"Gather windows" for all apps?

How do I move all apps from a Secondary Desktop that I can't see to my Primary Desktop that I can see? This is something that I end up faced with at least once a week and its incredibly frustrating.
This is a problem on any version of OSX without Spaces. Mavericks, Yosemite, and anything else lacking Spaces is a problem.
I am hooked to a Projector for a meeting and I can't see my Secondary Desktop.
I need to change settings, for example the background image needs to be changed, but I can't see the Secondary Desktop background controls and so I can't change anything.
In Windows there is an option to "Move" an open window using the arrow keys. You can recover -any- window that you can't see.
Is there anything like this in Yosemite?
I used to use Spaces for this but the new Mission Control is horrid and doesn't come close to what Spaces used to offer.
I need to "simply" move a window from my Secondary Desktop to my Primary Desktop without being able to see the Secondary Desktop...
This is a huge issue for me. I am left frustrate and wanting to throw my Mac into the river almost once a week because of this issue...
please someone help me!!

Hi Brian,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're having a frustrating experience with Spaces in Yosemite. There are a few options that may help with this behavior.
First, make sure your displays are set up as separate Spaces in the Mission Control pane of System Preferences:
Displays have separate Spaces
If you use the Spaces feature and have multiple displays, you can set up separate spaces for each display.
From:
OS X Yosemite: Mission Control preferences
Then, if you want to move an application window from one space to another, try one of these options:
Assign apps to spaces
If you assign an app to a particular space, it opens in that space by default.
Press and hold an app’s icon in the Dock. You may have to first open the app from Launchpad to see its icon in the Dock.
From the shortcut menu that appears, do one of the following:
Have the app open in the current space: Choose Options > This Desktop.
The app appears only in that space. However, if you open the app in full screen, it appears in its own space.
Have the app open in the current space on a specific display: Choose Options > Desktop on Display [number].
Have the app open in every space: Choose Options > All Desktops.
The app appears in every space.
Have the app open in whichever space you’re using at the time: Choose Options > None.
In Mission Control preferences, you can also specify that, when you switch to an app, your desktop should switch to a space with open windows for that app. To open Mission Control preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mission Control.

OS X Yosemite: Work in multiple spaces

  • How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox updates?

    How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox and Thunderbird updates?
    Apparently now Mozilla creates new versions of their browser and email apps every two weeks instead of just creating updates... I'm tired of all of the pop-up requests for these constant installation requests and all the problems that the new version installations create... I just want to use the software and be left alone.
    I can't find a way to make Firefox and Thunderbird stop with the pop-up requests for new installations... is there a way to do this or has Mozilla just got it rigged so one can't just use the software without re-installing a new version every two weeks and running in to new plugin issues and missing features every time?
    Help!

  • Speakable Items for all Apps?

    We've installed two iMac G5's on walls in a new waiting room/meeting room. The wireless keyboards and mouse are put away so that they aren't stolen. I've activated Speakable Items, and a few commands are working great. Is it possible to find speakable items for all/most applications, or do you have to make something speakable, app by app, command by command9 desired apps and commands only of course).
    Thx,

    because I design the website in MAC when I transfer to PC it

    how could I set a fixed size window for all resulution?

    Using layers for page layout is just asking for trouble.
    Trouble with
    centering content, and trouble with expanding text.
    Use tables until you can manage a proper CSS layout scheme,
    i.e., NOT
    layers. Start here -

  • After clearing cash on mac applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player with app cleaner and again download and instal new but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. Please advise me?!

    After clearing cash on my mac ( Go to folder: ~/Library/Caches and clear all, than to Library/Cashes and clear all again) applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player, firefox.. with app cleaner and again download and install the new one but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. I have done this cash clean up very often on Maverick without any problems. This time I done it again because I could not open my web site, the server has blocked me and I was trying everything including deleting cash from mac. Please advise me what to do..?!? Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Anyone get FCS 2 upgrade box ? Hardcopy manuals included for all apps?

    Subject says it all... anyone have the $499 upgrade box yet? I am hoping for manuals for all apps... ( well except DVD Studio Pro 4 - it has not changed).
    thanks
    Still waiting for it to arrive in my local Apple store...

    I received all the manuals with my FCS1 upgrade box.
    They weren't included with the CROSSGRADE, but they were with the FCS1 upgrade.
    Haven't bought the FCS2 upgrade yet, so I can't speak to that, but they were in the FCS1 upgrade.

