Prevent iChat from yanking me out of one Space and into another

Using Spaces and working in a separate Space from where I have an open iChat window it's incredibly annoying that when I receive a chat message from someone iChat will immediately switch Spaces on me...even if I'm in the middle of typing or drawing in another space. Is there any way to turn this off?!? The red badge over iChat's icon is enough! I don't need to be yanked away from what I'm working on...
Thanks!

If you set iChat to Every Space it will show up no matter what space you're in, so it won't have to move you between spaces. The Chax plug-in lets you hide the buddy list automatically when iChat is in the background, so it won't get in your way (since it would always be there no matter what space).

  • Have one apple id but 2 profiles/ nicknames in games centre but can't log out of one nickname and into another.

    So family has apple id- we all use it. In the past I have set up two different profiles for Games Centre so that my son can play his ipad. He asked me what his nickname is, which we have. But when you enter the games centre it asked for your apple id and password but then gives my profile on his ipad and not his. I can not figure out a way to switch it to his profile. I know one exists because I can see that I am friends with him. He has an ipad mini- up to date software etc.

    Hi lulurats,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It is possible to have one Apple ID that everyone uses for iTunes Store purchases, etc.
    But each member of the family would have to have their own Apple ID for Gamecenter, iCloud, etc.
    I'm including some information below for GameCenter in particular and Apple ID in general:

    You can change the account you are signed into by:

    Note: Please note each Apple ID has its own associated scores, achievements, and friends.

  • How can I get real-time audio (think Bloom from Brian Eno out of my ipad and into garageband on my mbp?

    I'm a visual artist and an audio novice who would like capture some spontaneous Bloom or Scape musical noodlings. Since neither Bloom nor Scape allow users to save to a universal audio format, I'm hoping that there's a way for me to get those noodlings out of my iPad and into GrageBand on my MBP
    Thanks, in advance, for any help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    While I agree that it would be nice if it was easier to transfer media from your Apple devices they should never be used as the sole location for any of your media. They are too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. The user tip above also includes a link to a suggested library backup strategy so that you can avoid being in the same position in future.

  • Prevent iChat from starting at login

    How do I prevent iChat from starting at login? I looked in my account login items and it is not listed there. I shut the app completely before shutting down the computer so it shouldn't be automatically be relauncing due to the "reopen windows" setting in Lion. Just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    With iChat Open check the Window Menu about which windows are actually open
    The App should be Quit at the end rather than hitting the red blobs on the windows (this only closes/Hides the windows and does not Quit the app)
    Are you getting Off Line IMs when it starts up ?
    If this is the case it is a "feature" rather than a fault although you don't have a lot of control over it.
    In earlier versions the support app iChatAgent  "Listens" to the AIM Server in particular and will answer if an Off Line IM is sent.
    If iChat is closed down iChatAgent will launch it.
    In iChat 6 this is done by IMAgent (it does the same job for FaceTime if it's preferences are set to ON but the app is not launched)
    Most likely it is a window that belongs to iChat that is not getting closed.
    At the same time it may not be in view  (the Window Menu should give clues).
    It could be Off Line IMs

  • I dragged a cut out image from one photoshop document into another and now it is blurry. What to do?

    I dragged a cut out image from one photoshop document into another and now it is blurry. What can I do to prevent this?

    What is the resolution of the image that you "dragged"? The resolution is the number in pixels per inch (ppi). If you dragged a significantly lower resolution file into a higher resolution file, it could result in a blurry image.
    see below:
    For further reading of Key Concepts:
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/keyconcepts/articles/concept_resolution.html
    You can determine the image size by choosing Image > Image Size

    You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor.  This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow.  What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
    Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer.  The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
    I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
    Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
    Printing Your Images
    There is also a good appendix on calibration:

  • Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

    Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in Oracle and  yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

    Thanks for your advise.
    However, I missed to mention that we have two set of users  One is for Finished Goods and another for Spares.
    Only Spares users need to be prevented from creating Direct/Manual Sales Orders in Oracle.
    As you suggested, if this will be done at Form level, that may Disallow FG users also to create Manula Sales Orders which should not be the case.
    Further, I tried to test one scenario through Processing Constraints but it did not work.

  • How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one space one in Notes?

    How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
    I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud.  I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more.  My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
    I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
    Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches.  This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4.  How do I fix this?
    Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all.  I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file.  Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
    Problem #3:  When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information.  How do I stop this?  Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
    Problem #4:  When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page.  Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns.  Is there a way to format the output?  I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
    Problem #5:  Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work.  (I have had this computer since May 2011).  No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory.  To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually.  Is there a fix to this?
    Problem #6:  Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate.  How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
    Problem #7:  Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

    '''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
    The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
    # Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
    # Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
    # Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
    # Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
    # Click on the Save button.
    Hopefully, problem solved!

  • Looking for a way to move entire pages from one photo book into another photo book.

    I haven't found out how to move pages from one photo book into another. Surely this is possible?
    Also on the subject of photo books: it seems that it is not possible to enlarge the size of a text box. Or has anyone found a way to accomodate more than 1 line of text on a photo book page?

    You can look through some of the different Layouts available.
    Select your page.
    Click the "Layout" icon on the lower right hand of the application window.
    Above it will appear a "BACKGROUND" section and a "LAYOUT" section.
    Immediately below the "LAYOUT" is a drop down menu which will show you all the different options.

  • Copying a page from one picture book into another

    Does anyone know how to copy a page from one picture book into another. I have made 2 books and would like to make a third consisting of pages from the first 2 but seem unable to do it without starting again, or at least starting from a duplicate of one and re doing all the missing pages.

    print each page you want to include in "book 3" to a PDF and use the send PDF to iPhoto option - this will give you the pages as images in iPhoto that you can them place into "book 3"

  • Get the mapping values from one message mapping into another message mappin

    Hi All,
    I created two graphical message mappings. In first message mapping i created one user defined function and set one global container parameter and I need to use this parameter in my second message mapping user defined function. But the global container parameters can be used in different user defined functions in same message mapping. So is there any way to use the values which are set in one message mapping into another message mapping. If yes, please help me how to get?

    Hi Koteswara rao,
      As you said global container parameters from first message mapping are not accessible from second message mapping program.
    i haven't faced situation like this.but, if you have some unmapped field in target message in first message mapping,you can put global variables data in that unmapped field.
    anyway the output of first message mapping would be input for 2nd messages mapping,so you can access global data(unmapped field filled with global data in 1st MM) from 2nd mapping program..
