Why is the "assign to specific desktop" option now missing?

I'm running Maverick on a brand new rMBP, and suddenly I can't assign an app to a specific desktop anymore!
The option used to be there in the dock, but now it's just gone... for all apps.
I have a second display connected, and working perfectly, just like I always do.
Why is that? How can I fix it?
Thank you!

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

  • Why are my applications that are assigned to specific desktops randomly rearranging themselves on other desktops?

    I'm on a late 2013 Retina 13" MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4 and for some reason most of my applications assigned to specific desktops are rearranging themselves to other desktops.
    For example, I've created eight desktops. I've assigned Safari to appear on desktop three. While using Safari, when I swipe once from to left between desktops using my three fingers, I end up on desktop seven. It appears that Safari automatically reassigns it's self on desktop six. I swipe back to desktop three. From the dock, I find Safari and do a right click to have the application menu pop-up, I hover over options and assign Safari to "This Desktop" again. I begin using Safari, and if I'm unlucky, and I swipe from left to right I end up on desktop four.
    This happens constantly and it's become annoying. Is this a bug?
    For work, I use a late 2008 Non-Retina 15" MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4 and that laptop has no issues.

    Right click (cntl click) the icon on the dock.  Select options and set "assign to" None, All or This desktop.

  • Where the **** are all my export options now in Quicktime X

    Don't tell me you actually removed all the pro options I had from WMV to FLASH to on2 to H264 and only gave us like 2 options to export? Where are the custom settings, the screen sizes, frame rates etc.
    Is this a joke or am I missing something? I am stuck now at work with an updates OS and now way to export movies to the formats and sizes I need. What is going on? I paid for a quicktime pro licence since quicktime had one.

    I guess this is not a joke here is the help file:
    +To convert a movie to another format:+
    +Choose File > Save As.+
    +In the dialog that appears, enter a filename for the exported movie and choose a location for the file.+
    +Choose an option from the File Format menu.+
    +iPhone or iPhone Cellular: Creates a movie that is optimized for viewing on iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV, and desktop computers.+
    +Apple TV: Creates a movie that is optimized for viewing on Apple TV and desktop computers.+
    +Computers: Creates a larger size movie for desktop computers and Apple TV.+
    +Movie: Saves a copy of the movie with a new filename but does not change the format of the movie.+
    +Click Save.+
    So great, again where are all my export custom options I paid for. I got some deadlines now and I am totally screwed up. Great...awesome to know that you crippled Quicktime x and to learn about it AFTER an install. Great job there.

  • Update pushed from Adobe for Acrobat X failed and now the "print to a PDF" option is missing. How do I get it back?

    Adobe pushed a security update to my computer and the update failed.  Now the "print to PDF" option is missing from all of my programs.  How do I get it back?
    Version X.1.12.

    Thanks.  That's exactly what I did, but from the Adobe help screen.  It did the trick, but I'm not very happy with Adobe for messing up my system.
    I appreciate your answering back.

  • Why do the icons on my desktop always move wen I log out?

    If i have for exmaple my documents on my desktop wen i log off and log back in it is a different position to where i had left it.
    Why does this happen?

    I used a retail disk to instll Tiger.
    I did disconnect all peripherals before the instillation except for the keyboard and monitor, Apple 23" HD flat panel.
    I rand Disk repair and repaired disk permissions from this disk.
    I tried disableing Magic Mouse.
    I looked at finder crash and crashing and found some info on deleting preferences in the library and tried deleting the ones mentioned.
    I thought running DiskWarrior v 3.03 was helping but I was mistaken. DW did stop the window labelled Computer and showing my HD and network from coming up whenever the other items blinked.
    Nothing helped.
    Any other suggestions would be welcome.

  • Why is the "show fast user switching" option grey?

    My MacBook has only ever had one account on it until now.  I noticed that the Fast User Switching option wasn't showing up in my menu bar, so I went to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options to enable it.  However, the option to "Show fast user switching menu" is grey and I cannot select the checkbox next to it.  Yes, I am using an admin account and yes, I have clicked the lock to make changes in the Accounts preferences pane.

    I have the same problem- I have three accounts on this machine.
    The option is greyed out. I tried zapping PRAM, and restarts but no joy.
    It coincided with a forced shut-down after an HP update installation hung all day on one of the accounts. "turning off may harm your computer"...
    Any clues to a fix would be welcome.
    Thanks.

  • Why does the curser move across desktop without touching the track pad?

    The curser has started to move across the screen without touching the track pad. There's no mouse connected. All networking connections are turned off. As the curser moves across the desktop, it opens new folders??? It will open as many as a dozen new folders before it stops at the left side of the screen and wouldn't you know it, the warranty expired last month! Any help to figure out a fix would be appreciated.

  • Why does the Safari iOS7 Browser truncate Options in a Select control?

    Sir or Madam ;
    I'm working on a website tailored to mobile device usage, and the SELECT control widget in the Safari from iOs7.0 seems to be really problematic. Previous versions of the software would wrap the text around if it exceeded the width defined by the screen width.
    The current version seems to be a step backwards; Now strings more than, say, twenty characters in length seem to be likely to be truncated.
    What's with this?
    .. and is there a way to coerce the widget into wrapping the text as necessary.
    Best Wishes..

  • HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

    I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • I just updated firefox to the lastest version. I have a network in which we access the server with remote desktop. Now I can only open firefox on one of the remote terminals or the server. I need to be able to use firefox on all of the terminals.

    I get an error message that says an instance of mozilla firefox is already running, please close it to continue.
    The question already explains the situation. I need all three terminals to use firefox concurrently.
    Did not have this problem with the previous version.

    That happens if all instances use the same profile folder.
    Only one instance can use a specific profile.

  • Mac Lifer using MacBook Pro - why is the performance and network SO slow now?

    I'm a 15+ year experience designer that lives on my machine. I'm in Adobe, Safari, Mail, Skype and Gotomeeting every day. Skype audio is spotty, Safari lags, Mail lags, and Adobe Photoshop CS6 fonts seem to give it a ton of grief. I would take it in to a store, but don't have the physical time.

    See ds store's excellent user tip - Why is my computer slow?
    You don't say which model you have, how much RAM, how much free space on your internal hard drive, etc. Information like that can be useful.
