Genie effect not working

I've a new computer w/snow leopard, which I've had for two weeks. Up until now, I hadn't used the genie effected on my dock. I come to find out it isn't working. I've tried what was suggested on another thread, which is: Users/myname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist, tossed in the trash and reboot, but it didn't work. Is there anything else I can do? I'd be much obliged for any help. Thank you.  ~Pelusita

'Don't I feel like the "f" ing fool.' :::::Jack Nicholson sly grin::::::!   You were right with the above statement.  In the past, I would click the top of any part of whatever window I had open and the genie effect worked and the icon of whatever window I had clicked on would show up on the dock, next to the trashcan.  Not so with 10.6.7.  I came to find out that I have to click the [yellow] minimizing button  for the genie effect to work.  Mea maxima culpa -my bad.
P.S.  This is interesting If you want to watch the genie effect work in slow motion, hold down the "shift," key when you click the minimizing button.  I found this quite by accident on Google.

    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • Any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station pls

    any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station please ? classic working fine, so not the fault of the station itself ? it's been bought as a present for my father & he's confused !

    Check the headphone jack with a flashlight and clean it if necessary. The jack on a new Nano is very tight, be sure you push the headset jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

  • Lighting Effect not work in CS6*

    Why Filter/ Render/ Lighting Effect not work in CS6?
    It's not work only in CS6 Beta or in anything else :-/. It's Useful with me

    A bit more information would be helpful.  What is happening on your system when you go to  lighting effects?
    What system are you running on? What video card are you using? Are you using the most recent driver?
    Do check our system FAQ as GPU is requried for lignting effects to work properly.

  • After Effects not working in Mavericks

    Is anyone having issues with Adobe After Effects not working in Maveriks? Premeire, Photoshop, Audition all work, but not AE. No update from Adobe available.

  • My Ipod 4th gen will not work without the charger.

    My ipod nano 4th gen will not work without the charger.

    How much it costs depends on who you have replace the battery whether that be Apple or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's prices.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    It would likely be much cheaper to have a 3rd party company do it instead.  One company I have heard a lot of good things about is iResq.  For others, do a simple Google search for "iPod battery repair" and you should get a plethora of results.

    I don't believe Radio Shack does offer that service.  Sorry.

  • 2nd gen shuffle not working windows 7

    I connected my 2nd gen shuffle to my laptop (Windows 7) and it told me I need to restore it, but Itunes keeps crashing every time i tried. I restared my pc, then it stopped showing in Itunes but showed on devices, and was on. Now it does nothing at all, no lights or anything. Any help appreciated

    I have two suggestions.  There is an iPod Reset Utility
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
    that is only for the 1st and 2nd gen shuffle.  It does something like a Restore in iTunes, but works at a "lower" level in cases when a Restore in iTunes does not work (or cannot be used).  For it to work, the shuffle does need to be seen by the system, and it sounds like yours meets that requirement.
    Unfortunately, I don't think it works with Windows 7.  If you happen to have an older PC with 32-bit Windows, you can use that PC to run the utility on the shuffle.  Or, maybe you have a friend with a Mac or 32-bit Windows PC that can run it for your.  Or, if you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the Genius Bar and ask them to look at it and run the reset utility.
    The second suggestion, if you don't have a convenient way to use the reset utility, is to use Windows to reformat the shuffle's storage like it was a flash drive.  Use a "full" format (not the "quick" option).  Use the "FAT" format type.  Make sure iTunes is NOT running.  After it is reformatted, it will be blank.  When you run iTunes, it should recognize the shuffle and ask you to Restore it (to re-install the software and set it to default settings).  Hopefully, it will work this time.

  • Lighting effect not working for photoshop CC 2014

    hello there i can not seem to get the lighting effects working in Photoshop cc 2014 i updated it and also made sure my graphic driver was updated and also made sure that it was strong enough to run it and it is so now i'm just confused why its not working.
    not sure what to do from here need to get some textures done and this does not help and couldn't find anwsers on the adobe contact us tab so came here.

    I could repro this. Fix it by restarting Photoshop.
    What happens is that when you toggled your graphics acceleration on without restarting Photoshop, it made Photoshop go coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs. (It happens.) Hopefully, someone from Adobe's staff will see this.

