Dock icons will not stop running

The icons on my dock will not stop running. They have the small blue light under them when in use but the light does not go off when I close the program. I have been quitting them by holding down the curser on the icon until menu comes up to quit. Help, please. Thanks, Arudi

yup. bizarre. logged out of MobileMe and I try to move the Keychain Icon from the third on the left to the last on the right and -whoooo-oop - it slides back to the left. no fun. like having a gremlin moving books around in my library or something...

  • Sound Test will not stop running

    I have a sound bar hooked into my desktop tower using the front headphone jack.  I tried to run a sound test on it and the sound test worked.  Now, the sound test will not stop running.  Every time I turn on the sound bar, I get the annoying, electronic siren noise.  How do I stop this and return the sound bar to its functioning state?

    Thanks. Lease see the attached link http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097#
    Click on the 'more' link near the beginning as this may be crucial in your case. Also note the very last paragraph regarding the computer!

  • Mail will not stop loading, twirling rainbow icon will not stop, cannot close mail application then.

    Just downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and on my Mac Book Pro (mid 2009).  When I select the mail application this problem occurs: the rainbow icon that twirls will not stop, and then I cannot close the mail program at all.  No clue what to do next, thanks for the help or ideas.

    Click on the apple in the top left corner of the computer. If it doesn't let you, open another application such as finder, and then click it, then go down the force quit, then click mail and then press force quit.

    Ran the 10.4.8 update on my 1.25 G4 powerbook and it worked fine. Ran the update on my my 1.42 GHz G4 mac mini and the fan has not stopped running once. The fan hardy ever came on before. Any one else have this problem?

    mac mini + power book   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Yep, have a Macbook Pro 1.83 Ghz (week 15) with 2GB SDRAM. Since 10.4.8 I have been experiencing the same issue. As somebody else descibed it on this site its alike a spinning wheel sound on a bicycle. Recently Apple have been messing around alot causing problems with networking and CaptureOne and so on. Hope they get their act together soon.

  • Dock icons will not disappear when I drag them to desktop or trash

    On my MacBook Pro, when I drag an icon from the dock to the desktop or to trash, it bounces back to where it was on the dock. I tried to move Applescript Editor, AppleWorks 6, Keychain Access, Activity Monitor,  Quick Time Player and several more icons and they all did the same. Each icon that will not disappear, has a blue dot reflection underneath it.
    I moved one of the icons without a blue reflection to the desk top and it did go up in smoke, but as soon as i replaced that icon from finder back to the dock, it also had a blue reflection under it and I could not make it disappear again.
    If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Thank you so much,
    Arudi

    You're only supposed to drag icons out of the Dock if you want to remove them from it; running applications won't disappear immediately but may do so when quit.
    If you're trying to put icons on the desktop, find the items in the Finder and drag them there with the Option and Command keys held down.

  • Dock Icons will not stay in their place (CPU?)

    I have been having an issue with random dock icons not staying in their place. I move an icon to a place that makes it arranged correctly in terms of grouping or importance and it "slides" back to it's original place almost immediately. Or I will move one and start arranging and all of a sudden one will slide to the right side or something.
    I finally got a chance to troubleshoot this and did a google search.
    I have for a very long time had DOCK SYNC TURNED OFF.
    Now I have gotten into the MBP and LOGGED OUT of my MobileMe account and it STILL does this. It has been happening since I bought the computer new. I have other issues related to battery life and beachballs and hot computer or hot power charger of loud fan so I put another 4 GIGS in the machine recently so that it now has 8.
    Mac phone support says they want to walk me through checking the CPU but I have done this routine like three times on this computer where I set up a User Account and I have done a FRESH INSTALL twice since I bought it. Last week I finally caught a break in the schedule to bring it in and they say the Hardware is fine.
    I mean, it is odd but I don't consider this machine to be what I would consider a "pro" line but at the same time I see that this dock thing is happening on my MacPro (albeit while I am still logged into my MobileMe account).
    Thoughts or suggestions? I don't want to take the time to bring it in if I don't have to.

  • IChat icon will not stop bouncing

    Hello all
    Here is my problem ....
    I startup IChat and when I go to another program the icon continues to bounce on the dock.
    All settings are set to not bounce.
    Please help with the very annoying problem
    Thanks Mark

