How to Show Every Open Window in the Dock

Is there an option to show every open window in the dock?
I have checked & tested the options but it seems somewhat selective as to which open windows appear in the dock down near the apps folder & trash. Some appear at times, but not every window, every time.

If you mean how to restore all Finder windows that have been collapsed tot he dock, this may help:

  • My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).  The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard?  This just started in last week after 6 months of use

    My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). 
    The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard. 
    This just started in last week after 6 months of use.  The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
    Suggestions greatly appreciated.

    I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support.  Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences.  Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
    A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key).  I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility.  The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
    Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

  • Opening windows behind the dock

    I like to have my dock shown all the time, so I leave hiding turned off. Something I've noticed with Snow Leopard 10.6.x is that Windows can no longer re-open in their same location if they are left closed behind the dock boundaries (the reserved screen edge).
    In Leopard 10.5.x opening a window, for example Adium, tucked neatly in the bottom-right corner's screen edges (with the dock displayed), allows it to be opened in the exact same location.
    In Snow Leopard 10.6.x re-opening this window forces it to open outside of the dock's reserved screen edge boundaries. So for instance, if I have my dock displayed on the bottom edge, re-opening this window will force it to open above the bottom edge. The larger my dock-icon size is, the further away from the bottom-edge my windows open.
    Electing to have your dock auto-hide fixes this issue, but as my preference, I want my dock on-screen all the time. I wish this functionality could be restored from Leopard 10.5.x, or has it been? Does anyone know of a way to re-open windows in their same position if they where closed behind dock boundaries?

    Thank you for your swift reply K T!

    Somethings you might try : (1) shrinking the dock so it doesn't extend full width (2) positioning your dock to the left or right edge instead of along the bottom of the screen.
    Positioning the dock on the right-edge of the screen reserves the right edge. Window's can not re-open in the same position if they were closed on the right-edge. Same thing applies for the left edge, and obviously the bottom edge.
    I suppose if I use the bottom-right edge of the screen for my Adium IM chat windows, I could put the dock on the left-edge. But this is really nothing more than a quick work-around. I wish there was an actual resolution to the issue, like a terminal command which displayed the dock and vacated that reserved edge.

  • How do I zoom a window over the dock when option is locked

    I have a non administrator account which my kids use. I want to be able to zoom a browser window to take up the whole screen., OS X won't let me make the browser window cover the dock. The dock is gigantic by default.
    1. Is there a way to "zoom" a browser/screen/window to full screen size?
    2. If not, then I have another problem. For this non admin account, the system preferences for the Dock are "greyed out" (insensitive) for Position on Screen and "Automatically hide and show the Dock"
    Message was edited by: Brad Shuler1

    is that account just a regular standard account or do you have parental controls on it? if so do you use simple finder? please clarify. using simple finder limits what you can do with the dock.

  • An OS before 10.10 provided shortcut f10 to "show all open windows".  How do we do that with 10.10?

    It Has been very convenient at times to review all open windows, especially when working on multiple projects that clutter the desktop.  Without the f10 shortcut, I can't easily find my way through the mishmash piled high on my desktop.  How do we "show all open windows" with Yosemite??

    I'm guessing you are referring to "Mission Control" - the keyboard shortcut for this is set in "System Preferences" then "Mission Control" and I think the default when the system is first setup is F3, not F10. So check out "System Preferences" and see what it currently is and if you want to change it to the F10 go ahead and change it there, along with any of the other shortcuts you might have had before with the previous OS X version.
    Good luck...

  • How can I make different windows of the same application I have open remain on their respective desktops/spaces after reboot?

    Hi all,
    I use the same applications for work, entertainment and other personal activities, so it's impossible to simply assign different apps to different desktops/spaces. Thus, I have open windows of the same programs (Pages, TextEdit, Preview) arranged on several desktops. If I reboot my laptop, the windows are just crammed on Desktop 1. Can something be done about it?

    Barney,
    many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
    Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
    btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
    I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
    Thanks,
    equi

  • How to see all open windows at once?

    It use to be that in OSX I could hit F3 and all of the open documents on my screen would spread out so I could see everything at once.  Now with the new OS, F3 just makes every open window pile up according to what application its from.  This is NOT an improvement!  Is there a way that I can get around this.  I often have 10 or more files open in Photoshop and I need to be able to see them all at once in order to make selections or see what has been gathered.

    Did some testing -
    Normally I use a wired keyboard. On it, F10 spreads the application's windows.
    When I turn my wireless keyboard on, F10 on it is indeed the Mute function. But, at the same time F10 on the wired keyboard still spreads windows.
    Hmm, this could cause a lot of confusion....

    How  did you install GarageBand on your Mac? Did it come preinstalled with the other iLife applications?
    If your MacOS supports the AppStore, you should be able to redownload GarageBand from the AppStore, see this support Article: OS X: About OS X Recovery on how to download again:
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section.

  • How many shows can I DVR at the same time?

    I just signed up for FiOS triple play with preferred HD, premium stations, 75/75 internet and phone. I was watching a show the other night and DVR'd 2 shows - got a message saying I couldn't do that. How many shows can I DVR at the same time? Can I still watch a live show while DVR's recording?
    This is SO frustrating!

    Every regular DVR has 2 tuners It can recordp to 2 shows at a time.
    If both tuners are in use,, then you can't watch anything else.
    Want to record more, get more DVRs or upgrade to Quantum.
    Lowere level has 6 tuners. THey support remote TVs and recording.
    THere agin, you can get combination of channels being watched and recorded up to 6.
    Need even more, upgrade to higher level and have 12 tuners to share.

  • Full screen mode: How to switch between open windows?

    Hi There,
    Is there way to get CMD + ` working in full screen mode?
    Other shortcuts like CMD + OPT [ ] to switch between open tabs and CMD + TAB to switch apps seem to work - but without the ability to switch between open windows within the same app, full screen mode is kind of useless.
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    BTW I'm using Yosemite but the forums won't find a Yosemite community (not sure the community search is working properly)

  • Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Not sure I understand the question but it could be because you meant to say "can't" somewhere in the sentence.  anyway, just guessing here:
    Try going to:
    File >> Watch folders
    Now you can Add new folders here that you see them in Windows.  The word ADD is a button to browse for the folders and hopefully this will solve the problem you are having.
