Swiping between spaces buggy?

When using a Java programm or focusing a Java programm swiping with the Magic Mouse between spaces stops working for a few minutes.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I already have that checked.  All settings are correct.  The weird thing is, that with those settings turned on, four finger swiping reacts like 2 finger swiping, except for engaging Mission Control.  So, on a properly working machine, no matter what app is open, four finger swiping left to right will take me between spaces.  BUT, on this machine four finger swiping left to right over a browser will make the browser pages go back and forth.  I have all the settings set exactly like all my other Macs.  It's only this one machine that is using the magic trackpad that is not working correctly.
New batteries are installed, and I have no other issues with the trackpad.  It seems like a software bug.  This MBA does have FileVault turned on.  I'm wondering if that's an issue.

  • Four finger swiping between spaces doesn't work in Mountain Lion

    I have my magic trackpad settings to include 3 finger dragging which means that activating Mission Control, or swiping between full screen apps and spaces requires 4 fingers.  I have a MBP running Mountain Lion and it works fine, but on a MBA connected to a thunderbolt display and using a magic trackpad, it doesn't work.  I can 4 finger swipe for Mission Control, but I cannot swipe between full screen apps and spaces using 4 fingers.  The only way it will work is to disable the 3 finger drag, and set it to use 3 finger swipes for moving between full screen apps and spaces.
    Am I missing something?  I don't think so.

  • Ctrl + numbers switch between spaces doesn't work in lion

    After a fresh install of Lion I'veexperienced strange behavior in mission control. I copied all my apps,documents, settings, etc. from SL to Lion but I noticed something different in Lion. Before I changed spaces by using ctrl+number-keys but for some reasonthis doesn’t work in Lion for me. It does nothing. When I hold down ctrl anduse the arrow-key it scrolls to the next space with a smooth animation. Afterthis and still holding the ctrl-key and pressing a number-key (3 for instance)it does jump to that space with a faster animation. But after releasing thectrl-key and trying it again without any arrow keys involved it doesn’t work atall. Is there anyone hew is experiencing the same problem? Anyone with a possibleexplanation or a way to solve this issue? I’m wondering if this has somethingto do with the clean install because my father did an upgrade from SL to Lionand ctrl+number-keys to switch between spaces works fine for him.
    Thanks in advance,

    Go to the Keyboard preference pane -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control and check to see if you have the ^ + number keys set.

  • Unable to move applications/documents between spaces--why?

    I've noticed this the last couple of times I've used spaces on my _*Macbook Pro:_*
    I'll have 4 spaces, each with a different application or document. When I try and move a document or application to a different space, I simply can't. It's as if the applications are frozen in those spaces.
    In other words, I can't move applications between spaces. They seem frozen in their spaces.
    In both instances, my Macbook Pro is plugged into a Powerpoint projector using the adapter. My Macbook is set to mirror displays so as to project on the screen.
    No problems pre-Snow Leopard
    Any ideas?

    Never mind I just fixed the problem by searching around the community and finding this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4024312
    Anyway it was as simple as holding down the application in the dock and just selecting "Options -> Assign to -> None (rather than All Desktops).

  • Slower switching between Spaces

    It seems Apple made the speed of switching between Spaces (with 4 fingers to the left/right) slower on edges. Now it's "landing" much slower than in Lion. It's rather frustrating.
    I tried to find Terminal hacks to fix this but none of them worked for me.

    Command defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -float 0.1 doesn't work out.

  • Accidentally dragging windows between Spaces

    I am constantly finding myself accidentally dragging app windows between spaces. If you are in space 3 or 4 (or any space on the bottom row) and you are dragging a window to move it around, if you drag it along the top of the screen for too long, spaces thinks that you want to move it to the space above it, and pops you and the window to the new space. Is there a way to disable that option?

    don't know how to disable it altogether but you can increase the delay before it happens. the default delay is 0.75 (seconds).
    To set it to , say, 3 seconds, enter the following in terminal
    defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -float 3
    to get back to the original setting
    use
    defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -float 0.75

  • Swiping between web pages...

    I love swiping between web pages with my magic mouse on my iMac.
    Is there any setting for iPads that will allow me to swipe between web pages?  

    The marked answer to this question is not correct.
    You can move backward in a web page thread by placing your finger at the extreme left edge of the page and swiping to the right. You can move forward (if you have backed up) by placing your finger at the extreme right edge of the page and swiping to the left.

  • Applications move between spaces when connecting/disconnecting second display

    During the day I'm constantly connecting/disconnecting/reconnecting my 2nd display to my Mac. When I do that a lot I see a few things happen:
    - Applications move to different spaces
    - One or two of my spaces dissappear
    Has anyone come across this issue before and is there any solutions or options I can try out.
    Many thanks!

    I just ran a hardware test (on ML you must hold down Option-D so it can access the hardware test bits via the 'net) and the test completed without finding any issues. I wonder if the issue has to do with switching between the integrated and discreet graphics.

