Can't see multiple spaces from mission control

I have six spaces open, but when I enter mission control, I don't see the 6 windows up top; they are invisible. If I click in the general location I'll get to the space, but I can't see any images of the six spaces which are peppered with apps. Its blank up top. Need a fix. Thanks

Exact same problem. Had this on my Macbook Pro and then my iMac. On the iMac I only get the 'correct' Mission Control display on a screen that is not 'desktop 1'.
But the Macbook Pro refuses to show it all. I get the same response as the poster above - invisible thumbnails that work when clicked.
Any help would be great.

  • [bug] Can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

    I can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

    I recently moved my dock to the right so I didn't know the + sign would switch sides. I normally run around that many too depending on how large of a stack whatever I am programming is using.
    Anyways, thanks for the help

  • Can't See All Windows in Mission Control

    My favorite feature on the mac has always been the ability to see all open windows with a simple click (F3 on my keyboard). I often have multiple word documents and multiple pdf files open, as well as two or three different browser windows, several image files, and who knows what else. It is very common for me to have 10-20 open windows and it was always a huge help to be able to see them all at once, with filenames that would pop up when hovering with the mouse. This feature made it incredibly easy to move from file to file and truly see everything on the desktop at once.
    As far as I can tell, this is no longer possible with Lion and Mission Control. Now if I have multiple windows open in a single application and enter Mission Control I see them tiled over one another, without filenames displayed for any. Sure, I can see all the applications I have open, but what good is that if I can't see which files I have? It's making it very difficult to work effectively-- basically I have to minimize each window one by one until I find the one I want.
    Am I missing something? Can anyone using Lion tell me how to see a graphic representation of ALL open windows, with filenames? Like I could in the good old days? Or is there something like a "see all open files" ability in Finder?
    Thanks!

    I know what you mean - it was nice to see all the windows.
    Tell Apple here:  Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    To mitigate this problem there is "App expose" which lets you see all open windows for any given application.
    And, in Mission Control you can spread a given application's windows a little further apart or you can preview any given window within Mission Control.
    How you do all that stuff depends on how you've configured mouse, keyboard and trackpad. For example, on my trackpad, to spread MC windows a bit I slide two fingers up (with cursor over the group of windows). To preview a given window, I put the cursor over the window and hit the space bar. For me, App expose can be activated by 4 fingers down for the frontmost app, and four fingers down with the cursor over the chosen app in the dock.

  • How can i use my pictures for Mission Control Spaces in Lion?

    How do I get a chosen selection of my own photos to be available for use as desktop pictures, with a different one for each Space in Mission Control in Lion?
    I have a new Macbook Air, Thunderbolt display and Lion.

    As long as your Office for Mac is 2011, you will have no problems using the programs.  If it is the Office for Mac 2008 version, there have been some mixed reviews.  2004 will not work at all.
    I have the 2011 version and have not had any problems since upgrading to Lion.

  • Desktop wallpaper overlapping Spaces in Mission Control

    This is a weird one. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can't access Spaces in Mission Control properly because I have desktop wallpaper from a previous space overlapping most of the spaces at the top of Mission Control, i.e. desktop wallpaper from Space 1 carrying over onto Space 2 and blocking out the spaces at the top two-thirds of Mission Control (see image).
    This currently occurs with my MBP hooked up to my Thunderbolt Display. (Haven't confirmed this behavior on the MBP alone yet.)

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Unable to move Finder between Spaces in Mission Control

    This problem has been plaguing me for several months now even before I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion. And for some reason I just can't seem to move the Finder (and some other apps) between indvidual spaces in Mission Control. Even worse, when I use my Magic Mouse to swip to another space, the Finder also appears in the other Space as well.
    I tried Repairing Permissions, doing a Safe Boot, Defragmenting (using third party app which did speed up performance but not fix the issue), and restoring from Time Machine backup. Nothing seems to fix it. I'm on a 2009 27 inch iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo. If any of you are experiencing this problem it be great to see if a solution was ever found. My last option would be to completely start from scratch but it be a real hassle for me (with so many third party apps backlogs etc that I'd have to find someway of transferring). Thanks.

    Never mind I just fixed the problem by searching around the community and finding this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4024312
    Anyway it was as simple as holding down the application in the dock and just selecting "Options -> Assign to -> None (rather than All Desktops).

