Dock remains hidden after installing 10.4.6

After installing 10.4.6, the dock will no longer come out of hiding. The console.log read

jcaz,
Find the com.apple.finder.plist, and the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file in your ~Library/Preferences Folder. Drag these plist files to your Desktop, log out/in or restart.
If unsuccessful, can you duplicate this behavior if you create a new user?
Reinstalling the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC is an option if the behavior is observed in the new user account.

Dock remains hidden...

I like the feature that keeps the dock hidden on my ibook, but lately, when i move my mouse over the dock, it doesn't show up. After a reboot, the problem is solved, but it's only a matter of time before it's back again. If anyone knows why my dock is remaining hidden, please let me know.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

For some reason my dock does not auto hide when it is on the left of the screen, it works in all other places though. Try in a different place on the screen. Right now mine is on the top of the screen pinned to the right side.

Firefox desktop and start menu shortcuts were hidden after install - why?

Hi
I just installed Firfox 5 and after installing both the desktop shortcut and the start menu shortcut were marked as hidden in windows.
Anyone else experienced this and have any ideas what could have caused this. It was rather confusing.
I'm running on a brand new laptop (Dell XPS-17) running Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit). The only candidate I can think of is the computer came with McAffee, which I haven't used in years. It was appallingly bad back then but thought I'd give it a chance as Dell gave me 15months free.
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to suggest you try these steps to figure out what could be causing this problem.
1. Run Troubleshooter
Open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter
2. Create a new library and include fewer folders for test purpose. Now search for a file from that folder. See if it works.
Create a new library
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-new-library
3. Try to rebuild search indexing. Refer the steps from the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
Also you may use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to check the issue. The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

Dock not working after installing maverick

After installing Maverick on my Macbook Pro, my dock which is positioned at the bottom now freezes. Prior to update, just placing my cursor at bottom of screen would bring up the dock. Now, it either doesn't come up or I have to place my cursor down there several times before it finally pops up. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Revealing the Dock while in a full-screen app requires not only moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen, but keeping your finger on it or moving the cursor along the bottom edge (or other "tricks") to reveal the Dock.
SUPER ANNOYING TO ME
Many users may like that way of operation, perhaps a great majority. But hundreds of thousands may find it annoying to have this cognitive pause imposed and would rather have the dock appear accidently once in a while when moving the cursor close to the bottom area of the display.
This worked before Mavericks:
Setting the Dock autohide delay to zero (in Terminal, with write defaults...) removed this annoyance. As soon as your cursor's at the bottom of the screen, the Dock's there.
In Mavericks: Nothing to do! (so far)
APPLE: "You" make WRONG design decisions, "you" make professional users spend dozens of hours investigating how to tweak basic features behind the scenes. And THEN, "you" quietly invalidate those changes. Please, the best design decision that "you" could make is to give the user more choice. Please, give us a section in Preferences where these things may be changed. The religious dumbing down of the interface in favour of supposedly clean esthetics is plain WRONG.
It is also quite unacceptable that APPLE does read these pages but never responds.

MacBook sleep light remains on after installing ram

After installing 2x2G of RAM into my MacBook 4,1 the sleep indicator light remains on and the display in blank. My MacBook then properly booted after installing the old RAM. Any suggestions?

Try one new RAM stick with one old RAM stick. If it starts up then you've got RAM that was made with PCs in mind. PC are less picky than Macs about the speed of their RAM so 667mhz RAM is often overclocked to 675mhz and runs at variable speed to make it compatable with more PCs. PCs have the hardware to run the RAM at the speed that works best for them. MacBooks require RAM that only runs at 667mhz. By putting one good stick in it forces the other one to run at the correct speed.
These are good online stores for Mac RAM

Apple Mail Not Showing Inbox Unread Count on Dock after installing Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, my Apple Mail (connected to my work's Gmail account) stopped showing the Inbox's unread count on the dock. I switched it to "all mailboxes" to see if that would make a difference, and the dock shows 7 unread emails when there are actually none. When I switch it back to "Inbox" unread counts, it shows nothing. I've waited 15 minutes after receiving an email to see if it will show an unread message in the dock, but it does not. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thank you!

Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:
mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop
This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop. An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later). Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer.
After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.

Windows 7 BSOD randomly occuring after installing iTunes 10.6 with iPhone 4 in dock

After installing iTunes 10.6 and IOS 5.1 on my iPhone 4, Windows 7 computer was randomly blue screening with the iPhone 4 in the attached dock. After removing the phone from the dock, system works fine.

Re-installed iTunes as you suggested and it worked. However, started experiencing random BSOD's. Disk check found a number of file errors on the boot drive - which it fixed. It then took a number of re-boots before computer became stable.
Then, upgraded iTunes on a HP workstation (no iPhone attached). On reboot windows had to attempt a boot repair 3 times before it would reboot. Couldn't even do a disk check without first reverting to the last restore point. It also corrupted Norton. The end result was 2.5 hours of wasted time.
Being an expert pc user, I can safely say that I believe Apple has some serious issues with 10.6.

