Dock not hide in auto mode

I have the pref set to auto hide but the dock doesnt - was told to trash
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
and restart.
This USED to work but doesnt any more - HONEST!! Can anybody help me??
Running latest Mavericks, 10.9.1.

Ricoricordo,
Before you begin another post, I have a couple of comments/questions.
Can you correlate the question mark to any missing application?
I would recommend that you drag the question mark off of the dock, and reattempt the plist removal.
Any plist files that you drag to the Desktop can be trashed.
If those steps are not successful, Create another User Account and name it Test User. If the Dock works in that new account, I recommend that you follow the checklist in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption, by Dr. Smoke.
If you are still having the problem after following that checklist, you can post a new question using the "Post New Topic" link on this page.

Dock not showing in auto hide

Hi,
My dock is set to auto-hide, and I am using spaces. however my dock does not always show when in put my cursor at the bottom, I have to swap to and from another space to get the dock to show or unhide.
My hot corners are also not working.
any suggestions, spaces bug?
Thanks

could be a bad preference file.
move the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the desktop. then restart dock by entering the following in terminal
killall Dock
this will reset your dock to the default and might fix the problem.

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

Auto mode focus selection sometimes not logical

I just purchased a refurbrished ELPH 330 and am trying its many settings. In auto mode the camera sometimes seems to select objects (no people in scene) to focus on that aren't logical. For example, if I have a plant on a table with a piece of paper in the foreground or background, it seems to select the paper rather than the plant even if the camera is centered on the plant. I also don't understand why sometimes it has a white focus frame around an object that turns green when the shutter is half presses, and sometimes it doesn't have a white fucus frame and when I press the shutter half way a single or multiple green frames will appear. Without the white focus frame there doesn't appear to be any point or points of focus.
It appears to me that auto mode works best for people and not other objects. Am I correct?

In my opinion AUTO is pretty much designed for those you hand the camera to so they can take YOUR photo. They obviously wouldn't know how to use it properly, have read the manual nor necessarily know ANYTHING about photography. It isn't the setting a photographer would use when trying to capture a specific scene unless it was as basic as it gets..

File Upload applet not opening in Query Mode

File Upload Applet is opening in Query Mode in Siebel 7.5, where as in Siebel 7.8 its not opening in Query Mode.
Should anything be changed in CFG? or siebel restricted this?

Hi,
There is a property called "Auto Query Mode" in the applet. Check whether this has been set to "New Query" in 7.5. If so the applet will be opening in Query Mode automatically. If this property is blank, in 7.8, the applet will not be opening in Query mode. Check and let me know.

Finder and Dock not responding to mouseover

You know how when you right click on a file and mouseover the 'open with' option to get a list of programs that are associated with the file type?
That stopped working on all of these type of menus, including the 'services' option that every programs top upper left dropdown gives you.
Also, and probably related, the dock does not hide and seek anymore, unless I switch to a different space, then it works for a second and then stops coming out of hiding.
It does the same thing when using the trackpad.
It may have to do with the latest update or X11.
Any ideas on this would be helpful.
Thanks

1.
-try to relaunch the finder, see if that works
2.
-move ~/Library/Preferences/ to a NewFolder
-log out/in, try to reproduce the issue
-if the issue is gone, move back the files in NewFolder to ~/Library/Preferences/ without replacing when asked

HT1222 security update 2014-001 1.0 will not load. Not even in safe mode. Says to contact manufacturer?

I have downloaded the latest Security Update from the Apps store, TWICe and neither time has it taken when installing. I then kept clicking and found a version specific to Mountain Lion, which I downloaded. That didn;t take on installation either, not even in Safe Mode. I have a VERY small amount of GB's per month (10 GB) and am increasingly frustrated with having tod ownload stuff that doesn't seem to work. AND the #1 hovering on the App symbol in the dock drives me nuts. Especially after downloading the same update now THREE TIMES?! Can anyon e help me to understand what's going on, or indeed how to make this thing work?

