How can I switch the first desktop in Mission Control?

I can switch between all others just fine. I've messed around with Mission Control in System Preferences but I haven't found anything useful. Right now if I want to switch say the first and second desktop, I have to...
enter mission control
drag app A from desktop 1 to desktop 2
enter mission control
drag app B from desktop 2 to desktop 1
enter mission control
drag app C from desktop 1 to desktop 2
Which is extremely frustrating.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do because the dragging applications around is making me unsure. I'll give you some information and maybe that will help me help you.
You don't have to go to Mission Control and move applications to change desktops. Three ways to navigate between desktops:
1. Hold down the control key and use the left/right arrows to change desktops.
2. Open Mission Control and click on the desktop you want to have showing.
3. Go to System Preferences/Keyboard, unlock if locked and select Mission Control. Check the boxes "Switch to Desktop X."
Two other possibilities I can think of:
1. Do you want to assign applications to a certain desktop?
2. Do you want the desktops to always be in the same order?

    Dear All
    How can i show the first item in the list as selected item when user click on the list. Right now when user click the list the list shows the last item in the list as selected or highlighted. Furthermore if the list item have large no of value and a scroll bar along with it then the list scroll to last item when user click it with mouse. I want that when user click the list item with mouse list should show the first item as highlighted.

    Hi!
    You can set list "initial value" using When-Create-Record trigger.
    I.g.
    :<Block_name>.<list_item_name> := Get_List_Element_Value('<Block_name>.<list_item_name>', 1);

    How can I have the first letter after a sentence ending period automatically capitalize?  Can't seem to figure it out...thanks!

    You need to fix capitalization in Pages Preferences > Auto-Correction. When you select this option, you can just keep typing in lower case and the first letter of the next sentence will automatically promote to upper case.

  • How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time?

    How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time? It brings up the window with that world map to do it, including the warning that "this is the 5th and final time I can do this", when inserting a DVD and opening "DVD Player", but it never executes my click on the "Change Drive Region" button prompt.
    VLC or Quicktime Player won't play it either, but won't bring up that window to change Region Code anyway....
    Otherwise, I'm not having any other issues with this MBP at all. Peak performance on all counts :-)
    I tried resetting SMC after chatting w/ Apple Support, but it didn't help.
    That was the link they provided. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
    Tried zapping PRAM as well.
    Thanks for any clues, Rene

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25416?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • Noisy seagate HD. how can i switch the system to my new HD?

    ...tired of the noise that my original Seagate HD produces, I am decided to buy a new, much quiter HD (western digital seems to be the best option).
    now the question is: how can I restart the mac on the new HD if it's empty and with no system inside?
    what do I do once taken out of the box? Do I simply put the new HD in one on the empty slots and it will it appear immediately on the desktop, or do I need to do something? (before doing all these things I would like to be sure).
    is there a link on the apple site which explains all that?
    thanks

    While SuperDuper is excellent, no need to even leave Disk Utility to clone a volume. It has a Restore option that works just fine, and is what I always use to first copy a system (assuming you don't want to do a fresh install and have already done updates and 3rd party installs). SD is great when you want a quick means to update your backups or clone.
    Also, no matter which method you choose to use, go back to Disk Utility, click on the new drive volume, and select First Aid and Repair Permissions.
    I sometimes like to run the latest Combined Update also on a new clone before booting. I would leave the old drive in as backup, and even repair the drive and permissions once on the new drive.
    My complaint with Seagate OEM is it runs hot for a 160GB drive, even when idle and not even being accessed or used at all. And 'sluggish' on the performance side.

  • How can I fade the first slide in a slideshow in from black?

    Novice user here, but I can't seem to find an answer to this question. I've created a couple of slideshow, and have imported them to iDVD to burn the DVDs. When I play the show in iPhoto, they're fine. But when I play a finished DVD (or the demo of the DVD in iDVD), the first slide does not fade in like iPhoto did. It's a really jarring start. I fiddled with Ken Burns effects, but all that seems to do it effect how the slide ends, not how it starts.
    How can I start the DVD slide show at black and fade the first slide in, just like iPhoto automatically did?
    BTW ... haven't upgrade to the new iLife software yet if that helps.

