Can expose and spaces be installed on Mavericks?

I recently updated my OS from Snow Leopard to Mavericks.  I am sure there are some nifty things that this new OS can do, like iCloud synchronization, but Apple seems to have done away with some features that I really found useful, like Spaces which I used all the time.  Is it possible to install Expose & Spaces on a Mavericks equipped machine?  How would that be done?
Or is there a new feature that does the same thing that I have missed?

  • Expose' and Spaces preference plane is blank

    I upgraded my original core duo 20" iMac to Snow Leopard last night and it mostly went fine.   I did need to repair permissions to get the 10.6.8 combo update to install properly but that was the only hiccup I noticed at first. However, after a few minutes of usage, I noticed that my Expose' and Spaces preference pane went blank.  I was able to use it upon first boot but after a while I tried to go back in and click on the pref pane and got nothing aside from the message that the Expose and Spaces preferences were loading.  I clicked again and the window appeared but was blank.  Here's what I've tried so far.
    I logged out as myself and logged in as my wife and her preference pane appears without a problem.
    I repaired permissions several times including from a boot CD.
    I removed the relevant cache and plist files from my Library folder.
    I was able to get the pref pane back for a while but honestly I don't know exactly what I did to get it to come back.  I believe it was after I removed my com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file but I can't be totally sure.  One thing I noticed was that after removing com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist, the file did not come back on it's own after trying to edit the preferences.  I even copied the com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist from my wife's Library but that didn't seem to help (I'm still somewhat of a new Mac guy so I don't even know if that is a viable solution in the first place.)
    I've seen other people experiencing problems with blank preference panes but it doesn't seem like their solutions are relevant to my problem.  Also I would have thought that there might be a corrupt pref file somewhere but the fact that the behavior is normal under my wife's profle seems to suggest that all is well at the system file level.
    Any help is, of course, greatly appreciated.

    I called Apple support and they were able to help me.  Here's what they had me remove:
    com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
    com.apple.dashboard.plist
    com.apple.dock.plist
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
    my home/library Caches folder
    the root Library/Caches folder
    I rebooted and my Mac was back and running normal.  I think that /Library/Caches removal was the key part but I can't say for sure.

  • Cant find expose and spaces in system preferences

    I cant seem ti find "expose and spaces" in system preferences.  Can anybody help please?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    If you upgraded from Snow Lepoard OS 10.6.x that had Exposé and Space, then those two have been integrated into Mission Control in Lion OS 10.7.x. You can learn more in the Apple KB article Mac 101: Mission Control. Mission Control is in System Preferences. Another source of info about Mission Control, Exposé and Spaces is from the Help menu in the Finder. Just type any one of those elements in the search box and you should get a few articles that are connected to each other.

  • Unable to map expose and spaces keys to function keys on unibody macbook

    Hi all. I just bought a unibody macbook and wanted to add the spaces key to view all the windows in all spaces to the F5 key, and another expose key to F6. I went into the control panel under "expose and spaces" and "keyboard shortcuts" under "keyboard" and tried to set these keys. But it never actually accepts any of the settings I make. I put the settings to make them f5 and f6 but nothing happens when I press the keys. I know about the gestures and the hardcoded keys that are predefined on the macbook, but none of these allows me to use spaces to look at all the windows.
    What's going on here, have they made it impossible to set your own keys for these things now? Is f5 and f6 just totally unusable now? Is there a workaround?
    This is really annoying. Any suggestions?

    haha, I just figured it out after I posted it. It's Function-F5 that it get's mapped to even though it still says only f5. I don't know why it doesn't just say that in the first freaking place, but whatever.
    Does anyone know of a way to do this without having to use function-f5 and just mapping it to plain old f5? As far as I can see the key is just sitting there unused..

  • Can OAS9i and Portal be installed on Linux RedHat(kernel 2.2.19) platform?

    Hi,
    My question is the same as the subject written.
    Can OAS9i and Portal be installed on Linux RedHat(kernel 2.2.19) platform? Basically, first, I can't find the OAS9i "*.cp" image files for RedHat Kernel 2.2.16 or later use, second, what I can download from OTN site is V1.0.2.2.1 which is for Linux RedHat Kernel 2.4.3-12 or later use. And I downloaded all the files which OAS9i version is V1.0.2.2.1, and failed to install on my platform. So I want to know is there anybody installing OAS9i and Portal successfully on RedHat 6.2(Kernel 2.2.19, glibc 2.1.3)? Or can share on other RedHat version had any successful installation processes or suggestion. Thanks in advance.
    Regards!
    Frank

    9iAS 1.0.2.x is only supported on Redhat 7.0 and Suse 7.2

  • Dashboard Preferences: Why does Mac OS direct me to Expose and Spaces Pane?

    When I right click on the Dashboard Icon in the Dock and select "Dashboard Preferences..." I am directed to the System Preference pane for Expose and Spaces.
    This doesn't appear to be logical.
    Is there a true "Dashboard Preference" pane?

