I would like to open different Safari windows in different Spaces

I would like to be able to open different Safari windows in different Spaces. They guy at the Apple store told me this was impossible, but I am 99% sure that I accidentally had it working this way before I realized what Spaces was, but now that I have set my Spaces preferences, I cannot get it to work for me.
Ideally, my husband could use one space - he only uses Safari. And I could use the other Spaces for my various applications, including Safari.
Any suggestions appreciated!

I do it as follows.
I don't have Safari assigned to any (or all) spaces. I don't have the little checkbox checked at the bottom of Spaces preferences ("When switching to an application...").
In a given space I click on Safari in the dock. This makes it the active application. Of course, if a window is already open in that space it will come to the front. But suppose there isn't a window open. I then ask for a new window (via the File menu, or via command-n). Voila. That window is in that space. You can do this in any space and the windows stay where you created them.
(A shortcut is simply to control-click on the Safari dock icon and select "New Window".)

    My original iPad takes about 5 long seconds before responding to my finger tap in the safari window. Like I tap in Safari window, then count 5 seconds before I can begin typing my search words. Is this normal? I really don't remember it taking so long when I bought it, but it has been this way for awhile. I have closed all open apps many times to no avail. I just reset all settings and still 5 seconds. I don't have a lot on my iPad with plenty of free space available. Also, I have to click twice on many things that typically take one click. Like it highlights it with first click, then second click completes the action that normally would be done in one click, like Facebook like button. Like will underline with click one, then will change to like on second click. Do I need to try to restore from my computer?
    Thanks for any help!

    Ive tried that but when Im logged in I dont have all the permmisions I should have so it just runs the test for my usernames own little virtual world.  Ive been using macs for over a decade now and I have never had my computer do anything like this. while sitting in front of my screen I watched the mouse go to some personal files and change the permissions and then covered their tracks by changing the timestamp on the file dates back. I watched it happpen while all internet conections were off.  I had my identity stolen, my facebook password changed, my email accounts closed out. and my firmware password changed all within two weeks of the origninal boot date

  • I would like to disable the small window that has started coming in with incoming Mail

    Hi,  I would like to disable a small window that has started arriving whwn I get incoming mail.  That is, when I open the message, it displays on the right screen, but also there is a small page/window that appears with the message to the left.  Thanks for any suggestions.  Using the new Mavericks 10.9 MBP.

    The small window sounds like a Notification. You can turn it off with:
    System preferences > Notifications > Mail. Select none.
    I'm not sure what you mean about the small page/window thing. Maybe you can take a screenshot of the mail window and post it here. Check out the options in Mail > View

  • I would like to open a second iTunes account in another country, but still maintain my original Canadian account.  I have read the advice regarding signing out of the original account,and then signing in and setting up a new account.  but will I still be

    I would like t open a second iTunes account for a different country, but still be able to access my original account. It was not clear inthe documentation I read on this subject if this was indeed possible - using the signing out/in, create new account procedure.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

    My Safari is no longer working with many sites.  However Chrome and Firefox work fine.  I would like to re-install Safari in an effort to clear up the problem I can not resolve.

    1. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    2. Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Test.
    3. If the above steps don't resolve the problem, please describe it in more detail.

  • How do I Open Multiple Safari Windows on iPad 2?

    Prior to iOS 5, I was able to open multuple Safari windows.  Now it's one window with a handful of tabs.
    How do I open multiple windows?

    Tho old view of several thumbnails has been replaced by tabs. There is no way to view the thumbnails in Safari under iOS 5. Try looking at some alternate browsers in the app store to see if any of those might suit your wants a little better.

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • Looking to run windows on my MBPro through Bootcamp or Parallels, but would like to use a downloaded Windows 7, is it possible to install without the Windows Disc?

