Dock dissapear, Exposse, Spaces not work

Dock is dissapear, Exposse and Spaces not work, i had repaired permissions from disk utillity but all is de the same, restart and all is not working, command + tab either work, and if a try to minimizar a window nothings happend

I am experiencing this same problem. I have been fine for a few weeks after my Leopard update, but then all of a sudden today I could not find my dock. I wasn't able to get it back at all, so I tried to shut down. It would not shut down so I had to do a hard shut down by holding in the power button. When it rebooted, the dock was still non-existent. I did some googling and learned it might be a corrupt preference. I then deleted the preferences, and immediately a dock (the original default installed) came up. It seemed ok for about 30 seconds, then it quit, and keeps flashing, reappearing, poking out. I deleted the preferences again, same result.
I ran disk utility. It found some permissions problems and "repaired" them. Now the activity monitor shows that my dock is starting and quitting, as stated above, and I can't see it at all. It's gone.
I am pretty upset about this, I rely on the dock heavily for my drag and drop applications in CS3.
Any solutions to this yet?

    Flexible Space not working, with firefox v1.5 pictured here..
    http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6527/firefoxv15skin.png
    You see i have a big space FF icons and google search, by adding one flexible space. I cannot seem to get this to do the same with firefox v3. Will have to add x10's or more of flexible spaces to be the same. Have tried to resize the flexible space with v3 noting to grab to resize.
    Anyone know of a sollution how to do this, to be like that in the picture (url link above) ?

    Actually it doesn't really matter if you'd come back, or not. It's just that you've wasted everyone else's time. Here's a couple of links, when downgrading and/or installing a different/two version/s:

  • PS CS6 Smartobject - Changing color space not working

    If I initially open a smartobject from ACR into PS CS6 using one color space, eg. sRGB, should it then be possible to click back into ACR and change color space to Adobe RGB ???
    This is important to me, since working most of the time in sRGB, batch editing lot's of files (for timelapse-video, hence sRGB), but sometimes it may be nessecary to go back and use Adobe RGB to make a best possible print of one of the stills.
    This is not working for me. I thought I should be able to do absolutely non-destructive editing when working with smartobjects from ACR, but this may seem to not be the case.
    Ole

    I understand now that a copy of the original RAW file is made when working with SO.
    Still, when checking what color space I am working in (in PS CS6), after changing from sRGB to aRGB, PS still tells me I am working in sRGB!!
    So what I am asking, going back from a SO in PS, into ACR, to change the color space, does not work.
    Is there a workaround for this?
    Or is it something I still do not understand here?

  • Spaces not working with Mice

    For some reason, I can no longer active Spaces with my mice. It says it's on, but for some reason when I try to assign a button my mouse doesn't respond at all. I can only active it with a manual keyboard key such as F17.
    Any ideas, why it's not working with both of my mice?

    I am having the same issue.
    I have website for my 7th Grade class. Over the weekend, I updated to iWeb'09. Today, when my students (using IE7 tried to access the site, I noticed loading pages takes much longer and the tech guy tells me that IE doesn't work with Mobile.Me.

    Are there really issues with IE and Mobile.Me servers?

  • IPad 1 dock connector seems to not work

    Hello everybody.
    Yesterday, when I tried to recharge my iPad battery, I noticed that the device did not become aware of the fact it was connect to AC.
    I used the original dock-to-usb cable connected to the original usb-to-plug adapter.
    Ok, don't panic. I tried to connect my iPad to my PC. Same thing: the PC did not recognise the device and the device did not recognise the PC.
    I tried turning the device into DFU mode: nothing.
    Ok ok. In the meanwhile, the battery went to zero percent and the iPad turned off. I tried connecting the device to AC and, magically, the battery was charging! The device was in charging mode: black screen and red battery with the power sign below.
    As soon as the device switched from charging mode to operative mode, the iPad stopped recognising the power.
    I'm depressed. I think it's a software issue. I tried resetting my iPad using the proper function in the settings menu but it did not work.
    I cannot restore it thru iTunes because the PC do not recognise the device.
    What should I do?
    PS: The device mounts the original latest firmware and it's out of warranty. My PC runs Windows 7 x64.

