Showing a window in multiple Spaces

When I use the equivalent of Spaces in Ubuntu, I can pin a window to the screen so that it appears in multiple Spaces. Can I do this in OS X?

in spaces preference you can assign an application to "every space". this will make every window of this application appear in every space. you can not do it with just one window though.

  • Spaces confusing safari windows (on multiple spaces using command-tab)

    Wondering if this is happening to anyone else.
    I love spaces but something is messed when using safari windows on multiple spaces. Say I have two safari windows open on two different spaces, after command-tabbing to another app when I try to command-tab back to safari it doesn't always go to my last safari window. That is to say that sometimes it goes to the other safari window, and sometimes it doesn't. It's super unpredictable.
    Give it a try, open two safari windows on two different spaces and the command tab to another app and then command tab back to safari - and repeat... you'll find that it will just randomly go to the other window, and then back etc.
    Can't think of anything more annoying in spaces... that's got to be a bug.
    Anyways, let me know if it's happening to you.
    Jay.

    same issue. i have multiple safari windows with multiple tabs on multiple spaces. let's say one space is a rails space; so it has some terminals, safaris, firefoxes, all perhaps with 2 or more tabs. command-tab does not necessarily go back to the window of the app i was just in. whether it's safari or firefox or whatever. this is horribly un-intuitive. come on apple. that's like your thing, right?

  • Exposé show all windows of all spaces.

    Hello Folks,
    Is there a way to make Exposé show all my windows from all application from all my spaces. And I mean using the "All Windows" feature, not the "Application Windows".
    This is really the only thing I miss in OSX. (I'm a new user)
    Thanks in advanced!

  • Manage windows across multiple displays?

    Anyone know of a solution to manage windows across multiple desktops? I was thinking of something similar to the ability to have certain apps open in certain spaces, as you can do in the Spaces preferences. I frequently use mirroring of my displays and then revert back to having both displays have separate desktop (its a HTPC mac). A script to move all windows back to the main display after I revert back from mirroring would be great.

    Actually, if you don't mind having two copies of the content files on the computer (one set for each user account), using home sharing between the two accounts to transfer the music into her account might be the best way to go.
    For the basic technique, see Chris CA's post:
    iTunes Home Sharing now works between users on same computer
    Once you've got the connection set up and you're in her account, when displaying the library you're transferring music from (the library in your account), for your later transfers go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library".
    Once your music has transfered across to her library, she can delete the music from her library that she doesn't want. (That shouldn't affect the music in your library.)
    If you add music to your iTunes library, you can do the same to bring her library up-to-date with the new stuff (or vice versa, if she gets music into her library that you'd quite like in yours).

  • Mission control: display only windows from a space?

    I have a lot of terminal and browser windows open at any one time, all spread across multiple space. When I use Control-F3 Mission control displays all the windows for that application regardless of which space they are from. Is there a way to do something similar but only display the windows of the application that are in the current space?
    Thanks!

    You can open Mission Control, which will show your main space at first, and 4-finger swipe right (on Macbook Pro, I don't know the keys without a trackpad) to switch to the next. You will only see the active windows in the other space then.

  • Replace multiple space characters with a single space

    Hi,
    Oracle 11g R2.
    Looking for a way to replace multiple space characters in a row with a single space. For example, the text "abc abc" should look like "abc abc". I tried toying with replace, but it only works for the case of 2 spaces. Need a solution for the cases where there could be 2 or more spaces.
    select replace(column1, chr(32)||chr(32), chr(32)) from tablea

    Hi,
    If you had to do this without regular expressions, you could use:
    SELECT  REPLACE ( REPLACE ( REPLACE (str, ' ', '~ ')
                     , ' ~'
              , '~ '
              )     AS new_str
    FROM    table_x;assuming there is some sub-string (I used '~' above) that never occurs right next to a space.
    However, unless you're uisng Oracle 9 (or earlier, which you're not doing) you don't have to do this without regular expressions. As you can see, the way Solomon showed is much simpler.

  • Getting rid of Multiple Spaces in Code View (after Copying/Pasting)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to find a way to get rid of multiple spaces between words in Dreamweaver CS3's code view.
    Oftentimes, when I copy/paste text from elsewhere (e-mail, website, etc), the Dreamweaver code shows up with multiple spaces. Normally, that wouldn't be problem -- except that my blog's auto-tag plug-in doesn't detect selected phrases when there are multiple spaces between words, e.g., it'll detect "Swiss Alps" in a post but not "Swiss  Alps" (notice the extra space between words in the second phrase).
    If at all possible, I'd like to be able to keep Dreamweaver's text formatting option when I copy and paste, as that means I don't need to manually put words in bold/italics.So, is there a way to keep that option while getting rid of all the extra spacing between words?
    By the way, I'm familiar with Wordpress CSS, but not with Dreamweaver CSS. Not sure if there's any difference.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    I make it a point to never paste formatted text into HTML pages.  Formatted text from MS Office usually contains a variety of junk you don't want and I don't have that much faith in MS Word code removal tools.
    Bold and Italics from Word or Outlook should be changed to current HTML tags of <strong> for bold and <em> or emphasis for italics anyway.  Also see Logical Tags here:
    http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/logical.html
    Find and replace is good for removing whitespace if you know how to do it correctly. Make backup copies just in case things go wrong.  http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/whitespace.asp

