Mission control gestures fail/don't work after sleep

Newbie to a 15" Macbook Pro, Lion, with the most recent updates.
I've noticed what I imagine is an operating system error twice now, where after waking the computer from sleep, my Mission Control gestures (I've got 4 finger swiping between desktops, 4 finger up/down for expose or mission control) and the Launchpad/Desktop thumb and 3 finger gestures all simply don't work. All of the same preferences are chosen in System Preferences, but those gestures simply don't work. The trackpad otherwise seems to work with scrolling, 3-finger dragging, tap to click, etc.
The only way I've been able to get the gestures to return is by restarting the computer.
Any ideas on what is going wrong? Is there a command line or other process that would allow me to restart the gestures service without having to completely restart --- that isn't ideal (the ideal is that this wouldn't happen), but a workaround solution is better than nothing?
Thanks

It appears after repairing my permissions with Disk Utlity has fixed this. Open up Disk Utlity (Found under "/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app" - But typing "Disk Utility" in Spot Light should open it).
Select your disk (in my case, Macintosh HD) and click on the button that says "Repair Disk Permissions".
Don't even need to restart!

USB Ports don't work after sleep mode on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

I have been using my laptop for about a month without a problem, but over the last week or two I have had a problem where I lose access to all of my USB ports when resuming from sleep mode. If I go into hybernate or restart the computer, the ports
miraculously return. The techs at the manufacturer can't figure it out and wanted me to do a full system restore, which is a little too drastic a solution! The only real thing I can connect it to, is I had to use Virtual PC (XP) around the time this
started.

Hi Greg,
Microsoft has been fixed this problem, but it is not successful with all PC/Notebook manufacturers. So, the OEM developers itself started giving patch for this issue. I have seen the patch upto Windows Vista version. Lenovo, HP, Dell and other people
are providing this patch. Sony is providing this patch for some selective models. Go to sony support, enter or auto detect your model and check for the update. With Windows 7 SP1 your USB drives should work properly.
Anyway, check the below sony support link to understand how to wake up a USB drive after sleep in Vista, Do the equivalent modification in your Windows 7 PC registry. It will work for you.

Hope this will work for you.

Mission Control won't work after sleeping. Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by track pad or keyboard.

Since updating, Mission Control won't work after sleeping. Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by trackpad or keyboard. I'm sure I use Mission Control more than most, so it's really irritating for me.

No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

Fn+b keys don't work after installing Win7 Ultimate (HP Envy 14 BE) --not able to use the Beats Speakers. Any software updates I need to install?
This question was solved.

Hi Jim,
You're welcome
Is the version of Windows 7 Ultimate you have installed 32bit or 64bit?
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers - do you see an existing entry for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC listed here?
There is an alternative IDT Audio driver you may wish to try on the following link.

Let me know if you get the same error with this version.

Fusion Middleware control and targets don't work

Hello,
I got problems with the Fusion Middleware control and targets that don't work after upgrading from AS 10.1.2.3 to 11g.
I have WLS 11g running. The WL Admin consoles are working (http://<hostname>:7001/console and http://<hostname>:7002/console)
1. Fusion Middleware control on Infra (http://<hostname>:7001/em) does not return anything - just show <loading> on the screen.
2. Fusion Middleware control on Mid Tier (http://<hostname>:7002/em) returns a 404 error and I found a solution on this forum to do the Extend Domain and turn on/configure Enterprise Manage. I tried and got error "INST-07303 - Specified Domain cannot be used for Extend Domain configuration".
3. There sre no Targets in both Infra and Mid Tier targets.xml files after ugrading from AS 10.1.2.3 to 11g. How do I transfer all targets from the old AS 10.1.2.3 Infra and Mid Tier targets.xml to Fusion 11g Infra and Mid Tier targets.xml.
OS is Linux SUSE SLES-10 SP3
Any help?.
Thanks,

Macbook pro 13inch,mid2010 qwertyu keys don't work after upgrade os x Yosemite

macbook pro 13inch,mid2010 qwertyu keys don't work after I upgrade os x 10.10 Yosemite. but it works on keyboard viewer. I'm not sure if it's hardware or software problem, how can I fix it?

Hello there, kipolo.
Great job using the Keyboard viewer to troubleshoot your issue so far. The following Knowledge Base article provides a great checklists of steps to pinpoint the issue a bit further:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond - Apple Support
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane in System Preferences, then click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Buit in ethernet don't work after installing Lion

Built in ethernet don't work after installing OSX 10.7 on my MacBookPro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 15.
Someone else has the same problem?
On my MacPro 2 x 2.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon it's not working good, i have to do a restart to get internet connection.
Is there somebody who has te same problem and has a solution?

Something does look odd to me unless it's a typo in your post.
This look like what I'd expect from the NetGear Router - not form the modem. That is when You browse the router stats (http:/192.168.1.1)
I work with a modem with te folowing preverences:
Wan IP address    87.211.205.210
Lan IP address     192.168.1.1
Primery DNS server       62.58.50.5
Secondary DNS server   62.58.50.6
and a separate router Netgear WGT624v3
This is not exactly what I would expect from System Preferences/Network
the system preferences for the network are
Configure       by DHCP
IP address     192.168.1.15
Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Router           192.168.5.1 <<<<<<<<<<< this should be 192.168.1.1??????
DNS              208.67.222.222
                     208.67.220.220
The Router address in System Preferences/Network should be the same as the LAN IP Address. In this case it's on a different network.
If this is not a type then this is a problem!
Not sure how it got to be that way.
Does it persist when resetting the modemand router?/

What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.

I was having this problem, seem to happen when waking computer, once finally connected network works great.
You need to edit your network preferences to order the network selection list. Goto this support page Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later) and edit your selection list.
I also created a "HOME" location and deleted all networks except wifi. Put MB to sleep woke and safari worked great. Still I re-ordered the networks under Automatic putting wifi at top, sequence is from top down. Don't forget to click Apply. Have fun
