Custom icon lost from dock when clicked.

Hello.
I'm currently running OS 10.6.1 on 15" MBP w/ 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I experienced this same issue in Leopard, but was hoping Snow Leopard would fix it. I thought it did, but it just happened again.
I keep several documents in the dock that I use very frequently (three MS Excel workbooks, 1 FM Pro database). For some reason, when I click on any of the Excel docs, the custom icon I have assigned to it is lost. Even when I reveal in Finder, the icon has just been removed, and the standard Excel icon shows.
The funny thing is that the custom icons, when replaced, seem to last for several clicks, then for some reason, they just go away when the doc is clicked.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any help would be awesome.

Hi eye sean,
The program icons on your Dock (App Store, System Preferences) are alias links (shortcuts) and not the programs themselves. You can't delete them by removing them from the Dock. Now, if somehow they were accidentally removed from the /Applications folder then that's a bigger issue. I take it neither of the programs or in that folder?
If that's the case there's two things I'm aware of worth trying:
Run a repair Disk Permissions from the installation disc that came with your computer
Reinstall the Operating System via the installation disc
If System Preferences (the application) is completely gone, then it's option #2. If it's corrupted the disk permissions may resolved it. I'd say you could make a new user to see if a preference pane that's specific to your current user is causing problems, but without System Preferences access that's not really a valid option.

Printer icon not in dock when printing

Since upgrading to Moutain Lion my printer icon had disappeared from the dock during printing. Previously it would show in dock when I was printing, Now nothing. Still able to print without issue and can see queue by going into System preferences. Do not see a place to make it appea again? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

I should have mentioned that I already tried removing then adding the printer with no success. I see the printer under system preferences and it is printing normally. Just have no icon appearing in dock when in process of actually printing a page. So since I attach to it wirelessly, I am always concerned it is not printing when I want to. So it means I have to open up System preferences>Printer Queue to make sure it is printing. Would love to get the automatic icon in the dock back in place

If you mean that it bounces while in the Dock, it means that the application is launching. If that's not what you mean, please post back and describe your situation/question further.

Custom icons not showing up when I drag a folder into the dock

I have a dock in 10.6 (on the left side, going vertical, if that matters). I've dragged a few folders into it, each containing Aliases to various programs. I've set custom icons on these folders, so I can tell at a glance what's in each folder (since it won't fan out for a vertical dock). But even after I rebooted, the dock isn't showing my custom icons but rather kind of an overlay of the various icons in each folder. What am I doing wrong?

Show Custom Icon in a Dock Stack, Grid View?

Hi, I have a folder with lots of pdfs placed in my dock as a stack. Is there any way to tell the Dock to show my custom icons, when present, or the default preview snapshot as it does now?
When I click on my folder in the dock, I have it set to show as a grid. When the contents are shown, the finder generated document preview icons are shown. For some documents, I have created custom icons for quick visual identification. When I view the document in a finder folder window, the custom icon shows, as expected, but not when I view the folder contents in a dock stack.
Thanks

I have placed a network drive in the dock to act as a stack so that I quick click of that icon will mount the drive, and then the icon acts as a stack. This network drive has a custom icon. When I have the stack set to "display as stack", I get the stack icon in the dock. When I then change to "Display as folder", the custom icon appears in the dock in place of the stack icon UNTIL I click on the icon to display its contents. When I click again, the icon reverts to the generic network drive icon. I'd like the custom icon to remain in the dock. Any thoughts?

Firefox won't load from dock when another web site is loaded

Printer Icon not in dock when printing - cannot access queue

Suddenly no printer icon is in the dock when printing.
In case of an error, I cannot access the problem.
I cannot access the queue.
What's more: the printer just printed an image - but not the image that I commanded to print.
It was the image that I printed a week ago - he just printed it again.
I cannot find the printer utility in "scan and print".
How can I make the printer utility appear?

Problem solved.
Suddenly the button "printer cue" was there - which was absent until now.
I dragged the print queue window to the dock, and to make sure it stays there I added it through "keep in dock" to the dock.
There was no option to remove this thread.

Desktop Icon gone from Dock, How do I get it back?

I accidentally removed my "view desktop" icon from the dock. I can't seem to find where/how I can replace the view desktop icon back into my dock. Please help. Thanks.

