Mission Control - Suggestion

Hi there,
me and a friend discussed the new Mission Control and its way to organize windows. When one have a lot of windows open Mission Control beautifuly organizes one's windows to preview miniatures, and it's really great. Though, when one have only three windows open, for example, Safari, Mail and Spotify (running all three semi-fullscreen, dragged to maximize), Mission Control stack up these windows on each other. This feels both less beautiful and, more important, less effective.
Am I the only one who would like the kind of miniature previews all the time, not depending how many windows are open?
Tried to post example pictures, but they were to big, I'll post them later when I've scaled them down.
Miniature:
Not miniature:

My friend also told me Mission Control behaves different depending what application one is using. When he runs Skype, Safari and Spotify he gets the miniatures, but when he closes Skype and opens iTunes instad, the stacking mode is on.

Problem to get Mission Control 3.0.1 running with JBoss 4.2.2GA

Hello,
I'm using JRockit R27.04 to run JBoss 4.2.2GA with the following VM parameters:
-Xmanagement:ssl=false,authenticate=false,port=7091,autodiscovery=true -Djavax.management.builder.initial=org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver
It's working fine but when I try to use any feature of Mission Control (console, memleak, JRA, ...) pointing to JBoss, I get a ClassNotFoundException:
Could not open Memory Leak Detector for (1.6) org.jboss.Main (4460).

Can anyone help me?
Thank's,

Java/JEE Architect - Brasil

It was a good attempt, but I'm still getting the same exceptions.
I tried to create a new service file, and it was successful deployed:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
<mbean code="bea.jrockit.management.JRockitConsole" name="bea.jrockit.management:type=JRockitConsole">
</mbean>
</server>
After it I opened JBoss JMX Console and I saw the following mbeans published:
bea.jrockit.management
type=Compilation
type=DiagnosticCommand
type=GarbageCollector
type=JRA
type=JRockitConsole
type=Log
type=MemLeak
type=Memory
type=PerfCounters
type=Profiler
type=Runtime
So, it appears that all jkrockit MBeans are published, but the problem persist.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks,
Anderson Souza

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.

After installing Lion os I cannot see my desktop 1 nor can I see my open windows when I go to finder, I just get the grey/black background that comes with mission control. Any ideas as to how to solve this problem?

The top picture is what my Desktop 1 looks like. And the picture below is what my desktop looks like after clicking mission control. Ive tried changing wallpapers, changing preferences, etc. and I still can't figure out what's wrong. As you can see, on mission control you can't see any of the open windows, or anything that I have placed on my desktop. Any ideas as to how to solve this issue?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

So sick of this - Creative Cloud in OSX Mission Control

I'd like to summarize this problem briefly, and only briefly because I know adobe is already "aware of this issue and working on fixing it" (Adobe 2013) because of tons of other posts about this. You see, I am, like many other poor, tortured human beings, subscribed to the Creative Cloud service. One of the many problems with that is, when I switch desktops on my mac, the creative cloud window pops up. In addition, it shows up in my Mission Control even though its not even open or a traditional application in the first place. This wouldn't be a huge problem if not for 2 reasons.
A. This is a small issue that is EASILY fixable for Adobe that affects me constantly
B. I pay $50 a month for this.
Also, I know about the tweak where you switch it to windowed mode, which is just as bad because it shows up in my dock for some reason and even forgets that I've switched to windowed mode. I'd like to mention also that this is not strictly speaking, an error. This happens on EVERY Mac that has Creative Cloud installed as far as I can tell. It has happened since I first downloaded the software OVER A YEAR AGO. I mean there are posts dating back to 2013 by Adobe employees saying they're going to fix this.
I just think it's weird how I bought an app for a dollar the other day that gives me system stats from the menu bar, and it has exactly none of these problems, yet I give you people $50 a month and I can't expect a fraction of the quality.
TLDR: I'm considering admitting myself because I've been having thoughts of switching to Inkscape.

I may have not read your post correctly. In the pinned mode, the CC Desktop window does not show up when I switch workspaces, and it does not show up in Mission Control, at least not on my Macbook (10.9.5) Might act differently in your setup.
I would suggest quitting the CC app until you need it, but you might be using your Typekit, Portfolio and Storage and can't simply exit.
However clicking on the CC Cloud Storage icon in your Finder will bring it back up instantly.
Sorry. For a second, I thought I had a workaround.

Issue with Java Mission Control 5.3

I see the following issue when using Java Mission Control 5.3 - the text area that appears in the Method Profiler section of the Code => Call Tree tab accepts text for filtering purposes. However, the filtering is seen to be applicable only to the top level nodes. For e.g., I am unable to search for a certain Java package name (or its part) that I know exists deep down in the stack trace. Is there a way to search for text that appears in lower level nodes? I find that the search does not work even if I expand the tree using the Expand Subtree option. Thanks for any insight.

