THe dock won't show

ok...i just got my macbook yesterday and right know im using my parents laptop
so the dock wont show for any reason.
i checked dock prefrences and everything and still wont show up
i tried opening and application and still wont show up
help please..

Mine did this a couple of times. Try restarting the Macbook by going to the 'Apple' Symbol on the top toolbar and shutting down then switching back on again. If this doesnt work go to the same apple symbol and select Dock > Turning Hiding On. the go back and select Turn Hiding Off. This may do it, if not restart following this and it should be fine. It seems to be a slight flaw in Leopard but easily fixed generally.

  • My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

  • Mom used comp....and now the dock won't appear

    Hi,
    My mom used my scanner/printer recently and when I went onto my comp to use it there was a dialogue box that I couldn't click out of so I restarted it and now the dock won't appear when I hover at the bottom of the screen.
    I had a similar problem this summer when I turned of the comp and moved it into another room to find that my desktop wallpaper had disapeared and I still havn't been able to reload it.
    Can someone help me figure out what's wrong? Thanks in advance

  • Dock won't show up...Can't click anything

    I have a 2006 Macbook running Snow Leopard. Just last week my computer booted up to the desktop. All my icons loaded up but the background picture did not and the dock didn't load up. I can click on things but I can't open any files. I can go through my HD and look at files, but if I try to open them, and error pops up. Also after I click anything, the computer goes blue and then after a second it goes back to the normal desktop view. I don't know what to do or what the problem is. Computer was running great up until this point. Any idea the problem?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left handlist. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive has physical problems

  • Dock won't show

    I have my dock on the "hide" setting, and when i scroll to the bottom of the screen, it jumps up. However, occasionally (and I think it might be related to the uptime of the computer - it might be getting tired) it just won't come up. Suddenly, I will try to access a program from the dock and in vain scroll down multiple times. I'm wondering what the problem is here - it resolves itself after I restart the computer. Is it a bug? Is there something I could do about it? It's simply annoying. A similar thing happens to my Dashboard also, at the same time. I hit the button I've programmed for it, and it won't come up.

    Hi,
    Have the same problem every once in a while on school computers. It seems to happen when switching from classic applications back to os x ones.
    Try throwing aeay the
    com.apple.dashboard.plist
    in the preference folder and see if that cures it.
    luck

  • The Apps Won't Show

    Hi, I'm Julia. I have a Blackberry Curve 8520. Somehow, when I press the button that is supposed to bring me to my apps, it won't show anything. It just stays on my home screen. Does anyone know a way on how to get them to show, because I have important files in my notes app. Thanks!

    Have you tried doing a battery pull? If a battery pull does not correct the issues then you may have a software issues.

  • My web browser will not expand past the dock? The dock is always showing.

    Any screen I englarge will not expand past the dock. The screen just sits on top of the dock, instead of in front of the dock like it used to. I don't like to enable auto dock hiding either.

    To my knowledge and IIRC no window ever went In Front of the Dock. I can go behind it if you drag that window down from the title area but it won't expand from the bottom to in front of or even in back of the Dock. And that is the way it should be. It won't cover the menu bar either.
    If you want the app to go farther then set it into Full Screen Mode.

  • My iCal icon in the Dock is still showing 31 Dec

    Hello all and Happy New Year!
    *It's already 1st Jan 2010 morning* here in Singapore.
    A glance at my iCal icon in the Dock I just realized *it is still showing 31 Dec*
    Hmmm, what is going on?
    Thanks and cheers

    Hi there Kosmic_Kayy,
    If I understand correctly, you have successfully upgraded to Yosemite but you see the installer in Launchpad, and it indicates that it is paused. You should be able to remove that, with the following the following steps:
    OS X Lion: How to remove Mac App Store apps that appear in Launchpad
    Follow these steps while you are logged in with an administrator account:
    Enter Launchpad. 
    Click and hold on an icon until you see all icons jiggle.
    Click the "x" button in the upper-left of the Mac App Store app icon you want to delete.
    Note: If you do not see an "x" button, either the app is not from the Mac App Store or you are logged in as a standard user. 
    Click "Delete" in the confirmation dialog to delete the app.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • I downloaded music from itunes on my phone but the purchases won't show up on itunes on my computer?

    I downloaded an album on my phone using itunes (not any other downloading site) and for some reason the purchases are not showing up when I open iTunes on my computer. Any suggestions as to how to solve?

    Hi pretzelstix,
    It sounds like you are trying to access some of your past purchases from your Apple ID. You can find information on doing this using the following article:
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht2519
    It could be the case that you were expecting your purchases to show up in iTunes automatically after downloading them on your iPhone. If that is the case, you may need to enable Automatic Downloads, which can be done using this information:
    Enable Automatic Downloads - Apple Support

    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Music in the Cloud Won't Show in iTunes

    I was trying to fix a playlist sync problem in iTunes on my MacBook Air (the playlists I deleted would re-appear in iTunes after syncing with Match).
    I now seem to have a new, much more serious problem.
    That is, when I enable iTunes Match and verify "Show Music in the Cloud" option is enabled, NOT ONE SONG THAT IS IN THE CLOUD BUT NOT ON MY MAC SHOWS UP.
    The specifics are as follows:
    I have around 3500 of around 5500 songs in iTunes on my mac.
    "Turn Off iTunes Match" is the currently available option under the "Store" menu.
    "Hide Music in the Cloud" is the currently available option under the "Store" menu.
    If I go to my Mac Mini, open iTunes and select "Show Music in the Cloud" it shows all of the roughly 5500 songs that are in iTunes Match.
    NOTHING I do on my MacBook Air (turning off iTunes match then turning it back on, choosing "Update iTunes Match" from the Store Menu, selecting "Hide Music in the Cloud" then selecting "Show Music in the Cloud") seems to have any affect.  I'm looking to download a song I purchased on my iPhone but am 100% unable to do so due to this issue.
    Can anybody help me fix this issue?  I'm actively paying for a subscription that I'm unable to use, so this isn't exactly reasonable.

    I ended up stumbling across this, so I decided to give it a try.  It appeared to fix the issue:

  • I keep getting an error message when I plug my iPhone into my computer.  It says, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device has not been started." This has never happened before when I plugged it in - now the iPhone won't show up at all.

    Someone please help!  I do not know how to fix this.  It keeps saying my Mobile Device has not been started and I can't get my phone to show up in the iTunes window AT ALL. It will charge while plugged in, but it just won't come up in iTunes.

    Sorry, the error message should read, "...the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."

  • My IPod apps won't open. So I looked it up, and it said to sync the apps to itunes, i tried this, but when i try to sync, the apps won't show up on Itunes. It keeps saying "0 apps". What do i do?

    Ever since yesterday, my Ipod apps won't open properly. I googled it, and couldn't find anything accurate. So i deleted all of the apps, and re-downloaded them. Now they're doing it again. When i tap on it, it looks like it wants to open, but then it goes back to the main menu. I googled it again, and got an answer saying to go to Itunes, uncheck the "sync apps" box, and sync. Then after that, recheck the box, and sync again. Many people said this worked, but it didn't for me. Also whenI go to sync my apps, they don't show up in Itunes. How do I get them to show up in Itunes?

    I had the same issue. After searching around online I found out that you can try downloading another app (it can be any app) onto your ipod. After it finishes downloading see if your other apps open. You don't even have to keep the new app. Just see if your other ones work and you can delete the new one. That should work. If not, try to hard reset it. Here is another apple support link for steps on hard reseting it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430).
