Dock does not appear

I am having problems with the dock on my iMac. The dock does not appear and the display freezes continually. Any help?

If you have Parallels installed and have updated to 10.6.8, there is a know conflict involving the dock behavior. The solution is to update Parallels to the latest version.

Dock does not appear/hide

I have checked "Dock" under the Apple and it shows the option to "Turn Off Hiding". However, in System Preferences, Dock shows the automatic hiding unchecked. This has happened several different times after I have carefully checked "Automatic Hiding". Therefore, I cannot access my Dock but must use Finder/Applications to access my programs.
How can I make sure the option to have Automatic Hiding remain checked?
Why is the option reverting to being unchecked after I have checked it?
Thanks for your help.

reset your dock preferences. delete the file homefolder/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. this will reset your dock, spaces and exposé preferences. see if autohiding works ok after that.

Finder & Dock do not work - Mac Hard Drive does not appear on Desktop

Until yesterday, my powerbook was working properly.
This morning, I wanted to use it and I had the following problems after login.
1/ My Mac Hard drive does not appear on my dekstop
2/ My dock appears but no icon works when I click on them. So, I can't open finder. I have no response.
3/ Furthermore, my top bar (with clock, login name, Airport icon...) appears but it is frozed.
I try several solutions as :
- rebooting in safe mode,
- rebooting, with in the same time, hold different keys (option, apple, p & R)...
As of today, no solution works.
Thanks for your help.

Ok, that's good enough. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.8 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
EDIT:
I have around 5 Go space left on my Mac
Also, your getting very low on disk space. Try to copy some of the data off to other media. *Do it before you try applying the combo, you'll need the space.*

The Fan option does not appear for folders in the dock.

The fan option does not appear on folders on the Dock. Stack option is checked, but all I get is grid list and automatic....running 10.5.2
any ideas?

Not that I know of. When on the side no fan for folders and no 3D look, which I prefer. Background of the Dock very dark so the white dot showing an app is open is easy to see and it all looks very sophisticated.
You might check with third party apps to see if anyone is changing that, but most people don't like the fan so I doubt if anyone is working to add it in.

My iPod frozen on "Do not disconnect" yet it does not appear in iTunes on my computer ?

My iPod seems to be frozen on "Do not disconnect" yet it does not appear in iTunes on my computer ? Eventually I did disconnect. It's remains frozen and shows almost full charge.

I'm having similar problems. Here is exactly what happens to me:
I dock the iPod (I believe it is the 5th gen model, one of the first to play videos). Sometimes it syncs properly sometimes not. It will add songs not on my iPod, but it won't update the play count, last played, etc. The problem was fixed when I updated to a new version of iTunes (I believe it was 7.2 at the time, I could be wrong). So I played it off just being an iTunes issue. Well, with 2 updates since then, it has done it yet again. I've tried to restart the iPod using the menu+select key. It will work to remove the iPod, but it won't help in the future. The only way I can remove the iPod is to click on "Safely Remove Hardware." I know this isn't good for the iPod, but this is the only way that I can get the "Do not disconnect" icon off my iPod. Also, I tried to click "Eject iPod" (I've used this several times in emergency cases and worked wonders) but I get a message saying "iPod is in use by another windows program." I couldn't imagine what program is using my iPod. As far as I know, iTunes is the only program that can use the iPod on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS CC does not appear.

Downloaded trial version of CC for PS about 10 days ago. PS does does not appear in any of the many places/ways i have tried to start it. From mac Launchpad i see Bridge, CC, CC other folder, and application manager folder. But no Photoshop!!!
I can work around this by opening bridge and then open a file which gets me to PS, but that is inefficient, especially if i wish to start with a blank canvas. why cannot PS be made DIRECTLY available to me.
If i click the CC icon from launchpad or the CC icon on my dock, nothing happens. Double click, single click --nothing.
Adobe is forcing long time users like myself to use the CC -- is this what the experience is really all about?

Another way once photoshop cc 2014 is actually running, is to right click on the PS icon in the dock, click on Options and click on Keep in Dock, which should leave a shortcut for starting photoshop cc 2014 on the dock after quitting photoshop.

Error: sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported.

Hi all--
Bought an iPhone 5 off ebay. It's totally wiped, and when I go to activate, I get a "Sim Not Valid" error on the phone, and "sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported" in iTunes.
It is an AT&T phone, and has an AT&T sim in it. Talked to AT&T, and they said it just needed to be unlocked. I got the seller to go through that process. However, the last step for unlocking is:
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
2. Ensure the original SIM card that came with this device is inserted in your iPhone.
3. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
4. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes.
I assume ideally, the seller was supposed to still have the phone and complete the unlock himself. But I have the phone and cannot backup and restore because I get the sim error in iTunes which blocks me from doing anything as far as I can tell.
Am I missing a step? Is there any way for me to complete the unlock, or do anything at all to get this phone working even as an iPod, other than sending it back to the seller?
Thanks.
Chris

Then return the phone to the seller and get your money back.
The symptoms you describe are typical of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it at some point. Very often after doing so, when the phone is restored, it becomes completely unable to activate even on the carrier it was originally locked to.

