I can't add some applications to the dock.

I have tried adding applications to the dock by dragging the applications (i.e. iMovie, iCal, iWeb) from my applications folder to the dock, but the applications won't stay in the dock. The application icon will remain in the dock for a few seconds, but then shrink away. I have also tried opening the applications and right clicking the application icon in the dock and selecting "Keep in Dock", but when I close the application, the icon won't stay in the dock. How can I correct this situation?
Additional info: I have a MacBook Pro, iMac and iPhone. I use MobileMe to sync.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
1. Set MobileMe sync to 'manual' in MobileMe preferences.
2. Unregister all computers but the one having issue.
3. MOVE ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to your desktop
4. Repair Permissions
5. RUN 'killall Dock' in Terminal
6. Try adding the icon to dock to see if it stays put.

  • How can I add an application in the "Open With..." menu?

    Hi, I'd like some help here. I'm downloading citations that are plain text file, so when I open them I have to browse all the way to the Endnote folder to find the app, since Endnote is not in the short list of programs that Finder proposes for opening the text files. Is there a way to add Endnote to this list?
    Thanks.
    Merry Christmas!

    In my limited knowledge there is no way for a user to add an application to this list. You might try one of these two options.
    1. Use a utility like Cocktail or Onyx to reset the launch services database. This is the database that decides which applications get launched when a file is double clicked. It may be that the Endnote application didn't get recognized. However OS X decides what applications to add to the list based on files types.
    2. The easier solution is to select one of the files you wish to open with Endnote. Right click on the file and select Get Info. Under the "Open with" menu select Other... and navigate to the Endnote application and select it. Now click the Change all button. From now on when you double click your citation file it will automatically open with the Endnote application.

  • How can add some text on the image

    I have images in the gif format.
    How can I add some text in specified point on the image?
    Fpor example, by using Intermedia plugins?

    We do not support this functionality. I suspect you are talking about watermarking?
    I would suggest you send a message to [email protected] , the product manager for interMedia and describe your application. This would be helpful in defining future requirements. He may also know of partners that can supply this technology.
    You can add text to an image using JAI or some other packages before the image goes into the database, or when it goes out.

  • I want to add some fields in the report of FBL5N, Can anybody tell me how ?

    I want to add some fields in the report of FBL5N, Can anybody tell me how to do it?
    The fields are sales order, delivery, order quantity, net value and others.
    I can only find the shipment number in FI document.
    Thank you very much.

    Dear Jie,
    Billing document number can be displayed in customer line item display
    (FBL5N) and not in G/L line item display (FBL3N).
    The value of VBELN is saved in table BSEG. So, this means, you
    have to define the field BSEG-VBELN as a special field in table
    T021S. Then you can use it in FBL3N, because then the report looks
    directly in BSEG-VBELN.
    For further information,please read the SAP note 207436. You don't have to
    implement the coding corrections, if they are already in your system
    with the hotpackage. But it explains very detailed the system
    behaviour. The example in the note with field EBELN could be
    replicated on your field VBELN.
    About the MEINS field, please refer to 1-U_MEINS (bseg-meins field).
    The SAP note 215798 may also be helpful.

  • Can We Add Some More Fileds To the Imported IDOC ??

    Hi All,
    Can We Add Some More Fileds To the Imported IDOC ??
    If I Imported IDOC to IR. But I Want to Add Some More Fields To IDOC.
    Then Can I Go For this Process ??? Is This is Correct ???
    Please Correct Me If Iam Going Wrong
    1) Open the Imported IDOC in IR
    2) Export it as XSD File in to your Local Machine
    3) Add Necessary Fields & Save it
    4) Come to IR And Import it into external definition
    Is this is the Correct way of Doing ???
    If Not What is the Problem in Doing This ??
    Regards
    Vamsi

    Hello Vamsi,
    That is NOT the correct way to play around with IDOCs.
    the correct way is to create an enhancement to an exiting IDOC (this is done on the SAP R/3 side) after you craeted an enhancment you reimport the IDOC in XI from the R/3 and then you have a new structure with the new fields you need.
    worst case scenario you can define a new IDOC type just with the fields you need.
    you can check out the SAP library at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/0b/2a60bb507d11d18ee90000e8366fc2/frameset.htm
    on how to do that.
    Have a good one,

    You will not lose everything on you phone if you backup prior to updating. You can do it maunaully (simply by syncing your phone with itunes) but when you update iTunes will prompt you do back up your phone anyways. After you've updated you can reload everything on to your phone with the itunes back up.

    Hi Tom,
    With the current 6.0 release there is no support for adding items. In a
    future
    release we anticipate adding that functionality.

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • Can anyone shed some light on the OS X icon "irregularity?"

    Had expected icons (Mail, Reminders, Calendar, etc.) would update to those of iOS 7 with the Mavericks update. They did not (for me)! Should I be doing something in order to see the updated icons in Applications and Dock? I noticed the icons changed in iCloud. This obviously is not a major issue just an observation. Can anyone shed some light on the OS X "irregularity?"

