How do I get the Dock  to not block icons?

My dock is blocking my icons. Isn't there a setting to keep it seperate instead of allowing it to overlay icons?

From what I understand the only way to officially run the macbook with the lid closed (aka clamshell mode) is to connect it to an external display...same as the powerbooks. That said, there are probably some hacks out there to modify this. I remember one for the ibook called InsomniaX.
Here's one link to a recent article on macbook clamshell mode.

Good Luck!

  • How do you get the Touch to not shuffle a playlist?

    I created a playlist for a class I teach, in a specific order. When I go to play it, it shuffles the playlist even though I did not hit the shuffle button. What am I missing? The shuffle is there to "shuffle" if I ask it to, so why is it doing it when I don't? Makes it hard to teach when it keeps changing the order.

    The problem may not be Shuffle. iTouch changes the order of my playlists when they are put in a folder for syncing or transferring from iTunes to the iTouch - before they are ever transferred/synced. I am still trying to find out how to get it to maintain the order I set up when I created the Playlist of Songs in the first place in iTunes on my Mac. Very annoying and frustrating and that goes for the rather paltry instructions offered with this $300 device, too.

  • How do you get the dock to unhide? I've tried everything

    My dock disappears everytime I go onto the internet but appears when I click off of of the webpage. I've been to my system preferences and everything says that hiding is off. Please help. I also can't see the bar at the top either.

    If the browser is in full screen mode then exit by pressing esc.  The dock always hides with apps in full screen mode.

  • HT4527 My old mac book was backed up to a Time Machine drive.  That Macbook is dead.  I have a new Mac Mini.  How do I get the iTunes library (not just the music files but all other data...playlists, ratings, etc) on the new Mac from my Time Machine?

    My old Mac died. I had it backed up to a Time Machine external drive (fortunately).  I have a new Mac. I want to get my entire iTunes library from the Time Machine drive to the new Mac. I want not only the music files but all the "library" metadata, playlists, song rankings, unique genre designations. How do I do this?

    No backup is a huge mistake.

    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    *Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    *Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    *Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"

  • How can I get the file menu NOT to display in the title bar?

    For Firefox I know I can go into about:config and set "browser.draw.tabs.defaultDrawInTitlebar" and "browser.draw.tabs.DrawInTitlebar" to false, but I have no idea about Thunderbird since I don't know how to access the about:config page or if there even is one.

    You can access about:config from Options > Advanced > General > Config Editor.

  • How much will getting the dock connector on my ipod replaced cost?

    My iPod went through the wash and still works but the port is damaged so that it can't sync with itunes and it charges very slowoly.  When I compare my iPod port to my friends it's easy to tell that some of the posts are broken ot bent so I'm pretty sure thats the problem.

    Apple at this time does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the port for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". It is also possible to purchase parts and find instructions on doing a repair yourself, though it's not particularly easy. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform a repair yourself, all further support from Apple will be void.
    Regards.

  • On a shared computer how do I get the userid to not be saved in the logon for mail.

    When I log onto my yahoo or google mailbox - the userid is saved. I don't want that to happen as it is a shared computer. It doesn't save passwords, just the user id.

    I cleared out all the cookies and changed my parameter to delete cookies when I closed Firefox. I then closed my browser and reopened it...logon or userid was still there. Thank you for your reply though.
    I tried earlier to use privacy browsing and when I did I wasn't able to log into my google mailbox at all.

  • I cannot get the info bar (not the dock) on the top of my screen to permanently appear without my having to put the cursor on top of screen. Then it appears. Don't even know what that is called...above the open window.

    How do I get the area above the open window to display information (as in closing that specific window, "Safari  File Edit View History, etc.) without having to attempt to put the cursor on it to give me that info? I am not referring to the dock which is at the bottom of my screen. Although,It too, is not  visible.
    They were both visible before today.
    Sorry, but I have no clue as to what this topic should be.

    When you do Safari to it's maximum size on the screen (with the two little arrows in the Safari top menu bar on the right), Safari will take the whole screen including the top Apple menubar. In that menubar is the same set of little arrows to bring Safari back to it's previous size (which you can set by moving it's borders), you bring the Apple menubar in sight by moving the mousepointer to the top of the screen, when you do not want to loose that apple menubar, you can set Safari as bog as you can by moving its borders but just until below the apple menubar. Don't touch the little arrows in Safari menubar.

  • My download did not work. how do i get the app i bought?

    How do I get the app I bought but download failed, but is marked downloaded?

    Hey there petertoledo,
    It sounds like an application was downloaded from the Mac App store but it is not working correctly, and you cannot redownload it. Use the following info to delete the incomplete/non working application first:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph11356
    Uninstall apps
    To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
    To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your computer. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
    Then download it again from the Mac App Store with the following article:
