Trying to get to app "off" the desktop, clamshell to internal display probl
I'm only seeing this problem with one application but it's a problem.
For a while now I've been running in clamshell mode with my external display at a fairly high resolution. I had an application window in the far right hand corner of my screen where I could use it as needed. I shut down and am now working from the internal display which has a lot lower resolution.
When I invoke almost all the applications, they are smart enough to realize the reduced desktop resolution and open somewhere on the desktop. However there is on application that is trying to position in the same absolute position which means I don't get any access to that application. I know the app is there because if I scroll from one panel to another in Spaces, I see the application window go by.
Is there any way to "scroll off" the desktop to that position and drag the app window back to the current desktop? The only solution I found was to remember to move the application to some other place on the desktop before I stop using clamshell mode.
Thanks
Just hold the app down until the all start to 'wiggle', then drag the app or apps you don't want from your home page to a new page.
You can't delete it, or any of the standard iPhone apps, but this gets them out of your way.

How to delete an app off the desktop, without removing it from the dock
Yep. I thought you would just drag it to the trash (like Windows) But when I do that, it deletes the whole Application.
Hello there ...
When you move files or apps from the desktop to the trash that is what you are doing, trashing them. If you want to keep the application (and keep it's shortcut in the dock, 'cause that what the dock is ... Shortcuts ...), then move the application either into /Applications or your user folder, then the dock shortcut will remain and the app will still work, but just not be on the desktop ...
Hope that makes sense and helps ...

Trying to Get Some Information Off the Computer
Hey.
I'm doing a powerpoint for a school project using the Microsoft Powerpoint System on the Mac. I need to be able to save it to some kind of disk, and be able to start it up on another teacher's regular PC. I'm putting in a blank disc, and I try to save it using the iDisk, or whatever, but it doesn't show up! I know the answer is probably really obvious, but I'm at a loss for what to do! If this is completely not right, then could someone just give me another explanation for moving all this information?
Thanks in advance,
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!On the desktop, use Finder to go to the folder where you have saved your PowerPoint Presentation.
Insert a blank CD into the disk drive. After you see the icon for a CD on your desktop, click on the saved powerpoint presentation and while holding down the mouse button drag it, and drop it, on the CD icon. -

Hi
I'm trying to update my apps using the creative cloud desktop app. I can't see any apps in the app tab, the wheel just spins round and round and nothing happens. Has anyone got any ideas? I've tried uninstalling the desktop app and reinstalling but it still has the same problem.
Cheers
RachelHi Rachel,
You can follow the article: App doesn't open | Progress wheel spins continually to get your issue fixed.

i am trying to install msnbc app from the app store and keep getting an error message. The app will not install. What can i do?

Disable your firewall/security software and try again. -
I downloaded an app off the store which said it was free and part of the 5 year promotion.
I've been charged for the app by the store. I don't want the app and there's no one to speak to about it.
Who can I call?
How can I get the app off my phone?
How do I get my money back from something I wouldn't have ordered?You cannot call anyone. You contact them as everyone else does: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You delete the app as you do any other app. Hold an icon until they wiggle. Tap the "x". This is covered in the manual. -

how do i delete from the startup disk? I am trying to get Mountain Lion from the App store and it says that the purchase was not complete because i need 4.06 GB space to download OS x 10.8. and to remove items from my startup disk to increase space. How?
ThanksYou can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located. -

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.
I would start with some basic troubleshooting.
