Launch app in empty desktop

I would like that every time i open a new application it opens in an empty desktop (or in a new desktop).
Is it possible?

Actually, my account's ability to bug report is corrupted. I used to get this nice page - http://imgur.com/kEd0o.png. After talking to Apple about it, I got this in an email a few months back:
"Apple Developer Bug Reporting:
Follow-up: 82804304
Hello Ryan,
Unfortunately I am unable to locate you in the directory to reset your account. At this point I will have to refer you to our DevPrograms Dept. for further assistance.
I do apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
E-mail to [email protected]
Web form at http://developer.apple.com/contact/
A list of telephone numbers has been provided at: http://developer.apple.com/contact/phone.html"
I never followed up with the DevPrograms Dept. Seems like a lot of work to try to convince someone at Apple to add friggin Delete button to the forum.
Getting off topic.
In your 5,000+ posts of wisdom, have you encountered a way to launch an app in the bkg?

Launch apps one at a time and disable iTunes at startup

Hey guys
I have two questions:
The first one is, is there any way to launch apps at Login but one after the other and not all at the same time? For instance, I would like to launch Adobe Ps, then Ai after Ps loaded, then Mail, and then others. Is this possible?
The second one is, how can I disable iTunes from launching at Login? I've checked my Starup Items and iTunes is not on the list. Also, I've right clicked the icon in the Dock and "Open at Login" is disable as well but it keeps launching every single time I start up my computer.
Any helps is much appreciated.

In my case, I do need to launch Adobe Ps, Ai and Br, Mail, iChat, Safari, Pages and Cinema 4D every single day for work. Almost everything opens up fast, but like you said, Adobe apps take a lot of memory so they take longer to open. I really hate waiting for these to open up, so I'm looking for a way to make them launch one at a time as soon as I get into the office while I take care of some paper work.
In that case I don't think you need to put in a delay in between the apps to make sure the next only opens after the earlier is finished. I open 5 apps every morning with no delay in between and it always goes smoothly and very fast. Try that first then you can go back and edit the workflow to add the pauses in if you need it.
Is Automator user friendly? I've never used it before. Is it very easy to understand and setup?
It's very user friendly. I've only made about 3 apps (each workflow can be saved as it's own application), the launching multiple application being the last one and it was very easy, took about 5 minutes to create. Of course, someone on here had told me how to do it so that made it very easy.
Unfortunately, I haven't upgraded to Leopard yet and it looks like the interface is very different from Tiger. In Tiger when you open Automator it gives you a list of applications on the left, click on one to select and it will then give you a list of actions available for that application just to the right of that. Double click on the action and it adds it in as your workflow in a large space on the right.
In this case the app I chose was Finder, then Launch Application action. When that is added to the workflow I then had a popup menu of all my apps in my Applications folder so I would just choose the one I wanted. There is even an Other at the bottom to choose an app from elsewhere in case you have any outside the main Applications folder.
To add the pause select Automator from the left hand list of apps and you get a new list of actions, double click on Wait For User Action, which it will put right under the app you are launching as the next step. You can then set the time for how long you want it to wait.
Then go back to Finder and Launch Application and repeat the process for each app you want to open. All the actions in the workflow can be dragged around as much as you want to create a different order.
Very simple. Leopard's interface works differently but I suspect you still need to choose Finder to get to Launch Application and Automator to get to Wait For User Action. Each app has it's own set of actions it can perform but they can all be added together for a workflow.
Then save it as an app and put it on your desktop, or where ever you want, so you can double click to run it then walk away until it's done. Even after saving it you can go back in and edit it at any time, if you wanted to take an app out or add one in, for instance, or want a shorter or longer pause time, etc.

