Expose won't display all applications

Hello,
Expose on my 2.3 GHz i5 Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) will not open all windows.  When I hit F3 or perform the Expose gesture on my trackpad, only minimized applications appear.  I can cycle through active applications by clicking on the icons in the Dock or command+tab-ing while Expose is open, but I can't show them all at once.  Spaces is disabled. Any help is appreciated!
Best,
-Nathan

Okay so I've checked that.  I can start expose, but my active applications are somehow hidden.
Above is a screen capture with expose on.  I'm sure that I'm just missing some setting that hides the active windows.  Curiously enough, it does show applications that have been minimized, as shown below:
Notice I have many active applications, yet it only shows ones that are minimized.  As stated in the original post, I can cycle though the applications as well; I just can't show them all on this macbook, like I can on any other copy of OS x.

  • PDF won't display all pages

    I'm having problems with a PDF I'm generating, I'm using the presets, never have had the problem before, but some of the pages won't display, there's only a white page. Has anyone else had this problem before? How did you work around it?
    Thanks!

    Here is a GoogleDocs PDF of the particular PDF I'm having issue with: https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BzFhXCwCx4SzZDhiN2FjZWEtM2IyNS00Njg4LWI5NTQtNTc5ZDVlM GNhNWVk&hl=en

  • [SOLVED] ePDFView won't display all pictures

    I'm having some issues with my ePDFView PDF reader. There are alot of pictures it simply won't display. About 25% of the pictures (in average) in my PDF documents shows up as grey blocks with the same shape and size as the original picture. This is the case for external documents (made by others), and my own home cooked ones.

    Hmm, indeed. I hadn't noticed that. It seems that even the upstream website is down. I mainly use zathura, but epdfview has been working fine whenever I do use it.

  • Displaying all application windows through Hot Corners is no longer working.

    I have my MacBook Pro and my iMac setup to display APPLICATION WINDOWS through the upper right HOT CORNER.   It is no longer working on my iMac.  Instead, the system only displays the top/recent used window.  The display separates and shows the most recent window floating, but, no longer does it arrange windows of each application on the desktop.  There are no other options, it's either set in HOT CORNERS or not.   What changed?   It still works on my MacBook.  Version update = 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Lion won't display multiple application windows at once

    I apologize in advance if someone else has already posted this problem, but I've searched and searched and found nothing on it. It's a hard one to describe, so bear with me.
    Basically, since installing Lion (currently 10.7.4) on my home iMac, I've been unable to have windows for more than one application appear at one time. For the most part, applications run just fine. But say I have Adobe Illustrator open and want to drag an image from a folder in Finder into my document. The second I select Finder from the Dock, Illustrator disappears. Click back on Illustrator from the dock, and it reappears, but now my Finder window has gone AWOL. Seems like it's all still there, just becomes invisible. At no time will it display more than one application. Two windows of the same application? No problem. But any time I switch between apps, it shows only the most recently selected app, regardless of what's actually running on my machine. Makes dragging and dropping from one app to another near impossible.
    I've read about problems regarding apps becoming invisible, but virtually all posts say they also become unresponsive (ie. don't come back at all when reselected from the Dock), and that quitting and restarting the app generally fixes the problem. This isn't the case for me. Quitting and restarting does nothing. Even a fresh install of Lion did nothing. I find it hard to imagine this could be a hardware issue though. My iMac works perfectly otherwise, and this behaviour is just bizarre. Consequently, I haven't ruled out the possibility of demonic possesion, but I figured if anyone can help solve this riddle, it's all you lovely people.
    As for my current settings, I have no desktops/spaces setup (aside from the one), and have turned off all associated features for Mission Control in the System Preferences – more out of an attempt to simplify in the hopes that it would help than out of any dislike for the features. The iMac itself is a 20-inch, early 2008 with 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo and 4 GB SDRAM.
    Really don't know where else to turn. I've got my finger crossed that the problem will fade into memory once Mountain Lion is released, but that leaves me high and dry until then (which ***** the big one). Any help would result in my undying gratitude! Heck, help me solve this and I'll mail you a beer!

