Command-tab does not show minimized window

Hello, use command-tab to cycle through all the open apps, and I stop on one that I want to display. However, if that app is minimized, nothing happens. Not too convenient. Is there a way to automatically show the minimized window when I select it w/ command-tab? (this is how windows works and I prefer it this way)
thanks

Greetings from a System Leopard user.
I've not yet upgraded to System Snow Leopard, but I'm running across unbelievable messages and applications that are required to allow CMD+Tab to work right under System Snow Leoperd. Is this a big joke or what?
There are at least 5 $hareware/commercial (but not public domain) apps that are required to restore the use of CMD+Tab for System Snow Leopard users.
Using System Leopard, CMD+Tab works perfectly. But reading various messages threads it looks like Apple programmers have disallowed CMD+Tab to work properly in System Snow Leopard. Why?
Any Apple Employee, anywhere:
If this is all true, that CMD+Tab has turned into a convoluted mess, then why have Apple engineers disallowed normal use of CMD+Tab?
If this is true about CMD+Tab, is it because Microsoft Vista programmers sneaked onto the property and diddled with the System Snow Leopard source code?
Apple employee, the most acceptable reason for not upgrading to System Snow Leopard is software application compatibility, but if global functions are intentionally convoluted in System Snow Leopard, please explain the Apple decision process vis a vis CMD+Tab, and the reasons this condition has been allowed to fester.
Thanks much!

  • Command-tab does not show open apps after sleep.

    In Mountain Lion, after the system goes to sleep, it no longer shows applications when I command-tab.  So it doesn't show the open apps.  Only Finder.  Also, it no longer shows the white dot beneath apps on the dock. I have to restart the computer.  Then it shows the open apps again, but the whole problem starts once the computer goes to sleep.  This problem has been occuring since the new install of Mountain Lion.  Any ideas?         

    My only solution is to never let the computer sleep, only the display.

  • Info tab does not show in iTunes 11.1.2 in iPad sync window

    I have OS 10.9 on my iMac, iOS 7.0.3 on my iPad, and I'm using iTunes 11.1.2 . I had only one problem syncing my iPad with the iTunes--the info tab does not show in the sync window. Has the method of syncing calendars changed? How can I do this

    I found the following in another discussion thread:
    If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com. (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117)
    Since I do not use cloud computing for security reasons, I will not be syncing my contacts or calendars between devices. I hope the Apple developers rethink this strategy. Meanwhile I'll figure out a work-around as I have in the past when software has an unfortunate glitch.

    I connect my macbook pro to an Epson wireless projector. The macbook can see the projector wirelessly and the image on the macbook is displayed on the projector. However on system ref., the arrangement tab does not show and thus cannot have multiple view.
    I am trying to project Pro Presenter on the Epson projector such that I have the detail screen on the macbook and only the screen I want people to see on the projector display. This has not been possible because the arrangement tab on the Display section of the System Preference is not showing. If i tried to search for the arangement, it comes back with the message that there is not other source detected, hence the arrangement tab is not showing.
    I have also tried to connect the Epson directly to the Macbook but it still the same result, so its not because it is a wireless connection. Can someone advise me jhow to go around this problem. I have used windows before and it is very easy to extend ptojection on windows, but this system seems to be frustrating to me.

    Hello,
    I was able to use your custom ribbon tab XML just fine.  The only thing is, the copy you provided had a bunch of illegal characters embedded in it (like reverse quotes?), I'm not sure if they're showing up in your version of the XML or not.  Anyway,
    after replacing those with straight quotes and fixing some other misc formatting, it worked fine.  I created an empty SharePoint project and added an empty element, then added your XML to the Element.xml file.  In SP, I created a new custom
    list and the "My Tab Name" tab appeared with a button that displayed "Hello World" when I clicked it. So, I recommend checking the formatting of your XML.  Just look for red squiggles in the editor and fix them.

  • Tab does not show when dragged into it's own new window

    This happened after I updated to Firefox 8.0.1. Same problem with 9.0.1. I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.5.8. I have not changed any add-ons, plugins, extensions, or anything like that.
    Every time a tab is dragged from my main window to form it's own new window, the tab button on the new window does not appear. I only have a + sign showing.
    A tab will show when I open a new tab, but the original "tab" does not appear. The + sign also appears on the left side of all new tabs. Isn't it supposed to be on the right?
    If I have 2 "tabs" open but only have 1 tab showing and try to close the window, Firefox asks me if I'm sure I want to close the 2 tabs.
    Tabs when opening blank new windows work properly. Dragging a tab to an already opened window works fine as well.
    Most of the time a tab is dragged out on accident, and it is quite annoying because I can't drag it back into the main window.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks!

    I found the cause but no solution, it's actually a plugin that does that: divx plus weblpayer (it gets installed when you install DivX on your system), if you disable it and restart firefox it all works again. But I want that plugin... so DivX need to fix this, unless it is a Firefox bug in its own core... anyway these two together creates the problem.
    (I'm running Firefox 9.x on OSX Lion)
    I also wish firefox tab tear out tab worked more like chrome's tab tear out, much friendlier...

