Problem with the Dock icons in OSX 10.5.3

Not sure if this is down to the recent OSX update but ever since I applied the update my dock icons, or more specifically the text above them looks like this:
http://idisk.mac.com/darrencraig/Public/Pictures/Skitch/dockicons02-20080603-184256.jpg
http://idisk.mac.com/darrencraig/Public/Pictures/Skitch/dock_icons-20080603-1840 27.jpg
You'll notice the background where the text is is not graduated as it should be on either side.
Any ideas how to fix this?

That looks like the problem I occasionally have (since the background of the dock also seems missing) Does a fan-view of a doc-stack draw no icons?
If it is the same problem I don't think it is related to the update (I had it on all point versions), and logging out and back in might fix it.

OpenLDAP Server have Problems with the automounter of Mac OSX 10.5.5 client

Hi,
we are using OpenLDAP Server on a Debian OS base. I had connect the LDAP Server with the MACMini with Mac OSX 10.5.5. The LDAP Server is based on OpenLDAP running on Debian Linux.
The Users can login on the Mac Computers and they do have the right goups. I have a problem with the autompunterMaps because the homes and volumes are not mounted in the Mac environment. So the users have a different home directory at each computer and no volumes to work with.
The LDIF I use for the automounter is following:
dn: ou=automaster_directlinx86, ou=autofs, ou=ai,
dc=TechFak,dc=Uni-Bielefe
ld,dc=DE

In the /etc/auto_master I added the line
SRC base="ou=ai, dc=TechFak,dc=Uni-Bielefeld,dc=DE" scope=ALL
filter="(&(|(objectClass=automount))"
to mount the /volumes but just the volume /vol and /homes are mounted to the Mac OS System.
Thanks.

Hi.
Have a look at http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20061126220622764

Problem with the Mail icon in the dock

Hi,
The Mail icon in the dock show me that i have 153 new mail in the little red circle, but I have none in the mail application... Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thank you!

hahah... wow, that was weird, there was a bunch of email marked as unread in one of my folder. But there was no way to knew it, don't have any numbers of unread message beside the folder name... anyway things are ok now.
Thank you Mulder.
By the way sorry my english is not very good, glad you understand me

After upgrading to leopard, I have this problem with the Dock

Any time I try to remove an icon from the dock, it crashes and restarts, hence I am unable to ever remove items from the dock!
Any ideas on how I might fix this?
Thanks in advance!

If you do not want to do that, I would probably do an archive and install (it will take you about two hours):
I suspect that this might be yet another of those things linked to the way migrating Tiger user accounts to Leopard can cause permissions issues that an Archive & Install (with the default option to preserve user settings) will not permanently solve. I think the easiest way to eliminate this possibility is to create a new user account in Leopard & see if the problem persists. If it does, & continues to do so after repairing systems permissions with Disk Utility, then it may be worth the time to do an A&I; otherwise probably not.

STiLL problem with the Dock in Mountian Lion

I have a terrieble problem.
Each time i point at the dock with the mouse, the dock disappears, the background is flashing gray and then the dock appear again.
I have read all threads about this problem, and I have:
- deleted the dock-file in /Users/Mac/Library/Application Support/Dock
- deleted the com.apple.dock-files in /Users/Mac/Library/Preferences
- tried to login as another user at the OSX
- restart the mac in Safe Mode.
--> in Safe Mode i works! And when i restart into normal mode it works . . . until i restart the computer again. Then the problem is back again.
I have Macbook Pro 17'' mid 2009, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
The OS is: OS X 10.8.2
Thanks in advance!

Found the answer!!
Go to the font catalouge --> disable the versions of Lucida Grande that has a warning sign (for me it was Bold and Regular).
Now it works.

Since installing 10.6.4 problem with transparent Dock icons

Hi there;
I installed the Mac OS X 10.6.4 update via Software Update on three Macs. So far, so good on two of them. On my MacBook Pro, 10.6.4 is running fine except for a small but annoying problem. Some of the icons in the Dock are transparent now. The icons for Mail and Safari are transparent. If I drag those icons off the Dock and replace them with new icons, the new icons remain solid for a few minutes, then go transparent again.
Has anyone else noticed that problem and if so, have you found a way to fix it?

