Activating Mission Control causes freezes on MBP (Lion 10.7.3)
I've now experienced this issue three times.
It seems that activating Mission Control causes my MBP running Lion 10.7.3 to freeze, requiring a forced power-off and reboot.
MacBook Pro is a "Core i7" 2.8 15" Mid-2010 model (6,2)
Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or anything similar?
I'll try and paste the crash report here next time it happens...
So, it happened again today. Here's the crash report..

Macbook Pro Freezes After Activating Mission Control
I am updated currently to 10.7.4, and I am having a problem that could not be duplicated after a 4 day stay at my local Apple store. Basically the computer freezes up and becomes unresponsive. The last two times it has happened, I noticed (Possibly a time or two before) it was right as I was activating Mission Control. I use Mission Control as a hot corner and right as the mouse hits the corner to activate it, the computer screen shuts off and I have to do a hard reset holding the power button down to get it back. If the keyboard was lit up at the time the computer goes down it stays lit up, and the fans continue to run, but I cannot get it to do anything. I thought maybe the screen was the only thing off, but the volume buttons do no make the sound associated with raising and lowering the volume. I shut the lid and open it, but the keyboard stays lit up even when it is down. The Macbook is just off in la la land.
I should also add that I upgraded the RAM to 8g in April and I had absolutely no problems before. The RAM tested out fine according to Apple even after a deep lengthy scan. I bought the RAM from Crucial and I am sure it is the correct RAM for my computer. One would think even Apple should have told me if it was not the correct RAM, or the computer just plain would not work. So I am at a loss as to what the problem is.
As a last thing, both of most recent times this happened, the computer had not just been woke up, but maybe 5-10 minutes after being brought out of a lengthy sleep maybe 3-4 hours or so. Or it seemed like this was the case.
Thanks in advance....Hi Muddy Angel,
i'm just wondering if you managed to get a solution to this problem.
i'm expiriencing the same problem for the past one year and can't seem to find the problem.
the screen goes black usually when the mission control is in use, it happen to me when using hot corners, trackpad gesture or even the function key (F9), on either the macbook screen or external display.
the problem seem to be connected somehow to the finder as it some rare times occur even when shifting windows between spaces.
i tried several forumes and didn't find the solution.
i reinstalled OS 3-4 times and still no solution, i recently upgraded to the latest OSX Lion hoping that this might fix the problem but the problem still exists....aaarrrrgggggggg
this is extremely extremely extremely frustrating, as sometime in the middle of a meeting or presentation the macbook goes black and need 5-8 minutes to restart it with all the other apps.
if you did find an answer P L E A S E let me know,
Thanks in advance. -
Mission Control causing Lion to crash.
Hi all,
hopefully someone can help me out.
I installed Lion soon after it was released on my work computer (I know, I know) anyway, every time I launched Mission Control it would flash a grey screen and log out. I even lost some work - really annoying.
So I backed everything up and did a clean install, thinking that the iteration of Lion I had installed over top of Snow Leopard was maybe corrupt somehow. I began to reinstall my most critical apps and a few system tweaks that I use, and I've noticed that using Mission Control now is still causing all kinds of problems. I guess I can just deactivate it, but it's hella annoying and I'd really like to get to the bottom of the cause. I've done some troubleshooting and removed some things but have not been able to isolate the problem. I've looked through the console, but not being super fluent in consolese have not located the clear culprit.
I have a feeling it's a graphics card issue, but I'm not sure, and if it is, I have no clue how to fix it.
Below is the console log from the time Mission Control is activated to the crash. Hopefully someone out there can decipher this and give me some insight as to what is the issue. Thanks!!!
(By the way, I'm running a 24-inch, Late 2006 iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128 MB, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.)

