Can't assign Finder to "Every Space"

As I had anticipated, Spaces is my favorite feature in Leopard. Unfortunately, there is on quite annoying oversight in the design.
When you set up Spaces, you select which applications you want for each space. But, you can also choose "Every Space" if you want to float an application across all of the spaces. However, there is no way to select this option for the Finder!
This is a real pain. For example, say I open a Finder window in Space 1. Later on, I'm doing something in Space 2 and I need to open an file so I click on the Finder icon in the Dock. Ack! It switches back to Space 1!
I can work around this issue by right-clicking the icon and selecting "New Finder Window", but it sure would be nice to have a single Finder window that would float across all the spaces.
Anyway, if I'm missing something in the Spaces Preference pane that would allow me to assign the Finder to every space, please let me know.

I was having the same problem - I guess you've solved it by now, but I just saw this: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071027130921428 - basically you can find the Finder app in /System » Library » CoreServices » Finder.

    I'm trying to make a script that goes through a folder recursively, checks for every folder if it's name is "template", and if so it changes the icon of that folder to an icon
    I chose.
    I searched for an answer here, and I've only managed to find a way to assign an icon to a shortcut, but not to an existing file.
    Thanks in advance (:

  • Spaces - Every space?

    Hi all... if this is the wrong place to post this I apologize in advance. I couldn't find a "spaces" discussion.
    I have a new MacPro and have setup 6 "spaces" I am running XRG which is a resource graph so I can monitor how the machine is holding up under my load.
    I went into spaces preferences and set it to be "every space". Well it isn't. It's only on the first space after a boot.
    Even if I reboot (thinking that XRG was loading AFTER spaces or vice versa) no luck. The only thing that works is to go into prefs, and reassign it to all spaces then it works.
    Any body got some ideas on how to fix?

    I'm not sure either if this is where to discuss this spaces issue, but I'm experiencing a similar problem with my MacBook Pro since the update 10.5.6: the software I'm using is Parallels v4, set to every space, but it sticks to the space in which I start the program instead of being available in all spaces as specified in preferences.
    The only solution which works (temporarily) is as you've described: go to preferences and "re-confirm" that you want the program to work in all spaces. If I stop the program and restart it later, it (again) sticks to the start-up space unless I "change" the prefs to all spaces.
    I think it's a bug in update X.5.6 but would like to know if others have the same problem!

  • Whither "Show app on every Space"?

    Hmm, Lion seems pretty cool so far, but it appears the option to display an app in every Space (or even to assign an app to a specific Space) is history.
    Am I missing something?
    I typically have RSS feed tickers, and other dynamic information, displayed in every space on a second display so, no matter which Space I'm in, they're visible.  I've looked through the Mission Control prefs, but that option seems no longer available?

    Hi Clay,
    Hmm, nope.  I didn't do anything special to enable it.  You should also be able to click-hold on the app icon while it's in the Dock.  A little menu will be displayed with an "Options" submenu.  This submenu contains the following:
    Keep in Dock
    Open at Login
    Show in Finder
    Assign To
      All Desktops
      This Desktop
      None
    Good luck!

  • Why can't I find the color profile info in the library ?

    Why can’t I find the color profile info in the library ?
    It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…).
    I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)?
    Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !
    But no trace of it anywhere….
    Thx for any reply.

    The disconnect here is many (including me) don't reimport rendered JPEGs
    into our Lightroom Catalogs. Why you are doing that is beyond me. You
    have the original and can recreate any rendered file at any time.
    Storing the derivative JPEGs is redundant, creates additional confusion
    and serves little real purpose. Exported versions are considered
    discarable by many.
    Yes, understand what you're meaning. but the fact is that I started rather recently with lightroom. So my images where classified in directory's and subdirectory's...already.
    I think that this is the major problem. This is always a problem when you step in a new system.
    Let's say I am going to submit to a photographic society, I have an Export
    preset created that exports to proper size and color space for
    projection. It creates a file. I send it to the club. Then I delete it.
    Why save it? I can recreate it. Then I don't have to manage it, search
    for it, or worse yet, risk confusion with my original file or othe
    resultant derivatives. 
    The fact that I like to keep them is
    indeed an inborn result of the "pré-lightroom period". A bad habitude
    indeed. I'm thinking now of deleting them, will maybe better. On the other side
    I still have them just for me in order to know which ones I used and when.
    Another bad habitude.
    But
    since I'm not a professional photographer I'm mostly confronted with the time
    issue and it is for me easier to take existing files ready for use...
    ( doesn't mean you’re not confronted
    with this problem
    Today place for jpeg's is rather easy since the Gb's are almost free...
    Same is true of a client photo. They want an 8x10. I go to the retouched
    original, create a JPEG from an 8x10 preset in the proper dimensions and color space. Send it to the lab. Then, I can delete it.
    One of the strengths of Lightroom is that it creates many fewer
    intermediate file versions along the way toward final creation. Another
    strength is that you can save (via snapshots in Develop) your
    derivatives, export, and discard them without having to create, import
    and manage additional files on disk. In the old days of just Photoshop
    you might end up with a dozen or more files on your disk for every
    worked file. With Lightroom, you only need one or two.
    Will look deeper in your proposed workflow...and yes I'm comming from the old days.
    That said, if you want to keep the derivatives for purposes down the road,
    that is up to you but I don't understand why they need to be inserted
    into your catalog.
    Since my catalog is made in the time
    from before lightroom I’m still having all these directory's and
    subdirectory's...
    Easier
    for me since even with back-ups of the catalogue still afraid for crashes. And
    I keep liking these directory structure because for the moment it's lighrtroom
    and tomorrow it can be another program, you never know. It's like a website, "on line versoin only", big problem when a firm at some moment stop to provide this possibility.
    I think I will try to go deeper in "how to use lightroom better..."
    thanks

