No option to assign app to desktop

On my iMac some of my apps do not have the option to assign them to specific desktops. Yet on my MBA those same apps do. So I figure I've got an option messed up somewhere but no idea where. Anyone got an idea?
Thank you.

I'm not sure, but I think there may be a very low limit on the number of apps that can be assigned to specific desktops. AppleCare thought it might be corruption of the Dock PList and had me delete it. But the problem keeps coming back and it seems to be after I've assigned a number of apps to specific desktops I am unable to assign any more. Not sure that is the case, but that seems to be how it appears at the moment.

Mission Control Lion 10.7.3 assigning apps to desktops

How do I get an app to stick in a desktop.
I have the mission control desktop and then desktops 1 through 7.
I have them all opening up various applicaitons, but even though I move the app to the desktop I want, and I shut down with the app open in that desktop, on restart it opens up in the wrong desktop...always the same one, but always the wrong one.
iTunes - I put it in Desktop 7, its there when I shut down. It always opens up in Desktop 1. I don't have trouble with calendar, mail, addressbook.
Also, sometimes 'finder' folders that I have left open in a specific window when I shut down do not open up on restart. They do sometimes, but most of the time not.
Thanks!

If you are running the program ctrl+click on its dock's icon.
Choose Options -> This Desktop
If you also want to always keep in sequence all spaces, in System Preferences uncheck

Can't assign apps to specific desktops

Since Mavericks, when I right click a dock icon, I no longer have the option to assign the app to a specific desktop. I have to choose 'desktop on display x' or all or none.
This was incredibly useful before, and I can't understand why they would replace this functionality instead of extending it.
Anybody else as annoyed as I am?

Sorry @n1c4shby, I've hijacked your post (but I think I understand what you're getting at...)
I know what you're saying @robdrage, and having separate spaces on each display is the way to go and I'm not for going backwards, but the issue is:
that sometimes the Dock option will allow me to assign an application to - say - Desktop 4 on Display 2, then sometimes the best it will offer me is Desktop on Display 2.
This behaviour seems arbitrary, and also seems to change with each restart.
Maybe I'm missing a trick here.

Application no longer assignable to a desktop in Spaces. Useable only in full screen, can't access it when not in full screen.

This is a repost to correctly ID this as a Spaces issue. I am using a MacBook Pro with a second monitor in extended desktop. I put iMovie in full screen and when I put it back, it disappeared off of both desktops. I can see it in Spaces and I can use it in full screen. However, it is not available when not in full screen. When I drag and drop it in Spaces to a desktop, it animates off of the top of the screen versus landing on that desktop. I have tried to change the application assignment by right clicking on the iMovie Icon > Options > Assign To, but it affects nothing. I have rebooted both with the external monitor and without, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie and I have tried many combinations of screen resolutions and it is still assigned somewhere other than a desktop. It appears to no longer be associated with or assignable to a desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you access iMovie without being in fullscreen when you do not have an external monitor connected? I cannot. No matter the monitor configuration, it is only accessible in full screen for me.
I agree - it is for sure a bug.

I am trying to install Creative Cloud app for Desktop and it's shutting down

Trying to install the Creative Cloud app for Desktop but every time I try the Adobe Application Manager shuts itself every time. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
If it is automatically installed, where do I find it? I don’t think it has installed because the Application Manager shuts itself so fast every time.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply.
I went into Applications> Utilities but there is no Adobe Installers folder or icon there for me to do anything with. I went back to my Adobe account front page and tried to download Illustrator again seeing as it hasn’t installed but when Application Manager tries to open (the little spinning icon) it spins about 3 times before I get a pop up saying that Adobe Application Manager has failed to open. This happens every time I attempt to download Illustrator. Any other options for what might be the issue?
Thanks again!

Questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN Access

Hi there,
I want to ask a series of questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN access and was hoping whether you could help me. Below are my questions to ask you.
Outlook Web App - What do I need to configure in order to get my Exchange account to work with the OWA app on my iPhone? Is Office 360 required on the server that hosts Outlook Web App in our organisation? When I configure the settings and
connect I get the following message "couldn't connect - We couldn't connect to the server. Check your information and make sure it's correct." I can connect with other devices using Outlook Web App.
Remote Desktop - What do I need to configure in order to connect to my computer at work using Remote Desktop on my Windows Phone? When I configure the settings and connect I get the following message "Connection error - We couldn't connect
to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled. Inquiring minds may find this error code helpful: 0x204" I can connect with other devices using Remote Desktop. There are currently no
RD Server settings in the Remote Desktop app on the Windows Phone and the only way I'm to connect to my PC at work is via Remote Desktop and not to be confused with the one by Microsoft, however the app is on a trial basis and times out every 5 minutes and
can only be used once every hour unless I purchased the app for £2.99 off the App Store but would ideally like to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app though.
Remote Web Access - What do I need to configure in order to get Remote Web Access on my Windows Phone using a URL? When I log in using a URL I get the following message "There is a problem with this Web page. Please contact the person who manages
the server" I can connect with other devices using Remote Web Access. Also how do you enable the background option for Remote Web Access? I know how to do this in Remote Desktop but not in Remote Web Access. Remote Web Access works on PCs regardless
being onsite and offsite and on my iPhone, the same issue also occurs with my Nokia 5230s regardless of whether I'm using Opera Mobile or Mini or the latest Nokia Browser.
VPN access - How do you configure VPN access on a Windows Phone using VPN? I cannot find the protocols PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IPsec in order to configure VPN access on the Windows Phone apart from IKEv2.
Many thanks,
RocknRollTim

Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Assign To "All Desktops" doesn't work after restart

Is anyone else having this problem?
I have several apps that I have assigned to show on "All Desktops"; however, after I do a restart, and these apps are magically restored, though they still claim to be assigned to "All Desktops" they only appear on the first desktop.
I have to then assign them to "This Desktop" and back again to "All Desktops" before they will actually display on all desktops.
Though I seldom restart, it is annoying to have to go through the apps and re-set their display settings each time.
I don't know if it is possibly part of the problem, but all the apps I have set to "All Desktops" I display on my second monitor (I do this so I can have things like Safari on my second monitor, and always available, no matter what I am working in on my main display).

This thread offers a solution, but it's vague and too broad: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16190593#16190593
I don't want to delete all my preferences and have to set them up again. So I did some research and I think I figured out a more targeted solution. The preferences file for Spaces in Lion is located here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spaces.plist
For some reason, ~/Library is hidden by default in Lion, so to get there you'll have to unhide it. Enter this command in Terminal: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Then, to open and edit that file, you'll need to download the XCode tools, here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id448457090?mt=12
Finally, you'll want to open spaces.plist, find the line that refers to the application you're having trouble with, e.g.:
"com.apple.finder" = "3C65046B-FA18-4983-9219-8140A2B81A41";
Change that long string of letters to "AllSpaces". Save the file and restart and (I hope) that should do it. Will report back when I've tried this. Still waiting for the rather large XCode application to download from the App Store.

Assign applications to desktop

How can I assign applications to open on specific desktops? i used spaces but seems it's gone
I still have the applications i used to have assigned to different spaces now assigned to desktops
but how can i cinfigure it now? how come when i change the desktop backgriund i have to to it in every different desktop?
Thanks

Go to the Desktop you want to use. Right-click the application's icon in the Dock. Select Options > Assign To > This Desktop.
Desktops can have different backgrounds, if you want. A new Desktop get the same background as Desktop 1, until you change it. But changing a background only applies to the current Desktop.

Why are my applications that are assigned to specific desktops randomly rearranging themselves on other desktops?

I'm on a late 2013 Retina 13" MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4 and for some reason most of my applications assigned to specific desktops are rearranging themselves to other desktops.
For example, I've created eight desktops. I've assigned Safari to appear on desktop three. While using Safari, when I swipe once from to left between desktops using my three fingers, I end up on desktop seven. It appears that Safari automatically reassigns it's self on desktop six. I swipe back to desktop three. From the dock, I find Safari and do a right click to have the application menu pop-up, I hover over options and assign Safari to "This Desktop" again. I begin using Safari, and if I'm unlucky, and I swipe from left to right I end up on desktop four.
This happens constantly and it's become annoying. Is this a bug?
For work, I use a late 2008 Non-Retina 15" MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4 and that laptop has no issues.

Right click (cntl click) the icon on the dock. Select options and set "assign to" None, All or This desktop.

My firefox doesn't memorize the option of always saving in desktop. it always asks me where i want to save even if i chose the option to always save in the desktop.

in the firefox settings i chose the option of saving downloads in desktop instead of always asking me where to save. but, no matter what i do, i always get the save window when i want to download something, the default is always "open with" instead of "save file" and it doesn't allow me to chose the option to repeat the save for the same kind of file from now on. so, every time i download something i have to click in "save file" and "ok", but in the settings i have "save files in desktop", so i don't get it! why can't it be memorized?

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

Hi Kenneth,
Here for your case suggest you to configure RDP session time limit so that your user can disconnect\log off once the specific time limit reached.
You can setup the session time limit in different method.
1. Open the Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
2. In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to collections.
3. Select the collection which you want to edit the settings.
4. Under collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
5. In Properties dialog box, select Session.
6. You can find all thetimeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then OK.
And apart also by group policy setting as below.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
- Set time limit for disconnected sessions
- Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
- Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
- End session when time limits are reached
Please check which setting suitable for your environment and you can apply for your case.

Remote App and Desktop Login Does NOT work

Hello there,
I have an easy one for you all. I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter off a server at a university. This server is only intended to be shared with ~10 people doing various tasks like using programs installed and storing data. As
of now, I only have been able to do RDP from home with it. Having tried to setup remote app and desktop, it only works on the server itself and not on other computers, both on the same subnet and a completely different IP address altogether. Let
me break down my questions:
1. Though the security certificate is installed in Trusted Root Authorities, but the site is only trusted on the server and not on any of the other computers. How do I get the others to trust it?
2. Number 1 except this occurs in the Remote Desktop and App window as well.
3. Adding users would be under active directory administrative center-->[my server]-->Users-->Add right? I guess I cannot play with 'User Accounts' in control panel anymore.
Any help would be appreciated. Also, if anyone thinks I am better off doing other things like virtual desktop, then I am all ears. I just want to keep things as simple as possible.
Regards,
Ben

Hi,
Firstly, how to you reach the server from Internet, via host name, public IP address or VPN?
If you need to remote to the server via host name, can you nslookup the host name and get the correct public IP address of it?
Do you install the AD DS role on the server? Please let us know if you need the active directory environment.
Thanks.

Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...
