NO Dock or Expose, NO Background! PLease Help

Around 11:00 this morning i received Leopard. I installed just like it said, let it run through everything, the computer rebooted and then no dock, no background, no expose, no dashboard. Nothing with these seems to work anyone have any idea. I tried to reinstall and the same thing.

I found that a document in my documents folder was crashing my dock repeatedly so i simply moved my documents folder and renamed it.

  • My iphoto icon has disappeared from my dock and applications folder. Please HELP

    I tried clicking on the iphoto icon in the dock and nothing happened. I went looking for it in the applications folder and it wasn't there. I then moved the icon from the dock on to the desktop and it poof'd into thin air! GONE. What can I do? Please help! VERY upset.

    reinstall iPhoto from the restore disks that came with your computer -
    reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

  • Problems with titles and backgrounds PLEASE HELP

    At the beginning of my movie, I have inserted a title (pixie dust) which prompts me to include a background. I have done so. However, when i play the movie in full screen sometimes the title doesn't even show up at other times the title shows but without the pixie dust feature. I have tried to rectify this using precision editor but it doesn't work. When I play the video in the project library the pixie dust feature shows up. Please help. What am I doing wrong?

    This seemed to be a bug in iMovie v.8.0.6. I have the same problem independently of the font and the background but only at the beginning of the project.
    To avoid this problem make a short transition before the title clip and the text will appear in fullscreen mode too.
    Good luck.

  • Recording audio can't get rid of fuz in background please help

    so i have had my macpro for about 3 months i have been making hiphop songs flat out. my vocals have always been crystal clear im just using the inbuilt mic but yesterday i got a usb plug for my guitar i stuffed around playing guitar on gb for a few hours than i went back to finish one of my rap songs now wen i went to rcord my vocals there is like a fuz in the background it sounds so bad i cant even use it i have tried changing recording levels but it just wont go back to the quality it was before. i am really stuck and need an answer has anyone else had this problem i cant do anything until its sorted. thanks guys

    its still doesnt make sence y its picking up more background noise s as well as the fuz. and y wasnt the fan working earlyer it just seems like it happened after running my guitar through garageband.
    the fan is designed to ramp up and down based on how hot the computer is running. so if you just used the computer for work that ramped up the CPU, it would be running hotter and the fan would kick in. once the computer cools off, it throttles down.

    understood! it's understandably frustrating that you buy a computer only to learn you have to buy MORE STUFF! just to do what you bought the computer for. the thing is, the built in microphone isn't really designed for music. it's like a phone microphone - useful for its tasks, but not something you'd expect to get a good recording through.
    while it's frustrating to encounter the need to buy more stuff, on the other hand, when you realize you have a studio in your computer more sophisticated in some ways than what the Beatles were using, and all you have to buy is a microphone and maybe an interface... overall, it's still not a bad deal!
    if all you need is a better microphone, you could buy a USB mic which isn't much and plugs directly into the USB port of the computer:
    http://www.sweetwater.com/c981--USB_Microphones
    here are some audio interfaces (you'd need to buy a mic separately, but you'd plug the mic and the guitar into the interface to get the sound into the computer, with the result that both would record in higher quality):
    http://www.sweetwater.com/c695--USB_Audio_Interfaces/popular
    (note that if you bought an interface, you would NOT buy a USB mic, since the interface would have the USB (or firewire) connection to the computer. you'd buy a standard mic, plug it into the interface, and plug the interface into the computer).
    here's a new-ish combo USB mic, guitar interface that's pretty good:
    http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/one.php
    Also, please understand, while what I'm saying about the fan kicking in when you run the computer, and the value of using an external microphone and/or interface is true, since I'm not actually where you are, checking out your computer setup, there's no way for me to tell 100% what's going on. if you are happy with what you were doing, and suddenly started getting distortion, there's always the remote possibility that it's something else. what i'm suggesting is only the likely culprit from having encountered this before!
    Finally, to understand how computer-based recording works, while the computer is the heart of your studio, and a contemporary computer has a lot of components stuffed into it out of the gate, for professional results, it's really just the start! A pro computer-based studio can use interfaces, microphones, and other outboard gear that can quickly run into the thousands of dollars, and then add some more zeroes!
    good luck!

