Application Switching not working in Spaces

I'm having some trouble with Spaces and Application switching. Randomly the feature that switches the space to the right Application when you click on the dock stops working. The menu bar will change to the right application but the window and space will stay the same. Clicking the Window menu and selecting the window you want to go to doesn't work either. This problem also persists if you are in another Application like Safari and another application is behind it. You click the application in the dock and the menu bar changes, but Safari (or whatever program you were in before) stays in the front. The only way to switch is to manually click the spaces button on the dock and select the window you want which can get really annoying. A computer restart fixes the problem but I don't like having to restart my computer every other day or so.

Well, my mouse issue turned out to be a Logitech Control Center/ Leopard issue. It was resolved with an update from Logitech but Spaces is still buggin' hard. When I try to switch spaces using Spaces this is what happens:
I'm in Mail (space 3) and I wish to switch to Safari (space 1)
I open spaces, click on space one and things become slow-motion the menu bar switches to Safari but the window switches to iTunes (space 2)
This stops with a restart but eventually it starts happening again. I switch fine if I click the application icon in the dock but not if I use Spaces.
Irrelevant of this bug but another recent freakout occurred when iTunes stopped dragging and dropping so I restarted. I was greeted with a hang on the grey screen with the black wheel for several hours. I eventually got it to power down again. I then pulled the power cord from the back, reconnected it and it restarted. All was fine until the return of the SpaceBug a few minutes ago.

  • Application Switcher Not Working correctly

    Selecting a program opens desired program properly(as displayed in Menu Bar) but will not open the corresponding program's open windows until selecting program in a Mission Control desktop. After selecting the desktop to which the program is attached and clicking on the program then the open windows will be properly displayed.
    Application Switcher seems to work correctly and open the corresponding windows within a desktop if programs are attached to a particular desktop but will not open the corresponding open windows if the programs are located on different desktops - i.e. Mail Windows will not open if Safari windows are displayed because programs are on two different desktops.

    Maybe the "oddity" has been fixed and it is no longer A on the French keyboard, but Q, as it should be.

  • Application switcher not working as expected

    I am using the French localisation of Leopard. Using Application switcher (ie Cmd-Tab) I was able on Tiger to quit a running app by pressing A (an oddity due to the AZERTY / QWERTY differences). This does not work any more and I cannot quit an application from Application switcher. Any advice?

  • Keyboard shortcuts to Dashboard, Application Switch not working

    I think other people are having a related version of this problem! After a certain period of time after starting or restarting the computer (perhaps whenafter the computer goes to sleep?) the keyboard shortcuts for Tiger, F9, F10, F11, and F12 don't work, and neither does Cmd + Tab to switch between applications. What is going on?

    I've not a solution, but for what it's worth I have a TiPB, a MacBook Pro, and two Quicksilvers running Tiger and have not experienced your problem. Not to suggest the problem doesn't exist, but perhaps it's related to something specific with your computer. You might try booting into safe mode to see if the problem ceases. If it does, then it's related to something safe mode disables. Another thing you can try is to create a new test user, then log out of your normal account and log into the test account. If the problem disappears, then it may be related to a bad preference file or something running in you normal account that isn't in the test account. It could also be a problem related to a corrupted cache file. Use one of the several utilities around for cleaning cache files.
    If none of the above are successful, consider doing an Archive and Install to reinstall a fresh copy of Tiger.

  • Application switching not working properly

    Today something strange started happening. When I try to switch to an open application, using Command-TAB or even clicking on the icon in the dock, instead of the application coming to the front, only the menu bar for that application comes to the front. When I click a second time on the dock icon, the switch completes, and the window comes to the front. But when using Command-TAB it's just left there. I can bring the window to the front, e.g. by doing a keyboard command (e.g. Command-L in Chrome to get into the address bar) but I can't just switch with one move from one window to another. This has changed today, up until now it's been fine. It changed around the same time I had a weird file corruption issue in MS Word; I wonder whether they are related? Whether perhaps it's to do with disk corruption. Anyway if you've had a similar problem let me know, I'd be interested to hear any suggestions for how to fix it (e.g. is there a way to flush preference files, and reset? I'll see whether it happens in a new user account).
    Cheers
    Seth

    Heya Seth- I just got this wrapped up with a senior specialist; here's what we did.
    Oh, little background - this happened to me too seemingly out of the blue BUT coinciding with some corruption that an Erase & Install hopefully took care of.... it was after the E & I that this began to happen.
    Shut Down
    Holding shift key & Power On
         must hold the Shift key until a progress bar appears (can release the Power button immediately)
    Time will pass
    Images will show up much slower (this slows down the Quartz filters...?)
    Open up apps.  Now try switching..... 
         it will be slow but keep your eye on the Menu bar. 
    Working (mine did)
    It's a log-in item then.
    Restart - this will be sloooooooow.
    Back up, Sys Pref - Users & Accounts - log-in items... I took out Growlhelper. 
    Worked like a charm.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers,

  • Dreamweaver does not work in spaces

    I have Dreamweaver set to work in space 7, but when I open Dreamweaver, the application does not change to space 7.
    All other apps work fine so why not Dreamweaver?