    Hi DogWonder!
    if it were me, I think the simplest thing to do is take a photo with the lens cover on the camera, basically a black pic. Now use this one at the beginning of your DVD/Slide Show... or even between slides for a little more drama, if you wanted...
    Good luck, Rick

  • How can one change the channel of a screen control within Mainstage?

    The issue that I'm having is that some 3rd party apps (Dimension Pro in particular) seem to receive Sustain (64) messages on only Midi Channel 1
    I'm using a multi zone controller, with sounds set in MainStage to respond to different channels. I've got it all working well except . . Dimension Pro won't "see" a controller message if it's sent from any channel other than channel 1.
    I was even having the same problem with certain sounds in Kontakt.
    So the question is . . how can one shift the channel of these messages over to channel 1?
    Better question, how can I get Dimension Pro to respond to a controller on a channel other than 1, but I suspect this is not the forum for such questions!
    Thanks in advance,

    You may be able to achieve the desired results by a different method. I have an Axiom, but I don't assign zones in it. I just send one zone to Mainstage and handle it all there. You can layer and or split a practically unlimited number of instruments and assign screen controls easily. You probably want to set up all screen controls at the concert level in layout mode. You can later override concert mapping in individaul patches if you want. For instance, you could use an expression pedal for volume(7) on one patch and for modulation(1) on another patch. You can send that control to one instument channel strip or you can choose to send to all. To do this, select a screen control in edit mode. In the screen control inspector, check the overide concert mapping box. You will then see two additional tabs-mappings and unmapped. Select the mappings tab. In the mapping list, double-click "Unmapped". You can the map the screen control to any single  instrument channel strip in this list or send to all. Select one and then choose a mapping destination. If you want to map expression to one instrument and not others there's another way. Select an instrument channel strip, then selct MIDI input in the software channel strip inspector. Check the filter expression box. This instument will now not respond to expression, but the other intruments in this patch will. You can filter some other events on this page. The layer editor tab allows you full control ol splits and layering options of all your instruments in this patch. Hope this helps.

  • (JTable) How can i get the first columns cell in a selected row?

    Hello. I am trying to figure out how i can get the first columns cell within a selected row no matter what cell is selected in that row. I have a class that extends AbstractTableModel which represents the table. Now i have another class that extends DefaultSelectionModel. Each model is added to the JTable via setModel(TableModel dataModel), setSelectionModel(ListSelectionModel newModel). Now i don't understand what i have to return from getMaxSelectionIndex(). Any ides? Thanks.
      class xTableModel extends AbstractTableModel{
         private static String[] cols;
         private Object[][] data;
            public void setTableModel(Object data[][], String[] cols){
             this.cols = cols;
             this.data = data;
            public String getColumnName(int col){
             return cols[col];
            public int getRowCount() {
             return data.length;
            public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
             return data[row][col];           
            public void setValueAt(Object value,int row,int col){
             data[row][col]=value;
            public int getColumnCount(){
             return cols.length;
    class ColumnListenerModel extends DefaultListSelectionModel{
         public int getMaxSelectionIndex(){}

    int row = table.getSelectedRow();
    Object data = table.getValueAt(row, 0);

  • How can I retrive the first sender?

    Hi Guru.
    So this is my scenario:
    JDBC_System, here starts the process, "sends" some data to a BPM.
    The BPM call a custom RFC in the R3_System.
    When the R3_System sends the response, I lost the "original sender" (in this case JDBC_System) because the sender is R3_system and receiver is the BPM.
    So, I need the "original sender" (JDBC_System) because I need to send an alert to some people.
    I cannot modify the RFC in SAP System.
    In the future I can have more JDBC_system and for each JDBC_System and I need to send an email to several users.
    How can i do this?
    Thanks thanks guru.
    Bye

    What do you mean with <UniqueID> is the message ID of the first step (JDBC to BPM) or is a "cross id" for all the step in the flow?