  • Clip name effect not working correctly in 2014/2014.1

    I'm referring to these notes from the latest bug fixes here...
    Bugs fixed in Premiere Pro 2014.1 Release | Premiere Pro work area
    "Clip name effect doesn’t work correctly if Source Track is set to a different track."
    "The Clip Name effect does not work when applied to a transparent video track item, with Source Track set to a video clip."
    I've just updated Premiere (2014.1) to specifically fix these two bugs. The Clip name effect isn't using the correct file names. It uses something close but not quite e.g. clip 100 shows as 100B which is down the timeline.
    The effect is applied to a transparent layer (have also tried it in a black video layer) and the clip name drawn from a different video track (video/PNGs in track 1, transparent video and effect is in track 3). This problem only appears when videos are in the timeline. When used with stills (PNGs) it works fine.
    Any idea of a fix or workaround that isn't using some kind of titling filter? I'm looking to automate the shot naming process for a pipeline in creating animation animatics and this would be perfect. If to actually worked properly.
    Using Premiere on a Mac Book Pro with 10.9.5.

    Anyone from Adobe care to offer some insight as it's something that is reportedly fixed?

  • Why is ken burns effect not working on individual slides I have amended when sent to iDVD

    When making a slideshow in iPhoto, I changed the zoom and scan on individual slides as instructed in the Help dialog; these showed perfectly when played.  However, when I shared the slideshow to iDVD, those particular slides were just 'still' and there was no Ken Burns effect at all.  Why did this happen?

    The Slideshow was created in iPhoto and then shared to iDVD.  The Ken Burns effect works on all the photos that used the basic "Ken Burns' setting.  However, on some of the photos I tried to amend the scanning to zoom into particular faces or parts of the photo.  When I played the slideshow in iPhoto, these amended photos were exactly as I wanted, but after 'sharing' it and viewing it in iDVD, those photos I had altered were 'frozen' and the Ken Burns effect did not work at all, neither the automatic version, nor the specific way I had set it.  All the other photos still had the Ken Burns effect as expected.  I am using  iPhoto 11, 9.1.5, I haven't had this problem in the past.
    If you have any ideas why this should have happened I'd be grateful.
    Thanks

  • Eye Dropper tool in After Effects Not working Properly

    I am using Adobe After Effects CS5 on a mac. And most all of the eyedropper tools in the software are not working properly. They always select a way different color than it should be. What is wrong?
    One day they just all decided to not work. Its really frustrating. Its been a few weeks now.

    Well, For some strange reason its working just fine today. I did restart my computer yesterday and after that it seems to be working.
    I haven't recenitly messed with my hardware acceleration/graphics card or monitor color profile. So if that was it, then it did it on its own.
    None the less its working now. Thank you for your help!!!

  • Sound effects not working after upgrade

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my system sound effects are no longer working. Instead of hearing my selected Basso sound, my entire screen flashes.  Other sounds, such as the audio track of a video, still work fine. If I use the "afplay" command I can hear a system sound. I also get sounds for incoming and outgoing mail.  But clicking one of the system alert sounds in the "Sounds" preference pane does nothing audible, and in other places where I used to get a Basso sound,  my screen flashes instead.  I'm aware of the Accessibility option that gives the screen flash in lieu of an audible alert, but that is turned off, and I have tried turning it on and back off again, to no avail.  My "Alert volume" is all the way up in the "Sounds" preference pane, and I've slid that back and forth too.
    Can anyone suggest a way to reset whatever got confused in the upgrade, and get my alert sounds back?
    I'm on a 13" mid-2009 MacBook Pro, if that matters.
    Thanks!

    I had same exact problem - Reset PRAM and not works fine. I followed instructions here, and step 5 fixed it: http://www.iphonetopics.com/no-sound-after-upgrading-to-os-x-yosemite/

  • Photo Booth Effect not working

    I upgraded to 10.4.8 and 75% of my Photo Booth effects stopped working. There is only a blank screen instead of a camera image. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Photo Booth worked great before the upgrade. I have a 20" iMac intel. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Hi OH~IO,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions
    First try Repairing Permissions, with the Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities. This will read your Receipts folder for the latest Permissions based on the Updates.
    Next, if that does not work try deleting com.apple.Photobooth.plist for your Home/library/Preferences Folder and restarting Photo Booth.
