Dashboard as window in Spaces?

Anyone know if there is a way to make Dashboard one of the window zones in Spaces? Sorry if this is a feature request, but it would make my life so much easier! (I love Spaces.)

I was thinking exactly the same thing the other day. It no longer makes any sense for Dashboard to have its own (crippled) workspace. Let us put widgets where we want them! Apple could even use a default Spaces desktop to simulate the existing capability, but users could then move the widgets around as required. However, AFAIK there is no current way to do this.

Safari Cannot Work With Windows Live Spaces

Hi,
I'm using Windows Live Spaces, and I need to change the plug-in in Safari for playing .MP3 files from QuickTime to Windows Media Player since QT plug-in cannot play the background music on my blog.
Besides that, I found that Safari seems not be able to handle some of the codes by Windows Live Spaces. So what should I do? Should I install Windows Systems on my Mac and use Internet Explorer to edit my blog?
Thanks.

It sounds like you're trying to use the old <bgsound> tag for the music...? Try using <object> instead for cross-browser support.

Microsoft have never been too bothered about making things work with non-Microsoft browsers. You may have more luck using [Firefox|www.mozilla.com]. If Internet Explorer is needed (I had a look at the Spaces website but couldn't find anything indicating requirements) then the only way to run that is via Windows.

Moving windows in spaces has lag

there is a very noticeable delay when moving windows between spaces. although it’s not really a problem, it is disconcerting.

Bumping this because it's persisting for me. Has anyone figured out a fix? It's like there is a rubber band between your mouse pointer and the point on the window that you're dragging in Spaces, such that as you drag around the window follows the mouse but kind of bounces and lags as though the rubber band were stretching. And it almost like they built in some Newtonian inertial physics into to. It's not really just a lag per se. But it's definitely annoying.

Every time I click on a separate widget in dashboard, my window switches back to my desktop. How do I prevent this?

Gets pretty annoying when I am switching from one sticky to another.

Dashboards for window 7 mobile

Are there plans to make apps for OBI dashboards on windows 7 mobile like there is for iphone Oracle Business Indicators?

Hi:
Install all the drivers listed under the chipset section.
If your model has an Intel graphics adapter, just install the Intel HD graphics driver listed under the graphics section.
You need the Realtek ethernet driver under network.
You need the Realtek card reader driver under storage.
I don't know what model wireless card your model uses, so please do the following and I will figure that out and tell you what drivers you need for that.
Go to the device manager and click on the device named Network Controller.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that list and select the item named Hardware ID's.
Post the top string of characters you see in the window that start with PCI\VEN.
After you install the drivers I suggested you should have most of the devices installed.
You can find the hardware ID for any remaining devices needing drivers using the above approach and I will post the links to those too.
Unknown devices first line will not start with PCI\VEN. But post the top line for any of those too.

Share Online 3.0/Windows Live Spaces

Okay so i'm pretty sure people by now have figured that updating to Share Online 3.0 breaks the posting on Windows Live Space which is bit of a **bleep**.
So besides sitting back and waiting for the next update of either Share Online 3.0 or a new update to Windows Live Services (which is highly unlikely), is there another way to fix this? I could very well use Vox or Shozu etc but thats not what I want, so if anyone has a way/idea to fix this then please post up.
I dont think either Windows Live nor Nokia Support can address this issue.

The access point issue you remarked here, can be solved provisionally using "Devicescape". Is a good solution (in Devicescape network, you can define the access points you use, and can share them, so that you just define "devicescape" as your access point).
Share Online and Lifeblog. I've tried these solutions, and don't fully understand why Nokia is using two different softwares for the same thing:
I'd like just one software for all stuff.
I've tried ShoZu (www.shozu.com) You can publish in lots of social networks and blogs. Today, they includes Ovi also. Is really good! but you still can`t publish directly to photo albums, you can use shozu to publish in live.com blog area instead of photo albums. But, you can use mail publishing option (inside shozu).

