What can you do when you get a little tired of exposé...?

Exposé is a fine way to switch between applications, but I have grown a little tired of it - sometimes at least. If I'm running a lot of apps it tends to work slowly and with a lot of apps open it's hard to tell the difference between them.
So I was thinking: When you ctrl click on an app icon in the dock you can see what windows you have open in that app. But it's a bit clumsy system. Is there an easier and faster way to see these windows? Some kind of addon to the dock maybe?
Thanks

"Expose can show All Windows, which you've been using apparently, but it can also show only Application Windows"
I've been using that to, but thanks for the suggestion anyway! I actually don't know why I don't wanna use exposé cause I thought it was brilliant at first. And I still think it's okay, but sometimes I get tired of all the corners I accidently touch and suddenly my windows fly around the screen Also I sometimes feel that exposé requires a lot of moving around the mouse because it's hard to know where the various windows are gonna show up.
I just realized that there's a "Window menu" in every app. I forgot about that. So it is possible to navigate a Mac without exposé. I was just looking for something ... I don't know, maybe more Mac like, you know? Intuitive and efficient (which many will probably say that exposé is, but I've been through that). Sorry to be so demanding
More suggestions are most welcome and thanks all for your replies!

  • What can i do when i get a get a file with question mark on it during start up?

    i was working on my computer when i froze up i had the spinning wheel would not do anything so i turned it off and back on. when it cam back on it was just a grey screen with a flashing file with a question mark on it. What does this mean? is my computer done?

    The advice Carolyn points out is sound, and hopefully it will work, but Apple needs to add some caveats to some of their "pointers" to resolving problems. If the system was working, you shut it off, then turned it on some time later and the problems emerged, the odds of it being a PRAM problem are good. For it to crash on you outright implies either an indexing problem or a problem with the hard drive or cables. In step 11, Apple should have added the phrase to zero the drive with Disk Utility prior to re-installing the operating system in the event a bad sector has developed on the drive because that would re-map the bad sectors to good, spare sectors. If it's yet another SATA cable problem, all bets are off. You'll continue to get what appears to be file corruption and problems, and it won't be consistent. If the problem is due to an actual surface failure on the drive then even though it might be fixable, you might want to consider replacing the drive.
    The only product on the market that can test for bad cables and bad sectors is Scannerz, and you might not even be able to use that if you can't even boot your system. When they added Phoenix to the Scannerz package I originally thought it was just to make TechTool Pro look bad, but now it makes perfect sense - you could boot off of a so called Phoenix volume and test the system and boot it independently of the internal hard drive and the internal cables, allowing you to isolate the problem.
    I would follow the advice in Carolyn's linked article up to step 11. If you get to that point, prior to re-installing the OS, use the Security Options settings in Disk Utility and zero the drive to correct (re-map) bad sectors. With luck this will be a relatively simple fix. With bad luck it will be the cable, which will cause problems down the line that will get worse and worse.

  • What can I do when I get this message?

    I can no longer import pictures in any of my Aperture libraries even though I have deleted a lot of raw and jpeg files.  I get this message, "Insufficient Disk Space - There is not enough free space on your Aperture library volume to import the selected items.  It is estimated that you need 328MB of additional free space." What can I do?

    Jenny,
      How should I be deleting the pictures?
    if your Library is a managed one, then your delete-workflow is perfect. If it is not managed, then the procedure is a little more complicated.
    Managed means, all master files of your images are stored inside your Aperture Library, referenced means they are stored somewhere outside the library. To create a referenced library you either decide at the time of the import to keep your master image files in their current location or to copy/move them into to library. Or you relocate managed master files to a new place outside Aperture.
    Since do not know if your masters are referenced or managed, they are probably managed, but you can check that with the badge-overlay:
    Referenced images should be displayed in the Browser with a curved arrow in the lower right corner, as described in this article: Understanding Badge Overlays:
    We need to know if there are referenced images, because when you delete the images it could be done in a way that the masters will not be deleted along with your version, also you will need storage outside your library.

    What does it mean when I get a message that says You do not have enough access privileges for this operation

    To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding.  Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.

  • How can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

    We need the Request Restart ability when scheduling a single reoccurring job in Redwood. Most of our jobs are scheduled in CHAINs which offers the Final Status Handler on Step level, and the schedule is "paused" when a job in the CHAIN has failed ( the next instance does not populate until the OP MSG has been Replied to) , and once the OPERATOR message is replied to, the CHAIN can resume running again ( desired ) . But we need this same ability when scheduling a single job not in a CHAIN. In our testing, we set up a job with Request Restart chosen on the Error , Killed and Unknown selections on the Restart Behavior Tab. But we found when a job is scheduled say once a day at 8AM, and when it fails, an OPERATOR msg appears allowing a Restart choice ( desired), but the next day's schedule also populates ( undesired) and we do NOT want the schedule to continue on yet because we need a chance to fix the error before the next insance runs for business reasons. So how can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

    Hello Fran,
    You can wrap the job chain in a master job chain in the first step and set the final status handler there.
    You can also set the Restart Behavior to 'Stop Submit Frame', in that case you will have to resubmit the job once you are finished troubleshooting.
    Regards Gerben

    I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this? Other people I work with and use macs have the same issue.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install

  • Can you get a battery replacement at an Apple store while you wait? What would the rough cost be, out of warranty?

    Can you get a battery replacement at an Apple store while you wait? What would the rough cost be, out of warranty?

    I am not sure what device you are trying to replace the battery on, but usually the battery is at least 30% of the cost of the device from what I have read. Apple likes to keep a monopoly on batteries I think. I have never seen them replace a battery at the store, usually they have to ship it out. You can find batteries for sale online, but you will have to crack the device open yourself.

    When taking a picture with home and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar?? (the search bars)

    No, but you can use any picture editing tool to crop out the bars.  (Many are free in the App Store.)  Me personally, I use PhotoPad, which I use to crop as well as rotate the screen shot.  Takes less than a minute to do both with PhotoPad.
