Taskbar keeps disappearing NOT on auto hide

Hello,
I have viewed other articles similar but neither seem to help. Basically I work at a council and we
have gone about upgrading the rest of the machines from XP to 7, Now we only seem to be having this issue with a few of the machines out of all of them, this issue is upon minimizing anything such as Internet Explorer the full task bar disappears
it just leaves a blank space and the start button, we have made sure it is not set to auto hide.
So far the only remedy we have is to reboot the machine, it might not happen again for a couple of days
but it happens again eventually. It windows explorer does not crash either and the only way to access software open is to use Alt + Tab.
Finally these computers are within quite a big network if this helps any.
Thank you for your help much appreciated.
Regards
Eddy

How to make taskbar reappear in tablet after auto-hide???

Hello:
I've have a 11 inches tablet with Windows 8. I like to make the taskbar auto-hide to give me more viewing area (some programs require lots screen space to show the whole dialog box and were
not able to shrink down to have scroll bar, like some area in QuickBooks) And, with tablet, I don't have
the
mouse pointer to move it to the
top of taskbar to make it reappear. Please help.
Regards,
Leo

Thank you, S. But, that's not really what I want to do.
I am not rotating, I just simply want to make taskbar reappear after auto-hide when I don't have a mouse (cursor) to move
it over the taskbar.
For example, I have
set the taskbar auto-hide on my tablet (no keyboard, no mouse, just touch screen) Now, what do you need to do to make the taskbar reappear to see the time for fraction of second??? Do you
need to use one finger to move from the bottom up? Or up and down twice? Or two fingers twist around on the screen? Yes, the little program with rotating might help. But, I’ve been working or reading on the tablet which is on the stand. It just doesn’t
make any sense that I have to pick it up and rotate the tablet to make the taskbar reappear.
I think Microsoft just simply over look that because they got stuck of thinking everyone has to have a mouse to work on Windows OS. But, with the small and mini tablet coming up so fast, I think
they need to address this issue very soon. (or maybe there is a way and I am just ignorant, so please help)
PS, I don’t have Surface, I am using ATIV Smart PC. And I don’t have mouse or keyboard on that thing. And I don’t want to buy a mouse or keyboard for it. I think that would totally defeat
the purpose of using the tablet. And yes, I have laptops too.

Dock closing but auto hide unchecked

Hi chaps, my dock keeps disappearing but the auto hide is unchecked ... anyone any thoughts (I know I can bring it back by dragging the cursor to the bottom of the screen but if it's hidden and I drag a file down - to put it in the trash - the dock doesn't appear, I have to drag the file back to it's position open dock and then drag again) !

1. Open a Finder window.
2. In the menu bar click Go.
3. Select Go to Folder...
4. Type ~/Library/Preferences and press Return.
5. In the Finder window look for com.apple.dock.plist and drag it to the trash.
6. Click the blue apple and select Log out from the bottom of the list.
7. Log back in and set up your Dock preferences again.

Auto hide taskbar not working with iTunes 10.5 & Windows 7

Anyone else having problems with Auto-hide Taskbar not working when iTunes is open and the active window? Was working fine with previous versions including the beta of 10.5 I had. Is this a general problem or just me? Im using Windows 7 64bit for what its worth.

Chiming in with the same problem. 64-bit Win 7 Professional, taskbar set to auto-hide, newest version of iTunes (actually uninstalled and reinstalled via the website download earlier today to see if that would fix it; nope). I normally use the Alt+Tab keys to navigate between windows anyway, so it's not inconveniencing me too much, but it's still irritating when I'm trying to use the mouse to switch windows (or check the time) and realize I can't. Definitely fix this one soon. We'll all be very grateful

Will Photoshop Album Starter Edition support taskbar with "auto-hide" on?

I am using Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 on my Windows 2000 computer, and I have a problem with my taskbar not popping up. I have the "auto-hide" selection on for the taskbar, so it stays out of my way when I am working in applications. However, I have to hit the "windows" key if I want to switch from Photoshop to another app.
I looked through the support site and found the article that Album 2.0.1 fixes this bug for Windows XP. However, the problem still exists with Album 3.0 and Windows 2000. Will this bug get a fix soon?

You may already be aware of this but you can shift to another open application by pressing the Alt key and the tab key together. While Holding down the Alt Key, press the tab key. You will see a small window with the application name in it. When you press tab repeatedly, the application name will keep on changing in the window. When you let go of the keys, the application whose name is in the window will be activated.

Safari always auto-hide bars, always: also in normal screen mode (not full-screen, which is when autohide happens)

Bookmark bar is auto hidden in fullscreen mode, how to keep same functionality in normal mode out of full-screen?
In full-screen I just have the main toolbar showing, which is how I want it all the time. This or either make "full-screen" a lot better.

Hmm, i think i phrased original question badly, i am looking for auto-hide to be featured in normal window mode as well as fullscreen, and whatever else designers and programmers can dream up and not execute poorly.
I have now disabled all EXTENSIONS and removed all 3rd party bars (google, sharethis, never used nayway;) and as my suspicions confirmed Safari is running much better. I was very suspicious of this when it was added as it seemed like trying to match Firefox, which I also gave up some time ago in place of Chrome as my second browser, although I use Safari for 90%. The extensions i think causes freezing when i had Parallels running a Windows VM at the same time and also other times when not.
The extensions is a bit stupid in my opinion as any niggling, minor feature of a website should be addresses to the website rather than the browser. Where adverts are concerned, well, just use the web less or more specifically!
I think I'm fine with Toolbar/URL-search and bookmark bar, its great - simple and not intrusive. I believe EXTENSIONS introduction gave me some sort of weird mental outlook and would urge Apple to be more careful in bringing in different types of features unnecessarily.