  • How to find remaining free space in your schema

    Hi
    I am new to Oracle hence this question..
    What is the command that would help me know how much percent of space allocated to my schema has been used and also how to find remaining amount of space in bits or bytes or whatever from SQL or any where... I am not a database admin (fyi)
    Appreciate ur help in this reg
    Thanx
    Kris

    Kris, free space is not assigned to a schema in Oracle per say, but it you mean "how can I see how much of their quota a user has used?" then the following should help.
    You can find quotas in dba_ts_quotas (also user version)
    You can find how much space has been used in dba_extents (also user_extents)
    You should be able to write a query that compared the sum of the used space for a tablespace to the quota for the tablespace. Try the following query (notice how DBA's are treated)
    select q.username, q.tablespace_name,
    q.bytes as Quota, e.spcused as Used,
    round(q.bytes/e.spcused * 100,2) as Percentage
    from dba_ts_quotas q,
    (select tablespace_name, owner, sum(bytes) as spcused
    from dba_extents
    group by tablespace_name, owner
    ) e
    where q.tablespace_name = e.tablespace_name
    and q.username = e.owner
    If you are actually interested in how much free space is left in a tablespace you can look at dba_free_space (user_free_space), but the value returned is not adjusted for the quota limitation. You need the query above for that.

  • The transaction log for database 'WSS_Content' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

    Hi all,
    Observing the below error in event logs once in every day at 3:30 AM on the on SQL Server Machine, it is being used for TFS 2010.
    The transaction log for database 'WSS_Content' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
    Kindly advice me here on what to do?
    Thanks in advance

    First thing to check is, what is happening at 3:30am to cause the log to fill up?  Is there any maintenance tasks being run against the DB, such as index re-organizations or rebuilds?  If so, take a look at what the job is doing, maybe it could
    be tuned (ex:  A Maintenance Plan with a rebuild indexes task will rebuild *every* index whether it needs it or not.  Look at using something that checks how fragmented an index is, and then intelligently determines what, if anything, to do to that
    index.)
    Basically, the error is telling you that SQL is trying to do something in the DB, and has filled up the log (either because it's not getting backed up often enough, or the transaction in question is running *very* long, or your log is set to not auto-grow)
    So, a couple possible solutions:
    Increase the frequency of Transaction Log backups of WSS_Content (only works if the DB is in Full Recovery)
    If you've got the disk space, turn on auto-growth for the TLog (or just manually grow it larger) {This will work for both Full and Simple Recovery}
    It would be nice to know what's causing the space to not be re-used, but with this occuring at 3:30am, you'll either need to set up an Agent job to run around that time and record its results, or manually run something like "select log_reuse_wait_desc from
    sys.databases where name = 'WSS_Content';"  Me, I prefer to be soundly sleeping at 3:30am and would set up an Agent job to run from say about 3:00am to 3:45am once per minute (maybe even more frequently.)
    DON'T shrink the log, though.  SQL will idealy grow the log as large as it needs it (if autogrowth is enabled) and no more.  If you shrink the file, SQL will just have to re-grow it later again, which can affect performance.

  • Spaces Keyboard viewer in every space

    I use the keyboard viewer frequently to enter short text strings (I have a disability that makes using the keyboard uncomfortable) and I use Spaces. Previously I could add Keyboardviewer to "every space" in 10.6 I can not find out how to do that. I know where the app is /System/Library/Input Methods/Keyboardviewer . When I navigate there to add it nothing shows. How can I configure Spaces so Keyboardviewer is displayed in every space?

    Michael, I think I know what you did wrong. I added keyboard viewer to every space and then went back to write up step by step instructions and it was suddenly gone!! I had not followed the exact path. Input methods exist in several places but they are empty except in the exact path you specified.
    Macintosh HD/System/Library/Input Methods/Keyboardviewer
    Anyway the step by step is below, which you probably already know but here it is:
    You can navigate there from System Preferences - Expose & Spaces - Spaces Tab. Now hit the "+" sign below Application Assignments. In the drop down box select "other".
    Make sure to start at the Mac HD level as you click through /system/library/input etc.
    Select the Keyboard viewer and then "every space".

  • I upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto?

    i upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto? I've tried putting the pictures on flashdrives, but iphoto would no tlet me transfer.

