The Dock Not Going Back Down?

"The Dock" as Apple calls it (I'm a new Mac Guy barely switching from Windows).
Anyways... The Dock, where all the applications are on the bottom of my macbook remain there. they wont slide back down out of view. how can i change this? i've been searching and cant find the answer.
thanks!

You can also use the shortcut Apple has assigned to the "Automatically hide and show the Dock" command: ⌘⌥D (command or "Apple" key, option or alt key, then the letter D).
Hope this helps.

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

    iPhone warranty is not international, but is valid only in
    the country of original purchase. Since you bought the iPhone
    in the UK, your warranty is valid anywhere in the EU but not
    in Egypt. You can gry taking it to an Apple authorized reseller,
    but don't be surprised if they tell you they cannot do anything.

  • When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

    When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
    It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
    I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
    As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
    I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Sarah

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • FXO port not going back onhook when call goes to CUC Voice mail.

    HI All,
    Quiet new to the voice world and have just set up a home lab and have run into the following problem.
    When a call comes in from the PSTN and gets transferred to voicemail CUC, when the caller has left the message and hung up the FXO port on my Cisco 3825 does not go back on hook
    If a call comes in from the PSTN and is answered on a phone registered to the CUCM and the internal user hangs up the FXO port goes back on hook but if the caller hangs up the FXO port does not go back on hook.
    I am using H.323 between the 3825 & CUCM
    PSTN ------->Voice Gateway 3825-------->CUCM-------->CUC
    Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
    Thanks

    Hi Shaun,
    The router DSP port is not able to detect the disconnect tone sent by provider that is why FXO port is remaining off hook. When call is answered by IP phone then IP phone user can listen the disconnect tone when PSTN caller disconnectes the call and they will hang up the call so gateway is aware that call is disconnected and moves the port to ON hook state but CUE cannot understand the tone so it keeps the call active. To resolve the issue we ave to configure custom CPTONE. Kindly collect PCM capture for a test call. Disable capture after call is disconnected by PSTN caller. i have attached the document. Use the method according to your IOS version.
    Using PCM capture we can findout the exact frequency and cadence of the disconnect tone sent by provider.

  • Preventing the User from going back to the main page after logging out.

    Hi all,
    In my project I want to prevent the User from going back to the Main page, by clicking the back button of the browser, after the user has loggged out.I had invalidated the session so the user will not be able to do any operations, but he can vew the infos. I want to redirect to the login page if the user tries to go back using the back button after he has logged out.
    I tried the same in this forum after loging out. Surprisingly it is the same. I can browse through all the operations i did even after logging out from here.
    Is it not possible to do that in Servlets?Could somebody help?
    Thanks,
    Zach.

    Hi,
    You can use a servlet filter to do this , as it can interceptany request to your application you can decide to allow user access or not to any page/servlet.
    public class Test implements Filter{
         public void destroy() {
         public void doFilter(ServletRequest arg0, ServletResponse arg1, FilterChain arg2) throws IOException,
                   ServletException {
              System.out.println("filter");
              HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) arg0;
              if(!request.getRequestURI().contains("index")){ // set condition that will be checked to verify if the user is logged in
                   System.out.println("redirecting ... ");
                   RequestDispatcher d = arg0.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
                   d.forward(arg0, arg1);
              arg2.doFilter(arg0, arg1);
         public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
    }in you web.xml add :
    <filter>
              <filter-name>test</filter-name>
              <filter-class>test.Test</filter-class>
         </filter>
         <filter-mapping>
              <filter-name>test</filter-name>
              <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
         </filter-mapping>

    This crap just happened to me this morning where I was sent 90% data plan threshold warningfrom AT&T (while sleeping at 7:09am) then 5 minutes later getting the Overage data plan warning from AT&T.  This is all while I'm asleep right next to my phone plugged into a (non-Apple) dock on my clock radio.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Every time I shut down my computer, I lose all my settings - like things I removed from the dock are all back, the trackpad resets to original settings, etc.  How can I get my preferences to stay like they used to?  Thx!!

    I recently went through a nightmare with my computer where there was an "old" operating system put on my computer and I guess File Vault was turned on.  Since then I've upgraded and am now running 10.8.3 but got locked out of my old admin account when I tried to restore my computer from Time Capsule.  Attempts to recover anything from my old admin account have been futile
    So, I started a new Admin acct and have been trying to reconstruct my life, but every time I shut down and restart my computer, it erases/resets all my prefernces, like all the things in the Dock that I remove all come back and the track pad is always moving in the wrong direction again and has to be reset every time.  Is there a way I make my prefernces stick??
    BTW if anyone knows how to recover all my lost stuff that would be beyond amazing too
    Thanks in advance!

    Eustace, thank you so much for writing back.  I will try what you suggested!!
    thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport).  I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault.  apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
    Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead.  I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
    anyway - that's THAT sad story.  I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed. 
    I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever.  I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!!

  • Recently switched to Mac, LOVE IT! Not going back

    Hello
    A few weeks ago, I made the decision to purchase a new white MacBook 2.0GHz to replace my 8 month old Dell Latitude D620. I work in the IT Industry, and am around computers and technology all day, and had grown tired of Windows XP on my home computer. I had upgraded to Windows Vista, but found it too unstable for productive use. Most of the issues were related to Dell drivers and will most likely be resolved soon enough, but I was needing something new then. You all know that feeling, just can't wait and need a new toy! So I went in to the Apple Store and walked out with a new MacBook.
    I must say that I am extremely happy with my purchase and feel that I am now a Mac user for life for my personal computer needs. Not being very familiar with the OSX interface, I expected my transition time to be longer. But OSX just seems to make sense, in a way Windows could only dream of.
    Not to beat a dead horse, as I know most people on this forum are going to understand everything I'm saying anyway, but I just wanted to preach to the choir for a moment and say how much I love the MacBook, and Apple products in general. I am anxiously awaiting the availability of the iPhone as well!
    Thanks to everyone for a great forum, and for convincing one more user to switch!
    Cheers

    Welcome....
    I switched 2 years ago and now use a Macbook everyday at work. It is really amusing to watch my colleagues each time they say 'see this in vista'....you mean like this feature I had 18 months ago when Tiger came out
    Have a look at Dave and Entourage. Dave lets you integrate to Windows 2003 server network and Entourage is so much better than outlook. I run Citrix ICA for my other needs while in the office such as our Helpdesk software and main applications.
    I can not see me going back now...so much so that my PDA is now a Newton, wow is that a piece of technology that was way ahead of its time. The most impressive thing is taking notes in a meeting then Bluetoothing them to my Macbook and emailing to my colleagues ---- LOL.
    Welcome to another switcher.....

  • Somehow, my Referer Header got set to zero, and I'm trying to set it back to 1 or 2, but I don't know how to make it stay like that. Every time I refresh the page, it goes back to zero! Please help!

    Somehow, my Referer Header settings got set to 0 (zero). Because of this, I'm getting an error message on certain sites. I found out that I could reset it to 1 (one) or 2 (two) if I browsed to about:config and typed in the new value, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm not sure how to "save" this setting, and ever time I refresh the about:config page the setting goes back to zero. Plus, I'm still getting the error messages on the sites I was having trouble with.

    You need to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes and then restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer.
