HT4689 Can we make mission control not stack the windows of the same app?

I often have multiple Word windows open and it's very hard to find the one I need when they are stacked in Mission Control. I like the fact that with a four-finger swipe you can see all the open programs, but it's not quite useful if apps are stacked (so I can't find which is which), and minimized apps apps are not shown.
In comparison, MS Windows makes it easier to locate an open program although less fancy-looking.

Hi keclear,
If you would prefer that Mission Control not stack the open windows for each application, you may want to turn off the "Group windows by application" setting. You may find the following article helpful:

  • How can I get Mission Control to Unstack all of my Applications?

    When I have multiple applications open in the same desktop and I swipe 4 up to access my different applications mission control always stacks my applications on top of each other, this occurs usually when i have 3 or different applications open, Is there is setting where i can get it so it used to be like snow leopard and all my applications are seperated and not stacked on top of each other?
    here's a pic of what it looks like. Any help will be appreciated

    you mean something like this (see below)?
    Now you may have to implement code to check if the destination folder exists and to create it, etc.  But if you use the Front Panel Control to select the destination folder, it should be okay.
    Not the best implementation, mind you but you'll get the idea..

  • How can one use Mission Control with two monitors?  Please bring Spaces back

    How can one use Mission Control with two monitors.  With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
    SyBB

    I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
    Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

  • Mission Control not loading

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't load mission control:
    - The fingers up move on the track pad doesn't do anything.
    - The hot corners do not work.
    - When I select an app in the dock, it doesn't go to the right space anymore.
    - I can't add / remove spaces, the icons for it do not appear.
    When I try to load mission control nothing happens, it quits instantly: no error, no console output, etc.
    I have attached a trace of the app, in case it can help find what is wrong: http://pastebin.com/0FRFf3Q8
    I have no idea where to look!

    Can anyone run a trace of "Mission Control" for me? I want to see what it does as mine is not working at all.
    The steps are as follow:
    1) kill mission control so it's not running
    sudo killall "Mission Control"
    2) open a shell and type:
    sudo dtruss -afs -n "Mission Control" > ~/Desktop/trussoutput.txt
    3) load mission control
    by clicking on the icon..
    The output of the shell will go to a file called 'trussoutput.txt' on your desktop; if you could send me that file, or put the contents on pastebin.com, it would help be greatly in trying to figure out what is happening. Mine seems to be stopping abruptly after loading the GSS library...
    thanks!

  • Can't open mission control after installing mountain lion

    Mountain Lion is working smoothly for me except that I can't open mission control. I became aware of this because the "hot corners", which I use frequently stopped working for me. Maybe there's a preference file somewhere I can trash? I can't seem to find anything in the library.

    I'm having the same issue.  Not only the hot corners not work for mission contral, but neither do the keyboard shortcuts.  A restart fixes the problem for me, until my iMac (2011) goes to sleep and is woken up again.  After that, the mission contral functionality no longer works, and neither does the "show desktop" hot corner functionality.

    How can I make an Apple ID without credit card if the "none" tab is not visible to me?
    Help me out please

    Hello, aligt9p. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    To create an Apple ID without a credit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

  • How can i make my keyboard not to appear on my i pad, how can i make my keyboard not to appear on my i pad

    how can i make my keyboard not to appear on my i pad, how can i make my keyboard not to appear on my i pad? couse i want to play a game and is coming on the screen is really iritating ..

    You cannot have the keyboard gone altogether, because it has to come up when an app needs input. The best way to do what you want to do is make sure that no apps are running when you are to go gaming: double click the Home button, swipe up all pages that show (not the app icon but the app page). then start the gaming. It it then still comes up, you look at what app is asking for it and set push notifiactions and autotarting off for that app in the settings.

  • Pop Up - how can I make the window in the backround visible?

    Hi,

  • Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows?

    Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray so I cannot start audio chat. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not? I am confused.

    HI,
    You need to satisfy several things along the way
    Account type
    You need to have a Jabber or Google mail Account your self.
    If you have a Google Mail Account then it needs the "Talk" option Enabled in your Google account Settings ( A Facebook with "Chat" enabled is also a  valid Jabber ID to use in iChat).
    Connection Method
    This is about which apps can connect to which apps for Video ro Audio to work.
    iChat Video when using a Jabber account is iChat to iChat Only.
    iChat connects using a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
    Jabber based Apps if they have  an A/V module connect using protocol called Jingle.
    Needless to say Google do their own version of this that is written in to the web Browser Plugin that allows Video Chats (there are PC and Mac versions), and in the PC app called GoogleTalk.
    However it is also not that compatible with other Jabber apps.
    See Jingle here
    This claims, now, that Google had a hand in writing the Protocol.
    Also in the "Clients Supporting Jingle" list many more version of Google products are mentioned with extended info. (it suggests that someone at Google has been editing the page).
    Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not?
    The specific answer to this to be clear is NO.
    We are talking about different Apps (or web Browser Plugins) using different Internet Protocols that are not compatible.
    The simplest thing is to get the Web Browser Plugin (However there can be issues with the  Flash Plugin)
    At one time Google used Flash to do Video Chats and it would seem their Plugin is very close to this part of Flash.
    See the Known Issues and the "Google Talk Plugin Disables iSight On Mac" item.
    Options
    Use a Web Browser yourself with the Plugin.
    Use a Flash Base Site such as MeBeam  (Flash has to be enabled in your Browser and the instructions are simple on the page)
    Try to find a Jingle capable Mac Jabber Client (app) ( I have not found one).

  • Customize mission control to show only windows from current desktop Space

    Finder in Mission Control is a mess, a mega super huge mess, when you are a multitask user, and have 2, 3... differents desktops doing different task, usually there are at least one common app, Finder, with multiple windows (thanx God, thanx! for bring Finder tabs in Mavericks, You rocks...), and when you brow just "app windows" Mission control shows you the hundred and so windows you has been opened arround all the desktops!!!
    SO, whats the point here??? why in **** anyone would to want all the Finder windows opened in the "photography deticated desktop" messed with the windows at the "videogames desktop" and the "receipts/budget" desktop?
    please, anyone, tell me that I'm a complete fool and this can be easly fixed with a few clics...

    You can open Mission Control, which will show your main space at first, and 4-finger swipe right (on Macbook Pro, I don't know the keys without a trackpad) to switch to the next. You will only see the active windows in the other space then.

  • I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

    I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
    iselect the customer?

    Hi bazza,
    We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
    First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
    Here is the formula in G2
    =CONCATENATE(B2&"
    ",C2&"
    ",D2&"
    ",E2)
    It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
    This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
    Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
    base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
    row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
    What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
    column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
    we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
    If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.
