Problem in mission control : placement of the desktops isn't memorized

Hi everyone!
It's my first topic here, so please, be kind if I'm not respecting the rules...
Here is my problem :
Today, I'm doing some HTML coding in textwrangler, and testing the pages with safari on a second desktop. I'm opening the pages in safari with a finder window opened in a third desktop. I'm on my macbook pro and i'm switching desktops with the 4 fingers technique. I have placed the desktops in that order :
1) Textwrangler
2) Safari
3) Finder
When i'm using the 4 fingers and go into the finder to look after a page, trying it into safari, the order is changed :
1)Textwrangler
2) Finder
3) Safari
Is anyone encountering something like that with mission control? Do you know how to fix it? I hope you'll be interested in my problem.
Thank you!
Nelson

Thanks a lot, I hadn't seen the options in preferencies... Let me go buying glasses!

  • Why does Mission Control switch to the Desktop 1 without me issuing a command?

    This happens to me constantly. I'll be working and not even touching the keyboard and Mission Control, without me doing ANYTHING switches me to Desktop 1. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    I'm having the same issue.  The only thing I can think is that there is something stealing focus back to the main screen.  This didn't happen for me prior to upgrading to Mavericks.

  • Has anyone experienced a problem where Mission control randomly changes the window?

    Focus will be shifted from randomly between windows and desktops or windows will be resized

    Hey first, carefully re type ur password, secondly reboot once more.

  • How do I lock a folder in place on the desktop

    On my desktop I have 1 folder that contain completed projects as well as multiple folders to manage current projects I'm working on. Occassionally I also have files on the desktop that I am working on for the day. Whenever I arrange by name (or any other criteria) the files and folders on my desktop move all around. My completed folder is now mixed in with files I'm working on and my current projects folders are all over the placed depending on what I named them.
    I would like a way to pin certain folders to their place on the desktop (similar to how the hard drive icon is pinned), so when I arrange the desktop files by a certain criteria these "pinned" folders would not move.

    Take a look at Desktop Icon Manager (DIM).  There has been problems of one form or another with the desktop since the days of OS9.  DIM, also in one form or another, has been around since then to try to address these problems.

  • Mission control animates in the wrong direction when you start in full screen mode

    When I am in fullscreen mode, open mission control, and swipe left to right the animation moves in the wrong direction. The correct space appears, but it animates as if I swiped right to left. All subsequent swipes work correctly until I close mission control and follow the same steps again.
    Whats going on?

    Go into system prefs trackpad then uncheck scroll direction.

  • 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:

  • Problem with Mission Control

    I've just installed the Safari 6.1.1 and iTunes 11.1 updates. For some reason this seems to have affected Mission control on my computer (late 2011 Macbook pro running Mountain Lion).
    I can now no longer highlight and select the large desktop window in Mission Control (the one that open apps appear above). This is really annoying as it makes navigating around much more of a hassle now.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried repairing Disk permissions already. Thanks.

    I'm surprised that given the usual hysteria over anything new that Apple brings out Apple didn't realise that providing this upgrade solely via a downloading method may cause a few problems upon its release!!

  • Problem with mission control after 10.7.2 update

    After I updated to 10.7.2, when I swipe into mission control then select a different app with the spacebar then swipe back out of mission control, the menu bar on the top does not switch to the new app, it stays as the previous open app. But, if I click on the new app instead of using the spacebar then the menu bar switches correctly. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I have had the same issue since initial 10.7.0 install.  Doesn't seem to affect function at all.. but disconcerting nonetheless.  I have yet to find anything acknowleding the problem or how to fix it. 

  • Maverick causing problems with mission control

    hi,
    I have a early 2013 Mac book pro. I just upgraded to Maverick and I have been facing issues with mission control. When I swipe fingers up on touchpad to open Mission control, occasionally it lags. Basically the lagging is prevelant with swipe and pinch gestures on touchpad, the transitions are not smooth. Please help me fix it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kritarth

    I'm not sure that what I'm seeing is this same problem, but it's similar. And worse.
    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch,Early 2013), and several times since I installed Mavericks both Mission Control and 4-finger swiping have stopped working completely. A restart always fixes them. They both fail at the same time--either both work completely, or both don't work at all.
    I'm guessing there's a lurking Mavericks bug, somewhere.

  • 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.

  • Still Mavericks causes problems freezing Mission Control

    Hello,
    As the suggestions I've received in this discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23642587#23642587
    Try removing Soundflower since it has not been updated in a very long time. Follow these instructions from its developer's website:
    http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/
    There is a short video explaining how to uninstall it. If uninstalling it does not help, and you really need it, you can always reinstall it again from the developer's website.
    If that does not help please start a new Discussion because there will be other things to check.)
    , I've already unistalled SoundFlowers and, as I espected, doesn't make any difference: Launch Pad is still freezing when I change pages.
    I report here the new discussion.
    Let's see if John Galt can help me again!
    Cheers,
    Enrico

    I had no such problem, but as I said, graphic acceleration seems to be deactivated; I haven't noticed any CPU hog, so I suspect it's a juvenile bug. Strange is the fact that no-one seems to experience my issues, even also the one with the trackpad. I think I'm going to wait 10.9.1 at least, and test it on an external drive (to preserve my ML installation).

  • Problem is mission control

    If I have two or more applications open then one of the applications will cover up 2 or more spaces and I can't select them. I'm on OS X Lion 10.7.1
    Is this a problem with anyone else?

    You do realise that your "solution" does not fix the problem. It simply lets me see the spaces but when I go to click on one of them the windows I parted just come back and I do not go to the desired space.
    Also note that just because 7.1 hasn't been "released" doesn't mean that some of us aren't on it.
