Has Expose and Spaces been changed?

I loved spaces because I could hit fn f8 to see all 6 different spaces. Well now that doesn't happen anymore it just switches between all 6 spaces in order 1-6. Its very fustrasting not being able to drag the programs you want into the correct spaces or even just switching through them anymore as i don't remember which space i put it on. How do i get it back to the way it was before so i can see all 6 spaces instead of it just switching in order of the screens? To active spaces my hotkey is f8. put it acts like the hot key to switch between spaces when its not even on that key.

Update, just restarted my computer to get the newest updates now fn f8 only takes me to screen 4 and safari is on screen 6 -_-

In the new iOS-7 Safari, has the "reader" function been changed to eliminate the option to modify font size (and hence to modify the number of words per line), or is it just that I can't find how to do that?

Cant find expose and spaces in system preferences

I cant seem ti find "expose and spaces" in system preferences. Can anybody help please?

Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
If you upgraded from Snow Lepoard OS 10.6.x that had Exposé and Space, then those two have been integrated into Mission Control in Lion OS 10.7.x. You can learn more in the Apple KB article Mac 101: Mission Control. Mission Control is in System Preferences. Another source of info about Mission Control, Exposé and Spaces is from the Help menu in the Finder. Just type any one of those elements in the search box and you should get a few articles that are connected to each other.

Dashboard Preferences: Why does Mac OS direct me to Expose and Spaces Pane?

When I right click on the Dashboard Icon in the Dock and select "Dashboard Preferences..." I am directed to the System Preference pane for Expose and Spaces.
This doesn't appear to be logical.
Is there a true "Dashboard Preference" pane?

Hello,
when I look for list.plist the directory
arrow indicates there are files but no files show in
the directory.
Files named list.plist or files which name contains list.plist ?
I have no file named list.plist since I trash the one I told before.
Is this similar to the "hide system
files" option in Windows? If so, how do I turn on
the view to show the file? Thanks in advance...
On Mac, if a file is hidden* there is a good reason... so don't try to make them visible except if you know exactly what you do !
* In general, a file which name begins with a dot is invisible in Finder.

Expose' and Spaces preference plane is blank

I upgraded my original core duo 20" iMac to Snow Leopard last night and it mostly went fine. I did need to repair permissions to get the 10.6.8 combo update to install properly but that was the only hiccup I noticed at first. However, after a few minutes of usage, I noticed that my Expose' and Spaces preference pane went blank. I was able to use it upon first boot but after a while I tried to go back in and click on the pref pane and got nothing aside from the message that the Expose and Spaces preferences were loading. I clicked again and the window appeared but was blank. Here's what I've tried so far.
I logged out as myself and logged in as my wife and her preference pane appears without a problem.
I repaired permissions several times including from a boot CD.
I removed the relevant cache and plist files from my Library folder.
I was able to get the pref pane back for a while but honestly I don't know exactly what I did to get it to come back. I believe it was after I removed my com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file but I can't be totally sure. One thing I noticed was that after removing com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist, the file did not come back on it's own after trying to edit the preferences. I even copied the com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist from my wife's Library but that didn't seem to help (I'm still somewhat of a new Mac guy so I don't even know if that is a viable solution in the first place.)
I've seen other people experiencing problems with blank preference panes but it doesn't seem like their solutions are relevant to my problem. Also I would have thought that there might be a corrupt pref file somewhere but the fact that the behavior is normal under my wife's profle seems to suggest that all is well at the system file level.
Any help is, of course, greatly appreciated.
Regards

I called Apple support and they were able to help me. Here's what they had me remove:
com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
com.apple.dashboard.plist
com.apple.dock.plist
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
my home/library Caches folder

I rebooted and my Mac was back and running normal. I think that /Library/Caches removal was the key part but I can't say for sure.

Unable to map expose and spaces keys to function keys on unibody macbook

Hi all. I just bought a unibody macbook and wanted to add the spaces key to view all the windows in all spaces to the F5 key, and another expose key to F6. I went into the control panel under "expose and spaces" and "keyboard shortcuts" under "keyboard" and tried to set these keys. But it never actually accepts any of the settings I make. I put the settings to make them f5 and f6 but nothing happens when I press the keys. I know about the gestures and the hardcoded keys that are predefined on the macbook, but none of these allows me to use spaces to look at all the windows.
What's going on here, have they made it impossible to set your own keys for these things now? Is f5 and f6 just totally unusable now? Is there a workaround?
This is really annoying. Any suggestions?

haha, I just figured it out after I posted it. It's Function-F5 that it get's mapped to even though it still says only f5. I don't know why it doesn't just say that in the first freaking place, but whatever.
Does anyone know of a way to do this without having to use function-f5 and just mapping it to plain old f5? As far as I can see the key is just sitting there unused..

