Spaces and plugin windows

Is it possible to get plugin windows to sit in a different "space" on Leopard?
I'm using Logic on a macbook and it would be nice if I could keep open plugin windows in a different space to the arrange.

No, it isn't possible, alas. They will appear in every space in which Logic is active, though you don't see that in the Spaces overview window.
Tip: V is the shortcut to toggle plugin windows. Very responsive command.

Spaces and Missing Windows

I've been using 10.5 since its release, and prefer to work with a number of Spaces open. Without fail, a number of times per day an application (seemingly random) will disappear from its Space, and (though still clearly running) be unable to be recovered unless I:
1. Hide it using the dock, then click to reappear (usually successful)
2. Manually assign the application to a specific space, then remove.
I've seen a number of discussions on other forums with users having the same problem, but it has gotten to the point that I don't want to use this machine for development anymore. I assumed it was a problem related to Spaces, but other posters have mentioned similar problems with Spaces turned off, so now I'm not as sure.
I'd like to know if
1.) Anyone has found a permanent solution for this problem (that doesn't involve going back to 10.4...)
2.) Is this a problem Apple is aware of and feverishly working to correct?

The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure any 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatible.
Good luck in any case.

Spaces and Finder windows

I have set up two Spaces, one for web/internet apps, and one for music apps.
For each space I have a set of different Finder windows open.
However, when I log off and log on again, Spaces doesn't automatically open the second space, which means the two Finder windows belonging to "space 2" gets lumped into "space 1". I therefore have to manually drag the two Finder windows to "space 2" every time I log on.
Is there a way to automatically assign these windows to the space they belong? Or is this manual step required for each login?

it seems inconsistent that Finder windows (not application windows) can be assigned to a specific space one minute, while this setting is "forgotten" when I log on.
You cannot assign a window to a workspace, you can only assign an application to a workspace - and yes, the Finder is an application. Opening a window does not assign it to anything because - repeat after me - you cannot assign a window to a workspace.
And why are you mentioning programs in connection with Finder windows
A) because the Finder is an application so it behaves just as any other application does and B) because you still do not seem to understand that only an application can be assigned to a workspace, not a window
Maybe I am misunderstanding something
Yes, you are, see (A) and (B) above
Maybe this will do what you want - but I doubt it. Open the System Preferences and select the Expose & Spaces control panel. Select the Spaces tab. There's a list of all the applications to which you have assigned a workspace and at the bottom left of that window pane is a plus icon. Click on it to see a list off all the running applications that haven't been assigned to a space yet. You'll see the Finder there in that list. Select it and then look for Finder in the list of applications in the Window pane. Now you can assign the Finder to a specific workspace or to all workspaces.
Play with this for a while and if you don't like Finder assigned to a single workspace or to all workspaces, you can return to the control panel and delete it.

Spaces and an external display

I've had a search around and i can't find a way of doing this, maybe someone else has worked it out....
I have a shiny new external display and i'd like to assign a particular space to it - is this possible? otherwise all i end up with is a duplicate of what i have on my MB Pro screen or I have to disable spaces.
any clues fellow mac fans?

This is what I found works for me. Some programs work fine for this method others don't. I first go in and set all the apps in spaces preferences to the corresponding space they belong to. This gets them to the basic location I want. I usually use two apps together on the two screens such as Bridge and photoshop. Open the application you want to use on the external monitor. It should open on the correct space assigned to it initially.
Now you choose the spaces icon on the dock. This brings up all your spaces with the corresponding external monitor space next to it. Drag the application from the internal space screen to the external space screen. Now choose the app you just moved. This will take you to the correct space and app window. Close the app. When you open the app again it should open with its window in the external monitor. The applications menu bar stays on the main monitor but the window is where you placed it.
As I said this works for most apps but not all. You will find out which ones don't quickly. Then just open them and once you get to the app window drag it over to your external display.
I usually start all my apps I will be working on and arrange them like I want fixing the ones that don't start on the correct display. Then it is easy to change spaces and have my work area ready to go.
One thing I discovered in Pages is if I close a file that is displayed on the external monitor the same file when opened again will show up on that monitor. Comes in handy if you work on multiple documents. You just save the file on the window you want it to appear in the next time you need it.

