I learned Quick tip to get this to work for you guys. Instead of "cd /Users/michaelbreiner/Desktop/­smackbook" from the copied text, change it to "cd ~/Desktop/smackbook" That is the problem, when you change it to this, it should now work. i also had the same problem as the people with the no such file or directory part. By typinig the one i did, it locates it in finder, then skips to that desktop sidebar one. It is a little complicated but works for me. and i have lion. Also Beast vid! Thanks!!

@DaAwesomePwner Thank you for your simplification. The video has been updated to incorporate your suggestion.

hey ...my mac doesn't change when i smack it....i've done everything just the way it should be done.....any idea?the writing appeared and everything but it just doesnt work :(

[bobretsmith]

@ppjjlop Two things: 1. Did you enable access for assitive devices? 2. Open up terminal, (the one that minimizes) and see if it says ams tracker present and instilized somewhere. If it says no such file or folder found, then there is something that you have done wrong.

tried it a few days ago

Thanks Simone x

Actually, the lower the number the more sensitive. You can play around with it. 25 was just a good average sensitivity.

what about if you have lion? there's no option for expose and spaces in system preferences? :S

[billytamali101]

thanks, works perfectly!

[presario1986]

Can this somehow be used to change between tab on Safari instead of Spaces?

[xNinjaCow]

Hey Man, I did absolutely everything you did and I enabled acess for assistive devices and in terminal I get, {No such file or directory}.

Help? Copied The Text. Did Everything.
