Hold down dock icon - show windows

With Snow Leopard, I used to be able to hold down an icon on the dock (where multiple windows were open for the same app), and it would show all of the various pieces of that app I had open.  With Lion you have to click and select open all Windows
Example, Outlook:  Holding down the mouse button would show all of the open mail messages.
Now, it only shows a menu, where you can select 'show all windows'.
is there any way to get that feature back? (other than going back to SL?)

The 2-finger double click doesn't work for me.
What worked is a three-finger swipe down (called "App Expose" in the system preferences) over the applicaiton icon.  If you use an external mouse, then you can use the MIssion Control button over the app (ie. for the Magic Mouse, you would double tap over the dock icon).

  • OSX Lion Server app hangs; dock icon shows incrementing counter

    I'm running OSX Lion (10.7.3) on a MacMini.
    since yesterday, the following concistenly happens: when I start the server app, it says "connecting to the server" next to the spinning wheel at the bottom right corner of the app window. After a few seconds, the app's dock icon shows a red counter (akin to the "unread counter" of the mail app) which is continuously being incrememted, and the (in)famous colored spinning wheel comes up as well: the server app hangs, and shows up as "Not Responding" in the Activity Monitor.
    I've checked the System Diagnostic Reports on the Console window, and it reports the Server app as hanging, followed by a few thousand lines of messages ...
    Does anybody know what goes wrong, or better, how to resolve this problem??

    I have the exact same issue. I can see from Console.app, that
    opendirectoryd: got error 1100
    Can somebody please help?

  • I used to be able to turn off my apps by holding down the icon but since the update it wont work. have they changed how to stop them running

    I used to be able to turn off my apps by holding down the icon and then it would turn off, now when I do the same thing nothing happens. Have they changed the way you turn off apps since the new update.

    Double tap the home button and swipe upwards on the preview of the App (not the App Icon).

  • Dock icon shows yesterday's date when closed

    Per the title, dock icon shows Dec 1 when iCal is closed. When I open it, it changes to today's date, but when I quit it reverts to 12/1.
    Trashed preference file, no change.
    Not the biggest deal--just takes me back to Tiger--however I do get concerned when something "new" starts happening for no apparent reason.

    dfreiwald,
    Have you removed the icon from the Dock and replaced it with the iCal icon located in your Applications folder?
    I would say this is more of a nuisance than something to worry about.
    ;~)

  • Dock icon shows 13 messages unread?

    My Mail Dock icon shows that I have 13 unread messages but I have read all of them. How or what can I do to fix this? It is very anyoing to see this as I think there are more messages that need to be read than are really there.
    Thanks for your help with this.

    Make new smartfolder set to display unread messages only (in the unlikely case that they exist but can't be found in the regular folders), they may be visible this way.
    That worked for me - Thanks

  • Dock Icon showing stats?

    Ok, so Im new to Mac and have a silly question. Ive been using BitTorrent and iRip a lot recently. They used to show stats on the actual icon on the Dock. Things like upload/download speed and progress bars. Now that Ive upgraded to Mountain Lion its gone. I right clicked and looked under options as well as Dock settings and there is nothing there. Any advice?

    I keep Activity Monitor's dock icon set to the memory pie chart. Is that what you mean?
    there are half-a-dozen different things it will display, as long as Activity Monitor is open, whether its window is open or not.

  • Dock icon showing 'do not' symbol

    After upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7.3, I noticed several dock icons with 'don't' symbol.  What is it? 

    Great choice. So basically, unless you have something vital to your workflow that is showing as no longer supported, try updating it, otherwise uninstall them. I think I only had about two old Plc programs when I updated AppleWorks being one, so really no noticeable dig fence in workflow and much prefer working in Lion.
    Good luck

  • Mac Mail: Unread mail counter on dock icon shows "phantom" unread mails

    The mailconter of my Mac Mail icon on the dock shows 25 unread messages, but I'm unable to find these inside Mac Mail as unread messages.
    I did check all mailboxes and their subfolders for any undread messages that might be inside them, but I didn't find any.
    Is there any way to reset or recalculate the unread mail counter for the dock icon?

    Hi Robert
    The proposed rebuild did suddenly reveal the 25 unread mails insinde my archive mailfolders. By marking these as read again now shows the correct count of unread mails on the dock icon.
    Thanks a lot, your hint was most helpful!
    Regards
    Erich

  • Can not delete app by just holding down app icon until it jiggles

    I can not delete apps on my IPad no longer.  When pressing down on app icon it jiggles but does not delete when I press X

    Try resetting the iPad (hold the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears). Then try deleting the apps again.

  • I have downloaded an app which I think is to large to my IPAD as it has read loading for hours now. How do I stop it and clear it from the pad. I have tried the normal holding down the icon but nothing happens?

    I have downloaded an app which I think is to large as it has jammed. The icon just reads loading. How can I stop it and clear it from my  pad????

    Have you tried a reset to see if it resumes after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When I hold down my icons they won't shake

    I'm trying to delete apps off my iPad, but when I hold them down they won't shake, and I was wondering why they won't shake?

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • HT201365 How do I turn off applications to keep my battery level up?  I used to be able to press the bottom button twice and hold down an icon until it jiggled and had an x on it.  That doesn't seem to work with the new upgrade.

    With the new OS 7 I can't figure out how to shut down applications to save battery.  I used to double click the bottom button and select applications to " x" out of.  How does this work now?

    double tap the home button and swipe up on the app screenshot.
    Having apps in the multi task doesn't effect your battery life.

  • I can no longer hold down the Safari icon on the dock and open a new window

    I noticed after installing Snow Leopard that I am unable to hold down the icon for Safari on my dock and choose the option to open a new window. I have had to revert to (Command-Tabbing) through my open applications to get to Safari, then (Command-N).
    I found it much more convenient to do it the other way. Am I missing something, or is this something that has been removed with the new Snow Leopard operating system?
    Please help. Thanks!

    Thank you. What a pain though. Why would they make it a separate command now. It would be so easy to have kept it in the pop-up that shows when you hold the cursor down on it.
