Dock not re-appearing after hiding and no bouncing icons...

I thought that re-installing the OS from scratch would get rid of some of the bugs in Leopard ... but it seems that I was wrong.
I normally have my dock hidden. Under Tiger this was no problem because whenever I moved the mouse to the bottom of the screen the dock would instantly show up again ... like it is supposed to.
But sometimes in Leopard it does not show up at all unless I actually click the mouse button while I have the mouse at the bottom of the screen.
I also have programs like Mail and Adium bounce when I get messages and such. Again, under Tiger everything worked fine and I could see the bouncing icons while the dock was hidden. But in Leopard it only seems to work half the time and I only see the bouncing icons when I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to reveal the dock (and half the time I have to ... you guessed it ... click the mouse to get it to show)
Even the 10.5.1 update didn't do a thing to address this issue. This combined with the bugs found in Safari and Mail makes this a very buggy update to say the least. I'm loathed to say it ... but I had less problems with Vista. I cant believe Apple would actually release this update as it is.
Anyone else have these annoying little problems with the dock?

Can't say I do as dock is working fine for me.
But, have you tried to play with the dock preferences, changing them to something different, then back again to the settings you like, and then see if the problems persist?
If that does not work, try to locate in user/library/preferences the document com.apple.dock.plist, drag to desktop and delete. Then restart your computer, reset your dock preferences and see if the problems persist.
hope this helps

    If at any time you got a functioning system, take this opportunity to backup your files to a external drive (not TimeMachine) via drag and drop methods.
    It might be a more serious problem, like a failing hard drive.
    Look into the free Carbon Copy Cloner as a hold option bootable external drive clone, it helps in problems like this as you can boot the computer from the external drive and repair or recover your latest files and even reverse clone.

    I am disappointed with ios6 it has caused problems for my ipad connectivity .even after resetting apn ,network setting it is not connecting and showing 3G icon rather it shows E and speed is dead slow pls provide help at my email

    The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1.  Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

  • Motorola Services Contact re-appears after delete and multiple times

    I have owned this Motorola Droid 3 for a week or so and I am having problems with Contacts. I have successful syncs with gmail, but I don't know why some contacts continue to reappear and continue to be added in spite of deleting them and in spite of already having a contact with the same name. When one edits a contact I want which is in gmail, scrolling the edit page reveals multiple instances of the same contact labeled "Motorola Services Contac". Then if I delete this contact, after a couple of hours, the deleted contact re-appears with multiple instances again. The multiple instances continue to grow and eventually the contact application boggs down. Can anyone help?

    My gmail account contacts are the ones I want. The "Motorola Services contacts" list include the gmail ones, and ones that have been deleted. When I delete all the contacts in the phone by using an App (MyPhoneExplorer), the phone contact list ends up being the precise list that's in gmail, the list I want. A few hours later the "Motorola Services contact" list reappears. Apparently this happens every few hours, as you see repeated instances of all the "Motorola Services contacts" joined as I see by editing a contact. It is as the "Motorola Services contacts" are somewhere in the phone memory. My Backup Assistant list in verizon is empty. I guess I will visit the Verizon rep as I have cleared data areas in the sync services, and any other attempt I make does not cure this problem for me....  Al

  • PO not created automatically after creation and approval of SC

    Hi all,
    We are using SRM7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
    We are able to create Shopping Cart successfully.
    For items where a source of supply is not supplied, the Shopping Cart goes through the approval process and then into the sourcing Cockpit.
    But for the other Shopping Carts, PO is not getting created automatically after the approval of SC.
    Any ideas/suggestions on this issue would be highly helpful.
    Thanks,
    Priya

    Priya,
    Can you check this configuration in Sourcing  for particular PCat?
    *Automatic requirement grouping; sourcing for items without assigned*
    source of supply:
    Then run the report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED which will  automatically group requirements together for
    the creation of a PO.
    And,  If the requirement does not have a source of supply, it appears in the work list of the sourcing application for manual assignment. Once you have assigned a source of supply, you can submit the requirement to the report.
    Let us know if it works, and should help you this one.
    Thanks,
    Rahul Mandale

  • Dynamic Subform not showing up after saving and opening.

    After I fill out the pdf, save it, and open it, the dynamic subform does not appear. There are currently 2 subforms that are controlled by checkboxes and function in the following manner:
    -If the "No" checkbox is checked, the "SubmissionNo" subform should appear, the "Submission" subform should be hidden, and the "Yes" checkbox should be unchecked
    -If the "Yes" checkbox is checked, the "Submission" subform should appear, the "SubmissionNo" subform should be hidden, and the "No" checkbox should be unchecked
    Both checkboxes default to being unchecked and save properly, but after I close the pdf and then open it, the appropriate subform that should be showing is still hidden despite having the "Yes" or "No" checkbox being checked.
    I have the following script in the docReady of SubmissionNo:
    if (noCheckBox.rawValue=0){
    this.presence = "visible";
    else{
    this.presence = "hidden";
    and I have the following script in the docReady of Submission:
    if (yesCheckBox.rawValue=0){
    this.presence = "visible";
    else{
    this.presence = "hidden";

    That should work. You're missing semicolons after each statement and I thought that might be tripping it up but it worked fine when I tested it, every statement in JavaScript should end with a semicolon but if there is just one line I guess it works ok (see below).
    if (litstudiesckkbox.rawValue==1) {
         subform1.presence = "visible";
    else {
         subform1.presence = "hidden";
    When you are in Acrobat press CTRL-J and the JavaScript console should open. Then click the checkbox and see if any error messages appear in the console window.
    If that doesn't show anything if you can share your form via acrobat.com (or some other file sharing site) then I can take a look. If you use acrobat.com then once you have uploaded the file you need to select it and Share it and then Publish it, then you can paste the link here.

