Swipe between full screen apps in Powerpoint - skipping screens

Anytime I have multiple PowerPoint presentations in full screen mode, when I swipe from other apps to one of the presentations, it automatically skips a screen. For example, I have two presentations open, each in full screen mode side by side.  When I swipe from my browser (in full screen mode) to the presentation, it skips the first presentation and slides to the next.  And it doesn't matter which direction I swipe from.  The first presentation is always skipped and I have to swipe back to get to it.
Is there a fix for this? Is it a simple setting?  small problem, but annoying.
Thanks

Hi there!
I am searching this forum to find somebody that has noticed this weird behaviour. The closest I came so far is your post.
So let me explain a little easier... The problem I think you mean is:
When switching bewtween applications using CMD+TAB it does switch to the space an app is open BUT the app switched to is behind all the other windows on that space. Is that correct?
This problem is also bugging me alot because I am used to to switch fastly between apps and this just renders the whole process useless. The best workaround I found so far is to stop using spaces (or Mission Control) and keep all the apps in one space to prevent this from happening.
I really hope Apple aknowledges this bug very soon because this LION deal is a complete mess. Tons of bugs. No fixes.

    It's a Magic Mouse question. I have set this up in Preferences by ticking Swipe between pages with one finger and also Swipe between full-screen apps with two fingers,  however when I try to do the latter, the 2 finger swipe will take me from the app that I am on to the dashboard only and not to my other open apps.
    I also find that Smart zoom only works with some apps, for instance not with Word docs or email.
    How can I correct this please?

    Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

  • HT5019 When I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows

    , can it just change the full screen app of the screen with the cursor?
    when I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows to a full screen app window with no applications (like a grey linen screen)
    and I can't use that one properly yet I still want to use the full screen app without disturbing the other screen. (the left screen is grey)

    Upgrade to 10.9, Done.

  • Magic Mouse does not swipe between full screens.

    Even tho prefrences is checked that one finger swipes between pages and two finger swipe between full screen apps, I am unable to do so.  It only goes between say mail, dashboard and one chrome or say I photo.  What could I be doing wrong?

    I went to Mission Control and set up more desktops, Thanks Captfred.  I'm getting the hang of it, but occ. it gets stuck, ie:  I-Cal goes from page to page.  Any suggestions?  Thanks again Captfred.

  • Magic Trackpad is not letting me swipe between full screen apps.

    I am pretty sure it was doing it before but now it has stopped. I can do everything else but I'm just not able to swipe between apps.
    Thanks

    The little scroll ball is probably dirty because it is a random problem. Turn it upside down on a clean fabric surface, or your mouse pad, and rub it all around till the dirt is cleaned out. My scroll quit working in one direction and I searched and searched the community here till I found this relatively easy answer to my problem.
    I used my denim jeans and every thing is working a ok now.
    Hope this helps ...

  • "Swipe between pages" crashes apps on Mavericks

    I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) and a Magic Mouse.
    After installing Mavericks (updating) I've noticed that many apps crashes when I swipe with one finger back or forward, and doesn't respond to anything until you quit and restart the app.
    I've tested this issue with Safari and the App Store, and both apps crashes when you swipe.
    In Google Chrome, instead of crashing the entire app, the scroll stop working (but still works in select list).
    Also, I don't know if Apple remove this, but in Calendar app you can't swipe with one finger to navigate through sections. Swipe just do nothing.
    I've resetted the NVRAM and the issue stills there. At the beginning it look likes it works, but a few minutes after, I opened the App Store and crashed again. Also, sometimes I can swipe in the App Store without crashing, but after doing that 4 o 5 times, it crashes inevitably.
    Also, I'm using MagicPrefs, but I haven' setted any function to swipe actions.

    Thanks to a suggestion in another thread, I came up with a quick workaround.  Set a corner of your screen to "Put Display to Sleep" in Hot Corners (System Preferences/Mission Control).  So I simply put the cursor there for a second, then the screen goes black.  I then move the cursor and...POW!  Swiping works again.  Whole "process" takes 2 seconds.
    It's only temporary, so Apple still needs to fix this.  Bug report filed and closed as a duplicate of bug #14969656.

