Rollover in Mission Control like in Spaces

Hello,
I used always only crtl + "left arrow" to switch between spaces which is faster than to think in what space I am and in what direction I need to go.
In Spaces there was a rollover so I could go to all my spaces this way. How do I activate the rollover in Mission Control?
Thanks,
Thomas

The rollover is no longer supported in Lion. Once you get to the last Space, or Desktop as it is now known, you have to arrow back in the opposite direction. You cannot just keep using the arrow in the same direction.
One thing that will help with this new restriction is disabling the automatic rearrangement of the spaces. With it on you don't always now what application will be in whatever window. The setting is located in Mission Control.

Is Mission Control the new Spaces?

Just move from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. All is great but many questions. When my cursor wonders off to the side of the monitor the page I am on disappears and I have to click on the side to bring it back. Can I deactivate this? Is there such a thing as spaces where I can control/left arrow to a different screen?
Thank you!

Is there such a thing as spaces where I can control/left arrow to a different screen?
Still works in Mission Control Desktops. Control up arrow is Mission Control and control down arrow is Expose.

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.

"Bind" an application to desktop in Mission Control

I can't figure out how to "bind" an application to a specific desktop in Mission Control, like you could with Spaces. Anyone figure it out? I read that we're able to, I just don't know how. Help, please!

Assigning the desktop only seems to work for me for a particular document or session. Or perhaps some applications are not recognizing the setting properly. For instance, if I assign Pages to "This Desktop" whatever that may be, it only seems to apply to that particular document. If I open a Pages document from within Mail, that document will open in the same space as Mail instead of switching to whatever desktop I had previously assigned.
Similarly, if I set Pages to Full Screen, that applies only to that one document, and future documents won't group into a Pages full-screen Space.
Maybe I just don't understand this fully yet, but I'm a bit disoriented.

Mission Control Background Blur?

After updating to Yosemite, I noticed that when going into mission control the background blurs for all my desktops that i can scroll through. Is there a way to disable the blur effect? I just prefer to see my backgrounds when in mission control like it was in Mountain Lion.

Thats how they designed the look on yosemite. I dont believe there is a way to alter that.
I also kind of liked to see my unaltered background..
But i guess its growing on me - getting used to it... Goes with the translucency theme...
Choice would be nice tho

Mission Control useless when using multiple monitors

Background:
From my iMac I'm watching NetFlix on a 2nd TV/Monitor. The movie is playing.... On my iMac I switch to another space. Bam! The movie window on the other monitor is gone.
Conclusion:
Using Mission Control and changing "spaces" does so on all attached monitors. This is not good.
Need:
There needs to be pref in "monitors" control panel to "exlude monitor from Mission Control" functions.
Frustration:
Grrrrrrrrrrr! No more "Mission Control" as long as I'm using more than one monitor.
What say Ye?

Yes, mission control is a completely abomination on multiple monitors... I use a 4 screen setup, 1 of them is a 140 projector for movies... so i definitely understand what you mean about the movie issue.... MC isvery very limited in what could potential be a step up from Spaces... instead is a step backword...
1. no way to lock monitors (such as you are talking about with watching a movie)
2. no way to move windows from one desktop to another... Spaces was great for organization... MC is a very dumbed down version.
3. Spaces showed all "desktops montitor groups together" where the way MC splits them seems unnatural and odd to me... makes sense on single monitor, but horrible on multi monitors
4. Full screen apps are worthless with multiple monitors... it should give me the option to do full screen app on EACH monitor... this would definitely ogranization.

No, it can't. Send feedback to Apple about this

Is Mission Control customizable like Spaces?

Hi,
with Spaces in SL there was this nice feature to have apps opening always in one space which I assigned to them. In Mission Control this seems not to work at all. Every morning I need to arrange the programs again. That is not an imporvement. Is there a way that MC remembers the programs and its assigned screen?
For some reasons the screens in mission control seem to rearrange them selfes as well from time to time. So from the original order 1,2,3,4 they suddenly arrange to 3,1,4,2 or similiar. Does this make sense?
Cheers,
KM

Yes it is customizable, for example go to desktop 1 and open the app you want assigned to desktop 1.
now go to the icon in the dock, press control whilst clicking on the apps icon, a menu should pop up.
Navigate to options and under that you should see 'assign', there should be two choices, assign to all desktops
or assign to this desktop, click assign to this desktop. This will now remember that that app opens in desktop 1.
Do this with other desktops and apps as you like. Go to Mission Control prefs in system preferences and unclick the butto that says arrange desktops according to most recent use, unclicking this keeps the desktops in numerical order. Also in in keyboard shortcuts prefs make sure the mission control shortcuts are ticked with
the appropriate Cmd + number ( Cmd+1 for desktop 1 etc). Not quite as slick as Spaces was but once it is don it is done. A bonus is you can choose different desktop pictures for each desktop.
Hope this helps

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...

