How do I turn the Dock off and on as I want?

How do I turn the Dock off and on as I want? I don't mean Hide.... I mean off. It's using to much Free RAM and I need to occasionally turn it off to test RAM usage.

Try resetting the dock using Terminal in the Applications/Utility folder to see if this will solve the problem.
killall Dock

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w will only print wirelessly if I turn the printer off and on again

    I have 2 Laserjet P1102w that work fine printing through USB.  However, I was hoping this printer could become the standard wireless printer for individual users in the office.  I have setup 2 different printers wirelessly with their own static, reserved IP addresses and they are connected to our wireless access point (WPA).  We have  all laptops that are connected to the network via the same access point as well as through hard wired ethernet.  In all cases, they are on the same subnet.
    Once I connect any laptop to one of these printers wirelessly through either the "smart install" client or the latest regular installation exe off of HP's site, it will print fine initially.  However, whenever I undock the laptop or even just wait a few hours, the connection will be lost and I cannot print.  The queue just says "Error - Printing" when I print sometihng.  No errors in the logs.  The connection will come back if I turn off the printer and turn it back on.  This is very annoying and will probably not be acceptable to the users.
    So I wanted to do more testing and connected both printers to my laptop wirelessly and made sure they could print successfully.  I opened 2 command windows and ran a ping -t on each IP address to see at what point the connection dies.  The ping will reply until I undock and go from hard wired / wireless to just wireless.. then it will say "Destination unreachable" and I can't even access the web interface. Even if I redock to hard wired / wireless, I still can't print unless I restart the printer.
    This happens on 2 different laptops with 2 different p1102w printers.  Any clue as to what's going on here and how I can fix it?
    Edit:
    If I have both wireless and nic enabled, once I undock the laptop, the ping -t changes from replying to the ip of the printer, to replying to the address of the wireless adapter with "Destination host unreachable".
    For example:
    IP of printer: 192.168.2.95
    IP of wireless adapter on laptop: 192.168.2.25
    ping 192.168.5.95

    Reply from 192.168.2.25 Destination Host Unreachable
    This does not happen if I disabled the nic and run only off the wireless card.  So the workarounds are to either turn the printer off and back on if I undock every time, or disabled the nic.
    At this point, I just want to understand why it is like this?

    Mowaffaq, you may want to determine whether you are making those changes in the master printing preferences (versus the adjusting the session printing preferences from within your application).
    Click "Start", click "Printers and Faxes" (or "Devices and Printers"), right-click your printer, and select "Printing Preferences". On the "Paper/Quality" tab, you should be able to specify A4 as your default paper for all future print jobs.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT201412 All sounds are mute tho mute is not on. Keystroke sounds and other phone sounds but they ring tones and notifications are still working period I have tried turning the phone off and on please help

    All the keystrokes sounds in different sounds that go with the phone have stopped working do you know how to make them go again? The ring tones and notifications down this still work but not that keystrokes are other in phone sounds. Is there something I can do other than turn the phone off and on to restore them?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

    When using the rectangle tool in CS5, a graph appears in the shape. How do I turn the graph off?
    Thanks!

    It might be the pixel grid if your zoomed in greater than something like 500% to 700%.
    Go under View>Show and uncheck Pixel Grid.
    Or maybe you have a layer style set in the tool options bar for shape layers.

  • How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

    How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

    I do not believe this.. you can not disable auto correct without disabling the spell checker.. I am struck dumb by this.. I recently bought a mac for the first time.. ive always used windows.. there are more thngs like this than i expected.. I actually find this so ignorant I am lost for words.. this auto correct is a nightmare for me.. and has already caused me a lot of trouble because I have sent emails where words have been changed and i didnt notice and I have unknowingly insulted people.. i use a regular spell checker quite often but apparently I simply have no choice with safari.. oh well I am going to have to find another browser then.. goodbye safari!.. I also use a lot of shortened words and names etc etc.. like for eg I used the shortened word for problems "probs" and it changes it to "probe" and then i go back and change it back to WHAT I WANT TO SAY and it changes it AGAIN!!!!
    Does anyone else feel like this is yet another example of how, more and more, we are being treated like morons?
    Ok I'll try to stop ranting.. the real point is it should be possible to have a spell checker without auto correct..

  • How do I turn the flashlight off on my iPhone 5?

    How do I turn the flashlight off on my iPhone 5?

    It’s quite easy to enable or disable flashlight on your iPhone, all you need to do is swipe up from the bottom to access the Control Center, and tap on the Flashlight icon.
    There is a much easier way to turn it off from the lock screen, without accessing the Control Center. Simply tap or slide up on the camera icon at the bottom right corner of the screen to turn it off. It’s a much faster way to turn it off. Since iPhone’s Camera needs to accesses LED flash, it automatically turns off the flashlight feature.  Even when the iPhone is unlocked, I find it easier to press the Sleep/Wake button and tap on the camera icon to turn it off.

    I've paid my past due bill, and turned the phone off and back on, why isn't my service restored?

    How long ago did you pay the bill? Has the payment cleared? It may take up to a couple of hours after the payment clears until service is restored.
    Unless you are in the area that is having service issues. There is an area where service is down.
