Strange disappearances using Spaces

Hi all,
I noticed this problem today while I was working in Spaces. I've got four spaces running, and I've had around 8-10 applications running for the last while. In one space I have iChat running, so I'm frequently switching back to the iChat space. However, I've been noticing something odd. Occasionally when I switch back to my work space (with Safari, TextEdit or another program running) I notice that the window I was working in has disappeared. Say, for example, I was web browsing in Safari - I might switch to the iChat space, then back to the first one, and my Safari window will be gone.
It's not hidden. It's not minimized in the dock. If I right click on the Safari app in the dock, it has a check mark next to the window I had up, but I can't see it. I click that check mark and nothing happens. I hit command+M to minimize, and it goes to the dock, but when I pull it back up it turns invisible again. If I press F8 to go to the main Spaces page, I can't see it there either.
The one way I managed to fix this with Safari (apart from just restarting the program) is to open a new window in Safari and select "Merge All Windows". Then the invisible window becomes part of the new one.
This happens every few minutes, and I've noticed it with Safari, TextEdit, and Mail.

Hi,
I am seeing the exact same behaviour with Spaces on my iMac and my Macbook Pro.
My solution is:
1. Check the menu bar to make sure iChat is the front-most application.
2. Hide iChat (iChat > Hide or Command-H)
3. Unhide iChat.
All windows are back in town.
Cheers,
Walter

Invalid sizes for free/used space

Hi All
We have an ipod mini on an XP system. Worked for a few months without any real problems. Recently we upgraded the computer and have had all sorts of issues. The itunes and ipod software is current, we've got all the latest hardware drivers, and xp updates. The itunes and ipod updater both report about 114.5Gb (yes, Gbytes) of space. The updater says that we are current with v1.4 of the software and 114.5Gbyte Capacity. Go into itunes and it says that the library is 431 songs=1.55Gbyte but when I click on the ipod in itunes it says that we have zero songs and 45.92Gbyte used space and 65.87 free which is obviously crap as its a 4G mini. The ipod will not appear in the explorer even though its set to be used for data.
And I have set it up on my toshi notebook and it works fine, so it is not the ipod itself.
Anyone, please help. It has chewed up almost 10 hours of my day today and I cannot figure it out.
TIA

Samantha, is it possible you have network drives or an external drive attached to your computer? What you're seeing is a symptom of Windows confusing the iPod's drive with these other drives and therefore showing the incorrect capacities. The solution is to assign the iPod a drive letter that is far removed from those other drives.
If this applies to your situation, see this:

Phantom used space on HD

My PowerMac G4 hard drive, capacity 57.2GB, says 49.6GB used. But using both a finder window and Whatsize I can find less than 40GB of files on the drive. How can I free up the ~10GB of unaccounted for disk space? Thanks so much if you can help.

krider, welcome to Apple Discussions.

Disappearing disk space--do I have a virus??

My disk space seems to be disappearing like crazy.... I have a 100GB unformatted (93.04 GB formatted according to Finder) system HDD, and I examined the size of every subfolder in "Macintosh HD" and came up with this:
Users: 17.39 GB
Applications: 3.66 GB
System: 1.66 GB
Library: 5.82 GB
System Folder: 156.5 MB
Applications (Mac OS 9): 170.2 MB
Backups: 903 MB
=About 30 GB (not that it makes that much difference, but assuming 1000 MB=1 GB).
There is NO WAY that even comes close to 93 GB. Even accounting for slack space, that doesn't make sense. (I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of HFS+). And to my knowledge this system has no hidden partitions on it. My trash is also completely empty, yet Finder tells me I have ZERO KB of space. Any thoughts what could account for all that missing space and how I might go about recovering it???

You don't have a virus. Look at these links.

Evernote button now disappeared using Firefox 5.0

well, there you have it – a classical if then loop.
seems i'm still stuck somewhere in the middle of the amavisd.conf nightmare. had amavisd-new 2.4.5 / spamassassin 3.1.8 up and running after a real nightmare (which had to do with daemonize=1).
after i tried to get up-to-date with amavisd-new 2.5.1 and spamassassin 3.2.1 i saw the same problems (see below) again, while launchd tried to get amavisd started.
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: exited with exit code: 2
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: respawning too quickly! throttling
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: 9 more failures without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: will restart in 10 seconds
remembering the previous troubles, i double checked all things, which could be set wrong (daemonize, etc.) and all was well. tried a second install and all to no success.
later i had the idea, it might be the new amavisd.conf, which troubles (why ever) the startup. so i used the v2.4.5 one and lo and behold, it worked. but why? what is so strange/new/different in 2.5.1, that the startup of amavisd gets broken?
now i read, that they changed a bunch of stuff and i certainly would be using the newer versions conf file, but it seems i don't get it right configured. i'm on the latest updated 10.4.9 server with all fixes installed. every service is working, mail gets in/out and gets even tagged.
well, i didn't do the setup with the 2 users junkmail/nojunkmail yet. is it really necessary to set them up as local users? can't they be handled as every other user which has mail enabled via wgm?
anyone can help me here? thx.

