Mission Control and Docked items?

Hello. I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. Back in Snow Leopard, Expose would reveal docked items in my window array. Now, with Mission Control, docked items are not included. I can't find a setting that will bring this function back. Not a huge deal, but I kind of miss it. Anyone know how to make it happen?

Have you launched the System Preferences app and selected the Misson Control tab? There you can set the preferences and my first guess is that the preferences were reset (for some reason) to nothing.

Mission Control and the dock -- strange behavior

Go to Mission Control and click on an open application's dock icon: Lion acts very erratically. It might switch the right app. It might switch to some other app.
Note: Have a couple of full-screen apps, like Safari, Mail or iTunes, open.
This is driving me crazy. Since the dock isn't displayed in full-screen apps, I tend to do the four-finger-up gesture to get to the Mission Control screen to get to the dock to switch to another open app. I recognize that there are other ways to switch apps, but shouldn't this way work work, too?

I feel your pain. "Over 250 exciting new features" was the promise. I, literally, have found ZERO new features that are useful. Yes, that's right---not a single one.
And for the record....I am a long-time Apple fan, and Apple addict. My first computer was in 1985 and it was an Apple. Every computer ever since has been Apple. I've never had a complaint---until now. I'll just say it in plain English---Lion is GARBAGE. I have found absolutely, positively, nothing useful about it---zip, zero, nada! Now I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of this junk and put Snow Leopard back on. Apple should be ashamed---this is pitiful. And my computer has NEVER EVER crashed before (well, okay..I'm sure it has at some point over the last 26 years..but I don't recall when). But now my computer crashes at least 3 times per day. Un-fricking-believable.

[bug] Can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

I can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

I recently moved my dock to the right so I didn't know the + sign would switch sides. I normally run around that many too depending on how large of a stack whatever I am programming is using.
Anyways, thanks for the help

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight,Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight, Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.

Macbook pro w/ Mavericks - right command and right option functioning as shortcuts for mission control and show desktop

Hello,
All of a sudden my right command and right option keys are functioning as shortcuts for mission control and show desktop respectively. I haven't changed anything and can't seem to find any shortcut option in system preferences to change it. Control + up still works for mission control as default, and F11 is still show desktop. Left command and left option are working as normal.
Any suggestions? I have a feeling theres some silly little thing I've missed...
Thanks.

Hello benja_d
That is an interesting issue with the keyboard. To help isolate the issue, open up the Keyboard view to see if there are any keys being held down while you are typing to see if that is the issue. You will also will want to try this in another user on your computer to see if it something that is User specific or system wide. Let me know if you have figured out this part and I can help you further.
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Command opens Mission Control and can't over ride it

Everytime you hit cmd every window resizes pulling you out of the app you were in and unable to use any shortcuts! Really annoying.
The cmd key alone isn't assigned to any shortcut in system preferences>keyboard>shortcuts, nor is it assigned to anything in mission control?!
Restore defaults doesn't solve it.
Really at a loss so any thoughts really appreciated.

Sounds like you've got something else running that is messing with Mission Control. Do you have anything like 'Total Spaces' installed?
If not, the first thing to try is open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app) and type or paste this command into the Terminal window:
killall Dock
Then press 'return' on the keyboard. You should see the Dock disappear for a second or two then reappear. Now go and test Mission Control. Same problem?

Trackpad is presenting a bug to open and close windows, mission control, and to move/roll the application (App) up and down.

Totally out of the blue, my trackpad is presenting a "bug". Every time that I try to open and close my mission control, or in the moments that I move / roll up and downs the Applications Screen, my Mac freezes for less than a second.
It never suffered any damage (NEVER!)! I am feeling very frustrated because I have no idea about what could cause such problem.
My MacBook Air is running OS X 10.9.5.
Any help will be very welcome!