  • I want to be able to close things from Mission Control. Make it happen Apple. Thanks

    Hi,
    I lost my session about two days ago, with a lot of important tabs that just vanished as I upgraded my Firefox.
    Now I don't know if it is possile to restore that session. I didn't have the session-manager extension installed..
    I also found in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default
    some files that I think they might be useful, that are called "sessionstore" (JScript script file).
    Can somebody help me?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Can we call multiple Smartforms from single Driver Prog?

    Hi all,
    Can we call multiple smartforms from single Driver Program. Here Driver program is custom Program.
    I want to give Print Parameter only once and output should get printed one after the another smartform in same order of smarforms were called.
    If yes, then how?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can do this in your Smartform driver program.
    Each time you call you Smartform function module you will need to change the values in structure OUTPUT_OPTIONS slightly.
    On the first call set TDNEWID to X.
    After this, set it to space
    On the last form set TDFINAL to X.
    This will put all of the output into one spool request, in the order they are called in the program.
    Regards,
    Nick

  • How do I remove Messages from Mission Control?

    I double clicked the top near the resize arrow mistakenly and it made its own screen in Mission Control. I've been looking online but I can't find out how to remove it. I've tried the control+click but it doesn't show the x. I don't want my messages in Mission Control as it just full screens it. I tried quitting and reopening but it just keeps opening my message window in the Mission Control full screen style. Even restarted my computer.

    I figured it out on my own finally. If for some reason you have a messages chat window open on its own as a full screen in the Mission Control and you want to remove it from Mission Control, just command+W and close the window that is currently open in Mission Control. Then Messages returns to normal. Also figured out that if you click those arrows at the top right hand side, it will full screen it in Mission Control. Those arrows are not the resize!

  • How do I delete unused window spaces in Mission Control with Mountain Lion?

    When I open an application to full-window size (opening a new "space" in mission control), the "space" does not close when I terminate the application.  Instead, the space remains blank.  There are no options to remove or open an application, and I cannot remove the empty space in mission control.  When I re-open the same program, it creates a new space.  Now I have 11 spaces and only 4 of them are usable/not blank.
    How do I delete the blank ones?

    JonRow, Look familiar?
    And when I did try and swipe through full screen apps I briefly got this. See image below. (note the menu bar icons top right)
    Before going to a blank grey screen.
    If the problem comes back I will tru the killall dock command.
    Cheers

  • My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup

    My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup.  The feature to activate it on the keyboard won't work, also trying to open the app itself doesn't do anything and the multitouch two finger swipe and hpt corners I have setup don't do anything as well.  Any idea on what might be conflicting to cause this?

    Try moving your com.apple.spaces.plist from the preferences folder to the desktop then give it a try.  To get your preference folder you will need to hold down the option key while clicking on the go menu in the finder then click on library then click the preferences folder.

  • Can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

    Hello, can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

    The solution was to remove all versions of Acrobat Pro and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. I still had the download file in my Time Machine backup. That's a good thing, since the download link from the order listing on the Adobe website under my account would not work.
    The problems don't occur with version 11.0.0. I got the work done, now I'm updating to 11.1.0 and will report if they came back.

  • Powerbook G4 Can't "See" Wireless Signal from Ubee Modem/Router

    I was given a G4 Powerbook while out of town and it found the wireless signal in an apartment complex and a major airport just fine. But upon returning home it can't "see" the signal from my (Time Warner, Road Runner Extreme) Ubee modem/router. My Mac Mini's Airport sees the Ubee wireless signal fine, but the older Powerbook G4 can't. (The Airport signal in the menu bar has "bars" but they are grayed out.
    Can an older G4 connect with the newer Ubee modem/router? Are there security settings that will allow this?
    Tx,
    WK

    CRMDVM -- Thanks for the helpful info -- you are probably right on both counts:
    The apartments where I picked up a signal is in an "old folks" apt. complex, meaning the router I was picking up was probably old -- compatible with the G4 lineage. And the Atlanta airport probably has a wireless system to allow the vast number of old and new computers that people carry to connect.
    My Mac Mini connects via WPA2 Personal security code, and I set the G4 to the same security (in the Network preference pane) but still nothing. The Airport wireless icon in the menu bar is still grayed out -- it isn't the "blank" icon as when Airport is turned off. It has the wireless wave lines in the icon, but just grayed out.
    Maybe the G4 is just too old to "see" the newer wireless signal from the new modem/router.
    Thanks again for your help -- you definitely provided more than I knew. (btw, I'm just above you in Union County in Stallings).
