Dock icon bounce w/ critical not continuous?

In the docs it says, "If the priority is
NotificationType.Critical then the icon bounces until the
application is brought to the foreground. " however when I give
bounce() that critical priority it still only bounces once.
Any ideas? Error in the documentation?

I just tried:
DockIcon(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon).bounce(
NotificationType.CRITICAL );
and it worked as described in the docs.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • Can't Open 3rd party Apps with my User (Icon Bouncing then Application Not Responding)

    Hi
    Problem:
    I can't Open 3rd Part Apps with my user (FireFox, Chrome, Dropbox, GoogleDrive, Mega, Final Cut Pro X, etc) they just star bouncing and after a while they stop bouncing then i righ click on them and it says "Application Not Responding", but i can open native apps like Safari, iTunes, iMovie, Finder, Settings
    Other Events:
    -Just Before this happend i was editting a video on FCPX, y export it and tried to upload to Google Drive (in Chrome), when it was uploading I closed FCPX and the uploading stop it at 91%, y tried to reupload but then I realized that this video was in a temp folder and it wasnt there anymore, so I open FCPX to export it again and i couldnt, it was just bouncing and then "App not responding".
    -After Installing Yosemite i feelt it slow even after it finished the encriptation File Vault, specially in chrome.
    I have tried:
    1-Repair Disk Permisions
    2-Reset SMC
    3-Reinstall FCPX
    4-Decrypted the Disk and create another user and i was able to run Chrome, FireFox and FCPX, When I opened FCPX it started but when it was trying to open the project that i was working , it restarted the app and i couldnt open FCPX again, just bouncing and App Not Responding

    Yes, as long as you let TM do a full disc backup (that is, you do not exclude anything in the TM backup settings) you will have a backup that allows a full system restore - puts everything back just as it was.
    You can also clone your system using the shareware app SuperDuper or the donation-ware app CarbonCopyCloner
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    http://www.bombich.com/
    Both of these apps will make a true clone (literally, a bit-by-bit copy) of your hard drive onto an external drive.  This clone will actually be bootable itself (you plug in the drive and hold the option key during startup then select the clone to boot from).  You would boot from the clone, then reverse-clone it back onto your internal hard drive.
    If you are really serious about being highly confident of not loosing files, you could use both  - I keep a TM backup on one drive, and 2 clones on separate bus-powered hard drives.
    P.S. even if you had not had any issues, you really, REALLY should be keeping regular, up to date backups anyway - things go flooey without warning sometimes and you risk loosing everything on your machine if you DON'T keep regular backup copies available.

  • What is it that makes the Downloads dock icon bounce?

    Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a script?
    And more importantly: can I copy the behavior with other dock icons?
    Many thanks, as always, people.

    Alex,
    I had no other way to get in touch other than post on this thread. I would like to discuss with you an archived thread you started concerning the Pirelli router, WDS, and Airport Express.
    I am in Athens as well and have a similar issue. So far, I am concluding that the Pirelli WDS protocol is different than the Apple. I cannot seem to solve the problem of extending the network using an Airport as a remote access point. Can you advise?
    Cheers, Stuart

  • Icon bounce notification problem with hidden dock

    Hi: I think this has been reported on macosxhints for the mail app, but I'm seeing it in other applications too. Specifically, I have Adium setup to notify me via a bouncing dock icon on new messages. I also have a hidden dock.
    I've noticed that on new messages, initially the dock icon bounce will be visible. But if I mouse over the dock area to unhide + hide the dock, the bouncing will no longer be visible (it is still bouncing, and I can unhide the dock to confirm - just not visible when the dock is hidden anymore). If I click on the dock icon to check my message, any subsequent messages from Adium result in the dock icon bounce not being visible with the dock hidden. Once again, it is bouncing, just not visible.
    As described in http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090330170041769, there are certain ways to avoid this, or even to recover from this, but I end up missing my IMs pretty often.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Thank you Barry. I wonder if anyone else has the answer to that question. I have many different view options for different folders, and it would be a pain to have to reset each one of them.

  • Mouse over dock icon no longer indicates "application not responding"

    A very convenient feature seems to be missing from Snow Leopard. In prior versions, if an application was not responding, holding the cursor over its dock icon would display "[Application] Not Responding" and also an option to Force Quit. This status message does not appear in Snow Leopard.
    Are we to assume that if we click and hold on a dock icon and "Force Quit" is presented as an option, that the application has stopped responding?
    Suggestions?

    drdocument wrote:
    Thanks!
    So if I click and hold a dock icon and "Force Quit" is shown instead of "Quit" would that indicate that the particular application is in the midst of some process and simply unable to respond?
    Should I simply allow more time for the app to finish whatever it's doing?
    it could be either. sometimes an application is busy and is showing as not responding but will come out of it after a while. but sometimes it's truly hanging and then you have to force quit it to get rid of it. there is no way to tell just by looking at the dock. give it a bit of time and if it's still not responding then force quit. but if it's happening all the time then you may have problems with your system.
    In particular, here, I've launched DiskWarrior 4.2 on a Mini (via Screen Sharing from my Mac Pro) in an attempt to rebuild directory on a My Book 1TB external drive connected by FireWire, which Disk Utility indicates needs repair but DU cannot repair. Ideas?
    so what does disk warrior say when you try to rebuild the directory? and you should also verify the internal drive on the mini too.

  • Open Buddies window when clicking dock icon, not Messages window

    Fantastically annoying that clicking the dock icon for messages does not open the buddy list..this should be configurable. 

    Right!?!? Beyond annoying, it's like Apple has gone out of it's way to just make little annoyances.  I wish it would just go back to how iChat was, or like you said, make it configurable.
    Also, if you close out of all Messages windows, and then put the computer to sleep (this is something I do quite common), when you return from sleep, Messages has completely quit on its own.  Why....??

  • Icon bouncing in dock

    I use the on screen po-up alarms quite a bit and notice that when one comes on screen the iCal icon bounces in the dock. About half the time, when I click on the alarm to get rid of it the icon in the dock keeps bouncing, apparently it will keep this up forever, or until I click on it to make iCal active. It is very annoying trying to work with this icon continually bouncing, so I eventually make iCal active and then immediately close it, which solves the problem. Am I doing something wrong to cause this behaviour or is this just an iCal bug? I can't find any preference remotely related to the behaviour.

  • Bouncing dock icon

    I've set up the bouncing dock icon.
    But in Thunderbird, it would bounce and once TB got focus (even without clicking the dock icon), it would stop bouncing.
    In Mail, this is not the case, I have to click the dock icon to stop the bouncing. Is this fixable?

    I have to click the dock icon to stop the bouncing. Is this fixable?
    There's nothing to fix; it's normal behavior. Why don't you just turn off the bouncing Dock icon, since you don't need it to check your mail?

  • Eliminate icon bouncing in dock?

    I find it distracting when one of the dock icons starts 'bouncing'. Is there any way to turn this function off?
    thanks,

    How you go about it depends on the situation.
    If you're talking about an icon bouncing once or twice as you open the application, that behavior is controlled from System Preferences > Dock pane, and unchecking "Animate opening ..."
    Some applications will bounce the dock icon for various reasons - mail has been received, calendar alarms, errors, etc. These application specific actions have to be controlled from the application itself. You may not always be able to turn the animation off, either.
    Good luck
