Icons on righside of Dock are not fanning

Hi There
HOpe this turns out to be an easy fix. The documents & download are not fanning when I click on the icons and the options are set to fan. I would appreciate any assistance. Thankyou

Thank you so much for your quick response. I realize that i was holding down the primary mouse button on the icon and that's why it wasn't fanning. I'm just supposed to click and let go. Thanks again.

Mail icon is missing from Dock and not in Applications folder. What to do?

My email icon disappeared from my dock when I turned off my computer. In the past I go to the Applications folder and just drag the Mail application to the dock and I am good to go. Now my Mail program is no longer in my Application folder. Is there a site I can go to and download the Mail application for MacBook? I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8
Thanks!

I actually found the System disk and reinstalled all of the Applications (including Mail), but when I went to open it, it said "this version of Mail does not work with the Operating System (Mac OS X 10.5.8). What now?!
Thanks.

Why the 3 little icons on the upright corner are not in color, just wondering

Does anyone knows why the 3 little icons on the upleft corner in the aperture window are not in color ?
i'm just wondering.

That is by design.

VERY strange behavior-- desktop and dock are not working

Hi all,
My friends' macbook is really messed up and she doesn't have applecare. She is running 10.4.11 and suddenly her desktop stopped responding, and her dock disappeared. Specifically, her desktop is plain blue, and her folder icons are there but they can't be clicked on at all. The dock is missing but the menu on the top is fine. She can open up the finder and navigate to everything via the "go" menu and open everything-- all apps work etc.
I tried going into the dock part of system preferences, and then system prefs crashes. I tried opening the activity monitor and quitting the "finder" process and that didn't help. The dock process doesn't show up at all.
I also tried resetting the PRAM, repairing disk permissions, and booting in single-user mode and running fsck -y. Fsck -y gets stuck on "repairing B-Tree" and then says it can't repair the hard drive.
So I put in her install DVD and tried to run disk utility from there. "Checking B-Tree" showed up in green for a while, and then I got a red error message that the HD could not be repaired.
Now it doesn't boot at all (grey screen, and then it shuts down-- even in safe mode) AND when I try to run the install DVD, the HD doesn't show up as a destination folder. Yikes!
Any advice on what I can try next so she doesn't have to take her computer into apple? She has everything backed up, at least!

Hmmmm, if the drive isn't showing up it may be dead or dying, but Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.

Icons of firefox menu bar are not shown properly

I've recently updated my firefox to Version 35.0, When I opened it the icons for the menubar are missing. I tried using the suggestions found in this site:
1.Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
2.gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled
3. reset firefox to default
but not of these worked. I haven't noticed if there are changes in web sites though. But it's just frustrating that i can't see icons on my browser

Did you try to click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette window?
Try to rename (or delete) the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

App on dock will not remove itself

I had an app (Firefox) that quit working so I unchecked "keep in dock" and dragged the icon to the trash but it jumps right back on the dock. I deleted the app from the application folder and redownloaded the app and it is now in the app folder. I dragged the new app to the dock and I now have two Firefox icons on the dock.
How do I get rid of the dead icon from the dock?
Andy

Hello Andy:
You remove icons from the dock by simply dragging them to the desktop. The icons in the dock are not applications - they are simply pointers to the actual application.
unchecked "keep in dock"
Out of curiosity, where did you do this?

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time. Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well. Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day. MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

Selection screen fields are not clearing..!

Now after executing the report, when i click on "back" icon the selection screen entries are not clearing even i refresh the select-options also.
Could any body please help me to resolve this issue??

Hi,
Use FREE MEMORY after the report is printed..
Check this example..
PARAMETERS: P_MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR OBLIGATORY.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: / P_MATNR.
FREE MEMORY.

HT2474 when I am opening any application including safari, these icons are not showing in dock, how to get open applications in my dock?

when I am opening any application including safari, these icons are not showing in dock, how to get open applications in my dock?

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.

Cairo-dock bar icons are not being displaying correctly

I have an intel HD4000 3rd generation (lvy bridge) and extra/xf86-video-intel 2.21.15-1 (xorg-drivers xorg) installed. My laptop is a i7-3630. When I launch cairo-dock using opengl the icons in the bar are not displayed until I move the mouse over and once displayed, the tooltips are not displayed correctly. I mean, icons appear when the cursor passes over them. This is only happening in 3D panel and curve view. The rest of view, parabolic, static panel, etc... works perfectly.
isn't intel HD4000 compatible with opengl?

I have tried what is stated here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ion_method
but it does not work, using sna hardware acceleration instead of uxa:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
EndSection
If I launch cairo as:
$ cairo-dock -c
or
$ env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 cairo-dock -o
then it works.
Also, it seems to be a bug, see here:

I had the same issue when I first tried cairo-dock on my ZenBook (Core i5). In addition to missing icons or backgrounds, everything looked like it was covered in static.
What are you using for your X compositing manager? I'm using OpenBox with LXDE components, so at the time I was using xcompmgr for compositing. I didn't have much success with either OpenGL or Cairo acceleration.
However, I recently switched to using Compton from the AUR as my compositing manager. With Compton everything about cairo-dock works flawlessly using OpenGL. You might give that a try and see if it helps.
Also, if you're on the most recent version of the Intel drivers SNA is now the default acceleration method, so you no longer need to manually enable it in your xorg.conf.d files.
I am using the default that comes with gnome3, mutter.
I have installed in my system the below packages:
extra/mutter 3.10.0.1-1 (gnome)
extra/mutter-wayland 3.10.0.1-2
extra/clutter 1.16.0-1
extra/clutter-gst 2.0.8-1
extra/clutter-gtk 1.4.4-4
extra/mash 0.2.0-3
I have installed compton and also cairo-dock and cairo-dock-plugins. Once I execute it from terminal by doing cairo-dock a lot of errors, the same as posted here in the previous post appear, and automatically advanced config view is opened. THen If first time i swith to basic view, it remains in advanced view, and If a second time I try to switch to basic view, then it exits. Any ideas?

Ok, that's plenty of space.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

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:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

I restarted my mac and many apps and files disappeared. It's like it booted to a state several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?

It's like it booted to a state it was in several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?
The files on my desktop are not the ones that were there when I shut down. It's like it's gone back in time.
My display's power supply got fried (I think) in a power outage so I bought a new one. However, every time I restart the display usually stays black. I have found I need to keep rebooting until it kicks in and starts working. I unplug everything, wait a while (a few minutes to overnight) and try booting again.
This last time the display finally came on but I'm faced with this problem. I used to use time machine, but I deleted everything and disabled it a couple months ago or more so I'm at aloss as to why the mac is booting into the state it was in sevearl months ago.
What could I have done to cause this? Has this ever happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
Note: I did a search for a file I knew was created today. I found it and it showed that it was a file I had saved on the desktop this morning--even though that file's icon is not appearing on the desktop now.
I did a search for photoshop and saw my CS5 version listed.
However, I did a couple more searches and these files no longer appear in the search. I don't know if they're there or not. This is bizarre!
I'm on a Mac Pro, 10.6.2.

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.

My dock does not show what files are open... Any way to fix?

My dock does not show if a file is open. No little arrow shows up, and when I click and hold on an icon of an open program it acts as if it is not open (still giving me the open program option, and not showing me force quit options, etc...).
Advice please?

This issue makes me wonder what "genius" at Apple designed the new Dock display. I'm by no means old or losing my sight, I wear glasses but other than that no problems. So why is it so difficult to see those balls under the active apps? They are so blended in that it's not easy to see them at a glance. Why not at least give us the option to adjust those settings.

Icons on righside of Dock are not fanning
