Hoping icons on the dock

Hi.
How do I make the icons not jump up and down? I would very much like to turn this feature off.
please help!
thanks
Jesse

Hello jsblack,
It's very simple go & click on Apple-icon top left (menu bar)
Then click on Dock>Dock Preferences. This will bring-up the Dock menu window listing the following; Dock Size, Magnification, Position on Screen,
Minimize. Below Minimize are 2 check boxes 1st Animate opening App's
2nd Automatically hide & show Dock.
Uncheck the fist one if it is checked already (Animate opening App's) that's it.

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • Seeing multiple iPhoto libraries when I click on the iPhoto icon in the dock?

    I can't figure out why I am seeing multiple iPhoto libraries when I click on the iPhoto icon in my dock.  I am running Lion on an early 2008 MacBook Pro (4 GB RAM), and when I click and hold on the iPhoto icon in the dock, it brings up a dialog box.  From top to bottom, this is what I see:
    iPhoto Library
    iPhoto LIbrary
    iPhoto Library
    Options
    Show Recents
    Open
    I can't figure out why it shows three iPhoto libraries when I only have one on my computer.  I've tried deleting the icon from the dock and then putting it back in the dock, but it still shows three libraries for some reason.  If I search for iPhoto in spotlight search or in finder, it only shows one iPhoto (in the applications folder).  Any help on how to resolve this weird issue would be much appreciated!

    I have the same issue.  I see four iPhoto libraries when I right click on the iPhoto icon in the dock, but I only actually have two libraries.  The other two simply do not exist on my computer.  And when I click on the libraries that do not exist, obviously nothing happens.  In the image, only the bottom two libraries are actual photo libraries.  The top two do not exist.
    I have relaunched Finder, restarted the computer, and even restored the entire computer from my Time Machine backup.  Nothing changes.  No matter what I try, the non existent iPhoto libraries continue to be present when I right click the iPhoto icon in the dock.  BTW, there are only two iPhoto libraries in the pictures folder.
    This is very frustrating and annoying.

    How do I get rid of those two non existent iPhoto libraries from the Dock.

    this happened after i hard shutdown with some multiple programs running which froze everything after powering back up the blue folders showed up
    how do i safely remove these folders?
    i imported 3 sets of photos and in the background processes were running which froze everything then i forced shutdown by holding down the power button.

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

  • I did a force close on Safari and after rebooting my macbook pro, i no longer see the Safari icon on the dock.  How do i get i back?

    I did a force close on Safari and after rebooting my macbook pro, i no longer see the Safari icon on the dock.  How do i get i back?

    If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.

  • How do I get an iCloud icon onto the dock for my MacBook Pro?

    I assume the easiest way to access iCloud is by putting an icon onto my MacBook Pro DOCK.   Is this correct?  And if it is, how do I install the icon onto the Dock?

    There is no iCloud application, therefore no iCloud icon. Think of it as a 'service' that is accessible thru other applications, preferences and devices.
    If you use the iCloud web site a lot, you could add an icon to the web site.

    I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

    Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
    If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
    Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
    Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

  • Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit.  Now it just won't open.  When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens!  Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Somehow my application icon in the dock has disappeared and I have no idea where it went or how to get it back. I am not all that computer knowledgeable. Thanks for your help.

    Somehow my application icon in the dock has disappeared. I have no idea where it went but it contains all my applications that i use. How do I get the application icon to return  to the dock. Thanks for your help. I am not computer literate by any means. Thanks

    Goto your application folder, find your app then drag/drop it back to the dock.

  • Hiding icons in the Dock and 'Word for Mac'

    Hi, I'm new to macs and I'm struggling a little with some of the simpler tasks! I've put Word for Mac Student Edition on my Macbook but can you tell me how I can delete a word document once I've created it? I can't seem to find 'delete.' Also, can somebody help with hiding some of the icons in the dock. I've got loads and I know I won't use many of them.
    Thanks for your help!
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks for your quick reply! I don't have a right or left click on my Macbook just the mousepad and one bar that runs across the bottom of the pad, It makes no difference if I press the left or right hand side of it, it just keeps initialising the applications.
    I've tried dragging the document to the trash can but that won't work either! Should I be pressing a command key before hand?
    Sorry, I must have been more entrenched in windows-working than I thought....
