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.)

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

I think that is happening is that the microphone is on during this recording. If you play the music through the iPhone speakers, it will record this sound, albeit at very poor quality. If you say anything (or laugh uproariously as I did while watching the app in action, then that, too, get recorded.
I am still looking for the solution we all want, which is to save the audio in reasonable quality.
Anyone out there with some ideas?
Cheers,

Can the Dock in Yosemite be made transparent? I would also like Safari to paint to the bottom of the screen with the dock icons floating over the window.

Is your battery swollen?
Could you please re-state your complaint using the most simple language possible? What you have written reads like three overlapping and contradictory complaints.

HI
I Am having a problem with the sound/speaker on my iPhone 4S. Have no sound for media services ie iTunes but I can hear people when they ring me. Any ideas?

If you have a docking station try putting it on there. I lost my sounds, docked it and they came back immediately.

Fixing the problem with the Device Not Recongized by WMP and Mediasource problem with MTP devi

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!!! I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER FAILED SOLUTIONS BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH MY WHOLE POST TO MAKE IT WORK!!!TRUST ME!!!
ok, now I read this a billion times, and felt that I was the only idiot that had a "bad" computer that didn't allow me to use my Zen mtp device... but it turns out I was more idiotic than I thought. I hope this helps those who have the same problem I had...here goes...
When you go to the Creative Labs website, go to Support, then Knowledge Base, then go to the MP3 players picture in the PRODUCT CATEGORY and click on it. You need to follow the steps that are described on the SID0053 Product Article. Then click on the Editing the System Registry link towards the bottom and it will tell you what to do...BUT there is something that I never ever did right and I bet lots of other folks didn't do right either. Once you are in the USB Properties seccion of the registry, YOU ACTUALY HAVE TO ADD THE WORD "EVERYONE" INTO THE ALLOWED SECCION!!! Not just because it says "Administrators" and what not means that EVERYONE IS ALLOWED, allow the word "everyone"thne click OK. Now, I did this with my Zen Touch on and plugged into the USB port and without the word DOCKED on it, as it wouldn't dock for me before this. that's it... hope it works for you, if it does then almost instantly the word DOCKED should appear on your MP3 player's Display. Hope that everyone has the same luck as I did. if not, I'll pray for you, I know how frustrating this problem is because I delt with it for toooooo long.

I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
2) Select "Properties"
3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually is doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

Any charging problems with the classic?

I recently bought a new 6th gen nano to use mostly in my car. I have an Alpine deck with the ipod connector cable. Everything works fine except that it wont charge when connected to my car.
So i've done a bit of searching and that seems to be a common problem with the new nano's. People are having trouble charging them with anything other than their computers.
I am going to return the nano and would like to get a classic to try. Has anyone experienced any problems with charging the latest classic on docks, wall chargers, in their cars, etc?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Check that the LCI in the dock connector of the iPhone hasn't been set off as shown in the article below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3302
Try a reset aswel:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down for atleast 12 seconds
- release both buttons as soon as you see the apple logo appear
