How do I add spaces in mission control in mountain lion?

I use an external monitor on the right side of my mbp, the external monitor (when in use) is my main screen. I want my (auto retracting) dock on the right side of my right screen (the external one). The top right corner is my hot corner for mission control.
With this setup, when I move my mouse to the right top corner I'll enter mission control, but somehow the "add a new space pop-up button" will not show up. I haven't tried this setup in Lion so I do not know if this is a bug for ML. I really like my dock on the right side of the screen, left is no option and I'm sick of having it at the bottom, but I do want to be able to add spaces, any thoughts how to do this?

multiple ways,
go to mission control and:
hold option, a half of a desktop with a plus will appear, click it.
drag an application's window next to the spaces there are already.
put an app in fullsreen mode.
move mouse over the top left side of the screen, and the desktop with the plus sign will appear to add a new space.

  • How do I delete unused window spaces in Mission Control with Mountain Lion?

    When I open an application to full-window size (opening a new "space" in mission control), the "space" does not close when I terminate the application.  Instead, the space remains blank.  There are no options to remove or open an application, and I cannot remove the empty space in mission control.  When I re-open the same program, it creates a new space.  Now I have 11 spaces and only 4 of them are usable/not blank.
    How do I delete the blank ones?

    JonRow, Look familiar?
    And when I did try and swipe through full screen apps I briefly got this. See image below. (note the menu bar icons top right)
    Before going to a blank grey screen.
    If the problem comes back I will tru the killall dock command.
    Cheers

  • Indesign cs6 menu and tool bar disappear between windows using mission control in mountain lion

    heres 2  screen grabs before and after. while navigating between 'spaces' using mission control in mountain lion. issue -  the menu and tools bars disappear - not all of them just parts of them. to get back i hit 'tab' button twice which hides and shows tools. very annoying - does anyone know of a fix or is this another bug which i have to live with. im using a macpro june 2012/running 10.8.4 and 2 screens - left for artboard - right for all tool windows.

    thanks steve - yes that works as does using the tab key - all well....until i move to another 'space' and then come back again.
    for example: my setup is like this - no2 space has indesign project. no3 space has photoshop. so im working on a page within indesign and i need to edit an image- i double click the pic and it opens in photoshop on the other 'space' save the file and go back to indesign to update pic and find menu/tools all over the place - so hit tab twice back to normal -  until i 'move' out of that space into another - photoshop/ mail/ whatever - as i toggle between spaces the indesign menu will always be 'corrupt' for a better word. hope that makes sense.

  • 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.

  • How can I add RSS feeds to Mail in Mountain Lion?

    There is no longer an option in mail in the File menu, to add RSS feeds to Mail.  When I am in Safari and click on the "Reader" button it gives me directions to go to mail, and click "Add RSS Feed" in the File menu but that option is not there when I am in Mail.  Any suggestions?

  • Desktop wallpaper overlapping Spaces in Mission Control

    This is a weird one. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can't access Spaces in Mission Control properly because I have desktop wallpaper from a previous space overlapping most of the spaces at the top of Mission Control, i.e. desktop wallpaper from Space 1 carrying over onto Space 2 and blocking out the spaces at the top two-thirds of Mission Control (see image).
    This currently occurs with my MBP hooked up to my Thunderbolt Display. (Haven't confirmed this behavior on the MBP alone yet.)

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Unable to move Finder between Spaces in Mission Control

    This problem has been plaguing me for several months now even before I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion. And for some reason I just can't seem to move the Finder (and some other apps) between indvidual spaces in Mission Control. Even worse, when I use my Magic Mouse to swip to another space, the Finder also appears in the other Space as well.
    I tried Repairing Permissions, doing a Safe Boot, Defragmenting (using third party app which did speed up performance but not fix the issue), and restoring from Time Machine backup. Nothing seems to fix it. I'm on a 2009 27 inch iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo. If any of you are experiencing this problem it be great to see if a solution was ever found. My last option would be to completely start from scratch but it be a real hassle for me (with so many third party apps backlogs etc that I'd have to find someway of transferring). Thanks.

    Never mind I just fixed the problem by searching around the community and finding this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4024312
    Anyway it was as simple as holding down the application in the dock and just selecting "Options -> Assign to -> None (rather than All Desktops).

  • My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup

    My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup.  The feature to activate it on the keyboard won't work, also trying to open the app itself doesn't do anything and the multitouch two finger swipe and hpt corners I have setup don't do anything as well.  Any idea on what might be conflicting to cause this?

    Try moving your com.apple.spaces.plist from the preferences folder to the desktop then give it a try.  To get your preference folder you will need to hold down the option key while clicking on the go menu in the finder then click on library then click the preferences folder.

  • How to download purchased installation image of OS X Mountain Lion

    How to download purchased installation image of OS X Mountain Lion for clean boot installation.

    When, and if, you can get Mountain Lioin to download, it will automatically try to install itself. If you want to create a bootable installation disk (disc), quit the installer. You'll have a file in your Applications folder a file named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app". Get yourself either a 8GB+ USB flash drive or use a dual-layer DVD and use Lion DiskMaker to create a bootable installation flash drive or DVD (the USB flash drive will be faster).
    Don't know why you're having trouble with the download, though....

  • How do i do a full reintstall of osx Mountain Lion

    How do I do a full reinstall of OSX Mountain Lion so that all data from my internal hard drive on my Macbook Pro is wiped out and starting fresh?

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Mavericks: How can you deactivate scrolling like you could with Mountain Lion? I mean shut off, nothing else.

    Mavericks, mouse: How can you deactivate scrolling like you could with Mountain Lion? I mean shut off, nothing else, and I need it for photoshop. PS: Apple people: Mavericks is not satisfying - why turn good things bad? Urs Keller, Switzerland

    Open System Preferences then type scrolling in the search field top right corner of that window.
    There may be more than one way to do this for you.

  • How can I get the functionality of the old "Spaces" in Mission Control?

    How can I make Lion show a space number on the top of the screen so I can see which space I am in?
    How can I make Lion switch spaces in a ring? ie? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3,  ...
    How can I make lion switch directly to a numbered space?  ie: 1, 4, 5, 2, etc...
    Without these three capabilities Mission Control is a giant step backward....I am disappointed in the way it works and would liketo know how to disable it and give me back the way spaces used to work.
    Thank you.

    Currently you cannot.

    You cannot organise Mission Control's "Desktops" this way. They are organised in a single row to allow the swipe gestures to work. Apple allows no way to customise this.

    By deafult you should be able toi switch by pressing ctrl plus the desktop number, e.g. ctrl+1. This is the same as Spaces in Snow Leopard. You can customise this under System Preferences (Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Mission Control).

    A lot of people are disapointed with Mission Control. In my opinion it's a step backwards from Spaces & Expose in Snow Leopard but peoples views on this will depend if they used Spaces & Expose in Leopard/Snow Leopard and the type of Mac they are using - it makes some sense on a Macbook Air, for example, with a small screen and multi-touch trackpad but not so much on an iMac or Mac Pro (sames goes for Launchpad). I just hope Apple listens to the criticism and enables customisation options to change the way Mission Control behaves.
