Dock show/hide and magnification sudden problem

MacBook (early 2009) running SnowLeopard from an external hard drive.
Suddenly this morning the dock froze in several respects. It wouldn't "show" automatically when moused to. It won't magnify when an icon is moused over. When the show/hide is turned off in the preferences, the dock displays with no magnification (regardless of magnification being on or off). I can launch a program from the stationary dock, THEN the magnification suddenly appears and won't go away from the screen until I switch to another program using cmd.-tab. What's going on and how can I fix this?

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

Dock "automatic hide and show" broken

Folks:
This morning I noticed the "automatic hide and show" of the Dock is broken. No matter how long I put the mouse pointer in the area of the Dock, it doesn't pop up.
There are only two ways I can access the dock now. One is to set the Dock size sufficiently big (about 40% or more seems enough) and it simply stays visible all the time. Another, if the Dock size is set lower than 40%, is to keep the Dock preference box open and manually toggle "Automatically hide and show the Dock" checkbox.
Hmmm, I see right now that the Dock is hidden, but the name of an application is displayed just above the bottom edge of the screen. This app is launched, but I've not used it at all this morning. Yep, show the Dock, the name is in the "right" place, but it should not be visible at all.
I tried re-starting the Finder. No difference.
I just updated to 10.4x recently, and applied the latest updates as they became available (Friday, I think), so it is hard to tell what to point a finger at...
OK, I'm going to restart and see if that helps... but shouldn't have to do this. Something got broken recently.
Henry
P.S. the OS pulldown doesn't show 10.4.8 so I can't use that to tell you I'm running 10.4.8.

Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility may help you.
Also, you can create a new user account and check things there.
Last, you can trash Dock preference file from your home directory:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Dock.plist

Need help with show/hide and layers moving

I'm more of a designer, so I don't know code or CSS well at
all. I'm doing an online portfolio for a class and need help with
layers not staying in place in different browsers. The portfolio is
created with a table, but I wanted to use the show/hide function
for thumbnails of work. Are layers the only way you can use this
function? I read layers don't work well with tables, so how else
can I make it so when you mouse over a thumbnail, the larger image
appears in another cell?

> I don't know code or CSS well at all.
That's unfortunate.
> layers not staying in place in different browsers.
Layers don't move. But the rest of your page does.
Before you get too wrapped up in layers, though, please read
this -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp
They are not good when be used as a primary layout method.
> I read layers don't work well with tables
They work fine with tables - but you have to understand both
tables and
layers to use them.
Why not show us your page, so we can see what you are
struggling with?

When I open a new tab, my pins do not show up, and I cannot find the square with the 9 boxes to turn it on at the top, what do I do

When I open a new tab, the page is blank, and I cannot view my pins. I tried searching for the box with the 9 squares in it at the top of the screen to turn it back on, but it does not show up. How do I get my pins back?

Hello,
First go to '''Tools''' >> '''Options''' >> '''Privacy''' >> '''Firefox will''' change to '''Remember history''', then go to '''about:config''' and search for '''browser.newtab.url''' change its value to '''about:newtab'''.

How to Show/hide the UI Elements in a WD Application

Hi,
I need to show/hide and control other properties such as required, readonly etc from UI.
Can somebody please tell me how I can do that as I am able to save and retrieve the fields from another UI, now the need is to apply them once the Application starts.
Thanks,
Rachit

Hi,
To show/hide UI elements follow below procedure.
1) define a attribute(VISIBLE in this case) element in the context of type WDUI_VISIBILITY
2) in the UI element properties(Visible) bind the above attribute with the element you want to make visible/Hide.
3) call below method to hide the UI element
    wd_context->set_attribute(
     EXPORTING
       name = 'VISIBLE'
       value = cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-none ).
4)     wd_context->set_attribute(
     EXPORTING
       name = 'VISIBLE'
       value = cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-visible ). for display.
You have to call these method at the right spot.
Thanks,
Sree.