    I don't know how large the SSD (solid state hard drive) is, or how big your iPhone 5 is, but with some iPhones having 64GB and some Airs having as little as 64GB and some having as much as 512GB it's not hard to see how storing the contents of your iPhone 5 on your Macbook Air could run you out of space.
    Go to the Macbook Air and bring up a finder window and pull the Go menu down and go to the Computer. Right click on the Macintosh HD and select get info. See if there is any available space on the MacBook Air. If not you are out of SSD space (you're storing more on your Macbook Air than it has storage for). I'm not sure if iTunes can store its library on an external hard drive or quite how you would make that happen. But even if you managed that, when the hard drive was disconnected, you would lose access to your library. Using a smart media card might be possible (I don't know) but it would probably be irritatingly slow. If you have a small Air and a big iPhone you might just have to find a different computer to sync to. Just remember a 64GB iPhone is a big chunk of SSD for a Macbook Air. I did it with my previous and my current Air but even my previous one had 256GB and I really just fit.

  • How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen so I can use a Logitech R800 presenter? An option in next version?

    I have recently bought a Logitech R800 presenter which works very well with Keynote on a MacBook Pro. The start/stop presentation key does not work but that can be easily fixed by assigning F5 to "Start presentation" for Keynote in the keyboard system preferences. The remaining issue is that the blank screen button sends a period (".") which works as a prompt for a blank screen in PowerPoint, but in Keynote it causes the slideshow to end. Keynote uses the letter "B" for blank screen.
    How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen? Some sort of work around would be very useful as I often use blank screen in my presentations and much prefer Keynote to PowerPoint.
    Perhaps it will be an option in next version of Keynote?
    Thanks

    As far as I know you can not change these keystrokes without changing the Program files. I am sure it is possible there, but I have no idea where to even start to tell you where to find it.
    Your best bet it to go to the Keynote Menu>Provide Keynote Feedback and let Apple know you would like the option to change them.

  • Through my iCal calendar I decided to share my entries with my husband and I thought I was doing everything that was prompted of me to do but not only can I not find "us" or the URL address in the internet but I no longer have ANY CALENDAR ENTRIES!grrrrr

    If there is anybody out there who can help me find my iCal entries from this week forward I would soooo appreciate it!  I decided to "share" calendars with my husband and in doing so I have lost my appointments and can't find the URL or http:// blah,blah anywhere.  I looked through my Time Capsule and of course nothing is there (it shows what exists now in the calendar which is nothing), I looked in iCloud and I don't know how to retrieve my stuff.  Thank you in advance for your help.  I really don't like these things because I am not very good at them.  What I would think is simple every time becomes a huge mess and wasted life.

    As iCloud does not have your calendars we have two options:
    Contact Apple ASAP and ask them to see if they have a backup copy of your calendar data which they can restore from the server to iCloud.  It's not Apple's responsibility to maintain backups of your data but most servers have a backup of some type.  The challenge is that those backups probably get refreshed fairly quickly so you need to contact them fast so they can put a request in to whoever manages the iCloud servers (it might not be possible but its worth asking).  http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    Something you can do right now:If you have a Time Capsule that suggests you are running Time Machine which backs up your entire computer (else why have a Time Capsule).
    Make an iCal backup of what you still have:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    Go to Calendars > Go Offline
    Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    Quit all open applications
    Click anywhere on your desktop
    Go to the "Go" menu at the top of the screen and hold down the "option / alt" key on your keyboard.
    Click on the "library" option in the menu.
    While in the Library go to the Time Machine menu at the top right corner of your computer screen (Little clock face with an arrow going around it in a circle) and click "Enter Time Machine".
    In Time Machine click on the the time line running down the right hand side of the screen to choose a date / time when you are 100% confident that iCal had the events you are looking for.
    Once you've gone to the date you want, highlight the "Calendars" folder in the Library window.
    Click the button that says "restore" in the bottom right.
    Once the restore is complete, open iCal and see if your events are there.
    If the events are there, Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to your desktop.
    If the events are not there, go back into Time Machine and try an earlier date.
    Once the calendars are restored to iCal and you've exported a copy out, go to Calendars > Go online
    If the events vanish you can re-import them from the copies you exported to the desktop.

  • Can I assign diffierent GL to movement type 601(GI)  and 459(return to bl ?

    dear friends,
    we have GL50000 (cost of goods sales) assigned to both movement type 601(goods issue) and 459( transfer posting from return to bloked stock).
    My question is :
    1. Can I assign different GL to these two types of goods movement?
    2. in which configuration can I find movement key , such as 601 behind a transaction, such as goods issue?
    Your advice will be deeply appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Linda

    Hi
    Yes, you can assign
    The Key for 601 PGI is VAX & VAY
    The Key for 459 is is also VAX as per OMJJ... However, you can type ZAX in the place of VAX and assign a diff GL Account in OBYC: GBB-ZAX
    Go to OMJJ > Tick Movement type > Enter > Specify the Mvt Type 459 > Enter > CLick on "Account Grouping Tab" on Top Left side
