Mission control not showing running apps properly

When I use the three finger swipe-up, it usually shows all my running apps as normal, but sometimes they all just appear on top of each other which isn't in any way helpful. Has anybody else experienced this?

Which appear on top of each other? All Applications, or all windows of an Application?
The latter is normal. Two-finger up swipe on an app should expand them a little so that you can see them and pick one.

HT4689 Can we make mission control not stack the windows of the same app?

I often have multiple Word windows open and it's very hard to find the one I need when they are stacked in Mission Control. I like the fact that with a four-finger swipe you can see all the open programs, but it's not quite useful if apps are stacked (so I can't find which is which), and minimized apps apps are not shown.
In comparison, MS Windows makes it easier to locate an open program although less fancy-looking.

Hi keclear,
If you would prefer that Mission Control not stack the open windows for each application, you may want to turn off the "Group windows by application" setting. You may find the following article helpful:

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

TS1702 Updates in App Store is not showing the Apps list

After updating iOS to 6.1 in my iPhone 4s, while tapping 'Updates' in App Store, it is not showing the Apps list, though over the icon it is showing that 11 Apps has got Updates available.

hi
i've had your same proble,
you have to go on settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign out.
after this restart your device:
Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home buttonat the bottom center of the face at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
ok, now go to settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign in again
... for me it worked
bye bye let me know if it works even for you!

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Ios 6.1.2 not showing appstore apps on my iphone 4s

After updating my iphone 4s to ios 6.1.2 my appstore is empty and not showing any apps only tabs at bottom and at the upgrade tab it shows 4 updates but nothing opens plz help

First try, opening the multitasking bar and force quit the App Store.
If the above doesnt resolve, restart the phone.
Failing that, head to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.
If after all of that, you still have any concerns, I would perform a restore through iTunes (making sure you're backed up of course).
Cheers.

HT3353 I cloud does not show Numbers app listed although I Cloud button in Numbers is on. Therefore unable to back up Numbers data

I cloud does not show Numbers app listed although I Cloud button in Numbers is on. Therefore unable to back up Numbers data.

Did you want a answer to this. I have also backed up my iPhone but files are not showing in Numebrs App on iCloud

My icloud does not show any apps on my iPhone, anyone know where they are?

I logged in to icloud to view and clean up my storage and it does not show any apps, any ideas?

What apps were you looking for? The apps you purchased from the App store will not be there, and unless they are iCloud-enabled apps that sync documents and data with iCloud, they don't take any space in your iCloud account.
You may want to read this article, as it explains various options for reducing your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

Mission Control Only Showing App Icons, NOT Windows

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina and am noticing a bug with Mission Control. When I go to Mission Control to see all of the different windows I have open, it's showing just the app icons, NOT the actual app windows. This occurs sporadically; sometimes it works properly, and sometimes it doesn't. I actually realzied the same issue on my MacBook Pro (2009) after upgrading to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, therefore it seems to be an OS issue and not a HW issue.
Here is a screen shot of what I see when Mission Control is not working properly:
Instead of those icons, it should be showing the actually windows within those apps that I have open.
Any ideas?

I have this problem too and would love a solution...when it happens to me it only seems to be on one of my spaces, if I use gestures to get to another space Mission Control" works fine on a different space, but if I go back to the original space it stops working..I have found a fix, which is just move the active window slightly, yep, that actually works, and then Mission Control starts working again...it's weird...would still love to know what causes it, even though the fix is an easy one...
Just on the safari comments above, I have noticed this happens when one of the tab has "reader" activated...turning of 'reader' seems to fix the issue with safari...

OS X (10.8.3) Mission Control not working properly.

On my 13" MacBook Pro running 10.8.3; Mission Contol no longer funcitons properly.
Three finger swipe up: only intermitently shows thumbnails of running applications. Never shows a thumbnail or Safari.
Most of the time, however, I am presented with application icons instead of thumnails. Again, a Safari window thumbnail or icon fails to show up.
Three finger swipe down: functions properly.
Is there a way to reset Mission Control?
Is this an issue others are experiencing?

Thanks for replying so quickly pal, but I actually seemed to have solved my own problem.
For anyone who has been having the same issue that I did, follow these steps:
1) go to your 'contacts' app and remove your email address from your own 'card'
(not sure if this is necessary) 2) remove apple id from user & preference profile
Cheers

Hi jj1026,
Can you check if you have an active connection? What type of connection are using? If you are using cellular data connection, try to use Wi-Fi and check if the app updates will appear on the Store. Also, do you have multiple phones registered under your Microsoft account? The App update push notifications may not be shown if you have multiple phones running with the same account. If this is your case, try to remove a registered device from your Microsoft account, please follow the steps below:
Use a desktop browser, sign in to your Microsoft account by clicking on the link www.windowsphone.com.
Once signed in, and then hover a mouse pointer over your name at the top right corner of the page.
On the drop down menu, you will also see the list of devices that are registered on you Microsoft account.
Select a device that you would like to remove.
Once you have selected the device, move a mouse pointer over your name and then select Account Settings on the drop down menu.
At the top left corner, you will see the name and model of the Windows Phone you would like to remove.
Click on Remove.
Confirm the action by clicking on Remove on the pop-up window.
The back-end change to remove device association takes up to 72 hours to replicate through the systems.
Let us know the outcome.

