Icon hidden behind Application icon on dock - OS X Maverick

I have this icon behind the Application icon on the dock and I cannot figure out what it is. It is not something on the desktop as I have moved the dock and can't see it, so it is definitely connected with the Application icon. I have deleted all downloads which could have been half done and I have removed an Alias I had in the Application folder. Now all the Applications appears as "Applications" in the "Kind" column when viewing in Finder.
Any ideas?

Do you mean the Applications icon on the right side of the dock?
It is the icons for your applications and they are stacked on top of each other.
The top icon will be the first app in your Applications folder and under that will be the next app in the Applications folder etc.
Depending on the size of the icons, you may see 3 or 4 icons on top of each other.
Here is mine.
The first few apps are 1Password, 1Password4, Adobe Reader and this shows those icons.

Unable to replace the default icon with the application icon for SIS files on packaging

Hi,
I got hold of the earlier (now removed from Adobe) available Adobe Mobile Packager (the free version). Now the problem is that I see the default packager icon on my phone for my Flash Lite application. Also, the packager does not allow me to select my application icon. I have placed the desired icon in the output folder along with its svg; doesn't help either.

You mentioned that you implemented loopback merge mode. It's possible some of the settings being included in the merge are interfering with your new file associations. Have you checked to see if there are any conflicting file
associations in other GPOs that may be applying? If so, you may want to experiment with loopback
replace mode.
Also check to see if any file associations are being set in the computer configuration settings, since you are attempting to set associations in the user configuration. In a merge scenario the computer policy is processed after the user policy, and
has precedence if any of the settings conflict.

How can I add an icon for an application into the dock?

I just installed an application that I will using often, but I cannot add it to the dock for some reason. I tried dragging it from the applications menu but that didn't work. How can I get it on the dock? Thanks in advance

Launch the application and then press the Control key or hold down the mouse/trackpad button while clicking on its icon in the Dock; choose Keep In Dock from the menu which appears.

PDF 'print' and other 'next' and 'finish' commands hidden behind deep icon tray on monitor. Help!

I can't find info on how to control lower icon tray depth so that I can see and click on various program install, PDF print and other 'print', 'next', 'finish', etc. commands.

Hello Veebeep
If I understand you correctly your PDF viewer is not giving you the options you posted above. Click on View and ensure that both Read Mode and Full Screen Mode are unchecked. This should get your options back if you are experiencing that I am thinking you are. If this does not work if you could elaborate a bit on your issue I will try to assist.

Random Icon stuck behind trash icon

To whomever can help:
I have a brand new macbook osx 10.4.7.
When I tried to drag an Icon to the trash, it somehow became stuck, half way behind the trach icon. The trash is empty, but the half icon behind it remains. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I dont think it is doing anything, but it is quite an eye-sore.
thank you for your help
macbook osx tiger Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunitly, I can not click on the half icon, its somehow halfway behind the trash icon and it can not be clicked or highlighted. Pretty strange. If I remember correctly, it may have been an icon of a file I cancelled while it was downloading. Im pretty sure it wasnt a major file or application.

Firefox Icon Replaced by Application icon after crash & repair, where can I get a copy compatible with Mac OSX 10.2.4?

Recoveryng from a disk crash and Firefox icon in the genie bar vanished after running MAC Disk Utility and now has the "Application" (the A formed by a pen, pencil & ruler) icon instead. Will not launch. Need a version that will run Mac OS X 10.2.4. Is there page on this site to get a compatible version or some wherelse I can get one? Have very some old .dmg copies of earlier version 2.0.0.7 but can not find more recent copies or the one I was running befor the crash. I know , I know I need to update my old G4 but for economic reasons ( I do not have the $$) I can not do so now.

The last release to work on the old OSX 10.'''2'''.x was the old EOL Firefox 2.0.0.20
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/Firefox%202.0.0.20.dmg
Firefox 3.0, 3.5, 3.6 required Mac OS X 10.4 and later. Then for Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs '''Intel''' hardware and OSX 10.5+.

Generic icons instead of application icons

In Finder windows, I regularly get generic document icons instead of those belonging to the associated application, e.g., generic PDF icons instead of the Adobe Reader icon (which is what I's like to show up). Solutions? Thank you.

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Opening a file (viewed as icons) from within application icons too large!

