Icon bounce notification problem with hidden dock

Hi: I think this has been reported on macosxhints for the mail app, but I'm seeing it in other applications too. Specifically, I have Adium setup to notify me via a bouncing dock icon on new messages. I also have a hidden dock.
I've noticed that on new messages, initially the dock icon bounce will be visible. But if I mouse over the dock area to unhide + hide the dock, the bouncing will no longer be visible (it is still bouncing, and I can unhide the dock to confirm - just not visible when the dock is hidden anymore). If I click on the dock icon to check my message, any subsequent messages from Adium result in the dock icon bounce not being visible with the dock hidden. Once again, it is bouncing, just not visible.
As described in http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090330170041769, there are certain ways to avoid this, or even to recover from this, but I end up missing my IMs pretty often.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you Barry. I wonder if anyone else has the answer to that question. I have many different view options for different folders, and it would be a pain to have to reset each one of them.

Problem with ipod dock and apple remote

I have a problem with my apple remote and my 5th gen ipod on a dock. I set it up and plug it into a TV, yet when i get into a music video playlist- it will only play 4 songs (the same ones) and then go back to the song selection screen. The same thing happens in the movie "tab" as well.
Any ideas?

btabz,
Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
Thanks,

Problem with Universal Dock

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if any of you guys have had problems with volume adjustment with video iPod when attached to the new dock and stereo. In most cases I have to crank the volume almost to end, but not the all way, because then the sound only comes out of the headphones. As I said, this happens in almost every song. On other the songs - I've found only few - I can't adjust the volume, which I find more pleasing. So I would like to know, is there any way to change those preferences on the iPod, or with some other method?
In case its needed, my iPods firmware is 1.0, which I wouldn't like uprage because of the backlight timer.
Thanks in advance!

Also have this very frustrating problem. Completely fine playing audio out through iPod touch 2nd Gen with 4.0 update connected to universal dock. Now after the iOS 4.0.2 update, no audio from speakers when I connect to universal dock (headphones and internal speaker work fine), the volume slider disappears when I connect the iPod to the dock and the TuneIn Radio app says "No Volume Available". Hardware volume buttons and apple remote have no effect.
Resetted settings, downgraded back to iOS 4.0.1, restored to factory nothing seems to work. Strangely enough, tried connecting a friend's 2nd Gen ipod touch which hasn't been updated to ios 4.0 (it has 3.1.3) and the same thing: volume slide goes away when connected to dock, and no audio out from speakers. Speakers are good, tested them separately.
Could it be that the ios 4.0.2 update screwed up the universal dock firmware?

Notification problem with 4.2.9.

I'm having a problem with my notifications right after this update. First I got no sound, then the vibration went away and I've tried turning a few off a few in to see what works and what dosnt. My mute button is off, my volume is on high....notifications are on. Is anyone else getting this kind if thing. Please Help!!

How was the movie created? After the iOS update, photo files had to be named with a simple six character name in order to be uses with the CCK. It has to look like the photos were directly produced by a camera and no modified by a computer.

Push notification problems with 4s.

Recently I have been having problems with my whatsapp application, it keeps prompting "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications" how to solve this very annoying problem? Please help. Never jailbreak before.

You'll need to address your problem to the Whatsapp developer. This has nothing to do with the Iphone but the apps itself.
Try reading the app review and see if other users are having the same problem and if there is a resolution.

Since installing 10.6.4 problem with transparent Dock icons

Hi there;
I installed the Mac OS X 10.6.4 update via Software Update on three Macs. So far, so good on two of them. On my MacBook Pro, 10.6.4 is running fine except for a small but annoying problem. Some of the icons in the Dock are transparent now. The icons for Mail and Safari are transparent. If I drag those icons off the Dock and replace them with new icons, the new icons remain solid for a few minutes, then go transparent again.
Has anyone else noticed that problem and if so, have you found a way to fix it?

Hi Stanley,
Have you tried deleting the com.apple.dock.plist & com.apple.dockdb.plist?
Have you tried LaunchServices?
Have you tried in Safe Mode?
Copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Problem with the Dock icons in OSX 10.5.3

Not sure if this is down to the recent OSX update but ever since I applied the update my dock icons, or more specifically the text above them looks like this:
http://idisk.mac.com/darrencraig/Public/Pictures/Skitch/dockicons02-20080603-184256.jpg
http://idisk.mac.com/darrencraig/Public/Pictures/Skitch/dock_icons-20080603-1840 27.jpg
You'll notice the background where the text is is not graduated as it should be on either side.
Any ideas how to fix this?

That looks like the problem I occasionally have (since the background of the dock also seems missing) Does a fan-view of a doc-stack draw no icons?
If it is the same problem I don't think it is related to the update (I had it on all point versions), and logging out and back in might fix it.