  • I am getting no sound from my iPod, although it works when on dock and with headphones. Please help

    I am getting no sound from iPod, although works when on dock and when headphones are in. Please help

    Does Ford say it will work with the 4G iPod?
    Contact them.
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the car system
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    It just may not be compatible.

  • Hi when i have been using iWeb for the whole week and all of a sudden i wanted to open iWeb but nothing came up? the tab at the top says that iWeb is open but i have no image i can't edit or do anything to my web site i just see my background. please help

    Hi
    Iweb Wont open on my desktop. in the tab it shows that it is open but i cant see the iweb page?
    thanks 

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If Roddy's suggestions fail to help continue with this:
    1 - open iPhoto and select a couple of photos.
    2 - use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option.
    Give it a couple of tries if the first one doesn't help.

  • IPod to tv thru dock..HOW?? Please help!

    Just bought a dock for the 20 GB iPod with color display. I own a G4 powerbook that came with a S-video to RCA cable. This cable fits the dock but a slide show won't play on my tv. The cable is fine, because my powerbook plays movies through the tv alright. Is the only way to play a slide show through the iPod dock is to have a tv with s-video input? That would be a bummer as my tv doesn't have this.

    It's just the pin assignments.
    The ipod video cable just solders some of the pins in the 3.5mm jack differently.
    It's the same normal video cable, except instead of plugging the yellow ringed jack into the video socket in your TV, you plug in the red jack.
    You don't need to follow the assignments of Yellow for Yellow, White for White and Red for Red.

  • Using PNG files with transparent background - Please Help

    I just purchased Elements to do a very specific task which I can’t do in Aperture. I am a former photoshopper (V.5) and excited to be back.
    I am doing a book/scrapbook and the majority of my text will be my own handwriting. I use white paper and black ink and I scan in at the highest settings. My goal is to create my handwriting on a transparent background so I can place it in my book as I choose. For this specific project (which is very large in scope) I wanted to keep my image/file management within Aperture.
    So I import my file (of my handwriting) from Aperture and successfully saved with a transparent background. Adobe said I had to save it as a PNG file. I noticed when I saved in Photoshop there was a warning saying I had to save as a copy.
    Aperture does not see the file when I try to import it back. My interchange between aperture and photoshop is fine otherwise. This problem only seems to be with “unflattened” layered images. When I flatten the image it is recognized by Aperture, but I lose the transparent background in Photoshop.
    If anyone sees flaws here or has a suggestion to “isolate” and save my personal handwriting image files I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    Would probably work best if you first export from Aperture as PSD (if possible, like Lightroom) and then save to preserve layers.
    From the PSD save as PNG24 rather than PNG8 which is better for preserving transparency.

  • Can't view borderless tables on black background - please help.

    In CS3, when you viewed a table on a black background, the table was visible because of a dotted white line. In CS4 (I'm on a Mac by they way) the table outline was only black and I read that they never fixed this issue.
    Does anyone know how I can view a borderless tables against a black background in CS5? I want to change that dotted line to white.
    I appreciate any feedback. This issue is driving me nuts.
    Thanks!

  • PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

    PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox.  Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
    When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions.  It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app.  But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone.  And not in the Deleted box.  Just gone.  Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up.  Please help.
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
    Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
    At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
    Next...
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
    At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
    Select All = command A

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • Please help: PPC Tiger 10.4.11, dock crashes after security update 2008-008

    I had no problems so far, everything worked great on my iBook G3 PPC 700Mhz 10.4.11 till I installed the latest Apple Security Update 2008-008 through Software Update in System Preferences. After restarting my system is gone crazy. The dock crashes like every three seconds, usually when I click on something, besides that I cant click normally, I have to like click 2 or 3 times to get something opened and also the mouse jumps from one place on the screen to another place on the screen. A security update is ought to fix a problem, not to create a problem. I cant and wont do a new systeminstall, it will take me days to get my iBook back in the state it was a couple of days ago with all the applications and other third party components. Please help me fix this problem to get my iBook back to normal as it was a couple of days ago.
    Thanks in advance.
