Displaying all application windows through Hot Corners is no longer working.

I have my MacBook Pro and my iMac setup to display APPLICATION WINDOWS through the upper right HOT CORNER.   It is no longer working on my iMac.  Instead, the system only displays the top/recent used window.  The display separates and shows the most recent window floating, but, no longer does it arrange windows of each application on the desktop.  There are no other options, it's either set in HOT CORNERS or not.   What changed?   It still works on my MacBook.  Version update = 10.10.2 (14C1514)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • How to display all running windows in xmonad ?(SOLVED)

    The function is same as pressing `alt+tab` in MS windows. When pressing the specified hot key, xmonad will display all running windows. And the user can choose and shift to the selected window, which may be on different workspace.

    sure you can use keys to control volume.
    if you've got volume keys on your keyboard then you can use
    ((0, 0x1008ff11), spawn "aumix -v-6") -- volume--
    ((0, 0x1008ff13), spawn "aumix -v+6") -- volume++
    ((0, 0x1008ff12), spawn "amixer set Master toggle") -- mute
    else you can use other keys (like up/down) as keybindings to aumix & amixer.
    you can always use /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB for keysymbols
    hope that helps

  • How to turn off "re-open all application windows"

    How to turn off "re-open all application windows". Even though its unselected in preferences. my computer still tries to do this and causes startup problems and delays. its been a hangup since lion. when are they going to fix this???

    Try this. . .
    You have two choices. You can choose that your applications not resume their previous state when you shutdown or restart the Mac by deselecting the checkbox that appears prior to shutdown:
    Or you can navigate to the General pane in System Preferences and deselect the Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps option. However, if you do this, applications will never resume their previous state, even when quit and restarted during a single boot session.

  • All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer.

    All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer. I don't know how I managed to disabled it. Can anyone tell me how to re-enable it?
    I already tried the following:
    - I closed the application and re-opened it. - It didn't work
    - I re-started my machine. I didn't work
    Help! Thank you

    The same thing has just happened to me and this was very useful to correct the problem --- but now I am wondering why or how this happened. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't make any setting changes so why did I lose the Enter action?

  • The synchronisation of iphone 4S to windows 7/64 bit does no longer work; kalender, individual ringtones and contacts get not sychronized in both directions. I tried reset on working configuration, deinstallation of itunes - nothing worked

    The synchronisation of iphone 4S to windows 7/64 bit does no longer work; kalender, individual ringtones and contacts get not sychronized in both directions. I tried reset on working configuration, deinstallation of itunes - nothing worked - what can be done to solve?

    Couple of things to check:
    You are using Outlook 2003, 2007 or 2010
    You have selected to sync Calendars and Contacts with Outlook on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings
    You have selected your Outlook calendar as the default claendar on your iPhone (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar)
    If all that is correct and iTunes still won't sync correctly, you might have to try reinstalling Outlook.  Another option is to enable iCloud syncing with Outlook (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/).  This requires Outlook 2007 or 2010.  If you decide to sync using iCloud but sure to disable contacts and calendar syncing in iTunes on the Info tab of your sync settings.  Do not try to sync with both Outlook and iCloud or you will end up with duplicates in your contacts and calendar.
    For syncing Ringtones confirm that:
    The file is really a ringtone (right-click the file in iTunes, select Get Info, on the Summary tab it should say "Kind: Ringtone".
    You have checked each of the ringtones you want to sync
    You have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings
    You have checked Sync Tones on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings

  • Dock, Expose, Hot Corners etc. don't work anymore! Solutions?

    Two days ago I decided to restart my Macbook. When the screen popped up it gave me the option of "Reopen windows when logging back in". I never noticed this before switching from Snow Leopard to Lion but maybe it's always been there. Anyways, as you know it is checked by default so I unchecked it just out of curiosity and restarted my system.
    When the system came back on, my desktop background had vanished, hot corners will not work, dock does not show up, and when I try to change any of these preferences they do not take. (i.e.-changing orientation of the dock from bottom to left, it simply won't let me select left) I can only open applications from spotlight, and when I mouse over an item now it turns the font white, which never happened before since I did not have it set like that. In addition, google chrome and safari both crash quite frequently since these mess-ups, and so I have resorted to doing all of my work from Firefox.
    I've read in these forums as well as other place on the web about this problem happening, but I have tried all of the remedies to no avail. In the past, the problem for users was a lot of the time caused by the use of a wireless mouse. However, I have never used a wireless mouse so this can't be the problem. I also went in to disk utilities and ran a repair, thinking maybe something might click but nothing did. I have restarted/shut down many times just to see if the problem has fixed itself, which it hasn't yet. I've gone into Activity Monitor and relaunched Finder several times, and also noticed that Report Crash is working super hard on the system for some reason. (Maybe because of many of my programs freezing and crashing?)  I also deleted many recent downloads, since I had one or two unfinished downloads and this had been the problem for one user inparticular...I did a "Secure Empty Trash" from the finder menu for these items. I also ran CleanMyMac and uninstalled a couple of applications that I don't use just for good measure...still NOTHING.
    I'm in no way an expert with computers, I just own a macbook and it's having problems. If you guys could lend your expertise as a last ditch effort that'd be great. I'd prefer not to take it to GeekSquad, Apple Store, or a repair shop because I'm a college student and I'm literally broke at the moment, so any remedies or ideas would take weight off of my chest.
    Thanks in advance-Jameson