    Hello,
    when I look for list.plist the directory
    arrow indicates there are files but no files show in
    the directory.
    Files named list.plist or files which name contains list.plist ?
    I have no file named list.plist since I trash the one I told before.
    Is this similar to the "hide system
    files" option in Windows? If so, how do I turn on
    the view to show the file? Thanks in advance...
    On Mac, if a file is hidden* there is a good reason... so don't try to make them visible except if you know exactly what you do !
    * In general, a file which name begins with a dot is invisible in Finder.

  • Can Thunderbird and Lightning be installed and used as a Windows Server 8 r2 remote desktop application.

    Can Thunderbird and Lightning be successfully installed as a remote desktop (terminal server) application on Windows Server 8 r2? In this scenario, users would access Thunderbird and Lightning via Windows (or Linux or Mac) remote desktop connection. Each user has there own home folder and profile on remote desktop server. I want to make sure that an individual user will be able to maintain individual email accounts, folders, settings, etc. as if Thunderbird and Lightning were installed on a stand alone PC. Any tips or things to watch out for in this scenario would be helpful.

  • When I go to system preferences expose and spaces is not there for me as an option. What can I do to restore it?

    I have tried to fix permissions and restart and that did not help it show back up and I have also deleted the system preferences cache and still nothing. What can I do?

    I also miss the grid layout of spaces.  In fact, I'm considering downgrading back to Snow Leopard just to get it back.  I used to use command+arrow keys to move around in my grid of spaces.  I used to use a hot corner to initiate spaces, then another hot corner to initiate expose while "zoomed out" in spaces.  I used to be able to click any window of any app in any space and move it to any other space.  I used to be able to move an entire space to another location. 
    Now I've upgraded to Lion and I cannot do any of that.  Serious downgrade, serious loss of efficiency.  I've taken the time to learn how Lion handles all this.  I've taken the time to change options to try to make MC more efficient.  Simply put, it's a downgrade that breaks something great from Snow Leopard.
    For example:  Initiate Mission Control while on desktop 1 and I see a window on desktop 2 that I want on desktop 3.  In order to move that, I have to first switch to desktop 2, initiate MC, then move the app.  Not to mention, if that window were under another window, I'd not be able to see it at all! 
    For example:  In SL, to go from space 1 to 9 on a 3x3 layout, I could use command+right, down, down, right.  On Lion, I have to use comand+right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.  seriously?  Sure, I could use command+9 (if that's even where Lion decided it wanted to keep the app!), but I prefer the efficiency of using 1 hand to do the keyboard shortcut. 
    Tell Apple you want the option of having spaces in a grid again.  Who knows, maybe if enough of us do, they'll bring it back: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • How can I do a clean install of Mavericks?

    So I just traded my iMac for a macbook pro from someone on craigslist. Everytime I buy a computer off someone on craigslist I like to do a clean install and do a secure erase of the hard drive. Well normally I do this by taking a USB drive and making a installer on it for Mavericks and erasing the whole drive and making a new partition. Well I did this and after booting up and setting the mac up I noticed that some apps crashed a lot (Safari, iTunes, Mac app store) esspecially Safari when I try to clear the caches. Could something have gone wrong on the USB installer and do I need to redownload and recreate the USB installer and reinstall OS X again? Thanks in advance for the help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Has Expose and Spaces been changed?

    I loved spaces because I could hit fn f8 to see all 6 different spaces. Well now that doesn't happen anymore it just switches between all 6 spaces in order 1-6. Its very fustrasting not being able to drag the programs you want into the correct spaces or even just switching through them anymore as i don't remember which space i put it on. How do i get it back to the way it was before so i can see all 6 spaces instead of it just switching in order of the screens? To active spaces my hotkey is f8. put it acts like the hot key to switch between spaces when its not even on that key.

    Update, just restarted my computer to get the newest updates now fn f8 only takes me to screen 4 and safari is on screen 6 -_-

  • Can CC and CS6 be installed and active on the same desktop?

    Only one of the CS series can be installed and active on a single computer. Is this true with CC and CS6?

    Only one of the CS series can be installed and active on a single computer.
    Where did you hear that? That's simply completely untrue. Using multiple versions of CS products never has been an issue and neither is it for CC and CS6. Each major version uses it's own unique activation.

  • Can database and application services install on two different OS?

    Hi All,
    Our customer want to install Oracle E-Business Suite 12 on two separate nodes, but both of nodes are running different OS. One node is Red Hat Linux which will be the database server, and the other node is Microsoft Windows 2003 which will be the application server. My questions are whether there will be a problem to communicate between the database server and application or whether there will be a problem to do the configuration for them to work. Please help me on these questions.
    Thank you
    Lin

    I agree with Fadi...As long as it's supported, you shouldn't have problems. Or at least, if you do have problems, Oracle will be able to help you. :-) Oracle does provide support for "split-tier" configurations, but you should confirm that the one you propose is a supported combination.
    I recommend checking the certification matrix on Metalink, and if that seems ambiguous, log an SR with Oracle Support for clarification.