Same here.
Using AppStore twice: "unknown error"
I thought it might be because the AppStore installation didn't have access to my system keychain for administrator privileges, so I downloading manually, opened the DMG and ran the installer. I got the prompt for my password and the installer went almost to the end, including the "optimizing" step, but still same result:
The installation failed
The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
MacBook Pro 15"
OS X 10.8.5
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1333MHz DDR3
So how does one contact the manufacturer?
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have noticed many more application crashes (on launch, on quit or at random times), spinning beachballs and use of the Force Quit hotkeys. Maybe Apple should pay more attention to its computer business instead of playing in the fashion biz.

Syncronize Camera RAW not working when Auto is used

I have a problem with settings not being updated in Camera RAW when using the 'Auto' function.
I have to equalize exposure on a large number of RAW files (often 500+). The Auto function would be great, if it would only apply to the Exposure and not the other settings like contrast.
To reproduce:
Open 20 RAW files
Select all images
Click 'auto' under the 'tint slider'
Observe that settings change on all images
Now change any of the following settings (but NOT the Exposure slider!):
- Contrast
- Highlights
- Shadows
- Whites
- Blacks
Problem: only the settings on the first image are updated, the other images are not edited.
When you change the Exposure slider, the other settings are updated (probably because the 'auto' mode is disabled).
I have uploaded a small screen recording of this problem here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGx6wV5v774&feature=youtu.be
Using 'Synchronize' it is also not possible to copy over the settings to all images.
I contacted Adobe over the phone, but they can only give the usual nonsense (reset your preferences, reinstall Photoshop, etc).
I see other people with the same problem, did anybody find a solution or a workaround?

You now slide it up to open the camera instead of tapping.

X11 Won't start with auto mode ..[SOLVED]

HI all,
First of all let me say that Archlinux is an awsome distribution, got my laptop installed with kdemod in no time flat.
very fast running KDE on my aging (7 yr old laptop) ..
I am now trying to install on our family computer which has an nvidia based graphic card. I had a problem trying out my
new installation (using nvidia driver, not nv) bombing with an error when trying startx.
The error was basically saying that the xorg auto-mode determination was not working. If I put a manual mode like "1024x768" in my
xorg.conf file it works fine. It seems like the EDID detection on my Viewsonic monitor is not working.
I would like to run my monitor at higher resolutions than above, Is there a way to force EDID detection to work, or any other way to get
my monitor to display higher resolutions?
Many Thanks,
Bernie
Last edited by bmentink (2009-08-26 08:16:08)

I looked up all the resolution for the Viewsonic monitor, put them in as "Mode" , but Xorg refuses to load any of them except 1024x768.
I even tried an old xorg.conf that used to work just fine at 1680x1050 on a DreamLinux install, but refuses to with the nvidia driver installed with pacman.
In the log file, X complains that it doesn't have enough bandwidth to support the higher resolutions ..
Anyone have any other ideas .. this is nuts!
Cheers,
Bernie

Form not going in Query mode

hello freinds, Happy Christmas ..!
i have a Master_Detail form, FORM2
"LN_HEAD" table, that has 3 primary key;
ln_code
ln_no
ln_emp_code
"LN_DET" table has foreign key; Relation is set at form design time.
lnd_ln_code
lnd_ln_no
lnd_ln_emp_code
Form2 is called from Form1 on press of a button "bt1"
When-BT1_press, i am only initializing :GLOBAL.LN_CODE = 'LCD'
in FORM2 PRE-FORM
I am initializing LN_CODE := :GLOBAL.LN_CODE and setting initial value property of the field LN_CODE to :GLOBAL.LN_CODE
when the form displayed for the first time,,and i press F7 or Query button,form is going in field LN_EMP_CODE and
asking me to enter LN_EMP_CODE, as it is required field.
i also tried settng LN_EMP_CODE required property to false at design time and at WNFI, but then its firing WVI of LN_EMP_CODE
and raises form-failure message "emp does not exists'.
at form and ln_head block level i gave trigeer KEY-ENTQRY
CLEAR_RECORD;
CLEAR_BLOCK(NO_VALIDATE);
ENTER_QUERY;
but still not going in query mode. whats the matter? Has any1 face this issue before?
please advice me.
*on my form; 1st field is LN_DATE, 2nd LN_APPLY_DATE, 3rd LN_NO (auto-generated, enabled property set false at WNFI) and*
*4rth is LN_EMP_CODE*

I am initializing LN_CODE := :GLOBAL.LN_CODEWhat is LN_CODE in this initialization? Is it an item in one of the blocks of your form?

