Using Spaces for task separation?
I was hunting around on the internet to try to find a way to have tasks separated in spaces rather than applications. I came across an article that said with the new 10.5.5 update this should be possible. The article said I just had to uncheck the box for the "When switching to an application..." feature and possibly "restart my doc". I unchecked the box but I have no idea what restarting a doc entails (although I did restart the computer just in case that would solve it), and whenever I drag say one safari window into a different space, all the others follow. So, my first question is: in 10.5.5 is it possible to have an application running in two spaces at once? If so, how do I tell the computer it should let me do this?
Secondly, I have a monitor hooked into my mac book and the computer seems to resize windows on the secondary monitor randomly (or so it would seem). So, one minute I'll be looking at a document on the attached monitor and then writing and/or searching the internet or checking my mail for a bit on the laptop screen and then when I glance at the document on the other monitor it will often be a different size than it was a moment before, forcing me to resize it over and over in order to read between bouts of writing which (needless to say) gets slightly frustrating. Anyone know of a reason why this is happening or have any clue how to make it stop?
Hope this question is posted in the right spot! If not let me know and I'll move it
Thanks a ton in advance!
I never had any problems with Word 2004, but Office 2008 has been nothing but a disaster. I usually have Word open in one space, and Powerpoint in another (taking notes on slides for class) But Office will always give me problems with shooting windows into different spaces, or automatically sending me to different spaces. A lot of times the Toolbox completely disappears, and the only way to bring it back is to restart it. It is EXTREMELY frustrating. I have been able to have a Word document open in one space, and another Word document open in another. Sometimes it gathers them all together, sometimes it doesn't. It is way sketchy.

Monitoring Used (%) space for tablespaces
Hi everyone,
I am currently using:
Redhat Linux ES 5 2.6.18 and also
Oracle 10g Release 2 for Linux x86 R10.2.0.3
While monitoring my Tablespaces using OEM Database Control, I notice that two tablespaces were almost full.
[SYSAUX] - Size: 290MB , Used 283MB (97% full)
[SYSTEM] - Size: 320MB, Used 313MB (98% full)
When I try to locate the datafiles of both tablespaces in its directory (/home/dba/oracle/oradata/oracle), it shows the allocated size (290MB for sysaux01.dbf & 320MB for system01.dbf) and not the used space.
I got three questions to ask over here:
1st- Why there isn't any warnings or alarms even though the tablespaces exceeds the critical size?
2nd- How come the datafiles shows the allocated size of the tablespaces and not the Used space?]
3rd- How can I find & monitor the actual used space of the tablespaces?
4th- I have enabled the AutoExtend function but I am worry whether is there any other concern?
I am still very new here.
Please pardon me for anything that is improper.
Looking forward for your expertise, guidance & help.
Thanks for your attention.

How to use Space as field Separator?
I have a flat file with space (multiple spaces between different fields) as a delimiter. Whenever I try to upload the file it doesn't allow me to perform. In the external tab when i chose CSV file and do not give any value in the file separator, it just pops up an information box '00H not allowed as a separator' and when I try to use ASCII /hex value '0040' still get the same message. The problem is, file is coming from 3rd party and they don't want to change the separator as comma or tab delimited CSV file.
1) Is there any program which I can use in TR to convert space as coma or tab delimited and then feed the value to different fields? OR
2) How to read the one line as one field and then feed to multiple fields?
3) Any other solution/idea?
please help me out.
Thanks,Hi Mau,
Goto you Flatfile Datasource -> Extraction Tab -> Data Format (CSV) -> Data Seperator -> ' ' ( ie. space ).
It will consider the space as the seperator.
Hope it helps you.
Assign points if it helps you.

Different used space for CSV in cluster manager / explorer
Hi everyone,
in our Hyper-V Cluster consisting of two 2012 Servers we have got the following problem:
The used disk space in windows Explorer is roughly 1TB less than the used disk space which is shown in the Failover Cluster Manager. In other words: The CSV is nearly full and I don't know why.
Diskpart, failovercluster Manager and every disk tool I tried is showing 6TB as disk size and although Explorer is showing only 5TB data the cluster is showing only 100GB free.
any help?
thanks,

