    OK, this is an elementary question but I have yet to find documentation or threads referring to it:

    How do I switch between apps running on my Mac using Parallels Mobile on my iPad?

    In other words:
    How do I make the Mac's dock appear?
    Or do I invoke Mission Control? How do I do that? There is no dedicated Mission Control function key on the iPad keyboard. (There is no 'fn' key either, to enable the fn+F9 combo.)
    Do I need to set up Launchpad on my Mac and then hide all apps and then click on a Launchpad icon?

    Apologies in advance for being so thick...

    MBP: PD 7.0
    iPad: PM 3.1

    If your Dock is hiding - you need to make it visible to use Parallels Mobile. There is no any specific combination to see mission control or dock

    Solved...

    Thanks YanaYana, I didn't consider that.

    I found that if I carefully tap in the bottom screen area, the Dock will eventually appear. It's a bit fiddly to do that though.

    Another method is to use the Mission Control shortcut set up in the MacBook's Settings: <CTL>+^.