Dark pictures with canon 5d mark 3 and 600ex flash, night indoors in Auto Mode and flash on.

I have purchased a new canon 5d mark 3 and speedlight 600ex-rt flash. While testing it indoor at night , the room lights are on and I was using the Auto Mode with Flash on. The pictures are Dark with the Flash on and when the flash is turned off the pictures are brighter. I am confused. How to get the AUto mode working with the Flash on.

Automatic mode, it it's attempt to be reasonably foolproof, is going to lock you out of having any control over the exposure.
The E-TTL metering system on your camera & flash are attempting to find the correct exposure for your subject.
Due to laws of physics (the inverse-square law), light has "fall off". It's not actually possible to use a single light source and expose a large room with that single light. Either the subject is nicely lit but everything else will probably be too dark. OR... the background is nicely lit but the subject is heavily over-exposed. (BTW, there are two ways to get around this.)
The amount of fall-off is based on the relative distance from the light. Every time the distance increases by a factor of 1.4 the amount of light is cut in half. This means if you have subject 10' away, but you have a foreground object only 7' away and a background object 14' away, and the flash is exposed for the subject at 10', then the foreground object will be over-exposed (with twice as much light as needed) and the background will be under-exposed (with half as much libght as needed.) Incidentally... if you "double" or "halve" the distance then the light difference will be 4x or 1/4 (depending on if you are getting closer or farther.)
Here's a video which both explains and then later demonstrates the concept in a way that makes it very obvious to see and easy to understand. If it seems confusing at first... stick with it. The video is only 12 minutes long.
In fully automatic mode the camera wont let you control anything (except how far away you stand from your subject).
If you switch to "Program" mode, it essentially works like automatic mode EXCEPT it will actually allow you to override settings or set compensations.
When you use a flash in a room with some ambient lighting (but otherwise dimly lit) there's a technique called 'dragging the shutter' (which the camera can actually do for you somewhat automatically).
To do that, set the camera to Tv mode (Tv = Time value... which is shutter priority mode). Dial in a slow-ish shutter speed... say around 1/60th of a second. Use a moderately boosted ISO (400 would probably work well... you might even go up higher).
The camera is going to evaluate the exposure needed for the room as though you don't have a flash... and it'll set the camera settings accordingly. However... since it knows you have a flash, it'll still perform the E-TTL II exposure metering and will use the flash anyway. What you end up with is a shot that has a nicely exposed primary subject (because the camera used flash) AND... a nicely exposed background which was primarily illuminated with ambient light -- but looks pretty good because the camera used an exposure that was adequate for the ambient light.
The reason I suggest using Tv mode and NOT Av mode is because you can control the mixture of flash vs. ambient light by controlling the TIME that the shutter is open. But this does NOT work if you control either the aperture or ISO.
Here's why: The flash is "momentary" but the ambient is constant. If you were to adjust the aperture settings, that will increase or decrease ALL the light sources that contribute to the exposure... so it increases (or decreases) the amount of flash AND the amount of ambient light ... and it does them in the same proportions. If you want to bright up the background lighting WITHOUT over-exposing your foreground subject, then you don't want to increase both... you only want to increase the amount of ambient light.
Since the flash is a momentary burst of light, if you leave shutter open longer you wont actually collect any more light from the flash (because the flash was providing illumination for only a tiny fraction of a second. Extending the amount of time that the shutter remains open means the camera will _only_ collect more of the ambient light... and that helps bring up the dark backgrounds.
One way to get around the flash fall-off problem is to greatly increase the distance between flash and subject. You still get "fall off" but now the distance you have to change to notice the fall off really increases. But this method usually isn't very practical because you'll be standing much farther then you'd prefer to be to get the shot.
The second way (and much more practical) is to "drag the shutter" (deliberately use longer shutter times so that the camera can collect more ambient light long after the flash is done.).

Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off

My Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off. It shows the empty battery icon when I press the shutter button, even the battey is fully charged. If I remove the battery and insert back it will resume to work. Any one had the same experience and know how to resolve it?

The power switch is actually a "software" switch. It's not like a light switch in that it doesn't actually provide or deprive the camera of power... only removing the battery will deprive the camera of power. This is why it doesn't actually just go dark when you switch off power... instead you'll usually see it perform a sensor clean cycle and then power down. The camera is technically in a kind of "sleep" mode monitoring the switch. If a Canon camera ever seems to lock up and ignore all input, the battery should be temporarily removed to "reboot" the camera. There is no "setting" in a camera that can configure it to ignore buttons. Although... if the camera is in an automatic mode, some input is deliberately ignored to make it easier to use the camera. Put the mode dial in a "creative zone" mode (P, Tv, Av, or M) and all buttons and menus should be accessible. You might try connecting the camera via USB cable to your computer and then attempt to control the camera via the Canon EOS Utility to see if that works. If the camera responds fine to the computer control, then likely the camera's main board and circuits are working fine and it may just be a wiring problem -- as if some cable simply isn't getting a very solid connection. If this is a wiring issue, you are probably better off sending it in for service.

Problem Importing with Channel setting in Auto mode

I had the impression that if I chose the "auto" mode on channel selection under Edit-Preferences-Burning - Custom, then Itunes could tell if the recording was mono or stereo and upload accordingly thus saving space for mono recordings. But with "auto" all of my uploads are in stereo - only when I change the setting to Mono will Itunes upload a mono recordng as mono. Was I wrong in my assumption of the Auto setting or is something wrong - I am usung the latest version of Itunes 7 Thanks in advance for any help Jay

Also, I am not using a multi-channel output, only built-in output (stereo). Still, does not seem to work.
Another test -- opened file in Soundtrack Pro. I see the four channels, though they are grouped in some way that I cannot separate at present. I save the file as aiff, and this time Logic will open it, though it seems somehow corrupted, won't play.

Core center auto mode like DOC

My neo2-ls OCs my p4 2.8c to 3ghz when i run it on auto mode. This fluctuated based on the cpu temp. Also when i boot my FSB is set to 202 mhz instead of 200. When i click defualt it goes back to 200 mhz. Both instances seem a tad odd. Im running BIOS version 1.3 too.
Also, If im running mushkin high perf level 2 PC-3500 clocked down to 400 mhz will I likely be able to run duel-channel with Ultra turbo mode on?
also, whats the optimal temp range for p4 2.8c?

Using the manual mode it does not increase the speed of the fans when the temperature increases. With an old version (which I haven't kept) it worked fine in auto mode, i.e. according to the load of the CPU the fan speed was adjusted.

Xperia M loses network on WCDMA/GSM auto mode

Hi there,Xperia M usually loses network while calling on WCDMA/GSM auto mode. After a few seconds of a call phone freezes, a caller does not hear me, I do not hear them either.After this phone becomes unreachable for several minutes. However the network coverage shows as 100%.I know you might advise to switch to GSM mode only, but this is not a solution. I have bought 3G phone, and I need 3G.in order to be back to network I have to reboot the phone.This is surely a bug of loosing the network while auto-switching WCDMA/GSM modes automatically.Dear Support team, any solutions?thank you.Best, Max

The first thing you should try is to repair your phone with SUS or PCC, also remove any taskillers, antivirus apps Update Service (SUS) PC Companion (PCC) Bridge (for Mac) Alternatives on How to backup Xperias http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36355
