"Keep in Dock" not there
I want to keep icons in the dock. When I hold down the mouse (even tried control-click) the "keep in dock" choice isn't there. I deleted the plist for the dock, didn't fix it. Any ideas? My "test" account which hasn't had any changes to it at all, does the same thing. I thought I saw a keep in dock choice before.
I recently installed ONYX but don't know if the "keep in dock" didn't show up before that.
Thanks.
"Keep in Dock" will only appear in running applications that are not already chosen to be in the Dock. Launch an application from the Application folder that is not in your Dock and then either click & hold or right click and you will see it.

Download Folder in Dock not there
I did an Archive and Install of Leopard on my MacBook. I had the Application Folder in the right hand side of the Dock in Tiger but when I installed Leopard the Download folder never appeared. Even when I drag the Download folder from the Finder to the right-hand side of the Dock it appears as a document icon but not as the default Download folder with the arrow. I also clean installed on a G4 Mac Mini and this problem did not occur.
The downloads folder is a stack in the dock. Which means it behaves as a stack -- it will show the "top" icon in the folder (which is the "top" item depends on the sort option... right click (or control-click) on it and choose the sort order you want).
There is no way to get it to use the "original" icon once there's something in there. This is the way stacks currently work. -
Safari will not "keep in dock"
Recently Safari (v3.1.2) has refused to stay in the dock. If I drag the icon to the dock from the applications folder, it disappears in a few seconds. When the application is open, it's icon sits on the right hand side of the dock, just like any other application which is not normally in the dock. Whilst it's there, I've tried selecting "keep in dock" from the right-click menu. But when I quit, it disappears again. Also, whilst Safari is open, if I try to move the icon from the far right to any other place on the dock it zips back to the right hand side after a few seconds, and then disappears when I quit.
I have searched this and other forums and it seems like I'm not the only person to encounter this problem. The only "solution" I have found posted is a complete re-install! I have tried deleting the dock.plist and dock.db files. After I restart, the default collection of dock items appears, including Safari. Seconds later, however, it disappears. I just cannot get it to stay where I want it and it's driving me mad! Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!Hi riseoftherobots, I re-asked this question on the forum about the Dock and got some help there (although no straightforward answer, seems it's not a straightforward problem).

My iPhone, iPad and iPod are all associated with the same Apple ID. How can I remove the iPod and associate it with a new Apple ID without affecting the data on the other devices (note: there is no data on the iPod I want to keep)?
Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

I'm trying to install iTunes 10.3 on my PC (windows vista) and I keep getting this message, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I accidentally removed the Bonjour service from my system a few weeks ago, but my iTunes continued to work. Now I have no iTunes and I don't know how to fix it. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
a colleague of mine suffers from the same problem. did a quick look on the apple support pages. found many topics covering the same problem.
also saw 1 marked as correct answer... (just browse the discussion pages before you ask, this answer appearantly was sitting there from oct. 14...)
(i'm not on windows, so i can't test...)
good luck!

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,

I am getting the PowerPC applications are no longer supported error, so I downloaded Libreoffice and can not find it on my hard drive anywhere. It did say it would install to Applications, but it's not there. How do I find it and can I put it in my dock?
In Safari's preferences:
Look in the folder displayed where you see the arrow. The actual Downloads folder is found in your Home (user) folder. -

Hi, new user here. We're running eMacs in a small school computer lab (15 total), on 10.4.11. When I log in to any eMac as a workstation (where I log in with administrative rights), I'd like to add applications to the dock. However as I drag the apps over to the dock, they are not accepted, they only bounce back to where they originally were. I tried to open the apps I want to keep in the dock--when they are there and opened, I control-clicked on the icon so get the "Keep in Dock" option but it wasn't there. It only says "Show in Finder" and "Quit." I'd love to get this sorted out. Many thanks in advance!
It's not totally clear from your description what the set up is... But am I right in thinking you have an administrator account on each eMac plus a managed "workstation" account for students?
If correct, log into the admin account (logging out of workstation first) and go to System Preferences/Accounts. Unlock the padlock icon. Click the workstation account icon, go to the Parental Controls tab, check Finder & System, hit Configure button... In the tab that comes up, check "Modify the Dock" button.
Log into the workstation account; you should now be able to drag applications to the dock.