  • 3-finger swipe between apps

    Hello,
    I've downloaded Yosemite and can no longer 3-finger swipe between - for example - Word and Safari. I can swipe to the control panel, shifting the page away to the right, but not to access another open app by swiping away to the left. I have 3-finger swipe between full screen apps operational on my track pad and something tells me the problem is how apps are now opening - behind and infant of each other rather than beside, as before. Any ideas? Thanks

    Hello Slupasko,
    Yosemite has changed it in your settings. You need to use 4 fingers to swipe between FULL SCREEN apps. The 3 finger swipe is now to move a screen or a picture or something else. Of course you can change that in the settings of the trackpad.
    Good luck

  • Magic mouse swipe between pages not working "only" in finders and preferences

    Hi community,
    I'm a new comer in this mac world like I just bought it less than a month ago and I'm already having trouble with it.
    My apple magic mouse cannot swipe between pages "only" in finder and preferences. I mean it works perfectly fine with Safari and stuff but when it comes to finder, I cannot move between folders by swiping with one finger. Ironically, it works fine if I change it to two finger swipe option by sacrificing 'Swipe between full-screen app' feature as it uses two fingers. Apple customer support that I talked to could not figure it out and I'm hoping to find answers here. I mean it's really awkward as it works with two fingers but not with one finger. Plus, one finger swipe works fine in Safari and other apps.
    I did what I can - restarting, -switch on and off the mouse, - PRAM reset, - trying in serfdom, -remove and pair up again the mouse, -run repair permission in disk utility.
    I use Mac Mini late 2014 with Yosemite 10.10.1 and this just happened all of sudden.
    Please help!!

    Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

  • Track Pad Stopped Working: Swipes between FullScreen, Desktop and Dashboard, Help Please?

    So I gotta do an assignment and I'm using about 2 or more apps at the same time on fullscreen, but I can't swipe between the two apps with my trackpad. I checked the system preferences and the 'swipe with 3 fingers between full-screen apps' has been ticked, but it won't work. Only the keyboard works, but it's hard to remember controls to switch between desktops, dashboard and full-screened apps.
    Is there something wrong with what I've ticked? Or is it the track pad itself.
    Please Help

    Have you tried restarting your mac?

  • Is there a hotkey to go between full-screen apps?

    I have multiple full-screen apps.  Is there a way to switch between them via the keyboard?  In the old day, I could assign Spaces desktop to a hotkey, and jump to it.  That's preserved for multiple desktops in Lion OS X, but it doesn't seem to work on full-screen apps.
    The two finger magic mouse scroll thing is a little awkward for me.
    Conrad

    On the trackpad it is a four finger swipe <-->
    Maybe in your system preferences for your magic mouse.

  • Mac, second monitor changes to canvas background when I switch between full screen apps on my mac display?

    When I plug in my monitor using a thunderbolt to hdmi cable I would like to use my moitor as a second display, which i can do, but then when i switch between full screen apps on my mac it changes what i have on my monitor to a canvas background. Is there a way to fix the display on my monitor so that it will always be accesable?

    Apple:
    This is how it "Should" work.
    Each display should be treated as it own desktop.  If you swipe on a desktop it should swipe through the hidden screens/displays.   If your a user with multi displays connected to your Mac, you could have "Full Screen" Apps, Dashboard, Mission Control, and etc available to swipe on each of your connected displays.
    Display 1...swipe, swipe... mouse over to Display 2...   swipe swipe swipe...  oh.. Display 3, swipe!  All set for work or play!
    This would be a well received "Feature" for the Worlds Most Advanced Operating System.
    Cheers
    I have seen apps (like MPlayerX and VLC) have their own "built in" workaround for the full-screen problems on multi-displays.

  • How should I swipe in iPhoto, when two fingers swipe is for swiping full screen apps? thanks

    I dont know how to swipe phoots in iPhoto using Lion, two fingers swipe swipes full screen apps,,,thanks

    Did you mean three fingers? (the default in Lion).
    Have you tried changing Lion to use a four fingered swipe for spaces (System Preferences > Trackpad > Guestures)? If you do that, maybe iPhoto will be able to use the three fingered gesture (although I only have an old version of iPhoto and it doesn't work in that).
    Sorry if that doesn't help. How about the cursor keys?