  • Cmd-tab does not bring up window

    When you use command-tab (actually cntl-tab) in Windows, you can scroll through each active program and the active program you stop on displays the window of the active program even if you had minimized it previously.  This is not true for the Mac operating systems. You can use cmd-tab, but the program you stop on--even though it is the active program--the window does not show if it has been minimized.  You have to click on the icon in the dock.
    Is there anyway you can re-launch the last active window of the active program without clicking on its icon in the dock?  Is there a shortcut key combination that launches the window of an active program?

    To my knowledge, no. I tend to avoid the problem by not minimizing windows. If I want to get to the desktop I use Mission Control's desktop function. I also use multiple desktops and assign programs to them.

  • Wlst command listWebServices() does not show all web services in the domain

    Hi, I am trying to use wlst command listWebServices() to display all web services of a domain. It seems that it only displays the web services of enterprice applications (ear apps), but it does not show the web services of web applications (war apps). If I pass ear appliication name and one of its web module to listWebServices, it will show the web services that belong to the web module of this application. However if I pass war application name and its web module name to listWebServices, it will return "Unable to find the SOA Composite or Service. Oracle UCM Native Web Services", although I can see from wls admin console or em that this web application does have a couple of web services.
    I also tried to call listWebServicePolicies, again it returned "Unable to find any Web Services with the specified Application".
    My purpose of doing above is to use wlst to detach/attach web service policies for some web services. Since I cannot find the web services, I off course cannot detach/attach policies.
    Does anyone have any clue how to find web services using wlst command that belong to a war application, and then detach/attach policies ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    From Oracle fusion HCM

    As of UCM version 11.1.1.6, Oracle UCM Web Services are managed from Enterprise Manager in Fusion Middleware Control, not Weblogic Admin Console!
    A document at Oracle support explains this in more detail: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1456506.1 :
    Setting up GenericSoapService in WLS to use WS-Security:
    Go to FMW Enterprise Manager. http://wlshost:7001/em
    In the tree, navigate to Weblogic Domain -> <Domain Name> -> and click on UCM_server1. (If the managed server for WCC is named something other than UCM_server1, click on that name.)
    From the UCM_server1 drop down menu, select "Web Services".
    On the "Oracle Infrastructure Web Services" tab, click the GenericSoapPort link.
    Once there you can set the policies you want and restart the server!

  • Face Time for mac does not show contacts window or allow me to sign in

    My Facetime for Mac launches but does not show me my Contacts sidebar or allow me to 'Sign In'. Preferences is grayed out as well.
    It works under a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts). I added a contact into the blank address book to test it out. I'm troubleshooting it right now to get it to work under my account, I think it has something to do with not fully accessing the keychain.
    The tell-tell sign for me is when I launch FaceTime for Mac the preview window does not show immediately. I have to click on the app a second time for the window to appear. This does not happen under the new account
    I have already:
    - Restarted
    - Removed preferences and Caches
    - Re-installed Face Time
    - Repaired and reset keychains
    - Signed in under a different MobileMe account in System Preferences
    Any other suggestions

    SOLVED !!
    After many, many more steps and close to total ruin of my MobileMe sync structure, I have the found the hidden files to remove that solved my problem.
    ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist temp
    ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .6Va7JFn [+these letters may be than different yours+]
    Logged out, then back in again
    When I launched Facetime it worked exactly as it does on my test user account.
    here are the terminal commands to try for your solution
    cd ~/Library/Preferences/
    ls -A [+To get the letters for the third file+]
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ temp

    Hi,
    I had this problem. Solution was to move mouse over taskbar icon. When Firefox displays small icon right click this and select maximise window !!! I think somehow Firefox got minimised to the taskbar and would not reopen as a full window. i.e it when you clicked the taskbar icon it would pop up and then pop back down to the taskbar again !!
    Hope this helps.

  • MacBook Pro late 2013 does not show login window after waking from sleep

    MacBook Pro late 2013 does not always prompt for login, but opens directly to desktop, even though security settings are setup to prompt for password after 5 minutes. Up to now, this only has happened on battery, machine goes to sleep or lid is closed, 10 minutes pass, lid is opened and desktop is shown instead of lock screen. Console shows, that the machine was actually sleeping (10 min no log entries) and also does not show any error in regards to login window.
    This behaviour occurs randomly and I could not track down any root cause/behaviour, yet. Sometimes everything behaves as it should.
    Any ideas?

    Count me in, I have the same issue, and from what I read here, it looks like a Yosemite/SSD related issue ?
    I'm not 100% sure if it started when I put a SSD in my old iMac 2009 (as a fusion drive) or if that's after that when I upgraded to Yosemite...
    I did disable auto poweroff like suggested in another thread : Mac freeze during the night sleep.
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
    We'll see if it helps.
    It happens toughly a couple of times a week.