I recently deleted a partition on my mac that was intended to install windows. Now it is just blank space. I attempt to resize my Macintosh HD partition to cover entire hard drive space and hit apply but nothing happens (disk utility). Any ideas?

I have a few problems...
I wanted to make a partition to install windows, I tried to use bootcamp 5 where it wanted to partition and install windows at the same time. I do not have a cd of windows but instead had it on a flash drive. Bootcamp couldn't find it. Instead I was reading forums and found that there was another way to install windows by partioning your harddrive using the disk utility, downloading the bootcamp drivers, and installing rEFIt (an app that when starting the compouter a menu would come up to boot windows from the flashdrive). I try that and the windows install screen gets me to the point where I pick a partition. I attempt to pick the partitioned drive but a message comes up telling me that "this is of the GPT partition style" and windows cannot be installed on the drive.
So now I went back to disk utility and deleted the partition but there is still blank space. I wanted to retry and install windows through bootcamp (somehow) but a message comes up that there cannot be any partitions or that a partition must be created using bootcamp. SO i keep trying to drag the partition over the blank space and hit apply but nothing happens.
By the way I was trying to install windows 8 pro, some forums would say that you cant install win8 however I found others that said you could. How do I fix my partition and how do I use bootcamp to install windows (preferrably 8)?

Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
This will open a series of windows with tabs.
Select the tab for photos.
Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
They will be removed.

[Serious BUG] Youtube crashes to death; fresh Windows 7 install; firefox and plugins updated; plugin-container.exe disabled; noway

This happens to me and to two friends of mine. So it's hardly a coincidence.
I have done a fresh Windows 7 install (for other reasons) so I thought this problem (which I had since about version 8.0) would disappear. I was wrong.
Firefox and plugins are updated:
Firefox 13.0
Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
GPU video drivers are also updated.
I came across the "plugin-container.exe solution" but it didn't solve the problem.
How to reproduce the bug.
Visit Youtube and click on some video. Minimize Firefox. Wait some seconds. Next time you restore the window Firefox crashes, you have to kill plugin-container.exe from the task manager OR you have to restart the entire browser in case you've disabled the plugin container.
The same bug should occur when having various tabs open and one of them is Youtube with a video playing. But also when Firefox has no focus and you have other windows on top of it (and a Flash video running or even paused).
Since this does happen:
-with a fresh install;
-with everything updated;
-even disabling the plugin controller;
it seems very very strange to me that this problem is STILL present since version 8.0 (or even before) and that there is so few reports of this bug around the internet.
I'm not complaining here, I'm just showing my perplexity about almost noone having this bug which is ruining my (and my friends') Firefox experience since the past years.
My purpose here is:
* to let you know about this problem;
* to know if other are experiencing it;
* hopefully to keep giving support to this thread and answer to your questions about this bug so to help this thing being fixed;

For problems that occurred with Flash 11.2 and earlier, you might want to consider disabling graphics hardware acceleration in both Flash and Firefox.
'''Flash'''
Right-click any video in Flash Player and choose Settings.
Clear the checkbox for "Enable hardware acceleration"
'''Firefox'''
Save all work (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Restart Firefox.

HT4410 I have a new mac mini, do I have enough space to download Windows 7, and can I just download the software or purchase a disc?

I have a new mac mini, do I have enough space to download Windows 7, and can I do it through online purchase or disc? My bootcamp assistant mentions using a USB flash drive???

Yes you do have enough storage, you only need let's say 10GB to properly install Windows with a few (very small) programs. You'd be best of just going to a store and buying a Windows 7 install DVD (not an upgrade one!), or using one that you might have laying around at home. You can also purchase Windows 7 via the Microsoft online store and than burn it to a DVD. It is possible that installing from a USB-drive works, but I have not tried this yet.

How do I find the home page to update plugins? Google Update, Google Earth Plugin, Windows Live Photo Gallery. I have been to the Google plugins page and found nothing. Thank you. .

