Dock icons start missingas i scroll and stacks documents are invisable

Hiya
Got an i mac (which i adore) but after a few hours the dock icons have lines through them as i skim over them and some dissapear all together. Also the stacks fan out to show just shadows where the documents should be. Also having some programmes shut unexpectidly. Any ideas whats wrong? Its got a 1gb memory in it and i have got photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver etc on it, do i need more memory?

Boot from your install dvd & from the utility menu run repair disk & repair permissions. Restart your computer afterwards.
If you are using photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver etc you should be repairing permissions once in a while. Have you been doing that?
You definitely need more ram.

  • Upgraded to IOS 8 and now documents are not syncing from mac to IOS devices

    Hello,
    I upgraded to IOS 8 on iPhone 5 and iPad 2 and now documents are not syncing from the  mac to IOS devices.
    How can restore document sharing  functions to the iCloud pre-IPOS 8?
    Thank you

    Okay, so we're moving forward now.  no problem.   while waiting for a response I noticed that both NUMBERS and PAGES sync-ed to the iCloud on iphone5.   However, I am still waiting for the iPad to sync. post IOS8.   Should I go get a cup of coffee or is there a way to expedite the sync process?

  • Customer invoice doument and cancelled document are showing under openitems

    Dear All,
    I have created customer invoice in VF01 and cancelled the invoice in VF11.
    1.System is showing Invoice document and cancelled document under open items list in FBL5N customer line items.
    A. Is this correct?
            or
    B. When we cancelled the invoice document it should automatically go to cleared items list?
    Kindly provide me what is the correct?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Saisri.

    Hello,
    Once you cancelled the invoice document then you have to clear manually those items in tC: F-32. If you are not cleared then system will show you as open item. After cleared in F-32 then status will change from Open to Close.
    Thanks

  • Pages and Number documents are blank

    I believe this was a problem earlier for others, but any Pages or Numbers document I open appears to be blank. The data is still there, so I can select a cell in Numbers and the contents are still shown in the bar above, but no text, images or rules are shown in the page.
    This is a huge issue - most of my business proposals are Pages docs.
    Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
    Mac OS X (10.6.7), iWork '09 (Pages 4.04 and Numbers 2.05)

    In addition to using the combo update for Snow Leopard, you should have the iWork apps updated to 9.0.5. I'm not sure how you updated Numbers without updating Pages as well.

  • Computer starts up but HD and Menu bar are not visible?

    Recently my Powerbook G4 began to act strangely and either freeze or slow way down for the first time in its four years of use. I have a new IMac to replace it. Here is my current problem:
    I'm trying to copy over some files via Firewire. I start my powerbook in target mode. Its icon appears on my new imac and I start to copy over. Midway through copying, I dragged an open window to a different place on the screen of my new computer, and the copy stalled/froze. I couldn't drag the target HD icon to the trash to shut down my powerbook properly, so I held down its power key and it turned off.
    Now, when I try to restart the powerbook in target mode, its icon wont appear on my new computer's desktop, though the 'I'm in target mode' screen saver bounces around on my powerbook.
    When I try to boot up my Powerbook to shut it down properly on its own, it starts up, but the stuff I have stored on my desktop, including the HD icon, don't appear. Neither does the menu bar, so I can't shut it down that way. The dock appears, as does the photo that I use for my desktop image. I can click on dock applications, and they do the bouncy thing, but they don't open.
    Any ideas? Thanks very much to anyone who can help!

    And how did Single User Mode work out?
    If you can't start it up in SUM or from an installer disc, put it in FW Target Disk mode again and see whether Disk Utility on the host Mac can see it to make repairs. DU may be able to see the drive even if it doesn't appear on the desktop of the host machine.
    My guess is that by disconnecting it improperly in FWTDM (not that you had much choice under the circumstances), you well and truly hosed the hard drive.

