Can't stop the dock icon bouncing when there is an "alert" from Thunderbird

I posted this question on the MozillaZine forum, but no-one there answered so I thought I'd try here.
I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 for my email. Is there a way to stop the dock icon bouncing when there is an "alert"? These happen relatively frequently in connection with my Yahoo account, and every time the icon bounces until I go to Thunderbird and click "ok" on the alert box. This is slowly driving me nuts. I have disabled the "animate dock icon" setting for new mail, and for my whole system when programs start or open, but it hasn't had any effect on the behaviour of the icon with regards to alerts.
Thanks.

Sorry, I am not trying to be difficult. I'm just lost.
Hey, no problem, really... we're here trying to help & just need to find out what is needed to help!
You really should right click on the whole Thubderbird folder and Archive it first, so we can go back if need be.
Then, it appears that if you just recreate the account, with the name, email, server, and smtp, then everything comes back for that account... at least for global accounts.
If you wish to hold off on this then just move the original .js back and start T-Bird again, then I can search for a way to edit the existing .js file, because for some reason, when you change your prefs back, it's not changing that file like it should.

Why does the iTunes dock icon bounce when quitting the app?

ITunes 11.1.2 on Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Every time I shut down iTunes, the dock icon bounces. This never happens with any other application. Dock icons are supposed to bounce when you start up an app, not when you quit it, Right?
Thanks.

Hello there, ocsimple.
The following Knowledge Base article clarifies what it means when an icon bounces on your dock:
About the Dock (Mac OS X)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1779
Particularly:
Bouncing icon in the Dock
An application's icon may bounce in the Dock to request your attention.
When you close iTunes, is it prompting you with a window or some other message when you click the bouncing icon?
Cheers,
Pedro.

Is there anyway to make the dock icon bounce on Mac OS X via a javascript event inside a web page?

I'm creating a task management web app, that will be kept open in a tab, and used only when needed to update a your status, an I would like to bounce the icon when new task is assign to the user or other event regarding him occurs.
It would be also nice if I could some how let my application know if Firefox is currently in foreground so I could turn off the bounce of the icon.
And for it to be complete, it would be nice for my app to somehow let the user know that there was an activity it the tab ( to change somehow to color of the tab or use some sort of badge )
Of course, the dock bouncing or the change of the tab state should not take the focus of the users current application or move the focus from one tab to the tab of my web app.
P.S.
I know that I could do an alert() but this option is way to intrusive ( it probably does bounce the icon, but when in browser it takes the focus to my app tab and I hate that )
Thanks in advance

Well ok, and what about some other methods?
I need to get the user's attention.
For Windows 7 I can use toFront() method.
For Mac I need this library, right?!
I think a feature request for something like javafx.application.Application#requestUserAttention() would be fine, no?
And I think stage.getIcons().add("icon") should also set the dock icon for Mac.

Does Mail display # of new messages in the dock icon even when app is off?

I'm not sure if it does or not. I like how the new iCal icon in the dock displays the date even when the app isn't open.
I'd love if Mail would display the # of new messages in the dock icon without having to leave the application open all the time.
Otherwise, I just have to stick with Gmail Notifier.
Thanks for any insight!
- Jeff

you would have to leave the application opened.
hope this helps

How to stop the posting of documents when there is an error in record

Hi,
I have one issue with respect to posting of documents.
In my Exl sheet there are 1900 records which would split into 950 records during run time.
For each 950 records a document to be created. Here the issue, during test run thers is no error where all the validations are done and records in xl sheet are correct.
However when posting, i am submitting to to standard program rfbibl01, where it is creating the session and output of the program is not showing any errors - report.
During execution of session, it is creating document for 1 set of 950 records and for 2 set it is finding some error and not creating any document.
Now my requirment is as follows: since there is an error in second set, i don't want to post any record starting from the begining. No document should be created.
In my program once i have submitted to standard document i don't have any control over the progam in stopping the creation of session or document creation.
Any solutions are most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Harikrishna

How can I play the current slide only when there is an audio recording?

