Application's windows are lost under Mission Control with Mavericks

Since I updated to Mavericks, once I start applications, when I use Mission Control, the windows of those applications are lost from the screen. I have to restart the computer in order to be able to work again, or close those applications and restart the

Are you using multiple screens? Does your problem behave like this one?

Server connections are lost after sleep mode with Mavericks.

Ever since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, when I "wake" my iMac after putting it in Sleep mode, the network connections have disconnected and I have to re-connect all of them (6) every day. This never happened with Mountain Lion or any other previous version of OS X. Is there a fix for this?

I've also noticed this problem. Brand new MBP with Mavericks, goes to sleep, on wakeup all my network drives are disconnected, as is Outlook 2011. None of them recover gracefully - I have to manually reconnect. Aggravating..

How do I get rid of blank pdf windows that appear in mission control? My adobe acrobat program isn't even open.

Everytime I go into mission control I see blank pdf windows. I can't get rid of them except when I restart my computer. Otherwise I have to put them all into 1 desktop in mission control so they don't clutter my other desktops. The windows only appear in mission control and not in the actual active desktop. I've tried closing any open application that uses pdfs but that doesn't help. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Hi Bill,
I came to the problem this morning with a fresh perspective and have solved the problem: I realized the text was in Cambria, so I changed it to the dependable Times New Roman. I created the PDF and NO pound signs appeared scattered around in the PDF.
Ay, fonts!
Thanks for replying, and have a great day!

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBB

I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

Window (ungrouped) names in Mission Control

I know that the if you have the Mission Control preference set to "grouped windows", the application name is shown under each window when you look at all applications. I also know that when you focus on a specific application in Mission Control (MC), the windows associated with that application are all appropriately named under the thumbnails. But what I don't see in Mountain Lion is if you have MC set to "ungrouped windows", there are no names under the thumbnails, e.g. names of my multiple Pages or Word files. Instead, I have to click the space bar while hovering over the window to see what is in each of them. The naming of all of the windows in Expose was really useful. Is there any way to get that back?
I have a feeling that in their move to make "one system" for desktops and mobile devices, apple has decided that the names would be too small. Well, I still like to use a real computer ---- OK, I am off my soapbox.
Nick

It seems to me to be the opposite of what you describe wrt to grouped vs ungrouped.
However, if you go to App Exposé instead of Mission Control, you see the names under the windows.
Now, where is the function in iOS that shows all the open applications at once?

How do I delete unused window spaces in Mission Control with Mountain Lion?

When I open an application to full-window size (opening a new "space" in mission control), the "space" does not close when I terminate the application. Instead, the space remains blank. There are no options to remove or open an application, and I cannot remove the empty space in mission control. When I re-open the same program, it creates a new space. Now I have 11 spaces and only 4 of them are usable/not blank.
How do I delete the blank ones?

JonRow, Look familiar?
And when I did try and swipe through full screen apps I briefly got this. See image below. (note the menu bar icons top right)
Before going to a blank grey screen.
If the problem comes back I will tru the killall dock command.

Why is iTunes window open in every mission control window

I have a 27" iMac with the latest Mac OS and the latest version of iTunes. I have my iTunes library installed on an external Hard Drive. When I open iTunes, every mission control window has an open iTunes window? 10 screens 10 open iTunes windows? This is very annoying! How can I fix this so only one iTunes window is open on one mission control screen?

Hey llsorens,
Thanks for the question. Take a look at the resource for Mission Control below. It sounds like in your Mission Control preferences, you have the options set to All Desktops, which means the application (iTunes) will appear in every space.
OS X Yosemite: Work in multiple spaces
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18757?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US
Assign apps to spaces
If you assign an app to a particular space, it opens in that space by default.
Press and hold an app’s icon in the Dock. You may have to first open the app from Launchpad to see its icon in the Dock.
From the shortcut menu that appears, do one of the following:
Have the app open in the current space: Choose Options > This Desktop.
The app appears only in that space. However, if you open the app in full screen, it appears in its own space.
Have the app open in the current space on a specific display: Choose Options > Desktop on Display [number].
Have the app open in every space: Choose Options > All Desktops.
The app appears in every space.
Have the app open in whichever space you’re using at the time: Choose Options > None.
In Mission Control preferences, you can also specify that, when you switch to an app, your desktop should switch to a space with open windows for that app. To open Mission Control preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mission Control.
Hope that helps ...

IPhoto opens but window is only in Mission Control

I can see that the applicaiton is open. When I activate Mission Control I can see the window, but cannot access it on my desktop. I've tried shutting all windows, and restarting the app but no change.

You could however maybe trick the Dock by setting the delay rate to some high number, say one hour.
In terminal copy and paste:
defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 3600.00 && killall Dock
To restore the default behavior, enter:
defaults delete com.apple.Dock autohide-delay && killall Dock

I can't see anything in Mission Control with OS X 10.8.4 update

So I installed the new update for Mountain Lion the other day (10.8.4) and before when I went to mission control all the things I had open would show up in their windows; but now they shrink to nothing. The only one that goes into its normal view (little window) is iTunes, all of the others disappear (or just show a very very thin line). Is this just some kind of bug... or what?