Well, it all really depends on the custom program and how it was written. Does it have an ActiveX interface? If it does, than that's the easiest way to go. If you put an automation refnum on the fron panel, you can right click and it and choose Select ActiveX Class>Browse. The browser will list all of the ActiveX type libraries that are registered on your system. If you can find one that refers to your custom program, then you should be able to use it's methods and properties to control. If it does not have an ActiveX interface, then things get much more difficult.

Mission control and separation of windows

When going into mission control you can tell for example if you have 5 ms word windows but they are all stacked on top of each other. Can they be more organized like when you right click and hit show all windows?
Also when dragging in mission control can you achieve the same goal making the dragged window stay in that spot and not allow it to move back apart from putting it to a new desktop?
Thanks.

I found what is causing the problem, and solved also the other problem I had with locking the screensaver in System Preferences
Very simple, now that I tried everything for days
I used a different password for my keychain
If I use the same one for both my login and the keychain everything goes back in place
and works!

Mission Control and desktops .. can I do this?

So I am setting up 3 desktops.
One is for my music program
one is for my websites
and one graphic design eg Photoshop
Is there any way to have safari in desktop 1 and 3 but not on 2?
Right now I can only find the option of it being in one or all.
So for instance I want to have music websites on one desktop already open and then graphics websites already open on another desktop
then I can just sitch using the control - arrow function (using mission control of course).
Right now it only allows safari on one desktop or on all and when in all.. the same open windows appear in all desktops.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks Barney,,

Mission Control and Expose Problems

All of a sudden my mission control gestures have stopped working. Three fingers up did expose all the windows, but not all the desktops. After restarting my computer, the three fingers up or down doesn't work at all, and the launchpad doesn't make the background disappear as it used to. I tried multiple ways of fixing the issue, including turning all the gestures off and restarting and turning them all back on. Can anyone help me fix this? It is a real pain. Also, three fingers side to side still switches between the desktops.

Four fingers does bring me to mission control, but there is no bar at the top that shows the desktops that I have made. Also, sometimes it glitches and all the windows disappear for a few seconds until I go back and forth across all the desktops a few times. I remember when I went into launchpad before the windows I was working on would fade away, and they don't do that anymore either.

Mission Control and 64bit JVM

Is there a problem running Mission Control on a 64bit OS. Specifically I have a Java app (a Coherence cache server) that I can run on 32bit Windows and I can see the process in the "discovered/local" part of the tree in Mission Control. I can then connect to the JVM, see the MBeans etc... When I move the cache server to a 64bit Windows Server 2003 box that has the 64bit version of JRockit installed I can nolonger connect Mission Control to it.
I am running a 32 bit version of Mission Control locally on the 64bit machine, is that the issue?
Nothing appears in the "discovered/local" part of the tree but I am able to create a new connection specifiying the JMX host and port. When Mission control attempts to connect I get this error:
Could not open Management Console for localhost:8001.

I downloaded the 64 bit version of Mission Control but after running the install there is no way to start MC and just a readme saying Eclipse RCP is not supported on this environment.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Hello,
I seem to remember an issue cropping up recently with 32-64 compatibility and local connect. As a workaround, try:
1) Start your 64-bit JVM with remote mgmt and autodiscovery enabled (-Xmanagement:ssl=false,authentication=false,port=7091,autodiscovery=true)
2) Use the 32-bit JRMC
This configuration will cause JRMC to communicate over a TCP socket, and the will still be autodiscovered by JRMC but as a "remote" JVM.
Regards,
Henrik

Parental control and Dock settings

Please Help : my son's sessions are under parental control but open to set dock preferences and allowed to use System Preferences as far as settings are opened for them.
But anyway, one has Questions marks in place of applications shortcuts, and the other one loose his shortcuts.
Even if we put back the applications shortcuts they want and are allowed of course, we loose evry things after closing and openning the session. Many other settings are no saved also
Why
Looks like Snow leopard is something that we could call a M... ?????
Thank for help.

