The contents of Spaces disappears after long inactivity!

OS X 10.7.2, 10 virtual spaces with assigned apps accessed as Ctrl1-Ctrl9. Everything’s definitely fine as long as I keep switching between them. If spaces are not accessed fro a certain (? maybe 30 minutes, maybe 2 hours - unknown), their contents... auto-disappears! Switching to a space results in a blank wallpaper, with the upper menu (near the Apple logo) containing the name of the recent app you just switched from. Mission Control would demonstrate all spaces abandoned >1 hour ago as empty! No minimized windows (as long as the Expose for the app cannot be shown - we are not in that app yet! The space “forgot” about the app being there), nothing.
Apps are demonstrated in the Dock as active, in the Application Switcher (e.g. Cmd+Tab) as running, and whenever summoned by clicking through either of these ways (or through Launchpad) immediately re-appears as they should be. One at a time though, all others need to be re-clicked likewise. For whatever apps that do not have “neighbors” on their desktops, e.g. occupy the whole space even if in different windows, I’d’ve never noticed the problem if I used Dock or Cmd+Tab to switch APPS. I do need to switch SPACES though, as 1) this is so easy with keyboard shortcuts 2) each space’s combination is important, e.g. Outlook is coupled to Finder on Space etc.
This happens to ALL apps including Finder -whenever the give Space has been left unattended for long enough. This never happens to any apps when you keep switching.
This only started to occur 3-4 days ago, the only event that took place about that time is MagicPrefs installation (could it possibly affect that?! OK, now I occasionally use 4-finger click for Cmd+W, so what?). This NEVER happened before, with spaces unattended for days keeping showing all the app windows as last left.
System resources (CPU, RAM, HDD) on the iMac 2011 are abundant (<1% CPU used etc.). No external displays.
Why could this happen to me, all of a sudden??? Thanks!

iTunes v10.5.1b2 fixed it. Thank you all

Why do the rulers (cmd R) disappear after using Print (cmd P) ?

Why do the rulers (cmd R) disappear after using Print (cmd P) ?

If you are referring to Pages v5.2.2 on Mavericks, or v5.5.1 on Yosemite — the rulers do not disappear in the Pages document when using the Print (cmd+P) keyboard shortcut. The document horizontal rules are temporarily obscurred by the drop down print dialog sheet.
I observe no evidence of disappearing rules unless they are forced via the cmd+R keyboard shortcut.

3G icon in the status bar got disappear after ios upgrade 8.1

Thanks for your quick response. I've tried everything you suggested and get only temporary fixes. Sometimes for a day or two, sometimes only until I use Safari for the first time. It's annoying and probably effects battery life between charges.
You would think that it must have some effect on the battery, but oddly enough, the update to iOS 8 actually helped my battery life, in spite of all of these hinky little issues that are taking place. In my experience, the activity icon is not affecting the battery in a negative way.
Another issue with IOS 8.1 that you may have seen is the loss of icon pictures on home pages. Again it seems to be Safari related, since app icons found in the App Store are not affected, only web based icons you personally put on home pages. I get what I call a test screen similar to what you used to get on old tv sets on every one of my personal icons.
I know exactly what you mean. I got that as well. On a few of them, when I opened the websites using the generic test screen icons and then closed them, they changed back to the way that they should look. For the ones that did not change, I recreated the home screen shortcuts and deleted the generic looking ones - the test screen icons.
And don't get me started on iBooks.
For the very limited use that I make of the iBooks app, i haven't noticed any problems, but I rarely use the app. I don't read books on the iPad other than a few user guides and if they are pdf guides, they reside in more reliable and feature rich pdf apps on my iOS device.
I wish that I had the fix for the spinning activity icon, but everything that I try, is temporary at best. IMO, this is the buggiest iOS update that I have seen, and I have been using iOS devices since iOS 3 on my first iPad. I realize that there are plenty of people that are not experiencing issues, but I have seen a number of weird things that I wish I could fix. None of my problems are major, but they are annoying.

The disk space disappears after bootcamp failed in deleting the windows partition.

Hardware: Macbook Pro 700
OS: Lion v10.7
1. I installed Windows 7 in my mac. The space of Windows partition is 80G.
2. Some dlls of Windows will always disappear and at last the Windows cannot be started successfully.
3. Yesterday I updated Lion and started the bootcamp to remove the Windows partition. But bootcamp throwed an error(I forget what the error is).
4. I started bootcamp again to try to remove the Windows partition, but there is only create Windows partition in the options.
5. I started the Disk Utilities and verified the disk. The reported result was that there were some errors in disk.
6. So I restarted the machine and pressed COMMAND+R and entered the Disk Utilities to repair the disk.
7. After repairing the disk, there are no errors in disk now. But 80G space disappears.
Now my whole disk is still 320G, but the mac partition is 238G.
How can I repair it? Please help me.

HT1414 can i recover the contents of my iphone after restoring to factory conditions

I am unlocking my iphone4 from Att. I will be able to restore the contents of it after the unlock?.

Sync your phone to create a current backup. Once done, hit the "Restore" button on the Summary Pane. Once complete, you should get the "Congratulations" screen. Then, restore your phone from the backup you created when you started.
That's all you have to do.