Has the sharp edge been changed on the new models or replacement cases?

Hi,
I remember reading about the casing of the Macbook having a sharp edge and bothering some people when they would type and rest their hands.
Has this been changed or is it the same?
Thank you

I personally don't find the edges a problem - it seems to be dependent on the individual really.
Try and get to use a friend's Macbook or one in a store to see if it affects you at all.
If that's not possible but you find the edges a problem after purchasing then inexpensive pads are available which are supposed to help - http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macgems/2006/07/softpads/index.php

Has the PCI buss been changed?

Ive heard that the PCI buss has been change since I got my mirror door dual G4 and that I will not be able to install my Aardvark Q10 PCI audio hardware in a new G5. Do you guys know if this is correct info? I'd like to get a new cpu, but cannot afford a new interface as well. Would I get good performance out of a G5 running it as a node with my G4 or would my old cpu become a bottleneck for the rest of the system? Any feedback is much appreciated.

It has changed a few times since that G4 was released. G4s had a PCI bus which supported multiple voltages, up to 12V. G5s support only 1 voltage. The newest G5s won't even fit that card-and the older ones may not power it. You can use Apple system profiler to view your card's power consumption, or consult the manual or website (I don't use this card, personally). You could get alot of extra miles using a G5 as a node if you simply need more processor for most of Logic's plugs (EXS, and 3rd party plugs are not enabled for node processing). G5s have digital outs, if you can connect this to your card you could use the G5 for many things, esp. softsynths and samplers if you are more into 3rd party stuff than the node idea. I would know that buying another card would have to happen soon enough because you're limiting yourself if your G5 is fitted well, unless you have a few macs which can use the node or you are happy using it as a server. You can offload alot though-it just depends where you need it.

Why has my IP Profile been Changed Downwards?

My DSL Connection rate Downstream has been & still is 4768.
However today my IP Profile has been changed from 4000 to 3500.
This has resulted in a change of IP Throughput from 3619 to 3201.
My Noise Margin has been the same at 5.9 Downstream & 17 Upstream.
Line attenuation has been/still is 48 Downstream & 24 Upstream.
Looking at the Router Traffic Statistics there have been no errors or Drop Outs
In the past the IP Throughput of 3619 has not been great but good enough for my requirements but the drop to 3201 is causing me problems.
Any ideas why the drop?
How can it be improved

When I go to system preferences expose and spaces is not there for me as an option. What can I do to restore it?

I have tried to fix permissions and restart and that did not help it show back up and I have also deleted the system preferences cache and still nothing. What can I do?

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

Has copy and paste been broken in the latest iOS in Numbers

Just tried copying and pasting in the latest version of Numbers on a V3 iPad. The only time I could get it to work, was by copying into the same table. And then only once. I've been using this for months, but not since the latest update. Anyone else have this problem?

Have you seen this thread over in the iWork for iOS discussions:

http://contentsofadeadmanspockets.com/meet.html

The basics of this page are simple I want the banner at the top the the navigation bar lining right up underneath the banner, the below have those pictures on the left side and then a descripton on the right side of each picture then below that a copyright bar at the bottom.with it all being centered like the homepage is. If you look at some other pages in chrome you will notice those spaces and gaps in more then just that page of the website. Please help me I cannot find a way to fix it. I'd be extreamly greatful if someone could make me a template where i can just drop each sliced image in and type the descriptions and all that in. also have the background of all that grey but where the info on the right is white. so the black text can show

Can expose and spaces be installed on Mavericks?

I recently updated my OS from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. I am sure there are some nifty things that this new OS can do, like iCloud synchronization, but Apple seems to have done away with some features that I really found useful, like Spaces which I used all the time. Is it possible to install Expose & Spaces on a Mavericks equipped machine? How would that be done?
Or is there a new feature that does the same thing that I have missed?
