How do I retrieve my hidden applications from the dock

Not sure where to start - I have Parallels 6 working and run a few Windows applications in Coherence mode on my laptop Macbook Pro hooked up to a 27 inch screen so I am not sure where this problem originated. I can open my application but can not see it. I know it is open because it is needed to run another Windows application which runs. I upgraded Parallels and had some database problems that had to be fixed soon after. So I had toggled from coherence to Windows on Parallels and then closed down the program I need to see. Since then it opens up but is hidden from view and the only option is to hide it, which it already is. You can see it disappear back and forth when changing that option but it never shows up on either screen. Other apps show up and can be dragged back and forth from either screen. Anyone know what to do?

Did you try some other mode besides coherence?

The logic board on my MacBook Pro has failed. How do I retrieve all my data from the hard drive?

The logic board on my MacBook Pro has failed. How do I retrieve all my data from the hard drive?

Remove the drive and put it in an external enclosure. Backup the drive completely. Repartition and format the drive. Replace the drive into the computer. Take the computer in for the logicboard replacement.

My 12" powerbook logics card crashed. I have a 17". How do i retrieve my internet bookmarks from the 12" by putting it into Target mode on the 12" and looking into the hard drive on the 12"?

My 12" powerbook logics card crashed. I have a 17". How do I retrieve my internet bookmarks from the 12" by putting it into Target mode on the 12" and looking into the hard drive on the 12"? Where on the 12" hard drive do I go to search for them?

If the 12's logic board is trashed, I don't think you can get into FireWire Target Disk Mode. The computer has to start to get to FWTDM. Will it starte and run at all?
If it won;t start, you will have to go inside and extract the hard drive. Then get this gadget:
Newer Technology Universal Drive Adapter USB 3.0/2.0 - connects any 2.5", 3.5" or 5.25" drive
It allows you to connect a bare drive to another computer that has USB. It will act just like an external disk drive. Assuming the 12's drive is not damaged due to the LB failure, you can retrieve files quickly.

Opening mail application from the dock sometimes doesn't open window.

In Mountain Lion, sometimes when I open Mail on the dock with a single left mouse (or touchpad) click, the Mail application opens, as shown in the menu bar, but a mail window doesn't open. I must then click or double click on it to get it to open a window. No other application in the dock behaves this way. How can I fix this?

Is there a problem with mail opening from the dock?
NOPE! Do you have open at login enabled? Is Mail listed in Login Items through System Preferences?

Somehow, after updating from Tiger to Leopard, I've managed to lose my Stickies application from the dock.

I upgraded my non-intel Powerbook G4 from Tiger to Leopard and then to 10.5.8. While reinstalling my files, I dragged the 10.4.11 Stickies app onto the desktop from my backup. Somehow, I got confused when the computer asked if I wanted to replace the old version with the newer version. I think the computer saw the dragged old applicaton as the new one that came in Leopard. Obviously I made the wrong choice and lost the Leopard Stickies. They came off of the dock and also are not located in Applications on the HD. The old copy from the Tiger backup can't be opened.
How can I get the Leopard Stickies back?? All I can think is to reload Leopard and I can't face that right now. Any ideas as to how to get them back relatively painlessly?

Search these discussions for "pacifist" and you should find a link to a utility that will allow you to extract the application from the installer.

Illustrator CS6 on Mac Yosemite keeps unhiding when minimizing or maximizing any other application from the dock

I am running Adobe Illustrator CS6 on my Mac, I just upgraded to Yosemite OS and when I have Illustrator hidden and then minimize any other application to the dock - Illustrator pops back up. The same happens when I restore/maximize any other application that is minimized in the dock - Illustrator pops back up. However, if I have Illustrator minimized to the dock (not hidden) it doesn't do it. Illustrator is the only app that does this - Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, etc... are all fine. It's not life threatening, just annoying. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Odd... and you have only 1 instance of the apps (in other words you don't have Office 2008 anywhere on the system)?
Might want to try in http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support

How come Logic can't be launched from the dock?

I have the Logic Pro icon sitting nicely in my dock, but I can't launch Logic from there. Instead I have to go to the Finder and open up a specific file. Is it possible to launch Logic from the dock? Thanks.

Yeah, no problem. ( first I'd get rid of the old dock icon if it's not working, just pull it off the dock and drop it, it'll disappear in a puff of smoke )
Then find the original logic app in your applications folder and pull that to the dock where it'll create a launch icon.
Then just double click the click that icon.

HT4859 After the i-cloud server issue Nov 26, 2012, I had to change some mail account settings to get my i-cloud mail to work again. However, all of my received e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve my e-mails from the server?

After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail. I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails. However, all of my historical e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

How do I retrieve my iphoto library from the Time Machine back-up drive, when the original iphoto library was on a separate external hard drive that has crashed?

I recently backed up my iMAC and Simpletech external hard-drive to a 1 TB WD Passport external hard drive, using Time Machine's back-up utility. Today, I tried to access my iphoto library from the back-up drive, but received a message saying "the iPhoto library is a Time Machine back up, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPHoto with options key held down to choose another library." Since my Simpletech died on me, what other iPhoto library is it expecting me to access? I know approximately 169 GB were backed up, and my iPhoto library is roughly 54 GB.

Thanks. I will try going through TM. Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive. Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means. It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility. Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it. Will look into

How do I remove/uninstall an application from the App Store?

I have deleted the applications, emptied the trash, and restarted my computer, yet the applications remain labeled as "Installed" in the App Store.
Specifically, two applications, which were both downloaded and installed via the App Store:
- GrowlVoice
- Caffeine
I'm sure the other applications would show the same behavior but I haven't tested it.
The reason I deleted them is because they got stuck while Updating. Caffeine is constantly "Waiting...", and GrowlVoice goes back and forth every 10 seconds or so between "Downloading (0/240KB)" and "Installed". It never actually downloads anything though.
I just want to remove the applications and force-reinstall them, but for some reason the App Store thinks they're installed, or downloading, or something.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The Mac App Store (MAS) can see versions of the apps that are on connected partitions or hard drives, such as a Time Machine backup. DIsconnect these and the MAS should not see the installed apps.

How do i retrieve a cleared item from the download list?

It was a .pdf downloaded from a website. I accidentally cleared it before I had printed it. It is not in the history as it is an external .pdf.

If you removed the file from the hard drive then it is most likely lost.<br />
Otherwise it may be in the browser cache of the Operating System temp folder.
Do you see that file in the Downloads folder in the History Manager (Library)?

How to Remove App Store, Facetime, etc from the Dock

Apple: I have to admit: I'm dead-tired of this. Every single time an update to the OS comes down I have to spend hours upon hours trying to remove icons I do not want displayed in my dock from my dock. "I know where the App Store is. Making it reappear in my dock upon every removal and reset only serves to annoy me rather than badger me into regular visits."
Last time I had to search the web for answers I accomplished it by editing a plist in the Library folder. I really don't want my dock populated with apps I don't use with extreme frequency. I know how to initiate Mission Control. I don't need it cluttering my dock with every upgrade. Facetime?? I can find that pretty quickly as well. When I remove something from my dock that means I don't want it in my dock again unless I put it there.
Seriously. It's enough already.
Users: Can any users help us get things out of the dock this time? Thanks.

Thank you for posting the answer ... this has been annoying me for a while, but I never bothered with is as I rarely reboot.
I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp tongiht so that I can do some gaming with a couple of buddies so now this is going to be a regular annoyance.
Well, it would have been!
Thanks again,