  • Stereo speakers mod for ALL apps and sounds

    Hi Sony Community,
    I want ask you if there is a mod without root to use the speakers of my Xperia Z2 on stereo for ALL apps, calls and sounds (system and not system).
    I found very bad that Sony hasn't optimize Android 5 with this feature because the speakers of Xperia Z2 are very beautiful and functional, better than Z3, but without stereo output are very limited and reduce the potential of this smartphone!
    The stereo front speakers of Xperia are one of the GREAT and BEST design features against ALL Samsung and Apple devices, so I don't understand why Sony use they on stereo to give us a powerful and especially COMPLETE sound output
    I hope in a future implemention of this setting into next firmware update, but now I will very haapy if there is a sostitutive mod to force to use speakers o stereo for ALL.
    Every answers are welcome to me!
    Cheers
    Solved!

    No problem.. It's as safe as any modification of software I guess. I have never had any issues, but yes I'm sure just rooting the device will not lose your drm keys. You only lose drm keys when unlocking the bootloader which I do not feel comfortable doing.
    There's a full tutorial on XDA on how to do this. To sum it up, you pretty much have to downgrade in order to root and have custom recovery, then flash a pre-rooted stock rom. This will give you 100% stock experience, but with root added. Then you can choose which mods, etc you like to flash like the one mentioned above.
    It doesn't require too much knowledge, and isn't too complicated, but I'd still recommend reading up on it a lot before doing it, just in case anything happens. I always make sure I read instructions in full at least 3 or 4 times to feel comfortable.

  • How can I resize and reposition the Date Created window for All windows?

    When setting view options for a finder window set to list view, I cannot get column resizing or positioning to hold. When making those changes, the option for "All Windows" automatically shifts to "This window only" and it then does not hold.

  • Kernel Upgrade for all App systems

    Hi,
    I have to do a Kernel upgrade soon. I have one CI DB cluster and 4 App servers. Do I have to upgrade the kernel on each app system and the CI? I mean, do I have to copy the files to the RUN folder for each App server and for the CI?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Ensure that you are using the SAP kernel recommended together with the latest SAP stacks for your product. For detailed information, see SAP Service Marketplace: http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks
    SAP releases Support Package Stacks, including kernel patches, on a regular basis (2-4 times a year). Therefore, we also suggest you create a strategy to implement these stacks periodically.In special cases, you may need to use a more recent kernel patch than the one shipped with the latest Support Package Stack for your product like in case of traces.
    Yes you need to update the patch level of all the servers in the system.
    Hope this helps!!
    Kind Regards

  • How can I see what I payed for all Apps I downloaded?

    I want to see all the apps I downloaded and how much I payed for each but can't find out how to do that. I got a $100 gift card and I want track what i buy better

    But is there a way for me to see what I payed for each app?
    If you followed the solution that I gave you, then you would not need to ask the question, you would know that you could see the price you paid for each app.
    I want to track what the gift card is being used for over the next year
    The way an account works is that the credit from the gift card that you now have on your account will be charged first for anything that you buy in the iTunes Store, the iTunes App Store, the iBookstore and the Mac App Store. When the credit is exhausted then any further purchases will be charged to a listed bank card.

    You will need to make a custom template with your own settings.
    The default text style is Body so set that the way you like it in the template.

    You can set your custom template to open by default in your preferences.

  • Got a new IPAD and was charged 200.00 for all apps previsouly purchased!.  Has anyone else had this issue?  I went thru the appstore and clicked on already purcahed apps and "installed" them on my new IPAD and got about 50 charges all at once from ITUNEs

    After setting up my new IPAD2 I went into the APPStore and noticed there was an already purchased section, which showed all my previous purchases I had made and installed on my IPAD I.  IT gave me the option to "install" them onto my IPAD2 and there was not visual "COST" associated with it and it never prompted me for a charge althought I had to enter my account password each time.  Additionally I didn't get any emails like you usually do when buying an app.  A few days later, BAM! 50 charges or so totalling upwards to 200 bucks with no description other than ITUNES on my bank account so I can't even tell which apps they were for.  Is part of the public BETA cloud testing?!  I hope to god not, it caused my bank account to go negative and now I have many NSF charges.  I can NOT affort this.  I know apple has a disclaimer "No refunds" under any circumstance.  But as far as I"m concerned.  THIS IS THEFT!
    Please note the IPAD os version is 4.3.3 (8J2) which isn't a drop down option for my OS below... Figures.

    More update on y situation. Now on both the IPAD and IPAD2 I can not got to view my purchase History, it says it can not connect to the ITUNES store, but yet I can still d/l apps and can view my account etc etc etc.
