Popup balloons in X (Quartz) apps forces switch to another Space

Hi,
Please tell me there is a fix for this, as I have dealt with it even since the Leopard launch. Let's say you have an X window (Quartz) app running in space 4 and you are viewing space 1. Now, move the mouse cursor to a position that would prompt a popup balloon in the X app in space 4. Spaces will switch to space 4 to show the popup even though you're on space 1. I was at a large conference last week showing demos of our software and this happened several times to me while doing so. I had to explain to the confused attendees that it was Spaces misbehaving. This is a really embarrassing problem that I'm praying Apple will fix.
Thanks,
Brian

To assign an application to open in a particular space you can either go to the Spaces icon at the top of your monitor and choose the bottom entry "Open Spaces Preferences (if enabled) or open the System Preference for Spaces and in the middle of the window click on the + button to add an application to the Application Assignments window.
After you add the application, you click on the double arrows on the right side of the window and choose which Space the program is supposed to use. This works pretty well for me.
The only thing that's missing from other programs that did multiple desktops in Tiger is the ability to name the Spaces instead of just using numbers (like "Internet" instead of "1").
I use 9 Spaces because I switch to the different desktops by using the Control key plus a number. I have a cheat sheet set up on paper, pinned on the wall to remind me where certain programs are supposed to open. I've memorized the proper number for most of my assignments, but sometimes I have a brain **** with lesser used programs.

Autorecognition causes screen to switch to another Space (bug)

I have a problem with the auto-recognition function. The function itself work fine, but it is displayed in another Space.
So when I work in Space 2 with Numbers, whenever the auto-recgnition (as a drop down box) is to appear... the screen switches to, say, Space 1. Then when I react to the auto-recognition function, the screen is automatically switched back to Space 2.
Does anyone know what's happening?
Thanks,
Kira

I believe the feature meant is called "auto-completion." Auto-correction fixes capitalization, changes regular quotes to "smart" ones, & so on. Auto-completion offers to complete an entry, based on entries already existing in the table.
Auto-completion can be turned off in the "General" section of preferences. Auto-correction has its own tab in the preferences, where various of its options can be turned on & off.
However, I do not think auto-completion should cause any switch to another Space. (At least, I cannot duplicate this behavior.)
It might be worth doing some basic checks of the health of the system (like repairing permissions) or possibly creating a new user account to see if the behavior continues in that user account. (If not, it could indicate a bad preference file.)
Also check carefully the Application assignments & other options in Spaces to see if that offers a clue. For instance, is the switch always to the space assigned to some other application?

Forcing Switch to New Plan

I just want to express my dissatisfaction with individual phones within a family plan being forced to go to the new "Share Everything" plan, or should I say they only get the down side without the benefits of being force switched to another plan. My daughter got a new phone so she's stuck with the 2 GB data plan that only she is on, yet she's still having to share the 1400 minutes on the old plan AND her phone cannot be used as a hot spot while the rest of us are still on the old plan. Does she pay less for this??? NO!! In fact she pays more for this because she goes over the 2 GB allowed and has to upgrade to the 5 GB. This is not right, Verizon!

Ummm, no. She was forced to buy a new phone when she lost hers because somebody at Verizon screwed up the insurance so in order to avoid paying full price, which she cannot afford, she chose to upgrade and get the discount. She made a choice to buy her phone at a discount from Verizon. There ARE other options, including borrowing or buying a used phone from a private party, that would NOT have changed anything about the plan except the phone associated with that number.
Because she was getting a new phone she had to be downgraded to the 2 GB data plan,Yes, for a year now this has been in place. Verizon no longer offers unlimited data when purchasing a subsidized phone or starting a new line of service.
but she doesn't get the advantage of the "perks". What "perks"? She gets 2 GB data for $30, she shares your minutes and texting as before, and there is an extra charge for hot spot usage ... nothing has changed except there is now a cap on her data. If she needs 5GB, then she'll pay a bit extra for the added usage, however, with diligence and aggressive use of wifi whenever it's available, the 2 GB cap is adequate for the majority of Verizon customers.
So we're paying the same price and getting less. Doesn't seem right to me. If she does indeed use more than the 2GB, then yes, you will pay more for her data usage than you did when she had unlimited data.
It may be worth looking into switching the family to the Share Everything - at least compare the cost. You would all have unlimited voice and texting, and if any of you have smartphones, you would share a pool of data. And you would have the hotspot capability. Look over past bills and see what the average data usage is and plan accordingly; compare prices and decide if it would be worthwhile to switch.

