How can I control which display my dock displays on?

When I boot my MacBook Pro, the dock starts on my MacBook screen, but if I use my Thunderbolt display a lot, the dock suddenly jumps over there, where I don't want it. How can I force the dock to go back to my laptop screen and stay there?

This is a new feature in Mavericks.  Each display now can have a “separate space.”  This allows one to access the menu bar and dock on any screen.  It also means application windows will start on the screen that is active (a feature I don’t like).  It enables a display to be in full-screen mode (e.g. for showing a movie) while the other screens are in normal mode.
If you don’t like these features and prefer the Mountain Lion common display space you can disable separate spaces.
System Preferences > Mission Control > Displays have separate spaces > Uncheck the box.

  • IOS obviously allows only 10 Apps to be Chosen in The "Open in" function. How can I control which Apps ( if more than 10 are installed) can be selected?

    iOS obviously allows only 10 Apps to be Chosen in The "Open in" function. How can I control which Apps ( if more than 10 are installed) can be selected?

    I think that is influenced by the order in which the apps are installed on the iPad (I believe that it's the most recent 10 ?) - but as I haven't got more than 10 apps that support any document/file type I can't check.
    If you want to able to edit the list, then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • When opening a Photoshop file with Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file wil

    When opening a Photoshop file fthrough Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file will open in?
    I store my PSD files adjacent to the original RAW file from which it was derived.
    If I open the file folder and double click on that PSD file, it opens in CS6. But,if I use Bridge (CS6) to navigate to and open the same file, it first opens Photoshop CS5 and then opens that PSD file in CS5.
    How can I control which Photoshop will open a file I select when opening it through Bridge?.

    Interesting, but it doesn't give a clue what I'm supposed to do. No Photoshop ducuments listed.
    Look at the PSD file on the location Curt provided and search for Photoshop Document. Next to it ideally should show Adobe Photoshop CS6 if you have Bridge CS6 open. Click on it to provide the fly out menu and choose the correct Photoshop from the list.
    But probably something went wrong with your install. By default Bridge chooses the latest version of PS to open its file in.
    Maybe a reset of the preferences might also help you. Can you provide more details about OS version etc.
    And do you have a good reason for keeping your Raw and finished files in the same location. Personally I keep them apart and use a proper file name convention (yyyymmdd and details) so I can easily search for the DNG files in my archive if I needed them but I don't make mistakes in opening the wrong one

  • How do I know/how can I control which video card a particular application uses?

    Hey there--
    Simple question: I have the ATI Radeon HD 2600 256 MB and the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1536 MB installed via PCIe ports on an early 2008 Mac Pro. I've decided for a multitude of reasons that I'd like my displays to be plugged into the HD 2600, but I want certain applications-- Final Cut, games, etc-- to use the FX 5600. How can I be sure that this is happening? Is it possible? Will more intensive applications automatically utilize the proper card?
    Thanks much.

    Yes, it means the 7970 requires 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 pin. The Mac Pro supplies 2 x 6 pin, which is 75 Watts each.
    So Mac Pro can supply 75 Watts from PCIe slot and 2 x 75 Watts from 2 x 6 pin for the total of 225 Watts.
    The 7970 requires more than 225 Watts. There are people that run these cards from internal power and say the additional power pulled over the traces on the Mainboard won't damage the board, but I've seen several reports of burned out Mainboards and more commonly the PSU just shuts the Mac Pro down hard for safety reasons. Remember: the 2 x 6 pin ports power runs over traces(!) on the board, not over cables. If you over tax them this is a lot more dangerous as with cables.
    It's up to everyone to decide for themself if they want to risk running cards above the power provided by the Mac Pro.
    The safe way is always to go for 2 x SATA to 1 x 6 pin adapter and 2 x 6 pin to 1 x 8 pin adapters and provide the power for 7970 / R9 280x or GTX 780 in the Mac Pro like that. Or get an external / additional PSU for power hungry GPUs. That works, too.
    But you will obviously lose 2 x SATA ports. I run eSATA with RAID5 anyway, since RAID5 in the Mac Pro is too much of a hassle.
    Of course all that matters if it works in the end. But official power specifications are a matter you shouldn't take too lightly.

  • How can I control which apps use cellular data?

    Sometimes I marvel at Apple's amazingness and sometimes I can't believe the holes.  Googling around I get the impression that iOS/iPhone provides no means for a user to take control of their data plan and set which apps are permitted to use cellular data and to track cellular data usage on an app by app basis.  Am I the only one that finds it unbelievable that an operating system designed for a cell phone that supports adding piles of sometimes sketchy 3rd party apps doesn't have this baked right in?  There seem to be a few apps try monitor overall aggregate data usage, but they are useless at getting to the root cause.
    So, I hope I'm just missing it.  How do I figure out which broken, buggy, misconfigured app I stupidly installed is eating my data plan?  Maybe Android is a better choice for guys like me that are too busy to play whack a mole uninstalling and reinstalling apps for hours and days to try to solve such a tedious mystery.
    Thanks!

  • How can I control which email FaceTime uses?