I also have this issue on 5.3. It is very difficult to do even a basic level of profiler analysis. The tool is ok at finding big watermelons (CPU cost or memory allocations), but when you want to drill in and see any more detail, it becomes quite painful. Best case is that I would be able to "swim" through the profile data, moving easily from method-to-method, and see the recorded sample counts in a base (samples in this method itself) and cumulative (samples in this method and all called methods) fashion. The indentation in the tree view can be painful. I would suggest a more simplified view as an option,
PARENT (callers) methods, full names and cumulative sample counts (percentages would be nice as well)
SELF (called) method, full name and cumulative sample counts (percentages would be nice as well)
CHILD (calles) methods, full names and cumulative sample counts (percentages would be nice as well)
Clicking on any row in the above immediately makes that method become the SELF in the view.
Also, I should be able to enter the class/method name into some text box above this view and easily get into the data for the method. With the current tool, there is no way to quickly go to the data for a specific known method.

Apps not showing up in Mission Control

that is, when I launch such apps as ones of iWork and iLife suites simultaneously. Some of them are launching very sluggishly (as I posted this in other thread, though related to a different issue), with considerable delay or quitting, I noticed that though an active app indicator shows up, I don't see its main window etc. More recently I noticed that when iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band are launched simultaneously (with iWork apps), then Mission control displays just iPhoto and iMovie.
I repaired all possible permissions, corrected bad font, reset SMS and PRAM. True, I have 45 GB of free disk space, 4GB of RAM. Maybe it's not enough of memory? But Activity Monitor never showed lack of it. What would you suggest?

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Office apps don't like mission control

When Spaces first came out in OS X Leopard, I liked it a ton... It allowed me to organize work and have certain apps launch in certain spaces... Except there was one big problem... When you would first open Excel, Word or any Office app, it would open in the Space you had reserved for it (so far, so good) but with that app now open (say, for example, Excel), if you would be in some other space and open yet a second Excel document, that second doc would now open in whatever space you happen to be in at the moment... That was a flaw... I was never sure whether it was an Apple bug or one tied to Microsoft/Office... But eventually it got fixed... In some later version of Leopard or maybe when we got to Snow Leopard (I just don't recall), it got fixed by someone and I was happy...
Now, it's back... Bummer... Let's say you reserve Desktop 4 for Excel (that's what I do)... Say you're in Desktop 1 when you first launch Excel... The system switches to Desktop 4 as it should... Now, say you're back in Desktop 1 and you now launch a second Excel document... Unlike the flaw there used to be in Leopard (where it just stayed in whatever Space it was at the moment), if you watch you will now see the window quickly swing to Desktop 4 (where it should now stop) but then immediately it swings back to Desktop 1 and the document errantly opens there...
It's like we just took one step backward... I do a lot of work where I open lots of Excel documents from different Spaces (or now Desktops) and I like them all to end up in one place... The old problem existed so long that I had even gotten used to manually switching to the Space I wanted for Excel before opening subsequent documents. This way I could force all my Excel docs to open in one place... I was so happy when it got fixed but unfortunately now it's broken again... I will tell Apple... I will tell Microsoft... Then I will wait a year and hope... Just a heads up to any who care about how the new Mission Control works...

No, I just tried precisely what you suggested... I have Excel open already and a document sitting in Desktop 4. I held down the Excel icon in the dock while sitting in Desktop 4, clicked on Options and chose (it was already checked by the way), "Assign to this desktop"... I then moved over to Desktop 1 and from there I requested some second Excel document to open... As it opened the desktop switches to Desktop 4 quickly (good so far) but then within a fraction of a second it switches back to Desktop 1 and the document opens in Desktop 1... That's wrong... I want ALL Excel documents to open in Desktop 4... Not just the first one... When this was broken back in OS X Leopard, I got used to first switching to Space 4 and then opening subsequent Excel documents... That would force the documents to open in the Space I want. Now, I will have to start doing that again... bummer...

Magic Mouse triggering Mission Control on remote machine, how do I stop it?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but here's the deal: sometimes, when I single finger scroll with my Magic Mouse, it will trigger Mission Control on the remote mac. Probably happens about 50% of the time. The other 50% it correctly scrolls the document/window/etc that I am trying to scroll.
I've attemped to disable any possible gesture and such that may be triggering it, but no luck. Any suggestions? What am I missing?
Thanks.

Mouse settings can be locked in : Menu bar, Apple Menu, System Preferences, Mouse, "Click & Tap" tab
There will be a secion labeled "Clicks." Typicaly "One Finger Middle axis Click" will be checked, and set to "Middle Click." That means it you tap the mouse, down the vertical center of the magic mouse, it will trigure middle click instead of left click.
Try unchecking "One Finder Middle Axis click," and then see if you still have the issue.

