Hello, I believe this has been touched on briefly, but I have come across two machines where Apple+TAB does not switch the active window. Can anyone tell me if there is something I can do/check for to resolve this problem? I believe someone mentioned that certain applications may not support this keystroke? Does that mean, then, that if one of these applications is the active window, that Apple+TAB will not function? The user made it seem like she had this functionality before, leading me to believe that there is something I should check for... Thanks in advance, in time I hope to be answering others questions and contributing to the discussions rather then just taking from them! -Dan

Unless the Mac in question is running OS 8.5 or later and the Application Switcher is turned on, or a third-party switcher is installed, cmd-tab doesn't do anything. Grab a freeware utility called Dock Manager Lite from Versiontracker.com and use that to manage it. p

Thanks P, The OS is in fact 9.1. How do I confirm that the application switcher is open? I assume it's a little window-type app that will be floating somewhere? If CMD-TAB is not working, that not being open could be the issue - that being said, how do I reopen it? I checked the Apple support forum, which said something about "tearing it away from the Application menu"....could you explain it a little clearer mate? Thanks!

The App Switcher palette doesn't actually have to be open; in fact, I prefer to leave mine closed. Grab Dock Manager Lite. It'll handle all that for you and is laid out quite simply with good help. p
