Mavericks hot corners "open all windows"

I've recent upgraded to a newish iMac and Mavericks.  One of the things I use all the time in my work is the hot corner that reveals all open windows and items, so I can quickly swap programs and go to the exact piece of work I need to work on next.
I'm very surprised to find this option missing on Mavericks??  I can reveal each window of the program I'd working in or each open program, but not the combined "all windows' option.
Anyone got a work round?

Found it......... but now have to do it on the keyboard.
Go into system preferences and then mission control, deselect "Group windows by application".  Close System Preferences.  To show all windows simply hit F9.

  • Safari 5.1.1 opens all windows from previous session

    Since updating to Safari 5.1 (maybe 5.0 not sure) Whenever I begin a new session (open Safari from the closed state), it opens ALL the windows I had previously viewed in the previous session! Now, I can plainly see a "button" to do this trick in the History Menu (Open All Windows From Last Session), but I'm NOT clicking on that menu item. It happens exactly when I open Safari. I've looked everywhere for a preference or option to turn that "feature" off, but, Alas, I have not found anything to do so. Mind you, these are NOT windows I had open all at the same time in my previous session, just that I may have been searching for something and either had a bunch of windows open to compare items or used the little tiny red button in the upper left hand corner of the window to close that window and then sometime later, opened a new window with a different URL. Once, it opened so many windows that it ground the dual CPU's to a near halt. I had to shut it down with the power button because "Force Quit" wouldn't come up. This has really been agravating. 
    I'm desparate. Any ideas on how to fix this would be very appreciated.
    My equipment is: 24" iMac 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo / 4GB RAM / 750GB HD purchased in 2007 OS X Lion 10.7.2.

    How To Disable Lion's 'Resume' Feature
    Wednesday July 20, 2011 7:00 pm PDT by Jordan Golson
    Resume is one of the main new features to OS X Lion, one taken directly from iOS:
    Now apps you close will reopen right where you left off, so you never have to start from scratch again. And when you install software updates, you no longer need to save your work, close your apps, and spend valuable time setting everything up again. With Resume, you can restart your Mac and return to what you were doing — with all your apps in the places where you left them.
    Now, this feature might be all well and good, but what if you want your Mac to behave like it did in Snow Leopard? Resume can be easily disabled, but the option is fairly hidden.
    Head to System Preferences and select the General tab. At the bottom of that page is a checkbox labeled "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." If you uncheck that, your apps will continue to behave as they did in Snow Leopard.

  • How to make finder to open all windows in one?

    Hi,
    As you all know, in the Finder, if you open any folder, it opens that folder in a new finder window. I'm very tidy and have many files in many others in many others in many others,,, at the end of the day, I'm stuck with like 10 finder windows to close one by one. I wanted to know how I could set my finder to open everything in the same window, please advise.
    Thank you so much in advance.

    You can also use the Option key productively.
    While in Finder...
    If you hold the Option key down while clicking the Close button for a Finder window (such as a folder's window), all Finder windows will be closed. This works within most programs, too.
    If you hold down the Option key while opening a folder that's nested inside another folder, the enclosing folder will be closed as the one clicked on is opened. This is a handy way to keep things neat as you step down into a hierarchical nest of folders.
    If you are in Program A and hold down the Option key while clicking in a window for Program B, you will switch to Program B and all windows for Program A will be hidden. This works with Finder, too, whether Finder is Program A or Program B in that sequence.
    If you hold down Option-Command while clicking in the window of another program, all windows for all other running programs will be closed. Exception - although this will also close Finder windows, it won't blank the Desktop.

  • Opening all windows from minimise in Lion, instead of 1

    Hello,  I have multiple windows open in Textedit and Chrome, in Lion.  I minimise them. Then when I click on the 'textedit' or 'chrome' icon in the dock at the bottom, instead of all of them opening like they used to, only one does.  To see the other windows I either right click on the icon, and it gives me a list,  or I click on 'show all windows' but that only lets me select one.
    Is there any way, of opening/displaying all the minimised windows at once, by clicking on the dock icon below?

    what you want to do instead is Hide the app.
    try this, right click chrome and hit, hid. this will be the same as if you minimized, and will unhide ALL the windows when you choose to.
    This works and is better then minimizing all the windows that are open.

  • Mavericks hot corners expose

    Is there a way even with a third party app to bring back hot corners in mavericks?

    Hot Corners can be found in System Preferences > Dasktop & Screensavers > Screensavers > bottom right. I have Mission Control set for top left which gives me Exposé.