  • Prev. Systems Folder sizes and other folders appear after Arch and Install

    Five days ago I did a successful Archive and Install and I now have on my external HD not only the Previous Systems Folder but two other folders, one named 'home' and one named 'net' - both empty. They do not appear on my Internal HD.
    I have two questions:
    1- The Previous Systems Folder on my HD is 5.7 GB; the Previous Systems Folder on my external HD is 31.02 GB!! Why such a difference? (And no wonder my Deja Vu backups are taking 5 hours.)
    2-Is it OK to trash the empty 'home' and 'net' folders when I finally trash the Previous Systems Folders? Do they have any continuing purpose?

    Dedo wrote:
    The Internal system folder and my backup are the same, of course, because I backed up last night.
    The Previous systems on the external appear to contain all the same things as my System and my backup System except the dates are older on the Previous files.
    I have launched the multitude of applications I have on the Dock and all are fine. So are other apps and the many Utilities I've tried.
    Cool. So toss the Previous System Folder.
    BTW-I also have a folder on my internal HD just below Applications and Applications (Mac OS9) called BaseSystem.pkg.1637wIVhp. Do you know anything about that? It's 2 MB and has 50+ items in it mostly starting with com.apple.xxxx.enabled. Things like airportPrefsUpdater.enabled, coreservices, kernaleventmgr, reportcrash, periodic-daily, monthly, weekly.enabled.
    No idea.
    All carry the same date Jan. 22, 2008 and within a few minutes of each other except SystemVersion. plist which is about 3 mos. old Most are zero KB.
    Do you know where these came from?

  • Midpan is not mid pan after output and other minor problems...

    Ok, so I have this procjet I am working on.
    I have one sync with a man and one background audiotrack with a choir.
    In my headphones I hear a perfect midpan.
    The audiobar/VUmeters in FXPX shows exactly the same levels as eachother, since I have been using dual mono.
    When I export to a movie directly from FCPX I get about 75% left and 25% panning of audio in the exported file.
    After a couple of exports it magically starts working....
    However even If it is me that has done something wrong. I do not like the "what you hear is not what you get" feature...
    Anyone had this problem?
    Ohh and another thing that is realy annoying is that when I try to resize a window in the UI by dragging the middle bar I only grabs the window 1/3 of the times. I have to clich 2 to 3 times and reapeat, and then it works. Same goes with renaming clips that just refuses from time to time.
    Is this normal?

    OK. I found it. The project was set to surround by default. Setting it to stereo took care of pan problem.

  • Java option icon not displaying AND Java not working, even after deleting and re-installing Java

    Hi, I have uninstalled and re-installed Java. When I look at Add-ons, it shows Java Platform SE7 U17 10.17.2.2 and Java deployment Toolkit 7.0.17… 10.17.2.2 enabled. But it is not working – and I do not see the Firefox plugin to allow occasional use of Java.

  • B110a colour cartridges not working even after buying and installing new ones!!!!

    i have just got the B110a and have a persistent problem with the colour cartridges not aligning.  Despite numerous head cleanings and putting brand new cartridges in i still don't get any colour...........so far to try and resolve the problem i have done the following
    With the 'set-up' colour inks
    switched off and unplugged printer and laptop, powered everything up and tried again
    done numerous printhead cleans
    tried numerous alignments

    done numerous printhead cleans
    tried numerous alignments
    I'm at a loss, and pretty fed up   wish my trusty old Dell printer worked with the new laptop.......

    A new phone has a warranty.  So take it to an Apple store.  If they can't fix it, they will replace the phone.  Or do you mean: it stopped working after 9 days, but then you waited until the warranty ran out and then ask us?

  • Timed loop not starting - works after closing and opening project

    Refer the image below - a simple timed loop should run when the Run button is pressed. What happens is that the parallel vi runs (see arrow) but the vi inside the loop doesn't.  Both vi's shown run forever (i.e. the timed loop is only used to specify the CPU).  
    When I press the Abort Execution button, strangely it can then be seen that the execution highlighting runs into and through the timed loop and probe 50 is updated.
    This sorted itself out after I closed the project and opened it again so its not a critical issue - was simply wondering what could cause this?

    That program looks kinda weird.
    First of all, avoid to use flat sequence structures whenever you can, or use it only when you are going to initialize something, or when your program has an specific sequence.
    I think you have a problem the way you are conecting the subvis. Remember that in LabVIEW,  the flow of the data will determine the order of execution, and in your case, the conections looks kinda weird.
    I have a question; Do the subvis need to run simultainously?, or what do you need to do exactly

Maybe you are looking for