It works well if they are allwed to run the application they choose.
In fact, I don't know the origin of this trouble, but I did trash their dock preferences plist file
and I reshape it their after, and it works well now.
I still have one other problem, which looks like the previous but a bit different:
When they add a shortcut on the left part of the finder window, done through finder preferences, like adding the house of their home folder,
it doesn't stay after leaving and re entering the session.
Do you know what could happen ?
Thanks

How to change Mission Control and Notification Center grey background on Mavericks?

Has anyone found a solution that works, to this day?
I've been able to change the login, dashboard and launchpad backgrounds (launchpad I actually only un-blurred with OnyX)...so they now all look like my desktop wallpaper.
But I can't manage to find an actual solution for MC and NC, yet. It would be nice if Notification Center could be even just black or maybe restored to linen, don't know, but not that ugly *** grey!
Does anyone have any new tips?
Or is it true that the MC grey backgroud is done with code, therefore not changeable? Seriously hope not!
Thank you.

Nope.

Everytime i use mission control and use the 3 finger swipe up it appears jagged, and seems to stutter?

the issue has only occured since updating to 10.8.2

i downloaded something called xbench ran that and the problem was solved, infact it cleaned up my entire mac and now runs smoothly

How can I fix Dock/Mission Control/Launchpad? (Glitch)

General Description
Mission Control and Launchpad glitch when invoked (whether by using the mouse or trackpad gesture). They seems to crash or quit, and then relaunch themselves (/itself - all the same app?), I know this because:
they both, as well as Dock, become unresponsive;
the desktop background images disappear temporarily (being replaced by blank light or dark grey);
the Mission Control animation stops/freezes and does not execute properly (the windows stay still);
Dock becomes unresponsive as well as Launchpad.
This happens a lot (every other invokation) and seems to be random; it's annoying and is ruining my workflow, since I am a heavy user of multiple desktops.
Behaviour
I usually have over ten desktops, all with active apps open at one time; when it glitches I can't even open or switch applications, though I can use the ones that are on the current desktop (if was trying to use Mission Control).
There is no correlation with the glitch and the amount of applications open, or how much RAM or CPU is active (still happens with only a few light apps open and a few desktops).
It does not matter whether I am using more than one monitor, the glitch still occurs.
It does not happen due to a particular open application, as I have tested with nothing open at all straight after a restart.
Possible and tested causes
An application might be corrupting the glitchy app(s), since the disk breaks after being repaired in Safe Boot mode. Once the disk has been repaired, the glitch doesn't seem to occur until a few applications have been opened, though I haven't tested this much. (I am suspecting TheBrain, but not sure. Other potential culprits: Chrome, Mail, Firefox, Spotify, Skype, Dictionary, Activity Monitor, Finder).
It isn't the operating system itself because I have reinstalled it from Safe Boot mode, and yet the glitch persists.
The application(s) affected by the glitch may be corrupted, and need reinstalled - that is, if they weren't already by reinstalling the operating system (they are in the '/System/CoreServices' folder).
Not-so-possible:
I doubt it is a virus - it would be a pretty pointless glitch for one to cause.
I have Time Machine running most of the time, but I have no reason to believe that is the cause.
I am using a NEET mini display port to HDMI adapter for my second monitor (no idea how that could be causing the issue).
Help
Any ideas on what I could do to fix this?
And does anyone know how to reinstall Mission Control, Dock and Launchpad (I think they are all part of '/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app')? This might be worth a try.
Specifications (just in case)
2010 Macbook Pro
2.8 GHz Intel i7
8 GB memory
500 GB HD (two thirds full)
Thanks for any help!

One thing I'd like for you to try: Create a new user account. Log into the new account and see if the same problems persist.
Many times such crashes are the result of corrupted preference or cache files. The above will eliminate these in the user account but not at the system level. So, I suggest you use a utility such as Lion Cache Cleaner 6.0.11 or Purity 1.10 to clear out cache files at the system level. I've never used the latter software but I, personally, use the former one on my computers.