  • Tile Safari Windows in Current Space

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to fix this apple script to only work on the windows in the current Space.
    --When in Safari, the coordinates {0,0} refer to the upper corner not including the menubar.
    tell application "Safari"
    -- For some reason Safari has two invisible windows
    set allWindows to (every window where visible is true)
    set n to (count of allWindows)
    -- Determine screen size of your machine
    tell application "Finder"
    set screenSize to bounds of window of desktop
    set screenWidth to item 3 of screenSize
    set screenHeight to item 4 of screenSize
    end tell
    -- Dividing by zero is bad
    if n is equal to 0 then return
    set windowWidth to screenWidth / n
    if (n > 0) then
    activate
    set x to 1
    -- Position each window in turn
    repeat
    tell window x
    set bounds to {windowWidth * (x - 1), 0, windowWidth * x, screenHeight}
    end tell
    set x to x + 1
    if x is equal to (n + 1) then exit repeat
    end repeat
    end if
    end tell
    The problem is that if I have multiple safari windows open, the variable allWindows is set to the number of safari windows in every space combined. I only want to tile the windows in the current space, and if I use this script as it is now it will tile them, but it will set their widths to allow for all windows in every space to be tiled along side. This leaves more empty space depending on how many other windows I have open.
    Does anyone know how to test how many windows are only in the current space?
    I'm terrible with Applescript, so specifics will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your reply, Pierre.
    Just in case anyone is wondering, I didn't write this script, I found it somewhere online and then promptly forgot where. However, it doesn't work very well if I have other windows in other spaces, so I wanted to see if I could figure it out.
    It's still not working correctly, it seems to work the same way as before:
    --When in Safari, the coordinates {0,0} refer to the upper corner not including the menubar.
    set theTargetIDs to {}
    tell application "Safari"
    set theIDs to id of every window
    set theIDs to reverse of theIDs -- to keep the initial stacking order
    repeat with thisID in theIDs
    set index of window id thisID to 1 -- try to change the index value
    if index of window id thisID is 1 then -- the window is in the current space
    copy (thisID as number) to the beginning of theTargetIDs
    end if
    end repeat
    theTargetIDs -- from front to back - the windows that are in the current space
    set n to (count of theTargetIDs)
    -- Determine screen size of your machine
    tell application "Finder"
    set screenSize to bounds of window of desktop
    set screenWidth to item 3 of screenSize
    set screenHeight to item 4 of screenSize
    end tell
    -- Dividing by zero is bad
    if n is equal to 0 then return
    set windowWidth to screenWidth / n
    if (n > 0) then
    activate
    set x to 1
    -- Position each window in turn
    repeat
    tell window x
    set bounds to {windowWidth * (x - 1), 0, windowWidth * x, screenHeight}
    end tell
    set x to x + 1
    if x is equal to (n + 1) then exit repeat
    end repeat
    end if
    end tell
    Am I missing something? I don't think that script is selecting only the windows in the current space- it's still tiling in every space. Can you take a look?
    Sorry for my incapability to help myself. :S
    Thank you.

  • IWeb starts but don't show project window on OSX Lion

    I used iWeb 3.0.4 on Snow leopard but after i updated to lion 10.7.3, iWeb don't show project window. When i click on the app, it launches then nothing on screen, no project windows. I have removed the plist files again and again but nothing changed. I have a website and there is two month that i can't modify it !

    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.

  • Show All Windows through Dock

    I'm sure there is an easy answer to this...
    When I was using SL, I could click and hold on an app in the dock to bring up expose all the windows for that app alone. I can't seem to do that in Lion. I have to click and then select Show All Windows.
    Is there a way for me to open it they way I used to in SL? I do have Mission Control enabled in Lion if that's what causing my issue.

    The issue was related to Spaces.
    Machine was migrated from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 and it looks like the Finder prefs and/or the Spaces prefs were corrupted.
    I deleted both preference files and all seems to be ok now.

    I have deleted windows7 in the boot camp but the partition macintosh hd2 is still there...if i try to install windows7 again,it is not showing the boot camp partioned space...