    Also, this black bar shows up towards the bottom of the screen on the left side when it's on the apple loading screen. Not sure what it is...and yes I have also run system updates.

  • FF 3.6 not displaying all items in a table but IE and Chrome work fine.

    One of the pages on a web site I created uses a large table to display a list of manufacturers. When you view the page in Firefox some of the table items do not appear. However, in Internet Explorer and Chrome the table displays all of the items as it should.
    This is a link to the page: http://simcona.com/commodities.html

    I have this same problem. I can't remember if it started with when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, or when I chose to upgrade to a different version other than 3.6 (although I think it happened with 3.6 as well). I doubt it's any addons, because most of them were disabled when I upgraded to 6, 7, 8. One of them crashed multiple times a day, so I went back to a earlier release. I'm currently using 8.0.1, and Firefox was consistently using 1.3 GB of real memory even after quitting (I usually had to force quit because it would literally minutes for it to quit, maybe never quitting- I left it for 15 minutes once... still hadn't quit). The Flash plug-in alone would sometimes use 500 MB of real memory. After almost 2 years of this I can't deal with it anymore. I love FF and have used it from the beginning...
    But when I turned off every addon I have (except for Tree Style Tabs, which is possibly the only thing keeping me from fully switching), and restart FF, FF is using 730 MB of RAM (well it's still climbing 740, now) and 10-20% of CPU, while the Flash plugin is using 15% of CPU. I also noticed that once I closed Gmail, my RAM usage dropped from 1.3 GB to 850 MB. It could've been something else, but that's the main thing I can think of that I did different.
    When Chrome is using only 120 GB, 0.5-2% CPU usage, has been open for days, with 3 windows and multiple tabs in each... (Chrome's Flash plugin is only using 4% CPU by the way)... something is wrong with FF. I love FF, but I've grown to hate it. And this is coming from a guy who really, really, REALLY doesn't want to switch. In fact I still use FF, but am slowly weening myself off it it. It's just not worth the slow down from RAM usage and heat from my CPU (FF often spikes to near 100% usage) anymore...

  • I used to use a bookmark for maximizing the firefox window, but in FF9 it no longer works.

    Before upgrading, I used the following snippet of code in the "Location" field of a Bookmark:
    javascript:self.resizeTo(screen.availwidth,screen.availheight);self.moveto(0,0);
    However, with FF9 that no longer works. I attempted to change the front portion (before the open parenthesis) to:
    browser.window.resize_to
    but after I remove focus from the text box, it adds the "http://" to the front of the code and a "/" to the end of it. I have two questions:
    #1. Is there a way to stop Firefox from adding the "http://" and "/" to the location box?
    #2. Is there a better way to set up the bookmark (or another quick-access method) to automatically resize the window?

    You can only do that in the Scratchpad if an XUL window like about:addons or about:config is open.
    *Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)
    You can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar in Firefox 6 and later.<br />
    You can see an error message in the Tools > Error Console.<br />
    That code now gets a null principal for security reasons and doesn't have any effect (Bug 656433).<br />
    You need to create a (keyword) bookmarklet and run the code by invoking that bookmark.<br />
    Use the Scratch pad (Firefox > Web Developer > Scratchpad; Shift+F4) to run JavaScript code.<br />
    Open a tab with an XUL page like about:addons (Tools > Addons) to be able to resize or move a window via JavaScript code in the Scratchpad in Firefox 9+.<br />

  • After resetting all plug-ins a recently installed plugin no longer works and will not reinstall. It will not show up in the add-ons depsite saying it installed

    I recently had to reset my plugins using Firefox 12 in safemode to get rid of an extension/add-on causing a redirect problem. All has been well, except a plugin I needed no longer works. It is called "missing-e" and is for Tumblr.
    I have tried reinstalling it at least 5 times, per their instructions, and am now here after they said it was a browser issue. I do get prompted to install it to firefox, I have it install, I get the message it was installed correctly - but then it never shows up in either the Extensions or Plugins area under Add-Ons area (though nothing ever shows up in Extensions). And the features it enables in tumblr are not enabled.
    The 'missing-e' people sent me here saying they believe this is a browser problem.

