Shortcut for showing and hiding the dock

Here is a quick question - is there a keyboard shortcut to quickly hide and show the Dock? This helps when using some applications that force the window beyond the reach of the Dock and place their OK and Cancel buttons beyond that region, forcing me to hide the Dock in System Preferences.

Option-Command-D
Also see Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts.
You can also configure the Dock to autohide in Dock preferences.

  • HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

    When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?
    i'm just wondering:
    a) why it does this
    and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why I cannot open the application that I already installed on my mac. It's appears for a moment on the dock,but suddenly disappear again. I installed PES 2012, and my mac is pro with OS 10.6.8. Anyone could solve this problem please?

    I installed PES 2012 on my mac. It succeed, but when I click it in order to open it, the apps appear just for a moment on the dock then suddenly disappear. I'm using Mac Pro OS 10.6.8.

    Usually that means it's not compatible, likely a 10.5 program and Rosetta can't run it or it's not there, you need to check with Konami, they have a community forum/support there to answer your questions
    Check the operating system and machine requirements with them, perhaps there is a update or a patch you need to install to get it to work.

    If that isn't a help, all checks out, then come back here as it's likely a OS X issue after that.

  • DW 2014.1 keyboard shortcuts for "Code and Design" gone

    Option has disappeared for setting keyboard shortcuts specifically for "Code and Design" (or plain Design either, for that matter)?  Split Code option just gives you two code windows and all the other options in Shortcuts are for Live View, not Design view.

    Alt-F11 does not help me in this situation because you still cannot toggle between showing Code and Design versus all Code, or all Design. Live options have replaced Design options, but even then, you cannot make a shortcut for Code and Live (though it's available in the View menu). This screen shot shows what has disappeared.
    Again: Ctl + ` does not toggle the VIEW, it toggles the active PANE.

  • Getting Applications folder to show "properly" on the dock

    I upgraded two machines to Lion and the Applications folder shows up on the Dock as it was under Snow Leopard.
    Today my new MBA arrived and if I try to put the Applications folder on the dock the first Application shows as the icon. I can't find a way for it to use the "blue folder" I know they want us to use Launch Pad but.......

    Sorry but that is what I did. You have to put it below the dots where open files go but it does not give you a folder it gives an icon that looks like your first icon in the Applications folder which happens to be the address book. It isn't exactly the same because the address book looks like it is part of a big stack of other icons.

  • I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store.

    I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was.  I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

    I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software.
    The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems  with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.

    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
    If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist    That will take you right to that file.
    (.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
    It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

  • Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics.

    Hi,
    I've come across this problem in which Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics. I try pressing the short cut for Command + B or Command + I
    but it does not affect the text at all. I have to move my cursor to the Bold or Italic icon to change a particular word's form.
    Of note, Command + U allows me to underline a word just fine. I also write my mail in the default Helvetica, and in size 12.
    Anyone know of a solution? I'm pretty sure it's just a glitch, but it's become a great annoyance for me.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4?

    Is there a way to set custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4? When I change my keyboard shortcuts preferences for Photoshop, they don't change for these filter interfaces. Is there another way?

    what is the problem ??
    I tried to change the shortcut for the Vanishing Point and Liquify from
    Edit -> keyboard shortcuts(button) -> keyboard shortcuts (tab) -> filter (tab)
    and you will find these filters :
    double click on it and make a new shortcut
    but it MUST be Ctrl + (any letter) or you can make it Ctrl + Alt + (any letter)
    but if you made it just one lettre like S for example
    you will can't make a shortcut.
    hope I understood what you ment ???

  • Why do Java web applets show up in the Dock sometimes?

    I use web-based gradebook (Infinite Campus). At times since upgrading to Lion, when I load this Java applet through Safari and begin to interact with it, it pops up as a Dock icon. This never used to happen under Snow Leopard. I can't tell if it's something different with the applet or with Lion/Safari 5.1, but I'm assuming the latter. Can anyone shed any light on this? Why would a Java applet show up in the Dock as its own icon while runnign within Safari rather than just running "faceless" within the Safari window? Is there any way to change this behavior on my end? I've poked around in the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences app, but I haven't found anything relevant. I've tried re-installing the Lion Java runtime, 10.7.2 Combo Updater, and Safari 5.11, to no effect.
