App expose - only show windows in one desktop?

Just curious if anyone has found a way to get app expose to only show windows in the current desktop in Lion.
In SL if you input the following terminal command then when you activated app expose it would only show you windows for that app in the current space instead of all open windows in all spaces.
defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces -bool FALSE
Mission Control has replaced all window expose and is currently the only way to see everything that is going on within a single desktop (with the exception of minimized windows). But unlike All window expose, with mission control you can't easily see individual windows of a single app. Only App expose now provides this function. If I have 6 pdfs open on one desktop and another 6 pdfs open in another desktop (and presumably since I'm using 2 desktops I'm using these pdfs for different purposes) if I want to quickly switch to one of them using some form of expose it is really easy to accidentally switch to the other desktop (which I find very jarring and disruptive to my workflow).
Please note I am not trying to bash Mission Control. I actually don't mind it. I was just curious if anyone had found a similar terminal command or hack that restored the functionality of restricting app expose to a single space in Lion.
Thanks in advance!

Just chiming in to say I'd like to see a fix for this too. I put different windows onto different desktops because they're part of a completely separate work flow; when I use Application Exposé, I don't want to see windows from a different task entirely.

When I open my "Mail" app it only shows 2 messages when I know there are more. How do I resolve this?

When I choose my "Mail" app it only shows 2 messages in my inbox when I know there are more. How do I resolve this? Thanks.

You need to create HTML signatures for use with the Apple Mail apps. You can't just throw in a logo, it has to be stored on the internet and it's location coded into your signature. You may find a service and an app that helps you do that in the iTunes App Store.

Grub2 with two screens only shows up on one

I have recently installed Arch, and kudos, everything works almost perfect out of the box so to say. I had few hickups with some hardware, but everything resolved just fine in less than few hours thanks to magic of Google and Arch Wiki. As you probably guess I am quite new to Arch, but I am kind-a noob in disguise since I have beem Redhat user since around version 5.1 of their "Fedora" predecessor. Anyway I still consider myself a newbie since I have always been more of a user less of sysadmin/tweaker. I am a programmer and don't really care much about os internals as long as everything *just works*.
Now I have installed Arch on a laptop with external screen attached to it and have troubles with GRUBs boot screen not showing up on 2nd monitor. Boot menu only shows up on a built-in laptop screen, not on external one, There are no problems with my monitors, everything works as intended once system boots to X, however I can't get GRUB to show up on both screens. As my setup considered, I use this laptop as a dekstop replacement, so it sits on a shelf below my desk and since I don't see laptop screen at all, you understand, it is quite of inconvenience :-).. I have external monitor, keyboard and a mouse attached to it to VGA and usb ports so it really don't feels as laptop at all. I have managed to confiugre window managers to turn off laptop screen after login (shame to waste power and burn pixels if I can't see them), but I can't manage to get GRUB to show up on external monitor. Of course I have Arch as default so it boots into Arch anyway, and Windows is just below so I can blindly switch to windows by just pressing one arrow key, but I still have to look below the desk just to pick the right timing to press the arrow key for those rare occasions when I have to boot into windows :-). And most notably: I never had this problem with GRUB before and yes I had Fedora installed on this system as well.
I am using grub in text mode, I don't care for fancy splashes at boot time and so on.
I have googled quite a bit and seen that other people also have this issue, but I haven't seen any good answer yet. On one forum there is an answer that GRUB can't see the 2nd screen at boot time since it speaks only to BIOS (or uefi better to say), but I don't think its true. I am using my 2nd screen without problems in uefi bios mode, and windows boot mngr shows just fine on both screens, so it must be some setting for GRUB that I can't find.
I hope I am asking question in proper section, if not feel free to move it around.
Thanks in advance fo help and hope you don't mind my noob question.
PS:
Of course easiest way woud be to just format c:\ to ext4 and not need to boot into Windows at all, but alas, I do make money on guess what: programming VBA and automating databases with Access and Excel - I can tell you, vba programmers seem to be an extinct art so there is money to be made :-).

@The Saint - yeah, I realized after I posted that this was wrong thread. I am new to Arch wiki and was too fast to post. I came to forum with intend to ask this question, looked quickly through sections, saw "hardware" and posted just to realize afterwards it is ment hardware in context of kernel. This should probably be moved to some other section of the forum. I am sorry for inconvenience.
@Glow - I see uefi bios on my 2nd screen, no problems here. When I run live dvd I also see it on 2nd screen, but I think the dvd is using Syslinux instead of Grub. I have not tried another boot loader with Arch and Windows. Would like to use Grub2 actually just because I am familiar with it and it boots fine both linux and windows. So I would in first hand like to fix issue with Grub if possible, but if not I will have to look into some other boot loader.

KDE4.1 Do Not Show Windows From All Desktops

So how do I make my KDE4.1 desktop show windows on their own desktop and hide the buttons in the taskbar when I'm on a different desktop? This could be done in KDE 3 I remember.

miggols99 wrote:Easy. Right click task manager, and choose "Task Manager settings". Then tick "Only show tasks from the current desktop".
It's always right under your nose, isn't it...
Thanks for the help bro!

Music only showing up in one category

This is probably an easy one but I am ******** this morning.
Some of my albums only show up under the 'album' category. When I search under artist manually they will show up but when I search under the artist list tab they are not listed. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Found out the solution.
Go to settings/Music/ then turn off group by album artist. I am not sure why this works, but it does. Thanks to previous posters who answered the question.