CS5 Hangs When Minimizing or Switching to Another App

If I minimize Premiere or switch to another app (or even if I use the encoder queue, which opens another window and takes the focus off the Premiere app and puts it on the encoder app), Premiere hangs. First it has the Windows 7 "working" circle, then if you click anywhere it turns the Premiere screen white and says Not Responding. The other windows on my second monitor (like Project, Audio Mixer, etc.) stay normal looking until you click on them, then they become white as well.
There's a ton of disk activity when this happens.
Not sure, but it could be related to something else I'm seeing: Premiere tries to rebuild peak files and reloads all MXF (P2) media each time project loads, which takes forever. It's almost like it starts to do it again in the background when the app loses focus. I've tried all the remedies I could find in the forums to fix the rebuilding of peak files, no luck.
Note that I've made some smaller test projects, and they don't seem as affected - still slow when switching back, but don't completely hang.
This is on a large, 1-hour broadcast project with tons of source clips. I'm trying to export 9 segments for the broadcast master, which has become excruciatingly painful to do...first I have to load the project, then wait 10 minutes for the 3,500 clips to load, then export the segment (which immediately hangs Premiere once the Encoder window takes over). Am having to do that for each segment...you get the picture.
I saw another post from a guy saying he gets degraded playback performance when switching back to Premiere after going to another app...perhaps related? Perhaps not. Dunno.
Win7 64
i7 Extreme
12 GB RAM
Quadro 4800
Would love any suggestions...
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm seeing similar switching issues on large projects - happened in CS4 as well though.
This is with around 2000-3000 file references to load.
Mine takes about 20-30 seconds to switch (IIRC). Frustratingly it also happens no matter what is switched to - e.g. if a system popup appears, switching back to Premiere has the same delay. looks like Premiere is re-reading all of the footage files as my RAID5 array is hammered each time.
I was hoping that in the switch to CS5 and 64 bit, this would go away - but that's not so.
Wouldn't look so terminal if PPro at least put up a dialogue box rather than allowing Windows to grey out the window as if the app has crashed (which we know isn't the case). Windows is quick to show an app not responding though.
Anyone else also seeing this on larger projects with lots of files?
Paul.

Is there an App which switches on Cellular data at a Particular time of day and switches off as well? if not someone should make an app for that

No, there are no apps that can do that, as no app would have access to the necessary API's to perform such a task.

Why do the maps app bookmarks are erased every time I switch to another app?

I am encountering several problems with the new maps application which are not related to the mapping data itself.
My problems are:
Every bookmark I keep dissapears after a while (mostly after I switch to another app, but sometimes it takes a little more switching before the bookmark is gone).
I cannot access bookmarks when I try to set a route. There is no option to choose a starting/end point from a contact address or bookmark.
Am I doing something wrong? I could not find any reference in other forums describing this problem and would appreciate any help.
P.S.
The first problem I describe was present also for the old maps application on iPhone 4S and iPhone 3.

Thanks for explaining how app's loss of state can happen. However, I'm sure that the behavior of the four apps I mentioned is much worse than just a few months ago. Something must have changed, and iOS 7 is the main difference. The Kindle app behaves as it used to, but the others do not. Maybe I should note the problem in reviews of the apps themselves in the App Store -- and down rate the apps.

Popup "balloon" over form item

I am have a form based on a table and am wondering if it is possible to have information come up either in balloon style (there only while mouse is over the object) or in popup window format (small window user must close, as seen with the oracle help "?" feature). The purpose would be to give the user a small blurb of detailed information about what they are supposed to be typing in that text area in the form. And then have that functionality for each of the text areas in a form. Does this make sense?

Diane,
When you edit the form, enter HTML like the below, into the label definition text for the form item or column.
<span title="popup balloon explanation">Column Label</span>
Don't know if this works with all browsers

How do I hear Garageband in multitask? I am playing guitar in GB using Apogee Jam. Would like to read lyrics in Safari while hearing guitar in background. But I can only hear GB when it is the active program. Sound stops if I switch to another app.

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by

On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

ALL social network apps force closing

Started Sunday with just Tweetdeck, then last night it was all of the following apps force closing before I could make a post:
Tweetdeck
Hoot Suite
Facebook Official
Twitter Official
-AND- Twitter via twitter.com NOT the mobil app, accessing the website through Browser, that force closed, too.
I can't make a post at all. I was wanting to type "well the Halloween carnival went okay" but all I could type was the word "well" before it stopped letting me type, then sat there for about 30 seconds, then gave me the force close message. I also could NOT report it, as that wouldn't allow me to type for very long either.
So it's driving me bonkers. Anybody else having this problem?

That happens some times.
Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.
Then if necessary:

Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
Restore from backup. See:

Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Spaces keeps auto-switching to another "desktop" when I open a certain app

I once opened an app (iTunes) in a 2nd "Space" ie virtual desktop and now every time I open iTunes, it switches me over to this other desktop even though in Dock I specified "Only Open in THIS Desktop".
Not interested in multiple "desktops", just want to do everything on one.
Anyone else have this frustrating experience?

The text editor is the text area that you use on the webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail) website to create a new mail.
You can compare that with the ''Post new message'' text area that you use to create a new post on this forum.
Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons that allows some text formatting like Bold and Italic and can also include a button to make a clickable hyperlink.
Check the tooltip of each button by hovering with the mouse over each button.