    Update:  I did an extended hardware test (just in case a hardware issue was causing my problem)--no problems found.  I then went through the Aperture troubleshooting steps: I tried repairing permissions first, but I still could not see any of the images that were in the Aperture trash.  I then repaired the library.  This seems to have fixed things (at least upon initial assessment).  Afterward, I was able to see the images that were in the trash.  I opened the Activity Window to see what it said when I tried emptying the trash again.  This time it said it was deleting exactly the number of images that I expected it to delete (not twice as many this time!), and it emptied lickety split--as I had expected it to do the first time!  So, hopefully, all is now well with my system and library.  Still wondering why it was telling me it was deleting twice as many images as were in the trash the last time I tried, but overall, much happier today!

  • Latest windows 7 patches and firefoz 18 - firefox not working properly - shows stacked windows and does nothing

    Jan 10 windows 7 patches, plus new firefox update today. Now firefox starts up and shows multiple, stacked window frames and "firefox not responding" messages on top border. after multiple firefox screen flashes (minutes of time), firefox may eventually display normal windows/frames. Selecting new site, firefox goes through same activities. Startup site is www.baynews9.com, then try going to www.cnn.com

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • Moving windows into every space via keyboard shorcut

    Hi all
    occasionally I need to see an app in every window, but not all the time. I was wondering if there was a script or a mouse click or keyboard shortcut to move and remove an app or window from every space.
    I know I can do this through spaces preference, but was just wondering if there is a way to reduce the steps.
    thanks
    prysm_1

    Hey rakem,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing an on-going issue in regards to the connectivity of your peripheral devices, in this case a USB keyboard. I completely agree that this issue sounds incredibly frustrating. I’d like to ask you a few questions to gather more information on the issue.
    Is the USB keyboard in question an Apple device or third-party? If it is the latter, it may be that the USB keyboard requires specific power requirements:
    Apple Computers and Displays: Powering peripherals through USB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049
    Note: Some USB peripheral devices not manufactured by Apple may have unique power requirements. These may exceed the power allotment on an individual USB port. Those devices may require you connect them to multiple USB ports or may have external power sources that must be present for them to function.
    Apple peripheral devices may request more than 500 mA (Milliamps) at 5 V (Volts) from a port to function or to allow for faster charging. Such Apple peripheral devices include:
    - Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive (when connected to supported computers)
    - Aluminum Wired Keyboard*
    - iPod
    - iPhone
    - iPad
    Also, I understand that you have tested this keyboard with a different computer, however I’d really love to hear the results of a test with another wired keyboard. This will help isolate if the issue indeed lies with the keyboard itself.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Need an APP to show Active Windows

    Can somebody please recommend an app for MAC OS that will display my active windows? The app can run in the menubar or dock, or mount next to the doc.
    Basically, something like the taskbar from Windows XP and Vista. Not Windows 7 as that shows the active programs, but not specific windows.
    I'm basically looking for an Expose alternative. So if I have 10 different windows running for Firefox, I can quickly look at my menubar or somewhere near the dock, and just click the window I want to see.
    Yes, I know that is what Expose is for, but I prefer to see me active windows without using a shortcut.
    So far here's what I've tried:
    -Going to System Preferences, and unchecking "Minimize windows into application icon" in the Dock settings. This offered a partial solution as the icons could not be distinguished for the same program. 10 firefox windows minimized would just show 10 firefox icons.
    -Googling the following terms:
    app switcher for mac
    mac expose apps
    show running apps in menubar
    show expose items in menubar
    pin active applications to menubar in mac
    always show expose for mac
    application management for mac
    I've also tried running these apps:
    alunch: http://mactips-lib.net/m/software/alunch/en/main.html
    WindowFinder 1.4: http://keakaj.com/windowfinder.htm
    Running Applications for Mac: http://www.altomac.com/running_applications/
    XMenu: http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/index.html
    Himmelbar: http://softbend.free.fr/himmelbar/
    All of these apps more or less place one icon in the menubar, which when clicked on shows your running apps, favorite apps, and system folders. This is fine, and is very similar to the windows start button. However, they all fall short because they only place one icon in the menubar, which must be clicked on to show active apps or active windows.
    Can you someone please point me to an app that will always be on my screen, and will show icons or labels of active windows. Again, similar to Windows taskbar before Windows 7. I know this is a difference in Mac and Windows, and that I can use the dock to see my active applications, and use the various shortcuts to see my windows, but there's got to be an app that will just always shows my active windows.
    So if I have Apple Mail Open, and have 3 compose new mail windows going, I would like to see 4 icons or labels somewhere in the menubar or near the dock.

    Right-click on the Dock icon and it should show you all the active windows.
    I haven't heard of anything like that. I don't know if a program like that exists as it would obscure screen space without much benefit that you can't get from clicking on an icon or activating Exposé.
    I searched for "show active windows" at MacUpdate, but didn't see anything like what you want in the first three pages.