it looks like the GPU is kinda screwed up. I found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2268642?start=0&tstart=0 that discusses replacing the graphics card. Looks like this http://www.macpalace.com/mac-parts/p/661-4180-card-video-nvidia-geforce-7600-gt- 256-mb-vram/ is about the best price ($229)I can find with a quick search, so it's either:
a) leave it as is and not use mission control and wait till I can afford to upgrade to a new rig
b) spend $250 or so with shipping and do the replacement myself, and hope that fixes the problem
Hmmm. -
Does anyone a problem with lagging mission control?
Mission control (expose) on my MBP (8GB RAM) is lagging. Animations of transition between desktop and mission control mode is't continous. First I see animation of desktop (resizing and going to mission control view ), after that windows of appliactions are rearranged (resized and set to mission control view) without animation. Animation from Mission control mode to desktop lagging too
After instalation everything works fine. I noticed this error yesterday.I'm having this exact issue. Late 2007 Santa Rosa MacBook Pro.
I made a video to show what's going on (the recording slightly exagerates how bad it truly is):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYxcmsvMKlY
The video was made on a 10.6 to 10.7 upgrade install.
I went in and did a complete wipe + install from a USB drive, and the issue was fixed for about a week before it came back. Is there possibly a .plist file or something we can try deleting to narrow down the issue? -
How to remove google chrome in my mission control space
Thanks for your time. anyone else having this problem? the other day I was doing a keyboard shortcut and i accidentally activated mission control.
a new google chrome window opened full screen on my main monitor and my other two monitors went to the blank mission control background.
i was able to get out of it by hitting f9 and choosing my correct desktop. but now EVERY time i click on the google chrome icon in my dock the same thing
happens, the stupid google chrome full page window comes up. it's showing up at the top of mission control and i can't get an X to appear on it to delete. if i create another desktop i can delete that one, but not the google chrome one. it goes away if i quit chrome, but comes back when i reopen it.
i'm sure this is just a setting, but i can't for the life of me find out what it is. thanks again.Switch to Chrome. Now do one of the following:
Move the mouse pointer to the upper right corner of the screen. When the menu bar slides down, click on the blue double arrow icon.
Move the pointer to the top of the screen. When the menu bar slides down, click View > Exit Full Screen.
Type Command-Control-F. -

Additional problem is there a lot weird pixel (dot or spot) on my picture when i preview the picture. I had try reset SMC and PRAM, but the probelm still exist.
Plese help...

Lion freezes after selecting dashboard in mission control.
After selecting Dashboard in Mission Control the Dashboard freezes. Have to do a hard shut down to exit.
Northview5 wrote:
I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and can't get desktop spaces to work correctly. When I activate Mission Control I can see the current space's open applications, but the small desktops along the top aren't there. Neither will the little plus sign show up to make more desktops. However, if I make the dashboard a space, I can see the desktops in that space ONLY. Also, if I am in another space and activate Mission Control – if I click where I expect the "Space 4 desktop" to be (although I can't see the image) I will be moved to the 4th space. I can swipe left and right to navigate through spaces, but without those little images at the top Mission Control is VERY awkward to use.
I have restarted, checked and unchecked options in the Mission Control settings. I've tried using option to activate the plus sign. I've updated to the latest release of the software. None of these have worked. I hope someone can help me.
Have a read here first.

How do I add spaces in mission control in mountain lion?
I use an external monitor on the right side of my mbp, the external monitor (when in use) is my main screen. I want my (auto retracting) dock on the right side of my right screen (the external one). The top right corner is my hot corner for mission control.
With this setup, when I move my mouse to the right top corner I'll enter mission control, but somehow the "add a new space pop-up button" will not show up. I haven't tried this setup in Lion so I do not know if this is a bug for ML. I really like my dock on the right side of the screen, left is no option and I'm sick of having it at the bottom, but I do want to be able to add spaces, any thoughts how to do this?multiple ways,
go to mission control and:
hold option, a half of a desktop with a plus will appear, click it.
drag an application's window next to the spaces there are already.
put an app in fullsreen mode.
move mouse over the top left side of the screen, and the desktop with the plus sign will appear to add a new space. -
Why is Mission control showing me icons instead of smaller representations of active apps?
Why is Mission Control looking like this? If I put away Mission Control and reopen it things change a little, the tiny white window in the middle dissapears. I've updated, restarted etc etc.. Any ideas?

I have never seen this before. which MBP are you on???
This could be an issue with a widget in you dashboard or a plugin in safari.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3251015?start=0&tstart=0
this link (the poor chum no one replied to him) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3251015?start=0&tstart=0 would suggest a safari plugin you may have on. turn off all your extensions in safari>preferences>extensions for a second and restart or just close safari and reopen (restart if this doesn't do anything)
here's a wild idea, and not sure if it'll do anything, have you tried to relaunch finder? hold option and then right click the finder icon and hit relaunch.
have you tried reseting safari?
either way send this to apple.

Hello All..Just installed LION On my 13' MBP...I have a small problem with the mission control...Previously, i have a hot corner set up which shows all the open windows at one time ( also shows the minimized ones)..but now, i can only see the the ones which are open....for example if i have chrome browser minimized , it is not showing....kind of very annoying....any one please help...Thanks
App Expose is fine if you knew the window you were looking for was minimized, instead of hidden behind another window.
Also you need to be in that app to bring up its minimised windows - which is irritating if you are using more than one app to manipulate files.