BUG - Auto-Hide Taskbar Won't Un-hide

Using Windows 7 64-bit on a multiple monitor extended desktop:
I've set my taskbar to auto-hide.
I'm not sure which application is causing this to happen, but I've managed to get Windows to not display the task bar when I mouse over the bottom of the screen when the currently focused application is maximized. If I normalize the application, I can get the task bar to un-hide. I had four apps open this morning when it happened again - Firefox, Thunderbird, Windows Explorer, and Visual Studio 2008. I suspect that Visual Studio is somehow the culprit, but it's kind of difficult to quantify.
Once the task bar decides that it doesn't have to un-hide itself, only a reboot fixes the issue.
I saw this behavior in in the release candidate as well.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum.
To clarify if the issue is caused by any specific application, I would like to suggest that you run these applications using a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down the exact cause. There may be related to signal application or conflicts among applications. To confirm this, please take the following steps:
1. Run Firefox, Thunderbird, Windows Explorer and Visual Studio 2008 separately to see if the issue occurs.
If the issue doesn't occur, please continue the step.
2. Open two of these applications at the same time per test to see which combination causes this issue.
If the issue doesn't occur neither, please continue the step.
3. Run three of these applications at the same time per test to see which combination causes this issue.
Meanwhile, I noticed that you use a multiple monitor, this can be a cause too. I'd like to suggest you disconnecting the external monitor and running the above four applications at the same time to see if the issue occurs.
Best Regards.

Auto hide taskbar

I'm using windows 8.1 and I.E. 11. My taskbar won't "auto-hide" help

most common causes are programs that need your attention or that update the taskbar icons too frequently.
For testing purposes, make sure you don't have programs open. Check if windows action center (the little flag) has open messages, click open actions and resolve possible related issues. Also check if any third pary icons are displayed in the clock
area. If so, these might be the cause too. Close the related software, or configure it to not display notifications or status on the taskbar.

Full screen auto-hide feature does not work with Adobe Acrobat Reader add-on 11.0.0.379 in Firefox 17.01.

"Full screen" menu item and its keyboard short cut F11 stop working with Acrobat Reader. The Firefox top edge border does not hide once you have moved around in the Acrobat document. Therefore it is not possible to display PDF documents in a true full screen mode within Firefox. The auto-hide full screen mode works nicely with other Firefox windows, so apparently the Acrobat Reader add-on breaks the feature. Windows 7 64-bit.

From the JS API Reference of the print method:
Non-interactive printing can only be executed during batch, console, and menu
events.
Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
and a print dialog box will always be presented.

Notes in iCal keep disappearing since Yosemite

My notes on my recurring calendar events keep disappearing. I have tried adding them through iCloud.com and that will work for a couple of days and then they will disappear. This happens when I add notes via my MacPro, Macbook Pro or iPhone. I can't find anything related while searching the discussions in the last couple of years.

I keep getting a warning stating that the document could not be auto saved in pages. The file has been changed by another application. Then it says click save any way to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes to a version.
What in the heck does all that mean, and why are they trying to behave like a Windows product or a Microsoft office product. I just don't get it.
Why is another application changing my documents? It's like they've created a virus within their own programs. It's a pain in the neck and makes no sense.

I am also having the issue of a warning saying "could not be auto-saved in Pages. The file has been changed in another application. I then hit "save anyway", the warning will go away for a time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hourr, but then the warming reapprears saying the same thing. This is not the case with all Pages documents but it is the case with many.

Dock not showing in auto hide

Hi,
My dock is set to auto-hide, and I am using spaces. however my dock does not always show when in put my cursor at the bottom, I have to swap to and from another space to get the dock to show or unhide.
My hot corners are also not working.
any suggestions, spaces bug?
Thanks

could be a bad preference file.
move the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the desktop. then restart dock by entering the following in terminal
killall Dock
this will reset your dock to the default and might fix the problem.

TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone? These are emails that I have not deleted.

My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail. The mailbox behavior says: Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked) store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

Auto-Hide Ribbon - Quick Access Toolbar disappears

In Outlook 2013 I select to auto-hide the ribbon but this also hides the Quick Access Toolbar. Why does it do that. When the ribbon is hidden there is still space for the quick access tool bar so why hide it? It would be really useful to be able to see the
quick access tool bar (in the available space) when the ribbon is auto-hidden. Now, if I want to use the quick access toolbar with the ribbon hidden I have to un-hide the ribbon first.
Can we see the quick access tool bar when the ribbon is hidden?

Hi,
By default, Auto-hide Ribbon causes the tabs, ribbons and quick access toolbar to completely disappear, giving you the maximum amount of space to edit documents.
If you want to show the Quick Access Toolbar, we can just select Show Tabs which
shows only tabs, along with the quick access toolbar, but without their associated ribbon commands.
