Di asks, “I’d love a rambling about Spaces, is it possible to have multiple desktops for one app?”
Well Di, Spaces is an aspect of the Mac OS that enables you to have multiple desktops for organizational purposes. We had a technician here who was a multi-monitor addict and had a hard time adjusting to only having one monitor on his bench here in South Burlington. In order to compensate for this, he would use Spaces to create several desktops to organize his applications and work flow as though he had several monitors. To my knowledge, you can’t use Spaces to create multiple desktops for a single application. What you can do is have that application appear in each Space but as far as I know it doesn’t virtualize multiple instances of that application being open. You still only have one install of Word for example. A good quick intro to Spaces is the Apple Knowledge Base article HT1624 that you can access here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1624
Kirsten asks, “What does it mean when the icons on the iPhone 4 start jiggling? Also, I have noticed that I can switch apps but can’t do more than one page in Safari at a time.”
To answer your first question Kirsten, the jiggling icons signify that you’ve held your finger down on an app for a few seconds longer than it would take to start that app. This enables you to rearrange the icons by dragging them, or delete the app from your iDevice by tapping on the ‘x’ in the top left corner of the icon. To stop them from jiggling just click your home button once. This applies not only to your iPhone 4 but any of Apple’s iDevices running the current version of iOS.
As far as Safari is concerned, you can open another Safari window by tapping the icon in the lower-right that looks like two squares on top of one another. The screen will change slightly and you’ll see a button for ‘New Page’ in the lower left. Just tap that, and you now have multiple browser windows. That double-square icon will now have a number in it showing how many windows you have active in Safari.
