Expose not working with auto-login off

I've been using Snow Leopard with auto-login logging into my user. However, I recently decided to turn auto-login off so someone couldn't just turn on my computer and be logged in as me.
When I do this, expose functionality ceases to work once I'm logged in. The track pad and the button (f3) do not execute expose functionality.
If I change my settings back to auto-login to my user, everything is fine again.
Any ideas?

try resetting your dock preferences which contain exposé settings. delete the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults. configure them and see if it works ok now.

Expose not working with MS Wireless Keyboard.........

I've gone wireless with my keyboard/mouse. I take the video output from my PowerBook and plug it into a ginormous plasma screen, then string a USB cable 'round the room and attach a Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard (and Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0). This setup works FANTASTIC (especially the awesome zoom feature on the mouse!!), except now I can't get any of the Mac OS Expose features to work. The function keys on this keyboard seem to have alternate functions set as primary, and there doesn't seem to be a way to generate a plain old F11.
Any ideas?
Tnx!
allen

Microsoft makes software for their keyboards that allows you to set up the keys all kinds of ways, both for the whole system and and for individual programs. Go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=70fd6d93-d5c1-443a-b157 -cd7ef20ff4d8&DisplayLang=en
I almost bought a Microsoft keyboard when I found out about this but went with something else instead.

Expose not working with WoW

After installing Snow Leopard I lost the functionality of using expose while in maximized windowed mode of World of Warcraft. Being a huge fan of expose and a regular wow player this is a huge loss of functionality for me, I'm considering downgrading back to 10.5. I'm not alone in this issue, a thread was started on the WoW forums pertaining to this issue: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19595730042&sid=1. Please give us back expose!!!

It's a known bug I believe.
You can press cmd-m and put it into non maximized window mode, and then use spaces/expose, and then press it again to go back. It's a pain, but I think its the only way at the moment.
And I don't think anyone from Apple is on these forums so... you're complaint may fall to deaf ears
On a somewhat related note, a while ago (before leopard i believe) I saw a video showing off spaces on the apple website where it was in the "4 window mode" of spaces, and one window had WoW playing, and another had safari or something, but In my experience, when it goes in that mode, the correct window appears as though it's blank.

GPS does not appear to work with data-roaming off and no wi-fi network

I have been using an application called imarkmyspot to produce way-points for synchronising with my camera. When I am in my home country this works fine and a GPS location is found quickly.
I've recently been abroad and had data-roaming turned off to avoid high expense. The point is that in this situation the GPS does not work (with imarkmyspot or Goggle Maps) unless I can access an open wi-fi network.
So my question is, is this correct? Does GPS only work with either data access on or when within range of an open wi-fi network.
If this is feature (bug) of the iPhone then this makes applications such as imarkmyspot rather useless when travelling. Alternatively it could be imarkmyspot that has this problem of course. But I'm quite sure Google Maps did not work either in this situation either.

The iPhone's GPS does work without a data connection.
Two weeks ago on a work-related trip I knew I'd be traveling a rural highway that would leave me without data/voice from any source for at least 45 minutes (no GSM service). Before leaving a city with data, I zoomed out using Google Maps far enough to show most of my route, then "nudged" the map so the application wouldn't try to get a data update for the map. I simply used the top power button to turn on and off the screen. The iPhone and GMaps tracked me through for the entire blacked-out section of my trip - I made sure the device had a decent view of the sky and it got a fix and nailed the location within a few seconds.
Ironically, I'm returning that device in the next few hours for an exchange. The GPS hardware, it seems, has failed about a week ago - the device gets A-GPS fixes now (it shows the nearby 3G and EDGE towers), but won't lock in for more than a second or two. My iPhone's GPS worked, and now it doesn't - AppleCare told me my GPS hardware has failed - and you're may be exhibiting the same failure.
Some A-GPS devices use their sources to get close by - like my TomTom GO and the ephemeris files it grabs from their servers to get updates on where satellite locations are - and then use the on-board chip to nail the device's position. From what I understand of the iPhone's assistance mechanism, the data tower's and Wi-Fi physical location needs to be correct and available in an accessible database somewhere - my iPhone was showing me near Houston TX (2200 mi/3500 km distant from my actual location) when using 3G data until the data source was updated.

Norton Login is not working with the upgrade from firefox. Not too happy about this

I upgraded to the new firefox. I have a lap top with vista windows.
Norton Login does not work with this version. Can you please explain to me how to fix this problem. Much preferred the last version of firefox.

You need an update from Norton, which Norton says will be ready in May.

Auto-capitalization not working with apple wireless keyboard?

My ipad settings have auto-cap on. When using the on-screen keyboard the auto-cap works. When I switch to the wireless apple keyboard auto capitalization fails to work.
Any suggestions?
Does anyone have the wireless apple keyboard working with auto cap on iPad?

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have the same issue but mine also includes the period shortcut.
If I am hooked up to my keyboard the auto stuff doesn't work even if I manually tap the screen to type.
The fact that this does not work is the issue - not laziness in relying on shortcuts. This needs to be fixed.

Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail. It had worked perfect since May 2007. Just started having problems End of April 2008. Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than: imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either. I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5 or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync. I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away. Please help...
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon.
It started about 1 month ago. The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers. They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product. I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free. It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone. The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time. Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating. With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message. If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with. They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL. It's just hard to cut the cord. The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL. It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me.
On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mail-client
there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward. Or how far away that is.
I tried wireless sync and hated it.
This is really a pain in the butt.
*** Who did you speak to at AOL?
*** How did you reach them? e-mail? phone #?
I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

Re: auto save not working with microsoft office on OS Lion

Is there anyone else having issues with the auto-save/versions not working with Microsoft office on the OS Lion Upgrade?

It seems (from some testing I've just done) that:
1. It's not an explicit choie or preference - it's just there, in the background, invisible
2. Your textedit document has to have been saved once (i.e given a name), or you've reopened a previously saved document
If those conditions are met, Textedit will keep the doc saved.
My test was:
Open existing docuement
Make changes
Wait a few seconds
Quit Textedit
Reopen Textedit - and there's the doc with all the changes.
I ran the test again, quitting Textedit immeditaley I had made the change - and it saved the change successfully.
Hope that helps

The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you. It is owned by your friend.
I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do. Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

Do you have some idea ....
Bye.

I have done the following:
Downloaded the patched hal version.
used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
have i done something wrong?
br fjodork
WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
pacman -Rd hal
it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
options=('!libtool')
install=hal.install
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
hal
hal-policy.patch
cryptsetup_location.patch
hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
'882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
'5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era
