Problem in Using Auxiliary Desktop in Mac OS X ML

Dear Community,
I'm asking here a question which is related to the unconventional desktop management in Mountain Lion.
This topic might have been already treated in the forum (here and eleswhere) and I apologize if my question has been already answered. Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to look thoroughly through the apple support community pages. If I missed an answered thread please forgive me.
My question is not realted to the full-screen option that when you are using two screen, one main (MacBook Pro ) and one external (General display), makes all display grey but one. This has been address in other forum as an issue since Lion nad has widely been discussed.
My problem is more related to a genera use of desktop and screens, i.e. no app is full-screen.
So this is the scenario.
I need to use multiple windows of different applications. Windows are spread across 3 or 4 spaces in the main display and I need one window of one specific application, e.g. Word, to be kept fixed in the secondary external display.
As of now, however, when I swipe across spaces also the secondary display changes as every space as its own extension.
I could select the option "Keep in every Desktop"; this, however, would imply every other window of that very app to be replicated across primary screen spaces and that is something i need to avoid.
I remeber that back when I was suign Snow Leopard, this phenomenon wasn't present.
Now, am I missing something?
My best guess so far is that this behavior is somehow related to the mentioned issue with the full-screen. As a matter of fact it has been introduced since full-screen capability landed on Mac OS X.
How could I solve my problem? Because this is what matters eventually.
Thank you all in advance for your help!
Alex

Just one more word.
Generally specking what I'd need is to be able to decouple the aux screen from Mission Control.
Right now, also the second display works with the Mission Control Behavior and it shouldn't or, at least, there should be an option to disable it.

Troubleshooting Address Book issues using Palm Desktop for Mac (v. 4.2.1) and a T3?

Can someone please make suggestions which would correct the following issues?
1) When printing an Address Book from my Mac, the information in the "title" field prints twice. (I have checked my Preferences settings & reviewed how I have entered the information, etc. and everything is in order; also, an Address CARD DOES print correctly --- and --- after syncing to my T3 and then to my husband's PC, an Address Book prints correctly from the PC.)
2) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "zip code" entries appear BEFORE the "city" entries on the T3. (The zip codes appear correctly on my Mac and print out correctly.)
3) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "contacts" all appear in BLACK on my T3. Is there any way to show the different "contact categories" in COLOR on the T3 as they were originally entered in my Palm Desktop for Mac?

Small problem: how using "Remote Desktop" on Snow Leopard Server

Hello,
How can I login to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server from 2 different Macs ?
Before I bought my Mac Mini Server in July, I asked the Apple Support if Snow Leopard Server has the equivalent of the Windows Remote Desktop functionality. He told me that it is possible. He did not tell me how, but I believed him.
I cannot find it in the documentation. Only 1 person can use screensharing. But I need more than 1 person working on the Mac OS X Server.
I moved our Photo library to the Mac OS X Server. With filesharing it takes 5 minutes to start iPhoto on our client iMac ( 1Gbps network). That is unworkable. So, from more iMacs users have to login to the server and start iPhoto on the server.
Thanks for the solution.

As per Jason's reply, there are two Terminal Server products available for Mac OS X. I have been testing both, both work in the same sort of way and will allow multiple simultaneous users to connect.
The typical approach is to (obviously) first to install one of these Terminal Server programs on your server. Then you (ideally) need another server hosting your Mac network home directories, and it needs to share the network home directories via NFS rather than AFP.
Note: Due to the way Mac OS X handles mounting AFP shares, you cannot have two users using the same share at the same time as the login defines the privileged's and the first logins privileged's would not be suitable for the second user, this is also why you cannot use "Fast User Switching" with two network login accounts when using AFP.
So, a client uses an RDC client (e.g. the free Microsoft Remote Desktop Client) to connect to the Terminal Server, this initiates a network login which access the users home directory via NFS.
RDC client (Mac or PC) ------> Mac Terminal Server <------ Mac network home directories
I have not tried iPhoto, but have tried various other applications, e.g. FileMaker, AppleScript, Microsoft Office 2004, etc. and the only problem I have hit so far is that Visual Basic in Office 2004 generates errors but Word and Excel otherwise work. Remember Office 2008 does not support Visual Basic (i.e. Macros).
I would actually expect iPhoto to work for multiple users as long as you use NFS. Using NFS for network home directories rather than AFP has actually 'fixed' a couple of badly written applications that had problems with AFP based network home directories, e.g. Adobe Acrobat 9.