OSX now crashes every hour. OSX apps like Dock, desktops, launchpad, finder, toolbar, etc become unresponsive, although sometimes non OSX apps (like Chrome, TextMate, etc) remain functioning briefly. No obvious reason or trigger

OSX now crashes every hour. For no obvious reason or trigger, suddenly OSX apps like Dock, desktops, launchpad, finder, toolbar, etc become unresponsive, although sometimes non OSX apps (like Chrome, TextMate, etc) remain functioning briefly, before the whole thing hangs and needs a hard reboot.
It is not apparent what I do to provoke the crash -- it happens while I am in seemingly any application, sometimes just reading a page and not taking any actions.
This started happening very suddenly two days ago. It might have happened around the time I updated ITunes but I'm not sure of this at all. And I never use ITunes or have it open.
Don't know how to diagnose the problem since nothing is accessible whence it freezes up on me. I tried software update, but problem continued after. Would appreciate troubleshooting advice. Thanks!

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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 "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
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 Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Launch Aurora in both desktop and modern views?

Is it possible to launch Aurora in both desktop and modern views simultaneously? When Aurora first introduced the modern view, launching from a taskbar shortcut on the Windows desktop still opened the desktop view, while launching from the Start screen tile launched the modern view.
Is this still possible?

The desktop and "Windows 8 Touch" (modern) app now share the same [[Profiles|profile]]. This means you now have access to the same bookmarks, history, saved passwords, etc. from both apps. However, because of a limitation of our profile system, you can't run both at the same time while they are sharing a profile.
However, you can run both at once if you first create a separate profile for each app:
# [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles|Start the profile manager]], create a profile named "desktop", then exit the Profile Manager.
# Create a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile shortcut] to launch Firefox with these command line arguments: -P desktop -no-remote
# Use the shortcut to launch Firefox using your "desktop" profile.
# Use the normal Firefox icon to launch a second copy of Firefox using your default profile.
# [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?|Set up Firefox Sync]] if you want the two profiles to have the same bookmarks and other data. (Treat the two profiles as two different "computers" while following the setup instructions.)
# In the default profile, use the "Relaunch in Windows 8 Touch" menu item to switch to the modern app.
I'm sorry this process is so complicated! We want to make it easier to use both applications at once, but we may need to make some very complicated changes to our code to make that possible, so it's not likely to happen quickly.
For more tips and documentation on working with profiles, see this community article about [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox Using multiple profiles].

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?
I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.

Looking for app to create Desktop groups/fences for OSX

Looking for app to create Desktop groups/fences for OSX..
I do music and like to keep my most important folders on my Desktop since I access them very frequently.. I saw that there's a few options out there like "Desktop Groups Lite" (link below):
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id561422617?mt=12
The only problem is that I'm reading a lot of reviews on it from users who are saying that their files/folders are going completely missing, etc.. And that's a big issue that I'm not ready to deal with, considering the importance of these folders to my work/career..
^This is a picture of what that "Desktop Groups Lite" app looks like.. and is pretty much EXACTLY what I'm looking for.. but I'm a little bit afraid of it "eating" my contents and losing them forever..
Does anybody have any recommendations or feedback for an app that can accomplish something like this?
Thanks!

Porting an iPhone app to a desktop app

I am new to objective C and Cocoa, and yet have managed to develop a pretty complex app for the iPhone.
Being lazy, I would like to also run this on a Mac Pro for instance, or other Mac computers/laptops.
Is there a simple way for me to "port" my iPhone app to the desktop?
Thanks.

Well its not necessarily easy, and you also have to think about rewriting your views for Mac OS X, and not the iPhone, and also keep in mind you have to have a completely different interface in Mac OS X compared to the iPhone. Note that something complex in a mobile device might not be complex at all on a full desktop environment. But considering you have already created the application for the iPhone, you know where your headed and have your objects planned out, and also saying that you can program Mac in the same coding language, it should be easier than scratch right?

After upgrading to Mavericks I can no longer drag an app from one desktop to another.

On Mountain Lion I could move apps from one desktop to the other by simple dragging them to the right which would transition to the next desktop. Now the only way I can do it is to use mission control. Anyone else seeing this?

