App dock keeps disappearing

How do I keep it there permanently without constantly pressing the escape button - this is especially happening when in top sites on safari and the display goes full screen even though I don't believe I did anything to cause this. Thank you!

Hi hgbren,
If your Dock disappears when not in use - that is when you do not have your cursor over the area where it would be, you should check your Dock Preferences. Under the Apple menu > System Prefereces > Dock make sure that Automatically hide and show the Dock is not checked. See this article for reference -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will stay for a week or so, then all of a sudden they're gone. I checked the forums and everything that was suggested there, I did or un-did. But there's no point in having the tabs if they don't stay.

My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will be there for a week or so, then they just aren't there the next time I open the browser. My settings seem to be OK, i.e. no clearing of history, etc.
It's frustrating because then I have to go through the whole process of pinning everything as app tabs again.

Try the suggestion in this thread: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/840901 instead of the garbage above. You would think mozdevs who actually know a solution to this problem would post the solution in all the relevant threads.
If it doesnt work too, I'm ready to get rid of FF as my primary browser.
Why bother providing a feature thats buggy ?? I once wasted my time pinning 20 apps over and over again till I realized it was poorly written and unsupported.

Dock keeps disappearing

My dock disappears and I have to go to the Apple icon and turn dock hiding on and then turn if off again for it to reappear. When it disappears, it is not "hiding" as I cannot access it unless I turn hiding on and then off or access applications/dock through Finder. Can anyone offer any advice as to how to prevent this from happening?

Hello n:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Try trashing a preference file and restarting (com.apple.dock.plist).

Desktop screen keeps flashing black and dock has disappeared. iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1

Recently I updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. All was operating smoothly for a few weeks until one day i started up and logged in my dock was nowhere to be seen. The desktop screen started flashing black replacing my desktop image. None of my desktop icons disappear when this happens. screen keeps flashing black every few seconds. Also the dock has disappeared.
I have restarted in safe boot and it makes no changes.
iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1
Please help!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

I started the CC (PS & LR) for Mac in October. LR keeps disappearing from the CC Apps group and shows up as "Install" in the uninstalled apps section. How can I fix this?

I started the CC (PS & LR) for Mac in October. Twice now the LR shows as "Install" instead of being one of my installed apps. The first time I spent 3 hours on the phone with customer support. He finally recommended deleting the app from my applications and then installing again. This worked for awhile but now LR no longer shows up as one of my apps. LR is on my Mac though and I have been able to use it, although I'm not using all it's features. Any clue as to why LR keeps disappearing form my CC apps?

Thanks for the help Jeff - Restarting helped.
Jeff, my rant is not directed at you as an employee of ADOBE - your prompt feedback is appreciated and will aleviate some of the antagonism I feel against ADOBE because of the business unit's decisions with litlle regard of the user's buying and using the software.
Shareholder must understand that if they try and force the hand that feeds them too far, it will stop.
I love what the software engineers are doing with the software and appreciate the individuals whose job (ADOBE employees/help desk sub-contractors) it is to try and assist, but, ADOBE’s image is tarnished in my eyes by their new subscription policy they are forcing on end-users.
So many great technologies have been killed of or completely missed an oppertunity to evovle to greatness. (Director, Freehand, Flash, Flex, etc...)

Video mode on camera app keeps disappearing

Hi,
I'm owner of iPhone 5c and unfortunately I have experienced some issues with my camera app on iOS 7.0.3.
Basically video mode keeps disappearing and the only way to get it back,is to restart the device.
Anyone else experienced such issues?
Please let me know if this is bug or hardware issue?!
Thanks in advance

What user troubleshooting have you tried? The user steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, and if needed restore as a new device. You have tried restart, since that is what you do when you turn the device on and off. A reset is done by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Restores are done via iTunes. If you have to do the reset more than once, then I would suspect a software issue and I would try the restore. If after a restore as new, the camera still malfunctions, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple store to have the device looked at.

Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash. Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
Install new MAS app -
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

Why does Lightroom keep disappearing out of my installed apps list in Creative Cloud?

As the title says. It keeps disappearing. Its driving me nuts. Because it isn't listed in the app list, it doesn't update. It's happened numerous times now. Only downloading and reinstalling it makes it reappear...for a little while. Then its gone the next time I check

Dock icons STILL keep disappearing.