For Superior Stability and Responsiveness: Use Spaces for Every App as Much as Possible
Hi. It's great to share this experiement. It's Hard to Crash Mountain Lion OS X with Spaces or even bring out the spinning wheel.
Any OS (it's good to have Windows, OS X and Linux all at the same time, best of all worlds) should probably be stable if each app was on a separate desktop environment or separate account (with the main one logged in, in the background). The permission were repaired (it crashed the last time I tried this with just one Spaces) using Disk Utility in Mountain Lion's Recovery partition.
Testing the overall stability and responsiveness: more than 12 app including Cinebench 12, Winclone, 2 3D Games from App Store (not Crysis or Rage but helps stress things along with Cinebench), all default Mountain Lion apps except Time Machine launched in one windows , Winclone cloning BootCamp a Win8 (upgraded from Win7) for hours, playing two 3D games (shooter Uberstrike and Marble World, fulscreen windowed) from App Store, Carbon Copy Cloner, watching a fullscreen movie on VLC, Activity monitor and iStats to see how the temperatures, CPU, GPU and memory are doing), quicktime playing a catholic chant in a loop- anything to bring the Mac, the whole system to a crawl, spinning wheel of death or to a crash which it didn't. Launching and relaunching app on their on Spaces was responsive even with all the system taxed at almost 100%.
There was around 12 Spaces running at the same time on the iMac i7 with 8GB. It's not the most convenient way to switch between apps (having everying in one Spaces and clicking on it still the best, followed by swithing via Dock), the gestures and mission control significantly made it easier to have so many Spaces and not that much of a burden to manage when you get used to it. It's much better than Windows 8 implementation for a less cluttered environment. The command-tab is good to combine with Mission Control gestures for switching from fullscreen apps.
.All that while running Cinebench 11.5 which taxes the CPU at almost and GPU 100% but surprisingly the fps shooter and Marble Worlds 3D games didn't crawl as I expected.Having an ambient temperature of about 30 Celsius, with full load the CPU temp was at 66, GPU was at 88, fans where surprisingly at CPU and optical disk fans were only at 900+ rpm with hardisk at 1000+ rpm which is the only 'side effect' to having taxing the system like this (I still have Applecare and Time Machine backup for a worry free test) is it confuses the SMC because without load all fans were at 1000+ rpm (I brough it back to normal with a SMC reset). All these for hours and there's still 1GB memory to use out of the 8GB (with 100GB hardisk space).
When I closed all 11 Spaces and brought all the apps to just one desktop, it wasn't as stable nor as responsive like I have experienced before. Marble World when you switch to it, would have artifacts, the game was almost a slide show. If you have lots of clips to copy past from on the Desktop and you have to hide all to see the finder and then Show All, Carbon Cloner would not show up right away and would have that spinning wheel. I quitted all the apps to prevent a crash and to bring temperatures down.
At first the Mountain Lion was almost a regret with some crashes but with Spaces, Misson Control and gestures for Mission Control, It's bring out the value and it just incredibly stable and responsive (Linux have their multiple desktop environment but Apple's implementation makes you see everything like a map almost bringing the convenience of just one desktop with all the apps placed strategically so you can click and switch to it faster). It's a great way to do a lot of things when you need to without worrying about slowing things down to a crawl.
Thank you for your time.

Advantages of using partitions for tasks
I like my setup on one partition. But I'm wondering, are there advantages to using separate partitions for /, /home, /boot, and swap?
Simple question, but I'd like to know the answer from many sources, cause it seems like the type of question that has multiple answers.My laptop and a little server in the home which I'll set up to the face the internet at some point so I can get to files/music etc have split partitioning: / /usr /var /home /tmp (via tmpfs) and separate /boot (needed for lvm/encryption/funny filesystems). I set up the partitions on advice of some of the hardening guides (see wiki). As well as allowing for problems with huge log files crashing the system as mentioned above, the idea is to have separate partitions to restrict what can be done in each area of the file system via mounting options in fstab. Eg, one of the options you could give to /var and/or /home would be noexec, so no exectuables/scripts could be run. If someone breaks in, it should make it harder to gain complete control.
It's prob overkill, but I am a big fan of peace of mind It doesn't take much longer to set up (make it lvm so you don't have to worry about getting the partition sizes wrong) and it doesn't hinder how my system runs in any way. -
How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!
Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

