Can't assign apps to specific desktops

Since Mavericks, when I right click a dock icon, I no longer have the option to assign the app to a specific desktop. I have to choose 'desktop on display x' or all or none.
This was incredibly useful before, and I can't understand why they would replace this functionality instead of extending it.
Anybody else as annoyed as I am?

Sorry @n1c4shby, I've hijacked your post (but I think I understand what you're getting at...)
I know what you're saying @robdrage, and having separate spaces on each display is the way to go and I'm not for going backwards, but the issue is:
that sometimes the Dock option will allow me to assign an application to - say - Desktop 4 on Display 2, then sometimes the best it will offer me is Desktop on Display 2.
This behaviour seems arbitrary, and also seems to change with each restart.
Maybe I'm missing a trick here.

    Regs..

    Hi Reddy,
    You can maintain taxes based on sales area based on ur customer master data.
    u maintain ur tax clasification on cust. master whether it is tax exemption or taxble.
    say an example MWST output tax select condition information then u get field combination cuntry and tax classification of customer.
    based on this u can maintain tax condition records.

  • I miss "Spaces" So... how can I keep my aps assigned to a specific desktop?

    With "Spaces" on my 10.6 iMac I have each ap delegated to a space/desktop.
    For example, I use four desktops.  Desktop 1 is "Mail" and "Stickies" Desktop 2 is productivity
    Desktop 3 is "Safari" and 4 is "iLife" and utilites. 
    With 10.7 I've yet to find a way to assign an ap to a specific desktop.  10.7 just keeps my most recent stuff on desktop 1.
    But, if I'm reading mail, opening a spreadsheet that was emailed, looking a web link that was mailed and all that
    stays on desktop 1... it's a mess.  As such, I'm constantly moving stuff to a different desktop.
    Is there any way to make sure an ap opens on a specified desktop to avoid the clutter?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    I used the method described in this article.
    Its not a 100% fix, more of a "workaround" because Apple doesn't support Spaces' assign-to-desktop function anymore.

  • No option to assign app to desktop

    On my iMac some of my apps do not have the option to assign them to specific desktops. Yet on my MBA those same apps do. So I figure I've got an option messed up somewhere but no idea where. Anyone got an idea?
    Thank you.

    I'm not sure, but I think there may be a very low limit on the number of apps that can be assigned to specific desktops. AppleCare thought it might be corruption of the Dock PList and had me delete it. But the problem keeps coming back and it seems to be after I've assigned a number of apps to specific desktops I am unable to assign any more. Not sure that is the case, but that seems to be how it appears at the moment.

  • What apps are assigned to a given Desktop

    How can I find out what apps are assigned to a specific Desktop in Mission Control?

    It's kind of a pain, but you can do it from the Terminal.  Do "defaults read com.apple.spaces".  This will get you a list of what apps are bound to what desktop UUIDs.  It will also give you a list of UUIDs.  It's up to you to match them. 
    Here's an example.  I have six desktops set up. Each desktop other than Desktop 1 has an entry in the "spaces" array showing its UUID.  Desktop 1 doesn't an entry, or a UUID.  Now look at the "app-bindings".  AdiumX is on all spaces. The values for Mail and Thunderbird are blank; they're both assigned to Desktop 1.  For the others you need to match UUIDs, keeping in mind that the first element of the array is Desktop 2.  Firefox's UUID matches the first space's UUID, so it's assigned to Desktop 2.  iCal's UUID matches the last space's UUID, so it's assigned to Desktop 6.
    Aren't you glad that OSX makes everything so easy?
    macduff:~$ defaults read com.apple.spaces
        "app-bindings" =     {
            "com.adiumx.adiumx" = AllSpaces;
            "com.apple.ical" = "FEC779CF-A27B-4A63-8E24-D2C94846C41A";
            "com.apple.mail" = "";
            "org.mozilla.firefox" = "BEC5A855-AD96-4DF0-8A99-4FE5CF52AD3D";
            "org.mozilla.thunderbird" = "";
        spaces =     (
                type = 0;
                uuid = "BEC5A855-AD96-4DF0-8A99-4FE5CF52AD3D";
                type = 0;

                uuid = "5FD11E4A-A357-4FCF-A0ED-62C49A62238A";

  • Assigning applications to a desktop

    OS Lion has the option to assign applications to a set desktop. This works well for many applications and is a useful feature; but some, such as Word, often open in the active desktop - can this be resolved?

    This happens even if you have them assigned to a specific desktop? Are you sure when this happens that the desktop you are in isn't the desktop assigned to them?
    In other words if I have safari assigned to desktop 2, for example, and I am in desktop 2 when I open safari then it will appear to be opening in the active window.

  • Why is the "assign to specific desktop" option now missing?

    I'm running Maverick on a brand new rMBP, and suddenly I can't assign an app to a specific desktop anymore!
    The option used to be there in the dock, but now it's just gone... for all apps.
    I have a second display connected, and working perfectly, just like I always do.
    Why is that? How can I fix it?
    Thank you!

    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks I can no longer drag an app from one desktop to another.

    On Mountain Lion I could move apps from one desktop to the other by simple dragging them to the right which would transition to the next desktop. Now the only way I can do it is to use mission control. Anyone else seeing this?

    I actually have the same problem, since I upgraded to Mavericks my MacBook Pro can't seem to find the Bose sounddock 10. Has anyone found a solution to this.
    It still works with the iPhone 5
    Thank you

  • I can no longer activate my CC apps on my desktop, whenever I try to sign in I get an error stating I'm offine or the clock is set incorrectly.

    As the header states, since yesterday I can no longer activate Any CC app on my desktop. But on my Surface Pro 2, that is online using the same internet connection over Wifi, I can activate my apps just fine.
    I switch between working on my tablet and desktop sometimes, and deactivating and activating my subscription on both worked just fine until yesterday.
    I tried activating offline, but that doesn't seem to work either, because I can't get a Request code.
    Thanks,

    The CC is activated on two systems. Please go through the trouble shooting steps in :

    "waiting for sproxy-prod.adobecc.com"
    What should I do?

    I did it, everything seemed to go well, everything happened as it should I saw the "
    multiple lines which start with "Successfully copied the file" followed by:
    Operation has been successfully completed." but I still am not able to log in through the Creative Cloud desktop app or download any apps to install.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Mission Control Lion 10.7.3 assigning apps to desktops

    How do I get an app to stick in a desktop.
    I have the mission control desktop and then desktops 1 through 7.
    I have them all opening up various applicaitons, but even though I move the app to the desktop I want, and I shut down with the app open in that desktop, on restart it opens up in the wrong desktop...always the same one, but always the wrong one.
    iTunes - I put it in Desktop 7, its there when I shut down.  It always opens up in Desktop 1.  I don't have trouble with calendar, mail, addressbook.
    Also, sometimes 'finder' folders that I have left open in a specific window when I shut down do not open up on restart.  They do sometimes, but most of the time not.
    Thanks!

    If you are running the program ctrl+click on its dock's icon.
    Choose Options -> This Desktop
    If you also want to always keep in sequence all spaces, in System Preferences uncheck

  • How can i delete an app on my desktop that says it won't delete because it's still open, even though i have done force quit numerous times.

    How can i delete an app on my desktop that says it won't delete because it's still open, even though i have done force quit numerous times? I even deleted it's files in my Finder and it just won't go away.  Help please!! TIA

    Restart the computer then delete it.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1
