Help with mission control

when i open up mission control, you know how u see apps on the top? how do i get apps up there? id appreciate help.

Open an app on any desktop. Then when you start Mission Control the app will be in one of the desktops shown at the top.
To move the app to another desktop, click and drag it to whichever position you want it. To insure that it stays on that desktop, go down to the dock and right click on the app. Then select the "Options" and check on the "This desktop".

Maverick causing problems with mission control

hi,
I have a early 2013 Mac book pro. I just upgraded to Maverick and I have been facing issues with mission control. When I swipe fingers up on touchpad to open Mission control, occasionally it lags. Basically the lagging is prevelant with swipe and pinch gestures on touchpad, the transitions are not smooth. Please help me fix it.
Thanks in advance,
Kritarth

I'm not sure that what I'm seeing is this same problem, but it's similar. And worse.
I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch,Early 2013), and several times since I installed Mavericks both Mission Control and 4-finger swiping have stopped working completely. A restart always fixes them. They both fail at the same time--either both work completely, or both don't work at all.
I'm guessing there's a lurking Mavericks bug, somewhere.

Stickies used to move to any desktop with mission control. Now it only stays on 1 screen. Floating is enabled. Any solutions?

Take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have them evaluate it. This is a free service. They may tell you what needs to be fixed and the associated costs. You are no obligated to to have them perform the repairs. But you will have a better understanding of the problem(s).
Ciao.

Pb with mission control

Hi,
I've a pb with mission control.
When I swipe three fingers up, I can't see my desktops. I can't see all the app opened.
However, when I swipe three fingers down, I can see all the windows of the same app.
I've tried to repair permissions and restart your computer, but it doesn't work.
Any ideas of what might have happened?
Thank you so much

Hi Clem's,
Since this is the only gesture you are having issues with, and the setting is enabled, then you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Take care,

Dictation interferes with Mission Control - MC shortcuts stop working

I just started using dictation about a week ago, and, although it works great, it seems to be interfering with the Mission Control shortcuts (F9, F10, etc.). The shortcuts just stop working, often after Dictation shows some stuttering (short episodes of freezing, or an inability to switch languages). They never malfunction when I don't use Dictation. After restarting the dock with osascript -e 'quit application "Dock"' everything functions normally, but it gets annoying when you have to do that 10 or more times a day. Does anybody know what's going on or maybe have a fix?
Specs:
27" iMac, late 2009
Processor 3,06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
OS version OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
I should probably also mention that I'm using enhanced dictation, and that I've loaded two languages, English and German.

Trying to stay organised with Mission Control Grrrrrrr.....

I currently have Safari open in full screen mode and 8 windows = 8 spaces.
I have Preview in full screen mode and 3 docs = 3 spaces
I have iTunes, iPhoto, Reeder and iCal in full screen mode = 4 spaces
i have Finder on one desktop and Path Finder on another = 2 spaces
Therefore I have 17 spaces for 7 apps in total and its a complete mess
I want all windows for a specific app to be in the SAME destop space (you know, like Spaces in 10.6). I like to flick through all my open web pages using the old command ~ but it doesn't work.
Spend so much time going to mission control and hunting for the page or doc I want. This is ridiculus. I consider myself a power user and this is wasting so much time.
It's not that I'm resistant to change but it seems that Mission control is poorly thought out and implemented.
Am I doing something drastically wrong or is this what we're stuck with?

I like Snow better as well and YOUD of THUNK it that they could have given you the option to KEEP the other or not, why is it not a preference you can remove or add and let the user able to switch the settings on or off. They look similar and each has a unique gift, but I still choose Snow's... and MissionCritical would probably be better for me if Swipe actually worked... NOPE SWIPE does not work like a lot of other nifty stuff on my laptop.
I love when I need the full screen to use it, and perhaps if I had 4G instead of 2G it would be better to transition in and out but wait a second I'm sounding like a WINDOWS user --- is APPLE secretly planting ideas in our minds, or do they have the impression that there are so many new windows users the transition backwards won't hurt so BAD... SORRY I miss the day when a MAC just worked and a MAC you could PUSH and PUSH and PUSH and LOAD IT TO THE GILLLS and she'd still deliver that 25# baby. That's right, I'd have 4 browsers open with 20-50 tabs each and sometimes 70-100 tabs in one, usually always had 2-3 browsers with 40-100 open tabs and in and out of excel and word and pages, preview always open it seemed, mail open and closed many times with an occasional iMovie and a quicktime player open, yeah sure it bogged once and ahwile and it had a spinning wheel sometimes but I could see why --- Not with LION - Sorry - No Excuse.

