Dock intermittently missing only on bottom

my dock which I keep on the bottom randomly disapears. hovering or holding the mouse down where it should be does not bring it back. I have to instead go up to the menu and place the dock on the left or right of the screen and then after it appears go back and set it to appear on the bottom. this is EXTREMELY annoying and has been happening (I think) since one of the last two mavericks system updates. Alternatively it may have been happening since I added my tv as a second screen. HOWEVER, its not currently being used as a screen when the disappearances occur. the reason I think it might be linked to the addition of a second screen is because the mouse also disapears to the right.
so, if the dock is also disapearing to the right...to a phantom second monitor...how do I get this to stop when I am not using the tv as a second screen? and why doesnt OSX mavericks know this? Do I have to literally turn off that feature and only turn it on when I use the tv as second screen? and if yes..IDK how to do that as Ive looked at the system menu for displays and I dont see a way to "ignore" a second menu other than unplugging it and plugging it when I want to use it. thats also annoying.

yeah, it forces it to shut down, but when it turns on again, everything is exactly the same.
A fried suggested reinstalling the OSX disks, would that work? I've backed everything up by copy and pasting it onto a memory stick.

ICal icon in the dock partially missing, only number shows

Hi there, my dad was messing around with iCal today, trying to drag it somewhere else, and I think he broke the icon for it.
The paper, rings, and red bar in the iCal icon won't show up. The only thing that shows up is the number 11 and the word Nov, which are today's date.
I found an icon file called "App-empty.icns" inside iCal's resources folder (when you right-click "show package contents") that looks like just the paper without the numbers. It seems like this icon is the "behind" part of the iCal icon, meaning the paper and rings, and the numbers are the "in front" part of the icon, but only the "in front" part is showing up, if that makes any sense.
I've tried dragging it out onto the desktop then opening iCal, but that didn't work. Computer restart didn't work either. When you launch iCal, the icon snaps back into shape like it's supposed to look, but when you quit iCal, it goes back to its ghost mode where it only shows the number and the month, sans the paper.
Any help would be lovely, thanks.
Evan

Did anyone resolve this problem?
I have a client who has a partially missing iCal icon on the dock. it appears to have just the number of the month in black and nothing else!
also when you open the iCal app, the icon then turns 'normal'. But another issue is that
all the current month's appointments are missing until you move the calendar one month ahead,
and then back again to the current month. Then, mysteriously, all the appointments re-appear in
the current month.

Dock is missing and Mac is very, very slow????

Hello,
I am having a problem with my Mac at the moment.
It is very slow to start up - or to do anything in fact - and the Dock is missing!!! I am only able to open the Finder Window but I cannot access anything else because everything is so slow.
I have tried restarting, but the computer doesn't shut down unless I force it to with the power button.
Also, the Dock preferences - such as Hiding and Postition - are not ticked and I cannot change them.
Can somebody please help?
Regards

Maybe,maybe not, depending on the kind of Mac we have here...
You must repair the HD, if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

Flashing Gray screen on my desktop and my dock is missing, whats happening?

Hi. I got this problem while ago, when I start it up and log in on my admin account I have this gray screen flashing on my desktop and my dock is missing. But I can still access almost everything but what the **** gray screen flashing is annoying and I dont know where my dock goes. Anyone knows what is happening on my laptop? Thanks.

Sounds like you have assistive services activated (There is a three finger short cut you may have in accidentally pressed)
Check Accessiblity in system preferences
under display make sure Grayscale is not checked
under audio make sure flash display is not checked
As for the dock make sure you haven't got it hidden by placing mouse pointer to each of the left/right and bottom screen edges
If not go to the following folder in finder.
Open Finder window and mouse and click to the Go menu to view list of actions. On your key board press the Option (alt) key and you see a extra action location added after Home - this is the hidden library folder in your Home directory
This contains all sorts of personal setting preferences
Now continue to hold down the option key and mouse click on the Library item to open the contents in the main finder window.
Within the window locate and open the folder - Preferences
Locate this file from within
com.apple.dock.plist
move this to the trash
Shut and restart your Mac
The default dock setting will appear - Empty trash
Tell us how it goes.

