Mavericks hot corners expose

Is there a way even with a third party app to bring back hot corners in mavericks?
why apple remove such a useful function i do not understand...

Hot Corners can be found in System Preferences > Dasktop & Screensavers > Screensavers > bottom right. I have Mission Control set for top left which gives me Exposé.
Cheers

  • Screen Sharing and Hot Corners/expose bug?

    I tried searching but I came up with nothing. I have an iMac and a Macbook. On the iMac I have hot corners set up to use expose. On the bottom left I have it show the desktop and on the bottom right I have it show all windows. Now when I use my macbook to screenshare with my iMac and try to drag a file on the iMac, it activates one of the hot corners even though my mouse cursor is no where near either of the corners. If I deactivate the hot corners, I can drag just fine but I don't want to have to do that every time I use screen sharing. So this is making screen sharing pretty useless. Anyone else have this problem? I just submitted a bug report too.

    I have the same problem. Very annoying.

  • Hot Corners [Expose/Mission Control]

    I rememer on my old Macbook (White 2008) model
    With "Expose" I could set up multiple hot corners
    Top Left
    Top Right
    Middle Left
    Middle Right
    Bottom Left
    Bottom Right
    How do I do this now on my Macbook Pro (running OSX 10.8) ?
    I need myself 5 hotspots to make my productivity better.
    I currently have 4

    This sounds weird but if you are using a non-apple wireless mouse & dongle, try unplugging then see if hot corners work with the built-in touchpad.

  • Hot Corners & Expose vs Windows in Fusion

    Hi, I'm a new OS X user (I've had my MBP for a year but finally stopped using bootcamp)
    Anyway, I'm starting to like OS X a lot now that I've figured out many of its features (thanks to these forums, mostly).
    MY QUESTION:
    However, I still need to use windows once in a while and have installed fusion. The problem is the hot corners from Expose that I like so much are problematic when running windows full screen in fusion (i'm used to going to a corner to press the close button or the start button, etc.)
    Is there a way to quickly toggle Expose on/off or, even better, have Expose automatically disabled while I'm using certain programs like Fusion?
    Thanks for your help.

    There's no way to do exactly what you're looking for, but you can do this, which will basically work for you:
    When choosing hot corners, hold down a modifier key (like option, control, shift, or ⌘, or some combination of those, as you see fit).
    Now you'll have to hold down the button/combination of buttons, in addition to moving the mouse into the corner, for hot corners to activate. (You have to press the button before going into the corner.)
    Good luck!

  • Mavericks hot corners "open all windows"

    I've recent upgraded to a newish iMac and Mavericks.  One of the things I use all the time in my work is the hot corner that reveals all open windows and items, so I can quickly swap programs and go to the exact piece of work I need to work on next.
    I'm very surprised to find this option missing on Mavericks??  I can reveal each window of the program I'd working in or each open program, but not the combined "all windows' option.
    Anyone got a work round?

    Found it......... but now have to do it on the keyboard.
    Go into system preferences and then mission control, deselect "Group windows by application".  Close System Preferences.  To show all windows simply hit F9.

  • Accessing Hot Corners using AppleScript in Mavericks

    Hello,
    I'm trying to update a previous utility that could be used to disable/turn off hot corners using an applescript (the script was taken from https://gist.github.com/klynch/827581 and is pasted below). Trying to update it for Mavericks, I saw that the 'top left screen corner' can no longer be used to refer to hot corners. Google has uncovered a 'stack exchange' question that seems to purport that it is not possible anymore (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/106775/how-to-fast-set-hot-corners-in-m avericks). Is that true?
    If that is indeed true, is there a work-around to my work-around? Specifically, is there a way to easily disable hot corners for when I go into a full screen application or anything like that? I'm thinking something like Caffeine, but for hot corners and not for power saving options. Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance!
    Disable Hot Corner:
    tell application "System Events"
    activate
    if UI elements enabled then
    tell expose preferences
    set properties of the top left screen corner to {activity:none, modifiers:{}}
    set properties of the top right screen corner to {activity:none, modifiers:{}}
    set properties of the bottom left screen corner to {activity:none, modifiers:{}}
    set properties of the bottom right screen corner to {activity:none, modifiers:{}}
    end tell
    else
    tell application "System Preferences"
    activate
    set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
    display dialog "UI element scripting is not enabled. Check \"Enable access for assistive devices\""
    end tell
    end if
    end tell
    tell application "System Preferences" to quit

