No longer able to move individual windows to different desktops.

Recently ran into an issue, where I couldn't not move open applications between windows.
For example, I have iMail running in Desktop 1, and wanted to copy a single piece of email to Desktop 2, where I have a web browser running.
In another example, I wanted to copy an Email from Desktop 1 to Desktop 3, where I had Terminal running. This used to work fine when I would bring up Mission Control and copy the individual email or terminal into another Desktop. However, as of 10/13/2012, I can not longer do this, instead I see the icon for the app in Mission Control. So instead of the individual emails showing up, the Mail icon appears and if I move the mail icon to another desktop, the entire Mail app moves to that desk top...not what I wanted.
Currently running 10.8.2 (12C60) there was a minor mail update I did this weekend through the App store, although not sure exaxctly what it was. Mail version is Version 6.2 (1499)
Any help is appreciated as this is very frsutrating.
For the record, I've looked at other co-workers running the same environment, and still seeing the old behavior.

Hello colleen150,
If you are unable to move message to the trash on your iPad, then make sure to ensure that the settings for Trash is correct. You can find out how to do that below and if you are still having issues, then remove the email account and add it back in.

Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone?

Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone? I don't want to sync everything as I have over 2000 songs on my macbook. Please help!

Hi ckuan,
Thanks for the tip. I have tried this however, when I select the Sync music box, it wants to remove all of the music that is currently on my iphone. I do not want to do this. What happened to the old "select and drag" option? That was so much easier! I would like to add new music without removing the music that is currently on the iphone.

No longer able to logon to Windows 10

I have recently upgraded to build # 9879. Since the intial login after updating, I have been unable to login at all with my MSoft account. Since I am, obviously, logged on here, with the same account, I know what my password is and can type it in properly.
The only thing I can think of causing this problem would be the OneDrive Sync. My One Drive account was NOT established with my MSoft account. Therefore it does not have the same password. If this is the assumption, it is a darn silly and stupid assumption
to make.
I would appreciate any help in correcting this situation. And since I cannot login to Windows 10, I obviously cannot correct it from there. Also, restarting from the initial release and re-installing builds is not an option.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Shaw

quote.....Also, restarting from the initial release and re-installing builds is not an option.
You don't have to start from day one.
You can just re-install build 9879.
Here is the link to build 9879 Enterprise.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-technical-preview-for-enterprise?i=1
You can also use the following direct download links :
Windows 10 Enterprise build 9879 64-bit
ISO image
Windows 10 Enterprise build 9879 32-bit
ISO image
In case you wonder about Enterprise version, it has everything build 9879 supposed to have, plus a few features meant for business people. Such as Windows to go etc.
You don't have to use it.
I installed mine in my home computer which is not meant for doing business.

Window manager that can scale individual window or virtual desktop?

Xfig doesn't work well on high DPI screens, especially for users whose vision is not that great. The problem is that there is no configuration option to scale elements such as lines.
I see two ways to solve the problem:
Scale the Xfig window.
Scale the virtual desktop on which Xfig is running. Other applications would be running on virtual desktops that are not scaled.
Following a suggestion in the awesome mailing list, I looked into Wayland plus a compositing window manager. However, XWayland, the X compatibility layer, has issues with Xfig. So I guess that for now I’m stuck with X.org, and a window manager compatible with the X composite extension.

Possible solutions:
Pervert: Set up a virtual machine just for Xfig, then use xrandr to scale the desktop inside of the virtual machine.
Saner: Run Xfig in a VNC server (or NX), then connect with a client that supports scaling, e.g. gtk-vnc.
Could be nice: Run Xfig within Xephyr, an X server that runs in a window within X. However, scaling with xrandr doesn't work.
Untested: Use the Compiz Ezoom plugin to scale part of the screen. One would somehow need to prevent windows from being positioned outside of the zoomed area, and also restrict mouse movement.

I have 2 desktops. mine and my sons. His is controlled by parental controls, when firefox downloaded the latest version he is no longer able to get on firefox on his desktop. please help.

