Dock icons not showing if they're open

My dock icons don't have the normal little 'tick' underneath them to show that they're open.
Any idea what's going on? fix?

beechpark --
The triangle has been replaced with a white dot or light just under the apps that are open.
If your dock is on the side of your screen, the dot is just beside the open app.
Hope this helps.

  • My dock does not show what files are open... Any way to fix?

    My dock does not show if a file is open. No little arrow shows up, and when I click and hold on an icon of an open program it acts as if it is not open (still giving me the open program option, and not showing me force quit options, etc...).
    Advice please?

    This issue makes me wonder what "genius" at Apple designed the new Dock display. I'm by no means old or losing my sight, I wear glasses but other than that no problems. So why is it so difficult to see those balls under the active apps? They are so blended in that it's not easy to see them at a glance. Why not at least give us the option to adjust those settings.

  • Finder Strange behaviour: folder and file icons not showing, then they disa

    Yesterday I was trying to install the postgresql package from (http://web.mac.com/dru_satori/iWeb/PostgreSQLforMac/Welcome.html). Actually I had an older version of their package, i uninstalled it, tried installing the new package, but kept receiving errors that the installation was not correct.
    Now the point of this question, as I was doing the above, i started to notice that some files (either on my desktop or in a folder window) are not showing the icon. Only the label is showing! when I click on such a file, the file disappear (i mean even the label is gone).
    I have completed permission repairs, disk repairs. I also noticed that this is only happening in my account, but not that of other accounts on this computer, which indicates that this is a problem in my home directory. I have also re-lunched the finder using the force quit window. I have also trashed the com.apple.finder.plist and logged out and then logged in again. I have just noticed that (pages) is asking for the serial number! I have this program installed months ago! It seems that some other files are also getting damaged!
    Is there something that I am missing? Is this a bug? is there any solution, because this is very annoying and it might indicate a bigger problem that I am not aware of.

    I also noticed that this is only happening in my account, but not that of other accounts on this computer, which indicates that this is a problem in my home directory.
    Good first troubleshooting step!
    Now log back into your normal user account: (In your case I would try preferences first)
    1. Navigate to ~(yourhome/library/fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart and test your applications.
    • If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
    ( Likely suspects are Times RO & Helvetica Fractions, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
    2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
    • Navigate to ~(yourhome/library/preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart and test your applications.
    • If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
    ** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
    You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
    3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
       • Navigate to yourhome/library.
       • Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
       • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
       • Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
    • Click on "apply to all"
       • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
    Note:
    The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
    If the issue persists navigate to yourhome/library/caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.

  • My FaceTime icon in dock is not showing when and how many calls I have missed (similar to the email system where it shows how many emails (on the stamp icon) have been received

    My Face Time icon in dock does not show how many calls I have missed.  It should show the number similar to the email system(a red number appears on the stamp icon).  How can I rectify this problem? 

    Hey michelefromuk,

    Check or uncheck "Badge app icon" option to show badges on the icon of the app in the Dock.

  • App icons not showing up after downloading?

    Why do my app icons not show up on my iPad2? I have purchased the apps on my iPad directly. Also, I know they are there because when I search it finds them and then I can open and run them.

    Jennifer-
    Could the Apps be on the second page of Apps?  From your Home page, wipe across from right to left to scroll to page 2.
    If that is the problem, press and hold on the icon.  When it starts to wiggle, you can drag it back to the first page.  This can also be done from iTunes when the iPad is selected.

  • ICal Dock icon not changing

    It's the 2nd of February today, but the dock icon still shows that it's the 1st. When I open iCal, the icon switches to the 2nd, but reverts back to the 1st when I close iCal. I'll check again tomorrow, but this might need a fix.

    Oh awesome, it worked thanks! I forgot about plists, silly me.
    For reference, navigate to:
    [yourusername]>Library>Preferences>iCalExternalSync.plist
    Delete the plist file and logout/in- should do the trick. Thanks teorema67!

  • The body of email is not showing, have to click open the email to see it

    the body of the emails in my inbox are suddenly not showing, have to click open to see them, then it works. It is not how it should work. Have I, by mistake, changed anything that caused it? Updated the OSX Yosemite one day ago

    Howdy [email protected],
    If you are not seeing the body of the mail the separator bar may be moved to one side so you only see the mail list.
    Mail (Yosemite): Read messages
    Hide messages: Drag the separator bar all the way to the right. To show messages again, drag the bar to the left.
    If you are in Classic view, the separator bar would move to the bottom.  Move it back up to see the mail preview.
    Best,

  • Icons not showing up in Dock

    I've got OSX Snow Leopard running and everything was great. However, recently, when I open a program from spotlight, the icon will not show up in the dock. Any suggestions?

    delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults. see if the dock behaves after that.

  • Open Buddies window when clicking dock icon, not Messages window

    Fantastically annoying that clicking the dock icon for messages does not open the buddy list..this should be configurable. 

    Right!?!? Beyond annoying, it's like Apple has gone out of it's way to just make little annoyances.  I wish it would just go back to how iChat was, or like you said, make it configurable.
    Also, if you close out of all Messages windows, and then put the computer to sleep (this is something I do quite common), when you return from sleep, Messages has completely quit on its own.  Why....??