Turn back the app history within Expose/Mission Control, Turn back the app history within Expose/Mission Control

For some wierd reason & can't remember if I toyed with the settings under System Preferences but it looks like when I swipe with four fingers down within an app for expose I don't get to see all the previously viewed items with the app. Any suggestions?

I agree with everything you said about full screen apps, mission control and launchpad. For apps that made sense to run full screen, they already could under SL. Launchpad is totally unnecessary and Mission Control is a mere shadow of Expose and Spaces.
However, I feel you have not given due credit to Spaces. The point of Spaces is to let one organise logical desktops for different tasks, not just a way to reduce the number of windows on display. For example, I have a Space for software development where I run Xcode and the iPhone simulator, a Firefox window showing perhaps documentation or some other websites pertaining to software development, a Finder window that is opened in the folder with my design docs. I have another Space where I have the remote login sessions, yet another Space with another Firefox window where I do general surfing and emailing. I can switch between these spaces using a keyboard shortcut, which is much quicker than having to lift my hand off the keyboard, move it over to the mouse, move the mouse pointer over the Dock, find the app and click on it, only to find that it has switched to the wrong window of the app.
Without Spaces, organisation of my desktop is disrupted each time I want to switch task, whereas Spaces allows me to drop everything I am doing, go and do something completely different for a while and go back to my exact previous environment. I have a 27" iMac so am not short of screen space but I use Spaces extensively. BTW, switching Spaces using a keyboard shortcut is a lot faster on SL than the equivalent on Lion, thanks to the gratuitous screen animation of the latter.

Mission Control not loading

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't load mission control:
- The fingers up move on the track pad doesn't do anything.
- The hot corners do not work.
- When I select an app in the dock, it doesn't go to the right space anymore.
- I can't add / remove spaces, the icons for it do not appear.
When I try to load mission control nothing happens, it quits instantly: no error, no console output, etc.
I have attached a trace of the app, in case it can help find what is wrong: http://pastebin.com/0FRFf3Q8
I have no idea where to look!

Can anyone run a trace of "Mission Control" for me? I want to see what it does as mine is not working at all.
The steps are as follow:
1) kill mission control so it's not running
sudo killall "Mission Control"
2) open a shell and type:
sudo dtruss -afs -n "Mission Control" > ~/Desktop/trussoutput.txt
3) load mission control
by clicking on the icon..
The output of the shell will go to a file called 'trussoutput.txt' on your desktop; if you could send me that file, or put the contents on pastebin.com, it would help be greatly in trying to figure out what is happening. Mine seems to be stopping abruptly after loading the GSS library...
thanks!

Flash Controls Not Showing On Web Page

Hi-
Been beating my head lately using Flash Pro 8 and DW 8.02.
Here is the latest difficulty:
Created a Flash video file in Premiere Elements 4
Imported the .flv Flash video file into Flash 8 using import
video
Added an external skin to the video
Saved Flash .fla file
Exported movie in .swf format
I can open the .swf file in Flash Player 8 and it works fine.
I can also use the Publish setting in Flash to export the necessary
files as well as the HTML file. When viewed in either Firefox or IE
it plays correctly and the player controls are present. However, if
I create a new page in DW8 and then Insert > Media > Flash,
point it to the .swf file and then view it in Firefox or IE I can
only see the .flv Flash video file and none of the controls/skin
that should be there. I know the controls/skin are actually present
because I can browse directly to the .swf file and it displays
works properly. I can also use the publish settings from Flash to
create the HTML page and it works correctly as well. It is only
when the page is generated by DW8 that I get this problem. I have
looked at the code created by DW8 and cannot find any reference to
the .swf file for the movie controls/skin. Any idea why DW8 would
only be placing the Flash video .flv file on the page and not
writing the code to place the entire Flash movie .swf on the page?
I have tried restarting/rebooting, created a new "clean" test page
with only the Flash movie on it and it is always the same. The
other thing that is weird is I did not select Autoplay or Loop in
the DW8 settings nor in Flash 8, yet when I preview the page
created by DW8 in a browser, piece of the Flash movie I can see
(the Flash video part) autoplays and loops!
Again, any help is appreciated.
-=SB

Update- This is what I have discovered while playing around
with the page and Flash file:
If I create the .swf files for the movie and skin and then
save them to the same directory as the .Flash video file and then
view the .swf file everything works fine.
If I then create a web page using DW8 and insert the Flash
into the page and save the web page to the exact same directory as
all the other files and then view the web page in a browser, it
works fine. However, if I create a new web page in DW8, save it to
any other directory other than the one where the .swf and .flv
files are located and then view the page in a browser only the .flv
Flash video portion of the movie will display in the browser--the
controls are missing. However, if I browse directly to the .swf
file and avoid going through the DW8 generated web page the Flash
movie displays properly with the controls in the correct location.
My question then is why will DW8 not show the Flash movie with
controls if the page is located in higher level directory than the
.swf and .flv files and yet browsing directly to the .swf file with
my browser works just fine? I have checked the path to the .swf
file in the DW8 source code and it is pointing to the correct
directory location. This is so strange--why will it display one way
and not the other? Any ideas?