    When I upgraded to Mavericks... The Calendar and Notes icons were updated also.
    After the first reboot... they reverted back to the last generation.

In that case, you can use an instance of GregorianCalendar and use it's add(...) method to add days, months, years etc. to it.

  • Updated to Mavericks OS X but can't use my external drive by WD My Passport. The Mac reads it but I can't add/remove files to the external drive. Help?!

    Updated to Mavericks OS X but can't use my external drive by WD My Passport. The Mac reads it but I can't add/remove files to the external drive. Help?!
    The WD My Passport, I purchased back in early December 2013 & I just used it the other day after I updated my Macbook... & of course it says in the online manual it works for Mac Lion, Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard but not this new Maverick update. Is there anything I can do?

    I like the free demo of SuperDuper to make clones. It's free, Tiger and Leopard ready and is easy to use. If you buy the full version you can do incremental backups.
    You should use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, booted up on your install disk, before you make a clone of it.
    I then partition my external disk, in Disk Utility, with a partition that is the same size , actually a tad bigger, as my system disk. I then use SuperDuper to clone my system disk over to that partition.
    With a clone on an external FireWire drive (USB drives are not bootable on some Macs) you can bootup on it to do your repairs or just run your Mac anytime you have trouble with your main drive. Be careful, there are a few external FireWire drives out there that are not bootable on Macs. Check the drive's manual to be sure.

  • Can't download an application from the net because of an apple security block

    MacBook Pro C0*******3UG 1TB Os 10.9.5
    I can't install an application from the net because of some Apple security block. How do I remove or get around the block? The instructions in help say to double click  the application and all that happenes is that I get the same window saying I can't install.
    <Edited By Host>

    It's usually not necessary to change any security settings, and as a rule you shouldn't.
    To make a one-time exception to the security policy, follow these instructions. They apply to Installer packages and other installable items as well as applications.
    Some defective software installers may fail when Gatekeeper is enabled. Think carefully about whether you really want to run such an installer. If you do, temporarily change the setting to
              Allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere
    When the installation is done, revert the setting.
    Some applications that don't have a developer signature have been reported not to launch the first time unless Gatekeeper is disabled. The warning message from Gatekeeper is that the application "is damaged and can’t be opened." Again, think carefully about whether you want to trust the application. If you do, disable Gatekeeper as above, launch the application, and then re-enable Gatekeeper. If you still get the warning, delete the application.

  • Can not add a picture to the JFrame from an ActionListener class

    As topic says, I can not add a picture to the JFrame from an ActionListener class which is a class inside the JFrame class.
    I have a Map.java class where I load an image with ImageIcon chosen with JFileChooser.
    I my window class (main class), I have following:
    class OpenImage_Listener implements ActionListener
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
              int ans = open.showOpenDialog(MainProgram.this);     // "open" is the JFileChooser reference
              if(ans == open.APPROVE_OPTION)
                   File file = open.getSelectedFile();                    
                   MainProgram.this.add(new Map(file.getName()), BorderLayout.CENTER);     // this line does not work - it does not add the choosen picture on the window,
                            //but if I add the picture outside this listener class and inside the MainProgram constructor, the picture apperas, but then I cannot use the JFileChooser.
                            showMessageDialog(MainProgram.this, fil.getName() ,"It works", INFORMATION_MESSAGE);  // this popup works, and thereby the ActionListener also works.
    }So why can�t I add a picture to the window from the above listener class?

    The SSCCE:
    Ok, I think I solved it with the picture, but now I cannot add new components after adding the picture.
    Look at the comment in the actionlistener class:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test extends JFrame{
         JButton b = new JButton("Open");
         JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
         Picture pane;
         Test(){
              super("Main Program");
              setLayout(new BorderLayout());
              JPanel north = new JPanel();
              add(north, BorderLayout.NORTH);
              north.add(b);
              b.addActionListener(new Listener());
              setVisible(true);
              setSize(500,500);
              pane = new Picture("");
              add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
         class Listener implements ActionListener {
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                   int ans = jfc.showOpenDialog(Test.this);
                   if(ans == jfc.APPROVE_OPTION)
                        File file = jfc.getSelectedFile();
                        Test.this.add(new Picture(file.getName()), BorderLayout.CENTER);
                        pane.add(new JButton("NEW BUTTON")); // Why does this button not appear on the window???
                        pane.repaint();
                        pane.revalidate();
         public static void main(String[] args)
              Test t = new Test();
    class Picture extends JPanel
         Image pic;
         String filename;
         Picture(String filename)
              setLayout(null);
              this.filename = filename;
              pic = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(filename);
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
                super.paintComponent(g);
                g.drawImage(pic,0,0,getWidth(),getHeight(),this);
                revalidate();
    }
