Control-Shift-W activates Snow Leopard-Like exposé for all windows. Can this be disabled/changed?

Running Mac OS X 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air, Control-Shift-W produces a Snow Leopard-like expose for all windows.
While useful, this keyboard shortcut is wreaking havoc with my BBEdit settings. (Control-Shift-W is used to toggle "Selected text only" in the "Find" window.)
Does anyone know a way to alter or disable this system shortcut? I haven't been able to find any information regarding this shortcut and I fear I may have altered an underlying property (using "defaults write…" at the command line) and I don't know how to revert what I (may) have done.
Thanks in advance.

I suspect that it's busy trying to mount a network file system of some type.
Are there any errors in your logs that seem appropriate (viewable via Applications->Utilities->Console?)

  • Control CS4 Licenses with Snow Leopard server

    Hi there i have a team of designers and i have to control the applications that the access and im wondering if theres a way to control the lisenses with snow leopard server application restrictions.

    You can allow or deny launching an application, to individual users, groups, computers or computer groups.
    You can't allow x number of copies of Photoshop or any application to run concurrently until a license limit is reached.
    You would need something like Sassafras Keyserver for that.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path

    Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path using any of these perfectly normal methods:
    1. double-click file in the Finder (e.g in a Folder on your Mac or on your Mac desktop etc.)
    2. select file and choose "File... Open" command-o in the Finder
    3. drag file to the application icon in the Finder.
    4. Select file in Bridge and double-click, choose File.. Open.. or Drag icon to InDesign icon in dock.
    If you try to open an ID file named with a "#", you will get an error message "Missing required parameter 'from' for event 'open.'"
    This happens to any InDesign file that has a "#" (pound sign, number sign, or hash) in the filename or in the file path (any parent folder).
    To reproduce
    Name an InDesign file Test#.idd Try to open it in the Finder or Bridge (as opposed to the "Open" dilaog of InDeisng itself).
    "Solution"
    The file WILL open using File... Open... command-o while in InDesign application.
    Rename the file or folders that have a "#" (shift-3) in the filename.
    Report to Adobe if it bugs you.
    This does not occur in "plain" Leopard 10.5 nor Tiger 10.4
    Untested in Panther or before and
    Untested with CS3 and earlier in Snow Leaopard.
    Anyone have those and want to try this... ?

    In case this really bothers you: we've added a workaround for this into Soxy. If you enable the option, these documents will open fine on double-click.
    You need Soxy 1.0.7 from:
    http://www.rorohiko.com/soxy
    Go to the 'Soxy' - 'Preferences' - 'Other' dialog window, and enable 'Open InDesign via Script'
    (Irrelevant background info (it's all invisible to the user): the workaround works by special-casing how Soxy opens documents in InDesign: instead of using AppleScript, Soxy will use ExtendScript to instruct InDesign to open the document - which works fine).

  • Is it possible to use the snow leopard install disk for bootcamp setup?

    I'm going to be installing a windows 7 partition through bootcamp on my macbook, but I can no longer find the two original install disks that it came with. So my question was whether or not its possible to go through the bootcamp process with the snow leopard install disk?

    Do you mean a "Retail OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD for USD 29" ?
    If so, then yes. use it.
    Sounds to me like the Original Install Discs you refer to are OSX 10.5 Leopard ones, right ?
    These won't work with Windows 7 since Windows 7 requires OSX Snow Leopard DVD at minimum for the Driver Installation and BootCamp Assistant version 3.x as well, which is also only avaiable in OSX Snow Leopard.

    Hi..

    Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
    Click your Apple menu > Software Update
    Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Then restart your Mac.

  • After upgrade my MBP from snow leopard to mountain lion all my smb connections stop to work.

    After upgrade my MBP from snow leopard to mountain lion all my smb connections stop to work.
    Now iám using mac os 10.8.2
    I can see the server, I can choose the drive, but when try to open a folder the message on Finder is: You don't have permissions to see the content.
    I already delete the key and try to connect again, but the problem persist. Already try change the ip from file server. Already try differents users. (admin, guest, etc...)
    I have a windows server 2008 and a NAS working with SMB protocol. Both with the same problem.
    That problem occurs only on Finder, if I try see the folder by Terminal, is possible to see my files.
    Any Solution ?
    Any Tip ?
    Any Question ?

    Not knowing how much RAM is installed in your iMac, your iMac can take a total of 8 GBs of RAM.
    Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I would strongly suggest installing the maximum 8 GBs of RAM.
    Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    Here is OWC's link to your model iMac and the RAM modules you will need.macsales
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/8566DDR3S8GP/
    You can purchase and download OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store in the OS X dock.
    Before installing, it would be prudent to make a backup copy of all of your important data or your entire current system. Either using, optical discs, USB flash drives or external hard drives.
    This is too insure protection of your data in case something goes wrong with the install of OS X Mountain Lion.
    Good Luck!

    Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
    Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

    Mac OS X Lion has dropped support for Rosetta, the feature that allowed you to run PowerPC apps on previous OS X systems. Check if you can find a newer version of the app you are trying to run that supports Intel processors.
    What application are you trying to run? Maybe I can help you find a version that runs on Lion.

  • Can I upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ ??

    I was wondering if I could upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ or at a lower cost than full price. I do not need to upgrade that much because 10.4.11 is so great and I hate to leave it. Paying the full price of an operating system does not make sense to me. Can I do it cheaply because I am upgrading?

    No.
    The $29 upgrade is from leopard to Snow Leopard.

    The first two things I recommend is boot from your installer dvd or external bootable drive and repair/verify your drives with Disk Utility (not repair permissions) and do a smc and pram reset.
    Also make sure you have at least 20GB to 25GB free space on your boot volume for OS operations.