    Hi,
    Re 1)
    Sometimes the apps or items listed as Login Items (System Preferences > Accounts > Your account > Login Items) can start up faster than some parts of the OS.
    It is more noticeable with waking from Sleep.
    Sleep (Set in the System Preferences > Energy Saver) is what happens if the computer is set to "Spin Down" after a certain amount of time.
    This cuts all network Connections and on waking, re-establishing these can be slower then the apps that are open also waking leading to the app reporting no network.
    Sometimes deleting the said App and re-adding it to the list will place it lower in the list and later in the Start up order (not always successful with faster processors)
    Sort of 1b)
    Do you have the Buddy list viewable on this Start up ?
    If the Buddy List is Logged in but has had the Red Button used to hide the window iChat will tend to remember this at the next launch - the App Starts and the Buddy List is logged in (See iChat Menu > Accounts and and the Window Menu) but the buddy List's actual Window is not on view.
    Re 2)
    At this point is there any message popping up about iChat ?
    If several apps have opened other windows in front of iChat (iChat is not the app listed in the menu Bar - not "front") then you may need to make iChat the "Front App" and check it's Window Menu at the bottom to see if it lists anything.
    It may also pay to use the Amber button on all other windows (puts things in the DOCK so you can see any Alert.
    Does clicking the icon bring the iChat app to the Front (Listed in the Menu Bar) ?
    Re 3)
    As you can see I suspect other things before we get this far.
    Summary.
    I still think iChat wants some Input to resolve an issue it has.
    I have explained some possibles based on the new information - where iChat is in the Start Up process as a whole and if the Buddy List Window is Hidden, plus whether iChat and any message Alert is Fully "Front".
    I have suggested that iChat be "lowered" in the Login Items list by removing it ad re-adding it.
    A better test would be to take it out and see if it does it on a manual start.
    I have suggested checking whether iChat is the "Front"/Menu Bar listed app and whether other windows are hiding a Alert Pop Up message.
    NOTES.
    I have this or something similar with Mail and iChat sometimes.
    One or other will lose connection with the server and request I fill in the Password pop up that occurs.
    Mail indicates the account in question with an icon.
    This icon will go away for a few seconds even if you type in the wrong password.
    iChat does not have such a visual clue.
    In both cases if either app cannot connect to the server then the pop up comes back and the icon bounces again.
    You did not say one way or the other about any pop up Alert message.
    Try to remember I cannot see every mouse move, head nod, hand wave at the Screen you would use if I were sat there.
    Imagine that you are telling your mother what you see over the phone as you do it.
    Better still imagine I want as much detail as you would give to someone who has never used a phone before.
    (I know it's pedantic )

  • When loading the program, the loading, circular icon will not stop. It seems like it is trying to load and can't.  Since Adobe tech support won't help with version 13, I need your help.

    I just bought this and was trying to load it for the first time and the circular icon just keeps flashing like it is trying to load and can't.  Most elements come up but I am wondering why it is still flashing like it is trying to load.
    At times, the drop down menus will not stay up.  When I click on them, they flash and then disappear.
    This is not a blank message.

    Not the help you're looking for -- sorry -- but I'm fighting a battle with Adobe tech support, too.  They won't help me with an issue involving using the program, but their site seems to indicate that tech support is available for download, install, & setup.  Check page: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html and try calling them again.  Good luck!

  • 20.0.1: File== New Window & New Private Window will not open then Firefox will not stop running when application is closed

    Although nothing appears to be happening when clicking on either New Window or New Private Window there seems to be processes started because when I try to close Firefox and reopen, I get an error message saying that Firefox is already running. My only option then is to stop the processes via Task Manager. I have tried (several times) to uninstall and reinstall.

    Although advised not to, I finally hit the reset button in the Save Mode Window. This corrected the problem. I suspect a faulty add-on - I try and reject many. I will add them back on at a time as I develop the need. Thanks for you help.

  • Laserjet 1200 will not stop running.

    I have a LaserJet 1200 as a back up printer.  It gets used once or twice a month and therefore is in great condition.
    This morning when I turned it on it started running and just won't stop!
    Any ideas why?

    The "Incoming Call" message is shown whenever we see a ring signal on the line, regardless of the fax receive mode.
    If this message is showing up when no fax is being sent, then it means that there is noise on the phone line.  You can contact your phone company to discuss options in reducing the noise on your phone line.
    If this message is showing up with no phone line plugged in, then the modem inside the printer is detecting noise.  It is possible that the internal fax parameters have become corrupt.  If that is the case, then you can perform a "Restore Defaults"  in order to reset them.  Note: doing this will erase all of your settings.  You can print out a configuration report before doing this so you can reset them.  A restore can be done at the control panel by pressing [Setup] on the main screen (the button with the wrench on it), then select "Service" and then "Restore Defaults."
    This is based on my own experience with the product.

  • Bursting - Job will not stop running

    Was testing out the bursting feature in BI Pub (Release 10.1.3.4) and after changing the Delivery Node I ran it again. This time the job has been running for over 2 hours. Since the job is only listed in my history, I cannot delete the scheduled job.
    Is there anyway to stop a job after it has already started running? Force it to fail out?
    Thank you.

    You can delete/stop/pause a Job that is scheduled to be executed in a future date.
    But you can not alter its state once is it is running, such
    functionality has not been implemented in BIP10g.
    Cheers

  • Compressord will not stop running

    Just today whenever I open fcp 7 the fans rev up and my CPU activity jumps to 50%-70% due to a process called "compressord."  Here's what I've tried:
    - Quit process.  Nothing
    - forcequit process.  Nope
    - quit fcp 7 and quit/forcequit.  Neither.
    - open compressor, clear history.
    - Forcequit again.
    - Logout of user.
    - Reboot machine. <---- successBUT:
    Upon starting final cut pro 7 again, the process returns.  Same system of elimination yeilds same results.  Only a reboot.
    I went through the activity history of the process and, while I don't know code, I did recognize a compressor batch process that I began about 2 weeks ago.  I remember the process completed and nothing was strange then.  Also today is not the first time I had opened final cut since this batch process had been submitted.
    PS - another culprit just hit my radar while typing this: qmasterqd
    What is going on? I really do not want to reinstall the entire studio because of this.

    Wow...I solved it!  already!  I never solve my own posts.  Woopi!
    Solution: RESET BACKGROUND PROCESS IN COMPRESSOR.  I was reading a forum located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/2555981#2555981
    The post that offered the solution I needed was this:
    Hey Alex ... I just tried this few minutes ago and so far i havent seen the not responding in the Activity Monitor yet. Try and Reset Backround Processing in Compresser from the menu. I think this should solve your problem, At least it did for me, At the moment
