HT4689 Restoring mission control setting within a single application

My "control+down" function is no longer working properly. Instead of allowing me to view multiple files of the same application (ie. word files), the files are moving completely out of view. How can I restore this setting? Thanks!

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 to? switch between the following mission control preference "group windows by application" on the fly? OR have both readily available

Is there any way to switch between the following mission control preference "group windows by application" on the fly? I would like to turn this feature on and off quickly. OR have both readily available?
If osx 10.9 does not support this, does any one know if automater can be used to creat a short cut to turn this preferance on and off?
Current solution (not much of a solution)
I currently added the preferance control icon for mission control on my dock.

Do you mean the general System Preferences icon? ...If so, it's possible to put the icon specifically for the Mission Control pane in the Dock:
I'm on Mountain Lion and that Preference Pane is in: Macintosh HD > System (not Users) > Library > PreferencePanes > Expose.prefPane
...Drag that Expose.prefPane to the right-hand side of the Dock, say, next to the Trash. Then you can simply click on the resulting Expose Prefs icon in the Dock to open its Prefs panel.

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?

Possible for JRockit Mission Control to Monitor Multiple Web Applications

I have some questions regarding JRockit and Weblogic Server.
The JRockit Mission Control allows users to monitor JRockit JVMs.
If a JVM runs a Weblogic server instance which runs a couple of web aplications, is it possible to monitor individual web applications separately?
If it's possible, is there any kind soul who can guide me through the process in setting up.
Please assist. Many Thanks!
Thanks,
Benjamin

Hi,
You can use *"wlnav.war"* which is freely available on net. to monitor Servers along with some of the Application attributes like application state/ Session count/ ...etc
"wlnav.war" actually uses WebLogic MBeans to get the details of the Server and Applications...Same thing we can do using our own MBean JMX Codes as well... But still these JMX codes will not be able to tell exactly that which object belongs to which Application.
Thanks

Stop Mission Control from re-arranging my applications

I am using a MacBook Air late 2013, (Mavericks 10.9) with 2 external screens.
I use Mission Control a lot and the OS is constantly re-arranging my opened apps based on most recent use.
I unchecked that option in the settings already, but it still doing it
Are there any other settings I need to take care of?
Thanks

There's a System Preference in Mission Control for that:
System Preferences > Mission Control > (uncheck) Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use

How to control/set window size of applications?

When I press "command-shift-A" my application folder opens on the desktop. However, it always opens in a very small size requiring me to enlarge the window to see the entire folder. How can I set a default size of the entire screen when this window opens? thank you.

Open the folder and resize it to what you want. Now close it.
It should open to that size. If it doesn't, you've got some problems which I'll have to search around cuz I can't remember how to fix them.

Mission control is activated by my shift key even though i have it set to ctrl, up. how do i make it stop? i can't capitalize anything without using the right shift key.

in playing with key commands to activate mission control in the system preferences i have somehow made my left shift key one of the keys to activate it even though it does not show it in system preferences. i need my left shift key for typing and having mission control come up all the time is a pain! how do i make it stop?
I evidently didn't leave system preferences properly or something. I fixed it by going back to system preferences and changing the keyboard shortcuts to "-" then quitting system preferences by command Q. Then I went back in and reset the mission control setting to us cntrl, up and then command Q and now it all works fine.

E and C keys on wireless keyboard activate Mission Control

I just set up a wireless keyboard with my Macbook Air. For some reason, the E and C keys activate Mission Control at random times. I went to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts and restored everything to default but it still doesn't fix the problem. I also can't find any direct associations between these keys and Mission Control in the Mission Control setting. Help!

In case anyone is curious, I solved this issue by upgrading to OS X 10.6.4. The brightness and volume function keys now control these functions properly.

App Expose and Mission Control in Lion

Several people have posted, confused by how App Expose works. I hope to clarify the function of App Expose and Mission Control.
APP EXPOSE
App Expose in Lion works differently than Expose did in Snow Leopard.
App Expose is intended to show all open windows from the same application.
Expose used to show all open windows from all applications.
To test App Expose in Lion, open two (or more) separate windows in Safari (or any application). Three-finger swipe down on your trackpad and App Expose will reveal your two (or more) open Safari windows.
MISSION CONRTOL
In Lion, the most similar thing to the old Expose (from Snow Leopard) is the new Mission Control.
To test Mission Control, open several applications. Three-finger swipe up on your trackpad and Mission Control will reveal all open applications, dashboard and spaces. If you have multiple windows open in a single applications (like three separate Safari windows, for example), MIssion Control groups those same-app windows together.

Mission Control ended years of divergent attempts to manage windows and widgets, consolidating Expose, Dashboard, and Spaces into a new Mac interface.

Mission Control - Suggestion

Hi there,
me and a friend discussed the new Mission Control and its way to organize windows. When one have a lot of windows open Mission Control beautifuly organizes one's windows to preview miniatures, and it's really great. Though, when one have only three windows open, for example, Safari, Mail and Spotify (running all three semi-fullscreen, dragged to maximize), Mission Control stack up these windows on each other. This feels both less beautiful and, more important, less effective.
Am I the only one who would like the kind of miniature previews all the time, not depending how many windows are open?
Tried to post example pictures, but they were to big, I'll post them later when I've scaled them down.
Miniature:
Not miniature:

My friend also told me Mission Control behaves different depending what application one is using. When he runs Skype, Safari and Spotify he gets the miniatures, but when he closes Skype and opens iTunes instad, the stacking mode is on.

