Hiding dock that won't come out!!

I had my dock hidden on the left side of my screen and magnified. I came and opened my computer and the dock wouldn't show up. I got to system preferences to make it show up but now the magnification won't work.

Hi devithedino, and a warm welcome to the forums!
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Then reboot once more.

  • I have inserted a non supported CD that won't come out of the DVD player

    How can I get the non-supported DVD to eject?  Nothing happens when I hit the eject button.

    Actually, what I did after that didn't work, I found the eject "up-arrow" near the CD list. When I hit that it ejected!

  • I've got music on my 4s that I can't get out of my phone. I've deleted it from ITunes and tried to manually and automatically remove (sync) and it won't come out of my phone It's gone from ITunes

    Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
    You need to put the files into itunes.
    Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

  • IPod Touch 3G in DFU Mode and won't come out

    Hello,
    My daughter's iPod Touch 3G appears to be in DFU mode, but won't come out. The screen is completely black, and when I attach it to the computer, it comes up with the message "iTunes had detected as an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." When I hit the restore button, I receive the error message "software for this iPhone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again."
    I've seen this message posted several times in the forum, and I have tried all the troubleshooting tips offered by Apple Support and in the answers to some of the questions. I am a Systems Engineer, so I consider myself pretty technically savvy. These are the steps I have followed so far:
    1) Completey removed and reinstalled iTunes according to the instructions provided by Apple.
    2) Downloaded the firmware for both the 3G and IOS4 from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and attempted a manual install - when I do this, I receive the error message, "the iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored because the firmware is incompatible"
    3) Downloaded RecBoot to attempt to exit recovery mode, but it does not appear to be detecting the iPod.
    4) Attempted to exit and re-enter DFU mode several times to no avail.
    5) Called Apple Express Lane and was willing to pay the 1 time phone support charge, however the agent told me that he could not help me, and that I needed to take the iPod into an Apple store (the iPod is 190 days out of warranty).
    My last effort is to try the install from another PC. So, prior to taking the iPod into the store, I was wondering if anyone has had any success other than the steps I have tried above. I'm appreciative for any assistance anyone is able to provide.

    Check the model number on the back, "A1318" = 3G, "A1288" = 2G. If it truly is a 32GB 3G Touch, then you're going to have a rough time going back to an iOS version earlier than the current release (4.3.1, available from iTunes). The iOS packs you get from the site you mention are not "signed" and you probably won't be able to install them ... I think 2G owners have better luck with those "unofficial" versions.
    So, if you have a 3G, your best bet is to erase (or move) all earlier iOS versions and let iTunes download a fresh copy of 4.3.1 for the iPod -- no need to go to a 3rd party site. If you have a 2G, then the latest version you can install is 4.2.1, which is also available from iTunes. To increase your odds of this working out, you might temporarily disable any AV software and firewall(s).

  • Toner won't come out LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425

    toner won't come out LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425. It's stuck inside.

    I am sure it is stuck on the right side.  Odds are also that it is an aftermarket toner and not an hp original.  That said it will not be easy to remove.  You will have to do a google search for the service manual.  The right side cover needs to come off and it is not easy since the back, top and control panel need to come off.  Once you have the right side cover off you will see a big while gear behind the metal plate that holds the gear assembly to the right side.  You need to turn that gear by hand a little and it should free up the toner to come out.  When you remove the toner you will see a sort of bell housing metal piece that hangs on the right side of the toner.  That assembly fits down the right side and locks into the mech that turns the toner drum.  If that piece has defect it gets stuck.  Good Luck.  First thing I would try is to unplug the printer, then plug the printer back in and let it come to ready and open the door to see if the toner now comes out.  Sometimes turning the printer off and then back on will turn that gear by itself and free that piece.

  • Ink black won't come out printing my tax filing.

    I was gonna plan to do tax filing and needed to print out but ink black won't come out... i have to clean cartidige with tissue paper with alcohol... but won't working... black ink appers half plently of more ink inside. What I am going to do with that?

    Hi @deafchubbbear77,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I'll do my best to help with your Deskjet 3052a not printing black ink
    Please start with the steps within this Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Deskjet 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series document.
    If that doesn't seem to do the trick you may want to try cleaning the cartridge contacts, but make sure to just use water. Alcohol will dry out the contacts and may cause further problems in the future.
    If that still doesn't work, that black cartridge may need to be replaced. To see if it's eligible for replacement, contact our technical support team via phone and inquire.

  • My Ipod touch won't come out of recovery mode or appear on Itunes!!

    My Ipod gen 5 won't come out of recovery mode. When I plug it into the computer, the ipod device won't show up on itunes and I have tried closing it, and it still wont show up on Itunes or get out of recovery mode! Please help me!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iMac goes into sleep mode, won't come out until I unplug and replug the computer then hit the power button. Just hitting the power button alone won't restart the iMac.

    My Imac goes into sleep mode but won't come out.  The keyboard/mouse won't rouse it and the power button won't do it either.  I have to unplug the computer, re-plug it in and then hit the power button.  Help?