Hi,
I have a 10 slide presentation where I am recording audio one slide at a time. If I have the current slide selected and click play, Keynote plays from the beginning of the presentation.
Is there a way to have Keynote playback only the slide selected when audio is recorded?
Thanks,
humbucker

Thanks! That really helped. Why does the audio recording cause so many issues when it's done using Keynote?
humbucker,
I don't really have an answer for that. It usually boils down to complications when all combinations of possible uses are considered. One scenario may seem a no-brainer taken by itself, but not when other options are in play.
I was responding to your specific question about Quicktime recording. You could also use Garage Band, Audacity and the like, of course. Quicktime is just so much easier than any other option that I'm aware of for making short, simple, recordings.

Can I stop the Finder icons from changing size while I use the Trackpad?

Very frustrating:
Often when I touch my trackpad and I'm in finder the icons/folders get very small! Have to go back to "Finder" then "View" amd "show view options" to reset them to 48x48.
Is there a way to lock the change of their sizes (but still use the trackpad for touch sensitive stuff)?

System Preferences>Trackpad. Uncheck Pinch to Open and Close.

How can I increase the event font size when printing a weekly listing from Lightning?

I find a printed weekly calendar very useful in my life. I used to use the Sunbird calendar program with the FG Print extension to increase the font size to something more appropriate for my aged eyes. Is there a way to do this with Lightning? I'm running Thunderbird 24.2.0 on Linux Mint 13, if that matters.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using the print formatted page for printing? You can pop that up from the '''...''' menu that appears above the item. (Screen shot example attached.)
If that page still is too small:
* Is Firefox using the full area of the page? If Firefox is only using part of it, this could be related to a problem reading the correct "paper size" from your printer driver. More tips on that if needed.
* If Firefox is using the full page it might be shrinking the content to make space horizontally. In a window where you can access the menu bar, check File>Page Setup or orange Firefox button>Print>Page Setup to make sure the scaling is not set too small or, if necessary, turn off Shrink to Fit.

Dock icon bounces for no reason (seemingly)

I have my iChat set up so that the dock icon bounces when someone logs in, but occasionally (somewhat often) is does one bounce seemingly for no reason. I've left the window visible so I can see if it's someone logging in and out really, really quick, but it's not that.
Any ideas?

It also bounes if the chat window is not the front one and there is more sent by your Buddy (or Buddies in a chatroom/group chat).
It does not bounce if your Buddy changes their Status Message.
It will bounce if the Buddy list has lost the sort order and the new person coming on line is out of sight on a long list (Or in a closed off group tab)

Stop Icon Bouncing When Mail is Viewed

I have a rule set to get the Mail icon bouncing when I get new mail. Is there a way to get the bouncing to automatically stop once I've viewed the new message, or even once I've clicked on the mail window?
If there's not an automatic way to do it, is there a key stoke I can use to get it to stop bouncing without having to move the mouse over and click on it?
Thanks in advance for the help.

There is no keyboard short cut for this one apparently.

PSE remains active in background after exit. How can I stop the program completely?

PSE remains active in background after exit. How can I stop the program completely?
Is there any command line option to force PSE to stop completely after exiting the GUI?
Opening the Windows Task Manager and killing the PSE process is not a solution!
(Context: I want to start PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe from another program with an image filename as command line argument. This other program waits in background until PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe has finished and pops up again after that. Since PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe continues to run silently in background, the other program will never come back.)

Hi - having the same problem with PSE process not ending on exit. Have you had any luck in resolving the issue?
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA

How can I stop the...(icons?)..and .firefox ball from bouncing all around the Start Page?? It's VERY ANNOYING. frustrated dino

How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

Thank you Linc. I knew that I did something in system preferences to cause it to bounce, but couldn't remember what I did. I appreciate your help! Kelly