If you mean the Dashboard icon. It would be in your Applications folder, just drag it to the Dock. Is this the one you're talking about? Because the Finder icon can't be accidentally removed from the Dock and there is no "Desktop" icon on your Dock.
There is a Desktop on the Sidebar of your Finder window and you could accidentally delete that. If that's the case go to your Home folder and drag it back to the Sidebar. Or go to Finder menu >> Preferences >> Sidebar and check mark it.

I just noticed you can't right click icons in the dock when in Mission Control. I think this would be useful for turning off other apps easilt from full screen mode.

Would anyone else find this useful?

For me no. I think it's just as much or more effort as cmd-tab (or swipe) to the open app and then cmd-q to close it.

Keynote and pages icons disappear from dock

Although I tried to fix the icons for Pages and Keynote to the dock by dragging the apps from the application folder to the dock, everytime I restart the computer, the two icons have disappeared. I did repair disk permissions, but it still happpens!
Anyone who's got a clue?
Thanks in advance!
Frank

Hello bdy:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The most probable reason is that you accidentally dragged the icon out of the dock. I have done this myself when I "opened" a program and dragged the pointer from the dock instead.

Icon still in dock when print job has finished

I am printing successfully to a Brother HL2700 Color Laser over a network. Can do this with Bonjour and also IP Printing. When my print job finishes the generic printer icon stays in the dock with the active triangle underneath it. This is not mission critical, but it is VERY annoying! I didn't need to install any drivers from the Brother site as the printer was automatically added. Could this be a driver issue?
Any ideas on a fix - short of resetting the print setup. I'm not sure this would resolve it, and I don't want to lose the other correctly configured printers - all of which demonstrate the same behaviour.
My MacBook Pro is brand new and has demonstrated this from the day the printers were first added.
Similar reports from Googling the net (some frome way back in 10.3), but couldn't find a fix or an explanation.
Thanks for any input...

Edits lost in JTable when click on a Tab

Apologies if there is an obvious answer to this question, I'm relatively+ new to Java Swing.
I have a JTable with a custom Editor on Tab 1, and another data entry screen on Tab 2.
On Tab 1, if the user changes the data in the JTable and clicks on Tab 2, they get a dialog "Do you want to save your changes - Yes, No, Cancel?".
If they edit a field, make a change and leave the field, it works fine. However, if the user enters the field, and presses Tab 2 immediately, the changes are lost (even if they choose to save).
The Form saves screen based changes to the underlying object via a setValueAt() in the JTable model. But if the user doesn't leave the edit - the setValueAt() does not fire, and the changes are therefore lost.
I've found (and tried) including the terminateEditOnFocusLost option on the JTable to no effect.
What I "*think*" needs to happen is:
On clicking the Tab. The edit is terminated, forcing the setValueAt() processing and editor based validation. As and when they complete, the "Do you want to save..?" processing kicks in if needed.
I've spent some time looking for an answer so I don't patronise the community with stupid questions - but I can't find one. Would be really grateful if there's a simple solution. Only alternative I have is the "Editor" triggers the update to the background object - something I'd prefer to avoid.

I have a JTable with a custom Editor on Tab 1, and another data entry screen on Tab 2.
I've found (and tried) including the terminateEditOnFocusLost option on the JTable to no effect. Well, when you refer to a "Tab" I assume you mean a tabbed pane. I also assume that you have added to to the ChangeListener for the tabbed pane to do the above processing.
I think the problem is one of timing. The code in the ChangeListener is executing before the "lostFocus" event of the table and as a result the TableModel has not been updated with the new value.
So, try wrapping the code in your ChangeListener into a SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...) block. This should cause your code to be executed after the "focusLost" event is processed.
"Do you want to save your changes - Yes, No, Cancel?".How do you know the data has changed?
Do you use a TableModelListener to set a "data changed" switch. If so, then the above approach may not work as the "table model changed" event may still not execute before your ChangeListener.
Do you use a custom TableModel and override the setValueAt(...) method to track changes? If so, then the above suggestion should work.
I've spent some time looking for an answer...Then you should know that we always recommend posting a SSCCE so we don't have to guess exactly what you are doing.
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)", that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
