Dock Icon showing stats?

Ok, so Im new to Mac and have a silly question. Ive been using BitTorrent and iRip a lot recently. They used to show stats on the actual icon on the Dock. Things like upload/download speed and progress bars. Now that Ive upgraded to Mountain Lion its gone. I right clicked and looked under options as well as Dock settings and there is nothing there. Any advice?

I keep Activity Monitor's dock icon set to the memory pie chart. Is that what you mean?
there are half-a-dozen different things it will display, as long as Activity Monitor is open, whether its window is open or not.

Dock icon shows yesterday's date when closed

Per the title, dock icon shows Dec 1 when iCal is closed. When I open it, it changes to today's date, but when I quit it reverts to 12/1.
Trashed preference file, no change.
Not the biggest deal--just takes me back to Tiger--however I do get concerned when something "new" starts happening for no apparent reason.

dfreiwald,
Have you removed the icon from the Dock and replaced it with the iCal icon located in your Applications folder?
I would say this is more of a nuisance than something to worry about.
;~)

Dock icon shows 13 messages unread?

My Mail Dock icon shows that I have 13 unread messages but I have read all of them. How or what can I do to fix this? It is very anyoing to see this as I think there are more messages that need to be read than are really there.
Thanks for your help with this.

Make new smartfolder set to display unread messages only (in the unlikely case that they exist but can't be found in the regular folders), they may be visible this way.
That worked for me - Thanks

OSX Lion Server app hangs; dock icon shows incrementing counter

I'm running OSX Lion (10.7.3) on a MacMini.
since yesterday, the following concistenly happens: when I start the server app, it says "connecting to the server" next to the spinning wheel at the bottom right corner of the app window. After a few seconds, the app's dock icon shows a red counter (akin to the "unread counter" of the mail app) which is continuously being incrememted, and the (in)famous colored spinning wheel comes up as well: the server app hangs, and shows up as "Not Responding" in the Activity Monitor.
I've checked the System Diagnostic Reports on the Console window, and it reports the Server app as hanging, followed by a few thousand lines of messages ...
Does anybody know what goes wrong, or better, how to resolve this problem??

I have the exact same issue. I can see from Console.app, that
opendirectoryd: got error 1100
Can somebody please help?

Hold down dock icon - show windows

With Snow Leopard, I used to be able to hold down an icon on the dock (where multiple windows were open for the same app), and it would show all of the various pieces of that app I had open. With Lion you have to click and select open all Windows
Example, Outlook: Holding down the mouse button would show all of the open mail messages.
Now, it only shows a menu, where you can select 'show all windows'.
is there any way to get that feature back? (other than going back to SL?)

The 2-finger double click doesn't work for me.
What worked is a three-finger swipe down (called "App Expose" in the system preferences) over the applicaiton icon. If you use an external mouse, then you can use the MIssion Control button over the app (ie. for the Magic Mouse, you would double tap over the dock icon).

Dock icon showing 'do not' symbol

After upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7.3, I noticed several dock icons with 'don't' symbol. What is it?

Great choice. So basically, unless you have something vital to your workflow that is showing as no longer supported, try updating it, otherwise uninstall them. I think I only had about two old Plc programs when I updated AppleWorks being one, so really no noticeable dig fence in workflow and much prefer working in Lion.
Good luck

Mac Mail: Unread mail counter on dock icon shows "phantom" unread mails

The mailconter of my Mac Mail icon on the dock shows 25 unread messages, but I'm unable to find these inside Mac Mail as unread messages.
I did check all mailboxes and their subfolders for any undread messages that might be inside them, but I didn't find any.
Is there any way to reset or recalculate the unread mail counter for the dock icon?

Hi Robert
The proposed rebuild did suddenly reveal the 25 unread mails insinde my archive mailfolders. By marking these as read again now shows the correct count of unread mails on the dock icon.
Thanks a lot, your hint was most helpful!
Regards
Erich

Why doesn't the dock icon update after I update my apps?

When I have app updates available, the dock icon shows the number pending. After I perform the updates via the App Store, the dock icon still shows the previous number. Even after a week!

I don't have any problem with the actual update process: it works like a charm on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. Being able to install my purchased apps on both computers is great, and the App Store applications on the two computers always know what has been updated on each. It's just that darned Dock icon! Here's hoping that the bug gets fixed sooner rather than later.

My creative cloud icon shows a red download error tag that states to contact customer support. Every app appears to be updated
Is this a bug. Should I be concerned?

I set up iCloud on my iMac with OS version 10.6.8 but I'm not able to have the icon show on my Dock with the other application icons. What do I do?

I set up iCloud on my iMac with OS version 10.6.8 but I'm not able to have the iCloud icon show in my Dock with the other application icons. What can I do? Is it because iCloud is not part of the 10.6.8 version? I clicked System Preferences and I saw MobileMe and no iCloud.

Thanks for your reply! Would my IMac be able to support the Mavericks (10.9) considering that I bought it in June 2011? Not sure if that even matters.

Hide/Show Dock Icon

I remember seeing somewhere, I think it was here or on Mac OS X Hints, where someone had created an applet that you could use to hide or show a dock icon. I had downloaded it, but I deleted it and can no longer find it. I looked in my TM backups in the applications folder where it was located and it is not there as far back as I can go. Does anyone know of or remember this. I am using a Drobo system and want the Drobo Dashboard app to launch at startup. I have it set in my login item prefs to do so, with it hidden. It works fine, and does not open the app window, so checking the hide box works. It only works to a point, though. As long as the app is running it's icon shows up in the dock. I don't want that there.

Hi,
great news. Glad to be of help.
MacUpdate and VersionTracker http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/ are my main resources for software.
Have Fun

TS3276 When I receive an email it doesnt show "1" on the dock icon of mail.

I have 2 accounts online on my mail app, one pop and an imap.
When I receive a mail through pop, it doesnt show "1" on the dock icon of mail. Through imap everything works fine.

Why now is showing me this amount of emails as unread?? I have already marked them as read..

Dock icons not showing if they're open

My dock icons don't have the normal little 'tick' underneath them to show that they're open.
Any idea what's going on? fix?

beechpark --
The triangle has been replaced with a white dot or light just under the apps that are open.
If your dock is on the side of your screen, the dot is just beside the open app.
Hope this helps.

Leopard Mail Not Showing # Unread Messages in Dock Icon

For some inexplicable reason, my Leopard version of Mail has stopped showing unread message notifications. I still hear the mail ding, but there's no little red badge on the doc icon showing how many unread messages I have. And, yes, the "Dock unread count" is set to all mailboxes since I have multiple email accounts I check. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it?

Jeff Greenberg's response was brilliant! Thanks Jeff.
I have had 2 "unread mail" items showing up for weeks and have been agonizing over what and where they were, how important the "unread" mail was, and what life experiences, deals, etc., I was missing out on. Creating a Smart Mailbox showing Unread mail worked - one caveat however: Add a second condition - that the the Unread Mail be in your INBOX (forgetting to add this condition this showed me HUNDREDS of unread mail items that resided in my OTHER Smart Mailboxes).
It worked. I found, read, and deleted my "unread mail" - Nothing important. Thanks again!