  • Is there a way to set up multiple displays to show different DeskTops and/or multiple Full-Screen apps independently?

    Hello Apple users/ develpers.....
    I have been thinking about this long and hard and it seems like there should be some way to display separate Full-Screen Apps and/or mulitple Desktops.
    This would be a key feature that would make Lion surprisingly more efficient than any of its predicessors.  However, I have gone into System Preferences>Displays and could find no way to page through and get different desktops to display.  I always could extend the desktop, but why do that when I can simply use multiple Desktops and assign them to specific displays.
    (For example While on the MacBook Pro I could be doing a project in FinalCut while External Display 1 could be displaying iTunes and Display number 2 could be displaying MS Word.  And between each I can switch between each app without changing the monitor display.)
    I could also seeing this being extremely helpful in DJ and/or PowerPoint presentations.  In a PowerPoint presentation I could use the projector/display to show the individual Slides, while on the computer/laptop I could control other materials.
    Or in a DJ situation, I could be controlling iTunes from the computer, displaying a set of animations that I created in Flash/ToonBoom or another animation program, while still being able to work off of an independent display to do my homework or major project.
    The whole purpose of multiple displays would be to have multiple access to each of those.  And so if there's another APP I need to control them, or if there is a setup command I don't know about, I'd like to know right away.
    Also, if Apple hasn't really implimented this (and their OS is designed to have these features) then I guess this'd be my first recomendation to them as something that they need to fix.  This alone could be the key to crippling PC.  Don't let Windows 8 have a back door!

    Not available, why not suggest it here.

  • I've given up on Full Screen Apps

    At first I was very annoyed at the built-in rigidity of full screen apps. We called it a bug (it's not- no one at Apple cared to give the apps the flexibility they should have) and I hoped for a fix, but with so many desktops available and the full screen mode available anyway (you know, the green button), I realized that Full Screen Apps weren't really giving me anything worth the trouble and often were making work more cumbersome. The question is, what do Full Screen really offer anyway? They seem redundant. The only app I still run full screen is Safari- you need every bit of space you can get with a browser.
    Besides, what advantage were Full Screen apps supposed to give us anyway? Four finger swipe navigation? You can do that anyway between desktops. As far as app switching is concerned, I find Cmmd-Tab the most convenient method by far and so my dock is hardly used and always hidden anyway. I find too that I like to see the menu bar when working. I don't find the elegant quotient damaged.
    But I take back what I say about bugs- Preview has huge bugs in Full Screen mode and annoying ones in regular mode. I have no idea why Cupertino hasn't addressed these glaring ugly's. Speaking of butt-ugly, try Photo Booth in Full Sreen mode. It seems a Cupertino high school came to Apple for a field trip one day and recolored Photo Booth and iCal as well. Notice how Word jumped in the pleather wood action- jeez, can't they even get wood grain right? Even I can do a decent and realistic pine, oak, and teak.
    In respone to the dumbing down and corkscewing up of Mac OS I've threatened to switch to Ubutntu a bunch of times but apparently Apple is calling my bluff as a loyal user since they haven't made any public announcements or written to me personally (these are attempts at jokes I'm afraid, I'm planning on buying a Macbook Pro as I write this).
    I like eye candy too but to Hector with that Photon-blasted iOS. When did Apple become the computer trendy gadgetier for the everybody and his brother and dog instead the beloved champion for the rest of us wannabe geeks? Sigh, nostalgia.

    I've come to think that if you know what html is and have ever needed to use ftp, then iWeb will seem limiting and downright constraining.
    On the other hand, I can truly say that were it not for iWeb, I wouldn't be blogging now. I can edit html by hand and have spent some time in .css, but when I'm doing something just for the heck of it (to make myself, and hopefully the readers, smile), I want the "effort" part of the equation to be as low as possible.
    Like Keynote before it, there's something about iWeb that makes me want to use it. And creating with it is fun mainly because, while the results may not be perfect, the only thinking that goes into the creation is that of creating. And, since the Domain file is where all your data is held, an update to iWeb means that the next time you publish, your site automatically takes on whatever optimizations the update holds, again without having to tinker with the coding side of site creation.