    That sounds like somehow the Single Application Mode has been turned on.  I don't know the Terminal command to turn it off, but the free 3rd-party application TinkerTool has it. 
    For some reason, it's on the Dock page:
    If it's checked, remove it. 
    If it's not checked, check it, Relaunch, then remove the check.

  • Safari won't display  "All Bookmarks"

    Safari won't show the list of Bookmarks.
    All I get is the small box in a footer bar with a + in it (add Bookmark Collection), and the previous page shows in the background of the window. The Bookmarks Bar is visible and works correctly, and the library of bookmarks can be exported, so they still exist.
    If I try to open the "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmarks Menu with no window open, the result is a Safari page with the toolbar, Bookmarks Bar, address bar etc. showing but with a blank page in the body of the window. When I click on the Bookmark icon on the Bookmarks Bar, it will toggle to a page with "about: blank" in the address bar.
    Safari is the latest version (3.1.2) which was updated a while ago.
    This problem started today and updating to OS X 10.5.4 tonight didn't affect the problem.
    Anyone else have this happen?

    i checked and don't have this file... is there anything else i can do?
    It would be really very strange for you not to have the Safari .plist file ...
    Try this: Open Safari, go to Safari > Preferences, go to the General section, and change the "New Window" setting to something different. If it currently is set to "Home Page," change it to "Empty Page," for example. Close the preferences window.
    Now open a new Finder window. In the sidebar, click on the "house" icon with your username next to it. Open the Library folder in that window and then the Preferences folder inside that. Click the View menu in your menubar and choose "As List."
    Click on the "Date Modified" column header, and click again on that column name if necessary so you have the most recent items at the top. The little triangle next to "Date Modified" will be pointing downwards, and the items at the top will have dates that say, "Today" with very recent times.
    Did the com.apple.Safari.plist file appear at or very near the top of the list?

  • Hub won't display all accounts

    Something very strange happening on my Q10.  When I go into Settings / Hub Management my Q10 will not let me enable all of my accounts.  I slide items to On and scroll down the screen and by the time I have chosen everything and go back up to the top of the list the device is sliding random accounts to Off on its own.  Is there a limit to how many can be enabled?  I only noticed this problem because my BBM and Txt messages weren't showing up.  The device had turned them off.  I need all accounts back on.

    Heyta1835,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I would suggest restarting the BlackBerry Hub, while in Hub swipe diagonnaly from the top right corner a few times.  Once it re-populates then check to see if the email accounts appear.
    Also how many email accounts are setup on the BlackBerry Q10?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Launchpad does not display all applications

    Hi,
    Not a biggie but thought it might show some industrial strife in the background!
    I've installed ML and now launchpad does not show Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, etc). They are still installed, perfectly usable, and on the dock anyway, but is this a sign of corporate friction, or something more sinister?!?!?!?
    Regards,
    Richard.

  • Store won't display search results, tabs dead

    Search results in iTunes Stoe (11) won't display all items (i.e. it reads "Total: 301 items" at the bottom of the list but only 16-20 will show up (depending on my luck). This is even true of, for example, a podcast show page itself. When I scroll down, there are empty lines where episode titles should go, but if I go all the way to the end, they suddenly disappear and the "Total: 301 items" jumps to the end of the 16-20 item long list.
    Categories within search results won't display either (i.e. I can see the "All," "Books," iTunes U" list on the right side, but clicking on each does nothing).
    Going from "Details" to "Ratings and Reviews" also requires clicking the tab and then reloading the page. My connection is fine, this has been happening for at least the last month at home, while out, using wifi and when drectly connected by old timey cables. Updated this morning, still no change.
    Help?

    This article has some tips
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    (particularly under Troubleshooting on a Mac)
    If that does not help...  As a test, to narrow down the cause, you may want to create a new user account in System Preferences Users & Groups pane.  It can be Standard or Admin.  Log out and log in to the new user account (do not use Fast User Switching).
    Try running iTunes from the new user account, and accessing the iTunes Store. 
    If the problem does NOT occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be something in your primary user account.  For example, it could be user preferences settings, or something related to your iTunes library, or a background process that runs in your account that is interfering somehow. 
    If the same problem does occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be related to the overall OS, the iTunes application, or maybe network settings that block access to the iTunes Store.
    Either way, you'll be able better focus additional troubleshooting.