Show-Hide element in Dreamweaver CS5

Please can you tell me why when I validate a web page I get the following error when using the Show-Hide behaviour. The error is only reported for the first use of the feature and no of the others. I don't understand.
Line 239,         Column 235:     there is no attribute "onload"…HideLayers('drive','','hide')" onload="MM_showHideLayers('drive','','hide')" /…
✉
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the       document type you are using does not support that attribute for this       element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"       document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use       the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or       by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this       is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in       the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no       supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error       message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,        (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or        check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or       use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the        <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the        FAQ item on valid flash.
Below is a copy of the relevant code -The code in bold is the line causing the error. You will notice I have used it more than once, but I didn't get any other error messages. Please help.

    <p class="size">These formations are in Death Vally, California, USA. Artist's Drive rises up to the top of an alluvial fan fed by a deep canyon cut into the Black Mountains. Artist's Palette is on the face of the Black Mountains and is noted for having various colours of rock. These colours are caused by the oxidation of different metals (red, pink and yellow is from iron salts, green is from decomposing tuff-derived mica, and manganese produces the purple). Called the Artist Drive Formation, the rock unit provides evidence for one of the Death Valley area's most violently explosive volcanic periods. The Miocene-aged formation is made up of cemented gravel, playa deposits, and much volcanic debris, perhaps 5,000 feet (1500 m) thick. Chemical weathering and hydrothermal alteration are also responsible for the variety of colours displayed in the Artist Drive Formation and nearby exposures of the Furnace Creek Formation.

Sometimes DW's javascripts will throw errors like that, most of the time it can be ignored.
What doctype are you using (the first line of your html)?
If you have a "Strict" Doctype, did you try changing it to a "Transitional" version as the error report suggested?

Hide and show dock problems

Hi all,
Can anyone help with my dock problem.
It wont show it's self anymore. I can turn off "Auotmatically hide and show dock" and it seems to function ok. But if i have that option selected it wont reveal, when i roll over the active area, it strobes/flashes the names of the applications but no dock.
Had same problem after several resarts and a night shut down.
yuk...
I'm running 10.3.9 with all updates, on a single 1.8 G5.
Thanks inadvance!

Hi s!, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and delete that file. Then log out and back in or restart. You will have to reset some Dock icons.
If that does not sort it, navigate to yourhome/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Again, log out and back in again or restart.

Hide and Show Region Problem

Hi,
I have created a report with the following attributes:
Region Definition User Interface - Hide and Show Region;
Report template -Standard;
Sort Columns - all checked.
Report source - SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL query).
I open a page with this report, click on (+) and show region but when I try to sort records in the column region hides. The same problem I have with some others report templates.
Report templates Borderless and Horizontal Border do not have this problem.
I am using Application Express 2.2.1.00.04.
Could someone explain what it is?
Thank you in advance.
Val

Report template -Standard
Use a "Standard - PPR" template instead, that works better with a Show/Hide region template because the entire page is not re-rendered when you click on a column header to sort. Only the report region content is refreshed.

Key stroke to hide and ahow dock no longer works

I can no longer hit the keystoke (appleoptiond) to hide and show the dock. I can hold the key combination down and make the Dock disappear, but when I release the keys, the dock re-appears (think of an icon/pogo-stick). I'm running 10.4.6 on Dual 2ghz G5 . . . It worked just last week . . . any thoughts?
P.S. I've run both Onyx and Applejack, and reset both the p-ram and keyboard shotcut defaults . . .

Yadz,
And when you hit the same key combo, does the doc re-appear? Unfortunately-Yes...
If the plist removal did not work there is one more simple troubleshooting step you can try. Open Activity Monitor, find Dock and use the "Quit Process" command. The Dock will relaunch automatically. You could also repeat the plist removal procedure.
Are there any Keyboard Shortcuts in the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference that can explain the problem?
If none of that works create another user test account. Can you replicate the errant behavior in that new test account?
;~)

Can't open show / hide dock after 10.6.4 update

I choose to hide my dock in systems prefs. When I do, I move my mouse to the bottom of the screen to see if it pops up and it won't show. This never happened to be before the update. Also selecting things has gone all wonky. When I click on my downloads folder, it acts as if I'm still holding down the mouse. This also makes it incredibly difficult to navigate flash websites. Thoughts?

I've upgraded to 10.6.4 and I don't seem to have your problems. Try un-checking hide dock in preference and checking it again.

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).
Hope it works for you to...