Problem with mission control after 10.7.2 update

After I updated to 10.7.2, when I swipe into mission control then select a different app with the spacebar then swipe back out of mission control, the menu bar on the top does not switch to the new app, it stays as the previous open app. But, if I click on the new app instead of using the spacebar then the menu bar switches correctly. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have had the same issue since initial 10.7.0 install. Doesn't seem to affect function at all.. but disconcerting nonetheless. I have yet to find anything acknowleding the problem or how to fix it.

Assign a Set Order with Mission Control to Full Screen Apps (On Startup)

Mission Control is great (not as good as Spaces as I enjoyed being able to go down as well as side to side to switch apps).
For me, I like to have all my apps arranged in a particular order so I can know how far I need to go to get back to whatever app I'm looking for. However, when I start up my computer, Mountain Lion seems to arrange it in its own order, the same everyday but not what I had arranged the previous day. I arrange it back to the way I like it, and all is good until I restart when Mountain Lion rearranges it back to this other order.
I turned off the "arrange as I use" feature.
I know you can assign desktops to apps - but it doesn't seem like full screen apps can be assigned an order. Is this just something I gotta deal with? Is there anyway for Mountain Lion to just restart my computer as I had it? Why does it choose their order over mine? What's informing the order?

I have this too and have looked for a fix without any luck. I do have a workaround though.
On the remote machine open System Preferences > Mission Control
Select a hot corner from the list to activate mission control.
When you mouse over that corner on the local machine Mission Control will pop up.
Also the keyboard shortcuts will enable you to enter Mission Control if they are assigned differently on the two machine. For example I have ^↑ (Control Up Arrow) assigned on the remote machine to enable mission control but I use the mousepad on the local machine.
I'm still looking for a better solution and will come back if I find one.

HT4689 With mission control in Mountain Lion, is there a setting that displays a document name when it is selected?

For example, if I have 4 word documents open, and go to mission control so they are all displayed, can I turn a feature on that displays the document name when my mouse is over each document?
Like in the picture, if I have my mouse over a document, the name of the document isn't displayed. Can I change this?

Hey!
I just got a new mac and was trying to figure out the same thing today!! I went from an older version to this 10.9. I called apple support, the tech had no idea what I was talking about. I was transferred to a manager who told me that it is not feature available on the new models. After a 40 minute conversation I was about to let it go and then I saw this post and became determined LOL ... and I figured it out (SMH apple support). So here is how you do you it:
system preferences > trackpad > you want to make sure the "App Expose" is checked off > and you're done!!
I am not able to upload a 2 photos so I will post a second screenshot of what it looks like once the preferences are set.

After installing Lion os I cannot see my desktop 1 nor can I see my open windows when I go to finder, I just get the grey/black background that comes with mission control. Any ideas as to how to solve this problem?

The top picture is what my Desktop 1 looks like. And the picture below is what my desktop looks like after clicking mission control. Ive tried changing wallpapers, changing preferences, etc. and I still can't figure out what's wrong. As you can see, on mission control you can't see any of the open windows, or anything that I have placed on my desktop. Any ideas as to how to solve this issue?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Help with access control please

So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

Problem with Mission Control

I've just installed the Safari 6.1.1 and iTunes 11.1 updates. For some reason this seems to have affected Mission control on my computer (late 2011 Macbook pro running Mountain Lion).
I can now no longer highlight and select the large desktop window in Mission Control (the one that open apps appear above). This is really annoying as it makes navigating around much more of a hassle now.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried repairing Disk permissions already. Thanks.

I'm surprised that given the usual hysteria over anything new that Apple brings out Apple didn't realise that providing this upgrade solely via a downloading method may cause a few problems upon its release!!

I'm new to flash and need help with some controls

I'm builidng a site that has a portfiolio of work to display.
When the visitor arrives at the portfolio page he (or she) is
faced with a split panel. The right panel displays a summary of a
client and the work. The left panel displays the work examples
attributed to that client. By clicking forward and backward arrows
in the right panel, the visitor can call the summaries of the
different clients. Landing on a client page 'opens' a separate swf,
called using loader component, that contains the portfolio of that
client's work into the left panel
1. I want forward and backward arrows located on the main
movie in the left panel to control the progress of the loaded swf,
rather than using forward and backward arrows on the loaded swf.
2. I want to prevent the forward and backward arrows in both
panels from clicking beyond frames in the Portfolio area of the
timeline.
3. I want the backward arrow to be innactive on the first
frame, and the forward arrow to be innactive on the last frame.
I have no problems making the arrows work on the main movie
controlling the client summaries. What I don't know how to do is
make them control the movement of the loaded swf, or #2 and #3.
Any help will be greatefully appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Art