PROBLEM DOWNLOADING PALM M500 DESKTOP ON MAC

When I tried to download the M500 Desktop Application on my Mac 10.6.6 I got the following message:
"You can't open the application Palm Desktop because the Classic environment is no longer supported." I have been using a Palm Tungsten E without any problem installing and hot syncing. What is wrong? Also I thought I was making a move up with the PalmM500. Was I mistaken?
Post relates to: Palm m500

All PalmOS devices have been discontinued for some time now...
After the E, Palm came out with the E2 and the TX. I have two of the TX's myself. They were faster and had wifi in them.
If you're happy with your E, there are many places online who can install a new battery. Try usedpdaparts.com or directfix.com.

Problems with using non usa keyboard (Mac OS X 10.6.7)

Hi,
I have MacBook Pro, (Mac OS X version 10.6.7), slovenian keyboard and when i type in Code View or Design View one of slovenian characters (š, č, ć , đ, ž) it is not written correctly. They are all written correctly if i for example write them in Find Window (Edit --> Find and Replace) etc. This is extremly annoying and i don't know what to do. I don't have similar problem with any of other mac programs only with macromedia ones. Any suggestions what can i do?
Thank you in advance for any answers.

Is the language (regional time zones and languages) correctly set? If not then you need to make sure it is Slovenian to matcvh your keyboard.
It is my experience that you can't mix and match the keyboards. For example, you can't use US standard Keyboard on a UK set system because the currency and date formats are all different in these two countries and so the pound sign £ and # will interefere with your work. This is just one example but I am sure there are many. The puctuation marks are all mixed up etc etc.

Has anyone else experienced problems when using iMessages on a Mac?

For me it isn't syncing all the messages which are on my iPhone, so not all the messages appear on my mac on the iMessages programme. Any ideas on how to fix this very annoying problem?

Hi,
No.
iMessages sent to the Phone Number are not synced at this time
The Process tend to send via the ID that was called (i.e the iPhone Number) and these do not sync to the Mac and the Messages app there or to any other iOS device.

Using Parallels Desktop for Mac

I have a Mac 10.5.8. I also am running Leopard. I want to be able to run Windows XP. I'm scared of getting a virus using Windows. So my question is this. Can I partition off space on my Mac, using Windows with Parallel 5? So if i get a virus that I can't get rid of, I can just rid myself of the partition. Is this possible?
Thank You!

Windows viruses will affect Windows, not the Mac. Parallels creates a pseudo-disk by creating a sparsebundle disc image. The disc image is independent of OS X in the sense that a virus infecting the Windows system on the disc image cannot migrate to the Mac anymore than it could if you had a separate PC.
That said you can use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition on your hard drive then install Windows on that partition. You can then create a Parallels virtual machine that uses the Windows installation on the Boot Camp partition.
For clarification 10.5.8 is a version of Leopard, not a Mac model.

Creative Cloud Connection - Using Multiple Desktops in Mac OS X Mountain Lion

I noticed that everytime I flip through my multiple desktops or OS X full-screen apps and come back to my home desktop the Creative Cloud Connection app pops open and is visible on my desktop. The AAM never did this before. Is there a way to shut this off or is an update coming to make this stop?

Thanks for the info. This concern has already been raised to the engineering team and they are working on this.

Firefox desktop for mac does not save history

Using firefox desktop for mac. Recently it stopped saving my history. Forward and back buttons still work, typing something in the address window will make it pull up places I've visited in the past, but only ones I visited two or three weeks ago. Nothing recent. "Show all history" brings up the window, but there is nothing in it."
Private browsing is not enabled. I have enabled "remember my browsing and download history."
Another answer suggested I might have an anti virus or something that is disabling history. I looked, but I don't have anything doing that. Safari and Chrome are both saving their histories normally.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Viber Desktop for MAC - Exporting chat history

For some reason when I upgraded to the new Viber earlier this month on my iPhone, all of my call and chat history vanished from my phone and I didn't have a chance to export it.
The chat history that got deleted on my iPhone is still visible on my MacBook Air.
My question is, does anyone know how to export chat history from a MAC? I know how to do it from an iPhone, but seeing as the history isn't on the phone I can't export it. I need to do it from the laptop, if possible

CC desktop app Mac sign in problem - stuck in a loop

When i try to sign in on the desktop app Mac it says I have signed out and I need to sign in again. This is a perpetual loop.
mac_os_10.7.5
many thanks for any help.