    However, if you wish to be able to toggle between to states of the hot corners (enabled/disabled), the following script would be more appropriate:
    property theSavedValues : {"Mission Control", "Desktop", "Dashboard", "Launchpad"} -- for example
    tell application "System Preferences"
        activate
        set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.expose"
        tell application "System Events"
            tell window "Mission Control" of process "System Preferences"
                click button "Hot Corners…"
                tell sheet 1
                    tell group 1
                        set theCurrentValues to value of pop up buttons
                        if theCurrentValues is {"-", "-", "-", "-"} then
                            repeat with i from 1 to 4
                                set thisValue to item i of theSavedValues
                                tell pop up button i
                                    click
                                    click menu item thisValue of menu 1
                                end tell
                            end repeat
                        else
                            copy theCurrentValues to theSavedValues
                            repeat with i from 1 to 4
                                tell pop up button i
                                    click
                                    click last menu item of menu 1
                                end tell
                            end repeat
                        end if
                    end tell
                    click button "OK"
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
        quit
    end tell

  • Expose, hot corners and an MBP

    Curious as to whether this is systemic or specific to my setup -
    I use hot corners for Expose and Dashboard, top left and lower left, respectively.
    On all my other Macs, cursor in the top left deploys or hides Expose, on my MBP it only deploys; Dashboard opens and closes like it's supposed to.
    Any ideas??
    Z

    Early yet, but it looks like this is related to the last system update.
    I started from my backup drive (10.4.6) and Expose worked properly. I ran a slew of updates to get it current and Expose still works fine; version of 10.4.7 is 8J2135a. Restarted on main drive and checked - 8J2135. I have run and re-run the combo updater and still have 8J2135 on my main drive. If I can get 8J2135a to load, I expect Expose to work again properly.

  • Expose Hot Corners Broken

    My Expose stopped working today, and itz annoying, as I use it a lot to see my other windows and spaces. Tried the killall Dock in terminal, and the dock did reboot, but, did not help Expose, same issue. I fully reninstalled my OS 10.5 last week, have no add on screen savers or utilities or anti virus. How can I trash the expose plist, can not find in the prefs folder?? Or if you have a better idea on how to get the hot corners to work again, let me know. thanks.

    Thanks for the advise everyone. Here is the result and solution after sitting at the Genius bar; and I have to say, I know better, I should have done this before hauling my iMac 15 miles to the Genius bar.
    The issue come down to a perif device taking up my processor time, preventing the instant items from working, like Expose, the dock magnification and dock icon names, popups in Netflix; all were suspended processes while the perif device held up both of my processors.
    I have three perifs, a Cannon printer-installed a month ago, a fantom 500gb hard drive used with time machine and installed 5 months ago, and a logitech wireless mouse, all through a USB hub. This issue started about a month ago, can you guess which one is the problem? So, I love my Cannon, it is my second one, I came home, unplugged the USB cable to it, rebooted, and the issue has stopped. The genius bar said they had heard of one different printer causing such an issue, and he explained the bundles and all to me so that I would understand, but, this is NOT a usual event. I noticed yesterday, there is an update to my Cannon print driver bundle, i installed it, but, have not dared to plug the USB cable back in. I will only when I need to print. Like I said, I know better, and should have tested my perifs long before going to the apple store, I will blame my failure on old age, ;

  • 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.

  • Can I use Hot Corners to make the display sleep immediately?

    I have Hot Corners set up so that the screen-saver kicks in as soon as I move the mouse to the top-right corner. However, I'd really like to be able to make the display sleep immediately, rather than show the screen-saver first... can I do that? There doesn't seem to be a Hot Corners option for "Display sleep".

    Hi Garth
    That can be set using expose.
    Open up preferences /dashboard & expose.
    Click on one of the buttons to set your option to start screen saver by choosing the corner you wish to use.