Expose puts all windows on one screen?

SHORT VERSION: When I have my MBP hooked up to a 2nd monitor, sometime when I invoke the "all windows" mode in Exposé, it puts all the windows one one screen (usually the larger second screen) -- meanwhile if there are any minimized windows, it will "stack" them on the second screen at full size.
* This doesn't happen all the time. And I haven't quite figured out what conditions "cause" it.
* If I restart, the problem goes away.
* Mousing over a window only works correctly on the second screen (trying to hover over a window on the screen with the "minimized" windows -- those don't respond)
Thoughts?

You should fit 16 spaces of apps/folder icons per page. So, from your post, what is happening is that on page 1 you have 3 rows of 4 apps each then 1 row of 2 apps. On page 2 you have 1 app.
You can easily fix this via iTunes. Connect your iPod Touch to iTunes and to the following:
1. Touch and hold the app icon that you want to move (In this case it would be your sole icon on page2)
2. This will put you in edit mode for apps while they will all begin to shake
3. Grap the app with your finger and move it to the left edge of the screen
4. This will move it to page 1 and then you can place it wherever you want
Now you will all 15 apps on page 1.

Have Yosemite. App Store only showing Mavericks update

Hello!
I've been on Yosemite since it launched publicly, but the App Store has only ever shown updates for Mavericks and have never seen the 10.10.1 update show up.
When I click 'UPDATE' on the 10.9.5 update, nothing happens.
The About screen isn't bugged either, as I do have all the new features of Yosemite and use them regularly.
Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks!

Hmmm, never mind, the problem has mysteriously fixed itself thankfully :-)

Currently using Lightroom 5 as a standalone on a mac and two windows machines one desktop one laptop. with CC can i still use all the machines or do i have to take out an individual license for each?

with CC can i still use all the machines or do i have to take out an individual license for each?

Your LR5 license allows for activated installations on two machines. Of those two machine, only one can be using the licensed software at a given time. The same applies with CC, except with CC you won't be able to sneak in the third machine. What you can do though with CC is have it installed on all three and sign in and out of the different machines as needed.
If you intend to be using all three machines at the same time then you do need three separate licenses/subscriptions to be in compliance with the license agreement.

Report only showing items from one group

CA Forum: General
I have two tables in a Btrieve database: Customer and CustomerType. Customer contains a field called CustType that is mapped to the ID field of the CustomerType table. In my report, I have the results grouped by CustomerType.ID with the group name pulled from CustomerType.Description.This mostly works. However, only results from the last CustomerType in the database are displayed. There are a number of other customers who belong to other groups, but only those with the CustomerType "Residential" are shown. There is no formula or anything in the Select Expert that would cause this.Any ideas?(By the way, I'm a Crystal Reports newbie. Sorry if this is a stupid question.)

Thank you! Changing the link to Left Outer Join caused the other records to display. However, the "Residential" customer type is the only one with grouped records. All other records are placed under a group with no name, even though those records have different CustType values. Also, there is nothing in the group footer, so I assume it isn't that.

I have homeshare turned on on both of my computers, but it is only showing up on one of them.

I got a new laptop and have attempted to transfer all my music from my old computer to my new one. I've used homesharing before and it didn't transfer everything from the desktop library to the laptop, so I want to do it again to get the rest of it, however there is no "Sharing" section under my library on my laptop. It's shown up on the desktop, but not the laptop.Home sharing is turned on on both the desktop and the laptop. What do I do?

Screen/Desktop Only showing one program at a time...

My mom called me in to look at her iMac earlier today. She said she was moving her illustrator window off to the side when all of the sudden it was "sucked" away to the left side of the screen. Now when she tries to bring up more than one window for different programs, it will only show windows from one program at a time. I have no clue what she has done and can't seem to find a way to fix this... Does anyone know what she has turned on and how can I turn it off?
Thanks!

sounds strange. I would try resetting dock and spaces preferences. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults.

App Expose showing all previous opened files

If I go into App Expose (3-finger swipe down) in apps like Textedit or Pages, I see a row of icons showing the last x docs thart have been opened. I don't want this to happen. I thought that App Expose only revealed all open windows of an app.
Is there any way of switching this off?

may something with system prefs general aand items you want show..

Application manager only shows 12 apps

Greetings,
I have creative cloud for my work. I downloaded my desired app on my mac. I have a pc at home and I started downloading some apps there, but was interrupted so I ended up not downloading them at home, my goal was to download pc versions overnight, I figured I could just copy the downloaded files to a flash drive and then take them to work and install/activate at work. On my work pc now, app manager only shows 12 apps, the ones that I started downloading on my home pc no longer show. on my mac, app manager indicates the apps that are already installed. my pc app manager simply doesn't show them. i understand you can have two seats and that is my goal. please advise.

Is your home PC 64-bit? If it is only 32-bit then Premiere Pro and After Effects will not show on the Apps & Services web page or in the Adobe Application Manager. Also Edge will not show if you are running Windows XP.
Sure would be good if a note to that effect appeared in the AAM and on the App & Services page explaining that to all 32-bit users.
Silence (and no appearance of a Premiere Pro or After Effects entry) just leaves them scratching their heads expecting them to work it out for themselves.
Any chance of the engineers adding that tweak to the Cloud? Then these questions will disappear from the forums.