Abhijit,
I'm afraid that my problem with the CC Desktop App Home panel is NOT a disk permissions issue...
Per your suggestion, I verified my hard drive, repaired permissions, and rebooted my laptop. However, when I click on the Creative Cloud icon in the Finder's menu bar, the Home panel still displays a continually spinning gear wheel, as it did previously. The Apps panel is properly displayed, and the Files and Fonts panels display "coming attractions" messages; I don't have any projects in the Behance panel.
Prior to visiting this forum, I did a Google search on the problem of "CC Desktop App Home Panel Hangs," and I found a couple posts suggesting that the only way to cure this problem is to uninstall all CC/CS6 apps, use Adobe Cleaner to clean up the CS6/CC installation, and then reinstall all the apps via CC...and that doing all this does not necessarily prevent the problem for recurring.
I must say that I'm finding certain aspects of the Creative Cloud implementation to be surprisingly buggy. I've already lost a couple day's work to dealing with Creative Cloud installation and functionality issues--which is very frustrating, to say the least.
That being said, if you have any other suggestions, I'm willing to try them, as I would like to get my Creative Cloud installation working properly.

Blackberry Desktop for Mac Is Not Complete - Still Have to Use PC Version Sometimes

Blackberry Desktop for Mac is incomplete in this way - if your OS gets wiped out (as it wants to do upon initial install, as it tries to update your BB OS) - and if it gets hung in the process - as happened to me - then the ONLY way to fix is to go BACK to a PC and use the PC version of Blackberry Desktop.
It's incredible, but that is what I learned. I installed Blackberry Desktop for Mac. It wanted to initiate an OS upgrade first thing. I allowed it to do so and it wiped out the OS on my Blackberry. Leaving me with a 507 error. I called Verizon. They switched me to Blackberry. Blackberry said I could only get clear of the 507 error by finding a PC - somewhere - and installing Blackberry Desktop for PC on that PC.
Blackberry then switched me back to Verizon, and they said that since I didn't have a PC, they had to send me a new Blackberry - and they had to charge me for it! (They said that the local Verizon store could not repair the OS).
I refused to pay $50+ for a new phone necessitated by the failure of Blackberry Desktop for Mac to be able to deal with a 507 error. I spoke to Blackberry Support, again (this was about a 6 hour process), and they admitted that the provider - Verizon - did not support some sort of feature in the OS initialization process, meaning that Blackberry Dektop for Mac could not be used, one has to use Blackberry Desktop for PC no matter what in some circumstances (such as a 507 error upon OS upgrade).
Blackberry switched me back to Verizon. This time, Verizon stated that the local Verizon store could upload a new OS. So I shlepped off to the local Verizon store and, another hour later, they installed the new OS.
Once the new OS was installed, Blackberry Desktop for Mac was able to synch and works just fine (much better than PocketMac). However, my fear is that when the next OS update comes out, if the same thing happens again (i.e., if the OS update freezes again), I will be left having to either look for a PC somewhere to run Blackberry Desktop for PC, or go to the Verizon store.
So, word to the wise. Blackberry Desktop for Mac is not complete vis-a-vis Verizon. It cannot be complete if they tell you that you have to use Blackberry Desktop for PC in certain circumstances.

This is often the problem with the new features that Apple implement more and more for each functionalities and moving them to "the cloud" (iCloud).
Thus physically removing the files from the Mac makes the BBDM (logically) unable to sync with no-more existing files on the computer...
This is the case currently for the address book and iCal. I guess that new functionalities in iTunes might have the same effect. Haven't you enabled new features recently in iTunes?
Like "iTunes match" for example?...
Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)