    I suspect it's a software issue because the problem only happens when the device is in the "operative" mode.
    The charging thing works fine when the device is in "charging-only" mode.
    However I'll take the device to an Apple retail shop.
    How does the assistance work? Do they take 250 bucks for any kind of issue?

  • Shift Cmd 4 + Space not working

    Hi,
    I used to be able to take a screenshot of the active window by pressing Shift Cmd 4 and then space and click, but I dont know why it's not running anymore.
    Whenever I click Shift Cmd 4 and then space, the grey area covers the whole screen and when I click, it'll take screenshot of nothing. When I open the .PNG it'll be white-blank image.
    I'm using Tiger and never modified setting preference on this, so I have no idea how it happened.
    Can anyone here please help me to fix it?
    Thanks

    Madok: you can also move your mouse around to take screenshot of your dock, task bar, etc and it doesn't have to be the most front window. After you hit space bar, you can roll your mouse around other windows and just click it.
    Check out System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse - > Keyboard shortcuts to see other shortcuts, though they're not 100% complete (I also read little tricks from website / magazine)
    Macjack: It works!!! Thanks so much

  • Dock/Finder/Control+Tab not working

    I'm running 10.5.2 and have been ever since it came out.
    MacBook Pro has been working fine. Never had a problem.
    Then today I restart (I usually just log out) and now I can't access my Dock, I can't command tab between apps and I can't access the Applications and users folder.
    I can open the Utilities folder or the Library folder or the System folder but not the Applications folder (it relaunches the Finder) and not the user folder (same thing).
    I didn't install anything yesterday. I erased with the Terminal the com.apple.finder.plist and restarted but that didn't do it. I'm still searching here on these forums but haven't found anything yet.
    Anyone would know what's going on ?
    I got Quicksilver and it's working... All apps will work fine once launched.
    Edit: I just ran Tech Tool Deluxe and it didn't find anything. All tests passed.
    Message was edited by: Paul Boutin

    I deleted com.apple.dock.db & com.apple.dock.plist & restarted.
    That didn't do the trick. Now my dock is blinking every 5 seconds. It appears and dissapears.
    I also emptied my download folder in case it was something with a large jpg file in there. But that didn't fix it either.
    I also tried the sudo killall dock but the terminal didn't accept the command.
    So I still have the same problem but with a blinking dock.
    I've never seen this on all 30 macs I take care of
    EDIT: After more searching here (Page 40 of this discussion) I read that puting the computer to sleep and then turning it back on would fix it. And YES it did. How crazy is that ?
    Now I can Command Tab, my dock works and I can open the Aps and users folder.
    WHAT kind of bug is that ????
    Crazy!!!

  • Spaces not working, please help!

    I used to use spaces on my old Mac Pro. Now I have a new one and Spaces isn't working properly.
    Very simply I assign Finder to space 1. Then assign InDesign to space 2.
    How it used to work is I navigate to a file in Finder in space 1, double click it and it would move over to space 2 and open the file in InDesign.
    But now, although InDesign is set to space 2 it opens in space 1.
    The only way I can fix it is to open a file within InDesign (file>open rather than using Finder) then when I open another one in Finder it moves over to space 2, but this is far from ideal and not useable to do this with all programmes.
    Hope that makes some sense. I love spaces and it really speeds things up at busy times!
    Thanks,
    James.

    Open system Prefs, and turn Spaces off. Re-boot your computer and re-enable Spaces. Check to make sure that from the drop down menu, that F8 is selected as the key of choice for enabling what I call the over-view mode. If this doesn't work, then I have no explanation for you. Perhaps you should try re-installing the Spaces application that comes with your copy of Leopard. Also, if the F8 key won't bring up the over-all view, try assigning another key to that function. Perhaps it's the key itself that won't work.
    Good luck