Internet not working after installing "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" driver

My Internet is not working after installing "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" driver although "Ethernet" and "wireless" say they're connected, still there is no internet.
I have bought a "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" as I need to use 2 thunderbolt based pieces of equipment on my "MacBook Pro"; which are a 2nd monitor as well as a Thunderbolt driven Audio Interface.
When I first plugged all my equipment to the "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" everything was working fine, all pieces of equipment worked as well as Ethernet from both the computer and the docking station were working perfectly.
However, when I inserted the "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station driver CD" and installed the drivers, the internet on my computer has stopped working. Although the Ethernet says it is "connected" (same goes for "Thunderbolt Ethernet" when cable is connected to it) still the internet does not work. Even my wireless internet is not working anymore. Furthermore, also after installing the Docking Station drivers, my iTunes is crashing whenever started.
Please help, this is really urgent.
I've been looking for answers all around but can't seem to find any.
I'm using OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
I've tried fixing stuff with Network preferences, like changing IP address, renewing DHCP leace.
I also tried typing IP address, Subnet Mask, Router and DNS Sever manually... Nothing seems to be working.
Note: I know someone could suggest to "uninstall" the Thunderbolt Station driver, however, I can't find an "uninstallation file", even the CD that came with the docking station does not have it.

I had exactly the same problem today, and I was lucky enough to solve it.
Here's what helped me:
First, I found a hint to Suspicious Package in this thread.
With Suspicious Package installed, I was able to identify the script in StarTech's installer pkg. It' called "postflight".
Amongst other things, postflight runs this command:
sudo mv usr/share/sandbox/mDNSResponder.sb usr/share/sandbox/_mDNSResponder.sb
A quick check in Apple's knowledge base revealed, that the mDNSResponder is essential to use DNS (i.e. to resolve server names like www.apple.com) and bonjour.
I moved th mDNSResponder back to where it belongs:
sudo mv usr/share/sandbox/_mDNSResponder.sb usr/share/sandbox/mDNSResponder.sb
After a reboot, everything worked fine again.
I have no idea, why StarTeck disables an essential tool. Let's assume it's an error ...
But after this experience, I didn't want the StarTech ethernet driver on my machine (I had installed it just for curiosity, anyway - yes, I know, I shouldn't have ...), so I removed the kext the installer had copied to my system:
sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8 2580.kext /Users/myusername
(You see I didn't delete the kext directly, I just moved it away and tried another reboot. Now everything works fine, so I'm going to delete the kext entirely and paint a big red cross on StarTech's installer disk.
Hope this helps.

Netflix Error W8158 After Installing ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock Software

I just bought a Yoga 13 with the Dock and it works quite well, except for this issue:
After installing the required software that came with the dock, certain Windows 8 Metro (full-screen) app stopped working. The most obvious was the Netflix metro app (downloaded from Store). The app starts normally, even takes you to your instant queue, but as soon as you start a stream, you get the W8158 error code, with the name of the failed driver in the text of the message.
I made several attempts to download the latest updates from Windows Update. However, none of this fixed the problem.
The Dock added an uninstall shortcut to the start screen, and I ran this uninstaller, but this did NOT correct the problem.
I then ran the OneKey restore (kodos! The recovery works beautifully), re-installed Netflix, and now all works perfectly. Unfortunately, I cannot use the Dock to use a second monitor. Not good.
Ultimately, I think this may be a Netflix App issue. Hopefully, someone will document a fix for this.

Have this same issue with a Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch.

Safari 3.1 remains in Soft Update after installing

And that on 5 different Macs.

Two things:
What do all these machines have in common? I am not getting this problem on any of my three machines.
Until you figure out what is going on, simply put the update on ignore.

Even if they are not a big problem, can anyone tell me how to get rid of the Palm and HP startup items. They are from old devices that I do not have anymore, and I would like to eradicate them from my system.

Startup items are in /Library/StartupItems/
You can delete them if you are an admin user. However it doesn't remove the actual software. The safest way to do that is to either use the manufacturers uninstaller or try to find uninstall steps listed on a forum or support site.
I'm inclear on 'Oplmgr' check that is up to date if you can, since it is using the old way to load a startup job.
Palm desktop is probably version dependant (check what you have)…

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/505278?start=0&tstart=0
Soundflower looks out of date? Grab the installer (with an uninstaller IIRC) and update or remove it.
LogMe In, TeamViewer & Splashtop are running jobs in the system level too, so I'd spend time checking they are up to date or removed if they are not needed.
The Launch Daemons and Launch Agents are 'system level, with your own user version too - User Launch Agents.
I would clean out the failed background job…
          [failed] [email protected]
It will be stored at…
~/Library/LaunchAgents/[email protected]
Use the Finders 'Go Menu > Go to Folder…' to open the hidden ~/Library & look in the LaunchAgents folder for the .plist & delete it.
Reboot for the Startup items to be unloaded.
