Whither "Show app on every Space"?

Hmm, Lion seems pretty cool so far, but it appears the option to display an app in every Space (or even to assign an app to a specific Space) is history.
Am I missing something?
I typically have RSS feed tickers, and other dynamic information, displayed in every space on a second display so, no matter which Space I'm in, they're visible. I've looked through the Mission Control prefs, but that option seems no longer available?

Hi Clay,
Hmm, nope. I didn't do anything special to enable it. You should also be able to click-hold on the app icon while it's in the Dock. A little menu will be displayed with an "Options" submenu. This submenu contains the following:
Keep in Dock
Open at Login
Show in Finder
Assign To
All Desktops
This Desktop
None
Good luck!

Yes. Go to your iCloud settings on each device and configure what you do and do not want showing up on each device.
Go to Settings>iCloud as well as Settings>iTunes & App Stores

App Switcher showing only apps from this space?

Hi everyone
I use cmd-tab exclusively (because I have a windows and linux computer at home) and I integrate space into my workflow.
I am quite annoyed by Cmd-Tab (Application Switcher) because it displays all app windows from all spaces.
Is there a way to get App Switcher to display only apps from current space?

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Spaces Keyboard viewer in every space

I use the keyboard viewer frequently to enter short text strings (I have a disability that makes using the keyboard uncomfortable) and I use Spaces. Previously I could add Keyboardviewer to "every space" in 10.6 I can not find out how to do that. I know where the app is /System/Library/Input Methods/Keyboardviewer . When I navigate there to add it nothing shows. How can I configure Spaces so Keyboardviewer is displayed in every space?

Michael, I think I know what you did wrong. I added keyboard viewer to every space and then went back to write up step by step instructions and it was suddenly gone!! I had not followed the exact path. Input methods exist in several places but they are empty except in the exact path you specified.
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Input Methods/Keyboardviewer
Anyway the step by step is below, which you probably already know but here it is:
You can navigate there from System Preferences - Expose & Spaces - Spaces Tab. Now hit the "+" sign below Application Assignments. In the drop down box select "other".
Make sure to start at the Mac HD level as you click through /system/library/input etc.
Select the Keyboard viewer and then "every space".

10.8, trouble assigning apps to a space

I am having an issue assigning some apps to a space. Some apps, < when right clicked and options selected > are fine. The sub menu is there for them and I can set as none, all or this desktop, as usual.
But some apps the submenu just isn't there. Sometimes it does show up eventually and some never. Any clues??
This is a fresh install on a new Macmini, with a SSD for the system and the apps folder symlinked from the hard drive. However, that doesn't seem to be the issue since all my apps run from the hard drive and some work fine.
Weird
Thanks for any assistance.

Application showing up in wrong space in spaces application

I am using spaces. I have stickies set up to always show in space 3. For some reason when I restart my mac, it always shows up in space 1. I change it back to space 3 and then it shows in space 3. Then when I shutdown and restart it shows back up in space 1?????

Just a thought: if not already so, go to system preferences or control and click on your spaces icon and in preferences enable "show spaces in menu bar" button. See if this retains the settings after a shutdown and restart. IF this does not work then: open "system preferences" "accounts" "my account" "Login items" and use the"+" symbol to add those app you wish to be restored on powering up. (do this AFTER allocating a program to a space)
THe app will reopen on start in the correct space. Any files in use are reopened in that app.
So the caveat: the app will automatically launch open after a shutdown and restart.

Moving windows into every space via keyboard shorcut

Hi all
occasionally I need to see an app in every window, but not all the time. I was wondering if there was a script or a mouse click or keyboard shortcut to move and remove an app or window from every space.
I know I can do this through spaces preference, but was just wondering if there is a way to reduce the steps.
thanks

Hey rakem,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing an on-going issue in regards to the connectivity of your peripheral devices, in this case a USB keyboard. I completely agree that this issue sounds incredibly frustrating. I’d like to ask you a few questions to gather more information on the issue.
Is the USB keyboard in question an Apple device or third-party? If it is the latter, it may be that the USB keyboard requires specific power requirements:
Apple Computers and Displays: Powering peripherals through USB
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049
Note: Some USB peripheral devices not manufactured by Apple may have unique power requirements. These may exceed the power allotment on an individual USB port. Those devices may require you connect them to multiple USB ports or may have external power sources that must be present for them to function.
Apple peripheral devices may request more than 500 mA (Milliamps) at 5 V (Volts) from a port to function or to allow for faster charging. Such Apple peripheral devices include:
- Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive (when connected to supported computers)
- Aluminum Wired Keyboard*
- iPod
- iPhone
- iPad
Also, I understand that you have tested this keyboard with a different computer, however I’d really love to hear the results of a test with another wired keyboard. This will help isolate if the issue indeed lies with the keyboard itself.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Can't assign Finder to "Every Space"