I have Cox Internet service, which allows me to control what content other users on my computer see and do. My son has parental controls which do not allow him to view certain websites, download programming, ext... With this last update to Firefox, I am still able to get on the internet, but when he tries to click on the Firefox icon on his desktop it tells him there has been an error and shuts down. He is forced to use Internet Explore. I do not want him using this web browser. Please help us get him back on Firefox.
Thank you Michelle Brooks

Add-ons are the responsibility of their authors. McAfee does not even put their extension on http://addons.mozilla.org you had to install it from their site.
Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
* "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
* Do a Google Search no problem
* It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

Unexpected performance of Firefox in Windows 7, namely minimize/maximize/close buttons not working and unable to move/resize window.

I have been using FF for a while now. My main computer was WinXP-32, though I recently bought a new laptop with Win7-64 installed. This problem was never experienced on my WinXP machine.
Brief description of problem:
After a time of having FF up and running, the minimize/maximize/restore/close buttons in the top-right no longer work as expected and, if not maximised, I cannot move the window around my desktop nor resize the browser window. When clicked, the buttons will
rapidly flash on and off continuously without appearing to perform any noticeable function other than temporarily hogging CPU cycles. I've found that clicking (sometimes double clicking) in the main browser window then mousing over the buttons again seems
to stop them flashing, though does nothing else.
To minimize/maximize/restore/move/close the window(s), I have to right-click on the relevant tab in my taskbar and pick the desired option. Occasionally, however, even this doesn't work and the right-click menu will disappear as soon as I move the mouse
over it after right-clicking. 'Show desktop' is a temporary fix for minimising windows and 'ALT + F4' or 'CTRL + W' for closing windows or tabs. This isn't satisfactory and to move or resize a window, I have to close the window in question (sometimes all other
windows too), reopen it and do what I need to do, though sometimes even this is only a very short fix. If I have to close all the windows, FF will sometimes keep running for a while afterwards, even though no windows are actually open - simply ending the process
via the windows task manager will fix this though is only a work-around, not a fix.
One thing I have noticed is that if I manage to move the browser window (when not maximised), for a short period afterwards I can often resize the window successfully. This is more likely to occur if the browser window is not flush with the edge of my screen
once moved.
I've tried to include as much information as I can - most of which was determined after several minutes/hours of playing around with different scenarios, trying to manually reproduce particular problems or simply through sheer luck of happening to click
in the right place at the right time! I hope there is a reasonably fix for this at some point in the not-too-distant future.
I noticed in some of the threads at another site where people have voiced problems similar to mine, that a link to 'ObjectDock' was discovered in some cases. I do have 'ObjectDock 1.90 Plus' installed on my machine and use it in many ways and so decided
to see if I could find a connection between the two. I have uninstalled, tested, and reinstalled both programs in a multitude of ways, though could find no conclusive correlation between having both bits of software running or installed at the same time and
the problems I am experiencing. In my case, at least, this does not appear to be an answer.
Also, in another thread on this site, someone suggested there might be a link with AVG Anti-Virus Free (I have version 9.0.819) though I've tried uninstalling it and its various add-ons in several different combinations, with no noticeable improvement.
Sorry for such a long question... If you need to know anything more, just let me know!

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

Shortcut to move window to another desktop

I have a couple desktops setup on my OS X.
What is the shortcut to move a window to another desktop? I know I can drag it using the mouse but I have magicmousophobia and prefer to use the keyboard.

Hi User_014,
If you are looking for alternate ways to move windows across multiple spaces in Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:
Move a window from one space to another
Do one of the following:
Drag the window to the edge of your screen and pause; after a moment, the window is switched to the next space.
Move the pointer over the window, then hold down the mouse button while pressing the Control key and an arrow key.
From the space that has the window you want to move, zoom to Mission Control. Then drag the window itself (not the thumbnail image) up to the space you want to use.

App expose - only show windows in one desktop?

