Using Spaces with Shared Screen

I am using a shared screen to access my two other computers, and I really would love to be able to use Spaces to do this. One keystroke and I'm full screen on my other computer, how cool would that be. I just can't seem to do it. Spaces asks for the application, and to share a screen is not the application. Can anyone help?

Hi Leithh
If I understand correctly you're trying to use your own creations and add them to the existing palette available. I'm not sure why you would need to do this but if there is a way I don't know about it.
It may be something you could do if you went into the package contents of the application itself by holding Control and clicking on the application, this gives you the application folder basically. In here you will find the resources file which holds everything iMovie uses. If you can find the right place and save the right file you may be able to add it to the list of defaults.
JUST TO POINT OUT. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN HERE YOU RUN THE RISK OF SERIOUSLY SCREWING UP YOUR SOFTWARE AND AS SUCH I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS.
It's something I used to do in Roxio Toast when I wanted a custom DVD Menu system to those on offer. It was a lot more obvious what was needed to be done though!
The best and safest thing you could do is store your self created clips in an event, call it something like Library and then just use them as you need to by dragging them into a project.

Using Spaces With Logic 9?

Dear Apple,
I'd like to know if it's possible to use spaces together with Logic. I tried to grab my mixer and drag it to another space but that didn't work.
If it's not possible at all I would recommend this as a new feature in a Snow Leopard update.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Dear Apple,
Hi Patrick,here's a user to user forum ,
I'd like to know if it's possible to use spaces together with Logic. I tried to grab my mixer and drag it to another space but that didn't work.
You can use Spaces with Logic,either drag the Mixer tab out or open a Mixer window in Logic Pro>Window>Mixer or press ⌘ +2 ,activate spaces and drag the Mixer window where you like.

Is it necessary to use semaphores with shared variables

is it ok to use semaphores with shared variables to prevent race conditions or is that built into the shared variable?
- James
Using LV 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit

Semaphores are more of a method to protect a section of code from executing, and as tst as said they won't really help you. There is nothing inherently harmful about having 2 sections of code trying to write to a shared variable at the same time. Nothing like a crashed program, scrambled value, or an error message. What will happen is that whatever happens 2nd is the value that sticks. So a shared variable can still have the possiblility of race conditions just like local and global variables if you are dealing with multiple writers. That is really an architecture problem.

Spaces with 2 screens

So i have a wacom 12wx hooked up to my MBP and i love working with spaces, but i would like to have the things i have on my MBP screen to not be affected by spaces when my wacom is hooked up, but i wont to to be when it is hooked up. is there any thing or program i can run to make it do this?

You can always add more screens, just as you can designate which one is home. You can also turn off Flipboard and add another screen in its place. This can all be accomplished by long pressing anywhere on an unused area of one of your screens. If you move all the ways to the last screen to the right, you will see a + button to allow you to add screens. I personally use 5 with my home being the middle screen.

Help with Sharing Screen Many Miles Away

Hi,
To give a background. My Dad is disabled and struggles to use his computer sometimes. He has a 2008 iMac running 10.5 and I live in Australia. I am wondering is there anyway that when his computer plays up and needs a setting fixing that I can control from across here to do the job.
I am on an iMac across here on 10.6.7 any help that could help our situation would be grateful.

As mentioned, there is iChat screen sharing. You can use MobileMe accounts, OR you can use free AOL Instant Messenger accounts <http://aim.com>. You do not need the AIM software, just the accounts. I think you might even be able to use a Google gTalk account. To make it easy you setup the accounts for you Father, and then talk him through adding the account to iChat.
You could get a MobileMe subscription for yourself, then register both your Father's and your Mac(s) to your account, then you can use Back-to-My-Mac which will allow regular Mac OS X Screen Sharing and File Sharing over an encrypted connection.
You can also try TeamViewer.com. It works very well.
There is also LogMeIn.com.
LogMeIn.com has the advantage that once the server is installed on your Father's Mac, it runs in the background and you can connect without needing him to be there. TeamViewer.com is just another running app, and as such he might not always run it, or might quit from it.
On the other hand, TeamViewer.com allows file transfer, but LogMeIn.com requires an upgrade to the paid version to get file transfer. You could always use DropBox.com for any files you want to transfer. By the way, iChat does allow transferring files as well.
You could setup a Hamachi (VPN)
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/36286/logmein-hamachi>
network between you and your Father. Once that is in place, you could use normal Mac OS X Screen Sharing and File Sharing services over an encrypted virtual private network.
And then there is the hard way Configuring your Father's home router to port forward ports 5900 and port 548 <http://portforward.com>, getting a free dynamic DNS name from No-IP.com or DynDNS.org, running the dynamic DNS name updating utility on your Father's Mac (all the time), then connecting directly with Mac OS X Screen Sharing and File Sharing. NOTE: The Screen Sharing client does have preferences to encrypt all network traffic, and is a good idea when going across the internet, HOWEVER, File Sharing does not. If you want secure file sharing in this configuration, you would need to play other more complex games involving ssh tunnels. I listed this last as it is only a good idea if you are network savvy and familiar with ssh, otherwise I would suggest one of the more user friendly methods mentioned above.

