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.

  • Still problems with the Ipod Nano 3g and the Nike+ kit??

    I thinking about buying an Ipod Nano and the Nike+ kit tomorrow but now I'm a bit unsure due to some of the problems mentioned here in this forum? Do you still have problems with the commuication between the Nano and the sensor? Are there still problems wtih the distance being wrong or only in km? Should I buy - if possible - a Ipod Nano 2G?
    Regards
    Morten

    Personally I am very happy with my new iPod Nano. It works great with Nike Plus and I love the video and some of the cool features like stopwatch and more. I have an earlier iPod Nano and I was hesitant to buy the new one but I am so glad I did. I don't have any problems uploading data.

  • 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.

  • Are there still problems with the free Iwork trial when you then buy it?

    Hi all,
    new macbook user - it's brilliant by the way, and first post on here so hi all.
    Saw this thread via a search, and saw similar points on an Amazon review:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2202953
    Does anyone know if this problem still exists (thread was some time ago) or can I download the free trial without worrying (would like to do some work this weekend and dont want to wait for delivery of the software - I def plan to buy it).
    Apols if the topic has been recently covered, please direct me to that if so
    Thanks

    Apple made a decision which boggles my mind: there are two versions of iWork, one you purchase online getting a serial number you apply to the demo. The demo contains the full contents of the program, you lose nothing by purchasing the program this way. The other version of iWork is a boxed copy, the same as the demo+serial# except that this version requires no serial number. Mixing the two creates unhappy people
    If you download the demo and then purchase the boxed version you must remove the demo (and all support files and preferences associated with the demo) before installing the disc copy. If you don't, the program thinks you need a serial number and continues working in demo mode until it expires.
    If you can't wait for the box to arrive, why not just download the demo and purchase the serial# online from Apple?

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Downloaded Mt Lion.  Now my facetime launches then quits with message that there is a problem with the  C_L Kernel Plugin.  Everything else works just fine. I can get on line etc.

    I have have an early 2008  imac 8,1  It has been a good machine no problems.  UNTIL we downloaded Mt Lion. We can no longer use facetime.  We click on the icon it comes up, tries to connect then it disappears with the message that there was a problem with the C_L Kernel Plugin.  We can go on line without difficulty, everything else seems to be working.  Searching the internet shows that others have had the same problem with Mt Lion. But so far I haven't found a solution.  We have wiped the drive reloaded snow leopard then downloaded Mt Lion again. We put in a NEW hard drive and reloaded snow leopard then Mt Lion. We have changed out ram using apple ram. But we still get the same result. Everything works except for Facetime.  Is there some patch we have missed?  Facetime DOES work on our ipads without a hitch so I doubt it's the internet connection.  We've tried the imac both wirelessly as the ipads run and hardwired and get no where fast.  So any help at all would be appreciated.  We live in the boonies, the nearest mac repair is over 150 miles away so this is pretty nuch a do it myself affair.  We know the machine is old by most standards today. But we pretty much run our machines until they can't power up.  So we'd like to get this one back on its perch so to speak with its face time working.
    Thank you ahead of time for any advise help given.

  • Problems with the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite on OSX Lion?

    Hi, did anybody had already problems with the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite on OSX Lion? I purchased the software as a Volume licenced product recently and everything was working fine, until since few days my Indesign and Illustrator keep crashing on launch. I de-installed and re-installed the entire CS5 Suite on my iMac, but Indesign and Illustrator still keep on crashing while launching. I already rang the Adobe tech support but they are not very helpful at all... Its quite frustrating.

    No problems here with CS5. After I upgraded to Lion I did update to 5.5 and still did not experience any problems. There are some handy articlles on Adobe's web site relating to compatability with Lion, but I have experienced none. Have you checked the third party plug-ins in Illustrator and InDesign for compatability if you have any installed?

  • 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?

    Follow the instructions below to set up IMAP1 access in most email clients.
    Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
    this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option?  The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED.  Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right?  Port 993 can  use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe.  Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD.  Should I have used external client cert TLS?
    Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

    as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
    The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
    To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad. 
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
    Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.
