Mac OS X spaces

Hello everyone,
Just one guy from China, I have a...well is not exactly a question, more like a suggestion!
So I don't know if everyone use the SPACES function?
Well I just want see, it is a great ideal, but when we work in different languages in different spaces, actually we cannot!
cause once you chosen one language for whole work and in an other space you want work on other language....we are stucked.
So I just hope that Apple can fix this problem.
Thanks all of you~

>So I don't know if everyone use the SPACES function?
Initially when I heard about it, I thought great, it makes a lot of sense. Then when I started telecommuting to my work machine that had two screens, I decided to get a second screen for my Mac, and found the spaces function was needed much less. I'm sure if I only used one screen I'd find more use for Spaces.
>Well I just want see, it is a great ideal, but when we work in different languages in different spaces, actually we cannot!
This sounds more like a bug. Since I only use one language, I've never encountered this bug. As this is a user to user forum, you have one of a couple options:
1. Ask me to ask a moderator rename your topic "Spaces fails in multilingual setups", so others who have the same type of problem are more likely to see this thread and see if there is a workaround.
2. Go to http://developer.apple.com/ and sign up for a free online developer account, and post a bug report here: http://bugreporter.apple.com/ telling Apple what you expect to happen in the Spaces function, and see if you are not setting it right.
3. If your machine is under a year old, buy and call AppleCare, or under 90 days old, call AppleCare and ask if your setup is off.
4. Post feedback here, and hope enough other people have had the problem that Apple notices it to be one to be fixed when Lion gets released, or a followup patch to Lion gets released:

HT3275 EMERGENCY!!!!!!!! NEED TO RETREIVE AN ACCIDENTALLY DELETED BACKUP! BACK UP FROM MY TIME MACHINE DRIVE???? In other words, I emptied out a folder on my main MAC to make space and the next subsequent backup backed up the EMPTY FOLDER and then delet

EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!
IS THERE ANY WAY TO RETREIVE AN ACCIDENTALLY DELETED BACK UP FROM MY TIME MACHINE DRIVE????
In other words, I emptied out a folder on my main MAC to make space and the next subsequent backup backed up the EMPTY FOLDER and then deleted the "old backup" that actually contained the contents of the very important folder.
Now only the emptied folder exists on my MAC and in the two backups on my Time machine backup drive.
This was clearly a big mistake on my part not realizing that the "old backup" being deleted by Time Machine would include backed up files that I had no intention of getting rid of....
What can I do now?
Is DATA RETREIVAL even an option?
I am sure that the Folder of files that I need are on the most recently deleted "OLD BACKUP" but how do I get to this, if even possible?????
Super desperate situation here...

It may be possible to recover some of the data, if it hasn't been overwritten, but it won't be cheap or easy.
You've posted in the Time Capsule forum, but you mention a "backup drive." If your backups are on a Time Capsule's internal HD, instead of an external HD, it's even worse.
See Data Recovery.
Good luck.

I am trying to free my mac book for space. everytime i try to empty the deleted items in trash, it starts and stop without clearing the items. how do i empty the trash

I am trying to free my Mac book for space in oredr to upgrade. Everytime i try to empty the deleted items in the trash, it starts and stops immediately without clearing the items. How do i achieve this?

I had the same problem yesterday with an application file that was deleted after installation of an update. I used "Put Back" to move it back to its original location, then used "Show Package Contents" to delete/empty trash for small groups of files at a time. I suppose the application file itself may have been too large to empty at one time. I hope this helps.

Integrate Mac OX personal space in SAP Portal

Greetings Mac Master,
I'm trying to integrate the Mac OX personal space (Ical, blog, Wiki ...) into my SAP Portal by urls Ivew, but when i test my link i have the error message in the portal which says "the content can not be display in the frame".
But if i test by opening in a new windows it work, can you tell me if i miss somethings ?
Thank you all for your advises

Hello Erik,
Yes your are right, the solution was to edit the httpd_teams_required.conf file in the apache2 folder by changing the line :
Before:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set X-Frame-Options "SameOrigin"
</IfModule>
After :
#<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set X-Frame-Options "SameOrigin"
#</IfModule>
Before edit the line turn off the web services first, when it's done restart it.
Cheers.

The other section on my Mac's disc space is taking up all of my space!