Just curious if anyone has found a way to get app expose to only show windows in the current desktop in Lion.
In SL if you input the following terminal command then when you activated app expose it would only show you windows for that app in the current space instead of all open windows in all spaces.
defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces -bool FALSE
Mission Control has replaced all window expose and is currently the only way to see everything that is going on within a single desktop (with the exception of minimized windows). But unlike All window expose, with mission control you can't easily see individual windows of a single app. Only App expose now provides this function. If I have 6 pdfs open on one desktop and another 6 pdfs open in another desktop (and presumably since I'm using 2 desktops I'm using these pdfs for different purposes) if I want to quickly switch to one of them using some form of expose it is really easy to accidentally switch to the other desktop (which I find very jarring and disruptive to my workflow).
Please note I am not trying to bash Mission Control. I actually don't mind it. I was just curious if anyone had found a similar terminal command or hack that restored the functionality of restricting app expose to a single space in Lion.
Thanks in advance!

Just chiming in to say I'd like to see a fix for this too. I put different windows onto different desktops because they're part of a completely separate work flow; when I use Application Exposé, I don't want to see windows from a different task entirely.

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need more than that. Help!

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need much more capacity than that. Ideas?

One of these may fit your needs: http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/productivity-roundups/25-fantastic-to-do-lis t-apps-for-iphone/
What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter.

No longer able to create a new message window in Apple Mail

Please help! When I am in Apple Mail, I am no longer able to create a new message window (Command-N), and so cannot send any mail. This just started after the most recent OS update yesterday.

Have you tried
1. clicking on the New Message icon?
2. File menu / New Message?
I am trying to figure out if your problem is because Mail is not working, or whether it is a problem elsewhere, e.g. the keyboard.

got notification that new Itunes version is available, once i installed it I'm no longer able to open Itunes, I get the error message, Not installed properly. Reinstall itunes. Error 7(Windows error127), I tried repairing itunes, Apple Aplication support, apple mobile device support, bonjour and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and still problem exist, any solution?
I have windows 8

I got this message today too. I understand that my music is stored on my computer, however I want to be certain that if I re-install iTunes, it won't erase my library....playlists, playcounts, checked songs, etc.

I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

No longer able to see more than one window on screen at the same time

In the last 2 days or so, I am no longer able to have a Safari window on screen at the same time as my Mail window. Same with Applications, I was working on a project in InDesign and wanted to check out how to print it booklet & double sided with my Epson printer but as soon as the Safari window is on screen the Indesign one disappears, which is no use at all for following instructions. I used to be able to have numerous windows available on screen at the same time (4 isn't unusual for me).
Does anyone know what has changed? The only thing I'm conscious of doing was moving my dock and hiding it so I've put it back to where it was and always visible but I still can't have 2 different windows on screen at the same time. Any help/advice gratefully received, thanks

Not sure I understand!
Do you get an error when attempting to have two windows opened?
A silly question on my part maybe but have you tried resizing the windows to more than one will be visible?
To re-size a window left click the mouse to grab the bottom right corner of the window, hold the click and drag the window up, down, left or right to re-size.
Alternately you can try clicking the green plus button on the on the top left corner of the window. This will automatically re-size the window to its best viewing size.
Did you by change change the resolution of your monitor from System preferences?

I guess I didn't explaine that I have a healthy operating Windows 8 Boot camp partition on my hard drive. When I upgraded to Mavericks I am no long able to access the bootcamp partition from the disk icon in system preferences; the Windows 8 works fine.

On both Mini Mac and iMac 27" I am no longer able to utalize the Startup Disk icon in System Preferences; the Windows 8 on Bootcamp partition works fine if I close the Mavericks OX and select the Windows partition at bootup from the hard drive. My question is why don't the icon in System Prederences work anymore since I upgraded to Mavericks. Also, Users & Groups, Printers & Scanners icons no longer work either.

Help! I recently upgraded to OS 10.9.4 from 10.6.8, and now when I want to send an email to a group in my contacts I am no longer able to select the group as a whole. I have to select each address individually. This can't be right.

Help! I recently upgraded to OS 10.9.4 from 10.6.8, and now when I want to send an email to a group in my contacts I am no longer able to select the group as a whole. I have to select each address individually. This can't be right. With 10.6.8 I used to be able to double click on the name of the group and they would all be selected. I've also noticed that my address book is now called "contacts." Thanks in advance for your help.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

No longer able to move individual windows to different desktops.