After upgrading to leopard, I have this problem with the Dock

Any time I try to remove an icon from the dock, it crashes and restarts, hence I am unable to ever remove items from the dock!
Any ideas on how I might fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Barry Hemphill wrote:
If you do not want to do that, I would probably do an archive and install (it will take you about two hours):
I suspect that this might be yet another of those things linked to the way migrating Tiger user accounts to Leopard can cause permissions issues that an Archive & Install (with the default option to preserve user settings) will not permanently solve. I think the easiest way to eliminate this possibility is to create a new user account in Leopard & see if the problem persists. If it does, & continues to do so after repairing systems permissions with Disk Utility, then it may be worth the time to do an A&I; otherwise probably not.

Problems with the dock

Hi i have just upgraded to mountain lion and my dock is not working properly at all, its like it freezes when i hover it with the cursor.
Normally the icons will expand a bit when i do it now just the first icon does it (sometimes and sometimes not)
anyone else got this problem?
yes i have checked my settings

Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash this files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist EDIT: Sorry
com.apple.dock.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset your Dock the way you like them.)

Problem with Hidden variable

but the problem is when i access the JSP for the first time i get the combobox with the list populated...its not hidden

Welcome to SDN Tom.
the stt.
var name = document.getElementById('name').value;
is to set the element (name) value to variable name.
you cannot just give the javascript variable anme in the value field. if you want to set the value for a input field thru javascript consider the following example.
<input type = "hidden"
name = "NAME_LAST"
id = "NAME_LAST"
value = "" />
<script>
document.getElementById('NAME_LAST').value = 'ABC' ;
</script>
the above script would set the value for the input field as 'ABC'.
if you want this to happen on particular action.(say a button click then make a javascript function like below and call it on click of a button.
<script>
function setVal()
document.getElementById('NAME_LAST').value = 'ABC' ;
</script>
<input type="button" name="b1" onclick=setVal();"/>
for more reading on javascript you can refer to

Problem with DK26 dock for Xperia Z

i just got my DK26 dock today and tried it out. it seems that whenever i plug in my device onto the dock, it'll reboot my phone every 5 to 10 minutes without failing! my sibling on the other hand has no issue on this. i have an SDcard plugged into my phone while my sibling doesn't. can anyone help me with this because its irritating.

Might be related to the SD card yes. Try formatting the card via your computer and see if the problem persists. Remember to backup all the data on the card you want to save.

Problem with DLO Dock Deluxe

I've been trying to get my nano to work with the "On TV" feature of the DLO Dock Deluxe. The nano connects fine to the stereo when in the default dock mode but as soon as I push the mode button on the DLO remote to go to TV mode the nano display slides to a big check mark saying OK to disconnect. The TV screen shows the DLO menu screen but says "no iPOD detected". I've called DLO several times. First they said to update the nano to 1.1 (did this and the updater brought the nano to 1.1.1 but didn't help solve the problem), then they said to try and restore the nano (which I did with no change in behavior), then they told me to exchange the dock for another one (which I just did today and I still have the same problem). I'm feeling convinced that the problem has to be with the iPOD but not sure what to try next since I've tried everything DLO has asked. I think someone may have said to reformat the device but I didn't know that was an option and not sure how to do that. I'm assuming that would be different than reseting, updating, and restoring. Has anyone else had similar challenges? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Thank you Barry. I wonder if anyone else has the answer to that question. I have many different view options for different folders, and it would be a pain to have to reset each one of them.

Nokia lumia 520 push notification problem with wha...

I have a Lumia 520, and i find that i do not receive push notifications for my whatsapp messages. I have to open the application before the messages come through. I would like to know how to correct this. I have checked all my settings.

On a HTC-forum I saw the next solution, and it works also for Nokia Lumia! That means it is a Microsoft Issue!
1) Unpin Windows store from start
2) ERASE Internet Explorer History
3) ADD new language to the keyboard (Settings-->keyboard-->add keyboards
(CHOOSE A LANGUAGE THAT REQUIRE DOWNLOAD)
4) When downloading is finished, it will ask to restart and install
5) After installation and restart do the following;
A) UNINSTALL WHATSAPP
B) REINSTALL WHATSAPP (you can get conversation history back when asked, so no problem)
After this the push function works, but there is still a delay up to 10 minutes! So when you test, be patient.
NO BETTER PRESSURE MEDIUM THAN ANTI ADVERTISING SO AFTER THIS EXPEDITION PLEASE CHANGE YOUR STATUS TEXT TO:
USING WINDOWS; THAT MEANS DELAY UP TO 10 MINUTES
When all Window Phone users display that message, Microsoft has to come with a final solution!
Please spread the word

Few problems with the dock. Creating App stack, and removing apps from dock

OK.. I am running leopard 10.5.4, and decided I wanted to use the app folder as a stack. I made my new folder with the alias' inside. However, when I went to move it into the dock, 9on the right side of the sizing bar), the other stacks failed to shift out of the way, so I couldn't add it in.
Another problem is that I can't see to remove apps from the dock. I have admin rights, and they are not active, hence the desire to get rid.
Anyone have an idea??

Erm... Doh! had dock 'locked' in Onyx...