    When my daughter uses FaceTime from her Mac, both my wife's and my iPads ring.  She would like to be able to choose to FaceTime just one of us at a time.  When she initiates the call from her Mac, she chooses my wife's email address, but I also get the call even though that address is not entered in my iPad's FaceTime settings as an address that I can be reached at.  The same happens if she tries to call just me, my wife also gets the call.  My wife and I have no email addresses listed on our FaceTime settings in common.  The thing we do have in common is an Apple ID with the credit card we share, so all purchases are done through that Apple ID.  My wife has a separate Apple ID on her iPad for everything else though.
    Any ideas on how to allow my daughter to choose which of us that she'd like to contact?

    For Apple IDs, we have:
    My iPad:  [email protected] (this is our shared account with credit card for purchases)
    Wife's iPad:  [email protected]
    Daughter's Mac:  daughter [email protected]
    We don't have iPhones, so there are no phone numbers in our settings for how we can be reached.  None of us share the same email addresses in our "You can be reached at" settings.  My wife had her work email address there, along with her AppleID address, but the work email said "verifying" next to it, but that has probably said that for years.  My daughter tried that email, and my wife's Apple ID emails, and every time my iPad also rang.  Even after my wife completely removed her work email, my daughter was able to make a FaceTime call to that address and got both of us.
    I appreciate your help on this, but these were what I thought were obvious settings to check and already checked them all.  What seems to be obvious to both of us, is not working.  Weird.

  • How can i control the duration of the display of a text caption?

    I have five buttons on the screen. I wish to realize this: click on any of the button, a corresponding text caption will appear and stays for 5 seconds, or until next button is clicked.
    Can someone tell me how to realize this?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Tried this out, seems to work:
    create a user variable v_start that will store the number of the first frame
    create an advanced action Start, to be triggered on entering the slide, with two statements:
    Assign v_start with rdinfoCurrentFrame
    Continue
    create the 5 text captions and set them to invisible, I labeled them TC_One, TC_Two, TC_Three, TC_Four, TC_Five; they should start from the beginning of the slide and timed for 5secs
    create the 5 buttons, each of them will trigger an advanced action
    create the advanced actions One, Two... Five to be triggered by the buttons, with those statements (here example for action One):
    Show TC_One
    Hide TC_Two  
    Hide TC_Three
    Hide TC_Four
    Hide TC_Five
    Assign rdcmndGotoFrame with v_start    this will send the playhead to the first frame, and text caption will show up for 5 secs
    Continue

  • How can i control which iView gets updated when a nav node gets clicked?

    Hello,
    Following setting: the content area of the desktop inner page inside the default frameworkpage usually consist of just one iView.
    But what happens when there are 3 iViews inside? How do i have to call the pageloader which of the 3 iViews should get updated when a nav node of the detailed navigation is clicked?
    Thanx

    Hi
    Since you will be using the Merger Id property, they will be linked to a single link in navigational area.
    Refreshing a page / clicking the link in navigation Pane will result in refreshing of all the iViews.

  • How can I control Updates? (i.e Display Name, First Name, etc)

    Hello,
    I've noticed that if a user is revoked in resource object A, when one of his properties changes (i.e Display Name), the form of that application isn't updated.
    However, if he is in "Provisioned", "Manually cancelled",... then the form gets updated.
    I'd like to limit the updates to resource objects where the user is either in Provisioned, Enabled or Disabled state. Is there a simple way to do this? I would think there would be a lookup to define something like this.
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I tell which display hardware is installed on my powerbook G4 using the serial number?

    I have an old Powerbook G4 with no OS on it, and would like to install Linux.  Using the serial number, how can I find which display hardware is installed?

    Do you mean how to find the manufacture of the LCD display itself, or the video hardware config on the logic board?
    Finding the code for the vendor who made the display requires an OS because it is accessed through the Terminal app.
    If your serial number starts with "W8" and you are having lines show up, that is a known problem associated with the plant in Shanghai China. It also affected a large number of G5 iMacs. Only a new display will fix it and that probably costs more that any used G4 Powerbook is worth on the used market.

  • How can I control a button from one swf file to another swf file?

    Hi,
    I have a main.swf file. From that file I am accessing the external.swf file which is an external file.
    Now, how can I write code on my main.swf file for the button which is on my external.swf file?
    Activities.MainPanel.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
    Activities.MainPanel.close_btn (This buttons is actually on external.swf file, but I want to write code on main.swf file to execute it on external.swf) how can I control one swf button on other swf file?
    Thanks.

    Here's some example code that you should be able to adapt to your needs.
    // create a new loader object instance...
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    // make the download request...
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
    // add a complete event listener to the loader
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    // start the actual loading process...
    loader.load(request);
    // create a new empty movieClip instance, you will put the loaded movie into this movieClip once its loaded
    var externalMovie:MovieClip;
    // this function is called when the download has finished and the file is ready to use...
    function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
       // set the contents of the loaded movie to the new empty movieClip...
               externalMovie = MovieClip(event.target.content);
       // add this new movie to the display list...
       addChild(externalMovie);
    Now you can refer to the loaded movie with the instance name "externalMovie". So if, for instance, you want to address a button in the loaded movie, you could write something like this on the main timeline:
    externalMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
    function btnClickClose(event:MouseEvent):void {

    HI,
    If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, launch Adobe Reader. From the Menu Bar, click Adobe Reader/Preferences. Select the Internet category...the top option is the one you want. Uncheck the box to make sure Adobe doesn't keep making itself the default reader.
    You might also need to open /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and delete Adobe's PDF viewer plug-in.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.