  • Dock application Fan appears but thumbnails and app names are blank

    Something strange has happened on my Dock. I grouped all the iLife apps by creating a new folder and moving links to the iLife apps into it. It works fine.
    Then I dragged this folder to the dock to make a fan of iLife apps. It simplifies my Dock. This worked fine for a while.
    Recently, the fan has come up with blank thumbnails and blank app names. Mousing on the blank entries starts the app, just as before. But of course it now I don't know what i am launching. When I reboot, the fan shows all just as I wanted -- for a while. The it blanks out again.
    what is going on? I want to fix this.

    It appears to be a common problem. A restart will get it working again for awhile. See for instance this discussion:

    There are many others along the same lines.

  • Cannot directly open the browser from the icon. "problem loading webpage" and "timed out" are the messages. Access was accomplished by using yahoo messenger and opening my email. if I attempt to open a new page, I recieve the aforementioned warnings.

    no link to open access to the internet. I used Yahoo Messenger, clicked on the 'mail icon' and since Firefox is my default it opened and I was able to continue from there. If I try to click File, open New Page, I get the "problem loading webpage" and "connection timed out" messages

    changed my homepage to Yahoo. Now Firrefox works but still cannot access ANYTHING 'Google"!

  • I recently lost access to external hard drive connected to my iMac (no icon visible). My iTunes and iPhoto files are accessed from this drive.  I can't seem to get the time machine to restore these two. that drive was NOT excluded from time machine backup

    Hi.
    help!  recently I noticed  the external drive icon missing from my desktop...the one with my huge itunes and iphoto libraries. I tried several things but couln't get it back. So I tried to restore to an older date in time machine with no success. I'm sure the drive was not set for exclusion from the backups. Any thoughts as to where i'm going wrong? I was under the impression that external drives were also backed up with time machine...am I delusional?

    Frequently doing a SMC reset will help this issue, for directions please click the iMac SMC and PRAM reset link. Also check the obvious such as cables and connections. Or it's even possible the EHD has failed, they can and do.

  • Attachments to emails and downloaded documents are stripped of all text

    When I open a document sent to me via email, or even when I download a document, the formatting appears, but the text has been stripped from the document. Do I have an incorrect setting in Word 2008 or have I unknowingly made a change in my Adobe Reader that has caused this? Please help. I have a contract to read and sign but I can't even see what it says.

    I am at work. A colleague has just mailed me a document with a table in Word and as a PDF. The word file was stripped of all contents. The formatting stayed as it was. The PDF comes through in perfect shape. Beginning to look like a Word problem to me. I will investigate that possibility. Please let me know if you have experienced this or have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem.

  • Downloaded pages and all documents are in Latin or French. Language setting is on English. How do I switch everything to English?

    Just got a new iPad Air -downloaded "pages" even though the language setting is defaulted to English, all the templates are written in either Latin or French. The headings are in English - no the body content? I have deleted the app and downloaded it a second time with the same results?? I would really like all the data to be in English.

    It is placeholder text in Latin. You have to replace it with your own text. Placeholder text is for giving you an idea on what the document will look like.

  • After installing ios8 my iCloud setting is stuck in the upgrading mode, and some documents are missing from my pages app.

    After installing the IOS8 on my ipad2, the iCloud drive is stuck in the upgrading mide.  I am also missing some documents that were in my Pages app.  Can anyone help my fix this issue?

    I have just encountered a similar issue and I think it might have been the same as one you are getting. Turns out, I accidentally switched from my local store to US Store (App Store gives you a pop-up offering that), and purchases are tracked separately between those, causing all your purchases to become invisible.
    Go to Settings, log out of App Store, log in again, and you should receive a pop-up saying that your account is associated with a different store, offering to switch back. Now all apps are back and available for download.

  • HT4859 I had to restore my IPAD and my documents are gone  HELP!!

    Hi  I had to troubleshoot my IPAD and the Apple Support had me backup to the cloud  and do a restore.  They assured me  that my documents would be safe.
    I did the resore and all my documents in Quickoffice are gone.  Is there a way to get them?

    Try this...
    Tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
    Give iCloud a minute or two to sync the data.
