Unable to move applications/documents between spaces--why?

I've noticed this the last couple of times I've used spaces on my _*Macbook Pro:_*
I'll have 4 spaces, each with a different application or document. When I try and move a document or application to a different space, I simply can't. It's as if the applications are frozen in those spaces.
In other words, I can't move applications between spaces. They seem frozen in their spaces.
In both instances, my Macbook Pro is plugged into a Powerpoint projector using the adapter. My Macbook is set to mirror displays so as to project on the screen.
No problems pre-Snow Leopard
Any ideas?

Never mind I just fixed the problem by searching around the community and finding this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4024312
Anyway it was as simple as holding down the application in the dock and just selecting "Options -> Assign to -> None (rather than All Desktops).

  • Move recorded document between scripts using session map

    Hi all experts on scripting!
    We have a 2 scripts ! First script is a callback script that is recording a message from the calling customer which is saved in a"recorded document" that will be played towards an Agent when he/she is picking up the callback call.
    The (Callback) script first records a message from the customer which is saved in a document (not stored in a repository). The Callback script is then doing a "call redirect" to a new script (Agent script) where the agents are answering the callback calls!
    Now we want to move the recorded document/prompt from the "Callback script" in a variable to the "Agent script" so when an Agent is selected he will hear the Callback message from the calling customer and also "receive a voicemail with the recording + CallerID ...in case if the agent doesn't get through to the calling customer!
    Can we úse "get session" and "set session" for this and if so how?
    Rgds Mikael

    Here is a step-by-step of the process to use a Session Object to store and retrieve a Document.
    Script 1
    Variables
    Session the_session = nullDocument the_recording = DOC[]
    Script
    ...You just captured the recording in the variable the_recording.../* Grab a reference to the Session */the_session = Get Contact Info (--Triggering Contact--, Session)/* Store the Document in the Session Object *//* In the properties of this step, you will need go to the Context tab and Add a new context: Name = "the_recording"; Value = the_recording */Set Session Info (the_session)...Now you do your Call Redirect...
    Script 2
    Variables
    Session the_session = nullDocument the_recording = DOC[]
    Script
    ...You have just accepted the call.../* Grab a reference to the Session *//* In a Call Redirect scenario, this is the same Session from Script 1 */the_session = Get Contact Info (--Triggering Contact--, Session)
    /* Retrieve the Document from the Session Object */the_recording = Get Session Info (the_session, "the_recording")/* You now have the Document the_recording in this second script */...Now you are ready to play the recording to the Agent...

  • Why can't I move some apps between screens?

    I am unable to move most apps between screens. After making it movable, and attempting to move the app to another scene, it just bounces off the edge.

    Hi: It can indeed be a tricky maneuver until you get accustomed to it. When the Icon you wish to move is at the edge, hold it in that position for a second or 2, it should then jump to the next screen.
    Hope this helps

  • Unable to move or copy from one library to another

    Hi All,
    I am unable to move my documents from one share point document library to another. I open both the libraries in Explorer view and try moving or copying. But i am getting this below message. please see below image.

    1.         What’s the size of the folder you need to move? Is it larger that 50MB?
    2.         What’s the version of operation system you are using? Is it Windows Server 2003 or Vista or XP?
    If the answer is yes, please try to copy and paste a file which has smaller size to see if it will work. If it works, you can refer to this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900900
    to modify the registry keys to solve the problem
    1.         Click “Start”, click “Run”, type “regedit”, and then click “OK”.
    2.         Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
    3.         In the right pane, right-click the “FileSizeLimitInBytes” value, and then click “Modify”.
    If you cannot see the “FileSizeLimitInBytes” value, right-click the blank space in the right pane, click “New”, click “DWORD Value”, type “FileSizeLimitInBytes”, and then click “OK”.
    4.         In the “Edit DWORD” Value box, click to select the “Decimal” option. In the box under “Value data”, type a value that is larger than the size of the file that you want to download. Click OK.
    Note: The default value for the file size limit is 50000000 bytes.
    5.         Quit Registry Editor. Restart the computer.

  • How do I delete an email if I receive the message 'unable to move message'?

    I have an email stuck in my inbox that I cannot delete nor archive. I get the unable to move message note.

    Jo Space,
    Is the error message, "The recipient was rejected by the server as invalid or missing" or something similar?
    If so your outgoing mail server may require a username and password.

  • Unable to move photos between albums in search mode

    I am unable to move picture between albums when I have done a search for a title etc. eg. search for 'Leeds' brings up 20 pics one album and 15 in another, but the two albums are several years apart (possibly 100's of rolls!).
    Why am I unable to then drag the pics from one roll to another? Is this a known issue? Very annoying when dealing with various project over various years and the only way is to drag the pics all the way down, often getting lost!!
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    You may be able to do it as follows:
    1 - assign a unique keyword to each of those files. Something like "AAAAAAAA" will stand out when you're looking for it.
    2 -set the view options to View keywords only.
    3 - set the sort option to sort by keyword.
    4 - now look for that unique keyword, select them all and create a new roll. To see the new roll you'll have to reset rolls to be viewed.
    If there are more than one keyword for those photos, the the first keyword assigned to that photo will determine where it falls in the listing of photos. So it's best if there are no keywords other than the unique one.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Why does my iPod say "Unable to Download Application"? Other apps will download just fine and updating apps isn't an issue either, it's just this one app.

