Expose shortcuts stuck on lion

Expose shortcuts stuck on lion. I had fn made as shortcut to show desktop. Now I can't remove that shortcut as it's nowhere near all the shortcuts in Keyboard or Mission Control sections. Also my right Command key is also a shortcut. I think an Appliaction Window. I don't really remember setting that one, but I can't be 100% sure I didn't. Anyway, is there any possible way to remove those shortcuts?

I have the same issue, it's reducing my productivity way too much!

Spaces in Expose on OS X Lion - feature removed/updated?

Was the spaces feature updated/removed from Expose? I can't seem to get the multiple displays grid you get with spaces. It's all jumbled up in one big window looking very messy. Please help - many thanks!

I also miss the grid layout of spaces. In fact, I'm considering downgrading back to Snow Leopard just to get it back. I used to use command+arrow keys to move around in my grid of spaces. I used to use a hot corner to initiate spaces, then another hot corner to initiate expose while "zoomed out" in spaces. I used to be able to click any window of any app in any space and move it to any other space. I used to be able to move an entire space to another location.
Now I've upgraded to Lion and I cannot do any of that. Serious downgrade, serious loss of efficiency. I've taken the time to learn how Lion handles all this. I've taken the time to change options to try to make MC more efficient. Simply put, it's a downgrade that breaks something great from Snow Leopard.
For example: Initiate Mission Control while on desktop 1 and I see a window on desktop 2 that I want on desktop 3. In order to move that, I have to first switch to desktop 2, initiate MC, then move the app. Not to mention, if that window were under another window, I'd not be able to see it at all!
For example: In SL, to go from space 1 to 9 on a 3x3 layout, I could use command+right, down, down, right. On Lion, I have to use comand+right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. seriously? Sure, I could use command+9 (if that's even where Lion decided it wanted to keep the app!), but I prefer the efficiency of using 1 hand to do the keyboard shortcut.
Tell Apple you want the option of having spaces in a grid again. Who knows, maybe if enough of us do, they'll bring it back: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Maximising windows and important Keyboard Shortcuts in Mountain Lion

Hi - just two questions related to the behaviour of Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
When you minimise a window in Mac OS X, it shrinks down and sits next to the trash. When you want to access it again, you simply click on it and it is maximised again. Can anyone explain to me why, when I have multiple windows open and one minimised, Mac OS X does not always present me with the minimised window when I click on it in the dock? It flicks to another window. This mainly happens when I'm using Word for Mac. To clarify, say I have documents A, B and C open. A and B are both maximised with A at the front and C is minimised. When I click on C to maximise it, there is a short delay and suddenly B appears at the front. So OS X doesn't even take me back to the document I was just viewing, but the random document that just happened to be open in the background. Frustrating enough when I only have three documents open - I'm often using many more and the problem is even more noticeable.
Another frustration I have is not being able to browse quickly between document windows. Windows has a convenient Ctrl+Tab function that allows you to flick between all open windows. OS X has a poor imitation which only allows switching between windows of different applications. If I want to switch between windows of the same application, Cmd+Tab will not allow me to do this. Is there another keyboard shortcut in Mac OS X that will? In previous versions of OS X, I resigned myself to using expose to account for the lack of this function, but now with mission control, all windows are clumped together according to their application - a nice organisational idea in theory perhaps, but rendering mission control completely useless for the functions which expose provided. What am I meant to do if I just happen to want to access the seventh document window that I have open? Mission control shows me barely a sliver of the window's border and no detail of the content whatsoever.
Are there solutions to these problems that inhibit workflow so badly? Are there a whole range of window-switching functions which I simply do not know of? Surely such awkwardness was not what mac is aiming for when designing Moutain Lion.
Any advice much appreciated.

You can choose to not minimize windows into the app in the Dock System prefs. That will leave it in the Dock as a separate window.
You can cycle between application windows using cmd-`, however they don't cycle to minimized windows.
On a US keyboard, that key is right above the tab key. It is in various other places on other keyboard layouts.
You can change the shortcut in the Keyboard & Text Input section of Keyboard Shortcuts (Keyboard System Prefs). I believe you used to be able to cycle through Minimized windows, but someone decided you minimized them to get them out of the way and removed them from the cycling.
About the only way is to activate Application Exposé and then arrow down to the minimized windows.
When a window is highlighted, you can hit the space bar to "Qucicklook" the window. The Arrow keys will then cycle between minimized windows.

Stuck in Lion installation *LIMBO* - disk damaged, disk wont repair, disk is locked, wont revert back to snow leopard

I'm stuck in Limbo. I cant complete the install and cant revert back to snow leopard. All I have are the installer utilites (including safari).
I'm running a summer 2009 release macbook pro 17 inch. I downloaded the Lion install app and proceeded to follow the instructions and guided. After less than a minute the install stopped to say that it could not be completed because the hard disk is damaged and can’t be repaired.
So...I went to disc utility to verify the disk and this is what I got.
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking file systemPerforming live verification.
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
Incorrect number of file hard links
Bad hard link creation date
(It should be 3325742596 instead of 3340504404)
Hard link record has data extents (id = 2888169)
Checking multi-linked files.
The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
So I put in my Snow Leopard disk and went to repair disk. Now, THIS is what I got.
Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
So then I wanted to go back to Snow Leopard at least, but I cant. When I go to “Startup Disk” and select my Mac 10.6.8 drive, it says:
You can’t change the startup disk from the selected disk.
Startup Disk could not gather enough information on Selected Disk.
So that’s annoying because it keeps me stuck in that installation "limbo" - not able to finish installing and not able to go back.
I restarted, holding down the OPTION key, but it only gave me one boot selection - the installer itself.
So then I try yet again to install this thing because there’s not much else I can do...but now it won’t even start installing...when the installer screen asks which drive I want to install it on, for which I would of course choose my Macintosh HD, it says in subscript underneath Macintosh HD:
“This disk is locked” and it wont let me select the “continue” button to begin the installation.
Please help, someone.

