How do I make an app running in the background appear in the dock?

I've tried searching the rest of the web, but all I can find is how to pin an app to the dock. I already know how to do that.
What I want to do is make an app that doesn't appear even when it's running (my specific case is SugarSync) appear as an icon in the dock. I know I can get to it by either clicking or right-clicking on the mini icon on the right side of the menu bar, but I want to be able to switch to it using the dock or open-apple+tab, like I can with everything else.

It depends on the data path from the tower you're using, through NATs and many routers, all the way back to the server. Which depends on your current location and sheer luck.
For some users, the data path stays alive for 30-45 minutes at a time... thus the phone only has to ping the server that often for push to work. Their push doesn't use much battery.
Other users have the misfortune of being connected via pathways that only keep a connection alive for 5-10 minutes. Their iPhones eat battery like crazy, and they usually end up switching to a 15-30 minute timed fetch instead.

How do i make a certain IM like Adium automatically appear in my dock?

I've downloaded Adium but i have to look click it from the application menu for the icon of adium to appear on my screen's dock. I've downloaded skype and it automatically appears on m dock every time i start my computer. How do you I make the icon automatically on my dock?

Simply drag the application icon onto your dock and drop it.
You can even go as far to have the program automatically start up when the computer boots up by right click on the application's icon and clicking "Open at Login".
Hope this helps!

How do I make my iPhoto Library's version number appear in the Get Info window?

I recently (within the past 2 weeks) purchased a new 27 inch iMac and have been importing data (applications and files) from my 2010 Macbook Pro via AirDrop. One of the first files I migrated over was my iPhoto Library. I doing so, I noticed a few differences between its file attributes and those of the iPhoto Library file created by default on my new computer - two of which I'll note here. First, I noticed that the file resident on my new OS was labeled iPhoto Library.photolibrary while my older version did not have the ".photolibrary" extension. That seemed simple enough to correct so I added that extension to my old library file. The second difference I'd note - and the source of my question - is that the default iPhoto Library file displayed a version number (9.5.1) in its "Get Info" window, while mine did not. I checked my file's info.plist file and the correct information seems to be listed. It reads (in part):
<dict>
               <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
               <string>iPhoto Libary 9.5.1</string>
               <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
               <string>9.5.1</string>
</dict>
</plist>
I'm not sure this is really a question for the iPhoto community, as it seems like a more general issue; but, this is my first post to these forums, and I didn't know where to start. Thanks in advance for the advise/suggestions.

In terms of the info.plist file, I only reviewed it to see why I wasn't seeing the version number in the GetInfo window.
The string "<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
               <string>iPhoto Libary 9.5.1</string>"
is exactly what will be shown in the Get Info panel. I tested that by simply editing this string in a test library using XCode. I could "Get Info" to show ridiculous versions numbers this way.
However, none of my older iPhoto libraries will show the version string in Get Info, only libraries I created with iPhoto 9.5.1. or Aperture 3.3 or later.
There is probably one of the other database files in the folder "database" - *.appdb and *.db interfering. None of the Library First Aid options did make the version number show for my older iPhoto libraries - not even rebuilding the iPhoto library. The only way I could make the version number show in "Get Info" was by exporting the library as a new library using Aperture. But this exported library is now showing as Aperture library.

How do I change the background appearance for the top tool bar, the one with 'file', 'edit', etc.?

Yesterday, I changed the appearance of the toolbar I have in question, however, I don't like it and want to go back to what I had before. However, I have forgotten how I did it. Please help. thank you.

Hi and thanks for your help. I tried what you said, and I found out that if I Dis-able the Firefox add-on 'AVG safe search 10.0.0.1423", the problem goes away. However, if I Enable that add-on, the problem returns.
I think I want to keep that particular add-on, but am not happy with the fact I will then need to click on that arrow I spoke of in order to get to any website (rather than just hitting 'enter" after entering the URL. Any other advice?

You can do this using a meta refresh but the problem is you have to add it to the html file for the page very time you publish changes.
A better way is to create a splash page and upload it to the server outside of the folder produced by iWeb. Example HERE.
The meta refresh is added to the head section of the html file...
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="32;url=http://www.domain.about.com/Page-Name.html">
The delay time in seconds is marked in blue and the URL to the redirect page is in red.

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

They changed it a bit, but you can still close apps. Double click the Home button to pull up the currently running apps. Side scroll over to the app you want to close, then swipe up on the app *window* (not the icon at the bottom).

The exact mechanism depends on the app from which you wish to purchase. Consult the documentation for the app. You'll want to make sure that In-App purchases are not turned off in Settings/General/Restrictions.

7 month old thread, probably by this time OP already has a Note.
As for the rest of us, we did understand. Kappy answered correctly that it could not be done. Its jus not something iOS is programmed to do.
We then gave some alternatives. no one suggested it was what the OP wanted to do. Just something that could be done to approximate the requirement.
If that doesn't work for you, then there's nothing else that can be done.
Its not a currently supported feature on iOS. You can offer the suggestion to Apple on their feedback page.

There's nothing wrong with buying a different product that fits your needs more than an iPad.
Its like tryng to take a Sedan offroad. Was it built to do that? No. Can it, probably limitedly but the experience is not going to be very pleasant. Buy an Offroad vehicle and you can go offroad just fine. You don't whine because the sedan can't do it. You get something that can.