I am using Window 7 and Firefox 5.0.1

Google Update, Google Earth Plugin, Windows Live Photo Gallery Plugin all show up as unkown plugins in the Plugin check. Windows Live Photo Gallery is part of Windows Live Essentials.
I searched the Microsoft Web-site in general and specifically Windows Live Photo Gallery and could any version numbers. My current version of Windows Live Photo Gallery Plugin is shown as 15.4.3508.1109 last updated Novmber 10, 2010. I did an internet search and this appears to be the version number for Window Live Essentials 2011. Filecluster.com lists the latest version of Windows Live Photo Gallery as 15.4.3538.0513 updated on Jul 07, 2011. I can find no versions or dates for the plugin.
Thanks.

When I push to installl plugins Adobe Flash Player 10.3 comes on and runs for up to 3 hours without stopping. I cannot acces my classroom witout the plugin window popping up.

When I log onto PMI for my classroom the install plugins window comes up, I press install and the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 pops up and it has been running now for 3 hours, is this normal? I have shut it down but had the same problem when I again tried to access my online classroom. What do I do?

Hi, Sometimes users with understanding of what Adobe programs you are using will post. It doesn't happen very often.
If you had a personal computer and had problems with Flash Player then of course this Forum would be where it would be addressed.
Flash Player is used with all of the Adobe programs and when those programs are involved, then those Forums relate to Flash Player from those perspectives. Flash Player is not a standalone, that would be the Projector. Neither is Flash Player unrelated to the Adobe programs you use.
These terms: fast switching the slides, the player crashes in cases, when a progressive videostream is canceled, Tweener, the gui for the volume control before the gui is initialized, so the player try to access a null reference. It is for me impossible to develope content
told me clearly that your issue involves much more than Flash Player, debug or not.
If you can see the animation at this site and the correct version of Flash Player is displayed, then Flash Player is Installed correctly and should be working. If not, then since I'm not versed in the programs you are using and possible conflicts, I would not be the one to assist you. So your choice is to wait here on this Forum for someone that can, or take my advice and start a thread on one of the other applicable Forums.
Also you have a Mac. We have more threads that the Mac users put up than Mac helpers:-)

I'm running Ver. 17.0.1 on windows 7 and this morning all my extensions and plugins have just dissapeared. Help

Opened Firefox this morning and all addon extensions & plugins including my Roboform password manager are gone. In tools, Addons, extensions and plugins everything is blank. How can this happen? I'm running Windows 7 64bit Enterprise and this version of Firefox automaticly upgraded when it came out and everything was accepted by this version when it installed. It has been running for sometime now.
Thank you,
jimmyboy01

ok, glad that you could fix it in the meantime anyway :-)

Spaces and inactive Firefox windows.

I have noticed that whenever I click the Firefox icon in the dock or select it from the app switcher and it appears from a different space that none of the Firefox windows are active. For example, I just switched to a different space after typing the above sentence and switched back to Firefox by clicking the dock icon and the window that was previously active is now inactive. This is pretty frustrating when I choose Firefox, it switches to the space and I have to click on the window in order to start using it.
Has anyone else run into this behavior?

Me, three. This is a (managable) pain. I haven't noticed it in any other applications; so, I'm going to submit a bug to the Firefox development team.

Hyper-V: Why difference between "Free Disk Space" and "Inspect Disk" for a VM (Guest OS is Windows 2008, 2008 R2, 2010, 2010 R2)

I am trying to figure out the "Free Disk Space" on a VM on Hyper-V host.
When I see the available space inside the VM, shown by Microsoft OS, it is less than, what is reported by the ‘Inspect Disk’ utility of Hyper-V Manager.
Why this difference?

Hi,
Is it the exactly 10% free space when the issue occurs? Please run a chkdsk in CMD on that partition and see the size of available space matches the 10% - I'm thinking if it is actually full when a part of disk space is not calculated.
In my test I created a 9.87GB partition and keep copy a 1GB file on it. Now it only has about 130MB free space but I can still add txt file with small size onto it. So what's the exact message you got?
If it is a warning (but users can still add files onto it), please see if this will help:

Welcome to Apple Communities
You can delete the partition in Boot Camp Assistant or use Camptune to modify it

I allocated too much space on the Windows side when using bootcamp and want to take some space back for the Mac side is there any easy way to do this?
