Mission Control icons are corrupted.

As you can see, icons in Mission Control seem to be corrupted in some way. Also when I adjust the volume, the icon and volume range sometimes appear in pink, or black, rather than white.
In both cases, the volume and mission control, as they're about to disappear, they appear normal. Then disappear.
It's definitely not a showstopper; but I'm curious what's causing it, and how to fix.
Thanks for your help.

After being present ever since I upgraded to Lion, this problem has now disappeared for me too. The only thing I did was to change the screen resolution to 1024x768 (stretched) and then back again to 1280x1024. Following that—and a reboot—the icons are as they should be. Let's hope it's not just a temporary fix.

Launchpad and Mission Control animations are slow

Recently the animations for when opening Launchpad and Mission Control have been slower than usual. All the other animations seem to working fine and it's just those two which are the problem. Now whenever I try to open either one of them it would take ages and theres no point opening it at all. Is there a file that I could edit ot is there a Terminal command to speed it up?

Dock icons are corrupted/deformed or missing.

The icons in my dock are broken, they look like static fuzz or random lines/dots. Sometimes they disappear altogether. They still work if I click on them, and I can see which is which when I move the cursor over the app's "icon".
I searched, but every thread I found had people's problem being solved with either restarting the machine or using "killall Dock" in the terminal. Neither of these actions fixes my problem.
I used Time Machine to go back a week and fixed this before, but it has happened again. I do not want to do a Time Machine restore once a week on this computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ryan

You could try an SMC reset. If the video driver was somehow getting out of whack from a power issue this may help - but it's a longshot.

Messages stuck in background of mission control

When I click the Full Screen button on Messages it becomes the background for Mission Control. If I quit and restart Messages the issue is still there. If I quit all my open applications, and then restart my computer the issue is still there. The background on mission control stays updated; if I get a message it shows there.
Does anyone know what settings I would want to look at in order to make this stop happening. I want to be able to switch to the space for Messages in Mission Control to see my messages but not to see Messages all the time.

Hi,
My Normal Settings are.
Left gives me Dashboard.
Right is normally iTunes in Full Screen Mode.
I run Messages with 8 or 9 individual Buddy Lists open as well as the Chat/Interface Main window.
If I set the main Messages window to Full Screen then it will do so but the Buddy lists remain on the "central" screen (Space?).
The Main window has moved to the right.
If go to look at Messages and then use the Dock > Mission Control icon the Messages app is still on view.
EDIT
Or it was when I tested this first and made me wonder if this was what you meant by "background"
I repeated this to take a snap shot and can only get my Desktop as the Background whilst the Dashboard, Desktop space and Messages spaces show across the top.
During the initial process I did change some things in the Messages > Preferences > Accounts.
I had spotted two were not Logged in and I also changed the Descriptions for them.

Mission control inactive after waking from sleep

Having an intermittant issue where the mission control functions are no longer working after waking from sleep. I can't swipe between desktops, or activate mission control by clicking on the dock icon. The only way to get it back is to use the Activity Monitor to force quick the dock and have it re-launch. Then everything is fine. Doesn't happen all the time on sleep.

Did it happen each time?
As I know, if you press at touch panel while system booting.
It maybe influence touchpanel initial. ->It will cause touchpanel no function when you enter system.

Is Mission Control customizable like Spaces?

Hi,
with Spaces in SL there was this nice feature to have apps opening always in one space which I assigned to them. In Mission Control this seems not to work at all. Every morning I need to arrange the programs again. That is not an imporvement. Is there a way that MC remembers the programs and its assigned screen?
For some reasons the screens in mission control seem to rearrange them selfes as well from time to time. So from the original order 1,2,3,4 they suddenly arrange to 3,1,4,2 or similiar. Does this make sense?
Cheers,
KM

Yes it is customizable, for example go to desktop 1 and open the app you want assigned to desktop 1.
now go to the icon in the dock, press control whilst clicking on the apps icon, a menu should pop up.
Navigate to options and under that you should see 'assign', there should be two choices, assign to all desktops
or assign to this desktop, click assign to this desktop. This will now remember that that app opens in desktop 1.
Do this with other desktops and apps as you like. Go to Mission Control prefs in system preferences and unclick the butto that says arrange desktops according to most recent use, unclicking this keeps the desktops in numerical order. Also in in keyboard shortcuts prefs make sure the mission control shortcuts are ticked with
the appropriate Cmd + number ( Cmd+1 for desktop 1 etc). Not quite as slick as Spaces was but once it is don it is done. A bonus is you can choose different desktop pictures for each desktop.
Hope this helps

CUxAC 8.6 Call Control Icons not displayed

Anyone came across a new install of CUxAC 8.6, were the call control icons are not showing at all. If so, how can you get them to show? The icons im speaking about are the few icons between the F7 and F8 area.

