Items get stuck between desktops

Does anyone else have a problem with items getting 'stuck' between desktops so that you can see them as you move between desktops, but can't access them?
I created an e-mail by dragging a photo to the Mail icon in the dock, but nothing happened so I repeated the exercise. Still nothing happened. I then created the e-mail by copying and pasting the photo into a new blank e-mail and thought nothing more about it. But now, when I swipe between desktops, I can see the two e-mails, complete with photos but no text, straddling two desktops but can't click on them to delete them. If anyone else has experienced this,have they found a way to access the items?

I've found the answer to my own question in an answer by Captfred last year! I right clicked on the Finder icon in the dock, assigned the Finder to "None" desktops and then found lots more things that were hiding between desktops!

I've seen this a few times when Finder was assigned to "all desktops". If this is the case, right click (cntl click) the dock icon > options > assign to none.

Does anyone have an issue where your apps get stuck between transitions?

Sometimes when I go and close my apps from the multitasking screen, the ones on my home screen get stuck between transitions. The way to get them to line up right is to swipe the home screen a few times. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

It's not an actual issue - your iPad is running slow as it attempts to close out the apps and free up the memory they were using. If you give it a few seconds it'll catch up and be back to normal.
Which brings up the question - why close the apps this way? There is no need to close any apps from that screen unless they are locked up or caught in a loop that's destroying battery. Otherwise, iOS takes care of all memory and space management with no intervention from the user.

Label of items get 'stuck' on the items....

Hi everybody,
I have upgraded Oracle 6i Forms to Oracle Forms 10g v10.1.2 . The peculiar matter is that in the upgraded 10g forms almost 60-70% of the labels of all items (display , text items) get stuck on the upper side of these kind of items...., altough in Forms 6i the labels were not stuck on the items......
Is there a bug or something i can do except for modifying the X position of the labels manually...?????
NOTE: In Forms Builder the gap is significant almost as it is in Forms 6i..The problem appears at runtime....
thanks , a lot
Simon

I am using Firefox. The boxes show up no matter if I sign out and sign back in or not and flash has been updated and it still occurs. I've attached an image to show you what it looks like. I've minimized my form to show that the box continues to stay in place. (My form is a lot longer than what screen capture allows me to show and there are more randomly placed text boxes further down the page.)

Muse/business catalyst: opera mini / opera mobile gets stuck in desktop view

After visiting a muse site and switching to desktop view, Opera Mini continues to serve it up even when reverting the original URL:
1. Create a site site.com with a mobile and desktop view.
2. Provide link to get from mobile to desktop.
3. Open site with opera mini. The mobile view loads.
4. Click the link to get to the desktop view. Muse redirects to something like site.com/phone/index.html?devicelock=phone
5. Put in the URL for the original site, eg. site.com.
6. Now, when you go to site.com, the URL resolves to the desktop site. Incorrectly.
7. Try clearing the history and cache in opera mini -> same result.
8. Go to explicit link to phone site. Then go back to base URL site.com. Still resolves incorrectly to desktop site.
It appears Muse is not supporting opera mini / mobile responsively, please advise.

That's not quite correct. Please see step #8 above. Even if I follow a "go to phone site" link with a "devicelock=phone" parameter, it may take me to the phone site, but default navigation remains stuck on desktop, when I put in the site URL. If your understanding of the design is what you described, then the actual behavior is not in alignment. I would appreciate you passing that on to the engineers.
Even with the design you describe, there is a problem considering the following use case:
1. User views phone site on their flip phone.
2. User attempts to load desktop site. Site loads, but is not viewable on mobile device.
3. User wants to revert to phone site and does not have ability to click a link, so they go back to the referring page or e-mail which contains ... the original site URL.
After the user clicks desktop link, the site is lost to them, unless they can figure out how to (and agree to) kill all their cookies.

Widgets get stuck on desktop.

What the....??
I just replaced my battery and now widgets are getting stuck in my desktop. Seriously! How do I fix this, it is so strange.

Widgets can be moved to the desktop if you accidently dismiss Dashboard while dragging the widgets from the widget "shelf." To remove these widgets, hold down the option key and click your mouse inside the widget -- an "x" in a circle should appear in the top left corner of the widget. Clicking the x will close the widget and remove it from your desktop.

Windows stuck "between" desktops

I am trying to open a new finder window with two desktops active. The window doesn't appear on either desktop, but does appear briefly when switching between desktops using Control arrowkey. I've had this happen with programs as well. I had Spaces active when I did my upgrade and this is like "ghost" spaces, stuck in the netherworld of cyberspace. Sorry, I'm showing my love for scifi. How do I fix this?

I've seen this a few times when Finder was assigned to "all desktops". If this is the case, right click (cntl click) the dock icon > options > assign to none.