    Are you talking about plugins or extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) as you mention Safe mode?
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

  • Lion won't display multiple application windows at once

    I apologize in advance if someone else has already posted this problem, but I've searched and searched and found nothing on it. It's a hard one to describe, so bear with me.
    Basically, since installing Lion (currently 10.7.4) on my home iMac, I've been unable to have windows for more than one application appear at one time. For the most part, applications run just fine. But say I have Adobe Illustrator open and want to drag an image from a folder in Finder into my document. The second I select Finder from the Dock, Illustrator disappears. Click back on Illustrator from the dock, and it reappears, but now my Finder window has gone AWOL. Seems like it's all still there, just becomes invisible. At no time will it display more than one application. Two windows of the same application? No problem. But any time I switch between apps, it shows only the most recently selected app, regardless of what's actually running on my machine. Makes dragging and dropping from one app to another near impossible.
    I've read about problems regarding apps becoming invisible, but virtually all posts say they also become unresponsive (ie. don't come back at all when reselected from the Dock), and that quitting and restarting the app generally fixes the problem. This isn't the case for me. Quitting and restarting does nothing. Even a fresh install of Lion did nothing. I find it hard to imagine this could be a hardware issue though. My iMac works perfectly otherwise, and this behaviour is just bizarre. Consequently, I haven't ruled out the possibility of demonic possesion, but I figured if anyone can help solve this riddle, it's all you lovely people.
    As for my current settings, I have no desktops/spaces setup (aside from the one), and have turned off all associated features for Mission Control in the System Preferences – more out of an attempt to simplify in the hopes that it would help than out of any dislike for the features. The iMac itself is a 20-inch, early 2008 with 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo and 4 GB SDRAM.
    Really don't know where else to turn. I've got my finger crossed that the problem will fade into memory once Mountain Lion is released, but that leaves me high and dry until then (which ***** the big one). Any help would result in my undying gratitude! Heck, help me solve this and I'll mail you a beer!

    That sounds like somehow the Single Application Mode has been turned on.  I don't know the Terminal command to turn it off, but the free 3rd-party application TinkerTool has it. 
    For some reason, it's on the Dock page:
    If it's checked, remove it. 
    If it's not checked, check it, Relaunch, then remove the check.

  • Expose won't display all applications

    Hello,
    Expose on my 2.3 GHz i5 Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) will not open all windows.  When I hit F3 or perform the Expose gesture on my trackpad, only minimized applications appear.  I can cycle through active applications by clicking on the icons in the Dock or command+tab-ing while Expose is open, but I can't show them all at once.  Spaces is disabled. Any help is appreciated!
    Best,
    -Nathan

    Okay so I've checked that.  I can start expose, but my active applications are somehow hidden.
    Above is a screen capture with expose on.  I'm sure that I'm just missing some setting that hides the active windows.  Curiously enough, it does show applications that have been minimized, as shown below:
    Notice I have many active applications, yet it only shows ones that are minimized.  As stated in the original post, I can cycle though the applications as well; I just can't show them all on this macbook, like I can on any other copy of OS x.

  • On the second screen disappear all application windows

    Im running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on MacBook Pro mid 2012.
    Description of the problem.
    I connect a second screen to the mini display port of my macbook and extends the desktop to it.
    Then I send the web browser on the second screen. On the first screen I run an application that goes to full screen.
    On the second screen all windows disappears and become gray background.
    If on the first screen in the application exit full screen mode, on the second screen appears again desktop and applications running there.
    How i can fix it, without upgrading to OS X Maverics?

    "Full Screen" is a concept dragged over from IOS, the land of tiny screens. If you have a reasonable-sized screen or multiple screens, it is useless to you. Do not use it!

  • After closing all IE5 windows, Java Plug-in 1.4 still works!! HELP!!

    Hello all.
    After installing j2re1.4 I've got the following problem:
    when I run some applet (which uses jdk 1.2 or higher) in my IE5 browser, the plug-in 1.4 starts. After I close ALL my browser windows, the plug-in sign doesn't disappear from my tray bar (in the right bottom corner)!!! The plug-in continues to work! I use Win 98 and when I had jdk1.3b3 installed (with plug-in 1.3b3 installed) everything was OK!!!
    Could you please help me? It's very urgent, I don't know what to do!!
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Anatoly.

    Hello,
    I have a user who experienced that same thing with IE6.0.2600 and Java Plug-In 1.3.1_03. On top of that, the applet behaved extremely irregularly although no exception were ever thrown.
    Our Tech Services team put her back on IE 5.5, and everything worked okay. Then, they tried to reinstall IE6 (and all patches). While re-installing IE6, her machine crashed hard (Windows 98 4.10.1998). After the crash, her PC was unrecoverable, and was reformatted.
    So.....you got me! Seems like either IE6 or Windows98 or both became corrupted beyond repair somehow.
    Hope this helps,
