ICal icon moves to right of dock

The iCal icon relocated itself to the right of the doc. Any attempt to relocate it back to the original location fails. I have moved it into the trash and then opened the Applications folder and moved the icon to the dock but it again jumps to the right. Holding down the control key and checking options and then Keep in Dock or Open at Login does not fix the problem. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks. Jeff

Ferd II,
Success !!! Your Safe Boot was the solution.
Thought that you might want to see the communication from August 2010 which I finally located and had the following information:
First, All applications (except Finder) must be closed.
On the Finder menu bar, click on "Go," then on "Home."
Go into the Library folder
Delete the Caches folder
Go into the Library / Preferences folder
Delete the files: com.apple.iApps.plist; com.apple.iCal.helper.plist; and com.apple.iCal.plist
Restart system
This did not work this time but was effective in 2010, so not sure why this and your previous suggestions were not effective .
Regardless, many thanks for your time and expert advice.

Date in iCal icon not in right place

Does anyone know why the date in my iCal icon shows like this:
!http://www.feisar.plus.com/ical.jpg!
In all the screenshots I've seen of Leopard, the date is shown in the white part of the icon. The numbers in mine are shifted up a few pixels.

Strangely, I just did a completely fresh install of Leopard onto another disk partition, and the icon shows up correctly.
So, I figured it must be something to do with my upgrade installation, so I did a fresh 'Archive and Install' onto my main hard disk thinking it would fix it, but no, the problem is still there.
So I presume it is something in both the User accounts I have set up that is doing it. but oddly, it also does it if I set-up and Log in as a Guest account.
Anyone got any ideas?

ICal icon in the dock partially missing, only number shows

Hi there, my dad was messing around with iCal today, trying to drag it somewhere else, and I think he broke the icon for it.
The paper, rings, and red bar in the iCal icon won't show up. The only thing that shows up is the number 11 and the word Nov, which are today's date.
I found an icon file called "App-empty.icns" inside iCal's resources folder (when you right-click "show package contents") that looks like just the paper without the numbers. It seems like this icon is the "behind" part of the iCal icon, meaning the paper and rings, and the numbers are the "in front" part of the icon, but only the "in front" part is showing up, if that makes any sense.
I've tried dragging it out onto the desktop then opening iCal, but that didn't work. Computer restart didn't work either. When you launch iCal, the icon snaps back into shape like it's supposed to look, but when you quit iCal, it goes back to its ghost mode where it only shows the number and the month, sans the paper.
Any help would be lovely, thanks.
Evan

Did anyone resolve this problem?
I have a client who has a partially missing iCal icon on the dock. it appears to have just the number of the month in black and nothing else!
also when you open the iCal app, the icon then turns 'normal'. But another issue is that
all the current month's appointments are missing until you move the calendar one month ahead,
and then back again to the current month. Then, mysteriously, all the appointments re-appear in
the current month.

ICal icon in the dock is NOT live

One of the first things I noticed in Leopard was that FINALLY, the iCal icon in the Dock reflects the current date without iCal being open. This was "confirmed" by several reviews I read online.
Woohoo! Apple finally responded to the #1 complaint about iCal and the Dock! Right?
Wrong. They simply defaulted it to OCT 26 for Leopard's release, which should now be known as October Fool's day.
Honestly Apple, how hard would this be to fix? You even did it on the iPhone! You spent all that effort on live reflections in the dock but can't fix a bona fide usability problem?

you're not alone. my ical dock was also buggy. when it was closed it displayed the date that was one earlier than the current date in the menu bar. and when i opened, ical, it displayed the current date. i removed the icon and then replaced it like you did and it fixed the bug (that was really annoying me).
i had a clean install of Leopard, don't know if you did upgrade or clean install.

Little Red Number on Ical Icon on dock

I have a little red circle at the upper right hand corner of my Ical Icon on the dock. It is the same as the number that appears when I have 4 emails waiting for me in Mail. I don't publish my calendar, nor do I have any alarms, nor do I have any events of merit. I just use it as a desk calendar. How do I get rid of the Four in the circle? Looked everywhere for this answer.

I just figured out how to get rid of the numbers. Click Notifications on the bottom left part of the Ical screen and some blank invitations will show up. Click one and a box shows up that gives you the option of deleting the Notification/Invitation. I did that for the 4 little boxes and the number is gone.

One dock icon moves and disappears

Recently my Firefox dock icon started moving all the way to the right of the dock when it was open, and disappearing from the dock when it was closed.
I have read a couple topics on the same issue, which recommended resetting MobileMe sync data and to unregister/reregister the offending computer. This did not work.
I discovered that when I move the Firefox app from my applications folder to my desktop, then place it in the dock, that icon stays put in the dock (and the desktop icon stays put on the desktop) - until I open Firefox. At that point the static Firefox dock icon 'duplicates' into a second far-right dock icon. When I click to another application then click back on either the static Firefox icon or the new one on the far right of the dock, they both work to make Firefox the front app.
I want my Firefox dock icon to work again, like in the golden days of old. Any recommendations?

I also dragged the dock two utility files (com.apple.dock.db, com.apple.dock.plist) to the desktop and relogged, resetting the dock. This did not work.
I reinstalled Firefox, but that did not work.
The Firefox dock icon stays put on the other iMac user and on my MBP.
Crazy maddening. I feel like there must be something that is corrupted, but am not sure what.

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer in case it wipes everything .

I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2).