Help! I'm not a newbie LOL.. I don't know when this error happened but apparently I cant just do a command J to get the view options to pop up while in an application. Here's my problem. I can view files as icons prefectly from within finder. I setup the default a long time ago and it is formatted fine. Now when I open a file from any application, for instnace firefox or NeoOffice.. .. all the icons are like 120x120 in size.. annoying. I attempted to use Alt-J to pop up view options, no go.. it appears you can't bring up view options while opening a file as an app, you can only alter view type.. icons/list/etc. Is there a command I can issue in applesrcipt or whatever to popup view options so I can fix this ?
I THINK I know how I foobarred it. I was playing around with preview and I jacked up the icon size so I can see larger images of the home movies I created.
that was when I was running 10.4.x
I've been looking through the knowledge bases, I didn't see anything.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanls.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Excel 2010 Dialog Boxes Hidden behind Application causing application freezing

Recently upgraded to Office 2010 (32bit) /Windows 7. Have hundreds of users that we support and so far most have upgraded. Noticed with some users though - not all - just a small percentage, when they click SaveAs in Excel 2010, the application
freezes. On closer scrutiny we realized what was happening was the SaveAs dialog box was BEHIND the main Excel window. The only way to restore it is to click on the tab from the Taskbar or minimize all the windows to FIND the SaveAs Dialog box.
Understandably this is causing these users stress and inconvenience. It is very unproductive and a nuisance to say the least. The only other variable here is that all these users have multiple monitors, usually 2-4. But for some, this happens
in their main monitor and/or the monitor that Excel is opened in and which has the focus. Even more strange is that this does not occur to everyone, just a handful of users so far who have reported the issue. We have also noted it happens
with other dialog boxes as well, not just the SaveAs so it seems generic in that sense.
The other item with this issue is that it's not persistent. Users have reported it's sporadic and comes and goes.
Is this a bug?
Any feedback greatly appreciated.

AIM Application Icon does not appear when using Today Theme

When using the 'BB Dimension Today' theme that came with my Blackberry Curve, the AIM application icon does not appear. If I change back to any of the other themes, the icon reappears. Any ideas as to why this is the case, or how I can use both the 'Today' theme as well as AIM?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Frums
Are they hidden behind another icon ? or just hidden (click menu and show all). Sometimes that happens.

Are application icons embedded objects?

I'm using Access 2010 with an .accdb format file. I tried to add a custom icon as the application icon in options. This works fine on my machine but does not appear to transfer to other machines, i.e., the .accdb when opened on another machine
displays the default Access icon. I had assumed that the icon was embedded once it was set in options. Must the actual icon file be present and accessible at the path specified for it in options for all users? That would seem rather silly.
As per usual with Access 2010 I can't find any good documentation on this.
-Bruce

That icon is indeed not embedded. I always put my application icon in a shared folder on a server...usually the same folder as the back end. I'm talking about a split database with the users having a local front end and linked tables to the back end.
If you haven't got to that step yet make sure you have the icon in the same folder as the database and give the icon's path the full path.

Applications Icon in Dock looks like Address Book

Hi -
I'm suspicious about why my Applcations icon in the dock doesnt look like the Applications icon in the Finder window. Instead it looks like the Address Book with something hiding behind it. Really!
Is this correct?
If not, how do I remedy this?
Thanks,
J2
Message was edited by: Josh2000

I believe you have the folder set to "Display as Stack". In this display mode the dock icon tries to show you the icon representing the topmost object in the folder, which is usually Address Book in the case of the Applications folder. You can have the dock display the Applications folder as just a folder by clicking and holding the button down on the Applications dock icon (or control clicking on it) and selecting that option in the list of options that appears.

The itunes application icon on my dock does not bring up itunes. Haven't had a problem with this in the past.

The itunes application icon on my dock does not bring up itunes. I have no problem accessing itunes from my iphone though, so I believe it is computer related rather than an itunes issue. Haven't had this problem before.

Does the icon in your dock look like this?
Can you open iTunes successfully from your Mac's Applications folder?
Are you running the current version of iTunes (11.2.2)? If not, get it from here:

This could be a plist corruption problem, but I'm not sure.
Sometimes, the preference list files get corrupted. You can usually just remove them and they'll get re-created. This may require you to reset certain settings. A notable exception to this is the Mail plist which actually stores the Library structure of your email accounts. Deleting the Mail plist will definitely cause lots of problems, but is recoverable.
The plist files are stored in the /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ folder. They usually have the naming convention of com.company.programname.plist.
A simple troubleshooting technique is to move a suspect plist file out of the Preferences folder and start up the app, again. It will re-create the plist from scratch.
In your case, I would try the com.apple.dock.plist. You can use Activity Monitor to kill the Dock app and it will restart. Or, you can log out and log back in.
There is a new file with Leopard called com.apple.dock.db. I haven't figured out what it does, but you might try moving it out. If anything gets worse, you can move the old file back in replacing the newly created one.
This all sound somewhat odd, so I don't know if this will help.

Somehow my application icon in the dock has disappeared and I have no idea where it went or how to get it back. I am not all that computer knowledgeable. Thanks for your help.

Somehow my application icon in the dock has disappeared. I have no idea where it went but it contains all my applications that i use. How do I get the application icon to return to the dock. Thanks for your help. I am not computer literate by any means. Thanks

Goto your application folder, find your app then drag/drop it back to the dock.
