This was great! I have used Apple computers for awhile but never as a work station computer. I just purchased the new IMac and wanted to see what this was all about. I'm very glad to have seen your video first. Simple and to the point. Thank you.
probelm i found with this is... how do you know which space has which program open? e.g i go word on screen 4, if i am in screen 1, and i try to maximise word, nothing happens, i need to try find it or remember which spac i had it open
I use 9 spaces on a daily basis. That white box below the "rows/columns" lets you assign an application to a window so every time you open that application it opens in that window. For example i have firefox set as #5 i have all my IM clients as #4 i have itunes as #2 i have ical as #3 i have mail as #6 and x-moto as #8 etc etc. I spend most of my time in the center screen and everything i use often is just one or two screens away. There are a lot more functions of spaces you missed.
Great demo. Do you know how to set it up so that you can hit a function key and you'll go right to Spaces? I keep my dock hidden most of the time, and anyway, FN keys rock. Thanks!
Of course, Apple invented multiple desktops with Leopard. Not as though that was on many Unix boxes back in the 90s. They didn't have the hip cool name "Spaces". Thanks Steve Jobs for telling us what we want/need.
Linux's 3D cube/wall desktops simply blow the market away... In fact, if Linux had more programs, Linux would be 96% of market share, and Windows that 0.98%. OPENSOURCE OS FTW
"Expose within Spaces - clearly genius" LOL. Why do you talk like you're in one of Apple's commercials? Normal voice/tone should be enough for these kind of demo.
You did not directly address what happens to desktop icons. Do they all remain the same on all "desktops," or does each "desktop" give you a fresh empty space that can accumulate it's own icons (that are visible only in that space)?
You'll find the Spaces application in your Applications>Utilities folder. Simply drag it to wherever you want it in the Dock. It worked for me in OS 10.6
Wish mac had realized that part of the appeal of spaces would be to have a different wallpaper on each different space. Oh well, at least someone was smart enough to make Space Suit that adds that functionality and it's free.
Lol, Linux has been doing this for years, noobs. Also, on Windows you don't need an OS upgrade. Free apps has also been doing this for yeaars (yes, before this video was made in 2008)
This guy is way too obsessed with spaces, sure it organizes a little bit but expose is just as simple and u dont have to do all the clicking and dragging
thanks man, but i use spaces with desktop manager, and if i'm in a empty space i can't open a new program without going to the first space, could you help me out? thanks.
Hey, thanks for posting this. I'm wondering, what makes sense as far as organizing spaces. For example, when I use iMovie I also use iPhoto a lot, does that imply that it would be most effiicient (minimizing clicks) if I had iMovie and iPhoto in the same space??
Wow! This is new to me! And I like it. Thanks so much for the time to show this to Mac newbies. I'll be using multiple Spaces- at least 6-9 (or more) for Open Office docs!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You think you are funny don't you?
Linux had spaces before apple did and stop talking like a fucking ad! And aswell, I bet you 100% that if they didn't put spaces into Leopard, you woulnd't be tired of Expose yet!
first off, what is your username? and you think that I'm a fag? haha. Secondly, this is a demo...it is clearly marked as such. so if you do not need a demonstration of spaces, why are you watching this video?
@howtodothingscool bloody hell, calm down. as your username so says "howtodothingscool" that was not at all cool. and dont call other people a MACFAG cos the mac reaper might come in your sleep to eat you alivee...!!!
I have it set to 16 spaces . . . with a two monitor setup :-) = 32 spaces!! I use about 9 though. Final Cut Illustrator Photoshop Safari and iChat Entourage M$ word ImTooDVD and DVDpedia iWeb iPhoto Sadly I do use them all at the same time, god bless apple for hot keys :-)
Ok... Ubuntu is my favorite version of Linux however, Mac wins hands down on multiple desktops. You can not tell me that the interface is more graphic on linux. When your talking about looks, Mac is better than Ubuntu everyday.
I wasn't talking about everything. I was just talking about the Multiple Desktop feature. In ubuntu the multiple desktop feature, In my opinion, looks better than in OS X. Besides Linux and OS X fans both agree...windows sucks.
No the keyboard has the preset as well press F8 for spaces and F9 for Exposé if the key has something on it press the function key first. I'm sure you know how to do that.
Well actually the Exposé button was not in tiger. Exposé was introduced in 10.3 panther and you would press F10 F9 F11 it would do different stuff with Exposé.
Great demo...I'm finally using everything I paid for on this Mac...