  • Ultra dock + three external monitors not working

    Hardware:
    W540 + Ultra Dock (170W)
    2x 24" LCDs @ 1920X1200 (DVI only)
    1x 30" LCD @ 2560x1600 (DVI only)
    1x Display Port to DVI Active Converter (for the 30" LCD)
    What I want to have is four displays: W540 LCD + 3 external monitors as described above. However, I can only get two of the external displays to turn on regardless of how many chickens I sacrifice. Note: I've searched extensively to see if others have had this problem, which they obviously have, but none of the solutions worked. 
    I think the issue is the 'advanced' mode, but I already turned it on in the BIOS. The laptop LCD works correctly (2880x1620), the 30" LCD works correctly with the display port to DVI active adapter (2560x1600), and one of the 24" LCDs works correctly (1920x1200). However, the other 24" LCD isn't available in Windows as a detected display unless I start swapping cables, which will then enable it while disabling the other 24" LCD.
    For reference, the connections are as follows:
    Laptop LCD (built-in)
    30" LCD: DisplayPort to DVI (active); Ultra Dock DisplayPort 0
    24" LCD number 1: DisplayPort to DVI cable (passive); Ultra Dock DisplayPort 1
    24" LCD number 2: DVI to DVI; Ultra Dock DVI Port 0
    It's my understanding that the K1100M discrete graphics card should be driving all three of the external displays, but that isn't the case right now. I see one 24" and the 30" displays in the Nvidia Control Panel and I see all three working monitors (including the laptop LCD) in botht he Nvidia Control Panel and the Windows Display area.
    Things I've tried:
    Uninstalled + reinstalled Nvidia Quadro drivers
    Uninstalled + reinstalled Intel 4600 drivers
    Enabled Advanced mode in BIOS
    Restarted 5,000 times
    Swapped cables until my fingers started to bleed
    Updated the firmware of the Ultra Dock (it was already fully updated)
    According to this page, I should be able to connect six displays including the built-in LCD. When I first looked at it, I thought I could use both Ultra Dock DisplayPort ports as well as the Ultra Dock DVI port, but it's very unclear if that's actually the case. What does it mean by DP or HDMI and DP or DVI? Does that mean I can use both DisplayPorts (which I'm currently doing and it works) only? Does it mean I can use both DisplayPorts as well as HDMI and DVI? Does it mean if I want to use HDMI and DVI that I can't use either DisplayPort? Does it mean DVI and HDMI both share an output with one of the DisplayPorts so only one of each can be used at a time? TERRIBLE DOCUMENTATION.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been extremely frustrating. I have a feeing the solution is going to be a disappointment as well because it's probably going to involve buying yet another adapter and/or using the Mini-DP output on the laptop instead of, you know, actually being able to use the expensive Ultra Dock...
    [rant]
    I have no idea how to tell if everything is working because the graphics card situation is extremely confusing. I didn't realize when I bought the laptop that the discrete card couldn't drive the laptop's built-in LCD, which is very annoying. Or, maybe that's not true, but the documentation is so confusing that I can't be sure either way. Also, and this really pissed me off, the Ultra Dock DVI connector can't drive a dual link display. What the hell??? Why was this not clearly annotated somewhere? I really hated needing to purchase a DisplayPort to DVI active adapter to make my brand new laptop dock work as advertised. UGH.
    [/rant]

    I'm struggling with a very similar problem. (Thinkpad W540, K2100, Ultradock 170W)
    I am using 2 external monitors right now in bios display standard mode - it's the only way they work at all for me right now. I have tried uninstalling graphics drivers, enabling advanced mode, and restarting, but none of the external displays are detected. I've also tried updating the dock's firmware, but it doesn't seem to be updating (this may have already been updated).
    Current working setup:
    - 2 x 22" external LCDs connected to Ultradock via DP -> DVI cables
    - Laptop integrated LCD
    Related but not quite as equally frustrating, the integrated LCD does not resume when waking the computer from a sleep state. Only a reboot brings the display back.
    I'd like to connect another 24" display over HDMI, but don't have any confidence of it working since advanced mode is utterly worthless for me at the moment. I'm quite dissatisfied especially since I purchased an extended warranty and last time I called for support Lenovo tried to sell me an additional support plan claiming that software was not covered under my current warranty.

  • Spaces not working correctly, Help!

    Hi all,
    I've just changed to a new mac (not actually new, just new to me) and I'm having problems with Spaces in Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I've set various apps - email, web browser etc along with Adobe Creative Suite to open in various spaces so i can easily flick between each of them but for some untold reason Spaces will not keep Adobe Indesign, Illustrstor and Photoshop in Space 1, but whatever Space i'm in rather than the one they are defined to. It does work with Chrome and Outlook however but I know is this not a problem with Adobe as it worked fine on my other Mac, which is also 10.6.8.
    I have no explanantion for this and have removed preferences.plist and that didnt work.
    Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks

    Hi, good you found a temporary solution /workaround.
    Don't know if it's useful to you, but anyway:
    I've read that OSX 10.9 will contain several improvements with spaces and dual monitor setups.
    http://9to5mac.com/2013/04/29/apple-to-update-os-x-with-new-power-user-features- more-from-ios-later-this-year/
    Wether Adobe apps will work well with this new features is another question, as Adobe and Apple are not exactly best friends anymore.
    I'm not an adobe specialist, so maybe somebody else can tune in here and provide tips?

