Moving apps in mission control over multiple screens

Hey all, is it at all possible to move applications through mission control between screens? In Spaces this was no problem, but with Mission Control they seem to have botched this up.
So, I open mission control, i see MC running on both screens, then I want to grab a window, and move it to a 'space' on my other screen. Pretty straightforward stuff. Not a problem in Spaces. Seemingly impossible in MC.
Am i overlooking something?
regards,
cor

Yes, I completely agree. I can't see how to see minimized programs in MC either and it is extremely annoying.
Another annoyance is programs appear in different places from one use of Mission Control to another a few seconds later.

  • Minimized apps in Mission Control

    I've noticed a difference in Mission Control over Exposé, and I wanted to check it isn't just me.
    In SL, windows from any apps that are minimized to the Dock show up as small thumbs at the bottom of the screen.
    In Lion, this doesn't seem to be happening. In the example below, there is an iCal window minimized on the desktop; you can just see it above the Trash.
    Has anyone else seen this, or is it just another way that MC is different? (The white window visible in the Desktop thumb at the top is Grab's timer screen)

    Yes, I completely agree. I can't see how to see minimized programs in MC either and it is extremely annoying.

  • Dropping files to fullscreen apps through mission control results in app folder opening and in some sort of task switching madness

    In Snow Leopard I got used to attach documents in mails by dragging and dropping files from the desktop to the message window. To do so  I used active corners (spaces, exposé). Now, with Mission Control in Lion I've tried to keep that workflow but this leads me to an awkward problem. To reproduce it in my computer I do the following:
    Pick up a file from the desktop --> drag it to lower right corner (opens mission control) --> drag it to full screen mail space, press space to switch (applications folder opens inside mission control), and a lot of apps too (those the cursor hovered).
    At the same time, mail full screen window opens (as waiting time selected in finder preferences for triggering is short), then Lion turns crazy entering in some sort of spasmodic task switching mode, which lasts after I find some clear space to drag the file back in the desktop.
    Did any other user  experience something similar? Is there something I could do to help to fix the problem?
    Thanks for you answers.
    [Edit: Ok, so I started trying with other apps and it turns that every time I drag and drop any file to a fullscreen app in mission control and use the space key to open it, I get a similar behavior. I did it in Scrivener and it resulted in photoshop and itunes opening,  Scrivener vanished and but left an empty (like dashboard's) desktop.]

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    >>Running bootcamped Win7, yes power consumption is more, a lot more,....indications are no.
    Sorry, can you clarify on this one - do you mean the power consumption is more DURING the use of Windows, or ALL of the time (even when using the Mac as normal with OSX).... also what did you mean by indications?
    >>From the parameters of what you say your use would be, Id recommend the I5 with 8gig of ram. the 12 hour >>batt. life is only rated for the 13" on the I5, ....not the I7.   
    Sounds like my first guess was about right - and good point about the battery life - as that is something that's quite important to me!
    >>The "switch" is extremely easy. Ive seen grandmothers switch to a MAC and have its 'everyday use' >>conquered in under a week. So, you should have no worries, its extremely user friendly, no worries of virus, >>etc.
    Glad to hear I've done more research and already seen a few features I can see myself preferring a lot more to the Windows system!
    >>As a former computer repairman, Ive owned nearly 200 diff. laptops (many were free, or Franken-computers >>built from parts) and I can honestly say the Macbook AIR is the finest piece of beloved hardware Ive ever >>owned by a mile.
    >>Many people incorrectly see the THIN nature of the Air and incorrectly conjecture its "less than" a full laptop, >>but the contrary is the case.
    Nah, I don't associate size with performance - especially these days, everything is getting smaller. My concerns are really just about whether to upgrade for extra performance, and using the OS - once I have those nailed I am pretty cofident the hardware will perform well.
    >>Additionally the AIR is the only Mac that has 802AC wifi, new Haswell cool-running processor, and extremely >>long 12 Hr. batt life on the I5 13" configuration.
    Yeah that battery life is one of the big sellers
    Cheers for the tips,

  • Yahoo Finance app in Mission Control is not downloading/retrieving data.  What do I need to do?  Apple store computers have same app and are working fine.

