New Tab on Mission Control won't change Wallpaper

Hey guys so I seem to be having a weird problem.
I changed the wallpaper on my computer, but everytime I click a new tab it brings up the old wallpaper I had. I even went as far as to delete the old wallpaper, and made sure that the new one I wanted was set.
Restarting the computer didnt do anything...any suggestions? Its not really that big of a deal just REALLY annoying...
thanks!

You could try removing/renaming the .jmc folder in your home directory and retry starting JMC. You'll have to reinstall 3rd-party/experimental plugins but at least you should be able to get back going.
IIRC there is a known bug related to this (fixed in the next release) but I'll check more thoroughly when back at work.
Regards
/Erik

[bug] Can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

I can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

I recently moved my dock to the right so I didn't know the + sign would switch sides. I normally run around that many too depending on how large of a stack whatever I am programming is using.
Anyways, thanks for the help

Hi, The options bar shows sample size 101 by 101 Average. That was my problem. When I was troubleshooting in order to try to explain to you what was happening, I noticed that when I sampled my models teeth, it gave me a color a bit lighter than her lipstick as my foreground color in my tool box. That started me thinking in the correct way. I didn't realize that my sample size had somehow gotten switched from point sample to 101 by 101 average. I appreciate the help. Thank 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.

I can no longer open a new tab by clicking on it or by using file and new tab menu, so what do I change or reset for new tabs to work?

The tabs were working fine, but now tabs will not open when I click on the 'open a new tab + ' button, or if I go to 'file, new tab'. A new tab only opens when I click a link, but I cannot open a tab at will to start a new page. I used your troubleshooting data, but it did not help. I checked tabs settings in Options and all is checked, and I even reinstalled firefox. What do I do to reset or change settings so the tabs will open?

There is a reported incompatibility between the Ask Toolbar and Firefox 3.6.13 that causes new tabs to not open. This problem needs to be fixed by Ask; they need to update their toolbar add-on for Firefox. Until the incompatibility is fixed by Ask, you can disable the Ask Toolbar or un-install it from your system.

Mission Control won't recall Space settings.

Greetings.
I'm having issues with the OS remembering my Mission Control/Space settings.
I have certain apps assigned to specific desktops. For example, I keep Desktop 1 open for Finder windows, Desktop 2 for Adobe applications, and I have Mail assigned to Desktop 3. However, if my MBP lid is closed (i.e. sleep,) the machine is restarted or I unplug my external monitor, the OS doesn't recall which Space I've assigned applications to.
I've started from scratch a few times, removing all Desktops and recreating/re-assigning applications, but that didn't resolve the issue. I've yet to repair permissions, but I suppose that's next.
Thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone had thoughts. Thanks!

No, this is what I did
I removed my preferences folder because of these issues
and I restarted, thinking the system was going to recreate a new preferences folder
and I would have find the problem was there and not for example in other folders in my User library.
When I rebooted , after logging in , the system did not ask for my keychain password
as I was used to since a long time and many systems ago..
I tried to see if I could lock and unlock my screensaver and it worked.
At this point I went back to put a different password in my keychain , as usual
and tried again after that, to lock and unlock the screen and I had the problem back again.
So I changed the password again , using the same I have for my login.
I put back all my old preferences but one( the finder prefs does recreate itself instantaneously) and restarted
Everything worked and I tried Spaces just to see if it had been fixed too and it was.
After that I tried to replicate the problem on a friend's new computer , which is brand new and without anything installed yet. The problems were there too.
No more investigations for me
I hope it will fix your problems too

Mission control won't show windows properly.

Mission control (expose) won't show windows properly. It's really annoying when I'm working and need to see what I've got opened or switch between apps. Sometimes it'll display them correctly, other times it won't. See the 2 screenshots open 3 windows:
1st screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/0U0q1N3J0Z2f
- chrome browser
- finder
- messages
2nd screenshot:http://cl.ly/image/2F0T3o1z0e3Z
only icons of chrome and finder are shown, but no windows. No messages not even the icon.
I'd really love all the help you can provide.

My problem started when the update to 10.7.5 ran. Mission Control in the Dock continued to work as before the update.
In System Settings>Mouse, the side buttons on my Might Mouse had been changed to 'Expose - App Windows.' I had to change the setting back to Mission Control.
Perhaps MtnLion suffered a similar glitch.

Mission Control: How to change the order of the Apps?

OS X Lion
Is it possible, to change the order of the Apps in Mission Control?
When I swipe with my 3 fingers, I first get the Apps, witch I started last.
Any way to change that?
Thanks Mark.

Here is a simple way to use Mission Control just as Spaces:
Let's assume in this example we like to assign iPhoto to Desktop 3 (which in Spaces was called Space 3).
1. Turn off 'Automatically rearange spaces on most recent use
2. Scroll up with 3 fingers simultaneously or launch Mission Control from the Dock. Click on Desktop 3. While you are in Desktop 3 launch iPhoto. Doublecheck with a right click on the iPhoto symbol in the Dock. Choose options. Confirm 'This Desktop'
NOTICE: Apps are automatically assigned to the Desktop / Space where they are launched for the very first time. However you change this by ctrl-click the application's symbol and assign to None than switch to let's stay with Desktop 3 and launch the application from here. From then on it will be assigned to Desktop 3.
NOTICE: Apps in fullscreen mode will temporarily (for the duration they are in fullscreen mode) be assigned to right most Desktops in Mission Control. Once you restore to a window you will find yourself again in its (app's) asigned Desktop.

Safari window opens automatically on every new desktop in Mission Control.

In mission control, when I swipe to a different desktop, Safari follows and automatically opens on that new desktop. How do I stop this? This does not happen if safari is in full window mode. I have reset Safari to no avail, and I have opened Safari with the shift key but neither action gets rid of this problem.

Ah, I figured it out. Right click on Safri icon in tray, choose options and Click "none" instead of "every desktop". That was well hidden!

Mission Control won't a launch (except via Launchpad)

I updated this morning from SL to Mt Lion. I wanted to set up Spaces (similar to what I had in SL) and I found that it's now done via Mission Control. I've tried the various FKey ways (F3, F9) to launch Mission Control directly but the only way I could bring it up was to fire up Launchpad and then click the MC icon there -- or by assigning it to a hot-spot corner.
I've now set up my 8 Spaces so I guess I don't need to open Mission Control much and could probably live with bringing it up via Launchpad or the assigned hot spot. But I'm curious about why it's not being invoked via the FKeys. Any ideas?

Try deleting the com.apple.systempreferences.plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Log out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
If it soved the problem, you will probably have to reset some of your Preferences.

Controls won't change when a tool is selected.

When I select a tool such as brush or eraser the controls at the top of Illustrator do not change tot the tools setting there for I can not adjust the tools settings such as size, softness etc.... How do I fix this?

You may be confusing between Photoshop control bar and Illustrator... you have to double click on brush or eraser to invoke it's controls in Illustrator.

I want to change the new tab page - it currently is a list of recent site - i share the computer and find this annoying. would like all tab pages to be same as start page

i want my new tab pages to look the same as my starter page.

Firefox by default uses a blank page for a new tab. Something you installed has changed that action to what you are complaining about. You need to figure out which add-on made that change and disable that add-on or change the preference in that add-on.