It has been resolved for me. When looking around I noticed that I did not have the option to select toolbars under the view section. So I just did a uninstall/reinstall of the CUxAC software and it came back online properly with the toolbar>Call Control toolbar options available now.
Maybe a bad install or the senstivity of the software, not exactly sure.

Problem in InternalFrame default control icons when minimize, restore

Behaviour of Internal frame control icons are stange and inconsistent.
When I minimized, maximized or restore the icon are changes for minimize, maximize and restore state.
Is it a bug in this class or is there any way to control it.
If not how can I make the internal frame with the default icons control

Try restart your iphone. Try restore again . Good luck , sorry my bad English

Bug(?): Please fix this in Mission Control

I enjoy Mission Control, however I have a request and a question/request.
When I have only two apps open and enter Mission Control, they are right on top of each other. They are both in the center of the Mission Control view and I can hardly see/access the second app. Does anyone else have this issue?
I would like to see Apple reformat Mission Control for two apps so they are side-by-side instead of right on top of/in line with each other in the center of the page.
Second, I thought I had seen or heard that you can pinch to expand multiple windows for one app in Mission Control to see all of them. What is the gesture for that? I have tried the pinch-to-zoom/expand gesture, but that does nothing. What is the gesture for this? If this is not an option, I would like to see it become an option.

Yes, unfortunately the correct answer is not the ideal answer. And the issue is also not fixed in 10.7.2 either.
Anyway I did find a workaround resolution though but never got around to posting it.
In my experience, you dont need to even have a third party app on the system, mission control does not work for two apps as long as they have same height, meaning they can be streatched to same width but if they are similar height it will lead to problems. I always keep all my windows to maximum width/height stretched, so I was having this problem.
Now, the apps I use more often like browser, I have that stretched down to the max, but other apps have varying size of heights depending on how often I use them. This way I am not inconvenienced often and they all work. So my finder ends slightly higher than where my firefox ends, but they are both same width. Mail also ends slightly higher and so on. I hope it helps. If it does please confirm on this thread.
Also, I dont know how to submit this to apple, but if you do know then please do, it may help them fix this.
Regards.

Mission control is a disaster.

A suggestion/request:
I gave "mission control" a good try. I really tried to get used to it, over several months. I'm kicking myself for ever upgrading to Lion -- all because of "mission control". It is a complete disaster.
Apple doesn't like to admit their mistakes, and I have no confidence that they'll ever re-release Spaces and Expose for lion.
We need a developer to write a replacement that reproduces the unctionality of Spaces and Expose as they were in Leopard.
Especially with regard to multiple monitors and windows with dissimlar applciations.
For example, I'm a non-fiction writer, and I frequently have multiple windows open simultaneously - Firefox, Keynote, Scrivener, TextEdit and Finder, for example. When I'm doing research, writing, juggling paragraphs, arranging data, etc. I need all these apps open and with several windows visible at the same time. Full screen mode is useless to me, and I use a three monitor set-up (Mac Pro, triple 30 inch monitors -- My vision is weak, so my fonts are large).
I may have several windows overlapping (a web page about hydroelectric storage, text windows with notes I took at a conference, a spreadsheet, for example) and Expose would show me all these windows so that I can quickly and easily find what I need, and not have to remember which **** application I happened to have that information in.
With Spaces I could move from any of four desktops to another in a single keystroke. I could "zoom out" and then launch Expose, AND then move windows from one desktop to another, and one screen to another, AND do this to as many windows as I needed to befor zooming back in to a specific desktop.
Mission control is a disaster. To move a window from one desktop to another I have to first find that window via multiple keystrokes or swipes, go to that desktop, zoom out, then move that window to another desktop and zoom back in. I have to repeat this process for every window I need to move.
My workflow has been seriously crippled since I upgraded to Lion, and if I hadn't stupidly upgraded most of my applications, I would have already re-installed Snow Leopard. I may do this anyway, if I can figure out how to recover the old versions of my documents and data. Unless someone will save me the trouble by developing a replacement for Spaces and Expose.
How about it. How many of us would pay $20 or more for it. Personally, I'd happily pay $100 for it. Considering how much time it will save me from downgrading to Snow Leopard, $100 is a bargain.

