White number in red circle in Apps Icon in the dock

There is a number (white number in red circle) in AppsStore Icon in the dock. What does this mean and how do I get rid of this?

Hello:
In answer to your question, I don't know.  However, drag the app store icon out of the dock.  Then drag the app store icon from your application folder to the dock.

  • My Apps icon in the dock now has a little red '1' in the upper right.  Why?

    I've clicked on the icon in the dock expecting to see why I have this alert, but nothing is obvious.  It's like the email alert you get with Apple Mail.

    Good morning, QuickAgPG,
    I took a look at the site this morning.   There are some good omens.
    It appears that a Snow Leopard compatible version of the Solitaire game will soon be available, if that is the one you are unhappy about.  
    If it is other than Solitaire, the owner is an ex Apple man and one would have thought, more sympathetic to Apple clients.   When you approached them on their site, what did they say?
    One last point.   If this is the Full Deck Solitaire it looks to be a free app from the App Store though I can't find a price if bought direct.
    The choice would appear to be ... wait for the Snow Leopard update they write about or buy the new version direct.  If the latter you will first have to remove the original app from your computer.   App Cleaner will do that job.
    Incidentally, I see you have a second thread elsewhere; not the best policy as it causes confusion.

  • On restart why do all app icons in the dock, except Apple apps, disappear? OS X (10.8.5)

    Have tried several suggestions found in the support community, some suggesting to delete a preferences file which I cannot find. I have iMacs at work and at home., but I am having this problem only on one of the Macs.

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following items to the Trash, if they exist:
    Application Support/Dock
    Caches/com.apple.dock
    and move the following items to the Desktop:
    Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.dock.*.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.dock.db
    Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    Here “*” stands for a long string of letters and numbers.
    Next, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. A folder should open. Inside it there may be a file named "com.apple.dock.iconcache". If there is, drag it to the Trash.
    Log out, log back in, and test. If you still have the issue, put the items on the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items.

  • New podcasts not 'red numbered' on app icon anymore.

    Hi all,
    Very tedious question but my new podcasts (prior to new update) would be numbered in red on the top of the podcast app icon on the home screen to see how many I have to listen to.
    Since the update they are not doing this.
    Any help about how I can get it back?
    Thanks,
    James.

    There are a couple of other threads on this. In the latest update, it seems that Apple have decided the red number on the  icon will show the number of new podcasts downloaded since you last accessed the app. Once you open the app, this resets to zero.....
    I would like the original number back, but you can still see the number of podcasts if you have a playlist or station with "all unplayed"....

  • How do I get the red number of already read e-mails NOT to show up in the iMail icon on the dock? I only want the number of "unread" e-mails to display in red on the iMail icon.

    Your last post is blank, which happens a lot to users who try accessing the forum through email rather than its web interface.

  • IMac with Lion. I have an icon on the dock for Fluenz software but it has a white circle around it with a white slash through it (like the international "no" sign).  What does the circle mean?

    I have an iMac using Lion. I have an icon on the dock for Fluenz software but it has a white circle around it with a white slash through it (like the international "no" sign).  What does the circle mean?  The Fluenz software seems to work ok.

    Checkout the software vendor's website for updates:

    Your only other option is to boot from an OS X 10.6 system.
    Hope the link helps.

  • ICal icon in the dock partially missing, only number shows

    Hi there, my dad was messing around with iCal today, trying to drag it somewhere else, and I think he broke the icon for it.
    The paper, rings, and red bar in the iCal icon won't show up. The only thing that shows up is the number 11 and the word Nov, which are today's date.
    I found an icon file called "App-empty.icns" inside iCal's resources folder (when you right-click "show package contents") that looks like just the paper without the numbers. It seems like this icon is the "behind" part of the iCal icon, meaning the paper and rings, and the numbers are the "in front" part of the icon, but only the "in front" part is showing up, if that makes any sense.
    I've tried dragging it out onto the desktop then opening iCal, but that didn't work. Computer restart didn't work either. When you launch iCal, the icon snaps back into shape like it's supposed to look, but when you quit iCal, it goes back to its ghost mode where it only shows the number and the month, sans the paper.
    Any help would be lovely, thanks.
    Evan

    Did anyone resolve this problem?
    I have a client who has a partially missing iCal icon on the dock. it appears to have just the number of the month in black and nothing else!
    also when you open the iCal app, the icon then turns 'normal'. But another issue is that
    all the current month's appointments are missing until you move the calendar one month ahead,
    and then back again to the current month. Then, mysteriously, all the appointments re-appear in
    the current month.

  • I am unable to update my apps in IPAD1.  The App icon lists the available updates but seems to be frozen.

    I am unable to update my apps in IPAD 1.  The App icon lists the updates but appears to be frozen.  The individual app icons show the space where "waiting" usually appears and do not work.  If I touch the apps icons, I get a message that states..."Unable to download. Do you want to try again." (or something similar).

    See if this helps. Reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Reboot/reset your iPad as well and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • App icons on the home screens

    Hi. I'd very much appreciate some help on something. I've just downloaded the latest BB10 system update on my Q10. All my app icons (which I'd carefully organised in frequency-of-use groups) have now been scattered over various home screens. I want to reorganise them more sensibly. I know that I can (in theory anway) do this icon by icon, by pressing on the app until all the icons on the page start pulsating and then dragging the individual app to another screen. But this is very laborious and the sensitivities of the icons / pages have changed so that it is now extremely difficult to do this without the individual home screens flashing past you before you can release the app icon on the screen where you want to reposition it. Is there another way I can reorganise my icons -- preferably by selecting a number of related apps (eg about travel) in one go and then moving them en bloc to my chosen destination? All and any help most welcome -- thank you.

    You could make folders of interest, moving any travel-related into it
    Yep!
    And that involves moving them manually, which is what I do.
    The OP wants it automated, I don't know that I want the device doing that.

  • New to APP Store--Why is there a "2" on the Icon in the Dock?

    Sorry for this naive question but I'm new to Lion. Does anyone know why there's a "2" on the APP Store icon in the dock?
    Thanks...

    Open the App Store (click the icon in the dock). At the top right, you'll see an icon that is a circle with a down-pointing arrow. It is labeled "Updates". Click there to see what the App Store is suggesting you update.

  • My ipod classic 160 has a red circle with a X in the middle how do I get it to work?

    My ipod classic stopped working.  It has a red circle with a X in the middle. I've troubleshooted but still can not get it to work.

    Hi Mildred,
    Happy Holidays!
    The resource below will explain the steps you can take to resolve the issue you are having with your iPod classic.
    iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203170
    The first step is to download the latest version of iTunes on your Mac or PC.  Then try the steps below.  
    Restore iPod from Disk Mode
    Disconnect iPod from your computer.
    Manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
    Open the latest version of iTunes and connect iPod.
    Restore iPod.
    Setup Service for iPod
    If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod may need service. Click one of the links below to setup an iPod Service Request online or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store.

    Putting iPod into Disk Mode - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201544
    iPod devices with a Click Wheel
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
     Older iPod models without a Click Wheel
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod, all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
    When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod should say "Do not disconnect".
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201540
    It's important to understand the difference between updating and restoring. Updating simply installs the software that controls iPod and does not affect the songs and files stored on iPod's disk. Restoring erases the iPod's disk and restores iPod to its original factory condition.
    Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. 
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage. 
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    I hope this information helps ...
    - Judy