Disk Space Disappearing After Today's Updates - Please help

Hi there everyone. I'm having major problems with my mac pro today, and for the first time, I cannot fix it. Please help me. I will try to explain what happenned. Like most, I was very excited about the release of ios 5 today. I downloaded the Lion 10.7.2 update, the ios 5 updates, iTunes and the iPhoto update. I installed of these without problems and then I enabled iCloud. I then decided to first update and restore my iPad 1 to ios 5. This worked perfectly fine and my computer was running fine. Then, I decided to update my iPhone 4 next. This is when I started running into problems. I updated it and then went to restore it from a a backup. This did not work, I got an error message that told me it was unable to restore the phone becasue it was unable to create backup.
So, I then checked the disk space for the main Lion drive and it was at zero. I thought, well I was sure I had at least a few gigs, but maybe I used them. So i deleted enough files to create 5GB of free disk space. I then tried to run it again, and I watched as my disk space slowly went down to zero again. I thought maybe it needed even more space than that. So I rebooted the machine and yet my disk space did not reappear. I had about 200mb when I rebooted. Then i noticed it was randomly fluctuating and went down to zero again. I then deleted another 3gb of files and created more disk space to try again. The same thing happenned again. I have now rebooted the machine again. When it first rebooted it had 500mb of disk space, it then fluctuated and went down to zero again. It is going between 67mb and zero every minute or two, and then goes up to 400MB, then reduces down to zero again. What is happenning? I have not opened any applications except for safari right now. Do we think there is a problem with my virtual memory or disk all of a sudden? It seems strange this happenned today. it must be related to one of the updates? I thought it might be icloud. So I have diabled that completely and the fluctuations have not stopped.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can give. I cannot think what the problem is. I cannot even run Techtool to check anything because nothing is working with no space for memory. Every time I delete files it goes down to zero anyway.
Thank you very much

How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
 Cheers, Tom

HT4859 can i see the contents of my iphone after a back-up to icloud?

I just set my iphone to back-up on icloud and tried a sync. I don't see any of my apps or photos on icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see the back up file at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage..... But you can't see the contents of the backup file.
Is your profile correct, the iPhone 3G can't use iCloud.

Folder content (Application, Utilities) disappear after Software Update

Please help!
Folder content of Application and Utilities disappeared! Applications still working through shortcuts and Dock.
After performing another Software Update (iTunes 8.0, Security Update 2008-006 (PowerPC), Quicktime 7.5.5), a task that worked for many years on the same formated G5, the multiple errors listed in the log. Please note that I did this through Remote Desktop from a distant Mac.
Can Disk Utility fix this? Looks like the Update did not finish well.
Please help!

Hi Phil, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think Francine's page will cure this, it just picked up the Hidden Bit, happens to Disks and/or folders...
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/articles/invisible.html
Or use this...
show hidden files in OSX Finder
Open the terminal and type or copy/paste:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
Restart or Force Quit Finder required to take effect.

Spaces disappear after reflow

hello forum,
I use Acrobat Distiller Server 8.1.0, Built: 2007-09-0.
We have a problem with the PDF documents it creates. When a PDF is 'reflowed' using F4 in acrobat, all spaces are disappeared. In other words, all paragraphs show as a very long word.
I have checked all distiller options (we have not changed the default value), but I could not find one that could cause this problem.
As a side note: when we distill the same document with a very old windows distiller server, the resulting PDF has not the mentioned problem.
Do you know if this is an issue with that particular version, or is this something I can configure with the distiller options?
I appreciate your help.
Ruud

One of our customers has a similar problem.
- Documents build with an older Distiller on Windows (version 4.05) are OK.
- Documents build with an newer Distiller on Linux (version 8.1.0) show deleted spaces.
Although this is not with all fonts / text. Some text is displayed correctly.
The spaces are really gone. If they would be very small you might still have them if you copy the text to a text editor. But in the text editor there are no spaces. Since the space does not seem to be part of the glyphs stored in the pdf file it looks like there is another problem.
I have tested it also on Mac OS with version 8.0.0 and experience exactly the same problems.

Can my parents read the content of my messages after deletion from my phone?

Hello everyone,
First off, I'd like to thank you kindly for actually checking into this forum, it means a lot. Secondly, I have looked up a lot of information on this question, and I've been getting A LOT of mixed messages. It is to my understanding, that even though my parents are the bill payer for my phone, they do not have any right to request forms which reveal the actual CONTENT of my text messages. They CAN however, see the time, date, and how many text messages. That is just to my understanding. If someone could answer this question, please do.
Thank you.

I would just not text if you think they are going to ask verizon for what's inside them.
P.S She should be glad that she gets a free phone at all, I was age not that long ago and mean it, not in some old guy kind of way and I had to pay for my cell phone. Kids think that they Should a free NEW 20000+ car for free when they are 16 and all this crap. I am not saying I did not want any thing like that, but if I did not get it, I did not act like they hated me and crap.

How to I get stuff in the "Update" queue to disappear after they have updated?

My question says it all.

Past updates will show in the Updates tab in the App Store for 30 days after you downloaded the update - you can't remove them from that list. (Downloading future updates via your computer's iTunes and syncing them to your iPad will mean that they won't show in the Updates tab.)

The contents of Spaces disappears after long inactivity!
