Automatically hide & show the Dock not working

The Dock keeps getting stuck. When I turn the computer on it works fine. But then after a while, the Dock doesn't automatically show when the cursor is at the foot of the screen. If I click at the foot of the screen the Dock appears.
Also, the magnification isn't working. It magnifies the app closest to where I click at the foot of the screen, but the Dock is then 'frozen' and moving the cursor left & right doesn't have any magnifying effect.
I tried turning off Automatically hide & show the Dock and get no magnification whatsoever.
I don't get any of these problems on my Intel'd MacBookPro - just my 2GHz Dual 3GB RAM Power Mac.

I have exactly the same problem on a G5 and a 20' dualcore, both running Leopard...and also when you drop down the menus from the finder bar the selection doesn't turn blue when you run the cursor over them...but this problem hasn't affected my G4 ibook yet...
I don't think Leopard is as stable yet as we would like it to be but i'm sure these little niggles will be sorted out in due time, Tiger was such a good stable OS and Leopard has a lot to live up too..!
It would be nice to get these things sorted sooner rather than later....!

After updating my iMac 27, the dock not work

alo staff.
after upgrading my iMac 27 (2009), and try to install the "absinthe" - and having to disable the security options of the gate-keeper. my dock crashed, hidden to touch the mouse, not being active this option and the desktop image appears all gray (only the bottom, the icons do not change).
I'm worried because it installed on my macbook pro is okay.

If the problem is in your device, we can't help with it, but it's in your computer. Open Finder, select Go with Option key and press Library. Then, go to Preferences and erase com.apple.dock.plist. Open Terminal and type killall Dock

X11 in the Dock not working - Bouncing X11 Dock icon and extra X11 icon

Some have mentioned this in other posts (GIMP related,) but I don't have GIMP.
I just wanted to keep X11 in my dock, and I just upgraded to Leopard, and this is an ANNOYING bug that prevents me from having X11 in the Dock.
Apple, please fix.

I primarily boot xterm from X11. I also have a couple of apps that my previous version of OS X (Tiger) had defined with ssh tunneling in the X11 Preferences.
Any clues how to do that now?

When the user press the button Calculate Tax (see attached doc) and click on Tax details then this should be updated automatically. But it does not work it is empty and the user has to update manually.

All setup looks fine.
Please let me know what can be done on this?

I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

Screen sharing - difficult to show the dock

I've had this problem in Mavericks and now again in Yosemite. When screen sharing with another computer whose dock "Automatically" hides and shows the dock, I have a very difficult time positioning the cursor so that a hidden dock will reveal itself. Sometimes an initial waking of the dock works normally but subsequent tries to bring up a hidden dock will take multiple tries, putting the cursor close to the bottom edge of the shared screen, moving the cursor along the bottom edge, etc. It's almost like you have to tickle the area where the dock will appear to get its attention. Sometimes I'll spend minutes trying to get the dock to appear. This happens on a local network so it's not like there is a network delay problem.
What's going on here?

I have this too. Very irritating. Especially when you are in full screen screen sharing, because when you hover the cursor at the bottom of the screen, the host dock pops up and obscures the dock in the screen sharing window.
Here is a workaround: Press cmd-option-d (d for DOCK).
This will show or hide the dock.
And because you are in screensharing, all shortcuts will be sent to the target system and not to your local machine.

Save as dialog box hides behind the dock

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite, the 'save as' dialog box will partly hide behind the dock. I can't see the 'save' nor the 'cancel' button.
Now I don't want the dock to auto hide, nor do I want to make it so small I can hardly see the icons, because when I do either of that I can of course see the buttons. I can therefore only cancel by pressing escape. Since that is not really efficient working for me, this minor issue annoys me to no end.
I use Word for Mac 2011 and have never had any issues with it before. This also only happens when creating Word documents in print mode view (changing the view makes the issue go away but when I go back to print mode view - which I have always used, the buttons are hidden behind the dock again!) I would appreciate any help ...

I have the same issue with Chrome, it's very annoying, especially since the "New Folder"-Button is hidden underneath the dock as well.
When placing the Dock on the left, the Dialog even disappears underneath the screen.

You can hold cmd-option D to toggle it show/hide. That's about the only trick I know of.

The Dock Not Going Back Down?

"The Dock" as Apple calls it (I'm a new Mac Guy barely switching from Windows).
Anyways... The Dock, where all the applications are on the bottom of my macbook remain there. they wont slide back down out of view. how can i change this? i've been searching and cant find the answer.
thanks!

You can also use the shortcut Apple has assigned to the "Automatically hide and show the Dock" command: ⌘⌥D (command or "Apple" key, option or alt key, then the letter D).
Hope this helps.

I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button

I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button .

Try connecting it to another PC, if it is ok, then your PC has some software conflict with iTunes.
If it hangs other PC also, then your iPod Hardisk, maybe bad.
Do the disk diagnosticas posted earlier by tt2, to check the health of your Hardisk.
Have a nice day!

How to Hide/show the columns data while doing Drill down or drill up

Hi ,
How to Hide/show the columns data while doing Drill down or drill up in webi report .
Does it possible BO 3.1 version ?
Please suggest me on this.
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

While that is not there yet, you can make use of the show when empty yes/no in combination with alerters.
So I have an alerter applied to every cell of the table.
When a condition is true (say I drilled down) I just put = "" in every cell, emptying the table,
because its now empty and doesn't need to show, it wont.
For the detail table I use the opposite, so when you drilled down it becomes visible...
Hope this helps all that do not have 40 yet
Good luck,
Marianne

My Aurora Automatically updated and now its not working at all.I cant uninstall it to install firefox.

I'm using the beta Aurora, and it was working fine until it automatically update. It's not working anymore. The short cut key in desktop changes and when you click it. it says"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". I cannot uninstall it to install a new firefox.

Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows: 
#Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 
#Right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Send To''', then '''Desktop (Create shortcut)''' 
Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.

You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Instead of creating a new ID, change the primary email address on your existing ID.

Click on the Apple symbol in the top left of the screen and select About this Mac. Click on More Info and scroll down to the USB entry under hardware. Does it list the 'Built in iSight' in the top right hand pane?
If it does, what happens when you run the Photo Booth application?