How to find out the used space and free space in the DB for attachments

Sorry to elaborate a bit more.
I have used time machine since owning my mac book pro with no issues. i keep the timemachine backups on an external hard drive made by Verbatim. This has not external power source.
Recently i decided to use up some of the available space on the external verbatim disk drive to store some movie files which were sitting on my macbook pro.
Therefore i created a new folder outside of the time machine backup folder and stored the movie files in there.
From then on Time machine failed... and a few days later i noticed it was not mounting in 'finder'
Therefore i used disk utility to see if it was recognising it. Which i was. However when i try to repair it the repair process fails.
In disk utility i am presented with 1 TB Samsung HN M10 which has a child called Verbatim HD.
The 1TB Samsung hardware appears fine, but the verbatim disk i am unable to fully verify and fix.
Does this mean i have lost all my back ups?
Have I lost all the media that i put on there?
Is there any way to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.
didier07...To summarize: You used an external Verbatim HD for your TM backups. Then, you stored some movie files on the "spare" space on the Verbatim drive. Now, Disk Utility isn't being recognized, and repair is disabled. Your home Samsung drive is working fine, but the Verbatim cannot be verified.
The problem, I believe, is that the external Verbatim drive wasn't partitioned. There should be two partitions: one for TM backups, the other for video. That way, you can perform backups, and still retain some space for video or somesuch.
Frankly, I don't know how to fix this except through the following. (1) Erase the Verbatim drive, (2) Create a new blank space and format it, (3) Make two partitions - one for backup, the other for video. (4) Run TM through one partition, but switch to the other for your videos. The better solution might be to have one dedicated drive (perhaps the Verbatim) for backups, and another dedicated drive for video backups; that way, you'll have plenty of space for expansion.
I hope someone will correct me if I'm incorrect, but I believe you've essentially lost your backups and media. I don't know how you can retrieve that clump of the now-undifferentiated data on the Verbatim drive. To retrieve any lost data, you're going to require another external drive that's larger in capacity, as well as data recovery software; don't expect encouraging results. If you're desperate, there are firms like Drive Savers that can offer a more comprehensive solution - at a cost.

Where is "Reserve space for disk use" in iTunes? Docs are out of date
Hello,
Where did "Resereve space for disk use" go in iTunes? I can't find it any more.
This is major problem because if I want to auto-fill my phone (I don't have time to constantly set up playlists) I then get constantly get errors that my phone is full and that I can't take photos. This is really frustrating.
If I got to iTunes Help, the documentation is wrong and out of date. I have iTunes 11.1.5 and if I go to Help -> iTunes Help and look at this section, it's completely wrong. See attached screenshot.
The whole iTunes UX has become a confusing mess, I hope you're looking for a new product manager for it.
Thank you,
GeoffI am having the same issue. It even tells you that you can reserve space on your phone in the iTunes help, but I can not figure out how to open the Autofill Settings window in iTunes. Here is what it says in help of iTunes 12.0.1.26:
Autofill settings
You can use Autofill to add songs to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad with a single click. You can set Autofill to select songs at random, or you can customize your settings.
You can select these options in the Autofill Settings window:
Other options are available at the bottom of the iTunes window when you're viewing music on your device: -
1.1 GB of space for other use, but no music, no books nor Videos are sync.
My IPad4 says it has 1.1 GB of space for "other" use, but I don´t have anything on this Ipad, I even took away the music, books and Videos. How can I know what others really stands for? Is there a way of errasing this information?
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

Can anyone explain Space to me, what is does, what u use it for etc?
Hi, can anyone explain what Spaces is, like what it does for u and what u would use it for?
TracyPut a different way: it helps you divide up your work by subject, helping to organize what you see in front of you.
Before Spaces, all of your work was cluttered together on the screen. If at once you were using Safari, Entourage, Photoshop Elements, iPhoto, QuickTime Player, NetNewsWire (a RSS news aggregator), Finder itself, and whatever else you were using, all of the application windows were strewn around the screen. The only way to get rid of the mess was to quit an application, minimize windows, or hide the application.
With Spaces, you can simply assign application to its own desktop--almost like having things grouped in different monitors. You could create a Space for your graphics applications, ones that you tended to use together: Photoshop Elements, iPhoto, maybe QuickTime Player. Your Internet applications in another: Safari, Entourage, and NetNewsWire. Some applications can belong to all the Spaces, such as Finder (however you choose).
That way, when you're doing your graphics work, you only see windows and applications that pertain to that. Want to take a break and go on the Internet? Switching to any of the applications (and you do so by a key combination or a menu) quickly hides the graphics application windows and replaces them with what you use for the Internet. The range of applications you're not working with for now are hidden from you, helping you focus and avoid clutter, but are immediately available.
I usually limit myself to two spaces (using a secondary space for applications used for writing, such as Scrivener, Dictionary, and the like), but you can make as many as you find helpful. -
The new appearance of the Notes App is really disappointing. I used it for lists and now it just makes my notes appear to be random paragraphs without visual separation. Am I missing anyway to customize the App?
No, you can't customize it. Try different apps available in the App Store.
