HT4689 How to stop Mission control from adding Desktops??

Personally, have not had and don't now have any use for Mission Control or any such "innovations."
After 6 years of happy Mac I find all sorts of things some kid thinks I need.
Mail has moved into a Desktop of it's own.  I don't know what I did to have that happen; but, I  have been unable to change it back although I have read the so-called documentation. 
As usualit that tell all we CAN do, (sales pitch) but not HOW!!
Will appreciate your help.  Saves another call to Applecare.
Ed

I asume you have tried this in a similar situation so I appreciate your replying.
It is full screen and when I clicked the link - I got a very small icon in the center of a large black window  apparently supposed to be a screen shot(png).
The drag to the desired Desktop had been tried repeatedly proving myself to be the fool.  I have practically worn out ctrl ↑ but the 'drag' is only left or right and when placed over my Desktop (THE ONLY ONE I WANT) it just bounces back to the right.  It will NOT drag down to the large window of the "Original."
Why we have come to the place that everyone seems to know what every one else SHOULD have or think, I don't know.   I am blessed to have lived through a better time.    I  luckily retired before our clients realized my lack of smarts as a PE..
Is there some way to delete Mission control??  I was able to control my mission just fine without it.
I do appreciate help and the knowledge that you and others have ..

    is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop.  Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

    I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
    I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
    Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
    This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
    Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
    I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

  • Stop Mission Control from re-arranging my applications

    I am using a MacBook Air late 2013, (Mavericks 10.9) with 2 external screens.
    I use Mission Control a lot and the OS is constantly re-arranging my opened apps based on most recent use.
    I unchecked that option in the settings already, but it still doing it
    Are there any other settings I need to take care of?
    Thanks

    There's a System Preference in Mission Control for that:
    System Preferences > Mission Control > (uncheck) Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use

  • Stop Mission Control from Switching Screen on App Launch

    I do development on my Mac, and use Mission Control to have a bunch of different spaces. I have it configured to display web browsers all on a specific space (call it my "browser space").
    Part of my work process involves running functional tests via Selenium, which spawns off multiple web browsers as it runs tests. I'd like to be able to do work in other spaces while it's running, but every time a new browser is spawned, I get violently ganked back to my browser space.
    I have tried checking/unchecking the "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" to no avail.
    It's really frustrating. Is there an easy fix to this?

    If you don't have an application bound to a space, then it should launch it in the space you're in.
    If you *do* have an appliation bound to a space, it's going to switch.
    Don't bind many applications to spaces, and you should lessen this frustration.

  • How to stop the calendar from adding reminders?

    I have had a problem with events randomly having an alert assigned to them. These are events that have never had a reminder set to them before, the reminder is always set to 9am the day before the event, and is on events that repeat. I can go in a remove the reminder, but by the next time the event occurs, the reminder is back. This has only started with the last software update. Any ideas?

    I am constantly finding that Calendar Version 8.0 thinks it knows what I want to type but it incorrectly takes numbers and days and times out of my input and changes my appointments. I hate this new supposedly "smart" feature. Even when I edit my event correctly a second or third time it rewrites my input incorrectly again. I have to use my iPhone to override the annoying editing on my mac. I am ready to find a new calendar program unless Apple allows users to input what they want without their information being incorrectly edited.

  • How to stop PR creation from PM work order for a particular vendor?

    Hello Experts,
    We have following scenario for breakdown maintenance activities.
    When a machine breaks down, a breakdown order is created in SAP. The external manintenance services are planned in the order. When the order is released, a single PR (with multiple item numbers corresponding to number of services) is created by SAP. The PR has a release strategy. When PR is released, PO is created followed by the SES.
    The practice followed AS -IS for breakdown outside business hours:- If the breakdown happens outside business working hours, the person releasing the PRs is not available & hence PR can not be released resulting in no PO & no subsequent SES.
    In this case, the maintenance is completed by the external agency & the work order is TECO. The next day, TECO is reveresed, new PR is created, released, converted into PO, & then SES.
    TO-BE process:- Client expects that, for certain vendors identified, PR should not get created at all from the breakdown order. (The list of  vendors will be maintained seperately). For these vendors, a framework order will be created at the start of fiscal year & SES will be created as & when required agaainst the framework order.
    My concern is :- How to stop PR creation from PM work order for a particular vendor? OR delete the created PR?
    Highly appreciate your quick response.
    Thank you.

    Dear Amit
    I am giving a different dimension to your question check if it fulfills your requirement -
    As we know Vendor selection comes at a later stage only after your PR creation, approval & RFQ etc. & PR generation from maintaine. order is controllled through control key PM03.  While triggering PR from order you have to specify Material group, Purchase group and vendor. Try to control it through authorisation as all these are authorisation objects. The persons executing breakdown order shall no t be given this authoriations

  • How to stop Time Machine from backing up Temp Files?

    Hi folks!
    I am trying to find out how to stop Time Machine from constantly backing up 'useless' temporary files accumulated from web browsing? Although I don't change or add large files to my HD, Time Machine backs up hundreds of MBs every hour. Those file amounts make sense when I consider that I browse a lot to YouTube, SoundCloud, etc to watch videos or listen to music - I just don't want them to be backed up.
    Under Time Machine Options I already excluded the following items from backups:
    ~/Library/Caches
    /Library/Caches
    ~/Downloads
    But even though I did this weeks ago, Time Machine stills finds large files to be backed up every hour and my only guess is that I am still missing a location where either Safari or Firefox - the two web browsers I use - store temporary files.
    Can you help?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Are you sure you need that? There are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero.
    If you're running Windoze on your Mac, that's the same as running it on a PC, so it needs all the same anti-everything stuff you'd use on a PC.
    There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt).
    Appropriately enough, some of these Trojans are included in pirated versions of Apple software, such as iWork!
    For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].
    Thanks a lot again!
    You're quite welcome, and thanks for posting back.

  • How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

    I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
    while a dialog is showing.
    When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
    I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

    If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
    Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
    if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
    JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
    JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
    ... code here ...
    As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

    How  to stop  the users from changing User Profile

    Hai,
    It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
    If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

    How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

    It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.