Accidentally dragging windows between Spaces

I am constantly finding myself accidentally dragging app windows between spaces. If you are in space 3 or 4 (or any space on the bottom row) and you are dragging a window to move it around, if you drag it along the top of the screen for too long, spaces thinks that you want to move it to the space above it, and pops you and the window to the new space. Is there a way to disable that option?

don't know how to disable it altogether but you can increase the delay before it happens. the default delay is 0.75 (seconds).
To set it to , say, 3 seconds, enter the following in terminal
defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -float 3
to get back to the original setting
use
defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -float 0.75

Table Partitions and Rolling Window: free space not reclaimed

I have a couple of processes that involve the rolling window scenario where we drop an old partition and add a new partition monthly. We are seeing, however, that free space is not being reclaimed, and so I keep having to feed new datafiles into the tablespace (which is LMT). I was (mistakenly, it seems) under the impression that dropping a partition frees up that space for re-use.
We're currently on Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.2), but these tablespaces were orginally created in 9i. I've read that one solution is to implement "table shrinking," however I also see that is only available on tables in an ASSM tablespace. I see that ASSM is the default for tablespaces in 10gR2, but since my tablespaces were created in 9i, I assume they are not ASSM.
I'd like to see what other people think of this scenario. Surely a lot of people do the rolling window scenario and need space reclaimed.

No, it is of concern because Sanadra was messing with the partitions. She could have inadvertantly caused something to happen, in this case the free-space issue, and it's imperative to get all of the details.
My iMac 27' Late-2012 does not have a fusion drive, yet shows that the type is "internal" the original poster doesn't indicate that.

Focus on wrong window using spaces

When I do the following:
1. assign preview to space 4 in System preferences, spaces
2. open some documents in Preview.
3. switch to another space (say, space 1)
4. open other documents (say, a bunch of pictures)
I get the following behaviour:
The finder switches automatically to space 4 (normal), and then, instead of my pictures appearing as the first window, they appear in a window behind some of the other documents already opened (in step 2).
Isn't that weird?
Now, when I continue by doing:
5. Put the opened bunch of pictures in front.
6. Close their window.
7. Go back to space 1.
8. Open the same bunch of pictures again.
This time, the finder switches to space 4, and the pictures correctly appear in a window in front.
If I start again with steps 1 to 4 but with a new set of pictures, they again appear behind some other document.
Very weird.
It looks like a bug and I guess there is no "solution" for the moment, but I wonder if this is common behaviour. Has anyone got the same behaviour?

I have the same incorrect focus problem when opening a document in a Space different from the Space it’s assigned.
For me it is mostly when I double-click on a website link in my e-mail application in Space 1 and my browser (Safari) is in Space 2. The web page I wanted to go to is behind a previously opened browser window. It’s more of an annoyance than a problem. Safari offsets new windows so the unfocused window is sticking out on the side from the focused window and I just click on it to have it become the focused window.
I read on another posting that a user was running a beta of 10.5.3. Perhaps the problem will be resolved in that update if enough people report the bug to Apple. I’ve seen on this forum a link to send a message to Apple for recommending changes and new features. Guess I’ll need to go find it.

Mail subject line and safari Goggle Search window removing spaces between words

After upgrading to Lion I can no longer type out a subject line in Mac Mail witout the spaces automaicaly being removed. All words run together. Same situation in Safari's Google Search window. No issues in FireFox. Driving me nuts. Any others with this issue?

Found the answer to this issue. I'm amazed this received no responce from the community. Must mean I was the only one with such issue. Amazinly, the exact same thing was happening on three differnt Macs that I loaded Lion to. The answer was given to me by a very helpful and SMART tech person at Apple Care. Two other Apple Care techs were going to have me reinstall the entire OS after wiping my computers clean. I finally found someone that knew what they were doing. He simply took me to Apple>Preferences>Language & Text. Then I selected the Text Tab and then went to the bottom of the window and Reset Default Settings. Bingo, all was fixed. Each machine I did the same thing on and all are working fine now. Hope by me typing this up will help others if needed since not one person responded to this inquirey.