Can someone help me synce my old G5 Motorola to my snow leopard laptop so I can use Quitktime with video screen capabilities for demo purposes and a job I have with a major website? Thanks!

Is there anyway that I can sync this Motorola G5 dual, OS 10.5.8 with my ibook OS 10.6.8 so I can use the quicktime application on the Mororola? I need to network the two computers and if someone could kindly tell me how to do this with either wifi, USB, orFirewire, I'd be very grateful. My ethernet connection is in use and I only have one and no hub. Doing this will give me the ability to work for a site that needs my expertise in recording but I have old equipment right now on the recording end. No chance to upgrade at this point as we're broke and I'm severly injured, so I am trying to find a workaround that will let me access this copmuter, with snow leapord to work with the old one with (Motorola G5 dual w/10.5.8). It means a few bucks to us if I can make it happen, and my family really need to dough. It will keep me from having to convert things to a youtube format, take the extra time involved to do that, when, instead, I could just take screen recordings instead. Unfortunately, I don't have Pro Tools on this computer or all would be fixable.
I'm really hoping that you or someone else can help me get these two macs synced so I can do this. DO you think you can help me? Thanks so much! Scotty Goldberg

Thanks so much for your reply but that won't help in my current situation. Maybe I didn't make it clear. The latest version of Quicktime as new as it sounds doesn't support screen recording on a powermac G5 Motorola chip with OS 10.5.8 which is the highest os I can go with that machine. If I can sync the two computers so I can get the application to record from my newer computer then I'm ok. I just don't have the recording application for audio that I'm using to demo for the website on the laptop as it's about 10,000 dollars. So, I have to use the older computer to do the audio presentation and try to get the newer computer synced to it so I can use the new version that works on snow leopard to record a screen shot that will hopefully appear on my laptop instead of the old machine. Hope that makes sense. It's a bit confusing but in a nutshell it's like this:
1. I am a Pro Tools Instructor which is the state of the art application and recording device for audio and movie scoring and I have a new job where I make small snippets of tips using Pro Tools which I'd like to record with quicktime on screen as they happen
2. the best version of Quicktime Pro available for the Power Mac, OS 10.5.8 will not do screen recording on it.
3. I can use the Quicktime application from my newer laptop but I need to sync it to the old machine
4. I'm hoping but I don't know, if I do this, that I can record Pro Tools in action from my new machine buy seeing it on this laptop screen and then recording it with the new quicktime.
5. If I can sync the two computers, I'm hoping this can happen but I can't use my ethernet connection as I have it used to connect to my recording console and can't afford to buy anything new like an ethernet hub yo connect the two so I'm hoping that there's another way to connect them.
I hope that makes sense and that possible you or someone else can help. Thanks so much! Scott

Using Facetime with Shared Apple ID

My husband and I share the same Apple ID. He has an iPhone 5 and our MacBook Air. I have an iPhone 5 and ipad mini. We like sharing the same id for easy access to all contacts, messages, photos, etc. we want to keep it that way.... However, we would like to use facetime.... Currently, he calls me it says I'm unavailable. It rings once on my end but then stops. And vice versa... I've heard that one of us needs another email... How do I go about setting this up on my phone and ipad??? I've already created a new email but where exactly do is change it??? Keep in mind, we still want to share everything else... Just not facetime...

Hi KMW
I have the same question too and I await someone to give an answer. I work away from home and make do with phone calls and emails. I have thought about this for a few years and basically done nothing about it. I have tried but nothing I can think of works. Rather like iMessage which seems to be hit and miss.
I have used Skype in the past, very cheaply and easily, depending where you are.
Cheers

Using Spaces with Audio Units?

I was trying to figure out if it is possible to have specific audio unit device displays in separate "spaces". It would be nice to have an entire screen designated for each window.
all i've tried so far is dragging the window, but it only seems to follow the space that garage band is displayed in.

Right now im actually using Ableton live rather than Garage band. In Live you are able to have the audio unit window open of the selected scene. when you scroll through your instruments, (if you have the AU edit window enabled) the different windows will pop up. i was trying to figure out a way to arm an instrument at the same time as viewing the AU via some sort of midi command (ie. arm track & ctrl+2 for my second space)
As far as i know, the audio units are the same no matter what host you use, so i thought i'd see if anyone here has figured it out.
also, does anyone know how to change the size of the AU window? all of mine are fixed at an awkward size.

can u post me ur views...?