    I'm having problems using Dreamweaver with spaces. If I'm doing artwork in Photoshop, or looking up info in Mail, and switching backwards and forwards between Dreamweaver and another application, I find that when I go back to Dreamweaver the main window isn't showing (whether that be the document I'm working on or the files window). In fact, if it's the files window, I typically have to go to the Window menu and select Files (which then unchecks the files menu item) and then reselect Files to get it to appear. Very annoying and time consuming. Of course F8 doesn't work because that now activates spaces and conflicts with F8's function within Dreamweaver.

What I have understood is that you recreated the EM repository. So where does "some of the future not working like date,etc." come into it? Are you checking date from EM ? Which application is not working, your application or EM or both or somethingn else? Tell us the complete version, error information and also post the output of

    Hi,
      How have you defined the property "WAS host" for the portal system that you have created for the back-end?
    You might get this error if the way you have defined this WAS host property and the way you are calling the portal are different. For example, if your WAS host property is "<hostname>:<portnumber>" and you are calling your portal as "localhost:<portnumber>", then you will get this error.
      Also are you connecting to your portal using the fully qualified domain name? Don't call the portal simply as
    <i>http://<host>:<port>/irj</i> but call it as http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/irj.

  • Application is not working due to memory issue

    Hi Friesnds,
    Kindly help me regarding settings in java. Scenario is like that. I have one server having two jboss versions (jboss-4.2.3 GA and jboss- 3.2.6). Each having java memory (JVM settings) 1 GB. The total memory of that server is 3 GB.
    Problem is that every two days my application is not working due to memory issue. Once i freed the memory (through run the commands - (1). sync
    (2). echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    Application works fine.
    I heared that the above command (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) can't run frequently because of server crash.
    Kindly help me regarding this issue and provide the resolution.
    Let me know if you need more information from my side.
    Thanks

    All of the above.  I tested on 4 different networks and had no luck, I also had friends test my network and the other networks with their iPhones and all had no issues using FaceTime.
    Also after I wiped my phone (erased all content and settings) I was able to successfully initiate a FaceTime call with no changes to my network and was also able to initiate another call when connected to another previously tested network that didn't work before.  Once I restored from backup though, FaceTime stopped working again.
    I did find this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5163024?start=0&tstart=0
    and tried the suggestions found there too.  That discussion describes my issue I am having as well.

  • MAM application is not working for some users

    Hi All,
    Tha MAM application is not working for some users.Different users have different workcenters other than that I dont see any other change. When I run MAM30_090_GETLIST in the backend I can see the no of customized users.But I cant see same no of users in the MEREP_207 table for the Syncbo MAM30_090 and strcture id TOP in the middleware. There is a data when I checked under worklist monitor for that user. But neither the MAM application nor MAM data is downloading to that device.
    If I use different user on the same device I can see the MAM application and MAM data.
    What could be the wrong in this case. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Mobile Client:MI 70 SP 15 Patch 0 Build 200802280918
    Middleware:SAP NetWeaver 2004s with Patch leve 15
    Backend:SAP ECC 6.0
    Application:MAM 3.0
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ameer.

    Hi,
    from your description the source of your issue is quite obvious: some of the MAM users configured in spro are not configured properly.
    For T01 SyncBos the number of TOP records in merep_207 MUST be the same as number of headers returned by an appropriate getList FM in the backend.
    You need to solve this before you can go any further.
    Reason why a record is not recorded in MEREP_207 - getdetail failed for whatever reason. So execute MAM30_ML_getdetail for each of the users that is not replicated in the middleware and check if there are errors in RETURN table. If there is no error - one of the common reason for replication fail is when there are records in item tables that have duplicate primary keys.

  • I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

    I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
    Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

    1
    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

  • I updated my Ipad 2 last night, and now my Kobo application is not working. Any ideas?

    So, last night, updated my Ipad 2, it took ages, but went smoothly. Two things I noticed right away--my Kobo application is not working (opens, but bookmarked screen is blank), and when I went to the App store to see if I had missed a Kobo update perhaps, the APP update screen was frozen and wouldn't allow me to select ANY updates.  Anyone have some advice?

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
