Lost feature viewing all active windows
MacBook, Yosemite
Just upgraded to 10.10.2. Used to be able to see all the active windows in Words, for example, by pointing the mouse to the lower right corner. Don't know what that feature is called, so can't find instructions.
I checked for "multiple screen" display, but I get the message: "The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer." so I assume that's not it...
Thanks!
Hello LinaOdi,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're looking for the Hot Corners feature. You can find this setting by choosing Apple menu > System Preferences, then clicking Mission Control. Look for the Hot Corners button in the lower left corner of the window.
You can set your preferred hot corner to "Application Windows" to see all windows of a single application, or "Mission Control" to see windows for all the open apps on your Mac.
Check out this link for more help with Mission Control:

Cheers,
Jeremy

How can I view 2 active windows within a program simultaneously?
Using Windows programs on a PC, I could often use the "Window" menu to access the commands (something like) "Tile Vertical" or "Tile Horizontal" to view 2 active windows within a program on the screen simultaneously with a click or 2 of the mouse. I am finding that with a Mac I must manually resize and position 2 active windows to view them simultaneously. Am I missing something or is the manual method my only option? Thank you so much for any suggestions.
Yes, it's the only built-in option. There are several third-party window managers that provide the type of functionality you are looking for. You can find them at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. For example,
Window Tiles
FlexiGlass
There are others with varying types of features and options. -
How can I get Expose to show only and all active windows, regardless of app
Sometimes I have two applications running with several finder windows hidden on the dock. I'd like to know how I can (or if I can) get Expose to show only the Active windows - not the ones on the dock. With this new upgrade, it seems that all open windows that are on the dock appear in a row at the bottom of the screen, which takes up real estate - can I turn that function off so just the open, undocked windows of all apps show?
Sounds like you opened a message in a new window. Have you tried closing that window and see what happens?
If that is not it maybe you can post a screen shot of what you are seeing. -
Lost thumbnail view in library window
All my photos now display full size rather than thumnails as a result of my baby daughter hitting a key and for the life of me I can't work out how to get it back. Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
AdrianI believe is is the size bar in the lower right that will resize the pictures for you.
I have an issue with iPhoto myself. When I click the icon in my menu bar iphoto starts up but the library window that contains all the pictures does not appear. Any ideas on this one? Thanks....Mike -
Need to add Authorization to view all activity across the organization
Hi !
I need to assign a user the authorization to display ALL activites by ALL users. How do I do it !!
Thanks!Hi Pratap,
Could you re-frame your question for better understaning.
I understood in this way.
If you want user to have display all. Create a role with copy of SAP_ALL profile and change activity to 03 and assing this role to user.
I could not understand what do you mean by all users?

Active window jumps to viewer window out of timeline for no reason
Active window jumps to viewer window out of timeline for no reason. For example I will be editing in timeline and all of sudden I will try a keyboard shortcut but it will take effect in the viewer window and not in the timeline. Is this something I am doing wrong? This never happened in the last year I have been using FCPX until a few months ago it started happening. Already tried trashing prefs, restarting, etc. etc.

Trash FCP preferences.

How do I restore it?View webpages in full screen
In many applications on the Mac, including Safari, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. You can make a webpage full-screen with one click, and switch to another webpage (or full-screen window in another application) with a swipe of the trackpad.
IMPORTANT:Viewing in full screen, and the Mission Control feature, are available only if you have Mac OS X v10.7 Lion or later. For information on upgrading Mac OS X, go to the Mac OS X website.
OS X website
To enlarge a webpage so it uses the screen, click the arrows in the top-right corner of an application window:
To move from one window to another in full screen view, swipe left and right, or press the arrow keys on your keyboard.
To return to standard view, click the arrows in the window’s upper-right corner:
If you prefer viewing webpages in full screen, Mission Control lets you see everything running on your Mac, including your full screen windows. Mission Control presents your full screen windows as thumbnail images, making it easy for you to move from one to another. -
Safari activity window not showing all items?
Hi
I have been using safari's activity window for downloading all sorts of media by using the activity window. However, the items in the activity window no longer show up. On youtube for example, the mb file is no longer showing up in the windows activity like it use to. In the past, when this problem occurred, refreshing the page would fix this problem but this method is no longer working. I have noticed that this problem is only happening to youtube. When i went to vimeo, the video file could still be viewed in the activity window whilst it was loading, e.g. 1.3 mb of 30mb. I am using a macbook pro running on mac os x with safari version 5.0.3.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.Thanks for the reply B Noir, but the issue seems to have resolved itself today Thanks for your advice though

In want to copy a portion of a URL from the "View" --> "Page Source" window and paste it in my favorite text editor. This used to be a simple action with my mouse (mark portion with left mouse button, dump copy into editor window with middle mouse button). In Firefox 3.6.9, it is not plain text in the "Page Source" window but active hyperlinks (cursor shape changes) and takes me to the website of that URL, which I don't want. How can I get the original behavior (plain text page source) back?
The code taht you have shown is not the template, it is a document that has been created from a template and renamed with a dwt extension.
If you load the document into DW then go to menu item Modify->Templates->Detach from Template and save the file, you will have your original template called index.dwt and located in the Templates subdirectory. -
I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive. I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes. With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files. When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive. I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive. Can anyone help? I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world. Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me! Help !
In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

Before I updated to ios5 there was a number lit up on the task bar (next to bookmarks) which were all the windows I like to keep open. Now, after updating I can't find that feature in settings. I don't like all the different tabs along the top. Can anyone help me please?? I just want to click on the number and have all of my open windows there!
I don't think that is an option. iOS 5 new features is tabbed browsing, it replaced the old window interface.
