When you click on an icon on your dock...

when you click on an icon on your dock how many times does it bounce up and down before the program actually opens up? because i just ordered 2gb of ram and it seems slower than when i had 512mb

I know Firefox does this weird thing where it shows up and bounces, then goes away (quit) then opens up again and works fine. This usually happens to me when I first install it or upgrade to a new version.
There is actually a bounce limit. I used a PowerMac G5 with some problems where the apps would just keep bouncing and never open. Eventually they would get tired and stop bouncing, not open, but right-clicking showed "Application not responding" in the menu.

    Help.

    Then the next step would be to restore your phone.  My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

  • For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    You can setup Mail for iCloud on the eMac.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password

  • When I open Thunderbird, I can not see the inbox window. When I click on the icon in my dock (Mac) it's checked like it's open but I can't see it.

    This just started a couple of days ago, so not sure what I did. I also have to Force Quit to get Thunderbird to quit. When I click on the icon in the dock after it starts up the menu bar at the top is greyed out and it goes to Firefox not Thunderbird. Thanks for any help.

  • When I click on the icon in the dock, a message appears about not being able to verify google talk

    I installed google talk as my main phone communications.  Something happened when I was using firefox that took out my whole chat system on firefox, chrome, and safari.  I am able to use it again on firefox after uninstalling and re-installing firefox.  I have not had luck getting it to work on Safari or chrome again.  When I click on the ichat icon in the dock, a message appears saying that Safari can not verify google talk.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    I take it you mean you installed the Intel Only Browser Plug-in to use the Chat Functions on the Google Mail Web Page in Video and Audio Chat ?
    It now works in only one Browser which is Firefox.
    The bit you post about using the iChat icon to launch iChat but get a message about Safari seems a bit odd.
    iChat does not use Safari to check the password of Log In.
    If you Click and hold the iChat icon in th DOCK and then select Show In Finder what app is then highlighted in the Applications folder ?
    Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the Browser Plug-in ?
    Also check the KeyChain and the Access Tab of the Google Talk info in there.
    KeyChain Access is in Applications/Utilities.
    Find your Google Talk info and double Click it
    The new panel has an Access Tab
    That can be set to allow only certain apps to use the info (Password).

  • Why when I click the Safari icon in my dock to open Safari it will not open onto my home page?

    After downloading the new version of Safari it no longer gives the option to open Safari with your home page. The only options are to open Safari with a blank page or the last page you viewed.
    In addition, when Im using Safari and I press Command+N to open a new page I would like that page to be the same as the page I was originally on. Example: If I am on Amazon.com and I press Command+N I would like a new page to open ALSO on Amazon.com

    Carolyn thank you for your response,
    I know how to set my home page what I am trying to do is make it so when I launch Safari it will OPEN on my home page.
    In "Safari / Preferences / Apple opens with" the ONLY options are:
    "A new window"
    or
    "All windows from last session"
    How can I make it my "Home Page"?
    In addition, when Im using Safari and I press Command+N to open a new page I would like that page to be the same as the page I was originally on NOT my home page.

  • What do you do when you can't connect to the internet and you get this message XUl Runner after you click on the icon to open Mozilla? Then it says error platform'1.9.2.16 is not campatible wwith minVersion =1.9.2.17 maxVersion 1.9.2.17

    I can't get the internet to open and when you click on the icon to open firefox the above message is displayed and I don't know how to fix what is causing the error.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • My outlook will not open yet all other microsoft packages will.  When I click on the icon, the 'o' logo will come up for a split second but will not open the package - need to receive emails asap!

    You're very welcome!
    I meant holding the "option" (or "alt") key on your keyboard as you click the Outlook icon on the Dock, and continuing to hold it until you see the Microsoft Database Utility come up. Alternatively, you can open the utility by navigating to Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office and then double-clicking the Microsoft Database Utility app.
    When you rebuild your database using that program, a backup copy of your original database (containing your account info, contacts, mail, calendars, etc) will be created. As a security precaution, you should also ensure you have a backup of your database (which you can find by going to Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/ and copying the contents of that folder onto an external drive).

  • Where does it go when you click on the Calendar icon beside the date field?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know what page or region does it go when you click on the Calendar icon beside a date field? I need to know how it generates the list of values for year.
    Need your help. ASAP. If you need to know more about my inquiry please email me, [email protected]
    Thanks.

    It's a Date bean and it is UIX which generates the java script to pop open the dialog box and the UI. I donot think there will be any public document available on the implementation.
