My itunes doesn't open from the dock... when I get it open by spotlight it froze when I was trying to burn a CD.

Hi stork38,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It sounds like the application is having an issue burning the CD.
I would suggest you Force Quit iTunes, eject the disc and then open iTunes again.
Then try burning again with a different CD.

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

IPhoto 8.1.2 doesn't respond after opening from the dock

i am running 10.6.7 on an imac purchased last fall. the iphoto has been a pain most of that time. it will open if i am importing photos from a digital camera (where inserting the memory card into the computer prompts iPhoto to open) but will never work when opened from the dock. the iphoto screen pops up and then I get the spinning wheel icon, and when I open the "force quit applications" utility, it tells me iPhoto is not responding and I have to force quit. are there any other answers out there besides "repair disk permissions"? that has not worked. thanks!

Another test:
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

I have multiple iPhoto libraries and when I selecting which library to view (hold down 'option' key and launch iPhoto from the dock) it automatically closes another open apps window eg. Chome, Word. 1 app closes every time I launch iPhoto this way.

If you're pushing Option at the exact moment you're clicking the Dock icon, it's supposed to do that. Wait until just after clicking it.

Mail won't open from the dock

Hi. Since upgrading to Mavericks Mail and Safari wont open from the dock. Even if the apps are open. I have to right click and select "New viewer window"
The net result is I end up with several open windows, but even if I click "bring all to front" nothing happens.

Hi, I tried that before, did not work.
Found this on another page. Problem solved.
Great news, in that case this is user a specific issue which we should be able to resolve by moving one plist.
*Note read the instructions carefully and ask quesitons if you don't understand something.
First > Create a folder on your desktop so we can backup the plist that we removing that was it can be put back if anything... Call it Dock Plist
Second > Open a Finder windows > up on the menu bar click on "Go" > Hold the option key on your keyboard and you should see Library come up click on it... This will place you inside your user specific Library folder aka ~/Library...
Third > Go into Preferences folder > locate a file called com.apple.dock.plist and drap/drop into the folder you created on the desktop
Fourth > Click on the Apple (top left) > Logout... Log back and test it. The system automatically creates a new com.apple.dock.plist with no settings so your dock will go back to default, test mail and see if that resolves the issue.

Why won't my applications open from the dock?

I have my frequently used applications on my dock. Recently, when I click on an application to open, or try to open an application, it bounces once on the dock and then does not open. At times, it even "hides" in the dock. This does not occur for itunes, safari, dashboard, photobooth, or the finder; only things like word, excel, my digital camera download application, etc.
Help!

Yes, I've tried that, and then when I click on it to open, it bounces once and then disappears from the dock. Darn it! Any suggestions?

I have a I-MAC and have used firefox, but lately it will not open from the dock, any suggestions?

As stated above, have used Firefox from the dock for quite a long time, but recently it did not do anything when I clicked on it, just sat there. Have been able to get to it using spotlight, but even then have to go thru extra steps and go thru a step that says something like "this application was downloaded from the internet. Do you want to open it? YES/ NO " Any ideas ? Should I dump it and reinstall, and if so , how would I uninstall?

Within minutes of reboot, apps won't open from the dock, Applications folder or Launchpad. Already running apps appear unaffected. What should I do?

I installed Lion on my late-2009 Mac Mini a few weeks ago. Within the last week, a strange problem has cropped up. Just a few minutes after reboot, my Mac Mini stops opening applications. I can try to open applications from the dock, or the Applications folder, or Launchpad, and nothing opens. Applications that have already been opened appear to be unaffected, as long as I don't close them. If I quit an application, I cannot re-open it.
This does not appear to be related to any updates or changes. The problem began while my Mac Mini was on 10.7.1, and persisted after an upgrade to 10.7.2.

Hello, how exactly did you move these other files, & what were they?
Open the Applications folder, does iMovie & iPhoto work from there?

ITunes will not play from the Dock?

I upgraded the yesterday to iTunes 7. Since I alway have had this icon in my Dock and click on it from there, I opened the Applications and copied the newly installed iTunes.app to the Desktop. I then dragged it into the Dock. Now I ended up with the icon both on the Desktop and in the Dock. If I moved the Desktop icon to the trash, the Dock icon would not open and gave an error message that the application could not open because it was in the trash. If I then moved the app in the trash back to the desktop, the Dock icon would open iTunes.
How do I get the icon to reside only in the Dock as before upgrading it?
Thanks

Leave the iTunes icon in Applications. Do not put it on the Desktop. Open your Applications folder & start iTunes. Either R-click or Option-click on iTunes in the Dock. Select Keep in Dock from the contextual menu. Or just drag iTunes icon to the Dock from Applications.

Receiving message "your Mac OSX start up disc has no more space available for application memory."
This has just started in past week, I removed about 6 apps from dock to see if it cleared it but message still appears. Mac is iMac 5 with Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Would appreciate some help.

The message has nothing to do with available disk space. There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Opening mail application from the dock sometimes doesn't open window.

In Mountain Lion, sometimes when I open Mail on the dock with a single left mouse (or touchpad) click, the Mail application opens, as shown in the menu bar, but a mail window doesn't open. I must then click or double click on it to get it to open a window. No other application in the dock behaves this way. How can I fix this?

Is there a problem with mail opening from the dock?
NOPE! Do you have open at login enabled? Is Mail listed in Login Items through System Preferences?

My itunes icon has disappeared from my dock on my MAC.

My itunes icon has diusappeared from the dock on my MAC.

It's fairly easy to accidentally pull an icon out, but you can just as easily put any icon you like back into the dock. In the Finder, go to Applications. There, find iTunes, and drag its icon into the Dock.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock. The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open. However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock. When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down. However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder. No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!