    The Yahoo Finance app in Mission Control is not retrieving info concerning stocks prices.  It will go to the Yahoo Finance page.  I went to the Apple Store and this app appears to be working just fine on their new computers
    .  What could be the problem?

    MacBook Pro and Mac Pro are not the same machine.   The MacBook Pro is a notebook, and the Mac Pro is a desktop.   Regardless, the question you have pertains more to Quicktime or iMovie, as both those are video importing applications.     Do you wish me to ask a moderator to redirect your question to either forum?
    There are forums for each.
    One application I found is great for importing non-Apple compatible video formats is http://www.etinysoft.com/total-video-converter-hd.html though you may need to get a Flash Card reader that supports your camera's flash card on a Mac to import the video.

  • Assign a Set Order with Mission Control to Full Screen Apps (On Startup)

    Mission Control is great (not as good as Spaces as I enjoyed being able to go down as well as side to side to switch apps).
    For me, I like to have all my apps arranged in a particular order so I can know how far I need to go to get back to whatever app I'm looking for. However, when I start up my computer, Mountain Lion seems to arrange it in its own order, the same everyday but not what I had arranged the previous day.  I arrange it back to the way I like it, and all is good until I restart when Mountain Lion rearranges it back to this other order.
    I turned off the "arrange as I use" feature.
    I know you can assign desktops to apps - but it doesn't seem like full screen apps can be assigned an order.  Is this just something I gotta deal with?  Is there anyway for Mountain Lion to just restart my computer as I had it?  Why does it choose their order over mine?  What's informing the order?

    I have this too and have looked for a fix without any luck. I do have a workaround though.
    On the remote machine open System Preferences > Mission Control
    Select a hot corner from the list to activate mission control.
    When you mouse over that corner on the local machine Mission Control will pop up.
    Also the keyboard shortcuts will enable you to enter Mission Control if they are assigned differently on the two machine. For example I have ^↑ (Control Up Arrow) assigned on the remote machine to enable mission control but I use the mousepad on the local machine.
    I'm still looking for a better solution and will come back if I find one.

  • Multiple Displays, Fullscreen Apps, and Mission Control

    I love Lion, however one thing that has always bothered me was the fact that it doesn't play nicely with multiple displays. Full screen apps do not allow the other display(s) to be available for use with that app is in fullscreen mode. And Mission Control doesnt behave as expected with multiple displays.
    A simple solution would be the following. When you have two displays side by side and you do a three finger swipe to the left, the contents in display 2 would then fill display 1, then the contents in desktop three, would fill display 2. So really, each display would have its own desktop rather than sharing one desktop from the other displays. If the user has different size displays, shrink the window to fit the display. This would also solve the fullscreen issue because the other display has its own desktop. Let me know what you think of this idea and if it can be implemented.
    Honestly, this is getting pretty frustrating, so please Apple, fix this. Thank you.

  • How to maintain order of Full Screen and non Full Screen apps in Mission Control

    Hey guys, so i've gotten used to Full Screen Apps now, but as a power user who was used to Spaces, I like my windows to be in a specific order. 10.7.2 was great in that we can now re-arrange our screens in Mission Control, however, as soon as I do a restart, Lion reverts to having desktops on the left, and full screen apps on the right (i.e., it doesn't keep the order in which I left them before the restart). Now this really bugs me because by using the swipe feature, I want to know EXACTLY what app is to the left or right of me, as opposed to just turning on the "Order screens by most recent use" option, which I find to be too chaotic and unorganized. Has anyone figured out a way to do this? Below of pics of how I would like Mission Control to look like, and how it looks like after a restart.
    How I'd like for Mission Control to look like: (Desktops and Full Screen Apps intermingling)
    How Lion re-arranges Mission Control after a restart: (Full Screen Apps to the right)

    Shift-CMD-F toggles full screen off and on in Fx. Also, if you've put the Full Screen icon in the Firefox Toolbar, bring the mouse cursor up to the top of the screen. This will reveal the toolbar and you can click on the icon to return to normal.
    Get the icon from View>Toolbars>Customize. Drag it into the Toolbar somewhere.