Left over spaces preferences in Mission Control

I had certain programs set up to go to particular spaces before I upgraded to Lion. Now, the programs go to the desktop number that corresponds to the space it used to go to. The functionality of having things assigned isn't needed (or useful either) in the new mission control setup, so I would like to cancel the assignments, but I can't change the preferences any more.
I am sure that there is a terminal command that would fix this, but I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for it; other than here of course.

Right click the programs icon in the dock. Select Options > Assign to: None

Mission Control in Yosemite Creates Tons of Spaces/Desktops

Every now and then, I'll open mission control, and I'll see dozens of spaces/desktops open. I did not open them myself, so Yosemite must be creating them automatically somehow. Here's a screenshot I just took while closing them:
I am hovering over desktop number 25, so there are around 40-50 desktops shown (and I had already deleted many of them before taking this screenshot).
Has anybody run into this before and know how to prevent it? Seems like a bug. Here are some notes:
OS X Yosemite (clean install on a new partition... I sill have Mavericks on an old partition).
Seems to only happen on my main screen (I have a second, external monitor).
Here is some system/display information:

Yeah, it does seem pretty rare. None of my coworkers have mentioned it, and most of them recently upgraded to Yosemite. Though, at least one other person has seen this issue too. Spaces and expose on Yosemite:
Though, there are some differences that could explain why none of my coworkers have seen this before. They are using iMacs (I have a MacBook Pro), they have Thunderbolt displays (I have a retina display), and they all upgraded from Mavericks (I did a clean install).
By the way, the user in the screenshot above mentioned that spaces are created each time they boot up. I'll open Mission Control next time I restart to see if that's when it happens for me (I've been on my computer for a couple hours now and still no extra spaces).
Also, I have VMware installed and use it frequently. It does some funky things with windows/screens and I run it in full screen all the time, so maybe that could be related.

How do I disable Mission Control in favor of old Spaces and Exposé?

Spaces was my favorite feature from previous versions and now they upgraded (killed) it. I loved having a Space for each kind of activity, like browsing or email or system-related tasks, and so on. Now it’s all confusing and I still don’t know how to assign apps to a space. I don’t like either that you have to go over all of them to get to a specific one and there’s no easy way of recalling where -recently unassigned opened- your app was, you have to go thru Mission Control. It’s irritating.
I know you can go directly to a Space by using ^+the number or the space, but I liked way more the grid in which they were set up before.
The window management system OS X is one of the major things I choose this OS over all the other but now it's getting screwed up. It seems like an OS for iOS to Mac OS switchers. Is there some file or setting I have to edit like in Terminal? An app to buy? Anything.
I really appreciate your help.
UPDATE: I just learned how to assign applications to a space, from the application's dock menu, yet the fact that spaces are not fixed and you can easily close them by just clicking the X that on it, keeps me a little too uneasy.

Some people hate it, some like it.