As I had anticipated, Spaces is my favorite feature in Leopard. Unfortunately, there is on quite annoying oversight in the design.
When you set up Spaces, you select which applications you want for each space. But, you can also choose "Every Space" if you want to float an application across all of the spaces. However, there is no way to select this option for the Finder!
This is a real pain. For example, say I open a Finder window in Space 1. Later on, I'm doing something in Space 2 and I need to open an file so I click on the Finder icon in the Dock. Ack! It switches back to Space 1!
I can work around this issue by right-clicking the icon and selecting "New Finder Window", but it sure would be nice to have a single Finder window that would float across all the spaces.
Anyway, if I'm missing something in the Spaces Preference pane that would allow me to assign the Finder to every space, please let me know.

I was having the same problem - I guess you've solved it by now, but I just saw this: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071027130921428 - basically you can find the Finder app in /System » Library » CoreServices » Finder.

Spaces -- one app in two Spaces?

Can you only assign an app to one space or all Spaces?
I'd like Safari, for instance, in Space 1 and Space 4 but not 2 and 3. Is that possible?
Thanks!

The "for all" appears to have been designed to allow an application "float" onto each and every desktop as you select each "Space". It does not actually reside in each "Space". If you press F8 you will see it will only appear in the active "Space" and hence only one "copy" is actually loaded. This can be demonstrated by opening multiple windows in Safari. ALL windows move together irrespective of which "Space" they were opened in.

HT1284 Do I need to reformat my external hard drive before I backup to it? It shows very little free space when in fact it is empty.

I am new to Imac. I want to use an external hard drive to backup to but the drive shows very little free space when in fact it is empty. Do I need to reformat it and, if so How? Thanks

What is the external disk?
Is it new? If so, maybe it has a Windows file system on it (FAT, exFAT, or NTFS). If so then reformat to "HFS+ Journaled".
What backup utility are you using? TimeMachine, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, etc...? If the external is suppose to be bootable because you are using a cloning backup (CCC or SuperDuper), then it is also important that the disk partition table be GUID.
You can find out this information via Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility, select the disk (not volume on the disk) and the partition time will be shown at the botton of the window. Now Select the volume and it will tell you how the file system on the disk is formatted.
Also do you want to leave room for a recovery partition on the external disk? Then repartition it with a small (2GB) partition that can hold a bootable recovery partition that you can setup via the Apple "Recovery Disk Assistant" which can be downloaded from Apple.

I am trying to get into my Game Center app but every time I tap on the app it opens too a blank white screen. I have tried several times to reset my phone but I get the same result.

Hello there Sweebs44,
It sounds like you are tapping the Game Center app to open it, but the screen is blank. I recommend signing out of your account:
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
From: iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6c493cac
Then close all the running apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone sign back into your account and try again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

How do i manage multiple users and devices with one apple id without everything showing up on every device?

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer

Why does my iTunes show apps in two different groups?

When I open my iTunes 10 and look at the Apps tab, it shows my iPhone and iPad apps distributed amongst two different groups: iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad Apps and iPhone and iPod Touch apps. I don't really understand this as I don't have a iPad. An I only loaded a few apps to my iPod Touch years ago. Seems to me that the Listing should be showing apps sorted by the "Authorized Devices" to which they have been installed.
Another complication is that I have two Apple Store accounts...my US account from when I bought my first iPod Touch while living in the US and then a Thai account since I am living in Thailand and it makes payment easier. Isn't there a way to see the apps loaded into my Library sorted by Apple Store account??
Apple software is becoming more and more like the Microsoft products we all love to hate. Sadly, ease of use for the user is out the door. It's why I continue to use iTunes 10 and OS 10.6.8...stable and I know what I get and don't get already :-?
Thanks for the feedback.

You got it right. Thank you.