Hi Art,
There are different coding methods, depending on where you
put code..
1) Frame code
Click on a frame of the timeline to enter frame code
2) Attached code for movieclips and buttons
Click once on a movieclip or a button then enter attached
code
To make an onEnterFrame event for a movieclip, first chose
either frame code or attached code method. I personally rarely ever
use
attached code because it hides code in places that can be
hard to find. Almost all my coding is frame code, but it's a
personal
choice.
Frame code method to make an onEnterFrame for the main
timeline..
// put this code into a frame on the main timeline
this.onEnterFrame = function()
// do something once per frame at the frame rate
checkMyButtons(); // once per frame we will check on the
button status
OR
Attached Code method to attach an onEnterFrame event to a
movieclip
// click once on the movieclip (don't dbl click it .. stay at
the root timeline level)
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
// do something once per frame at the frame rate
Those two types of code are not interchangeable. One type
must be entered into a frame and the other style must be attached
to a
movieclip or you will get errors.
Then there is the DOT syntax way to write frame code that is
equivalent to attaching code..
myMovieClip.onRelease = function()
trace("release");
myMovieClip.onPress = function()
trace("press");
myMovieClip.onDragOut = function()
trace("drag out");

Actionscript help with symbol control (Flash 8)

I have a bunch of symbols on the stage and want to control
them with actionscript to cut down on the workload. The attached
code is what I've created that works for the most part with 3
problems/customization desires:
1) When I test this the POST still sends my variables in a
querystring like a GET (only read by request.querystring). How to
make the POST act like a POST.
2) My mouse over creates a larger symbol. How could I get
this to animate the growth to a larger symbol?
3) My shadow effect is just a transparent copy of the
original symbol. How can I change the color to be transparent
black? Or is there a better way?

let's see if i can help...
1) you should use LoadVar.sendAndLoad - rather than just send
in order to maintain the current swf file - even if you only
specify a "POST" method param.
2) you should use the Tween class to 'grow the scale of the
button - and shrink back to size it onRollOut - without a need to
create a duplicate instance.
3) you should use the DropShadowFilter to achieve this with
code
so this should look like:

Need help with Referer Control 0.4.3 add-on

Hello,
I can't seem to make this add-on work as I expect, and I can't find any way to contact anyone, except maybe here. If there is a better place to get support for Referer Control 0.4.3, please let me know :-)
It doesn't seem to work as I expect, although it's entirely possible that I don't clearly understand how it's supposed to work. Afaiu, it's supposed to change how the referer header is handled, when you click a link to go to another website. It puts a dropdown list on the toolbar, with several choices for what to do when you follow a link. So you can change it as needed, per website. It's default setting is "remove" which means (apparently) to remove the referer header before sending the request (which I guess they say makes it ready to go "out of the box").
Before I found this add-on, I had changed network.http.send.RefererHeader from 2 to 0 (in about:config). The only website where I had trouble, is Launchpad.net. Without setting it to 2, all I can do is view the website. If I want to post a comment, or search the site, I would have to manually change the referer header control in about:config. So I thought this would be a good website to test the add-on. (When I would try to post a comment or search the site, I would get an error message about the referer header.)
So when I found this add-on, I put it back to 2, assuming that the add-on is now going to block the referer header from being sent. I went to Launchpad.net (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape) and with the new add-on's dropdown control list, set to "remove", I'm still able to do anything I want, without getting an error message about the referer header. So it seems like the add-on just doesn't work.
Out of curiosity, I opened about:config so I could look at what happens to network.http.send.RefererHeader when I change the add-on settings. But apparently, it works in some other way, than altering about: config, because no matter which control option I choose, the referer header stays on 2.
Well, I don't think that's exactly evidence that it doesn't work, because maybe the add-on works in some other way, than actually changing network.http.send.RefererHeader. But it does leave me to wonder how it does work, and why it's not working at Launchpad.net. Idk, or maybe this add-on really is a scam?
Can anyone help me with this Referer Control 0.4.3 add-on?
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/referrer-control/?src=ss)
Thank you very much :-)

Oh, thank you Moses. I could not find that profile page. I found a website, but is all in a traditional Asian language (pretty, but I can't read it).
Thanks cor-el. I will try to search out some info about that. (I do understand, in general, what a cross site request/referer is.) The add-on under discussion probably does more than just prevent the cross site scripting, etc, assuming I can get it to work.
Now that I've got an email address, hopefully I can get some questions answered.
Thank you all very much.
Off topic, but the marking of a particular message that solves the problem is really rather annoying, at least it is to me. Most of the time, there are several replies from different people, which together provide the solution. I just don't understand how this feature is helpful. But of course, I try my best to choose 1 reply ;-)
