Key stroke to hide and ahow dock no longer works
I can no longer hit the keystoke (appleoptiond) to hide and show the dock. I can hold the key combination down and make the Dock disappear, but when I release the keys, the dock re-appears (think of an icon/pogo-stick). I'm running 10.4.6 on Dual 2ghz G5 . . . It worked just last week . . . any thoughts?
P.S. I've run both Onyx and Applejack, and reset both the p-ram and keyboard shotcut defaults . . .
Yadz,
And when you hit the same key combo, does the doc re-appear? Unfortunately-Yes...
If the plist removal did not work there is one more simple troubleshooting step you can try. Open Activity Monitor, find Dock and use the "Quit Process" command. The Dock will relaunch automatically. You could also repeat the plist removal procedure.
Are there any Keyboard Shortcuts in the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference that can explain the problem?
If none of that works create another user test account. Can you replicate the errant behavior in that new test account?

Hi all,
Can anyone help with my dock problem.
It wont show it's self anymore. I can turn off "Auotmatically hide and show dock" and it seems to function ok. But if i have that option selected it wont reveal, when i roll over the active area, it strobes/flashes the names of the applications but no dock.
Had same problem after several resarts and a night shut down.
yuk...
I'm running 10.3.9 with all updates, on a single 1.8 G5.
Thanks inadvance!Hi s!, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and delete that file. Then log out and back in or restart. You will have to reset some Dock icons.
If that does not sort it, navigate to yourhome/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Again, log out and back in again or restart.

The function of the F keys at the top of my keyboard no longer work as they used to. The actions they do no longer correspond to the symbols that are printed on them. For example, the volume buttons no longer control volume and now change the display to full-screen instead, and the brightness buttons don't do anything at all.
This started today and I'm finding it very irritating. I checked in System Preferences and didn't find any obvious way to turn most of them back to what they used to do.
Help?In System Preferences > Keyboard uncheck Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.

The Macro Express works in all other browsers (and programs), but no longer works in Firefox.
The up arrow and down arrow works in all other browsers, but in Firefox, instead of moving down (or up) a line at a time, the page moves way, way down (or up). The Page Up and Page Down buttons work only part of the time... if a down arrow (or up arrow) was used, the Page arrows move the page but not one page up or down...many pages up or down.
If I need to change back to an earlier version of Firefox, I will do this. Please tell me how to make things work the way they should work.You may have switched on caret browsing.

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car.
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.
Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works. I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated.
I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer. It worked a couple of weeks ago. Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8 and iOS 7.0.4. I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off.
I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again. Any suggestions?So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?

4th gen touch and iTunes Match no longer works
I have a 4th gen touch, and iTunes Match no longer works - I choose it in settings, and it just turns itself off a few seconds later - it worked before, and I had to restore the iPod, and it doesn't work any more.
Hi randy_m,
If you are having issues with your iPod touch turning off iTunes Match unexpectedly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPod -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPod as a new device -

Numbers 09 and Pages 09 no longer work after 10.6.5 update
I have the last version of iWork 09. After the 10.6.5. update Numbers 09 and Pages 09 no longer work.
Keynote 09 is fine.
Both Numbers 09 and Pages 09 open, the window for choosing a template also opens.
I am not able to choose a template. Waited for several minutes ... no chance.
Removed the software, re-installed from DVD, updated to the latest version ... this did not solve the problem. Contacted Apple support , went through many steps with no success.
Were you able to use Numbers 09 and Pages 09 after recent Mac OS X update ?
Any ideas what I could do ?
Thank you for help!May you try to run the applications from an other user account ?
If they behave flawlessly, the culprit is in your original user account.
In such case, it's often one or several preferences files which are corrupted.
Try to
quit the applications,
move the preferences files :
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers. plist
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
to the desktop
restart the apps.
If they behave flawlessly, you know the culprits. Trash them.

I had to reset my Apple password and now my iTunes and iCloud passwords no longer work. How do I get them linked again and under the same password. I've tried my new password on each login screen and it isn't accepted.
Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,

Just upgraded to CS 4 and duplex printing no longer works
I'm trying to print a 2-sided document to an HP Laserjet 9500 from InDesign, and the duplexing no longer works. The printer still duplexes from my other Mac running CS2, so I'm wondering if something happened when I installed the upgrade.
I cannot get the dueplexing feature to work on our HP P2055 with InDesign CS3 & CS4 for the MAC.
HP P2055 Printer Driver from Snow Leopard.
From InDesign CS3 or CS4 (MAC) I send a two page Landscape document to duplex print. Only 8.5" from the left edge on both sides print. It's like it is only printing through a portrait mask.
Now if I make the document Portrait, then it prints fine.
The booklet printing is ever worse.
If I print with PCL instead of Postscript (Generic or the HP Postscript) the dueplexing works, but it prints the oppisite side flipped.
From a Windows Vista machine running CS2 everything works great.
On the MAC I can create a PDF from InDesign, open the PDF and duplex print the the same file fine.
On the MAC MS Word duplexes fine.
Anyone have insight on this InDesign/Printer issue?