At least now we can have up to 16 spaces.
Work in multiple spaces
When projects pile up and your desktop becomes cluttered, you can use Spaces to organize your windows into groups. For example, create a space for work, another for games, and a third for chatting and checking email messages.
Add one or more spaces
Enter Mission Control using one of these methods:
From a trackpad, swipe up using three or four fingers.
From the keyboard, press the Mission Control key. If your keyboard doesn’t have a Mission Control key, press F9 (Fn-F9 on portable keyboards).
Move the pointer toward the upper-right corner of your screen.
To add a space, click the Add button (+). You can add up to 16 spaces.
To leave Mission Control, swipe again, or press the key you used to enter Mission Control.
HideMove from one space to another
Do any of these:
Swipe left or right with three fingers to scroll through your spaces.
Enter Mission Control, and then click the space you want to use.
Press the Control key and the number key for the space you want. For example, press Control-3 to go to Desktop 3.
Press the Control key and an arrow key to scroll through the spaces.
HideMove a window from one space to another
Do any of these:
Drag the window to the edge of your screen and pause; after a moment, the window is switched to the next space.
Move the pointer over the window, and hold down the mouse button while pressing the Control key and an arrow or number key.
From the space that has the window you want to move, enter Mission Control. Then drag the window itself (not the thumbnail image) up to the space you want to use.
HideDecide which spaces to use with particular applications
If you work in multiple spaces, you can assign applications to particular spaces.
Press and hold an application’s icon in the Dock. You may have to first open the application from Launchpad to see its icon in the Dock.
From the shortcut menu that appears over the icon, choose one of these:
To have the application open only in the current space, choose Options > This Desktop. From now on the application will open in the current space; if you are working in a different space, the application’s space scrolls into view.
To have the application open in every space, choose Options > All Desktops. From now on, when the application is open it will appear in every space.
To have the application open in the whichever space you are currently using, choose Options > None.
In Mission Control preferences, you can specify that when switching to an application, your desktop should scroll to a space with open windows for that application.
Delete a space
Enter Mission Control using one of these methods:
From a trackpad, swipe up using three or four fingers.
From the keyboard, press the Mission Control key. If your keyboard doesn’t have a Mission Control key, press F9 (Fn-F9 on portable keyboards).
Move the pointer over the the space you want to delete. After a moment a delete button (x) appears on the space.
Click the delete button (x) to remove the space. If the space contains windows, the windows are moved to another space.

How do I add spaces in mission control in mountain lion?

I use an external monitor on the right side of my mbp, the external monitor (when in use) is my main screen. I want my (auto retracting) dock on the right side of my right screen (the external one). The top right corner is my hot corner for mission control.
With this setup, when I move my mouse to the right top corner I'll enter mission control, but somehow the "add a new space pop-up button" will not show up. I haven't tried this setup in Lion so I do not know if this is a bug for ML. I really like my dock on the right side of the screen, left is no option and I'm sick of having it at the bottom, but I do want to be able to add spaces, any thoughts how to do this?

multiple ways,
go to mission control and:
hold option, a half of a desktop with a plus will appear, click it.
drag an application's window next to the spaces there are already.
put an app in fullsreen mode.
move mouse over the top left side of the screen, and the desktop with the plus sign will appear to add a new space.

Mission Control new spaces wallpapers

I set up the iPhoto gallery for wallpaper. It changes every half an hour.
What I really like is the new feature - every newly created space in Mission Control comes out with different wallpaper. Useful and great.
And have a tiny bug: in Mission Control pointing to add new space button (Right Top corner) this button always has thumb of first space's wallpaper. Please fix it)

No offence, but just to be sure...
When you click on the '+' button over there on the right-hand side of the MC window, you ARE then clicking in the new thumbnail that shows up, and not just exiting MC back into your current desktop, right?

Using mission control/spaces on extended displays

Is there a way to assign spaces and use mission control on an extended display (i.e. LCD TV) on 10.7.1? I have connected an LCD TV as an external display to my MBP. When switching spaces on my MBP (primary) display, the external monitor transitions as well. I have been unsuccessful utilizing multiple spaces strictly on my external display or having a static dispaly when switching spaces. I would like to be able to switch spaces independently on each display or make a static desktop on my extended display. Thanks

When I'm working with any other apps on my system, I can take advantage of Mission Control, but have forego these advantages when using the Creative Suite. Isn't it really about time that Adobe put some effort into supporting these OS-level features. Whether you favour Mac OS or Windows, you should be able to take advantages of the system you prefer to work on.
Is there any word on whether CS6 will support these features? (I'm not exactly holding my breath).
There is no word on anything about InDesign CS6 yet. (Those who know can't say, and I'm not aware of any substantive leaked information.)
I think that Spaces/Mission Control support is probably predicated on the Carbon to Cocoa conversion. So until InDesign is a Cocoa app, this is unlikely to improve. Personally I manage to avoid using Spaces to any significant degree, so I don't really notice these things. Have you tried Photoshop, which is a Cocoa app? Does it behave better?
I don't know to what extent these issues are specific to the app, or all tied up in libraries that are common to all the Adobe apps.
