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.

How do you find what files are open?

I have a disk utility that needs to unmount my secondary drive but it is unable to stating there are open files. I know there is a UNIX command that shows what files are open but I can't find the command. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
The command you are after is lsof. Read the manual to find out about the options (there are an awful lot, but most of them you won't need).

Open/Save Dialog does not show new files?

Say you are working on a logic file in a folder and you have
a few audio and movie files in that folder, and you launch
Logic and via the open/save dialog window you add a few
files to your song and in that dialog window you can see
all the files in that folder.
Then, in the Finder you add a few more files and movies to
that folder and again use the open/save dialog window to
add more files BUT the new files you added since launching
logic are NOT SHOWN in the dialog window ! ?
What's the deal with that?
Every other app can show files added since the launch of the
application, why not Logic?
PowerBook G4 1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

project manager
um, yeah.
Should not need the project manager simply to see new files added to a directory in a Open/Save dialog window since last opening the app.
I did a scan, a extended scan, opened all the little turn down arrows of the
full path to the directory I knew there to be the new files and yes, Logic
shows them there in the "Project manager".
BUT Logic still does not show the files in the Open/Save dialog windows.
This is strange because even simple app like TextEdit can show
new files in it's Open/Save dialog function windows without the need of
a project manager.
I have to quit and re-launch each time to see any new files?

Portlet repository-- Seeded providers does not show Portal Content area

Hi,
When I login to portal as admin user go to administration --> Display portlet repository--> Seeded providers does not show Portal Content area.I tried to search but no results shown.
Any idea as to how to get it back ?
Thanks and regards.
Neeti.

1. From the Portal Object Navigator, click on the Applications
tab.
2. In the "Find" box, type %search% and click "Go"
3. There are 2 reports you need to modify, depending on which
portlet provider you want to use: RPT_SEARCH (owned by
people_app) and SEARCH_RESULT (owned by wwv_system)
4. For each report, click the "Edit" link
5. Click the "Display Options" tab
6. Under the "Full Page Options" heading, change the "Size"
for "Row Text" to 12. (If you are running the reports as
portlets, then you must also change the "Size" for "Row Text"
under "Portlet Options".)
7. Click OK
Search results are now visble using either portlet, the Oracle
Portal provider or the PEOPLE_APP provider.
You may also need to change the field settings on the hierarchy
if now when you run the people search you receive SQL errors.
Here is what worked for me (assuming you want to change both
users components):
1. On the Application Tab search for %search% and %detail%
components. You don't need to change the WWMON components.
Change the font size on the full page and portlet options
(Display Options Tab)for the heading and text (I use 12 and
11pt). Otherwise the default can only be read with a magnifying
glass.
2. The org chart components are slightly different. Search for %
org% and you will find 2 components org_chart and orgchart. Both
of these need to have the column fields changed (Table or View
Column tab) as well as the font size for the Parent, Child,
Grandchild (Display Options Tab). Here are the Table Column
settings (for some reason they are initially blank - yet will
fail if recompiled without values):
People_App.Org_chart
1. key values:
primary key - empno
parent key - manager
start with - empno
ww_system.orgchart
1. Primary Key Column WWSEC_PUBLIC_DIRECTORY.ID
Parent Key Column WWSEC_PUBLIC_DIRECTORY.MANAGER
Start With Column WWSEC_PUBLIC_DIRECTORY.ID
Hope this helps. The second half of the answer provided by Rich

Not trying to start any argument here, but if you would have checked the requirements for using an iPad with iTunes on a computer, you would have seen that Windows 8 is not supported.
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

FF5 does not show images that are 'moved permanently' (http response 301)

Our web app shows maps from OpenStreetmap. The webapp is secure, that is, is uses HTTPS. Now, IE complains horribly when the web page tries to load <img> via HTTP, because it's mixed content that that is considered baad.
So our webapp serves the images by responding via HTTPS with a 301 (moved permanently) to the real OpenStreetmap URL (with is HTTP). That fools IE to not complain.
Now, Firefox 5 suddenly does not show the map images AT ALL. This has worked beautifully with previous version (and all other browsers).
What's wrong?

I fixed the problem. (YAY!)
It was the way I embedded the files -- the Dreamweaver default does not work properly so I used the embed from this generator: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html#alternativeContentHelp which now lets my navbar and swfobjects load properly. I also made sure that my slideshow (loader.swf) was set with wmode = opaque while the navbar is set to wmode = transparent. The div for the nav bar has z-index set to 5 while the div for the slideshow has z-index set to 1. Both have absolute positioning. I hope this helps anyone in the future that has trouble with overlaying flash (.swf) files.
Thanks for your reply and trying to help me solve this issue!

Photoshop Open dialog does not show all files

I've been noticing that unconsitantly the Photoshop Open dialog does not show all PSD files in a folder, some are just plain missing. In Finder they show up like normal though. Anyone else with this problem?

The open and save dialogs are provided and mostly run by the OS, not the application.
It sounds like you might have a filter set on your open dialog (like the search option).

Finder does not show new files with older creation dates

Short story: when I somehow create new files or folders with older dates, Finder does not show them.
This happens e.g. when I unrar archives created some time ago: the files or folders coming out of the archive get their original date, which is earlier than today.
I can see those files and folders without problems in a terminal (using ls). But they don't show up in Finder when I visit the same directory.
When I use terminal to go into some directory that is not yet visible in Finder, and I open a new Finder window for that directory from within terminal (using "open ."), the new directory and its contents will show up in Finder.
My best guess is that some things have changed in the way Finder and the indexing of my flle system co-operate. In any case, this is higly annoying.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389)
Macbook Air - 13 Inch - Mid 2013

I have the same problem. I create files and they do not show up in their respective Finder window. I know the files are there because I created them and I can see them using Terminal and applications can open them. If I refresh the window by going to the parent directory and back again, the files do not show up. If I close all windows and open that specific window again, the files still do not show up. If I leave the computer overnight, the new files still do not show up. As brdsutte stated, after rebooting the computer, the files show up in the Finder window. Anyone have any suggestions?

CS3: Bridge does not show dng-files

First it started to refuses to show NEF files, and now, it will not show dng files - or at least some of my dng files.
What the H.... is wrong with this crap?

But I do not understand, why Bridge suddenly cannot see them - when it could a couple of days ago
CS3 is known for being the worst version of Bridge with very strange behavior. Might be preferences or cache related or some other strange reason. Fact is that using old software for new digital cameras has the only advantage as being cheap. You do miss a lot of functions, options and especially quality for developing your Raw files. CS6 has a complete new Raw process version called 2012. And since you use CS3 you still will be at process 2003 and already missed process version 2010.
So you seriously should consider buying CS6 ( you missed the option for an upgrade since this was shut down per december last year due to new upgrade policy) if you want to get the most out of your expensive new dSLR