Using Spaces with Multiple Displays

I'm wondering if there is a way to setup Spaces to only show spaces for the main display in a duel monitor setup.
I have a 19inch monitor I use when I'm at work and I do not enable mirroring so that I can get a higher resolution on the 19inch monitor than what my aging ibook (1024x768) can put out. When I do this and activate spaces, each space shows both monitors....the larger 19inch and then off the corner of that, the smaller 14 inch of my ibook.
What I want is for when I'm hooked up to my 19inch display, for my laptop display to in essence not exist. This way when I activate spaces (currently set to 4) I just get 4 "19 inch" spaces instead of, what looks like, 8 spaces.
Any thoughts? Any scripts or terminal commands to make this happen?

I put off upgrading to Leopard almost exclusively because of this reason... I thought I'd be able to get over it for a couple weeks until 10.5.2 comes out, but tonight I'm pulling my hair out.
Have you found out anything new?

Anyone using Spaces with MainStage

I've never enabled Spaces. However, to get some needed functionality to address missing features in MainStage (like no Sysex message sending), I'm thinking of running Bidule or Max while running MainStage. It would probably make sense to have them be in different virtual windows (which is my understand of what Spaces does) so wondering how well that works before I go to the trouble.

Just tried Spaces briefly. I discovered that if I put MainStage into fullscreen mode then I'm not able to switch to another space at all.

Spaces with Multiple Displays

I have been using Spaces with my MacBook with an external display, without mirroring to extend my desktop. Overall, it works really well and has certainly made things less hectic when I have 1-8 windows open per application and up to 5 applications.
One thing I figured out by playing is that you can have windows from the same application in different spaces. For example, I have FireFox open with three windows, and can position one FF window in each of three spaces. The only way to do this that I have found is to drag the individual windows from the Spaces view (F8), but it's really useful for me to have web-pages organized by Space (personal, work, Google, etc.). By the way, if I shut down FF or restart the machine, the windows do not "remember" which Space they were in, which is not surprising to me. I assume that is a limitation of FF, not OS X.
Now here is the issue/problem I have experienced several times: Every so often, I will completely "lose" one or more windows. For example, I have two FF windows open in Space 4, then upon switching to another space and going back to Space 4, the windows are gone. They still show up in the list of FF windows (from the "Windows" menu in FF itself), so I think they are still open, but it's like they were assigned to Space 0 or something. There is no way to get to them or bring them back that I have found. There is also no good explanation for why this is occurring or any reproducible set of circumstances.
I can accept that I am pushing the envelope on Spaces using both multiple displays and splitting windows from one application across Spaces, so I am not expecting this to work flawlessly (yet). However, it sure would be useful to be able to recover from this when it occurs.
By the way, as a tip I have mapped my mouse button 3 (external mouse with a scroll wheel that has a button) to show Spaces, which has been very handy for me.
One last thing: Does anyone else think it would be cool to have Spaces act more like true individual Desktops? In other words, be able to set background image per Space and maybe even have different files on each Space/Desktop? Files would be more involved since Spaces are less permanent than a real Desktop, but background images seems like an easy thing to be able to code for.

Just to be clear, you CAN run an application and split its windows across different Spaces by dragging those windows in the Spaces view. So open Firefox in Space 1, open a second FF window in Space 1, then F8 and drag the second window into Space 2 and voila. It's somewhat random what happens when you click on the application icon in the dock when you do this, but it does work.
Good point about the background being very resource-intensive. Never mind.

Why are videos using space on my phone when there are no videos on my phone?

When I sync my phone is shows that quite a bit of space is being used by video, but there shouldn't be any videos. How do I free up that space that is supposedly being used by "video". Thanks.

My phone keeps giving me a notification that my storage is almost full. It looks like the photos & camera are taking up most of the space, however I only have 99 photos on the phone and photo streaming is turned off, but it still has 3.9KB used space under shared photo stream. How do I delete this?
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes. 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes.
1 gigabyte = 1048576 kilobytes.
3.9 KB is 0.38% of a MB, and 0.00037% of a GB
If your iPhone is a 8GB model, then you are literally worrying about 0.000046% of the device's total space.
Or, to look at it another way, an 8GB iPhone has 8,388,608 kilobytes of total space. Are you really concerned about less than 4 KB out of 8.3 Million?
Or... Let's say that you had $83,886.08 in your bank account. Would you worry about trying to find the nickel that rolled under the fridge?

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partition?

Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partitioned Time Capsule? I understand that the Time Machine (software) cannot backup a networked drive (the external) and that Time Capsule (the router/wireless hard drive) does not have its own backup software... so it won't backup the connected drive. What I would like is an alternate solution for having an automated backup of a networked drive. A 2TB Time Capsule has more than enough space for Time Machine backups of my family of Macbooks, so I had hoped to mirror a 500GB external drive (with shared media files) to a portion of the Time Capsule internal hard drive. I assume this would require a partition of the Time Capsule drive. If not, would the sparse file from the various computers being backed up need to be copied to the external drive as part of the RAID1 setup? This seems like overkill for the Time Machine backup, but it would cover the media files.

The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.