Application's windows are lost under Mission Control with Mavericks

Since I updated to Mavericks, once I start applications, when I use Mission Control, the windows of those applications are lost from the screen. I have to restart the computer in order to be able to work again, or close those applications and restart the

Are you using multiple screens? Does your problem behave like this one?

HT4689 do i have to use mission control or can i set it to another method ?

I don't have a sensor mouse, i am using an old mouse and don't really feel like buying a whole new mouse. Do I have to use mission control or can I get an app to customize the computer to my personal style?

Mission Control is just one way someone can navigate their mac.
I personally never use it.
There are plenty of application for using your mac, but there are a lot of built in shortcuts you can make for it too.
If you did, sort of want to use mission control, but don't have a touch sensitive device to bring it up, you can do a couple of things that the mac already is capable of doing without having to purchase anything new or download a third party app.
1. Hot Corners.
Hot corners are a way to access some of the most important tasks for your computer. you can set hot corners in System Preferences>Mission Control then click "Hot Corners" button on the bottom left of the window and the settings will slide down and look like this. Choose the pulldown menu for whichever corner you want mission control to be in and then move your mouse cursor to that corner. As you can see there are other options for hot corners to help you better control and customize your machine.
2. Spotlight.
spotlight is a powerful tool and is often times overlooked by novices.
hit cmd and space bar at the same time (cmd+spacebar) and up pops a search box in the upper right corner of your screen. start typing an application or a file you want to be opened. spotlight automagically begins guessing what you're searcing for.
I use spotlight a lot and it keeps my desktop very clean of anything that I'm not working on or with.
if the first selection in the list is what you wanted you can hit enter. Sometimes all I need to do is type in a few letters and then "enter" and the application is loading up in no time. It also bring open apps to the front.
3. Keyboard Shortcuts
there is a way to make your keyboard's Function keys act as "hotspots" as well.
go to system preferences>keyboard and you can set your own keyboard shortcuts or see the ones that are preset in OSX. These are here to help you navigate your mac faster.
Another keyboard shortcut I like is cmd+tab. if you hold down the command key, and you tap on the Tab key, a thing called "Application Switcher" appears. This lets you see what is open and also lets you select which one you want to come to the forefront. you can continue to hold the command key down after hitting tab to use your cursor to select the application or continually hit tab with the command key down until it is highlighting the app you want.
Not completely sure what you wanted or didn't want mission control for or what alternatives you wanted to know but here are a few that will make your workflow fast and you, one step closer to being a power user.

Is it possible to set IN/OUT points for video effects within a single clip in PE4?

Hello,
In PE4, Is it possible to use keyframes to simply turn certain video effects on/off at different points within a single clip ?
Some effects (i.e. Invert)have a Blend With Original setting which makes this easy to achieve, but others (i.e. Ripple)do not.
I understand how to use keyframes to adjust effect properties at different points within a clip, I just can't find a way to simply 'turn-off' or bypass an effect for a period of time.
Thanks All, CB

Chris,
As Steve points out, most Effects are OFF, by default (usually setting their parameters to 0). I just add a Keyframe for that Effect, with those properties, where you want the Effect to be OFF (but check that each Effect that you use starts as OFF, just to be sure). Then, in between the OFF settings, I add Keyframes with the desired parameters to invoke that particular Effect.
One can also use the Razor/Sissors to cut the Clip into segments (just do not move them) to keep the Keyframes in one area of the original Clip. I usually work on the entire Clip, as once the Keyframe is set to OFF for that Effect, no more Keyframes are needed.
Some Effects also have a Bypass setting, that can be Keyframed (in P Pro, and assume in PE). This can be handy to fully turn OFF any Effect. Note: even in P Pro, not all Effects have a Bypass setting.
As usual with PE (and P-Pro and PS), there can be a couple of ways to accomplish the same thing. One can choose the method that suits them best.
Good luck,
Hunt

Turn back the app history within Expose/Mission Control, Turn back the app history within Expose/Mission Control

For some wierd reason & can't remember if I toyed with the settings under System Preferences but it looks like when I swipe with four fingers down within an app for expose I don't get to see all the previously viewed items with the app. Any suggestions?

I agree with everything you said about full screen apps, mission control and launchpad. For apps that made sense to run full screen, they already could under SL. Launchpad is totally unnecessary and Mission Control is a mere shadow of Expose and Spaces.
However, I feel you have not given due credit to Spaces. The point of Spaces is to let one organise logical desktops for different tasks, not just a way to reduce the number of windows on display. For example, I have a Space for software development where I run Xcode and the iPhone simulator, a Firefox window showing perhaps documentation or some other websites pertaining to software development, a Finder window that is opened in the folder with my design docs. I have another Space where I have the remote login sessions, yet another Space with another Firefox window where I do general surfing and emailing. I can switch between these spaces using a keyboard shortcut, which is much quicker than having to lift my hand off the keyboard, move it over to the mouse, move the mouse pointer over the Dock, find the app and click on it, only to find that it has switched to the wrong window of the app.
Without Spaces, organisation of my desktop is disrupted each time I want to switch task, whereas Spaces allows me to drop everything I am doing, go and do something completely different for a while and go back to my exact previous environment. I have a 27" iMac so am not short of screen space but I use Spaces extensively. BTW, switching Spaces using a keyboard shortcut is a lot faster on SL than the equivalent on Lion, thanks to the gratuitous screen animation of the latter.

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:
