Downloads shortcut keeps reappearing

Is anyone else having an issue with 10.8.2 where the Downloads shortcut keeps reappearing next to the trash bin on the dock after you delete it? I delete it daily and every time I reboot it's back... This started after I updated to 10.8.2 and it is making me crazy.
I don't if this is one of these weird issues where Apple re-creates a plist file with this preference on boot or login with some varible for the Download shortcut.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hello,
Try this. Delete the Shorcut again.on Finder Menu>Go hold Alt/Option. Select Library. Look for Saved Application State. Delete com.apple.findersavedState. Reboot
If that doesnt work and if its ok with you resetting the dock then might aswell deleting the preference list of dock.
On Users Library>Preferences and drag the com.apple.dock.plist on the desktop and restart.

  • Old shortcuts keep reappearing

    I Have an iPhone 6 and I use an iPad mini. After they have been recharged and in contact with the icloud all my old numbers and shortcuts keep coming back along with credit card numbers that have expired. When I edit and delete them, they come back the next time I recharge. This happens on both my mini iPad and iPhone. All my old iPads and iPhones have been turned off. How do I sort this out for good because it can't be that hard to solve. I need to know where shortcuts are stored on the iCloud so I can permanently edit and save. I can't believe this is an uncommon problem.

    This is still an issue in iOS 8.3. I think it has to do with multiple devices syncing the shortcuts. This past weekend I cleaned up the shortcuts (yet, again!!) and they were all gone for more than 24 hours but on Monday they were back. On Monday I booted up my Macbook Pro 10.10.3. I have an iPad that I use regularly which appears to be in sync with the iPhone. I checked the shortcuts on the Mac and it doesn't show some of the ones I added to the iPhone this weekend. This could be an issue with 10.10.3 syncing rather than iOS 8.3 syncing.

  • Mail deleted massages keep reappearing

    I am a Mavericks operating & macbook user. I have noticed that every time I use Mail and delete unwanted messages, they keep reappearing again.
    Is there a way to make Mac Mail is the Master and Yahoo/Gmail/Outlook is the slave, so that every action taken in Mail will be reflected in its relative mail box?
    Regards,

    Hello Joe.
    What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
    Certain messages keep re-appearing in my inBox, even when I delete them.
    You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
    Mail is only receiving some of the email messages sent to me.
    Do you have any custom rules? It looks like Mail is downloading all the messages, but your rules are processing them in an unexpected way...
    Open the Account Info window by choosing Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that it doesn’t download? Do they appear as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)?

  • Empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash

    Hello,
    An empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash each time I boot my iMac.
    Is there any way to prevent this empty folder from constantly reappearing?
    Thank you and regards,
    Olivier.

    I think this issue started in Tiger, however there was some freeware that would automatically empty the Trash on start up. I downloaded that software and it worked. It was called "RecoverTrasher". It worked with Snow Leopard, at least until last week when I had to delete my entire preferences file due to an unrelated issue. Now it no longer works on my iMac.
    There is still a link to RecoverTrasher at http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/RecoverTrasher-Download-9415.html/, however, I don't know if it works with 10.6.4. This version is 1.4, and it still references "Tiger", but I downloaded it and put it into my log-in items, shut down and then restated. The icon for it briefly appeared in the dock, and the trash is empty, so it appears to have worked at least this first time with Snow Leopard.
    I don't have any relationship with the author of the software, and don't make any representations about the software.

  • HT204003 how do I permanently delete a pass from my passbook account? (It keeps reappearing after being deleted.)

    I have a pass in passbook that keeps reappearing after being deleted. It pops up (location sensitive) despite the fact that I have disabled the location services, repeatedly. I need to permanently delete it.

