Pls help me solve the case of the disappearing apps (Firefox & Mail)...

Hi
Can anyone help?
Last week I noticed that both my Firefox and Mail apps had mysteriously disappeared from the dock. I dragged them from Applications to where I normally 'keep' them (left end of my dock). Immediately they jumped to the right end of the dock in the space before the divider and the area for Documents and Trash. Other programs along my dock are fine...they just happily sit there and launch
This was weird in itself. Now, the apps aren't even appearing in the dock and when I go to drag them from Applications, they just disappear unopened from the dock again! I have to open then directly from their place under Applications. This is just a recent phenomenon and one I have no explanation for. It is understandably frustrating.
All my software is up to date. I don't use my MacBookPro every day but I do use it weekly for client work or to watch tv programs I've missed on BBC iPlayer.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Just to add:
On my MacbookPro I:
• Deleted Firefox
• Reinstalled Firefox
• Turned off dock in sync prefs
• Deleted dock prefs
• Restarted laptop...
No change...
(My MacPro is fine...)

Ask the store for a local Macintosh Users Group / Club... maybe someone there can help you. You might check pawn shops in the area for a machine that has a full set of disks. Apple will sell/mail you a set. I don't know of anyplace to legitimately download them... For what its worth any commercial (e.g. full retail version) install of OS X on disk should work for your machine.

Hi dear sir/Madam i have my apple id & its password but i forgot the answers of the security questions and i have no rescue email pls help me how can i reset the security questions? as i have some credit in my account i can not creat a new apple id.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

G'day,
I need some help, i am trying to type into an adobe document using the typewriter function.
However every time after i type the text vanishes. It is almost as if the text is white and vanishes into the background.
This is not the case as the works are not visible regardless of the background color.
The text box remains available and can be edited if clicked on, also if i double click on it the typed words become visible and editable, however once i close the box i cannot see them on the screen.
I would appreciate any help i can get, i cant seem to do anything using properties or view.
Thanks

HT3255 Do the cases for the Macbook 13.3' air 2011 model fit the Macbook 13.3' air 2008 model?

I recently purchased a MacBook Air 13.3' late 2008 model. I am looking for a case. Do the cases for the 2011 still fit the 2008 model?

Generally speaking yes, but check the manufacturer's website to be sure.
I like these:

Where can I buy an ipad2 case with the same design as the case for the original ipad?

The Case of the Disappearing Clones

Ok, here's a new one for me.
I was cloning a cloud edge, and examining my work. The History palette was blocking my view, so I moved it. Instead, it jumped to the palette bar. Brought it back and tried to move it again. Same thing. Huh? I opened it for the third time, carefully clicked on the top of the History and this time it moved off the edge of the image. But look! The clones have disappeared from the image, but they are still present in the palette! I ran back and forth up History and nothing. There they are in History, there they aren't on the image. Not a big deal, redo the clones. Looks better than before anyway, but still, where are the first ones?
(Yeah, I know. Dual monitors and all that. But consider if I have dual monitors, this puzzle never would have appeared! Or would they?)
Win7 64, CS5 with all the patches.
Oh, and Happy New Year.

Thanks for getting back Noel.With a name like yours, tis the season!
Last first. Nothing wrong with dual monitors except for my cramped desk space. I probably will change that as soon as any of my potential clients actually materializes. Been quite slow!
So far as screen shots and such, it would have been nice had I anticipated this event, but there it was and I had to write down what I could recall as to the steps leading up to the event. Saving it would lose history so I proceeded rather slowly to try and glean whatever I could.
Now, a variation on this occurred about an hour later. This time I was using the Burn Dodge tool. I flattened the file first, then proceeded to use the tool, and suddenly noticed that nothing happened when a went backwards through history, as if I didn't actually burn anything. The setting for the brush looked ok, and then I noticed that the file is no longer flattened! WTF! I was deliberate in doing so, and even if I went back to before flattening in History, flattened should be visible and available as I drop down through History. According to History, I never flattened it. This could also be the case in the first instance. I thought I had flattened it but it wasn't. I assumed I didn't flatten.
At this point, I have to consider that a prefs reset is adviseable, but before doing that, I really want to see if I can replicate either event. So far, no dice.
I checked the History setup to see if non-linear History was checked and it isn't. But it sure seems like it is.
One unusual condition is that last night, before going out for New Years, I saved my work but left PS running with the file open. So, this morning, I proceeded to do the little detail work on the open file as I intended to run some test prints.
That's when it all started.
Note: as I am writing this, I'm also checking out the app. I just tried to open PS. The icon in the tray showed PS is not running, but I cannot open it. The executable doesn't run. I've seen this before in Win7 and I usually open Task Manager and shut down the program. I see this on any number of programs, like even Fire Fox. But this time I noticed two versions of PS running. I didn't think this was possible. One shows a large memory component 670,000k, the other about 6,000k. Huh? I shut down the smaller one and get a message that this is an illegal action, but it shuts down anyway.(That notice lasted only seconds and went away.) I try again, I again see the second version in Processes, the same 6000k memory size. Now it shuts down with no notice. I know I saved the file and did tell PS to exit, so I shut down both instances of PS. Now it opens correctly.
I'm of a mind that there is some corruption going on.The fact that programs won't close when I exit does bother me. ( I'd hate to think about reinstalling the whole shootin' match!) What I will do is enable the History log. and see if I can capture any information.

Why should u not leave the case on the ipod while it is charging?

Why should u not leave the case on the ipod while it is charging?

Because charging the iPod battery generates heat which may become excessive if the iPod is left in a case. If you don't allow the heat to escape, then you risk damage to the iPod.

Usually i can use the mouse to highlight icons but the system doesn't respond, the keyboard doesn't work and I have to do a hard reset.

Can anyone pls. help me : facing problem while fetching the data from BAPI

Hi all,
    we have installed xMII in a new server. In this new server I am trying to fetch data from a BAPI & write it into a file thru a transaction, but i cant see the data in the tracer, & neither is the file created. But with the same configuration & connection am able to get the data in the old server. Can anyone pls. tell me wat could be the problem?? or is there anything else that we might have forgotten while installing xMII in the new server.
ur help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sushma.

Hi Ravi,
       no am not able to see the table structure also. This is what it is showing in the tracer :

I doubt the repeater is not working, becoz i checked the JCO connection & thats fine..

Help with a New Case for the ZEN Touch 20

Does anyone know of a case other than the one that came with the player?Something I can use,not like the pouch. It would be nice to change songs or even adjust the volume with out having to pull the player out all the time. If some one from Creative reads this....do you have any idea how much money you can make if you put out a case that gives end uesers access to all functions with out haveing to remove from the case.PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Please Creative!! We need to have at least one case option that allows access to the screen and buttons at a reasonable price. Maybe strike a deal with a current case manufacturer to supply an option for all of the desperate users out here. I'm seriously looking at options to make one myself from materials I can find (actually came across a how-to on making a case out of a milk jug--please don't make us resort to such measures).
By the way, the Vaja case is nice, but $80 (including shipping) is ridiculous IMO when you just need something to hold the player and provide access at the same time.
My 2 cents.

Pls help me solve the case of the disappearing apps (Firefox & Mail)...
