Ctrl + numbers switch between spaces doesn't work in lion

After a fresh install of Lion I'veexperienced strange behavior in mission control. I copied all my apps,documents, settings, etc. from SL to Lion but I noticed something different in Lion. Before I changed spaces by using ctrl+number-keys but for some reasonthis doesn’t work in Lion for me. It does nothing. When I hold down ctrl anduse the arrow-key it scrolls to the next space with a smooth animation. Afterthis and still holding the ctrl-key and pressing a number-key (3 for instance)it does jump to that space with a faster animation. But after releasing thectrl-key and trying it again without any arrow keys involved it doesn’t work atall. Is there anyone hew is experiencing the same problem? Anyone with a possibleexplanation or a way to solve this issue? I’m wondering if this has somethingto do with the clean install because my father did an upgrade from SL to Lionand ctrl+number-keys to switch between spaces works fine for him.
Thanks in advance,

Go to the Keyboard preference pane -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control and check to see if you have the ^ + number keys set.

  • Four finger swiping between spaces doesn't work in Mountain Lion

    I have my magic trackpad settings to include 3 finger dragging which means that activating Mission Control, or swiping between full screen apps and spaces requires 4 fingers.  I have a MBP running Mountain Lion and it works fine, but on a MBA connected to a thunderbolt display and using a magic trackpad, it doesn't work.  I can 4 finger swipe for Mission Control, but I cannot swipe between full screen apps and spaces using 4 fingers.  The only way it will work is to disable the 3 finger drag, and set it to use 3 finger swipes for moving between full screen apps and spaces.
    Am I missing something?  I don't think so.

    I already have that checked.  All settings are correct.  The weird thing is, that with those settings turned on, four finger swiping reacts like 2 finger swiping, except for engaging Mission Control.  So, on a properly working machine, no matter what app is open, four finger swiping left to right will take me between spaces.  BUT, on this machine four finger swiping left to right over a browser will make the browser pages go back and forth.  I have all the settings set exactly like all my other Macs.  It's only this one machine that is using the magic trackpad that is not working correctly.
    New batteries are installed, and I have no other issues with the trackpad.  It seems like a software bug.  This MBA does have FileVault turned on.  I'm wondering if that's an issue.

  • Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
    I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
    It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

    Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

  • Slower switching between Spaces

    It seems Apple made the speed of switching between Spaces (with 4 fingers to the left/right) slower on edges. Now it's "landing" much slower than in Lion. It's rather frustrating.
    I tried to find Terminal hacks to fix this but none of them worked for me.

    Command defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -float 0.1 doesn't work out.

  • Keyboard shortcuts to switch between search engines stopped working

    The latest version of Firefox looks great but unfortunately the keyboard shortcuts that I use all the time to switch between search engines stopped working which leaves me stuck with version 33.1.
    I'm talking about the shortcuts Ctrl + ↑ and Ctrl + ↓ described in this page:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#w_search
    Please solve this! Thanks.

    This worked perfectly, many thanks!!!

  • I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

    What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....

  • The 7 key doesn't work after lion install

    The 7 key on my MacBook pro keyboard doesn't work following lion installation. (I'm using my iPad right now obviously!)
    When I press 7, basically random stuff will come out. A set of 3 to 5 random numbers or some "command" that whatever program I am in doesn't recognize. 
    I tried rebooting. I have no idea where to even begin, help!

    And of course this morning all keys are back to working again! But last night it was 7, J, U gibberish.
    At first glance it does seem like something that might be a hardware problem, but I am deeply suspicious of coincidences like this. I'm kind of like house md that way I guess.  Especially when at least two of us experienced this.
    I think I will also wait for the next software update and see if that helps.  At least I have my iPad to use when the keys are on the fritz.
    Good luck!

  • My SuperDrive doesn't work after Lion update

    My Superdrive doesn't work after Lion update, i have tried a few solutions that i found in forums, but nothing seems to work, please help me shed some light on my problem.
    Thanks

    I too have had the problem since updating to Lion.  My superdrive isn't even recognized.  I have repaid hard disk permissions and also reset PRAM.  Sure wish I had a fix. 

  • Apple Modem (for dialup) doesn't work in Lion. Why?

    We have no acceptable alternatives for dialup where I live here. Even dialup is difficult. But the Apple Modem does not work in Lion!
    Anyone know why Apple did that?
    And what alternative is there for us (other than resinstalling Snow Leopard).
    Does Apple not know that there are still PLENTY of places with poor or non-existent Internet services?
    Does anyone know of an option?
    Using a MacBookPro, but the problem appears to be Lion so the hardware would not seem to matter...

    Hint:  Look in the upper right hand corner

  • Is it true MS Office doesn't work with Lion?