    Hi, sophiaskoub.
    Thank you for the question.  The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer.  See the first article on how to disable this feature.  The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

  • Song appears in itunes, delete but keeps reappearing

    song appears in itunes, delete but keeps reappearing. the song is youth from foxes downloaded from the itunes store for free , even though i delete it from either the ipod 5th generation itself or if i connect it to itunes and delete it from their every time i delete it , it will reappear in itunes if a resync. and theirs two copies of it idk why. i want to delete the song from itunes, i know the song will keep appearing on the ipod because of apples stupid idea trying to make me redownload it. the songs are both shaded in grey. solution plss

    Best route here is to focus initially solely on the iTunes Library.  Once it has all the Songs that you want, turn off iTunes Match, sign out of iTunes Store and restart the computer from cold.
    Moving to the iPhone would suggest a restore and fresh link to the library post the following steps.
    1.  Sign in to iTunes Store;
    2.  Turn on iTunes Match - allow 3-step process to run to completion;
    3.  Make secure backup of library;
    4.  Force iPhone in to restore mode - hold down 'power on/off' with 'home key' for 10 seconds
    5.  Attach iPhone via USB to computer and follow 'restore' instructions in iTunes
    6.  Once complete synchronise with library as required
    At this stage all required Songs should be on the iPhone - post iPhone back-up a good point to fully enable iTunes Match on the iPhone if required.

  • The thunderbolt firmware 1.2 update keeps reappearing. I have a MacBook Pro and 2011 Thunderbolt display. Did not discionnect when upgrading to Yosemite (only read the instructions later). Thanks.

    Hi There,
    I have a MacBook Pro (late 2011) and a Thundertbolt Display. I have recently upgraded to Yosemite. Since then Thunderbolt Firmware update 1.2 keeps reappearing and I cannot complete the update (with and without display connected etc.). Any advice? Thanks.

    Hello HTG65,
    If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing try reinstalling it following the steps in this article.
    Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing and Thunderbolt ports and Target Display Mode may not work - Apple Support
    To resolve this issue:
    Shutdown your computer.
    Disconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
    Wait 10 seconds.
    If you are using a Mac mini with a Thunderbolt display, reconnect the Thunderbolt display directly to your computer via the Thunderbolt port. Do not connect other Thunderbolt devices at this time.
    Restart your computer.
    If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 is offered, download and install it and restart your computer when asked. If the Thunderbolt Update is not offered, the update has installed correctly.
    Reconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • When downloading Itunes, keep getting system error, have had it on this computer before

    when downloading Itunes, keep getting system error, have had it on this computer before

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • TS3899 Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

    Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

    Did you have Hotmail set-up with Android prior?  I did, and if you did too, you have the same problem, and this is how to solve it.
    From your desktop computer, the Hotmail (or Outlook) website uses the folder "Deleted" for your deleted messages as default.  On your iPhone, the deleted folder's name by default is "Trash".
    When I had my Hotmail with Android, it created a folder Trash for deleted messages, and it's creation was amongst all my folders.  So when you go back and look at Hotmail from your desktop, you will see a folder Trash, in addition to the default Deleted.  My Trash folder had all the emails I deleted from my Android.
    That said, with the manual folder Trash that was created, when trying to set-up Hotmail now on iPhone, because I already had a folder Trash, it conflicted with the default "Trash" folder it wanted to created, so it didn't create it, being the reason why you can't delete emails, because it doesn't have the defaulted "Trash" folder to go to.
    The solution is to delete the folder "Trash" from your desktop, uninstall Hotmail from your iPhone, and re-install, and it worked, the defaulted "Trash" was then created, alongside the "Sent" and "Junk".

  • The files in download folder keeps adding _b to the file name

    I have a strange problem when downloading files on my Macbook Pro(running Mavericks). The name of the files being downloaded or already downloaded to the Download folder keep growing like this:
    Say for a file called My_file_name.zip, the system keeps adding _b to the name, it becomes
    My_file_name_b_b_b_b...._b.zip.
    And for big files, frequently I get the error message saying the file could not be downloaded due because there is no enough disk space. However the file is infact downloaded. I just need to highlight the .download and select Show Package Content, and copy the real file out of it. Howerer this is very annoying.
    This problems seems only happens when download files to the default Downoad folder. When downloading to other user selected folders, everything works fine, Please help if you know how to fix this issue.
    Thanks

    I get the error message saying the file could not be downloaded due because there is no enough disk space.
