How do keep certain active items from appearing in the dock?

I have a few things set as startup items (a backup utility, StickyNotes, a temperature monitor, etc.). I want these things to run, but I don't want them taking up space in my dock because once they're running, I never need to click on their dock icons. It just makes my dock harder to see. This is probably a simple question, but how do I keep them active but prevent them from taking up room in the dock? Thanks!
Mike

From what I understand, all that "Dockless" does is set 'LSUIElement' (or maybe 'NSUIElement') to "1" in the target app's "Info.plist" file. The manual way works for me for "Stickies.app" in 10.3.9, so it should work with "Dockless" as well. And it appears that the keyboard shortcuts for "Quit" or "New Note" remain active despite the absence of the application specific menubar so it might even remain functional.
When making changes to the "Info.plist" file, it is often necessary to go through extra steps to make "Launch Services" aware of the change. As mentioned above, duplicating the app might be one method - often after duplication of the app, the changes will be found to be in effect for the new copy but not necessarily for the original. Sometimes opening up the application package, navigating through "Contents" > "MacOS" and double-clicking on the unix executable file will cause the change to take effect without duplicating the app. One method that usually works well is running 'lsregister' from the command line, but usually that is not necessary. If (and only if) the modified "Stickies.app" has replaced the original in the default location, the relevant command (entered using "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app") would be:<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco'; overflow:auto; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:500px">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/ A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -f -v /Applications/Stickies.app</pre>If a copy has been modified, just substitute the appropriate path to the modified version of the app...

How do I stop Java processes from appearing on the dock?

I have a Java application that has a fairly extensive build process using ant. It builds fine on OSX, but constantly annoys me. There are a large number of unit tests that run using JUnit, and each test starts in a new Java process. The problem is that when each process starts (and there are about 100 during the course of the build), a new Java icon appears on the dock and stays until the process finishes. First of all, that slows down the build (since it has to do all that graphics work to keep changing the appearance of the dock). Secondly, every time a new process starts, it takes away the keyboard focus from whatever I'm currently working on. I either have to click in the window I want again, or else wait for the process to finish.
On Windows, this is handled with an alternative version of the JVM called "javaw.exe" that does not get a foreground window. However, I see no "javaw" in the Java directory on OSX. Is there some option to start Java with that will stop this dock updating? Note that there are times when I want the dock to be updated (when I'm running a "normal" Java app).

Even when the Guest Account / Access is disabled, the login option / and lock screen, still have a guest login.
This is because in Preferences/ Security & Privacy/General the bottom item is turned on.

Keep applications from appearing in the dock?

Is it possible for an application to "hide" from the dock? There are some utility apps that I'd like to run, but I don't want to see them in the dock. If it is possible to hide their icons from the dock, that sure would helpful.
These are apps that I want to load up at startup, and I have their Hide boxes checked in my profile, but they are still showing. But I'd like to have them act like Snapz Pro does, and not even appear in the dock at all, even though it is running.

Thanks for the reply. I also found the line of code to do the same thing that the application you submitted to me does automatically.

Stopping printer icon from appearing in the dock

Hi,
We have a problem where our students (network homes, managed by WGM) are clicking on the printer icon in the dock once they have sent a job to print, and are pressing the 'Stop Jobs' icon, thus holding up the queue for other students to print.
Is there a way to stop the icon appearing in the dock?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Are you using
a dedicated print server ?
a print server as part of the server OS ?
or simple printer sharing, maybe Apple Printer Sharing, or Bonjour, or CUPS or another ?
Simple Printer Sharing, or a network printer without dedicated print server software is always going to allow users to stop printing, even if it holds up others.
Even with dedicated print server, you may want to allow users to stop prints - holding up the printer - if they need to change paper, ie. pre-printed stationery, acetate or different paper weights instead of blank 80g/sq m paper.
But a dedicated print server may allow you to restrict job access to only deleting the print job.

Anyone know how to keep a child Process from closing when the main Applicaiton is closed

I have a Web based application that needs to use an older version of Java to run it properly . I have been able to sequence this and use a shortcut to call on Iexplorer.exe to open the browser in bubble and have the old version of Java run in the
same bubble. This part is working as needed but the issue I have ran into is when a end user opens up a word document from a link and "check's it out" to modify it and closes the browser it immediately closes the word document along
with it. So the Question I have, Is there a way to keep a child process open when the main Application is closed . Anyone run into anything similar or any documentation on a way to keep the process alive until the end user closes it?

Hi There,
I don't believe there is a way to handle this currently within App-V...Other virtualization products do have the ability to exclude processes and force to run outside or the bubble or exclude them from terminating on shutdown.
It would be a great feature request for a future release. You can easily request it here:

how do i stop an item from downloading?
the item has already downloaded but a 'ghost' download keeps trying but fails to download.
annoying!

Hello Hockeygurl12
If you are having an issue with your purchase, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store app, tap on More and then Downloads. Then you should be able to swipe from right to left to delete it. Then you can try to download it again from the Music app. If you are still unable to download your track, the report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Hi Willowmet1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use these steps to delete a playlist from an iPod nano (7th generation):
Delete a playlist:
1 On the Home screen, tap Music > Playlists.
2 Flick down, then tap Edit.
3 Tap next to the playlist you want to delete, then tap Delete when it appears next to the playlist. If you tapped the wrong playlist, tap the one you want to remove.
4 Tap Delete, or tap Cancel if you change your mind.
5 When you finish, flick up, then tap Done (or swipe right to return to the Home screen if you cancel).
You can find more information and steps for other iPod nano models in the user guides found here:

How to delete a line item from the sales order

Hi all,
how to delete a line item from the sales order for which the production is already happened and it has been delivered. the production order status is DLV.
Regards
Kumar

Hi
U can do this in two ways one u can short close the order by entering Reason for rejection in VA02 at header level and if yr order is multiple line item order u can enter the reason for rejection in any of the line item which u don't want to deliver.
This is called short close ( as the qty is not delivered fully).
Thx.

How to set an Application Item from PL/SQL

I am attempting to set an Application Item
After login to my app, I want to retrieve a row from my SETTINGS table and populate some Application Items with the settings information so that I can
display some of that settings information on every page.
Just to start, I created one Application Item named F106_YEAR
I then created a Shared Components Application Process which executes on New Session: After Authentication
I created this process as an Anynomous PL/SQL block.
declare
aucyr varchar(4);
begin
select year into auctyr
from settings;
:F106_YEAR := aucyr;
end;
I've tried a couple of other Syntax tricks attempting to reference the Application Item F106_YEAR from within PL/SQL (like V('F106_YEAR') but nothing seems to be working.
I'm sure that I am missing something simple. Can someone tell me how to set an Application Item from PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance.

I'm still doing something wrong because this is not working for me.
I've tried both of the following versions as an Application Process set to run on New Session after Authentication:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
:F106_AUCTION_YEAR:=auction_year;
end;
and I also tried:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE (p_name, p_value);
end;
F106_YEAR is a global Item (shared components).
The select statement works just fine in SQL*PLUS so I know that it is correct.
If I run the debugger and log into the application, here is the output. Shouldn't I see my Application Process get called if it is set to run on New Session after Validation?
