Quick way to switch between desktop applications

Hello.

From what I understand, the "move to the top left corner, click and move down the left edge"Win8 maneuver only works with modern applications. "

Using desktop for most applications, I often find it difficult to move quickly from one to the other. The taskbar or desecration bar (alt + tab) are much too crowded.

Is there a way faster and more efficient?

Oh and by the way, what happens to the spinning wheel (Win + tab key)?

What Windows Key + Tab

There also 3rd party software to change your Alt + Tab completely as VistaSwitcher (I think it is compatible with Windows 8)
The task bar are a good way to switch between desktop applications too
You can the software in the taskbar next to the line and proceed with the Windows key + 1,2,3,4

    Hello Brent Spore.

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to keep your Mac running properly, and I want to help him.  Whenever we see the behavior as what you described, it is a good idea to test the symptoms in a separate user in safe mode. This will help us determine if the remanence of the icon is linked to a problem with the user account or if it's a question broad system. The articles below will guide you through these steps.

    How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the ghost still occurs in safe mode, then we know it is a question broad system and I would recommend backup your Mac and Mac OS re-install using recovery, as described in the articles below:

  • (Vista) Is there a PRACTICE way to switch between speakers and analog headset?

    (Vista) Is there a PRACTICE way to switch between speakers and analog headset? Must I ALWAYS return the default setting, depending on which audio output device I want to use?

    We have recently installed Music Maker 16.  Before that, we never had a need for headphones and a microphone.  Now, in trying to use the headphone and microphone - and THEN switch back to speakers - we discover a problem.  Apparently, the only way to do it is to change the audio output device by default EVERY time.

    The dispute with this cannot be more of this.  My son records a beat and singing (with headphone and microphone), and then, play through speakers (so we can all hear), we need to change the default settings.  And back...  There must be a better way!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please talk layman jargon; I'm not a COMPUTER guru.  Thank you!!!

    Hi AnnieElle,

    You will need to switch between the speakers and the analog device and special value to use as the default device. There is no way to set the device to be used at the same time. You can follow the steps below to switch between the speaker and analog device.

    1. right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar.

    2. click on the playback device.

    3. Select speakers or analog device.

    4. right-click on it and click on set as default device.

    Hope the above information helps.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • What is the best way to switch between the two sets of bookmarks, say 'work' and 'private '?

    I want to use for sets of bookmarks, so that when I'm not working, I'm not distracted by my favorites not work and vice versa. For the last two months, I use two user accounts to achieve, but it's kinda a PITA. Links from other applications like Thunderbird mail are opened in the default profile. In other words, when I'm not at work and I click on a link in an e-mail, a new window opens with the work of my Firefox profile.

    All I need is a thing or an extension to switch quickly sets bookmark. Or a way to switch profiles without having to open a new Firefox window. Any ideas?

    You can not get Firefox works as you explain that you want. The default profile cannot be changed on the fly for the profile you are currently using. This message "Firefox is already running... "returns to cause you or 'something' trying to open a profile 2 (or later), unless -no-remote command has been used to open the additional profile. And -no-remote will not work to open the default profile without causing problems with the way Windows works with "call" the default browser.

    In response to your last statement - "to separate my work and private stuff I just need to change the content of my bookmarks bar, so I was hoping there was a trick to keep groups of favourites."

    This extension will allow you to change the Bookmarks Toolbar folder while you use Firefox.
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/set-as-bookmarks-toolbar-folde/
    I just installed this extension and check that it still works in 35 of Firefox.
    There is a context menu item for 'Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder' ' which appears when the Menu Bookmarks menu Bar drop-down is used (not in the library window or the bookmarks bar). This menu item is displayed when you right-click a folder in the folder Menu bookmarks. It does not appear with the folder "Personal bar" or the "Unsorted Bookmarks" - only a folder in the Menu "Favorites".
    Should be 'resolved' eager to have two different settings for the bookmarks toolbar, but the profile default 'thing' is always a problem for what you are trying to accomplish. I don't 'see a fix' for that - without resorting to a 2nd user account window, which is what I thought you were referring to by "I use two user accounts to achieve" in your initial post.
    And because the menu bar is hidden by default, these days, you can use Alt and B to open the bookmarks menu dropdown Bar Menu 'revealed' so you can access this menu "Set as bookmarks toolbar folder" item - without having to show the Menu Bar all the time.

