Using command tab for application switcher no long cycles through all apps

Using command tab for application switcher use to work as it always has before Lion, and did in Lion for a few days. Now it stops at the last app. It always use to keep cycling through through all the apps. I figure I did something, but cannot figure out what. I have tried old tricks like force quitting dock using Activity Monitor, but that didnt work. Tried restarting, repairing permissions, and a new user account. I will great appreciate anyones help with this.
Thanks,
Mark C.

I was going to post my experience about application switcher as well, but i have the opposite problem: in SL it never worked, but now in Lion it does. Since I upgraded by installing over Lion, I'm assuming there must be a setting somewhere for this behavior. There is a place for setting keyboard keystrokes, looking there may help.

    how do I switch between windows in the same programme?  I know that I can use Command tab, however this takes you through all of the programmes that I'm using. What I need to do is have a shortcut to switch between windows in the same programme.  For example if I'm in Excel and have 5 windows open I want to be able to scroll between each window of Excel only with a shortcut.
    Please help!

    Command and ~ keys to tab between open windows.
    Technically it is the Grave Accent ` (aka reverse quote) under the tilda ~ key.  Tilda ~ is shifted, and Grave Accent ` is not.

  • I cannot use multiple tabs for Hotties For Sale. I was able to do this until yesterday but now the same tab is duplicated each time. How can I fix this?

    I play an app called Hotties for Sale. Until yesterday I was able to operate several accounts on the game simultaneously by using separate tabs for each account. Now I can only open one account at a time with a single tab. When I open a second tab I just get a duplicate of the previous one. How can I fix this please?

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

    I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
    Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
    and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector.  It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

  • IMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store

    iMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store. I can't pay for it so I would really appreciate the help.

    Look in your applications folder for the installer - Install OS X Yosemite. Delete it. Then go back to the App Store purchases tab and see if you can download it. You might have to re-index Spotlight.

    Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?

    in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

    I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

  • Why can't I use command+alt+arrows to switch between tabs correctly anymore?

    I used to be able to use the method of command+alt+left or right arrows to switch between tabs. For example: I could be playing an online game, and be clicking things inside of the box on the screen that the game was on, use the method, and easily switch to another tab. Now, however, it doesn't let me switch between tabs unless i click outside of the game area.

    Don't forget that there are many "pieces" to internet access that must all be set to make manual IP selection work, namely:
    1) Your IP address
    2) The addresses of your DNS servers
    3) The default route via which packets leave your network ("router" in Network->TCP/IP)
    4) Your subnet mask
    As mentioned above you also need to assign an address from outside the DHCP pool that is on the same subnet, as at least some routers will refuse to route traffic that seems to originate from IP addresses that fall within the DHCP pool over which it has control if it did not yet assign that IP address to a client.

  • Can't use command   tab

    I recently did an update to snow leopard and have "lost" all sorts of standard features I used to rely on. Now running 10.6.8
    I can no longer command+tab through apps I have open.
    All system key commands like close window [command+W] no longer work.
    Not sure what else I've lost but any idea how to get these back?
    Thanks

    I found an archived article for a slightly older version of SL where it mentioned the problem had to do with the screen saver. The solution was to quit or force quit the ScreenSaver function in the activity monitor. I looked for this and don't have anything that says screen saver or something similar. Any thoughts? This is really annoying!
    None of the standard key functions work anymore such as:
    Command + W
    Command + Q
    Command + C
    Command + V
    Command + Q

  • Can't use command+tab, exposé, dashboard. Can't turn off!

    Hi,
    after imported a PowerPoint file from a memory stick formatted on Windows System, the machine wouldn't respond. Once I tried to restart the machine, the iMac freezed on the desktop picture. I mean, it correctly closed all the applications but the machine would not turn off. So I used the power buttom and turned off.
    Once restarted and after a few hours of use, i discovered that was impossible to switch to another application from the application i was using, unless pointing over with mouse arrow. All the other commands (command+tab, exposé, dashboard) wouldn't respond either. Then again the Mac wouldn't turn off.
    I reboot the machine, did the Verify Disk from the Disk Utility (but not the Verify Disk Permissions, as it never worked?...), but nothing again and after a while I'm getting to the same kind of problem.
    I did imported files from every type of systems or machines (hard drives, web, linux, windows systems) and never had a problem like this before.
    At this point, I don't really know what to do? Is a problem related to the last version of OS (I have the 10.4.10), to my iMac (PowerPC) or what else?
    Thanks

    You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

  • My iPhoto tab for Shutterfly is no longer available

    After my upgrade to Mavericks, the tab for Shutterfly in iPhoto/Export is no longer available.

    Shutterfy needs to update their plug-in for Mavericks/iPhoto 9.5
    See: http://forums.shutterfly.com/posts/3e1df1e438?commentId=21150#21150
    Hey All,
    I am so sorry you guys!
    We ended up receiving more contact Friday about this, and it is now become a known bug. At the time I inquired about it, we had not heard of the issue yet.
    Apple recently updated their iPhoto program to iPhoto 11 version 9.5.  This version is optimized for Mavericks, the new Mac OS.  The 9.5 update will effectively remove the Shutterfly upload tab from the export preview window. (as you already know)
    Our engineers are aware of the bug and are working on a patch for it, and in the meantime, consider trying to upload your images using one of the other upload methods available through the web site. This would mean uploading without iPhoto, and placing your images in a folder on your desktop, then using our Express Uploader to upload.
    Thanks for all of your patience.

  • Adding key figures using commands in Web Application Designer?

    Hello, all.
    I have a query the contains several key figures.  From that query, I created a query view in which only one of the key figures is displayed.  I'm using this query view for one of the data providers in a web template.  In Web Applicaiton Designer, I would like to be able to hide the key figure from the data provider and show a different one.  How can I accomplish this using the built-in commands?
    I know I can hide all key figures using the CLEAR_SELECTION_STATE command, but I can't figure out how to use a command such as SET_SELECTION_STATE_SIMPLE to show a different key figure.  Any help would be great!  Thanks.

    I've tried that using the GUI to configure the command, but WAD crashes when I try to open the window where I choose the member name.  The error says:
    "4A6DM1A4LTXPJKA1BA3LD9TTD is not a valid characteristic for InfoProvider MQM_M01."
    I also tried entering the commands as you suggested in the XHTML editor, but that resulted in an error when I tried to execute the command.
    Maybe I can do what I'm trying to do using some method other than changing key figures.  Basically all I want do is change the date range of the data shown using offsets.
    The key figures that I'm trying to add and remove are restricted in Query Designer to different date ranges.  These date ranges use offsets to set the restriction.  For example, one key figure is restricted to display values for only the last 7 days and I'm trying to replace it with a key figure that's restricted to the last 14 days.
    If I knew how to set a filter with offsets using commands in WAD, then I'd use that method, instead.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Tabs for new windows no longer accumulate; only current tab shows. How do I get new sites on tabs?

    Previously, tabs for new links showed at top of address bar and accumulated as I surfed. Now, only current site/window shows an accompanying tab. What happened to the tabbing process? Can't find an answer in Firefox Help. I have Windows 7. Thanks. Kusgol

    I use that add-on. Works great.
