Switch over to the desktop you want the app to open on, ctrl+click it, and under Options, select "this Desktop," and that should do you:  Oh wait, you meant monitor monitor, not virtual desktop, didn't you?

So the other screen would keep that application there, as that desktop stays on that screen.

Yeah, thanks for that. I do have two monitors but that trick makes it work like it did in System 10.8.

Any recommendations for VPN software? Should I use tunnelblik or openvpn? Or Shimo? Or should I just bite the bullet and figure out how to set up Ipsec?

I have a 15" rMBP that is showing different free space in the finder vs. the system info. Just noticed this as I was moving some files, it's a 2.4 ghz i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB Drive. The finder is showing 114 GB free, the system info shows around 93 GB. Running Mavericks. FWIW the 93 GB number seems correct, I'm pretty sure that's what the finder windows were also displaying until very recently. It's odd.

I've tried looking this up on google and the like countless times to no real avail, so hopefully this isn't too specific a question regarding software. Long story short, are there any Twitter clients that support auto-translation of foreign-language tweets on one's feed? Or any third party apps/addon software that would be able to do this in preexisting twitter clients? I communicate with a decent amount of Japanese twitter users yet I really wish I had a way to view their tweets in English at a glance as it would really save me time. Thanks y'all!

There is an official OpenVPN client called OpenVPN Connect. It is included with the server install, and once you authenticate to it, your browser will download it. http://openvpn.net/index.php/access...ent-on-mac.html There is also an official client for iOS is which awesome too.

I've been having trouble getting Messages to give me any sort of notification I've received a message. It's as if it's been completely turned off in notification centre (no icon badge, it doesn't show up in that list of notifications on the right of the screen, and I don't get a banner). Does anybody have any ideas? Several people seem to have this problem after googling a bit, but the only thing I can see suggested online is to make sure it's turned on in the notification settings.

I had a successful Time Machine backup an hour ago, and just now I just got a popup saying the backup has failed because there isn't enough space left. For some reason, Time Machine wants to back up 75 GB of data. I have no idea what it's backing up because there is no way 75 gigs of stuff has changed in one hour. So is there any way to see what it's trying to backup or why it all of a sudden thinks it needs to back up 75 gigs?

Yeah I looked at the options and all of the excludes are the same as they always are, and I haven't done anything that would cause 75 gigs of new or changed data in one hour. edit - I don't know what the gently caress happened but I cleared up enough free space on the drive and then it did the backup and according to the logs it decided it had 75 gigs to back up, and started the back up and ended up backing up like 200 megs, and is now complete. I don't know what that was about, seems like some weird bug or something, not actually 75 gigs to backup. Samuel L. ACKSYN fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Nov 26, 2013 |

If you have Facebook poo poo turned on for notification center, is something supposed to happen if you click them? Only recently has my macbook started displaying them but if I click them, safari gets activated but it doesn't actually load Facebook or anything. Twitter notifications still haven't worked but thats not really a big deal.

^^^ They learned to leave the old versions of the app still installed so you have them available while they re-implement features in their ground-up rewrite. Which, apparently, is what the new iWork is. Also, they learned to be more communicative about plans to re-add said features. But only slightly more communicative. (This may still leave you wondering why they didn't learn "just loving implement everything before releasing v1.0 jesus christ")

computer parts posted:Probably a mix of "legacy support is annoying" and "We don't really know what people liked from the previous version but putting everything back in would take too many resources". Right but these changes leave pages less powerful than bloody wordpad on a pc. Its an unfinished product! I mean a wordprocessor without an outline is a product less advanced than wordperfect in the loving 1980s! I guess I'll just trash the new one and fish the old one out of storage  edit: gently caress Documents not backwards compatible. What loving oval office thought this was a good idea? edit2: Ok.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. For now I stated using Tunnelblik and so far it seems to work fine, the kext even seems to be signed. It also supports Applescript so I wrote a python script to detect when I connect to various wireless networks and start the right vpn for each.

If you use Xsan, the iSCSI initiator is included, but gently caress you if you don't. The point is that when Apple killed the Xserve, and started scaling back OS X Server a few years ago, they signaled the path to pushing out enterprise and professional applications and support. Now Apple's mantra is 'we are clearly the best at knowing what you want and how to use it, so gently caress you.' See, Final Cut Pro and to a lesser extent, the new Pages, Keynote, and Numbers 'updates'. I used to do video/audio engineering at a previous job, and I was fighting an uphill battle to switch to Windows because I saw this poo poo coming down the pike for a while. The 'professional' workstation with zero PCI-E slots and zero CUDA support, is just laughable at this point if you work in the industry.
