Expose puts all windows on one screen?

SHORT VERSION: When I have my MBP hooked up to a 2nd monitor, sometime when I invoke the "all windows" mode in Exposé, it puts all the windows one one screen (usually the larger second screen) -- meanwhile if there are any minimized windows, it will "stack" them on the second screen at full size.
* This doesn't happen all the time. And I haven't quite figured out what conditions "cause" it.
* If I restart, the problem goes away.
* Mousing over a window only works correctly on the second screen (trying to hover over a window on the screen with the "minimized" windows -- those don't respond)
Thoughts?

You should fit 16 spaces of apps/folder icons per page. So, from your post, what is happening is that on page 1 you have 3 rows of 4 apps each then 1 row of 2 apps. On page 2 you have 1 app.
You can easily fix this via iTunes. Connect your iPod Touch to iTunes and to the following:
1. Touch and hold the app icon that you want to move (In this case it would be your sole icon on page2)
2. This will put you in edit mode for apps while they will all begin to shake
3. Grap the app with your finger and move it to the left edge of the screen
4. This will move it to page 1 and then you can place it wherever you want
Now you will all 15 apps on page 1.

Move Window from One Screen to the Other

With multi-monitor setup, is there a shortcut key to move a window from one screen to another? This is about the only thing I miss from my old days of using a PC.
Way too lazy to drag
Thanks!

no, there isn't and I don't believe you can possibly make one. I don't know how this works in windows but os x would need to know where exactly to put a window on the other screen. since screens often have different sizes that would be impossible. besides, with extended desktop there is no actual separation between the screens and a window can be partly on one screen and partly on the other.
I'm afraid you are just going to have to drag.

Missing Feature in Lion: Expose for all Windows

Hello!
I've written a feedback to apple, that says it all:
=================================================
Since Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) there was one Feature removed,
which was a very important time saver for me:
Expose for all Windows
I'm missing this feature very much. In Mission Control you only see one window completly of every app, the other window are hidden behind. You can't entirely see, what is in that windows behind. There isn't a text Info when you float the mouse pointer over the window.
In Mac OS X 10.6. (Snow Leopard) I loved this time saving feature. I would be so happy and grateful, if this feature were to resurface in Mac OS X 10.8. (Mountain Lion).
Please let "Expose all Windows" return! :-)
=================================================
What do you think about it? Should / Could Expose return in the next Mac OS X? (I hope so)
Greetings from Germany,
Matthias B.

Hello Rysz and Captfred!
Rysz:
I already have send this to Apple feedback.
Captfred:
There are two problems:
1. I want to see all windows of all applications at once.
2. Even the windows seperate a little bit, there are (even with only three Windows) most parts of the windows hidden because of the front window shown.
Greetings,
Matthias B.

Viewing many windows on one screen

Hi, I would like to be able to view a few windows on one screen so I don't have to minimize & maximize etc when working with a few things. Someone set it up on my computer using hot corners but I didn't like those corners so I turned them off. Any advice is appreciated. I am not using an apple keyboard.

You can either drag them side-by-side and work on them simultaneously or use Expose with the F9, F10 and F11 keys.

Problems with data merge (CS4) - puts all fields in one

Data merge is acting very weird, I have a standard textfile of six columns exported to .csv. When I import it in InDesign it puts all fields in one place (see image) and it becomes totally useless. Has anyone had this problem and if so, how did you solve it?
Thank you!

It is a regular textfile (http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1k0bmos4r2l7lCtegA1CGHIcw98jrM
) divided into columns...

I took a look at the image, now that it's out of the queue, and the

App expose - only show windows in one desktop?

Just curious if anyone has found a way to get app expose to only show windows in the current desktop in Lion.
In SL if you input the following terminal command then when you activated app expose it would only show you windows for that app in the current space instead of all open windows in all spaces.
defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces -bool FALSE
Mission Control has replaced all window expose and is currently the only way to see everything that is going on within a single desktop (with the exception of minimized windows). But unlike All window expose, with mission control you can't easily see individual windows of a single app. Only App expose now provides this function. If I have 6 pdfs open on one desktop and another 6 pdfs open in another desktop (and presumably since I'm using 2 desktops I'm using these pdfs for different purposes) if I want to quickly switch to one of them using some form of expose it is really easy to accidentally switch to the other desktop (which I find very jarring and disruptive to my workflow).
Please note I am not trying to bash Mission Control. I actually don't mind it. I was just curious if anyone had found a similar terminal command or hack that restored the functionality of restricting app expose to a single space in Lion.
Thanks in advance!

Just chiming in to say I'd like to see a fix for this too. I put different windows onto different desktops because they're part of a completely separate work flow; when I use Application Exposé, I don't want to see windows from a different task entirely.

How do I get my apps all on the one screen.

I want all my apps icons to appear on the one screen, without scrolling to the right, I have put the into sub-categories.

Tap and hold down on an app icon until it "wiggles". Then hold down on the icon to drag it around the screen. If you drag one icon onto another, you create a folder. If you want to move the app to the screen to the left, hold down on the wiggling icon and drag it to the left side of the screen and hold it about halfway over to the next screen - just hold it for a couple of seconds - and it will jump to the screen to the left.

Various SAP sessions/windows on one screen

Hi Gurus.
Can anyone help me with the following.
I have been asked to explore the possibility of having various SAP sessions/windows displayed on one screen. This should work out by creating a variant or other utility that can call several transactions and display all the sessions on one screen.
For example, you can have the following transactions SM04, SM66, SM37 & ST02 being called from one variant and display all the 4 sessions in one screen.
Is this possible or can it be achieved.
Points will be awarded.