  • Unable to move Finder between Spaces in Mission Control

    This problem has been plaguing me for several months now even before I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion. And for some reason I just can't seem to move the Finder (and some other apps) between indvidual spaces in Mission Control. Even worse, when I use my Magic Mouse to swip to another space, the Finder also appears in the other Space as well.
    I tried Repairing Permissions, doing a Safe Boot, Defragmenting (using third party app which did speed up performance but not fix the issue), and restoring from Time Machine backup. Nothing seems to fix it. I'm on a 2009 27 inch iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo. If any of you are experiencing this problem it be great to see if a solution was ever found. My last option would be to completely start from scratch but it be a real hassle for me (with so many third party apps backlogs etc that I'd have to find someway of transferring). Thanks.

  • Moving pages between spaces

    Hi Everyone,
    i am in difficult situation, please provide any input. it would be great help to me.
    I have few pages in each spaces, i was wondering if there is a way i could move these pages between other parent spaces.
    All i know now is : i can export each or all spaces which would give me .ear file and when i look into it, i see pages under .....\oracle\webcenter\page\scopedMD\sd0b3d144_bb8d_401f_8126_2fa630ab0c90\ like page2.jspx, page3.jspx, etc but i don't see content in it.....
    Note: we haven't used any content presenter.
    All pages and spaces are created out of the box by going through Administration in the webcenter.
    jdev version : 11.1.1.6.0
    Thanks

    You can not rearrange pages or move them from one chapter to another. However, you can move (or copy/paste) sections.
    Go to... iBook Menu... Help... iBooks Author Help... Set up your book... Add, reorder, or delete chapters, sections, and pages.
    From the iBook help menu:
    In the Book pane (shown above), do either or both of the following:
    To change the order of chapters: Drag them.
    To change the order of sections: Drag a section to a new location. You can also drag a section from one chapter to another.

  • Cycle between spaces in Mavericks automatically

    Hi,
    I run an app product team and receive lots of data, information, run builds and have various feeds from Twitter and Facebook.
    I am trying to rig up a mac mini with an external display so that I can show all this information on a 5 min loop.  Those items that are web based are straight forward as there is a great plug-in for Chrome called Tab Carousel.  However some of the information I have is in other apps, including Adobe, excel etc.
    The solution I can think of would be to put each data source or app in a different Mavericks space and cycle between them.  Does anyone know of a way/app that can do this?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    It worked for me with SQL*Plus 9.2 on Windows 2000 command
    prompt :-) I am only guessing from your use of "program files" you are using a variant of Windows.
    I can see in Oracle's bug database there have been a lot of
    little quirks with parameter quote handling in various versions
    on various platforms. This appears to be due to differences
    on various operating systems in the way that quotes are
    natively handled.
    Perhaps checking Oracle's bug database might reveal a work
    around. If there is nothing similar logged it would be good
    to log a bug so it can be addressed.

  • Window is caught between spaces

    somehow one of my open windows is caught in between two of my spaces screens.  this has happened once before and there was a quick fix by bringing everything to the front, but I can't remember the keys to press. 

    Click on the desktop so finder is in the menu, Menu item "Window" select Bring All To Front.

  • Help Quickly Please: System Preferences Stuck Between Spaces!

    Please help me people. My system preferences window is stuck between my spaces. I can't chang any setting on my mac now because of this. I'm hoping that I can get help for free from the apple community instead of paying someone who might not be able to fix it! Even when I quit system preferences and restart it still appears there. I even tried restarting my macbook but its still not working!
    Please Help!

    Never saw this before.
    You probably wouldn't have to do an erase and install but rather an Archive and Install. Try booting from your install disk first.
    Insert the installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    If that doesn't help, try deleting this file. com.apple.windowserver.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • FaceTime camera turns off when switching between spaces

    I will have the Facetime app on, have a conversation with a person. I have Mail opened up full screen in another "space." When I switch to that space, the camera turns off. I have to go back to the "space" that FaceTime is in in order to turn the camera back on. Is there a way to keep the camera on all the time when switching between different spaces and the Dashboard?

    Having the same problem - In Snow Leopard, when I was on a FaceTime chat with a friend, I was able to navigate away from the FaceTime and surf, check the calendar and other stuff without pausing my video feed. In LION, for whatever reason, FaceTime pauses itself whenever I navigate away from the app. It's as if the application is FORCING me to stay in the conversation when, sometimes, I use FaceTime for TALKING, not VIDEO CONFERENCING.

  • Is it possible to save files to one desktop so that they remain on that desktop and don't follow to other desktops when swiping between them? I want to save files and keep them on desktop 2 so that I can keep desktop 1 free of files but they follow.

    I want to keep my school files on desktop two so they are all in the same place, and use desktop one as a place to perhaps save photos or other files not school related. When I swipe between desktops, the school files move between the desktops as I swipe but I want to keep them on one desktop all the time.

    No, that can't be done.  All desktops will show what is in the 'Desktop' folder in your home folder.