  • 'SHIFT variable RIGHT deleting trailing space' not working

    I have a character field in a transaction that occasionally gets populated with a value that has a space at the end or at the beginning or both. This is causing the dataload to fail. I added code below to remove these spaces from the end and beginning-
    SHIFT <variable> RIGHT deleting TRAILING space.
    SHIFT <variable> LEFT deleting LEADING space.
    The SHIFT LEFT works perfectly and deletes the space at the begining of the value but SHIFT RIGHT does not delete the space at the end for some reason. I tried defining the variable as a char (16), string but nothing seems to make it work.
    Note: I cannot use CONDENSE because the value can have spaces in between that we cannot delete.
    Any ideas why shift right wouldn't work?

    Hi Maanasa,
                           First of all Shift works only with string datatype. So transfer the contents of that character field into a string datatype and do the shift operation.
    Declare a string variable of that type. Data v_str type string.
    Pass the contents of the character field into the string.
    And do the shift operation on the string and pass the value of the string back to the character field.
    Shift v_str by 1 places right.
    Please try this.
    Thanking you,
    Jerry

  • Docking into stereo does not work anymore.

    Yesterday I updated my iPod touch as iTunes was asking me to do so for several weeks.
    Now, when I dock into my stereo, the sound does not come out of the stereo anymore. Before the update it worked perfect.
    Anyone had the same issue and knows how to resolve.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip. After 1 hour searching and trying, I finally succeeded and it works again.
    It's a shame that new version of software are not always better... That is why I normally don't mess with something that works fine.

  • Screen Saver and Dock and Mail all not working properly

    I'm helping my husband troubleshoot some issues he is having. His machine is a new (couple of months) Mac Pro Quad Intel with 10.6.2.
    He has never been able to get the ScreenSaver to 'see' iPhotos. iPhotos completely quit launching today and I did everything I read on the boards, finally settling on deleting and reinstalling from the Snow Leopard disk. It works fine, but Screensaver still does not see it. I have deleted, the com.apple.screensaver caches and anything in preferences that had to do with screensaver including the plist. I restarted the machine and it made no difference, other than the hot corners finally started working.
    It won't keep certain applications in the dock. Like Word. They disappear every time the machine is restarted. As above.. I have deleted the com.apple.doc.db and com.apple.dock.plist to no avail.
    This just started today as well... When the mail has when the program has been Quit, with every 30 minutes set in the mail preferences, it will launch, every 30 minutes. The dock icon will bounce and Mail will ask for the password so it can check for new mail. But the program was not open for it to be checking for mail. Oddly, something like this is also happening on his old G5 sitting in the other room. The only thing common to them is they are on the same network and pulling email from the same ISP account. Though the G5 is no longer scheduled to actively get new mail at any time, it is for some reason self-launching. I have no idea why my mail was open on that machine when I saw it this afternoon, but there it was.
    It is a lot of issues. He has been having issues since he got the machine and gets one resolved and then discovers another one. But the Dock and ScreenSaver he has never been able to resolve, Mail is a new issue. He has re-installed Snow Leopard 10.6.2 twice thinking something had become corrupted, I am using the same OS X on my machine and having no issues, I can see no difference in the settings. If I can't get some ideas from y'all here then I guess I am going to have to go to tech support because it seems to be one weird thing after another.

    Even in big sky country, people must know where the Desktop resides. It's what's on the screen when all windows are closed. Thus, move the om.apple.screensaver.XXXXX.plist file in the ByHost subfolder out of there and put it on the Desktop. The next statement: +*System Preferences->Desktop & Screen Saver->and iPhoto should be available.*+ means open System Preferences, select the Desktop & Screen Saver prefPane (preference pane) and in the listing should appear iPhoto. It does on my machine. If not, then restart and see if the iPhoto folder appears in that prefPane.
