At this point I'm just not sure this is an improvement; I'm used to opening Photoshop and having it go here (space 4, left screen), and when I open Chrome it goes there (space 2, left screen). Now poo poo's going all over the place. Guess I'll get used to it. Edit: you might want to turn off 'arrange spaces based on use' in Mission Control preferences so everything's always in the same order.

^^ Still one more key than F12! (plus, when I close spotlight it doesn't remember my answer the next time I open it) Mercurius posted:You can still get it to do this behaviour. What you need to do is move the application windows to the space on the correct monitor (mission control is the easiest way to do this) then right click their icons on the dock and tell it to keep them on that space on that screen (option is in the submenu under keep in dock, can't remember exactly what it's called). That should combo with Mission Control's 'switch to a space with open windows for the application' setting to do what you want. Bob Morales posted:Command-Space 'c..a...l..' enter!

jackpot posted:^^ Still one more key than F12! Edit: re-read what you actually wrote. Set it up at work and then disconnect the monitor and adjust the space pinning again. Mavericks treats each monitor separately so it should still be okay. I'll test it when I get to work since I do the same thing you do.

So I forgot to give blood today. Wasn't there going to be a function in the calendar application to alert you before an event, and even figure out travel time and alert you when you should leave too? Sorry Red Cross.

Is anybody else finding that some apps on Mavericks refuse to stay logged in? So far SimpleNote, DeskConnect and Evernote are the most prominent problem apps. I've removed and reinstalled them all from the MAS but no joy, even wiping out all preferences doesn't make a blind bit of difference either.

I don't think this has been brought up yet. I updated my 2013 Air to Mavericks the day it came out. Now I'm getting this intermittent thing where there's no sound when I wake from sleep. The output device is still there, and it switches from Internal Speakers (built-in) to headphones as normal, but there is no output. Restarting fixes it, but that really sucks. Before the updates my uptime was at more than two months. Sounds like it's being discussed, but no fixes yet.

Khelmar posted:I copied my home directory over to the new partition, then specified it under Accounts -> Advanced settings -> home directory location. I'll check permissions when I get home, but it feels more like a FileVault issue - namely, it doesn't unlock anything other than the boot partition until after it tries to load preferences. As for leaving the user on the boot partition and symlinking stuff out, that's actually what I do...and am planning to move away from it once i get a fancy external enclosure . It works fine but would rather just have everything in one place again. Molten Llama posted:I've been using it since it went open source and trying to contribute to development.

I don't use any of those, but Twitter does this and it's really testing my patience. Every time I relaunch it after quitting, it's forgotten all four Twitter accounts I've set up, and then I have to go through the setup process all over. Tried everything, from reinstalling using the App Store to deleting preferences. Bleh.

Tippis posted:Have you checked that they're not app-napping? Depending on how they manage that connection, it's entirely possible that they time out or just get disconnected because OSX decides they've been to inactive to be allowed their normal CPU allotment. Of course, it should detect that they're trying to create or maintain that connection, but still… Definitely not, this happens if you open the app, login, then quit immediately and relaunch the app. On second load it has no knowledge of ever being setup with login details.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Siri for math! To answer my earlier question about wallpapers, you can't change them all at once - if you have multiple desktops already setup, you have to change them one by one. BUT, once you set the wallpaper for desktop 1 (or in the case of multiple monitors, once you set the wallpaper for your "first" desktop on each screen) all subsequent desktops you create will have the same wallpaper. Seems like it would've been really easy to add a "change on all desktops" option somewhere, but oh well. Oh, fixed my photoshop cursor issue, too: reset all the settings by holding down shift-ctrl-opt-cmd (I think one of those isn't necessary, but I don't know which one) while opening it. Still don't know what caused it, although it's suspicious that it happened the same day I started using the Magic Mouse.

I'm going from an old MBP with SL to a new Mavericks MBP. Most of my old software (CS2, Quicken, etc.) is not going to work on the new machine. Is it crazy to turn my old MBP into a VM and run it in Fusion for a while until I get things sorted out? It seems like it would be easier than having to keep both laptops in action while I transition things like my Quicken data to the Windows version. Paragon has a free piece of software for turning the old one into a VM that Fusion can use.

I had deleted the iWork 09 apps in my haste to move forward, but just restored them from the Time Machine drive. I had some forms I'd made in Pages for students to fill out...3 copies of the form per page, and it put them all inline rather than one on top of each other and I couldn't fix it. Luckily I had to the documents backed up in Time Machine as well so that I could get them to the pre-opened with Pages 5.0 state. I also miss the ability to password protect a PDF made in keynote to prevent printing and editing, but not opening, now the only option is a password for opening. I use this to give handouts to my colleagues without having them edit them and claim them as their own teaching materials. I guess I'll be using the old 09 apps until the new ones catch up - but just like FCPX, I know they will eventually.

Is network settings sharing now a thing between OSX and iOS now? My MBP now has a huge list of networks its never been on that more than likely came from my phone. Also, if I add/remove a device from a wireless network, the other one follows behind shortly. For example, when I get to work I put my MBP on the Wi-Fi network, but I don't connect my phone so I can still use things like gmail, facebook, etc., all the poo poo that work usually blocks. Within a few minutes though, somehow my phone got added to the network. I remove the phone from the network, and then within 5 minutes both my MBP and iPad are off the network too. Re-add the MPB and iPad, and the phone joins right back in. Please tell me there is a way to turn this poo poo off.

So Mail for Mavericks is pretty garbage now, right? I know a few will joke about the "now" part, but since upgrading my Inboxes don't stay sorted. I'll delete and email or file away an email into a folder, and it will eventually copy another version of that email in the Inbox. The email stays in the folder/trash, but a new copy will make its way back into the Inbox. If I delete/move the email, and then quickly quit the program, there's a good chance that it will stay sorted, but I liked having the program open 24/7 before Mavericks.