    I just purchased OSX Lion and while it was downloading I began to read the reviews.  I saw multiple comments that MS Office doesn't work with Lion.  I forced a shutdown on my MacBook Pro because I couldn't see any other way to stop the LIon download.  Now with it back on, the download is paused.  I don't want to resume it until I find out if it's true about office.  Any help?

    Len , MS2008 does require Rosetta. Ms2011 does not.
    W7ox, I tried 2 different licenses. I have 12 licenses here on site. I resorted to reading it straight off the box and still no joy. Very strange!
    Incidently. I can not access the Snow leopard Server either via the normal 'Go' and 'connect to Server'.
    Have tried afp and SMB. no joy.
    I am wondering if the ethernet Dinlge adpater to the Rj45 connector has any hardware issues?? will keep expeirmenting and any feedback appreciated, as I am NOT going ahead with any Lion updates on 12 macs until I know more about its bugs! ciao

  • Switch between Tabs doesn't seem to work in Leopard!

    I just got an IMAC which runs Leopard ( previously was running Tiger on Macbbook pro).
    Anybody here know why the old:
    ctrl + tab or Command + tilda key
    dont work to switch between application tabs?
    Im not talking about the usual Command + TAB key which switches apps!!!!
    I'm meaning if im in Photoshop, Flash or any other program that has multiple windows and i want to switch to a different document, i'd normally use Command + ~(tilda).
    Its a pain now to have to switch between Application windows + Tabs by manually going to the dropdown menu and selecting that window!!!!
    PLEASE ANYBODY TELL ME WHY APPLE HAS DISABLED THIS FEATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ah never thought of actually going into keyboard preferences!
    all works now! There is a setting in keyboard preferences called 'keyboard navigation'
    I must of unchecked the 'focus tabs' box when i disabled the f1-12 keys so they can be used for program shortcuts instead of the volume + music track changer that are built onto IMAC keyboards. . . . . .
    It all works now! Thanks.

  • Switching between playlist used to work - now doesn't

    Hi guys,
    Was wondering if this has something to do with the controller of the ipod shuffle.
    My ipod shuffle used to work just fine in terms of shuffling, forward, ordered, etc.
    Now I can't seem to switch between playlist. I can hear all of the playlist names though. but just can't play them. i can go forward between the playlist as well...just not choose it. there is no beep sound when i pressed the centre button.
    Tried restore.. not working.
    You think it's the remote maybe? Maybe i switched around the playlist too much or something. Broke the centre button

    I don't know if this is the exact same problem or not -- but I noticed after upgrading my shuffle to 1.1 that after holding the button to invoke the listing of playlists, some of my play lists were no longer being listed. I made sure they were on the shuffle, and I even restored my shuffle completely, etc, to try and get it to work. It refused to list them so I could not navigate to those playlists.
    Then I realized something -- the shuffle was always in "shuffle" mode when I did this -- on a lark, I switched it to non-shuffle mode (first switch position), and listed playlists again, and there they were.
    In fact, the playlists that were not being listed consisted solely of tracks with the "Skip when Shuffling" flag set (they were podcasts and audio books.
    The 1.1 update silently (to my knowledge) made this change, which while perhaps logical is a little frustrating. To be honest however, the pre 1.1 behavior was almost as frustrating -- it would list the all playlists in either mode, but if you were in shuffle mode, and you chose a play list with tracks marked as Skip when Shuffling, the player would just jump randomly into the "All Songs" playlist.
    Hope this helps and is relevant to this thread.
    Cheers,
    Ron

  • HT201272 Can't download any apps.  I have 2 itunes accounts, and happened to switch between them, now neither works.

    I can't download apps from appstore.  I have 2 itunes accounts and happened to have switched between them last night, now neither works.  Someone broke into my original account and racked up charges, Apple closed it for me and suggested I open a new one,which I did, then they reinstated the original account.  Some apps need to go to the second account to update since I had to resort to the new account while Apple took several months to figure out what happened, so I am stuck switching on occassion to update apps.  When I went back to the primary account, I cannot download anything.  I tried quitting both accounts, but nothing works.  Help please!

  • Belkin HDMI Switch - Apple TV doesn't work?!!

    Hi all,
    I have just bought myself a Belkin HDMI 3 port switch
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TM026B/A
    I've plugged it all in and my PS3 works through it, I plugged my PowerBook into it (using DVI-HDMI cable) and they work great and yet plugging my ATV into doesn't work. I've tried unplugging the ATV and Switch and then turning them back on again but still no luck.
    I don't suppose anyone has any advice?

    It seems that Apple TV doesn't support many HDMI switches!
    Just in case anyone else comes across this problem then it would seem that the only switch to buy is the OPPO HM-31.
