Hide app icons when switch desktop 2, 3

My dock is very empty, only have running applications there.
I am using 3 spaces - desktop 1. home desktop 2. study and desktop 3. work.
At work I might have Outlook for Mac running on desktop 3. When I return home to desktop 1, I might have QuickTime, PhotoShop and Safari open. All of these applications are open, but I just want to see the relevant application icons being used on that desktop.
How can I hide the application icons when I switch between desktops.
Thank you Apple Community!

Here is another discussion I found with a similar query. - http://goo.gl/8WovL
The answer is NO. But, I wonder if things have changed since 2007?
Please add your comments, what do you think?

CC window pops up when switching desktops in Mac OS X 10.8.4

I have just updated all my apps to CC. Everything looks fine so far. The only glaring annoyance I see is that the CC window pops up when switching desktops in Mission Control. I normally work with four to five desktops and switch frequently between them. The CC window keeps popping up from the menu bar icon even though there is nothing new to report or alert. Is this a bug, or is there some way to stop this?
P.S. I just tried selecting "Open As Window..." and the problem goes away. However, if I then select "Pin to Menu Bar..." again, at first it will seem to stay quiet between desktop switches, but as soon as I open the window the first time and close it again, it will resume the annoying behavior when switching between desktops. Seems like a bug to me.

Hi Geezjan,
I recently responded to another user which was reporting the same thing. I've passed this info on to our engineering team. Thanks for letting us know.

HT6114 Delaying problem when switching desktop

After upgrading to Mavericks v10.9.2 Update my "Macbook pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013" is delaying when switching desktops or switching to mission control. An overall delay problems occured. I need help!

First off, I meant to title this "When switching spaces application window is not showing."
Just in case anyone else runs into this problem or any other weirdness with switching between spaces, the answer seems to be trashing the com.apple.dock.plist file and then restarting the dock. The preferences file can evidentially get corrupted and create some problems. Spaces does not have it's own plist file but stores it's data in the dock's plist file. Be warned that this will reset all of your dock preferences including which apps you have on the dock.

After installing the Security Update 2015-002 many system app icons have switched. How can I fix this?

I Installed the Security Update 2015-002 on March 13 on my 13-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2010) running Yosemite. However after it rebooted many of the system app icons have switched places. For instance: The delete button in finder has the icon for Full Screen (while others are just plain white). And the button for New Message in Mail now shows a search icon. Please see screengrab below.
IS there a way to fix this mess without having to manually change all this?

I have some new info on the issueI thought I'd share with you.
First of all, I've installed Photoshop CC on my SurfacePro (Windows 8) and do not have the lag issue there. It's very similar hardware to my MacBook Pro. So the issue must have something to do with my MacBook.
After a lot of tinkering I discovered that it is my 27" Thunderbolt Display that is causing the brush lag. When I unplug it and only use my built in 13" screen the brush lag is gone. Aha!
I tried every available option in the Performance section but nothing helped. Again, Photoshop CS5 with attached Thunderbolt Display doesn't have a brush lag issue.
I'd be interested to know everyone else's setup who is experiencing this problem.

Disable the sliding animation that occurs when switching desktops via command → or ← in Mountain Lion

I would like to disable the sliding animation that occurs when switching desktops via command → or ← in Mountain Lion. It gives me motion sickness!

No third party applications installed; no gestures changed. It just starts acting up like I described a few times a day. I'll be browsing the internet and go to switch desktops and it suddenly doesn't work.

I no longer receive notification or sound or even a badge app icon when receiving a text message, I have not made any changed to my sounds

How do I fix this, I no longer receive notification or sound or even a badge app icon when receiving a text message, I have not made any changed to my sounds, I've checked all the settings and everything is good, I powered off the phone and restarted, I synced it and still nothing, can anyone help?

Settings app > Notification Center > Messages (you will need to check both the INCLUDE and DO NOT INCLUDE sections). Set the alerts you wish to see.