My ipod touch has stopped playing through my Sony docking station, It only plays through i pod. It's not the docking station as my daughter's ipod works fine on it. It can synch when connected to computer. Any ideas what is wrong?

Have discovered that I had not in fact updated the ios!!
Went through the process last night and my ipod now works fine on my docking station.
Thank you very much for your advice.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

RoboHelp 7 - Intermittently missing the space after bolded text in

We've converted a project of 800+ topics to RoboHelp 7 and
updated our software with the new latest patch 7.01.001. The funky
character issues have gone away but now, we noticed that we're
intermittently missing the space after bolded words. I've check the
HTML code and it is the coding is the same for all of the bolded
words within a topic, yet one word will be missing space and all of
the other bolded words won't.
This applies to topics that were created in RH7 before the
patch as well topics that were coverted from RH5 to RH6 and then to
RH7. Also, applies to topics to were originally imported into RH5
or RH6 from Word.
The formatting looks like this: "It does not post in PARA or DBS.
Sometimes, I see the end code is
 --or -- 
<spaces>
I've also seen word 
Problem is that it is inconsistent and we have over 800
topics within our project. To check each topic in the generated
version and then go back to Edit will take forever.

How can I make Zotero fill the screen instead of only the bottom half?

I installed Zotero program but it occupies only the bottom part of my screen. How do I enlarge it and remove the Firefox part in the upper half?

Does your email site have a print button to format the page for printing? That often gives the best results.
If this just started with Firefox 4, it could be related to a change in how strict Firefox is about a page's HTML code. To see whether this problem is caused by the new HTML5 parser, you can turn it off like this:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).
Then return to your mail site, reload the page, and test again. (Print Preview might be sufficient for testing.)
Does that make any difference? If so, the site might not yet be fully compatible with Firefox 4 -- or you have found a bug in Firefox.

Dock OPTIONS bar to the bottom in CS4?

Is it possible to dock OPTIONS bar to the bottom of the window in CS4?
I couldn't do it

It's a weakness in how the new interface calculates positions of docked items. Maybe it gets fixed/ changed for CS5. I have my own peeves with the system, but in Dreamweaver. We all have our small burdens to bear, I guess. ;-)

I dropped my phone in juice. Only the bottom was submerged in orange juice. How severe is this and what do I need to do?

What do I do? I dropped my iphone 4 in a cup of juice. Only the bottom was submerged. I turned it off immediately. THe speakers sound like they are busted like when you bust speakers in a car. When it rings it is ringing and vibrating and cutting in and out.

Hey, I just dropped my iphone 4 in a half-full cup of iced-tea last night. Only the bottom half was submerged for like 1 sec. I imediately dryed it off with a towel and stuck it in a bowl of white rice. When should I take it out? And what should I do if it doesn't word properly? Please help

Safari cover flow only displays bottom half of window

Help! The cover flow in safari only displays bottom half of the window, see the picture below,
However, those pages that can not be previewed show in full height of the window:
Any solution would be highly appreciated!!!

Ok..
Maybe an extension or plugin issues...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extensions issue, back to the menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Security.
Deselect: Enable plug ins. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, then you have one or more Safari add ons causing this.
Follow the instructions for troubleshooting plugins here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If it's not a plugin issue, go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .pilst file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

Dock Icons Missing after running Onyx

Hello Folks,
I just ran Onyx and did a restart. I now have about 12 of my dock icons missing, can anyone tell me what I need to do to restore them?
Many thanks,
Jim

I tried just clicking on each icon that was gone, and as I did with each one, they came back to normal. In my case where each icon was there was a blank icon in its place, that I clicked on.
