How to make the icons in the dock become bigger when I hover over them?

I see in my friend's Mac that the icons in the dock become bigger when the user hovers over them with the mouse pointer. Mine don't change when I hover over them. Am I missing something?

Go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences > then click on the Dock icon.
Check the box for Magnification:
Close the Preferences Pane and you should be good to go.

My link preview has disappeared from the bottom left of the page (it no longer pops up when I hover over a link.) Thoughts on how to get it back? I really LIKE having it!

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

How do I set the buttons on my website to trigger an iFrame when I hover over them?

How do I set the buttons on my website to trigger an iFrame when I hover over them? At the moment they work when I click on them.
I have tried everything to try and get them to work when I hover over them.
If anybody could point me in the right direction or give me any help it would be greatly appreciated.

I think this would pose a major usability issue for touch screen devices that have no mouse and thus don't respond to mouseover/hover. In that sense, OnClick is much more reliable. But to answer your question, you would need to invoke the event with JavaScript.

When I hover over my swatches I dont get the pop up ....actually when I hover over anything i don't get the pop up names

can anyone help with how to turn on the hover capability ?

Scott,
How about Ctrl/Cmd+U to toggle Smart Guides (Show/Hide)?
Or it may be time for the list:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:

5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

All the html code of my links shows when you roll over them

I have spent weeks creating an e-commerce web site with iweb. Now, for the first time I notice that when you stop on one of the links to my shopping cart the entire html code is visible for all to see. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Lucas,
Open System Preferences>Dock...and make the appropriate selections to match your Dock preferences.

How do I stop a notify icon appearing multiple times... then disappear when mouse hovers over them

Hi,
[Re-posted
from Outlook Dev Forum]
I have an Outlook addin which makes use of a System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon to display update message without requiring the user to click Okay to dismiss them...etc.
I declare and create it in the addin class (so not in start up or any other event) as:
Public WithEvents notifyIcon As New System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
Then throughout in my code if I need to display a message I use notifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip. This works great, and I run it off the main thread as well as a syncing background worker thread. The problem is that when I go down and expand the
system tray, there are often many clones of the icon I use, which then disappear when I hover my mouse over them.
I understand this isn't an uncommon problem, and it happens also with new email icons in the system tray. However, is there any way I can prevent this from happening, or best practices I need to abide by?
In the Shutdown event I use:
If notifyIcon IsNot Nothing Then
notifyIcon.Visible = False
notifyIcon.Dispose()
End If
Any help would be much appreciated, since I can't seem to find any definitive info elsewhere online.
Thanks!
Tom
Note: I don't actually use a windows form with the notifyIcon, I just declare it as above... not sure if that affects anything?

Would this be the same as using the Application_Quit event for the Outlook addin? Since I've
seen that in Outlook 2010 onwards it doesn't call the Shutdown event now anymore, so you need to use the Quit event of the application to do any tidy up. Maybe that is why the icons are remaining.
Thanks,
Tom
Hello,
Wyck has shared a nice example with a form event, and for outlook 2010, we could deal with that notifyIcon inside application quit event.
Based on the document below you shared, it seems that you have found the reason, if that issue still exists, please feel free to let us know.

Sounds like you have an account, so two options I would say.
Try turning it off, then off and see what options you get, or sync your phone to iTunes and click on the summary and choose the iCloud option.

I have went onto the apple site and downloaded fun icons to spice up my desktop and folders and I have been successfull in changing the folder icons but do not know how to change the icons in the dock.....can someone please help me out.....thanks in advance

3) go to the application (in your application folder, NOT the dock) and right click on the application, and select "get info"
4) a pop up window will open with all this stuff in it. left click on the top icon in the info pop-up window
5) go to the finder bar (the bar on the top of the desktop) and pull down Edit, then select Paste.

How to put back the icons in the dock

My 3-year old son accidentally deleted the icons on the dock of my ipad. where do i get the icons for settings, safari, mail and gallery and how do i put it back in the dock?
thanks.

They can't be deleted. They can be moved by holding one until they wiggle. Look on other pages or in any folders created by putting one app on top of another one. You can also go to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout to return the app layout to the original look.

Just updated to 7.0.1 for Mac Snow Leopard, but the icon in my dock isn't the firefox symbol, it's a "document" icon. How can I get the firefox icon in my dock again?

I was given an auto-update message from Firefox, which asked me to restart the program to initiate the update. As soon as Firefox restarted, I got a weird document icon in my dock - in the place where the Firefox icon was moments before. The new update of Firefox seems to be working just fine, but I would like the Firefox icon in my dock and not this unrelated icon. Can you help, please?

I had this problem. Re-instal Firefox. After you drag the Firefox icon in to the Applications icon it is going to ask you if you're sure that you want to replace the version that's there - say yes. Then go down to your dock and remove the Firefox icon - drag it off the dock so it "poof!s" away. You can now put the icon on your dock again from your newly updated version. If that doesn't fix it drag it off the dock again, probably no need to re-update for the third time. Fixed it for me anyway. GL!

The icons on the screen of my laptop are too large. How can I make them smaller. I have right

the icons on the screen of my laptop are much too large. I don't know how they got that way. I want them to return to the smaller ones. I have right clicked on the desktop and clicked on making icons and other things smaller. this made the items on the bar at the bottom much smaller but did nothing for the icons all over the screen. What else can I do. I am using Windows 7 HP pavillion dv7 notebook

Hi,
Left click on an empty area of the Desktop to ensure it's the active window, then hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll area of the Touchpad to adjust the size.

May sound silly, the icons at the bottom of the page can they be made bigger or smaller and how

how do you change the icons at the bottom of the dock, make them bigger or smaller

If you mean the items on the Dock, just click and drag up/down on the vertical dashed line that separates program icons from those for Documents, Applications, Downloads, and Trash.

How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar? Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer. Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar? Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook. Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful. I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained. What else can I do?

Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.
