Icons for running apps are not showing in the dock

I just noticed that newly opened apps were not appearing in the dock. I then closed and deleted some apps that had been residing permanently in the dock, and started them again. Their icons did not reappear. I'm running Leopard on a G4 ibook. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?
Also, that little light which comes on under the icon in the dock if the app is open does not come on for Safari. Even though it is open, the icon sits there with no light. Why is there no light, I wonder.

delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults. see if that fixes the issue.

  • I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1. The apps I had previously installed are not showing on the screen. They are located in App Store icon. How do I move the icons so they are showing on the screen.

    You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.

  • Notification on apps are not showing until i open them ??

    notification on apps are not showing until i open them

    Hello captin007,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like apps show notification only after you open the app. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Understanding notifications on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Verify that the app supports notifications. 
    After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • Apps needing access to Contacts are not showing in the Privacy pane of security

    I have apps like cobook and Alfred that need access to Contacts but they are not showing in the Privacy pane of the Security & Privacy System Preferences.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Log out, log back in, and test. All your privacy settings will be reset to their defaults. If there's no change, put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place, and log out again. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Several artists are not showing in the artist list on the Ipod.

    Ok. As the title implies on my Ipod there are several artists that are not showing in the artist list. However, in Itunes an artist is clearly defined. I even changed the artist name and still had no outcome. The album is there....but I have to sort through the artist list in order to listen to the music. Can someone help me figure this one out?

    The "missing" artists probably have their albums tagged as "Part of a Compilation" and you have the Compilation setting turned ON on your iPod. Either turn Compilations off (go to +Settings/Main Menu+ and +Settings/Music Menu+ and disable Compilation on both menus), or edit the tags to remove the Compilation option. Compilations are intended to be used for multi-artist albums, but often you'll get an album from a single artist tagged as a Compilation since the Gracenote database has an error in it.

  • IOS 5 - Notification are not showing in the lock screen knowing that the option view in lock screen is active ?

    Hi ,
    After Upgade my  iphone4 to ios 5 ,  Notifications are not showing in the lock screen knowing that the option view in lock screen is active ?
    Regards
    HM

    I experience this also sometimes (whatsapp), is this a bug??
    sometimes when a person writes 2-3 messages in a row (for instance) in whatsapp (im in standby mode), it sometimes only displayes ONE message in lock screen mode (though he/she wrote more than 1), and sometimes shows the right corresponding written messages!
    Why is this?
    its really annoyoing when you get messages in lock screen mode BUT it doesnt stay and remain so you notice it. That way you get missed messages etc and notices it first...when doing the "pull-down list".

    iPhone apps don't work on Macs and Mac apps don't run on iOS devices like an iPhone. If you sync an iPhone to a Mac, the apps from the iPhone are stored in the Mac's iTunes app's media library as a backup.
    The App Store app on a Mac is not the same as the App Store app on the iPhone. The Mac version is the Mac App Store, apps for Macs. The iPhone version is the iTunes App Store, apps for iOS devices.