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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Building an Application in Windows to be used in Linux (with the Run-Time Engine)

Hi All,
I have an LabVIEW project I have developed in a Windows environment. I can create an Application (.exe) using the Build Specification -> Application Builder which works fine on the development platform.
I now want to distribute the application to a Linux Environment. The OS is openSUSE v10.3 (with GNOME). I have downloaded the two rpm files needed for the run-time engine and installed them, as per here:http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/97E14BA3E0C14A89862572C300567733?opendocument&node=13207...
Now, the question is; how do I create an Application in Windows which can be used on the Linux Box? According to the Application Builder instructions, it's simply a case of removing the .exe extension in the Target File Name options, however, this gives an error "Invalid Extension."
If I do create an exe and manually remove the extention is doesn't work on the Linux enviroment (typing ./application).
Has anyone had experiance of this?
Many Thanks for Any Help,
Oliver

Labview 8.2.1

LabVIEW Run-time Engine Version 8.2.1 for Linux

The cross-platform nature of LabVIEW refers more to the code than to the executable.
LV (given the appropriate development version) can compile the same source code into a Windows (using LV for Windows), Linux (using LV for Linux) or Mac (using LV for Mac) program.
This means you will still have three versions of your program, one for each platform.
If you want to distribute VIs (without block diagrams), you will also need different versions of these as without the block diagram, they cannot be re-compiled for a new platform.

New problem keyboard shortcuts for mission control in Mavericks

I have a MacBook Pro Retina and make heavy use of multiple desktops in Mission Control and use control keys (^1, ^2, etc.) to switch desktops.
Sometimes I use the built-in laptop keyboard and sometimes I have an external keyboard attached, which has a numeric keypad.
Previously, pressing "control" and the "1" on the numeric keypad worked the same as presing "control" and the "1" in the row of number keys across the top of the keyboard. Now, in Mavericks, it seems like the system does not treat these as the same keystrokes. I cannot find a way to configure the keyboard shortcuts so that I can use the numeric keypad to switch Mission Control desktops when the keyboard is attached and still be able to use the regular number keys when I'm working on the laptop's built-in keyboard.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
John

I figured it out. ^1 typed from the number keys is not equivalent to ^1 typed from the numeric keypad. So, when you go into system prefs / keyboard / shortcuts / mission control, it may LOOK the same, but it is not. You simply have to select each of your spaces and change them to ^1, ^2, ^3, etc., using the NUMERIC keypad. It will look the same to you, but it will work properly after that.

"earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp" with bootcamp 5.1.2

Hi everyone !
I have a problem about installing window 8.0 pro 64-bit with bootcamp ( v5.1.2 ). When I finished setting up, Bootcamp shows me a message as " earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp " although I'm using bootcamp with 5.1.2 version. How can I resolve it ? My mac is mgxa2 mid 2014.
Thanks a lot !

Thanks for supporting to me .
According to "Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Supports" If I use bootcamp version equal or greater than 5, so I can do it. But my current bootcamp likes that. So why not ? . In the first time I set up though bootcamp , it's good but now it always shows that message .

I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why?

I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac 27" with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why? I first did all the software updates needed, downloaded the driver software to a 32Gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, fired up Bootcamp Assistant, inserted the Windows 8.1 Full version 64 bit installation DVD as requested, and got as far as partitioning (tried this at 82 Gb for the Windows partition), then the MAC rebooted but halted before getting to the login page. Then a black screen came up with the error message: 'non-system disk - Press any key to reboot'. I did this and nothing happened. I was forced to shut down forcibly then restart with my finger held down on the option key. Then a screen came up with two icons: the macintosh HD icon and the Windows DVD icon. I double-clicked on the Windows DVD icon and the MAC came up with another black screen and error message: 'CDBoot: Couldn't find BOOTMGR'. Had to shut down forcibly again and restart as before, this time ejecting the Windows DVD first. Then I repartitioned my MAC back to all OSX. What the **** do I do now? Applecare couldn't help me beyond this point. They said to contact Microsoft. I notice a lot of other MAC owners have had similar problems.
Please help? tagjsmith.

RCP application on Windows JVM 1.6.0_12 crashed with exit code = 1073807364

A user was using my RCP-based application over several days. At one point, when he apparently wasn't actively using it, the JVM crashed with exit code 1073807364. After some research, I haven't been able to determine what this exit code refers to.
On additional, possibly helpful bit of information is that the hex equivalent 0x40010004 is used to indicate Windows task status. However, this app is not running Windows tasks that I know of, although perhaps RCP, SWT or the SQL Server JDBC layer is doing so without my knowledge.
Can anyone tell me what this exit code indicates, or how to find out?

Are there any parental controls with regard to the iPod Touch?

I'm a bit concerned about my young teenager being able to access the internet via the built in Wi-Fi, download chat apps and possibly inappropriate movies and/or games. Is there anyway to set controls like you would on your home computer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
