Case: When trying t work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first deskt

When I try to work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if already open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

Whether or not this behavior occurs depends upon various preference settings and upon how you try to access the application in question. Personally, I like to organize my desktops according to project, so I regularly have windows from the same application spread out over several desktops. No problem.
For example, I have a Safari window in Desktop 1 and I want a Safari window in desktop 2. If, while in desktop 2, I bring Safari to the front by clicking on the Dock icon, I can open a new window in the usual ways. I could also just control-click on the Safari icon in the dock to get a new window in desktop 2.
(The only application that is a little weird in this regard is Finder. You have to do the control-click on it or it will always switch to a space with a window open.)
To make all this occur, I have Safari assigned to no desktops (control-click on Safari icon, then on Options) and in Mission Control preferences (in System Preferences) I have "When switching to an application..." UNchecked.
(Note that, with these settings, if an application is already in front and you click on its icon - or click twice on the icon if the applcation is not in front - the OS will assume you are looking for another open window and will switch spaces to give you one.)
Hope this helps.

Case when statement not working

hi there, I am trying to work out how to get my case statement to work.
I have got the following code.
select pthproto.pthdbo.cnarole.tpkcnarole, pthproto.pthdbo.cnaidta.formataddr as formataddr, cnaidta.dateeffect as maxdate, isnull(cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.prefix1key as varchar (50)),'') + ' ' + isnull(cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.prefix2key
as varchar (50)),'')+ ' ' + isnull(cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.prefix3key as varchar (50)),'') + ' ' + isnull (cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.houseidkey as varchar (100)),'') + ' ' + isnull (cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.component1
as varchar (100)),'') + ' ' + isnull (cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.component2 as varchar (100)),'') + ' ' + isnull (cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.component3 as varchar (100)),'') + ' ' + isnull (cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.component4
as varchar (100)),'') + ' ' + isnull (cast (pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr.component5 as varchar (100)),'') as mailaddress, row_number() over(partition by pthproto.pthdbo.cnarole.tpkcnarole order by cnaidta.dateeffect desc) as rn into #address from pthproto.pthdbo.cnarole
inner join pthproto.pthdbo.cnaidty on cnarole.tfkcnaidty =cnaidty.tpkcnaidty inner join pthproto.pthdbo.cnaidta on cnaidty.tpkcnaidty = cnaidta.tfkcnaidty inner join pthproto.pthdbo.cnaaddr on cnaidta.tfkcnaaddr = cnaaddr.tpkcnaaddr order by cnaidta.dateeffect
select *, case when mailaddress is not null then mailaddress else formataddr end as test from #address where tpkcnarole = '18306695'
The case when statement is struggling with how i have created the column mailaddress. As it does seem to understand when it is null. In the example I have got there is no value in any of the columns to create
the mailaddress. Hence why I am referencing it from elsewhere. Due to having a way on the system where it picks up data from 2 different places. The mailaddress is always correct if there is one, hence why
trying to reference that one first. So how do i change this case when statement to work ?

It's ok I have fixed my own problem
when
(mailaddress
is
null
or mailaddress
=
then formataddr
else mailaddress
end
as test
case

When trying to work with Agilent 34401A multimeter (serial RS-232 connection), HP34401A Getting Started.vi gives always the message: "Error 1073807369 occurred at Old VISA Open ".

Baud rate and parity are set correctly, RS-232 cable is also connected correctly. My QuickBasic program has no problems to read and write to the Multimeter. It is obviously a software problem: the same error is persistent if I disconnect RS-232 cable.
I downloaded NI-VISA 2.6 for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP frorm digital.ni.com and installed it. But it did not help.
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Alexei Soloviev

Hi Steve
I have problems with the 34401A and serial communication. Do you remember
where the error was in the code ?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the computer before 2010, your computer hasn't got Thunderbolt, so you can't use it

The Game Center used to work with my Apple ID before I updated to iOS 7.4, I used to play multiple player with EA Real Racing 3 game but it doesn't work at all and every time I tried to go to the Game Center it's just blank, even to the settings nothing!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Game Center and sign out and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

HT4623 When connecting my iphone to my computer, message appears: iphone cannot be used because itunes needs to be updated. I updated on my Mac, but it isn't transferring to my phone. Tried looking at software updates on my phone - "no updates needed"

Okay, that means with the latest iOS software, it requires the latest version of iTunes on the computer. Which computer OS platform are you using. Now you are saying that after downloading the latest version of iTunes that your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes? Completely different thing, and the iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with that anyway. The iTunes on the iPhone is just for purchases.
If you are having trouble with the iPhone being recognized by iTunes, use the appropriate link for your computer OS for assistance.

Hi
This Q is close to - Something is wrong. What's it ?
You have to supply much more info to be able to start guessing.
• What material was used ? Video codec, Audio file format and Photo file format
• Free space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ?
• Brand of DVD used ?
• Type of DVD used ?
• Burn speed set down or not ?
• Version of iMovie, iDVD'11 v 7.1.2 (OK), QuickTime and Mac OS ( X.6.8 I read ? )
And all extra info You can supply - that set's us on track.

When I try to use spellcheck, I get the "Cannot find the User dictionary". It has always worked in the past and when I go to choose the main dictionary, it just goes back to the same line, cannot find user dictionary.

When I try to use spellcheck, I get the "Cannot find the User dictionary". It has always worked in the past and when I go to choose the main dictionary, it just goes back to the same line, cannot find user dictionary.

Have you ever created a user dictionary? You have to manually create one, AppleWorks won't do for you. The user dictionary & any other dictionaries belong in the AppleWorks Essentials folder which belongs in the AppleWorks 6 folder in Applications.
Deleting & reinstalling AppleWorks from the original disk will not delete your files unless you have saved them in the application folder. The Mac OS creates a separate Documents folder for your files & that is where the documents you created should be.
Unless all of your documents are AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, Pages alone is not sufficient. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.

It's so annoying!! I have created a new Apple ID but after I click verify it just goes back to the previous page!!! It''s really frustrating I have tried for more than 4H, and the problem is not about the apple ID. I can download apps with the apple ID, which means IMessage is the problem! I restarted my iPad, I logged in and out of the apple ID in the store, AND YET IT STILL WON'T WORK, PLEASE HELP!

Hi Vmanfromusa!
It sounds like you are having an issue with activating your iMessage app on your iPad. An article outlining some troubleshooting steps for this issue can be found here:

Gay,
I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

Since purchasing the Note 3 in October i have had nothing but issues. I went through all the steps and eventually I was sent a different phone, which was working for the most part until the recent upgrade. Now I am back to the old issues, no service, it actually says not moblie network available, when everyone else in my family has coverage and are on my plan with iphones. I am missing text messages and dropping calls left and right. This is unacceptable for the cost of this phone and my service. I have did a hard reset etc. What else can I do??

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