I actually have the same problem, since I upgraded to Mavericks my MacBook Pro can't seem to find the Bose sounddock 10. Has anyone found a solution to this.
It still works with the iPhone 5
Thank you

I can no longer activate my CC apps on my desktop, whenever I try to sign in I get an error stating I'm offine or the clock is set incorrectly.

As the header states, since yesterday I can no longer activate Any CC app on my desktop. But on my Surface Pro 2, that is online using the same internet connection over Wifi, I can activate my apps just fine.
I switch between working on my tablet and desktop sometimes, and deactivating and activating my subscription on both worked just fine until yesterday.
I tried activating offline, but that doesn't seem to work either, because I can't get a Request code.
Thanks,
-Ronald

The CC is activated on two systems. Please go through the trouble shooting steps in :
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5

HT201272 My You Tube launcher app has disappeared from the home page and can't be found. How do I reinstate it?

The You Tube launcher app has disappeared from my home screen. How can I reinstate it?

The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version and there is Jasmine), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won't launch apps. When asked say "launch Facebook" Siri responds with "it doesn't look like you have an app named Facebook" and I get the same results when trying to launch any

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

I just downloaded an app to my desktop but it will not sync to my iPad

I have done this many times before and it worked fine. But today two apps I downloaded to my mac desktop and they show up in my list of apps on the desktop. But after I sync the iPad to my desktop it just goes throught he procedure of backing up and doesn't put the two new apps onto the iPad. And I checked that the operating system is compatable in the app requirements. How do I get them to transfer to the iPad? Thanks.

They are ios apps, sorry for not specifying. I just went to my iPad, then iTunes and they show up there. Under the apps it says "install' But when I do that it says the app requires ios 6.0 or later and only have 5.1.1. When I read the requrements on the app on the iTunes store on the computer it said it only required 3.1. Anyway, can I put ios 6.0 on an iPad 2 and more important will ios 6 slow down or not run smoothly on the iPad 2? Thanks.

Itunes store does not show on ipad when i launch app its pages are blank

itunes store does not show on ipad when i launch app its pages are blank

This indicates there might be an issue with the time configuration on the device.
Go to Settings > General > Date and time. See if Set automatically is switched to on. If so, switch to off and ensure you set date, time and time zone manually and correctly.
Power off the device (hold sleep button for four seconds, then slide to power off), then power back on.
If issue persists, switch Set automatically back to on, and if not resolved then restore the device.

Using SSL with client auth from a JNLP-launched app

We have an application that is launched by JNLP, and which needs to make a mutually authenticated SSL connection to a server. The client cert and trusted certs that it needs to do this are stored in the Sun\Java\Deployment\security directory where JNLP knows to look for them. And Java WebStart itself seems to be able to use these certs just fine. However, our app seems blithely unaware of the location of the keystore/truststore unless we explicitly set the system properties javax.net.ssl.keystore and truststore. But we don't want to do that (it could be different for different users), and we shouldn't have to do that. So the question is, how can we use the same KeyManager/TrustManager that Java WebStart itself is using? Are they somehow available for the JNLP-launched app to use?
Failing that, is there a way for a JNLP-launched app to query the deployment properties? There are a bunch of properties to direct the behavior of Java WebStart (see [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html]), such as deployment.user.security.trusted.cacerts. These don't seem to be System properties. Can the app see them, or are the "private" to Java WebStart itself?

HT202159 Problem with Update on It started, then the screen went white and the icons for the apps on the desktop were all blackened, 'waiting'. What now?

It showed a number of apps to be updated on my iPad, so I clicked 'update all' as usual. It started, then the screen went white. The icons for the apps on the desktop went black, as they do, with the first one half way around the little circle timer, and two marked 'waiting', with others not that far into the process. They all stopped. Now I can't stop the update process in the App Store, or use any of the apps. What do I do next? Help, please!

Hello there, Rev Susi.
From what I can gather you have a few apps that only display "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
