Apps not showing up in Mission Control

that is, when I launch such apps as ones of iWork and iLife suites simultaneously. Some  of them are launching very sluggishly (as I posted this in other thread, though related to a different issue), with considerable delay or quitting, I noticed that though an active app indicator shows up, I don't see its main window etc. More recently I noticed that when iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band are launched simultaneously (with iWork apps), then Mission control displays just iPhoto and iMovie.
I repaired all possible permissions, corrected bad font, reset SMS and PRAM. True, I have 45 GB of free disk space, 4GB of RAM. Maybe it's not enough of memory? But Activity Monitor never showed lack of it. What would you suggest?

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • HT4689 My desktops are not showing up in mission control

    When I use mission control my desktops do not show up, however they are there (just invisible) because if I hover over where they should be and click I am taken to that desktop.

    Hi Jeff,
    Exactly - I do not see them under my account. I have already deleted history, cookies, etc., had my password reset 2x and tried 2 other browsers. I have all my serial numbers that I've saved at home.
    The problem is that I do not see any of my products beyond 2012. I only see a few under orders. I don't see any that should be registered.
    I'd attaching a couple of screenshots so you can see what I see (serial #s and personal info covered up with gray boxes). I should be able to, right? I used to  be able to. This happened 2 years ago as well and finally someone fixed it. Obviously there should be a lot more listed.

  • Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

    Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

  • IMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked.

    Can't open iMovie. iMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked. It just disappears up in the top left corner of the screen. The controls on the top of the screen (like; iMovie, File, Edit, View, Text, Share, etc) are al there, and they seem to work, but the window just won't show up.

  • Apps not showing in notification settings

    I just bought my iPhone 6 two days ago. Running IOS 8.1.2
    Why is some of my apps not showing in the notification settings.
    Downloaded 15 games only 10 showing in the notification settings.
    When I first download the apps and run it. It does not pop out any request to allow notification.

    Is it the same apps or do they change? If it the same ones - it may be a developer issue
    Do you know if an app that is not showing in the notification center of your phone shows up on someone else's iphone notification center?

    If they were purchased using a different Apple ID than the one your phone is signed in to in Settings>iTunes & App Stores they won't appear until you sign into the other ID.  They also won't appear if they are no longer available in the app store.

  • HFM and Planning apps not showing up in workspace..

    Hi All
    We recently had the SSL certificate expired and after we renewed them, and restarted all the services, the HFM and Planning apps are not showing up in workspace Navigate->Applications. When I click on Classic Administration -> Consolidation Administration or Planning Administration , I get the following error.
    "Please make sure that the Application you are trying to launch is registered with SharedServices.Shared Services must be running for the feature you are trying to access.Close the current browser window and try logging into workspace again after a little while.Contact your administrator for further information."
    I also cannot open the HFM app in "Projects" in HSS, but can open Planning apps. ( not sure if that helps)
    I m able to open the Planning and HFM apps using the Direct links, (not through workspace) and able to login and perform any task with in the application.
    The issue looks more like workspace is not able to communicate with Foundation or shared services.
    Can you tell me what would be the reason for apps not showing up in the Workspace and a possible resolution?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Raghu.

    Hi Raghu,
    I'm faced with the same problem.
    If you have managed tor resolve the same, please help me with the solution.

  • Apps are not showing up with parental controls

    I recently purchased Spellboard from the Mac App Store to help my son with his spelling quizes. I have parental controls set up for him and the app does not show up in his applications folder. I have it selected in parental controls, the app is rated for 4+ and I have the permissions set to 12+. The app shows up and works fine under mine and my wifes logins which are set to admin. I can't figure this out. Any other applications we select that ARE NOT Mac app store purchased show up fine when selected for him. Anyone else run into this problem? Any fix?

    Just to clarify, there are no app store purchases that will show up when selected for his account managed with parental controls.

  • Minimized apps not showing in dock

    I'm on Yosemite 10.10.3 and when I minimize my apps they don't show in the dock. For example if I have multiple Chrome accounts open and I minimize two of the three windows they collapse into the Chrome icon instead of appearing on the right side of the dock as a minimized window. How can I get minimized windows to appear on the right side of the dock bar? Also, in Mission Control I unchecked "Group windows by application".
    Thanks in advance for you help.

    Go to your Dock preferences in System Preferences and change the setting there.
    uncheck minimise windows into application icon.

  • RadioTime App not showing up in Palm's App Catalog for Pre users inside the United States!

    Hi,
    Preware is telling me that there is an update for RadioTime which I purchased from Palm's App Catalog a few months ago.
    I love this app!
    However, when I attempt to do the update, the Palm App Catalog is telling me there is no app there!
    The app shows OK when looking for it from the Palm's Website, here is the link it's at the bottom of the page on the right side:
    http://www.palm.com/us/products/software/mobile-applications.html
    I think they mistakenly set updated app to be only for Pixi users and that is why it's not showing for the Pre users.
    That of course is just a guess as to why it's not showing up.
    I am trying to contact Palm Support to let them know of the problem but when I attempt to do a LIVE chat, it's not working with either IE or Firebox or even Chrome browsers.
    I am not going to call and pay $15 to tell them about their problem!
    Please can someone who has inside contacts please let them know of the problem!
    Thanks!
    Rob
    PS I will be watching for any replies that made to this new thread!

    http://www.houseofpalm.com/palm.application.com-app-radiotime-qFm.aspx
    It looks like radiotime is available only for Pixi users. Palm does not control who gets the applications it is done by the developer, you may want to try contacting them asking if the application can be opened up for Pre users as well.

  • Apps not showing in i cloud.

    Hello my iCloud account is not showing the apps i had bought. What am i doing wrong please?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Any apps you purchase on your iOS device, will not show on your PC. This would be pointless, your PC cannot run these apps. Apps purchased from the App Store on your iPad can be re-downloaded at any time from the App Store, there is no need to back up Apps because of this. App data is backed up, but backups are either stored in the cloud or in iTunes on your PC. They will not show up in your iCloud Control Panel.

    Hi Pratap, Sumit,
    I did do the steps afresh now but still teh issue persists,
    1) Download the complete classes/oracle/apps/per folder to my local desktop myclasses/oracle/apps/per in Binary mode.
    2) In Jdeveloper i created a new OAF Workspace and Project and mentioned the default package as oracle.apps.per
    3) In myprojects/oracle/apps/per/selfservice/hierarchy/server i copied only the XML files (VO,View Link) from the server in Binary mode and the PG.xml from the database using the export batch program.
    4) Close and open Jdeveloper and you can see the PG.xml in webui folder and only the view object xml files in server folder. View Links do not show up eventhough they are available in the folder. Even the server.xml file which is available in the folder does not show up in Application Navigator.
    Please let me know if i have missed any step which you had mentioned.
    Thanks, Suresh