  • Dock hiding and hot corners no longer work

    I am not sure exactly when it began, but for the past 2-4 weeks, my hot corners and dock hiding have been very erratic. At seemingly random times, all the sudden my hot corners stop being active, so when I move my pointer to the corner, the designated task whether it be dashboard, Expose, screen saver, etc. as selected in preferences no longer activates. Dock hiding stops working as well. The dock hides, but when I move my cursor over where the dock is parked it doesn't appear, it stays hidden. I can click command alt d and the dock will appear or disappear, but will not appear by just moving the cursor to the side of the screen where the dock is parked. I have not added any new software lately other than Apple OS 10.6.4 and whatever Safari, iTunes etc updates that keep coming at along at pretty regular intervals. Interestingly I have an iMac at work and at home, and they both are misbehaving in the same way. They are similarly populated with software, although not exactly. When I update one, I update the other. Both started misbehaving at about the same time.
    I have rebooted- sometimes works, sometimes not. I have trashed the dock and finder plist- works for awhile, but problem always returns. I have reset the PRAM- works for awhile, but problem always returns.
    Any thoughts. I like being able to hide the dock to gain that extra bit of screen space, although the command alt d, is an adequate if not ideal work around. But I really like the hot corners, and I do not know of a work around for that problem.

    The university requires all computers to have anti-virus software and recently switched to Sophos from Symantec, in July I believe. That was a new software install. Since it just works in the background and I never actually access it, I had forgotten about that. I hope that is not the problem, as I am required to have antivirus software.
    And no I have not created a new user to log in. It is erratic enough that I don't know how long would have to be on to see if the problem recreated itself. Sometimes it seems like just minutes after I start the computer up and sometimes hours. Right now it is still working since starting this morning.

  • Hot corners, sleep option

    ive had my mac for a few years and and some times look at the available apple downloads page and cant seem to find anything to extend the options on expose hot corners, when i drag the mouse to the bottom left corner id like the mac to sleep (theres an option for the screen to sleep) has anyone found a program that can help with this
    (wasent sure where to post this, no expose forum?)

    That is very easy to do with an AppleScript and a little app called CornerClick.
    Download and install CornerClick. It is a preference pane and can be installed for one user in ~/Library/PreferencePanes, or made available for all users by putting it in Mac HD/Library/PreferencePanes. Just double click CornerClick after you have downloaded it and it will install itself where you wish by answering the onscreen users question. Be sure to go to Sys Prefs/CornerClick/Settings and enable CornerClick.
    Next create this tiny AppleScript with AppleScript Editor. You will find the Editor in Apps/Utilities. Cut & paste the following into the Editor and then save it as a Script. You can save it in Mac HD/Library/Scripts or in ~/Library/Scripts. I named it Sleep.
    tell application "System Events" to sleep
    After you have saved the Script go to Sys Prefs/CornerClick/Actions. Select the corner that you wish to use. Click + to create a new action for that corner. Select the trigger for the action from the dropdown menu below and any modifier key you wish to use. Choose Run AppleScript from the dropdown menu as the action to perform and then browse to the location where you have stored your script by pressing the Choose button. Close Sys Prefs because now you are finished and your new sleep action should be available by executing the trigger in the corner that you chose.

  • We now have "hot corners" .....

    hi all, i was showing off all the fancy stuff my LION can do, i was trying to show the chap how easy it was to re-define what happens when the mouse pointer goes to the corners of the screeen, i think it was called Expose ........
    Of course looking for the relevant "expose" menu in "system preferences" I couldnt find it  ggrrrrr, i looked a bit stupid i can tell you !!!!!.
    A few days later i find that Expose is now called Hot Corners, of course my question is quite simple, where should i have looked, to find out it had been renamed BEFORE i started showing LION off, needless to say the fella was not impressed with me !, but then he was/is such a Windose fan that he probably wasnt dammed well intersted anyway,  LOL
    tim

    Tim,
    In the System Preference search box you could type active screen corners and it would highlight the appropriate preference.  Hot corners works too.