Dashboard and window sizes when connecting to LED display

Hello,
I just bought the LED display yesterday...gotta say thats its beautiful....i have one problem though....when i connected it to my macbook all the window sizes (e.g safari, itunes, dashboard) were too small....I tried modifying them...but now when i disconnect the display the window sizes on the macbook are too big and out of display....the resolution on the laptop is 1280X800 and on the screen its 1920X1200
any way to fix this?
Thanks

My experience is that if you are connected to the larger display and then disconnect without restarting, then you will see the behaviour you are describing.
If you restart the machine after disconnecting, the MB is smart enough to make everything fit within the native (and only available) resolution.
Good luck!

Finder window free space

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard, and I was playing with the new OS (Mountain Lion). And in Snow Leopard, there was a at the bottom of every Finder a ribbon of text saying how much space was in the hard drive. Is there a way to put that ribbon in this new OS? I bet it's something really easy to do, but alas, I can't find it. Thank you

Help! Megastick 527- Windows available space errors!

Hey everyone! I hope you guys can help me, i surely haven't seen a similar thread relating to this, so i guess this one's going to be a new problem ^_^;;
Okay, things go like this: i bought my megastick 527 just four days ago, and everything seemed fine (i haven't even tried updating the firmware, though i think it's updated, v 1.00.06), until i noticed that windows (98 SE, in this case) wasn't calculating the available disk space for the stick correctly. Right now, whereas my Stick shows that there are 41megs available, windows states that there are only 3 megs left! however, if i try selecting every file in the stick individually, it sums up to the right ammount of used space!
To add to that each time i wiped a file from the stick using the stick itself, windows failed to update its available disk space (and the stick showed the right numbers instead...). In fact, it only did when i wiped a file using windows explorer instead...
Well, technical specs: windows 98 SE, i haven't seen any other of the usual Stick problems (no freezes, no crashes, no failed detections...). Firmware version: 1.00.06, according to the site, it's the latest. I've operated the stick normally, following every step, though i haven't formatted it yet, i've used it just in the way i bought it. PC specs: like i said, Windows 98SE, 512 ram, Athlon 2200+, XFX KT400ALH (yes, the dreaded KT400 chip...), USB 2.0 (never had a problem with it...), no onboard videocard (my only one was bought separately, an MSI Ge Force FX 5200)...and i think that's very much it, unless you need something else ^_^;
If you need any extra information, please tell me. I really hope something can be done about it, i'm almost sure there's nothing wrong with the stick itself...either way, thank you guys, in advance! ^_^
p.s.: excuse my crappy english...it doesn't help with my explanations X'D

Hm...since i won't be able to acccess an XP packed pc in a while, i wonder if i should try formatting the Stick...what programs would you guys suggest? should i use the firmware updating program (since i see it can format without updating the firmware...well, no problems there, since there is no update to mine...) or use windows's disk format (by the way, if this is possible, how should i do it, and should i use fat16 or 32?).
Once again, thanks in advance! ^_^;

Finder window HD space

Is there a way to get back the remaining hard disk space that used to appear along the bottom of a Finder window in Snow Leopard?
I found this useful.
I wonder why Apple would remove something useful.....?
thanks

Getting a Dashboard quit window message...

Hello all.
I have started to add some widgets to Dashboard, all downloaded from Apple's site, but I will state that not all the widgets in their own site have stated that they are Leopard 10.5 compatible. I've also added two 'Web Clip' widget from my local websites, one is a company's share price and the other the local petrol/gas price.
Sometimes upon the 2nd or 3rd time reactivating Dashboard, I notice the widgets have "frozen"... I know this because one of the widgets I downloaded was "fan" and the fans (of the mac's internal fan speed etc) has stopped turning...
*Anyway, so I exit Dashboard and return to the Desktop, and not long, I would get this pop-up window message:*
+(Yellow Exclamation Point) The application DashboardClient quit unexpectedly.+
+Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.+
+Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple (Ignore/Report... Buttons)+
So I send the report anyway thought Apple could use all the information.
I bet this has something to do with the "frozen" widgets inside Dashboard... maybe it's one of the widgets or not, I am not sure.
Thanks and cheers

hi,
i'm getting the same thing (so i figured i'd add to this post), but all i did was run the most recent software update and my dashboard started "unexpectedly quitting" on me. i didn't add any new widgets or change anything in it. it's annoying and a little unnerving. i'm wondering if it'll cause system instability later on. any advise would be much appreciated.
thanks a bunch!