Problem with hard disk and growing used space.

Hi.
I'm watching Activity Monitor and I noticed a strange thing.
Well, the used space is growing without installing or doing anything. I didn't install anything since I clean-installed Lion.
I have turned on the computer just 3 minutes ago and Writed data is in 220 MB. If I wait half an hour it grows to 500 or 600 MB.
The problem is that it is doing this every time that I turn on the iMac.
What is happening here?
Thank you.

Any ideas about that?

IPod Used space differs from space used in iTunes

The total capacity for my 20GB iPod color is about 18.5 GB
My songs in iTunes take up 8.33 GB, according to the info at the bottom of the iTunes window. But when clicking on iPod on the left under "source," the iPod info reads that i have 8.49 GB used. Now here's the thing. I have no podcasts. No photos. No items on the hard drive. Nothing else but music. AND, I have about 30 songs on iTunes that are unchecked so that they are not updated into the iPod.
So shouldn't my Used space on the iPod be LESS than the amount of music I have in iTunes? Why is it more?
Any ideas?

This may be the problem.

How to get all GroupSpaces name using Spaces API, irrespective of user logged in?

Hi
Can anyone please tell me, how to retrieve list of all group spaces using Spaces API. I have used this method getGroupSpaces(null) to retrieve all group spaces, however it returns only the logged in members groups.
Is there any way to get all groupspaces details?
Regards
Raj

i don't think so other than admin user can get all group spaces informaiton, is it possible in webcenter portal:spaces default deployment?

I accidently unplugged my iPod before ejecting it and now all my music is gone. Although it says that there is used space. I have music on a few different computers and not all backed up on one computer. Help! How do I get my music back?

I accidentally unplugged my iPod before ejecting it, which has never been a problem before. But today it says theres no music on it even though it says there's used space. I don't have my iPod backed up and my music is on several different computers. Help!! How do I get my music back?

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Is there any reason not to use spaces in document file names anymore in a document library?

We are revamping our sharepoint document library file naming conventions. In lots of blogs and tutorials, I have seen over and over the recommendation to use underscores instead of spaces in document file names in sharepoint. Part of this is I think to prevent
the infamous %20 in URLs pointing to the documents. That doesn't really concern us and we don't generally have file names that approach 256 characters. We don't want to go the route of having different document names than document titles so we want our
document names to be a clear and readable as possible. We think that using spaces (and occasionally dashes) in the file names makes them more readable, and sharepoint 2010 seems to be able to search these file name correctly. An example document file
name would be "elephants - how to clean elephant cages".
Has anyone run into a reason to avoid using spaces and dashes in document file names in sharepoint 2010? I don't want to start using spaces and then be sorry I did down the road. Thanks!

It isn't going to lead to the fall of western civilisation.
You will get longer and messier URLs for documents but it's very unlikely to cause issues. There have been some bugs in the past where hyphens in particular can be mis-encoded in searches but they only affect a small range of build numbers if memory serves.
I much prefer using no spaces for document libraries as it makes the starting URLs so much cleaner but that's a style question. For documents unless you've got a very strict document naming standard spaces are common and dashes aren't uncommon.

Used space, nothing stored in my ipod mini

I had to reset my mini, so it would show up on my computer...now when I try to update, it says there are 3 GB of used space, but nothing in my library or on the ipod. What did I do wrong?

Heather,
I don't think you did anything wrong, it's just one of those odd software glitches that crop up from time to time.
Restoring the iPod to factory settings should cure it.

Why don't I see shapes (created with my iPhone 5s) in creative cloud (for iOS) and used space in CC is 0 MB? Where are they stored?

I installed Adobe Shape on my iPhone (iOS 8) and don't see, where the shapes are saved.
In CC app for iOS there are no files (and used space in CC is 0 Mb). And I don't see my shapes in your other your apps (for iOS: Ideas, Photoshop Mix).
How can I export shapes to any files storages?

The CC app for iOS does not currently show assets in CC Libraries. The app only shows assets in folders. Check out this thread for details on how to get your shapes.
How do I use shapes I create in Adobe Shape?

Rapid and Huge growth of of used space of temporary tablespace

Hi,
Have a query (select) that run quick (no more than 10 seconds).
As soon I insert the data into a temporary table or even on physical table, the temporary table used space starts to growth very fast. The used space is totally used and the query crash since e reach the limit (65GB), or even more if I add more table files to temporary tablespace!
The problem also happen only if the period (dates) is one year (2013). If the period is the first trimestre of 2013 (same amount of data), the problem does not happen!!
I also confirm that on another instance ( a test one), even with less resources this ORACLE behavior do not happen. I confirm differente execution plan queries, between the two instances .
What I really do not understant is the behavior of the ORACLE with the huge and rapid growth!!!
Any one experiment such a similiar situation?
Thanks in advance,Rui