Menu bar reloading when switching desktops

My Menu bar is reloading everytime I switch desktops.
It blinks off, then loads up each icon agin in order.
It is quite distracting.
Any ideas??
Thanks!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process ("SystemUIServer") in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

How to hide tray icon when in jframe

ITunes takes default focus when switching desktops (spaces)

This is more of a pet peeve than anything, but when I am swiping between desktops (spaces), and I return to my primary desktop, iTunes always takes focus.
99% of the time, I have switched from my web browser to mail (which I keep in another space) and when I return to open a new tab in the browser, iTunes preferences opens almost every time (command-T).
I would normally assume, or prefer, that the OS "remember" where I left off when switching spaces, and put me right back there when I switch back. Is there a way to force this?

You're totally right.
I've already tried to find the differences, but not accurately enough. I'll do it again.
Also, I've noticed another strange thing : even with my rc.lua broken, I have this issue. I think that with a broken rc.lua the default one is used, so it may not come from my configuration. if it doesn't, I have no idea...
I'll check again the other install and will tell you if I have something (but not before tuesday)
[Edit]
I've tried with the default rc.lua, and I indeed still have this issue.
For now, I have a workaround : I just add a small titlebar to every window, as if they were floating (cf very end of my rc.lua posted above).
But if someone has any idea to really fix it, I would be happy

Auto show/hide Plug-in when switching between patches in Mainstage 2

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have Mainstage 2 automatically reveal a plug-in when switching between patches. For instance, when switching to a Clav patch, have it reveal the EVD6 plug-in. Then, if you switch to a Rhodes patch, it automatically closes the EVD6 and reveals the EVP88.

As far as I know, no. I haven't found a way to do this. It would be useful in certain setups.

Sorting app icons when grouped?

As I don't like pages of app icons I've put the ones I don't need into a single group (like the apps page on most android phones), trouble is they just go in in the order you put them in and I want them in alphabetical order...is there an easy way to do this?

Try an alternate launcher. The stock launcher on most of Lenovo's tablets (you don't say which one you have) is terrible. I like Apex Launcher on my Yoga 10, but there's lots of launchers on the Play Store.

AIR app crashes when switching tabs

Hi there:
I posted in another forum about this, but it seems the issues
aren't really related, so a recap:

I am trying to run an AIR app which _crashes_ as soon as it
needs to access a file or files on the hard drive (via an HTML

the suggestions in
this
thread.
Attached code is a crash report.
Thanks!
The app can be found
here
The crash report can be found

The crash report has WebKit all over it; interstingly, when a
user reported installing the Safari 4 Beta recently, all crashing
stopped (that doesn't really make sense to me, but OK).

I have further input on this:
1) The crash occurs when the user switches tabs;
specifically, when the user switches from a tab which does _not_
contain an HTML component, to one which _does_ contain an HTML
component. Said HTML component looks for local content.
2) The crash occurs when the app tries to phone home to
Adobe; this phoning home appears to occur during item 1 above
_and/or_ when the app is launched.
Any help from above or insight appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Mirela:
It may be that the issue is a non-issue with AIR 1.5.1
(versus v1.5), so we'll see. Frustrating, nonetheless, especially
since it is a sporadic issue.
You can follow other users' experiences in the forum at
panosalado.com.
Thanks for taking the time to download it and try it out --
and for the feedback. Good to hear a positive! :)
Cheers,
Patrick

How can i hide the icons on my desktop

I have some folders that I placed on my desktop for now trying to organize them however I don't want to see the icons. How do I hide them.

This makes no sense to me. If you hide them how can you organize them. Please explain further what you are trying to accomplish.
You can open the desktop in the Finder and change the view to "list view"

IPad app crashes when switching to extra keyboard

Something I also experienced on my iPhone 4 (but don't now how I fixed that) now also happens on my iPad 3: I just added an additional (2nd) keyboard English to the original keyboard Dutch. And when I try to switch to it (via the 'globe' on the keyboard) the app crashes: for example when using the 'native' Apple app iMessage. How come and what can I do to solve this?

Try restarting or restoring the iPad.
