Keyboard shortcut in Leopard for autohide dock toggle not working?

Hi all,
I have a question about a keyboard shortcut in Leopard.
I've recently started auto-hiding my dock, using the checkbox in system preferences. I find this gives a nice clear screen for most situations, but would like a shortcut to effectivly toggle that checkbox on/off.
I read about command-option-D but this doesn't seem to do anything. I tried killall Dock, but that didn't help.
I found some reference online searching to TextExpander causing problems, but I do not have that installed (couldn't find any reference of it on my machine).
One thing that does work is ctrl-F3 which brings the Dock up from hidden. Only thing is as soon as you click on an application it dissappears again. What I really want is to toggle the auto-hide option on and off with a keyboard shortcut.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

go to system preferences->keyboard&mouse->keyboard shortcuts. make sure that the shortcut to auto-hide and show the Dock is enabled and is set to commandoptionD. those are the defaults but maybe yours got changed or disabled for some reason.

  • I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

    I have had the same problem. It was cured by turning computer off and/or restarting it. I am not sure  if once was enough. I think shutting down must cut out whatever it is that blocks bluetooth. Good luck

  • My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. It rejects the disc. Problem after reinstall of backup from hdd.

    My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. I had a new harddrive installed in November and the MacStore installed my backups from an external harddrive. I do not use it other than to upload programs, so I have not tried using it until tax season, but it rejects the disc. The ata file indicates no dvd firmware, but the serial-ata does indicate firmware for a dvdrw. What might I do about this to bring the dvd back, least expensive to most?

    Yesterday I started having the same problem. Can read disc (play movies and music) but blank disk are ejected or idvd cannot see the blank disk. I have a almost 12 month old 27" i7 imac.

    How are you resetting the password?
    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • Can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi  ?p

    can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi  ?

    The problem is I cannot turn on wireless setting.  The "sign in to icloud  -- enter appleid password" popup will not go away. when i enter the pw and click ok, the same balloon pops up again.  If I click "cancel" it pops again. Since I am not on the internet (because I cannot turn the ipad wireless on) the sign in to icloud obviously will not work.  Vicious circle.

  • Valuation Basis for Different Payment (BWGRL) not working in 2010

    Hi
    We have a commission wagetype which we entered in IT 2010 in Number/Unit field. 
    Since we don't have premium id available, we used "Valuation Basis for Different Payment (BWGRL)"  to enter the RATE.
    This RATE is not working during our payroll run, however when we are using the wagetype with premium ID it is working fine.
    My question is- What could be the reason that the Valuation Basis for different payment is not working ? 
    I checked the wagetype in V_512W_B table and it has the following configuration-
    Current wage type
    Valuation Basis = BLANK
    Statement/WT = BLANK
    %Rate = 100
    1st derived wage type
    Valuation Basis = BLANK
    Statement/WT = BLANK
    %Rate = BLANK
    2nd derived wage type
    Valuation Basis = BLANK
    Statement/WT = BLANK
    %Rate = BLANK
    Would appreciate if the the fix could be provided.

    Hello,
    I think in your case for commision wagetype you need to modify rule $930 to process the override rate from Infotype 2010 BWGRL field in case you are using the US standard schema.
    The valuation basis table V_512W_D and rule $930 together will determine the valuation basis.
    The default valuation basis comes from table V_512W_D.In case you want to override the valuation basis rate defined in this table,you need to maintain override rate in It2010 and accordingly have the logic defined in rule $930 for that particular wagetype .
    Following is the sample rule definition for a similar scenario.
    ****(commision wagetype)
      NUM= ANZHL Set
      RTE= BWGRL Set
      RTE?0      Comparison
          MULTI NRA  Multipl.amt/no/rate
          SETIN X=NX Set variable split
          ADDWT *    OT   Output table
        =
          VALBS0     Eval.0.WT in 512W
          MULTI NRA  Multipl.amt/no/rate
          SETIN X=NX Set variable split
          ADDWT *    OT   Output table

  • "Number of bands" toggle not working

    A few of us on this board have noticed that when using the Apple AuGraphic equalizer that the "number of bands" toggle at the bottom of the viewer that switches it from 31 to 10 bands does not seem to work. It remains 31 bands no matter what.
    Has anyone else experienced that? Is it a bug or are we missing something?
    Thanks

    I wanted to ask here first to see if I was doing something wrong before I reported it.
    Did you happen to see my other thread also about the Apple Eq? In addition to the "number of bands" toggle not working, I can't get the eq to have any effect on audio clips. Could these things be related?