    I looked around the internet and found an old post that seems to have solved the problem.  I had a relatively new USB port (powered) that I unplugged and, ta da, the problem disappeared.  I'm not sure why this happens (I'm not a tech person) but it seems like this should have been worked out in testing somewhere.

  • Jail-broken iPhone 4S won't come out of recovery mode after attempted ios 7 update

    So I've had my jail-broken iPhone for a while and decided to go for the ios 7. After deleting 200 songs, 400 pictures & videos, and countless apps and other useless data to get the necessary free space to upgrade, I was finally able to download it. It went into recovery mode (showed the iTunes logo and the USB cord) shortly afterward. I plugged in my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes came up, but as I tried to restore the phone to upgrade to the ios 7, an error appeared saying the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporary unavailable". I've tried a LOT of stuff, from simply restarting my laptop to trying DFU mode like 200 times, and it keeps saying the same thing. Now I'm basically phoneless because it won't come out of recovery mode.
    Does this have anything to do with it being jailbroken and not backed up prior to attempting to upgrade? Please help!

    Yes, it is directly related to j'breaking it.  And as such, you will get no further support from Apple and we cannot help you either.  Use an internet search to try to find a solution elsewhere.

  • New Mini - Firewire plug is stuck and won't come out

    Hi,
    This is a virtually new Mac Mini; A firewire plug from my 20" Cinema display is stuck in the firewire port and won't come out. (I'm trying to disassemble this mini to move to another location.)
    I'm trying very hard not to pull too hard because I don't want to damage the firewire port. But I don't know what to do - it's just stuck and won't come out.
    Any ideas? Many Thanks,
    Frank B.

    Well, I finally got it out after fiddling with it, and walking away several times. I had to make sure I didn't damage it, so I approached it very gingerly.
    How did I get it out? It's amazing what actually worked. What worked was grasping ONLY the firewire chord about 1 to 2 inches away from the plug and pulling Only on the chord straight out.
    Doing it this way, it popped out with very little resistance. Strangely, the Apple Cinema Display firewire plug almost seems to click when you plug it in.
    So I immediately tested a generic firewire plug (non-Apple related) and it plugged in and pulled out with no problems or resistance whatsoever.
    "This completes my test of the Apple Cinema Display Firewire plug." (a joke there)

  • I have an older Ipad that won't come on to the passcode screen. It's just a black screen. What can I do with it?

    I have an older Ipad that won't come on to the passcode screen. The screen is black like it is trying to come on, but it doesn't. I tried hooking it up to Itunes, but since it has a lock on it I can not get it to do anything. Is there anything that I can do with it at this point? I have tried doing the hard reboot, but nothing comes up on the screen. The one time that it did come on the colors were very distorted. TIA

    Google for DFU mode and try that.

  • I have a Galaxy S3 and love this phone but here at my new home which has absolutely no trees of bushes blocking anything, my phone calls are dropped ALL THE TIME and it's driving me crazy.  Verizon finally said that they would come out and boost the signa

    I have a Galaxy S3 and love this phone but here at my new home which has absolutely no trees of bushes blocking anything, my phone calls are dropped ALL THE TIME and it's driving me crazy.  Verizon finally said that they would come out and boost the signal but haven't seen anyone in two weeks.  I have called Verizon tech help for one year to get help with this, either trade phone or something.  I am so frustrated!  I picked Verizon for the clear calls and coverage inside hospitals and buildings but it's been terrible.  I have had three of these phones replaced.  I need a different model like the S4 or the S5 I think cause it's something in this model.

    Verizon is quickly becoming the worst cell phone company out there.  To read all of these pleas from your loyal customers is just so sad and pitiful.  You need to be sued for your data overage charges that you are intentionally imploding on your customers.  They have pleaded, very intelligently, with you to do something to fix the issue and you willingly have NOT.  As is with my reception issue that I was promised a signal booster for two months ago, so is this issue with the data.  You don't follow up and solve the issues.  Therefore the courts will find you fraudulent. When I was promised by your super tech that I needed a signal booster and he was sending it out overnight at no charge to me, I was relieved that it would finally be taken care of so I wouldn't lose faith with Verizon.  Well, that was two months ago now with no record of it ever being ordered or on my file anywhere.  I have since called three more times with hours of conversations about that issue and two more techs have told me they were sending me a signal booster with no follow up what so ever.  WOW!  That's pitiful!  You may not care now, oh but you will later when you lose lots of money and business.

  • My laptop won't come out of sleep

    I have the Macbook Pro w/ retina display and whenever I go to open it, my laptop won't come out of sleep and I have to hold the power button to turn it off then back on again. I have to do the same thing if I walk away from it for to long and the laptop goes to sleep except this time when I bring it out of slepp it just shows the enter password for user screen but it is frozen. I got my laptop on the 8th of June 2013 so it is practicly brand new. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

    Brand new out of the box this shouldn't happen. Bring it to an Apple store or AASP.