  • Moving Between Apps Using Mission Control

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of way that I can quickly move between apps using the arrow keys and Mission Control?  For example, in Snow Leopard if I use Mission Control (F3) I could easily move between all of my apps and/or multiple instances of an app by using the arrow keys. 
    In Lion if use Mission Control the apps come up but I have to actually click on the one the app that I want to bring up.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I use the three finger swipe:
    The three finger swipe works in Mission Control too. There are lots of ways to accomplish this.
    ⌘ Tab works for all open apps, including those that are "minimized".

  • Stop Mission Control from Switching Screen on App Launch

    I do development on my Mac, and use Mission Control to have a bunch of different spaces. I have it configured to display web browsers all on a specific space (call it my "browser space").
    Part of my work process involves running functional tests via Selenium, which spawns off multiple web browsers as it runs tests. I'd like to be able to do work in other spaces while it's running, but every time a new browser is spawned, I get violently ganked back to my browser space.
    I have tried checking/unchecking the "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" to no avail.
    It's really frustrating. Is there an easy fix to this?

    If you don't have an application bound to a space, then it should launch it in the space you're in.
    If you *do* have an appliation bound to a space, it's going to switch.
    Don't bind many applications to spaces, and you should lessen this frustration.

  • How to see hidden apps in Mission Control

    In Exposé in Snow Leopard at the low part of the screen, I could see all my hidden apps. In Mission Contrtol (Lion) I don't get to see the hidden apps. I've gone through all the system preferences and I did not see anything to be able to active it, I mean, to be able to see my hidden apps when I launch Mission Control.
    Has anyone already solved this issue somehow?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards.

    YES . you get it.
    Not thing to apologize. you don;t do anything wrong. sorry about my word i'm not good in english.
    it call Minimize windows
    by your answer that is ok. The window will go to stay on Dock by click in  >System Preference >Dock > Uncheck Minimize windows into application.
    but someone (me and topick owner Jmayorperes) we check in minimize window to application icon . because i want a static Dock . dont want many icon on Dock when i minimize.
    and old style expose is allow me to see all active window and all minimize windows in same place. by move mouse to hot corner .
    But Lion if you want to see  Minimize window you must >>>  .. hold click to icon and select > show all window .. That's it.   http://postimage.org/image/2wd9ly7no/
    but i think 1-2 second difference not good .
    That why we try to get it back . it just change by apple. maybe it good for people who use touchpad or andything i don't know.
    but for me it difference. and have to change behavior hope it come back in next update
    Thanks you AMMOCAN

  • Can't drag folders or files between apps using mission control

    I've been using Lion without any incident so far, but now that I've downloaded the lastest update (10.7.2) I can't drag a file or folder using mouse click (or my wacom tablet) between apps or folders - gestures simply will not work.
    Once I click on a file, the multi-touchpad stop responding - if this is for real, Mac just lost it's allure... the nimble feature of exposé and/or mission control was this sole ability to navigate through apps and draggin files.
    What's the status, anyone got this issue already?

    I've been encountering the exact same problem! that was my favourite multi-touch gesture of all, which improved the productivity greatly. The only workaround for me is to assign hot-corners to mission control and drag files i want to the corners, but I really hope there's an explanation for this because i would really like that feature to be back

  • App Exposè & Mission Control

    Is there a way to view the minimized windows/apps with App Exposè or Mission Control without being on the same type of window? For example, if I have 2 safari windows opened and one minimized, I am able to see all the windows with the App Exposè gesture, including the minimized one. BUT if I have a different type of window (iTunes) minimized as well, I’m unable to see the iTunes window.

    Not sure if this will help:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57324513-263/preview-window-contents-in-lio ns-mission-control/?tag=txt;title
    It shows some features in Mission Control when it comes to manipulating
    windows that aren't clearly documented if at all.

  • When changing apps to full screen, is there a way to make them appear to the left of pre-existing desktops/apps in mission control?

    I'm not sure when this changed (it was a while ago, possibly with OS X Mountain Lion, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't always this way?) but full-screening apps used to add them to the left of everything else. Now, things are added to the right side of the thumbnail strip, which is extremely inconvenient for me.
    Is there any way to change it back?

    Strange, it's working fine now. Nevermind.

  • 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.