Hello!
I'm having some major problems with my Mac's other memory (as you can see).
A few weeks ago, that yellow bar used to be pink (indicating Backups). At that point, I got the "Your startup disk is almost full." message, and after making sure all my files were backed up, I executed the sudo tmutil disablelocal command. After a few minutes, I checked back on my disk space, and it looked exactly as it does now (except that I've turned the local backups back on here to try and fix it). So what I think happened is that the delete was interrupted by something and the backups files are still there, but corrupt, so they are no longer viewed by the system as backup files.
Yesterday, I took it to the apple store and the genius I talked to told me to just remove some of my big files. For instance, I had a 20 GB Windows VM on the hard drive. So I followed his advice and bought a 1TB drive, on which I put the VM, along with some big programs and files. After those big files were gone, the yellow "other" bar made some progress (backwards, of course). But even moving the absolute biggest file on the machine (according to DiskInventoryX and OmniDiskSweeper) didn't change the majority of the bar. So that makes me think that there are some files that I don't have permission to see or use that are taking up my space. Here is a screenshot of my OmniDiskSweeper scan (that's it, I checked):
If you do the math (or just look at the title bar of the window) it says that I have 77.2 GB of space used up. Unfortunately, you have to realize that it actually didn't scan everything. The software's being honest: if it can't see a file, it takes up no space (0 bytes). For instance, take my users folder:
My users folder takes up 27 GB. But the admin, guest, and service accounts combined take up 0 bytes. No way. So one of those 0 byte folders must be the culprit. The question is, which one? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Mac information:
MacBook Air, 13 Inch, Mid 2012
Intel HD Graphics 4000
2 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor
8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory
OS X - 10.9.4 (Build 13E28)

ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

HT201364 i can install the os x because the is "You need 4.95 GB of available space to download OS X Mavericks. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space." however, my mac air his space . so how can i

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
In reality you will need a minimum of 12 GBs of free space to both download and install. Even then you still will need at least another 10 GBs free or a total of about 22 GBs.

Mac Book Pro space bar issue...

I just received my MBP and the space bar is very difficult to engage. This small thing makes typing an extreme test of patience.
I got it at Future Shop Canada two days ago. Should I call Apple Support or deal with Future Shop? It has taken a while to get here and I need it bad in the coming days. (I am a photography student and it is coming into portfolio time.)

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The space bar works, I have to press down hard on it for it to input. It seems really bad on the left side of it, to the point where it needs to be pressed firmly. I thought it was a mac thing (being a long time pc user) but my gf is a graphics designer and works on them all day, she said that it wasn't right.
The space bar doesn't seem to be mounted improperly, it is just not very sensitive. The fact that it has very little sensitivity on the left side as apposed to the right leads me to believe that it isn't just a software problem.
I hope that explains it. I am going to call apple in the morning. How long do these things usually take? I would hope to get it back fast after blowing $3300 on it.

Why does my mac move to space two when waking it from sleep??

what the heck, when I awake my Mac from the screen being black/sleep mode, it automatically jumps to my space 2. why is this? is this a Firefox issue? it's really aggravating!

System Preferences/Energy Saver - check to make sure Wake for network access isn't checked.
If that doesn't fix it, see this discussion for the post by Linc Davis.

PS CS4 Compatibility With Mac OS X Spaces

I'm using Photoshop CS4 with Mac OS X version 10.5.5, and I can't seem to have different Photoshop documents (different windows) open in different "Spaces". I have no problem doing this with other applications. Is this a known issue with Photoshop, or is it the intended behavior?
Thanks for any help or insight you can provide,
-Steve

@Ramon:
this means:
if you would work with the actual mac os, you have to use a old creative suite.
if you would work with the actual creative suite, you have to use a old mac os.
i am using a actual mac too :-) (mac pro intel)
so i have to downgrade to a older system, because adobe isnt able to do, what all other programmers can do? i dont believe this!
because i would use the actual os x and the actual creative suite, my question is another one.
why can support all other NON-APPLE-applications spaces and why can CS4 not. this question is not answered in this thread.
CS4 is the most expensive application on my mac and shows the worst compatibility of all applications.
for me, CS4 is not a app, i use sometimes. i used it several hours every day.
its no argument for me to say: we would not support the actual version of the operating system we develop for.

How can I disable mac pro OSX 'spaces' shortcut keys? (i.e. CTL, Right Arrow)

How can I disable mac pro shortcut keys: CTL right arrow, CTL left arrow, CTL up arrow, CTL down arrow? Currently, they take me from one space to another. (OSX 10.6) Goal is to use these shortcuts for text editing.

Hi, Simon.
You can instruct iTunes and iPhoto to save their respective libraries to a different disk, e.g. your second hard drive. You can also move existing libraries for these apps to a drive other than your startup disk.
See the links concerning moving these libraries cited in the "More ways to save space if you have a spare partition or second hard drive" section of my "Freeing Space on your Mac OS X startup disk" FAQ.
Good luck!

HT204266 Do iPhone & iPad apps in my Mac will take space in my (Mac) Hard Drive if i download them from iTunes?

I download apps from my mac and then sync my devices to transfer the apps to the devices, but i was wondering if the apps in iTunes will actually take the same space of my Hard Drive than the space it says it will take in the device.

If the apps are on your computer, then they take up space on your computer.

Can I use my iMac as a screen for my Mac Pro via Spaces?

