Spaces Still On, Though Disabled in Preferences

So I set up Spaces where for instance Safari is in every space, Mail/AddressBook/iCal are in space 2, etc... I then decided to turn spaces off. Even after the 10.5.1 update (this happens in 10.5 too) I can move within the spaces I set up via the keyboard shortcuts, plus the apps I assigned are still linked though Enable Spaces in the Spaces preference pane is unchecked.
Is this the correct behavior? At first I was confused after logging back in and launching Mail, seeing that it was open in the menu bar, but the app was no where to be seen. Shouldn't the bindings be ignored if Spaces is disabled?

Is anyone able to reproduce this, if it is in-fact a bug?
1) Enable Spaces
2) Assign apps
3) Disable Spaces
4) Attempt to navigate through and launch apps that reside in those spaces

How do I turn Exposé/Spaces off, without access to System Preferences because I disabled it's space?

I accidentally disabled a column of spaces where I had my System Preferences running, in "Exposé and Spaces".
Now I cannot access my System Preferences at all.
I can see System Preferences as a running application in the doc and command tabbing though running applications. I can also get to it this way and see the menu bar on the top of my screen and click through the menus and drop down menus, however I cannot see any windows.
I know that I can open different windows for if the System by selecting something in the drop down menus. Then I see the selected window if I click and hold down on the dock icon of the system preferences. However, as soon as I try to click on the window it disappears.
I know that my problem would be solved if I could turn off Spaces but how do I do this if I cannot access it though System Preferences?

After a long struggle and research I found a solution.
I discovered Spaces exists in the Utilities folder in Applications.
When I opened the application from here it gave me the 3 spaces I had assigned, vertically displayed, with the system preference window sitting, outside and fairly large, hovering, partially infront of it all the other screens. After several tries of grabbing and disappearing it finally let me drag and drop the window into one of the screen.
I am really relieved now!!

Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?

I'm using a workstation graphics card that allows for GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.
Selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of 'CPU Preview' under the 'View' toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a more choppy experience.
Which leads me to wonder:
Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?
Does GPU acceleration for my gpu actually improve the performance for my work?

If you disable the GPU acceleration in preferences then you'll be unable to enable GPU preview under the view menu. It will automatically go into CPU preview as the GPU is no longer enabled.
If you're experiencing choppy performance when you do have the GPU preview selected, something is amiss because any GPU that can support GPU acceleration should be able to do it without a performance hit.
What is the video card that's in the workstation?

[SLVD?]Openoffice fonts have bad spacing, hair spaces still don't work

Compare the first pic of Times New Roman in Openoffice, with the second pic in mousepad. (They are both size 12, I have no clue why the Openoffice one is smaller than the mousepad one.)
The spacing between the letters in the Openoffice version looks funny for some reason. You can really see the difference at the "as I cannot" and "example".
Why are the Openoffice fonts like this? Is there any way to make them normal? I have tried using other fonts, but Liberation and DejaVu also exhibit the same behaviour.
EDIT: Also, hair spaces don't work in Openoffice.
EDIT2: I realized that Openoffice was at an 83% view, and at 100% view it looks better.
Hair spaces still don't work though.

Some fonts don't support hair spaces. I have only checked a few fonts, but so far none of the MS fonts contain the hair space, U+200A. Times New Roman, Courier New and Arial don't have that glyph.

Files disappeared after running disk utility disk repair but still space still remains. how do i recover the files?

stupidly repaired my external hard disk without backing it up via mavericks's disk utility repair option.
After the repair, all my folders disappeared but at the same time I noticed that the disk space still remained the same. Is there anyway to get these files back? My thesis is on it.

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

I have followed the instructions to reset my password but i am still unable to disable my iPad. How do i get my iPad to stop the disable and turn it on?

Might you have a newly acquired iPad that is still locked to someone else's Apple ID? If that is the case, then you will need the former owner's Apple ID and password to proceed. That feature is called Activation Lock and described here:

If you cannot get that former owner's Apple ID and password, you will never be able to use the iPad.

HT201352 Tried everything and still get ipod disabled on screen Help please if possible

I have tried to reset and erase and all the things online and I still get ipod disabled on the screen I don't know what is wrong Can someone offer a different suggestion

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

I am running out of hard drive space so I clear 32GB of space at midnight, went to bed. When I wokle up I had no space left even though I had not used the computer, the system.lg is FULL of stuff and I have no HD space anymore? What's eating it up?

WORD TO THE WISE
the OmniDiskSweeper was a very helpful download, because it laid out the HD and all the files on it in a "largest to smallest" fashion. When I did this I found that I had an inordinate amount of memory being taken up in my Mail Data folder, this did not make much sense so when I dug deeper I found that a 59MB scanned file that I had emailed 3 weeks ago had not been delivered, so the computer was retrying every minute and saving the history of what it was doing, so it was saving the 59MB file as well as the log about the 59MB file and hence for the last 3 weeks it's been chewing away at HD space recording the activity of the undeliverable file.
I deleted the Data record folders and removed the yahoo account from My Mail and reinstalled it with proper IMAP information and the HD is secure and holding at 331GB of free space. Like it ought to be.
I love the fact that if something very strange is happpening on your MAC there is a REASON....find it and fix it, and move on. In the PC world you would reboot 20 times, call some guy in India who will ony try to sell you a new subscription or warranty for $99 and never solve anything.
I am at rest once more, thanks for the tip

My apple id was disabled, and i reset the password but it still says its disabled. Has anyone solved this problem?

my apple id was disabled, and i reset the password but it still says its disabled. Has anyone solved this problem?

I solved that particular problem for myself (although I am running iTunes 11 under Snow Leopard on an iMac) by deselecting one of my Users Admin. privs. You see, I had two users w/admin privs & iTunes now plays nicely when there is only one admin.
Otherwise, I would keep getting stuck in an "infinite loop" of resetting passwords over & over and still iTunes was a mess - albeit on an intermittent basis which was absolutely driving me nuts!
I also think that firing up Safari and signing into my account @ apple first seems to help; providing that an apple cookie gets placed in my machine before I go to the iTunes store and enjoy surfing around there.
Anyways, good luck~

I dropped my phone in water for a few seconds, but it still works. I went to charge the phone but it fried the charger. It still works though. I just cant charge it. Does anyone know what i should do?

Does anyone know what i should do? it actually burnt the tip og the charger and was smoking I have no idea how the phone is still working. I do not want to buy a new phone.

Hi Sean,
If it fried the charger, then there is something seriously wrong with it. You need to take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at, and be prepared to be told that you will need to get a new phone. If you can't charge it, it will be useless to you in a matter of days anyway. Also, do not even try to hook it up to your computer....you will probably cause serious damage to the computer and be even worse off than you are now.
Sorry about your troubles. But for your own safety, you need to have the phone looked at! Don't wait - if you wait until it has no more charge left, then no one will be able to recharge it to look at it....
Cheers,
GB