Hi Stanley,
Have you tried deleting the com.apple.dock.plist & com.apple.dockdb.plist?
Have you tried LaunchServices?
Have you tried in Safe Mode?
Copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Problems with the dock

Hi i have just upgraded to mountain lion and my dock is not working properly at all, its like it freezes when i hover it with the cursor.
Normally the icons will expand a bit when i do it now just the first icon does it (sometimes and sometimes not)
anyone else got this problem?
yes i have checked my settings

Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash this files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist EDIT: Sorry
com.apple.dock.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset your Dock the way you like them.)

Few problems with the dock. Creating App stack, and removing apps from dock

OK.. I am running leopard 10.5.4, and decided I wanted to use the app folder as a stack. I made my new folder with the alias' inside. However, when I went to move it into the dock, 9on the right side of the sizing bar), the other stacks failed to shift out of the way, so I couldn't add it in.
Another problem is that I can't see to remove apps from the dock. I have admin rights, and they are not active, hence the desire to get rid.
Anyone have an idea??

Erm... Doh! had dock 'locked' in Onyx...

I have a problem with the connection icon

When i connect my ipod into my computer it all the time says "do not connect" even when itunes isnt open. is there a way to change it back to the regular charging screen with the battery on it instead of the "do not dissconnect"? i have a problem with this becuase it is hard for me to know when my ipod is fully charged. thanks in advance

If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

Trouble with the dock connector??

I have no clue why my Ipod is doing this or if its the cord. Ill plug my Ipod into the computer, and nothing happens. If I lift the cord up right where it plugs into my ipod it'll start charging. So unless i use the case to wrap the cord up over the screen and hook the cord to the belt clip to keep a constant pull on it, it won't connect or charge. Though i have used another cord and i still had to do this to charge it.
Can anyone tell me why it's doing this? and how I would fix it?

Have you tried cleaning the dock connector slot on the iPod? You may have a problem with the dock connector and it needs replacement. If you have an Apple store nearby you might want to make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

Can we solve this problem -folder with the exclamation icon

What is this folder with the exclamation icon?
Why it happens only to the iPod connected to PC?
Why it is the toughest problem to be solved?
What causes it?
Just would like to share my experience with all of you, my niece has a mini iPod that connects with a PC, however, after ejecting the iPod a few times inproperly, her iPod showed this most notorious evil icon. I followed all the instructions from the Apple web site in this forum, I did nearly ten times of Resets and Restores (I managed to restore but not everytimes), still failed to get rid of this icon, and it jsut would not disappear in the iPod. I just got very frustrated and I asked myself should I connect it with a Mac? Why not? So I connected it with my Mac, no surprise, then I put it in Disk Mode and reconnectted (few attempts), the iPod icon appeared on my Desktop but I still could not do the restore.
As I believed that iPod was the same as an external Hard Disk, and it was broken anyway, why not have another try - so I opened the Disk Utility and saw the iPod there, then I did an Erase (format) the iPod, once completed I reconnected with my Mac again, after 4 attempts, the iPod updater window popup and asked me whether I would like to do a restore, I finally managed to get rid of this icon. I connectted it with PC and was able to do a restore in my PC and got recongzied afterward. It has happened almost for 6 months and I heard that this iPod is still working fine.
My suggestion is - unless you need to do the update of song with your iPod, never and ever charged your iPod via connecting with the PC, I leave my iPod with the Bose docking system and it has no problem at all.

My suggestion is - unless you need to do the update of song with your iPod, never and ever charged your iPod via connecting with the PC, I leave my iPod with the Bose docking system and it has no problem at all.
I always use the iPod AC charger to charge my iPods and I have never had any problems.
The initial cause of the problems in your post is probably that several improper ejection of the iPod. If you do not have a Mac the problem may not be solvable by yourself.

My ipod comes up with the itunes icon with it wanting to be attached to usb but I do that and my computer no longer reconises it nor does the charger or dock.

Whats with the itunes icon and the usb wanting to be connected pictures??? My ipod won't charge or be recongnised by computer, charger or docking station. Help Please.

- Try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring via iTunes
- Next try DFU mode and restore.