  • Never saw Safari doing this before! Won't display some images !!! *** ??

    So I am using Safari for quite some time. All of a sudden, in the middle of the day, Safari won't display all the images on any given web page. For example, I go to flickr.com and see that half the photos on the page wont load. The status indicator says that Safari is done trying to load the page, yet half it is empty. Resetting, and then restarting Safari does nothing to help the situation.
    I really want to like Safari but am bewildered by all the problems it has (massive memory leaks, CPU runs at 100% every other day).
    But not showing photos is too much!

    I, myself am not crazy about Firefox, because it's a resource hog. Safari on the other side is simple, neat and clean. I have uninstalled the Apple Updater that gets installed with the Safari installation and that ensures that Safari doesn't give me any hassles.
    It is just this image problem that I am experiencing at the moment. I really hope that someone can resolve this before the final release of Firefox 3.

  • Safari won't display graphics for some web sites

    There are some sites that Safari won't display all of the graphics. For instance, nissanusa.com opens to a blank page with a little "feedback" symbol in the lower right corner. Similarly, the infiniti.com page has some text but no graphics. Both pages open fine on Firefox. There are other pages, but I prefer not to have to switch back and forth between browsers. Am I missing a plug-in that I don't know about?
    Phil

    Sorry, Guys. Somehow I screwed up when I installed the new Safari with Leopard. I don't remember accessing the preferences for Safari and thought they remained the same as for Safari 2. However, upon checking, I discovered the "enable plug-ins" box unchecked. Checking it solved all of the web site problems.
    Peter, Thanks for your response. For informational purposes, on Safari 3, the "enable Flash" button is no longer hidden in the Mime settings tab. Now it's on right on the advanced page of the Quicktime preferences.
    Again, sorry for my screw up and thanks for your help!

  • ITunes Match displays all my music but won't download or play

    I have just upgraded to Yosemite, doing a clean install.  There are 2 user profiles - mine and my partner's.  My partner's music appears to be playing fine.  I have iTunes Match.  I created my user account yesterday, logging in with my one & only Apple ID.  I have turned iTunes Match on and it is displaying all of my music, playlists, movies and TV shows (all with the little cloud icon).  However nothing is playing or downloading.  Whenever I click to either download or stream a song I get a message telling me "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID" and telling me to wait 90 days.  Surely this is not referring to my partner's user account on the same iMac?  Otherwise what would be the point of having separate user accounts on a desktop?  All my music is correctly stored in iTunes Match - now I want to listen to it.  What has gone wrong here please?  And yes, my user account has only 1 Apple ID and has been logged in with that since inception.

    Apple have done something really screwy with Apple IDs on Yosemite. They've decided to associate an Apple ID with the device in its entirety, instead of with each user account.
    I have two logins, one for my own personal account and one for a radio show I produce. The personal account has iTunes Match but the radio show accountt is just normal iTunes with iTunes In The Cloud. When I want to download music for the radio show, I switch to that account. I needed to download some of the music for that account and was warned that if I change accounts on this device I won't be able to again for another 90 days. I had no choice because I needed those files. But now when I go back to my personal login, I can no longer download any of my music from iTunes Match.
    Fortunately, I have another device associated with my personal iTunes account and can download some of my music there instead.
    This really needs to be sorted out!

  • Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation  at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. HELP!

    Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation  at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. Once it displayed but the presentation mode was on the big screen and the presentation I wanted to show was on my MBP screen. I have the adapter( white ones) to attached to the projector cables.  I am so frsutrated...it looks so silly not to have a computer work during a presentation..
    Another problem one the rare occasion that it shows on the screen is that the presentation does show just my desk top.  Any ideas?
    Thanks !

    You often have to turn off Mirroring to be able to set the second "screen"s resolution to something reasonable. When you do, the two screens become an "Exceeded Desktop" joined along one edge, and the Arrange pane in displays prefs can allow you to specify what edge. Initially, it will show a vacant extension of the built-in screen's desktop.
    The mouse moves freely across that shared edge, and can allow you to drag the presentation window across to the the projector screen and re-size it to fit.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

    Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
    First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
    It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
    Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
    It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
    Can anybody help at all?

    Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
    I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
    The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
    I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
    One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?