    BTW, using 'accounts' instead of 'Profiles' can be confusing during the review of Firefox profiles.

  • Development of switching between desktop App

    Hey All-

    I was stuck on what seems like a simple question. I can't find a clear answer here.

    Switching between apps in different offices.

    Example:

    You will need to tilt back a lot between Safari and Photoshop.

    Each application is the only application open.

    Work in office 1 with Safari.

    Working in the office with Photoshop 3.

    I use the command + Tab.

    Working in Safari (and vice versa): using command-Tab it shows in the Menu bar which is Photoshop. But the development of the app screen does not switch on Photoshop in Desktop 3. It remains on Safari.

    This occurs with any application between desktops.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    In preferences-> Mission control system you have the option "when passing to an application, switch to a space with windows open to the application" license?

  • YouTube videos are green for a few seconds when they start, quickly moving and switch between fullscreen and windowed mode

    suddenly, last night something happened with youtube. whenever I run a video on youtube its green for a few seconds, then it goes back to normal. its also green when I fast forward/jump and when I change between full screen and windowed. I linked to a screenshot of how it looks as if I googled this problem I find something else where people get a green screen but no picture at all and that it lasts the entire video.

    I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card. I tried to play on my nvidia card rather than use my intel graphics hd 4600 and still got the same result, but instead to get a green image, it was really dark almost black. I also tried to reinstall flash even downgrade to an earlier version, but nothing does. and the strange thing is that I only have this problem on youtube and only through firefox so I even tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not work either

    I found 2 things of this kind of help.
    the first solution is to disable hardware acceleration, but instead to get a green image for a few seconds, image frozen for the same period of time and then play and she is like when its Green, when I start it up, jump and change to full or windowed.

    the second solution I found in support for mozilla, to change the HTML5 player. But even if this player works great I really like it. for some reason any the break from the drive when I change between full screen and windowed mode and I don't like these pop-up windows get you that its now in full screen and I can press ESC to quit.

    These are just little things, but I would like to return the standard player.
    If anyone knows anything that could help me with this please let me know.

    This is the screenshot:

    What a little wild speculation?

    YouTube uses a technology that has chopped videos in individual pieces, which is probably video serve more easily, but could create more opportunities for issues when moving in the video. There is an add-on called Center of YouTube that allows you to disable this technology and back to the days of one big file. Might be worth a try.

  • Is there a quick way to navigate between the image tags?

    I use the scroll at the bottom of the timeline bar to go to different periods. It's slow I have thousands of images. I wonder if there is a similar interface like window Actions of the labels on the timeline. I mean you can see all the scripts in the left pane and be able to go there directly by clicking on anyone on the list. I would be fine if you can see all your labels in a menu and click here to go there directly (I think that). Maybe I can put a dummy script in different label, and then I can use the Action window of to go.

    Is there a better way?

    Thank you!

    The movie Explorer window. At the top is a set of marked options Show: select the fifth button, spectacle frames and layers. Scroll to the bottom of the window and you should see a marked section of the markers. You can double-click any one of these elements and scrolls the timeline to this brand of the image.

  • How to switch between multiple windows in the same application?

    Hello

    I use OS X Capitan version 10.11.13 and I'm trying to find an easy way to switch between multiple windows in the same application by using CTRL + alt or different keys.

    Here is what I feel...

    Let's say I have Outlook, Google Chrome, Safari, iTunes and apps 'about this Mac' open.

    I open the new message window in Outlook and another Chrome window. I have therefore 2 separate windows in Outlook and Chrome.

    With that, I'm unable to move the composition and the window main outlook which is so annoying. Let's say I want to read the emails by the prospect main window and transfer of the content of the compose window! The command + tab doesn't take me to the main window of Microsoft outlook! Even if there were the last visited / applications window. This constraint is not intuitive, unless it can be configured in the settings?

    Strangely, I can't switch to the "about this Mac" window.

    The work around is to use the function (F3) mission button and click on the window, that I want to use or click the "Outlook" application on the dock icon and choose the window in the list.

    Does anyone know how switch between different windows in the same application by using a key combination or one another method other than listed above?

    Thank you

    Avinash

    In general, an Application that can open multiple windows provides a "Windows menu" you can choose the window you want.