Finder stuck "between" desktops

I have a problem with a new iMac running OSX 10.7.3.
I have Finder assigned to Desktop 1. Occassionally I will click on Finder in the dock and no Finder window appears (and I am not taken to Dekstop 1). When I page back and forth between Desktops the Finder window will appear for an instant just before the sliding-left-and-right graphic effect is finished. It's as though the Finder window is stuck in Limbo between the legitimate Desktops, or has no Desktop... Going manually to Desktop 1 I see that Desktop 1 is empty - no Finder window.
Anyone ever seen this?
I can go to Terminal and killall Finder, which fixes it for a few days, but I'd love to have a real fix.

I've seen this a few times when Finder was assigned to "all desktops". If this is the case, right click (cntl click) the dock icon > options > assign to none.

WorkFlow: Work Item getting stuck in requestor's inbox after resubmitting

Hi all,
There is a form which has to get approved for further processing. When the requestor submits it for approval, the workitem goes into the approver's inbox. There are three approvers. When one of the approvers rejects it, it goes back to the requestor's inbox. Now the requestor changes the form and resubmits it again. But now, it won't go from that inbox to the approver's inbox.
Could anyone tell me how to debug this kind of a workflow scenario? What transactions should I be using to find out what's going on here? I'm a bit new to WorkFlow.
Thanks.

Hi Kinna,
What work item is this? Did you check the workflow log/ overview for any errors?
Regards,
Suresh Datti
P.S. You will probably get a bettr response if you psot this question on the Business Process Management (BPM) forum.

Finder tabs get stuck on desktop when dragging out

Hello everyone
After the Mavericks update I had some trouble with the new Finder tabs feautures. Whenever I drag a Finder tab and release it on the desktop it seems like it is going to dissapear but during the animation out it freezes. I have attached two screenshots of my desktop where you clearly can see the problem. Does anyone have an idéa how to fix this?
Thank you
Yours sincerenly

Hi,
MBPro Retina, me too as well… … (and this is not the only one problem I have with the Mavericks Finder).
I fear that this is due to some "extra" application or prefs … but I have not idea which one.
I suspect this because me too, logging with another "clean" user account I have not this problem.
But neither quitting all extra applications or booting in Safe boot does not solve anything.
Annoying.

HT201401 After updating to ios7, my iphone 4s is hanging continuosly. It get stuck between apps. Sometimes apps stop responding..

My iphone 4s stop responding very frequently after updating to new software ios7. Sometimes it freezes while playing games or using any app. Apps closes by itself or stop responding. I dont know wats goin on. Totally frustrated. Ios7 *****. Is it due to new software update or something else???

Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries. How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone? Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it. It was a problem with iOS 7 and 8.1.1 doesn't fix it. The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work. I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today. At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer.

My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

My imac is doing strange things:
-delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
-it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
-and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.
I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error:
4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233
Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
Hope you get it taken care of!

Workflows stuck between steps not on steps

Hi
We have upgraded from 4.6 to version 6 and erp2005 portal. The problem we are having is that a few of our old workflows seem to get stuck between steps and not on the step itself. 2 examples, the old sub workflow for to lock employees gets stuck on the arrow in the graphic between 'find employee' and 'lock employee' similarly if a 'process control' sets a work item to 'obsolete' to cancel it the process cancels the work item but does not fully exit the obsolete process branch and is stuck there on the arrow in the swi1 graphic. The workflow status is 'In Process' no errors are given.
Any ideas? Are there maybe notes that have to be implemented to correct a bug in the system?
Maximum points awarded for this. Thanks!

Hi Lyndon Bell,
<b>Updating Workflows</b>
1. Changes to a productive workflow definition require a new version. The next workflow instance will be started using the new version
2. Reactivate workflow after a definition change
3. Running workflow instances are completed with the version with which they were started
4. If you change a productive workflow definition, you should always consider creating a new task instead of a new version
5. INITIAL Configuration SWU3
6. What Does It Take to be a Workflow Administrator?
A.Understanding of the business processes
B. Understanding of the Workflow system
C. Working knowledge of ABAP
D. Access to OSS is a must!
E. Repeat after me
Its not a workflow problem
7. Check with All these transactions:
Transaction SWI2_Freq (Workitem Reporting)
Transaction SWI5 (Workflow Analysis)
Transaction SWU0 (Simulate Event)
Transaction SWEL (Event Log Display)
Transaction SWU6 (Task Consistency Check)
Transaction SWUD
Transaction SWI2_DIAG (Error Overview)

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Workflow stuck between 2 steps

Hi ,
I have a workflow which is getting stuck between the two steps, not at any particular step and in one of the instances the workitem number of the previous step is showing zero. I checked ST22 but there are no related dumps. Can some one advise on this scenario.
Thanks,
Vikas

Hi,
>>I have a workflow which is getting stuck between the two steps, not at any particular step>>
What do you mean by not at any particular step? by the way, what is the current status of your workflow? and also current status of last step in your workflow?
Make sure All Basic Workflow Customizations are correctly set, check SWU3 and correct if any problems there.
Good Luck !!
Regards
Krishna Mohan