    A few days ago, I tried to redownload Sims FreePlay onto my iPod. I needed more room to update it to the latest update so the app just stayed on my screen but it's as if it's waiting to download. Today, I freed up a good 2GB of space on my iPod so the app should have no problem downloading. Instead of downloading, it says "Unable to Download Application" and that it could not be installed at this time. I downloaded a new app that downloaded with zero problems and I even updated an app with no trouble at all. I've also tried to delete the app so that I could just restart the download but nothing seems to work. Please help me. My progress that's stored on the cloud is going to expire either tomorrow or Saturday.

    That meassage and that you can downoad other apps indicates an Apple problem. Nothing you can do except keep trying.

  • Space bar not working to move the document

    I am having issues with shift-constrain resizing not working, and option-drag duplication not working, also using the space bar to move the document around the viewport. OSX 10.10, InDesign CC. I reset the preferences, restarted which failed to solve the problem, anyone knows how to make it work? Thanks!

    Hi
    I'd just like to add, since updating a couple of Mac Pro clients, running Mavericks 10.9.2 and Photoshop CC with the latest 6.3.8-2 Wacom Driver, early signs are that users have noted an improvement in performance of Photoshop CC.
    Its quite early days yet, however shortcuts that had been slow to respond and we have had multiple app crashes in Photoshop CC when using multi-layed 16-Bit Tiffs, seem to be ironed out.
    Also we have had to use the whitewindow plugin for photoshop too.
    Sorry to crash in on an InDesign thread regarding Photoshop CC issues, however I have seen a lot of common ground for many folks issues with Adobe software being they are using a Wacom device of some sort.
    Would be good to know if others have noted any improvements with this driver?

  • When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
    1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure.  This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
    2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have  to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
    3.  Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying. 
    OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
    Maybe I should think about a new computer.

    Hi Friend,
    Do you set all the email information correctly?
    Can you send/receive emails? If you are often receiving a message on the screen like "cannot contact the server...", check in Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars >> "your name account", if all the fields are filled properly.
    You must also turn off Restrictions in: Settings >> General >> Restrictions, because have an option " Allow Alterations - Accounts" that it maybe prevent alterations in your email account.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • Unable to move RemoteApp between monitors

    I have a Server 2012 farm with 4 RD hosts for remote apps, 2 RD Brokers and one server running the rdweb role. Up until last Thursday, users were able to move remote apps between multiple monitors with no problems. Users use Windows Professional, SP1.
    Friday, users were unable to move a remote app to a different monitor. The only change that was made, was on the session hosts, the DPI scaling was set to manual (at 115%) and the session hosts were restarted.
    I changed the setting back today and Remote Apps are still stuck on one monitor.
    Some things I have tried:
    1. Checking the monitor positions in the resolutions settings, for example 1,2 and 3 and moving the taskbar to the primary monitor.
    2. I have checked the settings in the RDP file to make sure span monitor and multiple monitor was still enabled. It was...
    3. I tried disabling the Session Host GPOs (which only set resolution anyway).
    4. I have another 2012 RD setup with all roles on one server, and RemoteApp movement works fine.
    5. Verified mstsc.exe version on both setups. It is 6.3.9600
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Unable to move icons in dock & elements in applications

    Hi all
    From this morning i've this problem on my MBP (Unibody, end of 2008 with OS X 10.8.4):
    I was unable to move objects in Adobe Ilustrator, when i select something i start to move it but when i release the button ( i've tried both with the trackpad and the mouse) the object remains attatched to the icon (as if i haven't released the button of the mouse) and i can't move it. It sblocks only when i click "esc" or go to mission control and then return to the app, in this moment it sblocks from the arrow of the mouse and returns to his original position.
    Thinking about a problem of the app i've deleted it and tried to reinstall it but doing this thing i've seen that i've the same problem not only in illustrator but in the other apps too and in the desk (with the icons) too.
    I think that is not an hardware problem 'cause all the button functions with the other thing and 'cause i've tried both the trackpad and the mouse.
    The only new thing that my mac have different than yesterday are two apps: Mini Display connect and Air Connect, i don't know if this have caused the problem..

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • SharePoint 2013 : Content organizer rules to move the document across web applications

    Hi,
    I wanted to move  the document in drop off library to another web application based on the metadata values.I am thinking of doing this using content organizer rules but I am not sure it will help across web application.
    Is there any other out of the box or no customization solution to achieve this requirement?

    Hi Prasad,
    According to your description, my understanding is that 
    you want to move documents across web applications and keep the metadata. Is it right?
    For moving documents across web applications, you can use Send To connection to achieve it. However, it may cause some meta data missing.
    More information about how to use Send To connection to route documents:
    http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2131831&seqNum=4
    So, for your issue, I suggest you use a third party tool or solution to do it.
    There is a CodePlex solution, check if it is useful for you:
