Applications not minimizing to their respective icons?

In System Preferences, I have enabled minimization to dock icons. However, my applications refuse to minimize down, the only one that still does being Finder.
How do I re-enable minimization in Lion?

This is happening to me, too: certain applications (e.g., Outlook) still function normally, with all windows minimizing into the icon in the doc. Others (e.g., BlackBerry Desktop, Spotify) no longer minimize into the icon; rather, windows now appear as an icon next to the trash can.
I confirmed that the check box within System Preferences ("Minimize windows into application icon") is still checked; I have not changed any settings recently on my Mac. This has been occurring only of late (I noticed it yesterday); prior to that, everything worked correctly.
Perhaps, it's an artifact from an OS update? I'm not sure, but I don't like it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
After spending an hour trying a number of different solutions, I restarted my computer, which solved the problem. Thank goodness!

All windows/applications keep minimizing on their own Windows 8.1

Hi. I turned on my laptop today and suddenly found that all my applications (Chrome, Skype, Norton, etc.) keep minimizing on their own approximately every 1-2 minutes. The mouse is constantly doing this twitch thing (it flickers every second and the little
loading circle comes up). It doesn't seem to be affected by typing, it occurs with and without keyboard/mouse interaction. I've installed nothing new that I'm aware about since last night, when this problem did not exist. I've manually turned off and turned
my laptop back on, I've restarted it, I tried to run a scan but Norton is being a pain (am currently running a quick scan). Usually whenever my computer is acting up (unusually slow), I just restart it and it's fine. But I've tried to restart/turn off and
on three times now and I can't find a fix.
This is on Windows 8.1 (please no Windows 7 exclusive answers. They're all I can find). I have not recently updated to Windows 8.1. I updated a few weeks ago (it was a forced update).
And I don't think I have ioBit.
Update: This thing called whiteskyservices (http://services.whiteskyservices.com/addons/chrome/install.aspx?id=eeihfhnbnfemlajfadhbpdfiipncebl) popped up asking for a Constant Guard update (I never update Constant Guard, it's horrible). I x'ed out and the
mouse flashing I mentioned has stopped, but the random minimizing has not.
Update: I tried to disable Superfetch, that didn't work either.
Update: Sometimes, it minimizes and then returns back to the window.
Update: My mouse has erratically begun doing the flickering thing again.

Hi itzarah,
I can’t open and test the link you provide, please check. Share us a screenshot if you willing to.
Please explain a bit about the following questions to avoid misunderstanding:
1. Do you mean that the Windows 8 automatically upgrade to Windows 8.1 a few weeks ago?
2. Is this computer domain-based?
3. Does everything minimize on their own? Windows explorer, desktop apps and metro apps?
4. What is the result about the Norton scan?
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. As this is a laptop, please check if the mouse flickering caused by the touchpad. Please update the touchpad driver to the last version from the manufacturer website and check if this issue still exists.
2. Unplug the mouse and check if this issue still exists
3. Run the Anti-virus software to scan malware.
Best regards,

Replace paragraph with their respective icons

Is there a way to change different paragraph heads with their respective images (which they all differ for each of these paragraphs) at the same time.
Is there a plug-in or script that can automatically do this change?

It is around line 1052.

Drag the newer iTunes icon from the Applications folder to the Dock and remove (control key / Options) the older version.

Intermittently applications won't minimize into their dock icons..

I noticed since my upgrade to moutain lion after i open my laptop back up from sleep it will randomly stop minimizing my applications into their dock icons. anyone else expeirencing this and is there a solution?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences folder, delete com.apple.dock.plist, open Terminal and type:
killall Dock

Mouse over dock icon no longer indicates "application not responding"

A very convenient feature seems to be missing from Snow Leopard. In prior versions, if an application was not responding, holding the cursor over its dock icon would display "[Application] Not Responding" and also an option to Force Quit. This status message does not appear in Snow Leopard.
Are we to assume that if we click and hold on a dock icon and "Force Quit" is presented as an option, that the application has stopped responding?
Suggestions?

Thanks!
So if I click and hold a dock icon and "Force Quit" is shown instead of "Quit" would that indicate that the particular application is in the midst of some process and simply unable to respond?
Should I simply allow more time for the app to finish whatever it's doing?
it could be either. sometimes an application is busy and is showing as not responding but will come out of it after a while. but sometimes it's truly hanging and then you have to force quit it to get rid of it. there is no way to tell just by looking at the dock. give it a bit of time and if it's still not responding then force quit. but if it's happening all the time then you may have problems with your system.
In particular, here, I've launched DiskWarrior 4.2 on a Mini (via Screen Sharing from my Mac Pro) in an attempt to rebuild directory on a My Book 1TB external drive connected by FireWire, which Disk Utility indicates needs repair but DU cannot repair. Ideas?
so what does disk warrior say when you try to rebuild the directory? and you should also verify the internal drive on the mini too.

I just downloaded about 200 TV ep. that were in the cloud on to my IMac, however the episodes will not sort themselves in to their respective shows ands seasons (i.e. all stargate episodes are listed as indivd. shows)How can I get them together as one?

All my shows are listed as individual shows and they will not regroup in to their respective seasons, can anyone help with this issue? they were all loaded from the icloud.

Dock Icons will not stay in their place (CPU?)

I have been having an issue with random dock icons not staying in their place. I move an icon to a place that makes it arranged correctly in terms of grouping or importance and it "slides" back to it's original place almost immediately. Or I will move one and start arranging and all of a sudden one will slide to the right side or something.
I finally got a chance to troubleshoot this and did a google search.
I have for a very long time had DOCK SYNC TURNED OFF.
Now I have gotten into the MBP and LOGGED OUT of my MobileMe account and it STILL does this. It has been happening since I bought the computer new. I have other issues related to battery life and beachballs and hot computer or hot power charger of loud fan so I put another 4 GIGS in the machine recently so that it now has 8.
Mac phone support says they want to walk me through checking the CPU but I have done this routine like three times on this computer where I set up a User Account and I have done a FRESH INSTALL twice since I bought it. Last week I finally caught a break in the schedule to bring it in and they say the Hardware is fine.
I mean, it is odd but I don't consider this machine to be what I would consider a "pro" line but at the same time I see that this dock thing is happening on my MacPro (albeit while I am still logged into my MobileMe account).
Thoughts or suggestions? I don't want to take the time to bring it in if I don't have to.

yup. bizarre. logged out of MobileMe and I try to move the Keychain Icon from the third on the left to the last on the right and -whoooo-oop - it slides back to the left. no fun. like having a gremlin moving books around in my library or something...

Mail will not stop loading, twirling rainbow icon will not stop, cannot close mail application then.

Just downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and on my Mac Book Pro (mid 2009). When I select the mail application this problem occurs: the rainbow icon that twirls will not stop, and then I cannot close the mail program at all. No clue what to do next, thanks for the help or ideas. SanibelMan 09/09/2012 @ 2am EST.

Click on the apple in the top left corner of the computer. If it doesn't let you, open another application such as finder, and then click it, then go down the force quit, then click mail and then press force quit.

I can't launch Safari. When I right click on the icon, the "Application not responding" is grey and no matter what method I use to Force quit, I get no response.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

We had a power surge the other day and ever since, my bookmarks in Safari do not display their respective logos, i.e., New York Times logo rather than the generic blue circle. How can I restore them?

One way to add Facicons back is to visit those sites again.
It is time consuming if you really want to have all those back.

Can't Open 3rd party Apps with my User (Icon Bouncing then Application Not Responding)

Yes, as long as you let TM do a full disc backup (that is, you do not exclude anything in the TM backup settings) you will have a backup that allows a full system restore - puts everything back just as it was.
You can also clone your system using the shareware app SuperDuper or the donation-ware app CarbonCopyCloner
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
http://www.bombich.com/
Both of these apps will make a true clone (literally, a bit-by-bit copy) of your hard drive onto an external drive. This clone will actually be bootable itself (you plug in the drive and hold the option key during startup then select the clone to boot from). You would boot from the clone, then reverse-clone it back onto your internal hard drive.
If you are really serious about being highly confident of not loosing files, you could use both - I keep a TM backup on one drive, and 2 clones on separate bus-powered hard drives.
P.S. even if you had not had any issues, you really, REALLY should be keeping regular, up to date backups anyway - things go flooey without warning sometimes and you risk loosing everything on your machine if you DON'T keep regular backup copies available.

"Application Not Found" CS4 installation error

Problem: "Application Not Found" CS4 installation error
Some Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Production Premium distribution disks issue an "Application not found" error while loading Disk 2 due to an error in the Autorun.inf file.
Does your Autorun.inf for Disk 2, 3, or 4 contain
[autorun]
open=Autoplay.exe -auto
icon=\csppdvd.ico
Autorun.inf should instead only say
[autorun]
icon=\csppdvd.ico
There should not be the line
open=Autoplay.exe auto
Only Disk 1 should have this line.
On Disk 1, Adobe has a file called Autoplay.exe which starts the installation.
"open=Autoplay.exe auto" runs the Autoplay application.
Autoplay.exe is not on Disk 2, 3, or 4 so having the open line generates the error.
Since you cannot edit the DVD, the trick is to turn off autorun so Windows doesn't run Autorun.inf upon loading Disk 2. Look at the Wikipedia description of "Autorun" for details. Wikipedia describes how to disable Autorun using
Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc
You will need to do this for XP. Vista has a Control Panel which allows you to "Take no action" for "Software and games". If this does not work, use gpedit.msc instead. You will know Autorun is off if upon inserting Disk 1, no installation window appears.
Wikipedia notes that "AutoPlay is the name of a different feature in Microsoft Windows" not to be confused with Autorun starting the Autorun.inf file.
Now that Autorun is off, manually double click Autoplay.exe on Disk 1 to start the installation. Disk 2 should now load properly.
By the way, it appears you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Some Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Production Premium distribution disks had the same problem. Obviously, Adobe did not learn from their past mistake.
You may want to call Adobe to obtain replacement disks which don't have this error.

Petrula,
Can you look at the DVDs and send me the numbers you find on the inner edge? Also, any numbers on the outer DVD sleeves. This can help us to identify which sets of media are affected and possibly resolve it, or at least more specifically target solution information.
Thank you!

Mp4 files have lost their quicktime icons!!

just noticed this and not sure when it happened
all my .mp4 files on all hard drives connected to my 10.4.9 G5 have lost their quicktime icons. they all open in quicktime just fine, but they do not automatically have the proper quicktime icons anymore. .mov files still have their icons
it's not an operational problem but I'd still like to solve it
only thing I can think of is that I upgraded my quicktime and itunes to the latest versions within the past couple of days.
I've repaired permissions and rebooted to no avail
has anyone seen this and know how to fix it?

Hi David,
Get Info on one of the affected files with the blank icon. Click on the icon in the Get Info window and press the Delete key. (not the Backspace key)
Provided that the default application to open .mp4 files is QuickTime player, the icon should change to the standard QT icon.
If this works, change all files of that type to open with the QuickTime Player by default. (unfortunately I'm at work, on a PC, and can't give you the button detail verbatim - working from memory now) That should reassociate the QT player with all .mp4 files, and thus assign the correct icon.
Hope this helps,
Steve

ADF - Bring the same information in their respective components on another

Jdeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.2.0 Release 1
Would like to know how do I send the same information to another page in their respective components.
Example: I have a page with three text input and a select choice one which has many values, which registers and wide data in a grid, this grid I hold a button to update information where the action is directed to the page refreshes data. So I created a sql query VO by linking these data.
Anyway I am not able to bring this data to the page that updates the data in pricipalmente get exactly the value of choice to select one when you click update it would bring me the information on another page that signed up ... In short bring the same information for another page to edit.
Anyone have any ideas?

VO will explain in more detail
I have two pages and the other one is updateDataBank registerDataBank.
registerDataBank has three fields with one inputText and a select choice of having the data banks. This page is okay, is recording the information in the database. It also has the attributes tab bindings and iterator
consultDataBank - is a query page where it shows all the records that were registered registerDataBank page. In this grid insert a button that updates data in each row. This button when clicked the page is redirected to updateDataBank.
updateDataBank - has the same components as the registerDataBank, this page is inserted to bring the po data. also possess the attributes being appointed to the same thing as the iterator insert on page registerDataBank
The big question is who would like updates when clicked the button that he return the exact data that line and the information that is in the right combo. Would have any examples of a similar application?