ITunes launches but does not appear.

When I click on iTunes it launches and the itunes tabs appear on the top of the screen but my library does not appear. Has anyone had this problem? Know how to solve it?

Are you saying that you see the iTunes menu bar across the top but not the library window? Or are you saying that the iTunes library window appears but there is nothing in the library?
If it's the former, it's possible the window is hiding just off screen or underneath your dock. You could turn the dock off or move it temporarily to see if you can find the window. Also...go under the Window menu in iTunes and make sure there's a checkmark next to iTunes. If there's not, select it.
If it's the latter, I really don't know. Have you done a search on your hard drive for a song from your library to see if the folder somehow got moved?

Xml/itl-"The file "iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid..

"The file "iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged).itl"
does enyone know how to fix this for ever?
thanks.

Katrina, created test, copied ITL (I Tunes Library file?) across, did the shift thing, I Tunes opens with my songs, created a play list, closed I tunes, re-opened it, play list still there. Is that what you mean?
I think I have some other issues as well.
I Tunes says 2477 songs/485 artists, my I Pod has 300 more.
Windows explorer suggests 589 artists (I keep library organised) I've lost the connection to the "movie" folder.
Also despite songs appearing in the library, they won't play in I Tunes at all. Fine on Ipod (although not docked since this started), fine with other media. players in same location.
Is this a nightmare where I have to delete everything & start again?

HT4061 "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported." problem

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4S that I bought and used in the US from ATT carrier. After I moved to India, I had requested ATT for the unlock which is approved. But the following message is displayed while trying to restore the same iPhone in India using another SIM card:
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Can anyone suggest what should be done to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Sri.

I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network. I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up). There is no explanation why.

I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked. However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer). There is no explanation as to why not. Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what? Can it be fixed? I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

BPM Application Link does not appear in BPM Workspace (11.1.1.7)

I spent huge amount of time to reveal why does that happens.
All that follows further is valid for BPM Suite 11.1.1.7.
The scenario.
You developed a simple BPM process with Initiator pattern (maybe by following the "Quote Request" tutorial).
But the application link did not appear in BPM Workspace.
Here i'm skipping any kind of mistakes as "oh, incorrect swimlane", "oh, i did not include the user to the app role" and so on.
At first, you should know about the "feature" - You have to attach task form to the Initiator Human Task to see the App Link.
The simplest way to do that is to AutoGenerate task form (and deploy it, of course).
Else the Appication Link will not appear.
One exception to this rule - If your Task HAS NO PAYLOAD (no parameters) the Task Form is not required (to appearing of the Application Link).
The second find is a bug (is think so).
If you edited the Role that Attached to the swimlane of Initiator Task, you will not see the Application Link.
If you look to organization.xml you will see something like this:
        <ns1:applicationRole id="StartTask.InitRole" isProcessRole="true">
            <ns5:name>StartTask.InitRole1</ns5:name>
            <ns1:processRole id="InitRole" name="InitRole1"/>
        </ns1:applicationRole>
The Application Link will appear ONLY IF THE "applicationRole id", "applicationRole name" and "processRole id" have the same value.
When you edit name of the application role in Organization Editor you change "applicationRole name" and "processRole name" values.
After that "applicationRole id" != "applicationRole name" and the Link does not appear.
How to fix?
Just edit organization.xml (with external editor) - change the "applicationRole name" to the value of "applicationRole id".
That allows to have value of "processRole name" something like "The Initiator Role" - that value appears in the BPMN diagram of process.
Also you can edit organization.xml with Organization Editor and set the Name to the value of "applicationRole id".
In that case the associated swimlane will have the same name as the "applicationRole id".
Hope this helps somebody
Oleg

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

File Place does not appear on my menu. Neither does Tools Photoshop Image processor.

In Bridge File>Place is grayed out on my menu. Tools>Photoshop>Image processor does not appear at all. I have reset the preferences numerous times and am good to go until I shut down my computer. When I reboot they are gone again. I have a Mac with OS 10.10.2 (Yosemite) and CC.

Well, that's fine for the OS, but sometimes not so great for Photoshop. Try QUITTING Photoshop from the Photoshop menu, or by Command Q, before you get anywhere near your Apple menu .
Gene gave you sound advice, but don't forget to run Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility before and after any installation, upgrade or update of the OS or any application.
You'd think that shouldn't be necessary, but it is indeed vital, indispensable routine maintenance.
Forget about "it had never happened before", Yosemite is a work in progress. Apple never gets a major OS X release right until about the dot four or five release, so Yosemite has a way to go before it's at 10.10.4 or 10.10.5. That has proven to be the nature of the beast.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.