My configuration, workflow, and issues with Mission Control (MC)     are apparently similar to yours.
I encounter the problem of moving windows almost exclusively at     an unavoidable weekly site maintenance shutdown. When I start up     again, Firefox windows previously scattered among desktop/workspaces     are now all in just one. It takes a few minutes to divvy them out      to their previous places, which is a pain.   The mouse-down+spacebar     magnification feature helps -- when I remember to use it. When     there are lots of such windows, I find sorting through them     difficult, especially because I find it difficult to segregate out     those windows that need to stay in the current desktop/workspace.      However: maybe the primary issue is with Firefox, not MacOS. I     need experiment further.
I find using the trackpad to change from one desktop/workspace     to another to be unacceptably inconvenient. Mostly, I depended on a     one-to-one correlation between each desktop/workspace and the     primary application I use, which I assign to that space. (Hang on,     I'll address the problems with this in a moment.)
During my workdays, I hardly ever swipe the trackpad to get into     MC; I switch workspaces by clicking on the primary app in the dock.     (Full disclosure: if you read some of my other posts, you'll     discover that this obscures a more complex reality of some shameless     software hacking I did, but that's a separate discussion.)
OK, now, about the problem of assigning a “flagship” app to     each workspace: Yep, you got it, it's totally wrong in the case of     one app that's required for two or more completely distinct     projects.   In my case, Adobe Dreamweaver is the central app for 3     of my 9 defined desktop/workspaces.   So far I simply haven't found     an alternative to folding these projects into one desktop/workspace,     which seems like going backwards.
Even so, I still feel that MC represents progress, because at     least I can use it to completely separate out the other 6      projects, getting them completely out of my way when I'm not working     on them.
I'm also willing to cut Apple some slack on the MC     implementation after reflecting on how difficult I would find it to     give MC sufficient information to do better, both in terms of      initial configuration and moment-to-moment use. I can think of a     way to modify the Dock options submenu to assign Dreamweaver to two     different desktop/workspaces, with a possibly unacceptable     increase in submenu length. But I can't figure out a satisfyingly     brief way to specify “ I want to work with Dreamweaver in     Workspace 2 --not Workspace 5-- now.”   Nor can I figure     out how to deal with transient situations in which I need to use     Dreamweaver for a few minutes for a totally unanticipated purpose.      I'm certainly not going to want to define a new desktop/workspace.
Likewise, a file (or group of files) that is long-term pertinent     to Workspace 3 now may required for Workspace 7 tomorrow -- for     about one hour only.   How to communicate that?     Or if     --shudder-- a file or group is equally required simultaneously for     both workspaces?
You and I know the context of each app and each file, what     projects we are doing, and how these vary over time.   For the     moment, there just doesn't seem to be any practical way to     communicate all this to a computer within the overall “desktop”     model.
In the meantime... I'm hoping that Apple will open up MC by     making it scriptable.

Why is Mission control showing me icons instead of smaller representations of active apps?

Why is Mission Control looking like this? If I put away Mission Control and reopen it things change a little, the tiny white window in the middle dissapears. I've updated, restarted etc etc.. Any ideas?

I have never seen this before. which MBP are you on???
This could be an issue with a widget in you dashboard or a plugin in safari.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3251015?start=0&tstart=0
this link (the poor chum no one replied to him) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3251015?start=0&tstart=0 would suggest a safari plugin you may have on. turn off all your extensions in safari>preferences>extensions for a second and restart or just close safari and reopen (restart if this doesn't do anything)
here's a wild idea, and not sure if it'll do anything, have you tried to relaunch finder? hold option and then right click the finder icon and hit relaunch.
have you tried reseting safari?
either way send this to apple.
You may have to reinstall lion.

I would try another restore of the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. Maybe something went wrong in the process. Make sure everything works before applying any updates and adding any hardware or software.
Then add things carefully, rebooting Windows and testing the USB and audio at each step.
Please note this.
The only info windows gives me for the sound card is that it from Microsoft... with a driver version of 6.1.7601.17514....which naturally doesn't really help me since I have no idea what card or mobo I have . Is there any way for me to find out what I need other than opening up my laptop?
Every one of them lists my mobo simply as a Toshiba motherboard, with no audio card information. Which I'm assuming that is because it has an internal sound processor. My problem is that none of the properties, or ANYTHING I try, will give me information on what I need to fix this...
All of the latest drivers for your model are easily found here. This one is for the sound.