  • Hot Corners & Expose vs Windows in Fusion

    Hi, I'm a new OS X user (I've had my MBP for a year but finally stopped using bootcamp)
    Anyway, I'm starting to like OS X a lot now that I've figured out many of its features (thanks to these forums, mostly).
    MY QUESTION:
    However, I still need to use windows once in a while and have installed fusion. The problem is the hot corners from Expose that I like so much are problematic when running windows full screen in fusion (i'm used to going to a corner to press the close button or the start button, etc.)
    Is there a way to quickly toggle Expose on/off or, even better, have Expose automatically disabled while I'm using certain programs like Fusion?
    Thanks for your help.

    There's no way to do exactly what you're looking for, but you can do this, which will basically work for you:
    When choosing hot corners, hold down a modifier key (like option, control, shift, or ⌘, or some combination of those, as you see fit).
    Now you'll have to hold down the button/combination of buttons, in addition to moving the mouse into the corner, for hot corners to activate. (You have to press the button before going into the corner.)
    Good luck!

  • I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

    P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

    I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
    there is a description of it.
    Resume in OS X Lion
    When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
    Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
    In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
    99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

  • I have already tried to disable the message to open all windows on restart through System Preferences.. No matter what I do, I cannot override this feature? Any thoughts?

    I have tried to override the feature found in the close/restart dialog box on reboot or shutdown. I have clicked the box on the dialog box and it continus to reopen pevious windows. I tried changing the setting in System Preferences, with no luck. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Mavericks - Hot Corners Start Screensaver Not Working

    Title says it all?  Am I alone on this...  Drop a line my dearest Apple community!

  • How do I open with one click all the windows that I have been minimized? When I right click on the lower bar Firefox icon, I only see the option to close all windows.

    It is used to be that I could right click on the Firefox icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and I would then be given the option to open all windows. Now I only see the option to close all windows. The ability to open all windows is very useful. Have you eliminated this capability? It was a very helpful feature because I often have more than 15 windows minimized at one time. On a regular basis I like to open them all and keep only the ones that I still need. I know that it is possible to see the name of each window that is minimized by moving my cursor over the Firefox icon, but this does not provide enough information. So I have to open each window one at a time to look at it and then decide to close it or keep it - this is a frustrating, time-consuming process. Is there another way to open all the minimized windows at the same time, instead of one at a time?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    * Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    * Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

  • Hot corners work for exposé but not for screensaver

    There are several fairly specialized posts in these forums about hot corners, but my problem is a very simple one: whereas I can use hot corners to control windows, etc., I cannot make them work to turn the screensaver on or off. In the Leopard forum, there is a reference to an article in MaxFixIt, but it is only accessible by MacFixIt Pro subscribers (amongst whom I am not numbered). Were it not for the fact that hot corners seem to work for me as far as Exposé is concerned, I might have guessed that my problem is caused by the fact that the eMac has a CRT display and not a LED one. But the hot corners do work for Exposé, so that cannot be the answer. I trust someone will be able to find the correct answer and tell me how to make them work for the screensaver.

    Further to my question, I think I need to be more specific. I have set the top left corner to start the screensaver and top right to disable it. There is no trouble with top left: the screensaver starts. But that is actually fairly trivial: I have it set to come on anyway after 3 minutes. But if I leave my cursor in the top right corner ('disable screensaver'), I expect the screensaver not to come on after 3 minutes; that is what 'disable' means. But it does come on: that is my problem.
    Surely 'disable' cannot mean 'stop'? If one moves the cursor while the screensaver is running, it instantly stops anyway, so why use a hot corner? Surely it must mean 'do not start up after whatever time is normally specified', so that, for instance, one can watch a slide-show of photographs without interruption?

  • Hot corners mac

    Will there be support for hot corners on the mac. I have hot corners enabled on the device, however, if the remote desktop software could disable it so i can use the hot corners on the windows OS would be a welcomed
    feature. Much like the VMware works.

    Hi,
    It seems still there is no such available functionality. But thanks for request, might get into consideration for future.
    Thanks.

  • Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    I came up with an alternative solution.
    Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
    When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

    iPhoto will not load the iPhoto library.  When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it.  I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

    I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
    recreate the library I believe.  It's been a while so I cant remember
    exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
    have had no problems with it.

  • Displaying all application windows through Hot Corners is no longer working.

    I have my MacBook Pro and my iMac setup to display APPLICATION WINDOWS through the upper right HOT CORNER.   It is no longer working on my iMac.  Instead, the system only displays the top/recent used window.  The display separates and shows the most recent window floating, but, no longer does it arrange windows of each application on the desktop.  There are no other options, it's either set in HOT CORNERS or not.   What changed?   It still works on my MacBook.  Version update = 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