    Looking to run windows on my MBPro through Bootcamp or Parallels, but would like to use a downloaded Windows 7, is it possible to install without the Windows Disc?
    Need to set up a workstation on my MBPro that will only run on Windows. Im willing to use Bootcamp or Parallels to see what works best. Need to get this set up this week to enable working from home on my MB - rural and hoping to buy Windows 7 online - am I able to get windows working through either bootcamp or Parallels without the actual Windows disc? Bootcamp set up guide calls for a disc.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, the answer to your question is yes, it IS possible to install Windows in Parallels without a disc, using an .iso image file.
    Boot Camp since OS X 10.8 also installs Windows without a disc: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4889551?tstart=0
    Parallels has complete documentation, series of forums, and a knowledgebase. You can also download the current release of Parallels 9 and try it for free for a few weeks before you decide to purchase it.
    The Parallels Desktop for Mac product page: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
    The Desktop for Mac forums: http://forum.parallels.com/forumdisplay.php?58-Parallels-Desktop-for-Mac
    Documentation: http://www.parallels.com/support/desktop-virtualization/desktop/#c12970
    The Knowledgebase for Desktop for Mac: http://kb.parallels.com
    The primary difference between a Boot Camp installation and a Parallels installation is that in the Boot Camp installation, you're installing Windows into a separate partition on your internal mass storage device (hard drive or SSD) and then rebooting your Mac directly into Windows.
    In Parallels, you're always running OS X on the Mac and Parallels is running a Windows virtual machine.
    Not to get too technical here, but it is also possible for Parallels to run an installed Windows Boot Camp partition as a virtual machine. If you're evaluating system performance with a trial copy, that might be the way to go, because you only have to install Windows once on Boot Camp as a dual-boot system, then install Parallels Desktop and run the Boot Camp partition as the virtual machine.
    There is a performance difference between the two, with the Boot Camp Windows installation being faster, but without the convenience of running both Mac and Windows applications simultaneously offered by Parallels. Sometimes that convenience outweighs a performance hit.
    I can't give you more Mavericks and Parallels 9 specifics, because I'm currently running Windows 7 with Parallels 7 on OS X 10.8.5. Parallels 7 will not run on OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    I've been using Parallels (to run a few old rarely-used WIndows applications with features that would require a steep learning curve and major expense to purchase and learn a similar Mac app) occasionally since Parallels 3 and Windows XP. With each new release of OS X, each new release of Parallels, and each new Windows release, there are ALWAYS 'early adopter' bugs that get worked out over time.

    I would like to upgrade my safari.  I have a Mac 10.8.5. Safari is 4

    Hi Sally246,
    The version of Safari you use comes with the Mac operating system. With a computer capable of running Mac OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) you can also run Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) which comes with Safari version 8.0.

  • HT202667 I would like to open a new itunes account with an existing email

    I would like to open a new iTunes account using an existing email address. How can I do that?

    Hi,
    Thanks for providing more information on what you're trying to accomplish.  If you want to create an Apple ID, the email cannot be associated with a pre-existing Apple ID account.  Why are you trying to create another Apple ID?  If you just want to change your Apple ID, you can simply change the primary email account.

  • OSX: I would like DW opens on the 2nd screen

    I use DW CS5 on a MacBook Pro with a 2nd monitor connected.
    I would like DW opens on the 2nd screen (because it's much bigger) and so used the MacBook screen for my browser tests.
    But I can not find the way to move DW to 2nd screen.

    Not really.  You are thinking like Einstein was thinking when he wanted  his kitten to go in the small hole he drilled specifically while the kitten's mum had her own big hole.  To his surprise both went through the same big hole and he said what a waste of time drilling the small hole!!!!
    You haven't said how you have connected the two monitors.  Are you using some switches like KVM switches that can do the job most efficiently? <http://www.kvms.com/Product/GCS78.aspx>
    There must be some cheap ones in your area so just shop around.
    Alternatively, Just connect one monitor (big one) to your machine which you work on and to view your pages you will need to upload the files somewhere so that your other machine can connect to them using the browser like any other websites.  You need two machines to do this, of course!