There is a thread here that says 'SOLVED' but it was not solved for many people posting on that thread. Here is the URL for it:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7855781&#7855781
So, I have begun this new thread with the same topic. My dock icon (mail) keeps disappearing. It slides to the right then disappears. Moving the plist dock and db to the trash then rebooting does not fix this problem for me, nor many others on the initial thread. The problem is not specific to the 'mail' icon, other icons are affected as well.
My mail icon is a big deal, please help.

I have three macs that I use every day. I am so annoyed that I can't make any changes to the Dock icons on any of them, and I am sure it has something to do with MobileMe. I have turned off syncing the Dock but it still won't let me make any changes. I have tried the methods people have mentioned in various threads but none of it works.
When I make a change to the Dock, I am doing it for a reason. For Apple to have implemented code that would under any circumstances undo the change that I have made is ridiculous. Everything else about Leopard is great, but this is really, really frustrating and messing up my work groove.

Why does my apps keep disappearing?

Hello, I have a iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1 and my apps keep disappearing while I download them, but, the 'Install' button still can work. Please help me! (Extra: It is jailbroken.

Have you setup restrictions in your System Preferences?
Some setting combinaitions could, for example, allow you to install apps but nor run them (since you have an age limit set up)?

Reminders app alert time keeps disappearing on iPhone 4s

I use my phone's Reminders app frequently and have started having problems with the "Remind me on a day" option. Today I noticed that whenever I set a time and date for a reminder alert, it disappears after a few moments, leaving just the text I entered but no alert time (ie, a reminder to start dinner at 5:00pm on Tuesday will show up properly on the reminders home screen for a few seconds, and then the alert time will disappear, leaving just "Start Dinner"). Since the alert times keep disappearing, none of my reminders actually work at the moment. I also have weekly reminders that I've used for over a year but starting today they now show up as "(null), weekly" underneath the original reminder text.
I exited the app, restarted my phone and then did a hard reset, but nothing has changed the way the app is behaving. Creating a reminder through Siri just gives me the same problem. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with my phone so I'm not sure why it's not working properly. Thanks for any help you can give!

Apple Reminders App (default iPhone app)

What part are you talking about setting up? The 2-step verification I mentioned for that email or the reminder list? The 2-step verification you need to set up before anything. It's just another way of protecting yourself from idiots. You'd get a code from your phone that helps you sign in on PC. But this stupid "Reminder" stuff is killing me. I had to do a total wipe of my phone and make it like a brand new phone again with nothing on it. And even after all that when I went to test a new reminder I'd put in...it did the same thing just shut itself off. Didn't say "null" tho just kept shutting itself off. I even made a new list not tied to my yahoo...did the same thing. So after all that I just went back in and restored my phone to the way I originally had it. I figured it wasn't anything on my phone and it had to be something with Apple itself and I wasn't going to spend hours just trying to remember what I had on here so that's why I just restored to the backup I had prior all this. I did call the guy I'm working with over at Apple and left a message that it didn't work again and I put phone back the way I had it. But I'm gonna try all this up on my PC to see if this works. Ugh this is just taking up my time and I've not yet heard back from the yahoo customer service guy I sent the pics too showing him these issues...typical. I just feel that with so many having this issue that they need to report it to Apple so they can fix it or at least look into it. They won't do much just because I say there's so many others. I think I'm gonna try to copy that list from my yahoo and sync it with iCloud and see if that works and if it does then it was yahoo all along. Besides when I make that list with iCloud it won't be lost or anything ya know. Just seems like I'm having too many problems with yahoo stuff. I do have a gmail but don't use it like yahoo because they spy on you and share things etc. but outlook is synced to Apple so might be worth a shot to start using them. I do t know anymore I'm at a lost

My apps keep disappearing from my new iphone 5s. But I have a gift card with money. Why is this happening

I have the new iphone 5s and my apps keep disappearing why. I have money on a Visa card that I'm using so why is this happening

That purchased additional storage in your iCloud account. Call the Apple online store for a refund if you don't need it (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada).
The app store says that particular app is 296MB, which is large, but if you have 15GB available you have more than enough. Make sure you are getting the available storage number from here:
If you are, try force closing the App store app by double-tapping the home button, locating the App store in the list, swiping up on the image above the icon to close it, then tapping the home button again. Then lauch the app store and try purchaing the app again.
