one doc open in the correct space I'm afraid for it to work. Create a new doc in there if you have to. I tend to leave one small doc open in the right Space all the time now.
Go to the allocated PS space. Select the menu option "Consolidate all to tabs" from the Window>Arrange menu.
This will bring all the open docs from their spaces to the correct space as tabs.
That might be enough for you but you can't drag adjustments layers and layers with alphas etc to another doc in Tab view, something I do all the time when I'm retouching 20-30 shots and I'm trying to match them.
Hard to do that with tab view obviously.
Next select "Float all in windows" and you'll have your docs viewable, side by side in the right space.
If you assign a key command to those options, it becomes a quick tap 1-2 and you're done.
As far as I can tell, if you want floating windows, and all your docs in the right place, and don't want to open your images from the PS open dialogue (who does when you have 6 windows of 50 images on your dual 30" monitor setup?) then this will do it.
It's not great for all things but it's better than "It's all Apple's fault"

there is certainly no built in way to do it. In fact Dock Spaces is the only program I've ever heard of that allows you to have different docks in different spaces. if it can't do it, it's impossible.

Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
Requirement:
Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
Preferred solution:
The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
Thanks everyone for your input...
Claus

HI CLause,
On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
FYI: Found a solution...
The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
Claus
See this thread:
Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
many thanks