Mountain Lion and Mission Control
I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Since then Mission control freezes on a daily basis and will only reset by doing a computer restart. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
This happens to me too - I think the problem is somehow related to the screen saver and system sleep. There's an easy remedy:
Go to your System Preferences --> Desktop and Screen Saver. Click on the "Screen Saver" section, and click "Hot Corners". Set one of your hot corners to "Start Screen Saver".
Next time Mission Control fails, just point your mouse to the "Start Screen Saver" hot corner, and wait for the screen saver to start up. When you start working again, Mission Control will be back to normal.
It doesn't fix the problem, but it's whole lot faster than restarting or logging out each time it happens. -
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. -
So I am a web/software developer and I am having major beef with OSX Lion's Mission Control. While I think Mission Control and Application Windows are interesting additions to the multi-tasking nature and scheme of the OS, removing the older Expose Spaces and All Windows is a huge mistake. Couldn't Apple have just left all of the old stuff in? Then the system would be complete. As pretty as Mission Control and Application Windows is, the older Snow Leopard Spaces and Expose moved much faster and tamed all of my apps in a very efficient way.
Here is why Mission Control is not as fast as Spaces and Expose:....
1. With Spaces all of the desktops and their connected monitors were consolidated to one monitor in which you can easily see everything going on from a birds eye view. You cloud easily drag open windows between them freely and even swap spaces. This was huge because you could see everything. You could even activate All Windows over Spaces and see everything..Mission Control will group everything but you can't move programs across desktops unless it's the main desktop to the little desktop. Nor can you move windows across monitors. This is frustrating. Also the desktop are split to their respective monitor so I no longer have a birds-eye key-map access.
2. All Windows is so necessary and slick. Mission Control or Application Windows can't quite keep up. If I have a cluttered desktop and hit all windows, I can get any window at any time no matter how buried it is. Application Windows is useful but only applies to the focused application…but what if it's buried? I have to activate mission control first, select one of the windows from the program group, then activate Application Windows to get to that window. Also if there are many windows open for an application, Mission Control cannot replace All Windows because they stack and you can't quite tell which of the windows you want is accessible in that stack.
The bottom line is, put both of them together! Keep the old functionality as an option, because truth be told, the old way of doing things is still considerably faster under heavy work loads. I would use the Snow Leopard expose features more often. There is still room for Application Windows and Mission Control, but even after re-training myself I feel I'm moving at 70% of the multitasking speed that I used to move at before using Snow Leopard Expose. I mean this legitimately, I develop using multiple OS's along with video chat and instead of being a leap forward, Lion is a step backward and that just isn't like apple, everything Apple has done has been leaps and bounds forward. Let's leap forward and not only have all the sweet new features that Lion offers, but combine with the productive features that really moved and maybe just integrate into Lion's style. Bottle that and you have something sweeter than Yoohoo.I completely agree with airbnboy. I used to be able to quick organised different windows within the same app to different spaces (now "desktops" for no apparent reason). This worked very smoothly in expose/spaces. I'd use one gesture to get to spaces, then another for expose, and I'd have all my windows in all spaces visible.
Now, I can't even see all of my windows in specific to one desktop! The best I can do is double scroll to see *some parts* of the windows on a desktop. So now, selecting a window for a specifc app is huge pain.
Worse than this, on moving windows from a desktop to another in, Mission Control will change the ordering of the stacks (per app, not the windows in the stacks). Umm, what is the possible benefit there?
So, now there is no use of spatial memory - e.g. Window X for App Y was in the top left of all my windows in the top left space, and I want to move it now. It's no longer possible to see all app windows in a specific "desktop", and much more effort is required to move windows around.
Great, well done Apple. Can we please, please have Expose and Spaces back as an option? Or at the very least, some way to view all windows for a specifc app on a specific desktop - and by "view", I mean see the whole window, not just a tiny indicator of the window, or a slightly expanded stack that may not give enough context.
The only reason I "upgraded" to Lion was to get XCode 4.2. -
Indesign cs6 menu and tool bar disappear between windows using mission control in mountain lion
heres 2 screen grabs before and after. while navigating between 'spaces' using mission control in mountain lion. issue - the menu and tools bars disappear - not all of them just parts of them. to get back i hit 'tab' button twice which hides and shows tools. very annoying - does anyone know of a fix or is this another bug which i have to live with. im using a macpro june 2012/running 10.8.4 and 2 screens - left for artboard - right for all tool windows.
thanks steve - yes that works as does using the tab key - all well....until i move to another 'space' and then come back again.
for example: my setup is like this - no2 space has indesign project. no3 space has photoshop. so im working on a page within indesign and i need to edit an image- i double click the pic and it opens in photoshop on the other 'space' save the file and go back to indesign to update pic and find menu/tools all over the place - so hit tab twice back to normal - until i 'move' out of that space into another - photoshop/ mail/ whatever - as i toggle between spaces the indesign menu will always be 'corrupt' for a better word. hope that makes sense. -
I have a MacBook and I recently upgraded to Lion, but I can't do everything Lion has to offer. For example I can't do the 3 finger slide up gesture to go to mission control it won't go? Why?
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
For MacBooks it's only the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody that have the multi-touch trackpad.
