Not all applications appear in dock when running

Hello!
This is a minor problem, but I'd like to solve it- sometimes when I launch an application, no icon appears in the dock. I can see it in Application Monitor, but not in the dock.
I can drag the app's icon to the dock, and it seems to "stick", but there's no little light under it while it's running, either. Is this an issue with the app, or with OS X?
Thanks in advance!

I believe what Kappy meant was that so-called "faceless" applications (those that have no icons in Activity monitor or graphics user interface) won't appear in the Dock. All others that are open should, even if hidden, with windows in the background, or with no open windows at all.
Since weblizard says, "I can drag the app's icon to the dock," I assume that is probably not an issue here (unless weblizard is talking about certain Core Services apps or the like). The cause is probably a corrupted file, either (or both) the plist already mentioned and/or com.apple.dock.db in the same folder.

  • Not All Applications Appearing in iTunes

    Some of the apps that I have purchased appear in iTunes, but not all of them. How do I get all of them to appear?

    I too am having this same issue. Purchases made on my 16GB iPhone do not transfer back onto my iTunes.
    - I only have one Apple Store account.
    - I have tried the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes and that appears to do the work of copying the applications, but after all is said and done the applications still do not appear in iTunes.
    I am using a new unibody MacBook running OS X 10.5.6, iTunes 8.0.2. iPhone is a 16GB 3G running 2.2 (5G77) firmware.

  • Not all photos appearing in ipad when synching from mac?

    Not all my photos which I have synched from my MAC appear in the IPAD. Any ideas why?

    Do you get any error message ? Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync to see if they then copy over ?  The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

    I just verified my Apple user ID and password but certain updates won't download (gives me the signal that I'm incorrect).  I keep changing it, verifying but not all applications let me proceed.  So I can't download itunes software updates or update my iphone even though I have just verified my info.  I know others that have this problem but can't get support to resolve it.

  • On a Contacts search, not all contacts appear

    Hi
    I have iphone 5, ios7.
    Seemms very odd recently, not using groups - all contacts are displayed. But when I use the 'search' in the Contacts App, not all contacts appear. Dispite the fact that if I scroll through manually, I can see and access the very contact I was searching for. This applies to quite a few contacts without any apparent consistent link between the tricky ones.
    Any ideas folks?
    Many thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply :)
    The search doesn't work even if I put in a name exactly as its listed. It used to be for example if I typed 'A' then all the names starting with 'A' would list but now I get nothing.

    If I create a partition for Bootcamp that is at least 30 GB in size, is that all the storage I get when running Windows?

    There are differences between each Mac and what the original configuration of the Mac is/was. If your Mac originally came with an Optical drive, burning the ISO to a DVD and using it will work. Hardware modifications like Optibay will cause problems. Modifying Bootcamp info.plist will cause problems. Disk Utility partitioning will cause problems. A custom Hybrid MBR will cause problems. External Optical drives are unlikely to work. There is long litany of grief.

  • When launching and opening tabs from links in outlook express not all tabs appear

    Since upgrading to Firefox 21 when I click on links in emails in Outlook Express not all the links open new tabs, but when I attempt to close Firefox it says there are more tabs open than are being displayed. Firefox also becomes sluggish to non-responsive during these "evolutions". If I open Firefox first before clicking links in emails it does not display this behavior.

    The DDE fix does not appear to address the same problem I'm having. I receive no error windows or indications of any kind, the tabs just never appear, yet when I close firefox it will ask me if I want to close all "X" tabs ( and X appears to equal the number of tabs I tried to open).

  • .pdf files created in Photoshop - Not all layers appear in Connect

    So I have created a marketing flyer in Photoshop that contains images and text.  I save this out as a .pdf file and upload to Connect.  When I open the file, many of the layers, usually the text layers, are missing.  I've tried saving the original Photoshop file a number of different ways, like flattening, etc, and the .pdf file a lot of different ways.  But it still appears in Connect missing some of the text layers.  BTW, the original .pdf file is fine.

    Understand that not all Adobe PDF features will translate completely in an Adobe Connect meeting if using the Share Document pod.
    When you upload a Powerpoint or PDF file using that pod, the document is converted on the fly to Adobe Flash format so it can be streamed very efficiently. Not all features in Powerpoint and PDF files will convert to an equivalent look and feel when converted.  If you see inconsistencies, then try using a different font or font size. Some features just won't translate. Of course as new versions of Adobe Flash are released then more features will convert. So, beware that if you must have a document look exactly as it does in the native application you always have the option of screen sharing where no conversion takes place. Just beware when you use screen sharing you are using a lot more network bandwidth. It's a trade off but you do have a choice!

  • Why did not all applications transfer from iphone 4 to ipad2?

    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter.
    iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

  • My mac mini hard drive crashed. I replaced it but now not all applications work. How do I fix this?

    When my mac mini (late 2009) hard drive crashed I installed a new one. During the process I used migration assistant to bring in my time machine backup. When finished I did not have all applications...iPhoto, CC Cleaner, Chrome, and most importantly Reunion all failed to load. I have since manuay fixed Chrome and CC Cleaner but still do not have Renion or the OSX iPhoto and other apple OSX applications working. Can someone help or driect me to the right forum?

    Restore failed to provide all the applications and data. Took the mini to Apple genius today. They reinstalled OSX (same as I had done) then confirmed that the applications were not backed up to time machine...they will be in the future. After reloading each individual application they now work as expected and all the data seems to have been restored. Except the Reunion files which were near and dear. These are gone forever. Somehow, perhaps through my negligence, the 'GED' files were not stored in a "Reunion" folder and were not backed up...much like the apps. Now I'm trying to recover the files from the crashed drive.

    The number of tabs that you can show at once is limited by the size of the canvas. If you have too many tabs, then you can set up one tab to be a 'MORE'. When the user clicks on it, it hides the current set of tabs and displays the set of tabs that were not shown. By having a MORE for each set of tabs, you can toggle between the sets of tabs. The Help documentation describes how to show and hide tabs, and how to set focus to a particular tab.

  • Not all songs appearing in Artist view

    I have an issue where under Artist view, which is what I normally use to browse songs on my iPod, not all of the songs that are stored on my iPod appear. So far, it appears that if I have an artist with songs under only one album (and tagged as such) and also a few miscellaneous songs that aren't tagged with album name information, then when I select that Artist under the artist view, it automatically opens the album and only shows those songs. When I hit menu to go back, it just goes back to the listing of all artists I have, instead of giving me an "All" option that will allow me to see the additional songs that I have. If I want to find those songs, I have to scroll through the list of 3500+ songs under the all songs listing, which obviously takes forever, even scrolling quickly.
    I have verified the tags on all 3500+ songs, and have reset/reinstalled and deleted/reloaded all software and songs, multiple times.
    Is this a bug? If not, how can I get these songs to show properly under the Artist view?

    There are a couple of things you could check out that might explain what's happening. Usually two things contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album.