  • Always possible to switch between the languages?

    Yesterday, I myself received a multilingual for CC membership in order to be able to switch between languages in Photoshop CC 2014.

    I was told there is no possibility to switch between languages without uninstalling and re - install photoshop (after the change of the language of application of CC).

    Is this correct? Or is there a way to switch between the languages easier?

    In fact what you are doing are double, install the language pack for the app to creative cloud, then open Photoshop, preferences in > Interface > INTERFACE language, select the newly installed language and restart Photoshop.

    This Visual guide should explain it: Photoshop CC / bad INTERFACE language / how to change? Adobe Community

    The creative cloud 'Préférences' office by clicking on the gear in the top icon on the right. Then click the App tab in the preferences to see and choose your language. Photoshop will then have a button 'Install' or 'try '. Click it, wait for the installation to complete. Close the preferences.

    Do the same for each language that you want. Once installed, they will be in the Photoshop UI language list. Simply select and restart.

  • Switch between the two alternative provisions (both in portrait mode)

    I have created two alternative facilities for the purpose of these two being in portrait orientation, as they are to view the same article in two different languages. Is there a way to switch between the two using the navto: / / action or by using bookmarks and by using the go to destination. I tried both but I was wondering if there was something there.

    I have a publication ideally appearing in both languages, though being a main language and the seconary being there only for reference. I'm not wanting to produce two folios and use the filter region with Apple, as have the secondary language, as a reference is a selling point for the publication. Also using"States" would be more complicated.

    He must choose between non-ideal solutions, as a magical sticky toggle 'use this language' is not available.

    If you do mind ' t using the rocker on each page, then navto would be OK. and each page of the reference language should have a back button go. All reference pages that can be marketed after the main pages, and each of them can be hidden from OCD.

    If you opt for parity between languages, then you could start the app with no menu-swipable selection page, where you can decide what language to use. At the end of these two sections, another non-swipable page would give you the choice to read another language. The trick of no-swipable page gives users a feeling of an application of the only language of his choice.

    And I would use diapers, not another layout for the production. Seems to be a cleaner solution for me.

  • Best method of communication between the Application LV

    Hello together,

    I'm looking for the best way of communication between two Applications LabVIEW. As VI is clear, I can use a queue or a global variable and so on.

    But what is the best, when I compile the screw later for DLLs or Applications. So far, we always use the TCP/IP Protocol, but I think that there must be a better way instead.

    So if someone has an idea - he is welcome.

    Thanks in advance

    What I don't like with TCP/IP you still need a second thread (looped) who manages the TCP/IP communication. I thought that there must be an easier way.

    I also thought that shared variables are always limited to a single application. Thanks for the ideas...

    This second loop is a loop that YOU control. If you go with shared variables you are a slave to what they can or cannot do. In addition, they work over TCP/IP is not out of the picture.

    Its your call.

  • Windows 8 keep switching between screens

    Not "app mail" problem as shown in 'windows under heading' but no problem selected in the list for me to choose. Microsoft issue again.

    Windows 8 keep switching between windows. Word and internet or even just internet screen goes by the United Nations, highlighting the window, then 10 seconds later highlights the window again.

    Even while typing on this issue, it happens, and words and letters get spleen and loose spacing between words.

    Does the same thing when you type in a Word document, even if nothing else is running.

    I'm gone in "Configuration", 'change pc settings', 'general', off "allow to switch between recent applications" and turned off "when I drag from the left edge etc." but always keeps switching between windows.

    I removed all the 'apps' as well.

    It is not do it in "safe mode" cannot run what whether in 'safe mode' obviously, so it is useless.

    Nothing in Windows can do, so make sure you follow what you install and remove any element t - it.  If you see happen, feel free to post back and I'll work with you.

    Microsoft is no not any product that activates applications even if you do not touch the computer.  It may even be a virus.

  • Switch between integrated and dedicated graphics

    I have a XPS 17 (L702X) and I wonder if there is any way to switch between the dedicated Nvidia Geforce GT555M graphics card integrated into the processor. I ask this because I rarely use it for games and so on and I need to have a little more battery. Given that he uses all the time the NVidia it drain the battery.

    To quote that I have i7 2670 QM and after doing some research, he has integrated graphics.

    Thanks in advance for your help
