Not all open apps in dock show as active

Using 10.5.4... and I think this problem dates from the update.
I have a bunch of apps icons permanently in the Dock, but not all open apps show with the 'open' indicator below.
And some programs open, and do not appear in the Dock at all.
What can this be?

Hi.
Have you tried trashing the Dock's preference file? Username > Library > Preferences > com.apple.dock.plist?
If you do, you need to restart your computer afterwards.

Open Sysem Preferences from your Apple () menu top left in your screen then select the Firewall tab.
Make sure the Firewall is turned off.

Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?

The format keeps changing but the basics remain...in the center of the screen are large images of the recent apps which you can close by swiping up and away.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My iPad mini won't update my apps. I have closed all open apps, done multiple resets but I show 24 updates and when I hit the update, the screen is blank.

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

IIRC, OPTION-click on the Apple icon on the menu bar and select either Restart or Shutdown. Alternatively,
Control-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then restart the computer
Control Option-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then shut down the computer

Is there anyway to close all open apps at once?

Unfortunately, there is not a way now to close all apps at once. You will have to close them one by one.

How to close all opened apps?

How do you close all opened apps? I do not think sliding the app card off the screen closes the app, so how do you completely close them?

Direct answer: you can't.
Here is what the User Guide says:
To close an application or a screen, in Card view (see Manage
applications in Card view), throw the card off the top of the screen. If
cards are in a stack (see Work with stacked cards), you can only throw
one card at a time.
You close the apps by throwing the card away, plain and simple.

Possible to use Autmator to quit all open apps?

Is it possible to use Autmoator to quit all open apps?
I'm looking for either a script, or a utility, that will quit all the apps I have open at one keystroke (apart from hitting the shutdown button)
The "FunKeys" utility used to do this, but it's not compatible with Intel Macs.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

You can use the following AppleScript in a "Run AppleScript" action and save it off as a Finder plug-in to give you a contextual menu.
I have put in a test to prevent Script Editor from being quit. That could be removed if you need it to be.
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "System Events"
set theProcesses to name of application processes whose background only is false
repeat with i from 1 to count of theProcesses
set thisProcess to item i of theProcesses
if (thisProcess is not equal to "Script Editor") and (thisProcess is not equal to "Finder") then
my QuitProcess(thisProcess)
end if
end repeat
end tell
to QuitProcess(thisApplication)
tell application thisApplication
quit
end tell
end QuitProcess</pre>

I selected "update all" to update my apps, entered my ID and they all went to "waiting" and none of them started updating. Tried shutting down (several times), it was plugged in, I closed all open apps...tried uninstalling and reinstalling 1 app and it still is waiting? Thoughts?

See if any of these suggestions help you. They have worked for others in the past but YMMV.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Thank you so much

If you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

How do I close all open apps in iOS 7?

I want to close all open apps on my iPad 2 iOS 7. I used to click twice quickly on the start button then do the same on one of the apps and they would all then appear with a minus sign whereupon I could tap each one and it would close. This doesn't happen now. How can I close open apps in iOS 7?

Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

Check the sort options in the Events mode. Sort by Date - descending so the newest events will be at the top of the window. There's be a single event for each month titled like htis: Mar 2014 Photo Stream. All new photos added to the Photo Stream from your mobile devices in March will be imported into that event.
You can try the following to "jump start" the Photo Stream:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively.

Not all Conversations in Outlook 2010 Show as Expandable Until Selected

Hi,
I've recently noticed that when using conversation view in Outlook 2010, not all of the conversations show the expandable arrow icon to the left. When the email is highlighted, however, the arrow appears and the conversation can be expanded as usual.
There doesn't appear to be any common factor in whether the arrow is initially shown or not (for example whether or not I was the last person to respond in the conversation, the other person or people in the conversation etc.).
I've observed this in other people's Outlook as well, so am wondering if anyone knows if there is a setting that I'm missing or if this is somehow 'by design'?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
We haven't seen such issues here with conversation view. However I still would suggest you to try out the following:
1. Get Outlook, Word and MSO on the latest updates. Please refer the link below to check for the latest updates.
How to install the latest applicable updates for Microsoft Outlook (US English only) :
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2625547
2. Check the issue in safe mode
3. If the issue is still seen then disable all the add-ins and check the behavior again
4. If the issue is still seen then please create new outlook profile and check the behavior
5. If we still see the issue , then please uninstall office and reinstall back and check the behavior
6. If we still see the issue then create new windows profile and check the behavior
Once you have exhausted the steps and issue is still seen, then I would appreciate if you can open phone support case with Microsoft so that we can collect logs and analyze the same and help you out to resolve the concern.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Not all of my Photostream photos show up in the iPhoto Library

I have my iPhone WiFi-enabled so that photos are usually uploaded automatically to my iMac before I sync. They show up in Photostream but not all the photos show up in the iPhoto Library. When I go to edit one in Photostream, it takes me to a copy in the Library, but that's the only way I can locate it in the library - the missing photos don't show up in either Events or Photos.
I'm concerned that I'm losing some shots as Photostream rotates thru the most recent 1000 pics.
I'm on recent Mac OS and iOS, and have had Photostream enabled for almost a year...