How to make finder to open all windows in one?

Hi,
As you all know, in the Finder, if you open any folder, it opens that folder in a new finder window. I'm very tidy and have many files in many others in many others in many others,,, at the end of the day, I'm stuck with like 10 finder windows to close one by one. I wanted to know how I could set my finder to open everything in the same window, please advise.
Thank you so much in advance.

You can also use the Option key productively.
While in Finder...
If you hold the Option key down while clicking the Close button for a Finder window (such as a folder's window), all Finder windows will be closed. This works within most programs, too.
If you hold down the Option key while opening a folder that's nested inside another folder, the enclosing folder will be closed as the one clicked on is opened. This is a handy way to keep things neat as you step down into a hierarchical nest of folders.
If you are in Program A and hold down the Option key while clicking in a window for Program B, you will switch to Program B and all windows for Program A will be hidden. This works with Finder, too, whether Finder is Program A or Program B in that sequence.
If you hold down Option-Command while clicking in the window of another program, all windows for all other running programs will be closed. Exception - although this will also close Finder windows, it won't blank the Desktop.

How do I force a JDialog to appear on top of all windows on my screen?

My CAD software at work has a Java API that I've wrote an app for. I have to display everything in a modal JDialog so that it doesn't conflict with the CAD software. The one problem is when my CAD software launches the dialog it appears behind the CAD window. How can I force the dialog window to be on top of every window on the screen? toFront() doesn't work.
For whatever reason the dialog window is opening unselected while my CAD screen is still the active window in Windows. Is there a way to have a Java app select which window is active in a Windows session? Thanks.

Turns out this a quirk of the CAD software's Java API. I found it by chance in the 500+ page User's Guide. They suggest the work around of hitting Alt-Tab to select the dialog. So I'm not sure if theress a property that I can assign to the dialog to make it appear on top. The line I have is:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JFrame(), nameOfModels, "Models in Session", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);The parent JFrame is created only for when the dialog is opened. I can't create a bonafide parent JFrame for the Java API forbids multiple threads. I'm going to continue searching for some type of workaround. One possibility is to have a keyStroke make the Alt-Tab however this may be problematic. Thanks for the response.

Preview exposé (F10) puts all windows in-line, why?

Hey all, here's the scenario. I open up a bunch of PDFs that I'd like to read in Preview, and then hit F10 (application Exposé). All the windows show up in one line instead of all over the screen. This is annoying as it forces the windows to be much smaller than they would really have to be, to a point where some windows are on top of each other in the Exposé.
Screenshot: http://tinyurl.com/5vs2o6
Anyone know why this is the case? Is this the way it is meant to be? Or does anyone else think this is a problem? Thanks!

Same thing happens on my computer, so I suppose it is set up like that.

6.0.1 update lost default window sizing and all windows open full screen now, why and how do I get my original window sizes back?

After updating Firefox to version 6.0.1, all browser windows open in full screen size. I need new browser windows to open in their original default size since I use a website for work that opens multiple browser windows.
I used to be able to fix this problem by renaming my localstore.rdf file in my profile and then restarting Firefox but this does not seem to work in this last update.
This appears to be a recurring problem for Firefox and it's extremely frustrating.

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. So it could be that an extension is causing it. You can try to isolate it starting with script blockers and similar extensions and '''Disable''' or '''Remove''' it.
Please also note that safe mode also disables hardware acceleration: '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''': '''Use hardware acceleration when possible'''.

Import to library puts all files in one folder

Okay I got my library messed up during the iPhoto'09 to iPhoto'11 upgrade. I know there is way to fix it but I thought I might as well start over with a fresh new library and import all my photos into it to avoid any further issues.
In my old iPhoto library the photos are organized under Originals by YEAR and then EVENTS (in my case date of picture taken). I copied the "Originals" folder from my old library and put it on the desktop.
I then created a new empty library with iPhoto'11 and now tried to import the pictures from the folder on the desktop. It all worked about 6,000 pictures but it didn't quiet organize them as I wanted.
If I look into the new library there is now a "Masters" folder which contains only one other folder which is 2010 which only contains one other one which is "10" and that contains "16" - so obviously the date 2010-10-16 and then all events are in this last folder.
It seems importing has the result of the folder structure being based on the date of import, rather the date of picture taken.
Does anybody know a way how I can get this do import and create folder structure based on date of picture taken?
Thanks!

You can not
the file/folder structure within the iPhoto library is not a user controlled item - it is controlled by iPhoto and must be left as is - simply put there are no suer serviceable (or controllable) parts in the iPhoto library
And there is no need for you to control (or even be aware) of the iPhoto library structure - you should not be going directly into the iPhoto library and the OS access tools know the current structure and use it so you do not have to
If you are concerned about accessing your photos click here for a discussion on the many correct and safe ways to access your iPhoto library photos.

HT2474 how to minimize all windows in one entry

How do i Minimize all open windows at the same time.
(minimize them into the dock)

Hi there,
Actually it doesn't!
I'm on latest OSX - F11 lowers the volume!
However, I think you have assigned your F keys as standard function keys but even so, if you press F11 or fn + F11, you do not minimise the windows - you just spread them away. As soon as you open an app, all the screens come back!
What the original poster's question is "Is there a way of minimising ALL the windows at the same time onto the dock?"
Your method doesn't do that because if you look closely, the windows are at the top and on the side AND NOT IN THE DOCK.