"Show All Windows" in Mission Control

Hey everyone!
In Snow Leopard you had this amazing feature that when you push and hold the mouse button on an active application in the dock, all the windows of that application would pop up beside each other.
Doing so in Lion just generates a sub-menu, where you have to click the "Show All Windows" yourself.
Is it possible to get the Snow Leopard function in Lion?
Thanks!

I dont use the Trackpad, just a mouse. Moments after I typed it, the answer was suggested already:
CTRL+Mission Control button does exactly what I want.
Is it possible to reconfigure this shortcut to the Snow Leopard way? (Pushing and holding the mouse button on an app in the dock for the same results)
Thanks,

Mission Control + Finder laggy since update

Hello,
i bought a new Macbook Air 2014 i5 with 8GB Ram in May with Mavericks pre-installed. It was fast, snappy and responsive until i updated to Yosemite.
The first thing i noticed was that Mission Control was and still is not as smooth as before while many windows/apps are open. Especially soundcloud.com running in the background slowed it down.
Since yesterday Finder is not as fast as it used to be. Switching between folders takes longer than usual and the CPU Usage goes up a lot.
It's not unusable in any way, but compared to the superfast performance i'm used to it's very slow.
Fixes i already tried with no success:
- SMC Reset
- Deleting the com.apple.finder.plist
- Repair Disc Tool
- a lot of restarts
If i can't fix this problem the next thing i will do is a clean re-install of Yosemite, but i hope won't have to do that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Phil

I'm seeing the same thing with the same machine.

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.

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.

AD4J vs. Mission Control

Can anybody tell me what I can see more with AD4J than Mission Control. We use Mission Control to monitor our production environment, we do this already more than a year and it was already helpful a lot for us.
In the beginning our WebLogic (or better VM) crashed a lot because of bad memory tuning. After tuning the VM (with help of Oracle consultants) and the code the crashing has disappeared. Then we still had major garbage collects that took more than 40 seconds (stop the world GCs) about 1 every hour. After tuning again, we now have major GCs of maximum 10s (5 a day), 7s (a few every hour), and lots of less than 2 seconds.
Now our question is there a way to see what is happening (at code level) near those 10s GCs because we see these GCs happen near heavy CPU usage of the VM (so we think heavy business logic). Because our application has 20 EJB modules, 400 entity beans and at peak periods near 1000 concurrent users using a Swing client connected to this single WebLogic instance it is complicated to find out what is happening.
The find a solution the local Oracle people suggested we have to use AD4J to find out what is happening. But before we starts evaluating this tool I want to know whether anybody has any experience using and Mission Control and AD4J and how they relate to each other.
Tnx
Bjorn

That is true, we did already some recordings this helped the Oracle consultants in the first tunings, but what "triggered" the GCs is not what is causing the heavy CPU activity. Something needs a bit more heap and the GC is started but this is not what the garbage generated.
What I really want to know is there an easy way to follow business logic activity, and so find out hot methods.
Regards,
Bjorn

Exposing MBeans to JRocket mission control(Remotely connected)

HI,
We could see the MBeans of following types in JRockit Mission Control which is connected to external wls.
JMImplementation
bea.jrockit.management
com.sun.management
java.lang
java.util.logging
oracle.javatools.cache
jrockit.synthetic.
But we would like to get the alert when the wls server Health status is in Warning status.
This information is available in com.bea.* MBeans which we could not see in remotely connected JRockit Mission Control.
HOw can we expose com.bea.* MBeans to the externally connected JRockit Mission Control?
Thanks,
Surender.

You need to connect to the relevant WLS MBeanServer tree -- not just the platform JDK MBeanServer as you are doing.
I'd suggest a quick scan through this to get a picture of how JMX is exposed with WLS:

Mission Control Failure again!!again!! again!!

Once again Mission Control fails. Everyday i have to restaert my computer to be able to use mission contrl. VERY ANOYING!!! I have deleted my "dock preferences 6 times" as a fix that was suggested earlier. What next, TOO bad Apple doesn't support their products?
Help again!

Hi Alan,
I have the exact same problem.
I haven't found a soulution yet, although rebooting sometimes fixes it until I reboot the next time, then it seems to be a matter of luck whether or not the problem re-occurs.
I recently installed a SSD and used CCC to copy my data across and wondered if this could be the cause, although things seemed to be fine after this, the whole thing went very smoothly.
The problem actually started for me a few days later when I downloaded an update to Adobe Reader to version 10.1.3. Does anyone know if I can undo this
I was going to try a clean install of Lion, but having read that you tried this and it didn't solve the problem anm beggining to wonder what to do?
If anyone can shed any light on this would be grateful.
Nick.
MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.3