phew, just got everything back to "normal"
I turned off my mac for about 10 minutes and then started it up again. Also I think this time i inserted my snow leopard disc at just the right time, not too early not too late.
Whatever it was, when i went to "Startup Disk" the snow leopard disc showed up!
So then I went to disk utility after booting the snow leopard installer for the first time. It said it repaired one thing but then stopped and said it couldnt repair it and told me to back up and reformat.
Then I just ran a simple verify again and it said the HD was "OK" - it gave me a clean bill of health?!?!
So then I went to startup disk again, and was finally able to get out of limbo and back to good old snow leopard.
Now I'll install Lion, but taking all cautions beforehand...maybe i'll wait a few days first though.
Thanks to everyone.

How do I change the cmd w (close window) shortcut on OSX Lion?

Hi,
I have a macbook air running on OSX Lion, and I can't find the way to change the shortcut cmd+w...
I need those keys for another application without quiting it every now and then, and I can't add or modify any of those controls. Can somebody help me with this?

Thank you for the clarification. Customizing the folder icon,
open your picture you want on the folder with Preview. command -A will select all the picture, command- C will copy.
Open the info pane of the folder without opening the folder, highlite the icon in upper left of the info pane (command- i to open info pane,) and command -v will paste it.
Not all formats work if my memory serves me. PNG files ( like a screen shot) certainly do.

Hi,
This might help:
Adobe Forums: Finding and customizing keyboard shortcuts
In Lion you will need to find a way to get into the Library folder which is hidden. One methode would be to use the Goto command and paste the thread: (your main harddrive name)/users/userfolder/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0
If that doesn't work right away then reduce the thread back until your in the hiden Library folder and then look for a Premiere Pro folder.

"cmd right" shortcut not in Lion

So, after installing Lion on my laptop, the "cmd + left" and the "cmd + right" shortcuts are not working. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Ah.
CMD-right arrow and CMD-left arrow are working for me (in Mail). So is OPTION-arrow to move one word at a time.
What application are you having problems with this in?
Cheers,

Black MacBook stuck mid-Lion install

I have a Black MacBook (4,1), the early 2008 model.
It's current state is that I am mid-install of a app store provided version of Lion - it was at the restart point, and I cannot get past the spinning gear. I let it go for hours.
It also will not work in Target Mode. Disk utility sees nothing. System Profiler on the host mac sees an "Unknown Volume" on the firewire bus.
I tried to boot from a number of disks: Snow Leopard, Tiger, and the original 10.5 disks that shipped with the laptop. No dice.
I did do a key command that showed me what the startup disk is presently called - it identifies itself as the Lion Installer. So my original Hard Drive is not even advertising itself right now.
So I am stuck. I've run the Apple Hardware test - the extended one. No problems found.
I've pulled the battery, held down the power button for 5 secs. nothing.
I've tried to launch in Safe Mode. Won't do it - it stays on the spinning gear.
I am able to launch in Single user mode, so my hope is that there are some commands that could reset my mac from whatever plagues it to at least boot it so I can extricate the data and deal with the laptop's viability secondarily.
I deeply appreciate any and all advice. Thanks very much.
Best,
David

ITunes download stuck in Lion

I can't seem to download the iTunes update in Lion... It's stuck at 58.3 MB of 83.4 MB with a remaining time of "About 10 seconds".
It's been stuck like that for about 20 minutes...

Nevermind. It's working now.

Upgrade to 10.4.11 now Expose shortcut keys do not work

I upgraded about a week ago, and noticed the F-9 - F-12 keys not working. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Rich

Hi Steve. Not exactly sure what you've suggested to do. System Preferences > Dashboard & Expose shows the default keys selected i.e. All Windows F-9, Application Windows F-10, Desktop F-11 and Dashboard F-12. System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse show the above shortcut keys all checked for Dock, Expose & Dashboard. Button 3 on the mouse is also selected for the Dashboard and it does nothing. The mouse does scroll using button 3.

Stuck in Lion installation

Hi there,
Purchased Lion this morning, downloaded it, installed it. It got going and kernel panicked everytime it got to about 75% through. Tried clearing PRAM. This brought me to the Lion recovery suite ("Mac OS X Utilities"). I can no longer get back, and it kernel panics when I try to install. When I attempt to recover the disk, it says that it verifies. Out of desperation, erased the disk (nothing important on there). I am still stuck, and it kernel panics when I try to install.
What are my options? Am I stuck with Snow Leopard?

phew, just got everything back to "normal"
I turned off my mac for about 10 minutes and then started it up again. Also I think this time i inserted my snow leopard disc at just the right time, not too early not too late.

Keyboard shortcuts with Mountain Lion?

You know how with iPad and iPhone there are keyboard shortcuts? i.e.: you can type I'll be right with you and make the shortcut "BRB" - Can you do that with mountain lion? Would be very convenient

Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Text
Use the + button in the lower left to add as many text substitution associations as you need.
Comment - it would be well to use Replace entries using combinations that would not otherwise appear in normal typing.

Installing stuck mountain lion

Hy guys,
I have got a problem and I'm getting crazy.
I just downloaded mountain lion on MAS, but everytime I try to install after 1 minutes the installation stops and appears a message which to say (impossible to verify this copy, the copy could be damage during the download).
What I can do???
let me know guys

This has worked for some people:
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store. Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy. It won't charge you again.
