SITTING ON THE DOCK

What is the procedure for permanently adding an icon to the dock?
Thanks,

Hello again Ian,
Which Application are you trying to add to the dock please?
I just re-tested here and it does work - For me at least!
Cheers

Mountain Lion app not downloading, just sits in the dock 'waiting'.

Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I downloaded the mountain lion software from the app store. However, the download just sits in the dock 'waiting' and doesn't download at all. It eventually disapears from my dock and tells me that there has been an error. I have emailed and rang customer support, however, I get passed on to different departments with each staff member saying 'this isn't what our department should be dealing with'. I have been told that it is to do with my internet provider (BT), but when I took the iMac (2010) back to university where I have a different internet provider, it still didn't download! (My iMac has got all the requirements for Mountain Lion).
Any help will be much appreciated as I am really getting no where with customer support.
Thanks!

I hit download, but lion just sits in the dock "waiting" until it finally just disappears.

I bought more memory, I bought the Lion app, I hit the download button, but the Lion icon just sits in the dock "waiting" until it finally just disappears. I've retried the download button as well as restarted the computer. What else?

How long does it 'wait' for in the dock and you mean there is no progress bar at all? And the Lion Download .dmg hasn't appeared in the Applications folder?

IWeb doesn't sit in the dock after installing Mountain Lion? Why is that?

iWeb doesn't sit in the dock after installing Mountain Lion? Why is that?

Assuming you updated the OS on a Mac that has iWeb installed you will find iWeb in the applications folder. See this page for how to open your website when using Mountain Lion...

Sitting in the dock - keeps prompting: this accessory not meant for iphone?

What is up with that? Keeps doing it over and over...

1. It's not aligning properly with the dock. Take phone out and really look carefully at the dock and the port on the iPhone and attach them both very carefully making sure the phone is fully and completely seated in the dock.
2. Even when seated properly, the message may display once. Hit OK and move on.
Here's what I've learned having encountered this (though not the repetitive display of that message):
The old docks for our other iPods really are not quite fully compatible with the iPhone. (Shame on you Apple). Somewhere on this board is a note that the new docks will be coming out soon as these 3rd parties re-vamp. I know I know... where does that leave all of us who have all this stuff that we had working just fine with our iPods pre-iPhone. I dunno but they better come up with some fix other than buy a whole new clock radio, et al.
Business opportunity - make little dock adapters for really cheap that you just drop into all of your older iPod docks that go between the iPhone and the dock on the clock radios, et al that will bridge that gap, so to speak. Maybe somebody is already doing this???

I can't seem to get mountain lion to download. It just sits in my dock and won't load. Tried starting in safe mode an reloading - still won't work.

Very frustrated. I can't sync my music with my phone because apparently there is a bug in the version of iPhoto I have. So I tried to update to the latest and was told it's incompatible with my OS. So I decided to shell out the $20 for Mountain Lion (even though I feel I shouldn't have to since the software I'm using isn't working). Now the download of Moutain Lion just sits in the dock and won't download. I tried restarting the computer in safe mode and redownloading, still no luck.

Edit --> Preferences --> Media and Disk Cache --> Purge. And you might wanan consider substituting any compressed audio sources with WAVs, too, to avoid such corruptions. Similarly, check your audio in a proper audio editing app. Odd sample rates, weird channle mapping and so on can have all sorts of ill effects.

10.8.5 is named 10.8.3 in the Dock. Does not show in Applications?

This seems an odd situaion...
I am trying to create a bootable 10.8.5 installer. I have done this with all of the version numbers... As a "just in case I need to fresh install at any point". It saves on bandwidth usage, not having to download the OS each time... And in the event I want to clean install everything is ready to go.
So, today, I downloaded the installer pack from my purchases list... waited for the 4.45G file... all went well. However, once complete, the installer package did not show in my Applications list... And on trying again the same thing happened. So, I have used a load of my usage for the month. With no istaller package and 10G used almost.
Another thing I noticed was, on hovering over the installer, whilst it sat in the Dock, the subtext listed the file as 10.8.3 ...???
Is there anything I need to do, in order to preserve the package in my Applications list, which I may have missed or overlooked? Prior to creating my own bootable installer. And... has anyone else noticed the subtext issue when the installer is sitting in the Dock?
Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hence my question today.
Because it wasn't in /Applications on two different attempts. And as you have rightly pointed out. As soon as you cancel or shut down the installer self destructs, which did happen...
Has anyone else experienced this...?
And again, as I mentioned above, the Subtext when the installer sat in the Dock pre self-destruct, detailed 10.8.3... which is odd behaviour.
I'm wondering if the MAS has yet to be updated with the new full installer...?

Song in my iphone 4 not loud enough when i play on the dock speaker.

when i play song on my iphone using dock speaker the song not loud enough.. pls help.

If your dock is connected to an amplifier/speaker system try this:
With your phone sitting in the dock, try to increase the volume, using the volume control buttons of the phone. Set it to max and you should have more sound coming out of your speakers.

My macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset. the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from the 'top sites' page.

my macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset.
the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from safari 'top sites' (without a hassle). attempts to reset dock and hot corners from preferences has been fruitless
the mouse also gets 'stuck' in logic precipitating force quits.
i run osX 10.6.8 on a 2007 macbook pro that has had 2 motherboards replaced autumn 2010.
my troubleshooting has been: restart, pRam and safe boot, also checking a 'test' account to find the same issues extant.
pRam restart caused airport to quit and say there is no airport card, and wouldn't respond untill another reboot.

i have treated this book with care, yet run logic pro studio to the limit of this book's abilities.
what shoud i do?

You don't say which year you have, however...
...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
Good luck,

How to remove sites when right-clicking Safari in the Dock?

Right clicking Safari in the Dock shows 3 sites visited awhile ago. There is a diamond shape before each. And each is repeated several times, 16 for one. I've cleared History, closed Safari, removed it from the Dock, restarted Safari. they're still there. Opening them and deleting just increases the amount.
I'm stymied.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've resolved the issue myself.
First, let me clarify, each of these "sites" had several tabs.
Here's what worked: by Option-clicking on one closes all other tabs. Of course this can be done manually, closing each tab separately.
Once all but one tab is showing click the "close", red circle, button and the site deletes from the Safari list in the Dock.
Not sure why this anomaly happened but I know how to fix it if it should happen again.

Web site icon on the dock for OSX 10.7.4

Why the spring icon dosen't appera in the dock when I drag the web site icon in the dock?
I'm using version OSX 10.7.4.
Thanks

Drag the icon of the URL, in this sample, the apple, to the right side of the desktop. The spring will appear.

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now I can't open more than one website at a time. When I do the first site, minimized and in the dock, is taken up by the second one.

I just upgraded my computer from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I used to be able to have as many websites open as I wished. Now when I open a website and minimize it, it minimizes and moves to the dock just like it used to do. But now when I open a second website, it takes the place of the first one down in the dock that was minimized. I can't open more than 1 website at time now.

There is something basic going on that unfortunately has me stumped.
Before you spend the $20 please try creating a new user, for testing purposes:
Creating a temporary account to isolate user-specific problems: Isolating an issue by using another user account
That is easy enough to accomplish. If Safari and the Dock behave as you expect while using that account, it will help determine the cause. Please report the results of this test.
Delete the temporary account after you finish testing.
Many of those features I mentioned are new in Mountain Lion, and represent a significant change from Snow Leopard. Though you should certainly continue to use your Mac the way you have been accustomed to using it, you may find using Mountain Lion's new features advantageous. If you are fortunate enough to have an Apple Store nearby, you would benefit by taking advantage of Apple's many free workshops: https://www.apple.com/retail/learn/
Otherwise you may find yourself spending the $20 often. The help available here is often better than Apple's. It is not always correct, but it is always free.

T60 Locking up in the docking station after sitting on overnight.

I have a user who uses a T60. When they leave the machine in the docking station overnight, it lokcs up. The user must remove the battery and put it all back and re-boot before they can start their day.
Has anyone else experienced this before?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have already made sure the machine was not hibernating and set the power to never turn off anything. I have also re-imaged the machine using hte same image as the other 500 T60's we have in service.

After Effects CS5.5 Wont Open - Application Just Bounces In The Dock.

Hi all,
I appear to have encountered a problem with After Effects... I was working on a project earlier today which usalizes a VideoCopilot plug-in called Element 3D. After a quick break I came back to the project and attempted to load in the 'Free Earth Project' by VideoCopilot. (http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2012/08/free-earth-project-for-element-3d/). As their site suggests, I had to place a downloaded project folder called 'Earth' into Element 3D's 'My_Models' folder. Immediately after this I tried loading After Effects and encountered the issue. I'm not sure if it's couincidence or directly related which is why I am posting here.
After Effects does nothing but bounce in the Dock. When I right-click the application I'm met with a 'Force Quit' option, and a message saying "Application not responding". I'm on OS X 10.7.4. I'm not able to tell you what version of AE I'm running, only that it's CS5.5, as I cannot lanch it to find out. All other Adobe products work with no problem.
I have already contacted the support team at VideoCopilot and they have sent me an updated build of Element 3D in an attempt to resolve the issue, unfortunately though this did not work. Addiitonally, I have tried booting into Safe-Mode and tried to launch the application from there, as well as using Disk-Utility to 'Repair Permissions'. All of these steps have failed to get AE working again.
If anyone knows of a way to fix this I would be most grateful. I'm working to a very tight deadline and am afraid that I will miss it. Additionally, if anyone has any fixes that doesn't require reinstalling applications that'll be a bonus!
I've also attached a crash-report to this post incase it's of any use in determining the cause of the problem (I couldn't find a way to attach it directly, so the file is hosted on my website - I apologise in advance if this is against forum rules!) - http://www.starfireindustries.org.uk/uploads/8/6/6/1/8661295/ae_error_report.rtf
Thanks in advance,
John.

The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.