Ok, I know this sounds odd... Nevertheless, I wanted to know if it's possible to do this. I write a lot of music and want to use two completely different computers to manipulate midi files vs. audio files. I want to use my Mac Pro for actually writing the music, and then render the files as audio and arrange them on my iMac.
I don't want to get a second monitor, but rather, be able to flip back and forth between my iMac and my Mac Pro on the same screen, relatively quickly. I'm not sure if Spaces has this capability, ie. using one desktop that corresponds to the iMac and one desktop that corresponds to the Mac Pro, all on the iMac's screen.
Is this even possible or does the iMac not even have the capability of accepting a video signal from my Mac Pro?

If you Mac Pro has a mini display port out, then the iMac can be used as a monior for the Mac Pro. This is from the apples support document:
To use a 27-inch iMac in Target Display mode with another computer as the source:
1. Make sure both computers are turned on and awake.
2. Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort cable to the Mini DisplayPort on each computer. The 27-inch iMac will enter Target Display mode and display content from the source computer.
Note: If you are connecting two 27-inch iMacs, connect a Mini DisplayPort cable to each computer and press Command + F2 on the 27-inch iMac keyboard that you will use as an external display.
3. To leave Target Display mode, press Command + F2 on the keyboard of the 27-inch iMac that is in Target Display mode. To return to Target Display mode, press Command + F2 again.

About this mac shows more space used by apps

When i triple tap the "Applications" folder in the finder, it shows me that my apps are taking about 15 Go. However, the "apps" bar in "About this Mac" reveal that apps are taking me over 90 Go !!!
PS: I don't have any backups on my mac and i haven't set up time machine yet.

That Applications folder should be only what you added to it not what was in launchpad after initial start up of your Mac . 92GBS is a combination of original apps and what you added to your library Application Folder. This is how My Mac is working but it seems like a lot of space used for a 2013 MBP

Flash Player (Firefox) Vs. Mac Leopard and Spaces

here is a weird issue that seems to cause more than one major
issue for me.
If I have my Flex application open in Firefox and I CMD-TAB
to another application that on on a different Virtual Screen(Space
as Apple like to call them) then CMD-TAB back to Firefox. Firefox
will show up in the foreground but the window itself does not truly
have focus, (here is where I have two different issues one crashes
the browser every time, the other causes my text object to jump off
the the bounds of my screen). The first issue of crashing the
browser seems to happen only when I have an alert box open, if I
CMD-TAB to another space and then CMD-TAB back to firefox, then
click the OK on an alert box without clicking the title bar on
firefox to gain focus, the browser crashes. not at all sure why
this occurs.
The other issue is the I have a page editor type of
application so you can add text and drag it around where ever you
like, if you add a text object to the workspace, then CMD-TAB to
another Space then CMD-TAB back to firefox if I click and drag a
text object it will jump off the screen, and I cannot get the
object to come back without some small hacks to be able to call an
object back to the visible workspace. This one i think occurs
because say your screen resolution is 1024x768 and you jump to
another space, then jump back without focusing I think Flash Player
thinks you are still at say (-1024*Spaces to the left) or
(+1024*spaces to the right) but if I click the title bar before any
click on flash player none of these problems occur.
This does not happen with Safari(Safari Focuses as as soon as
you CMD-TAB to it, Firefox works just fine as well as long as you
do not CMD-TAB to another Space and back)

tgeiges,
I think your best option here would be to open a support case
with the Flex team (
http://www.adobe.com/support).
This sounds like something they'd be interested in testing.
You can also file Flex bugs directly to Jira here:
http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/

Please support Mac OS X Spaces

This goes for all Adobe software. Spaces has been available for 2 years and yet no update to CS3 or CS4 has improved compatibility. It's an OS feature that's not going anywhere. Adobe applications routinely open documents in two different spaces. Or the UI in one space and a file dialog box in another. It's really annoying. I can't think of any other professional software that behaves under so poorly underspaces.

You'll have to ask Apple why some apps show the bugs and some apps don't. Apple's code does seem to be better behaved with Cocoa based applications (aka: Apple's own apps) and less well behaved with Carbon based applications (aka: all other large applications).
Please note that the Adobe apps share little or no UI code, so the cause cannot be something specific to Adobe apps.
We've seen the same sorts of bugs in almost every non-Apple application we've tested with Spaces.
We've documented the bugs we found, and sent them to Apple with details.
Space was supposed to work as-is with all applications. There is no API for Spaces, applications are not even supposed to know that Spaces is or is not running. There is nothing Adobe can do to make our apps work better with Spaces -- because we don't work directly with Spaces in any way. All these Spaces bugs are Apple's to fix.
I wish we could do something to help users of Spaces, but we cannot.
Only Apple can fix the bugs in Spaces, because only Apple has any control over Spaces.