ICal icon on my Mac Book Air displays a circled number at the upper right corner as does Mail for new emails - how do I find out what item(s) that number is referring to? And why does it show up on the Mac Book Air and not my 4S iPhone?

A circled number appears in the upper right corner of the iCal icon on my Mac Book Air. What does it mean? How do I resolve it? Why doesn't it appear on my 4S iPhone via the iCloud?

Glenn,
That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification. Since OS X 10.7.2 is required for iCloud integration, I am not surprised that there are anomalies between the iPhone and the MacBook Pro.

My iCal icon in the Dock is still showing 31 Dec

Hello all and Happy New Year!
*It's already 1st Jan 2010 morning* here in Singapore.
A glance at my iCal icon in the Dock I just realized *it is still showing 31 Dec*
Hmmm, what is going on?
Thanks and cheers

Hi there Kosmic_Kayy,
If I understand correctly, you have successfully upgraded to Yosemite but you see the installer in Launchpad, and it indicates that it is paused. You should be able to remove that, with the following the following steps:
OS X Lion: How to remove Mac App Store apps that appear in Launchpad
Follow these steps while you are logged in with an administrator account:
Enter Launchpad.
Click and hold on an icon until you see all icons jiggle.
Click the "x" button in the upper-left of the Mac App Store app icon you want to delete.
Note: If you do not see an "x" button, either the app is not from the Mac App Store or you are logged in as a standard user.
Click "Delete" in the confirmation dialog to delete the app.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

No iCal icon in dock

I am unable to keep the iCal icon in the dock. I have several Powerbook Pros, but only one acts up.
An alias always stays in the "Places" sidebar, but an iCal alias will not stay in the dock, once I close the iCal application.
Help, please

All running applications will show in the dock. Otherwise, only the ones that have been put there.
Try opening your applications folder and finding the ical application itself. Drag this to the dock and it should insert an alias to ical that will stay.
You can also start running ical. This will create a dock reference to the application. If you then click and hold on the dock icon for ical, a popup menu will come up with the option to "keep in dock".
Note that removing apps from the dock is as simple as dragging the icons off the dock and releasing, and watching them go poof. This has happened to me accidentally a few times. Simply add them back by one of the methods above.
Cheers.

ICal Icon on Dock

My iCal Icon on the Dock previously projected the Jul 17. It now has no month in the red, and the number 1. I wish it would show the defaulted icon. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
If so, can you please reply the answer to [email protected] if it isn't any trouble?
Thank You So Much.
-D.Angelle

blage,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The first thing to try is remove the iCal icon from the Dock, and then replace it with iCal application from your application folder. Log out/in or restart.
If that is not successful, try changing/resetting your System Preferences...>International>Formats>(Region:) (Dates) (Times) Customize... to your specifications. Log out/in or restart.

How to move the Firefox 'close window' x icon to the right-hand corner?

I've just been given the option to upgrade my Ubuntu Linux (from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx). Although the updated colour scheme and Fire fox look great, one annoyance is that the 'close window' X-icon has moved from the right-hand corner to the left-hand corner.
As a right-handed person, my mouse pointer drifts over to the right-hand side of windows, so moving this icon from the right corner to the left corner doesn't make sense to me, as a right-handed person (~90% of the world are right-handed?).
I know that there's almost definitely a keyboard shortcut for 'close window' but I would like to see the 'Close window' 'x' back in the right-hand corner, or an option/preference to put it back where it always used to be! (as far as I know...).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I upgraded Firefox to 3.6.3 as part of Ubuntu upgrade from KK to LL release. Think I might have been running an older 3.6.x version of Firefox prior to this.

This problem is not particular to Firefox but rather a design scheme that is applied to all programs running Lucid Lynx.
Solution 1.
Go to System > Preferences > Appearance. Choose a Theme that has the right orientation rather than the left.
Solution 2.
Open up a Terminal and run this snippet to move everything to the right again:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close

What does the icon in the right hand corner of some movie clips mean.

I have my movie almost done but now I find many of the clips have a small screen looking icon in the right hand top corner of the clip. I can't delete those. What does it mean and where do I get rid of it?

Can you post a screen-cap, showing that icon in question? This ARTICLE will give you one workflow for screen-caps.
Good luck,
Hunt

Mail icon moves around dock indepedently

Mail icon moves around dock independently

Might be a corrupted .plist ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/LIbrary/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Date on iCal icon

I've recently noticed that the date on the iCal icon is wrong. Right now it shows '5', when I launch iCal it changes to '9' (today's date). It's annoying as it do use the date on the icon. I've no idea as to what would be causing the problem or where to start to solve it, so I'm here.
Cheers in advance

I realize this has been discussed endlessly, but I'm throwing in because I'm up too early on a Sunday:
I always thought the previous launch date was a feature, no joke intended. The idea was that the old icon display date showed you, up front and obvious, the last time you checked your agenda. I guess this isn't much use if you're bad at remembering dates but there's a potential clock on the menu bar to learn that.
I wouldn't pipe up without a recommendation though. A simple idea; would launching iCal at login, but hiding it, change the icon date display to your satisfaction? It would be running and I'm sure one could script a launch and quit, but you could right-click iCal in the dock to select Open at Login (or list it with the operator "+" in the following location) then under System Preferences/System/Accounts/My Account/Login Items you could toggle on Hide under "These items will open automatically when you log in."
At least it would update daily if you log out daily. I wonder if the date rolls over if iCal is left running, if you're the kind of account that leaves their computer on 24x7?
