Why ... dock icons no longer display lights below most running apps

and there is no op-tion to quit a running app in right-click dock menu. Dock icons for some of the running apps have lights, but quitting the app from the dock is initially unsuccessful. Icon either initially, or after quitting the app disiplays 'force qut', which, when clicked, doesn't work, either. Left-clicking the icon (thats the 3rd click) finaly kills the app and removes the icon from the dock.

Command + Q is the quickest way to quit a running Application. Click its icon in the Dock to give it focus, then press Command Q keys and its gone. No need to mess about with right clicking and selecting.

Mail icon no longer displays unread message count

The mail icon in my dock no longer displays the number of unread messages. Is there a fix for this?

You’ve probably either disabled or removed a font that Mail needs to work properly (e.g. Helvetica):

Mouse over dock icon no longer indicates "application not responding"

A very convenient feature seems to be missing from Snow Leopard. In prior versions, if an application was not responding, holding the cursor over its dock icon would display "[Application] Not Responding" and also an option to Force Quit. This status message does not appear in Snow Leopard.
Are we to assume that if we click and hold on a dock icon and "Force Quit" is presented as an option, that the application has stopped responding?
Suggestions?

Thanks!
So if I click and hold a dock icon and "Force Quit" is shown instead of "Quit" would that indicate that the particular application is in the midst of some process and simply unable to respond?
Should I simply allow more time for the app to finish whatever it's doing?
it could be either. sometimes an application is busy and is showing as not responding but will come out of it after a while. but sometimes it's truly hanging and then you have to force quit it to get rid of it. there is no way to tell just by looking at the dock. give it a bit of time and if it's still not responding then force quit. but if it's happening all the time then you may have problems with your system.
In particular, here, I've launched DiskWarrior 4.2 on a Mini (via Screen Sharing from my Mac Pro) in an attempt to rebuild directory on a My Book 1TB external drive connected by FireWire, which Disk Utility indicates needs repair but DU cannot repair. Ideas?
so what does disk warrior say when you try to rebuild the directory? and you should also verify the internal drive on the mini too.

Why does Firefox no longer display .php suffix web pages which are in my Mac?

I have a question about Firefox 14.0.1 displaying .php suffix web page files which are in a Mac running Mountain Lion OS 10.8. In eaarlier versions of Mac OS, for example 10.4.7, I was able to see properly displayed web page files with .html and .php suffixes when those web page files were in my computer. I refer to seeing the page as it should properly display, not seeing the source code. If a page had a .php suffix, the browser displayed the page properly although any php scripts embedded in that page were ignored.
Apple occasionallly updated its OS and browser makers occasionally updated browsers. One day, I noticed that Safari no longer displayed web page files in my Mac if those pages had a .php suffix. However, Firefox and other browsers continued to display web page files with .php suffixes although the embedded php scripts were ignored.
Now, I have Mountain Lion in iMac.
I can no longer see .php suffix web page files in my computer regarless of the browser I use. No browser displays those pages.
A .php suffix web page file which Firefox and other browsers display in 10.4.7 does not display in 10.8 if that web page file is in the computer.
In my computer, I have html and php suffix web page files I want to see using a browser. The files I want to see and the browser both are in my computer. Html files display perfectly with one exception: if php scripts are embedded in the html files, the scripts are ignored. A file the name of which ends with ".php" will not be displayed regardless of whether there is a php script in the file. Safari displays the source code only. Chrome does not display the file at all. Firefox and SeaMonkey, which displayed .php suffix web page files in earlier versions of the Mac OSm now respond to such pages by providing a dialog box which seems to assume that the file is about to be downloaded from the Internet. The dialog box asks me if I want to use the browser to open the file or if I want to save it to disk. The file is on the disk at the time, and the computer is disconnected from the Internet. I click that I want to use the browser to open the file. Then the dialong box reopens with the same question. This happens over and over. I never get to see a web page file in my computer the name of which ends with ".php". With Firefox 14.0.1, I can see .php suffix web pages which are on the Internet or in a 10.4.7 Mac but not in a 10.8 Mac. Did I miconfigure Firefox? It seems unlikely that Firefox lost the ability to display pages in Mac OS 10.8 which it displays in `10.4.7. How can I solve this web page display problem?

Haroon mentions two solutions. I used the easier one, which is to start the Apache webserver already in Mountain Lion and to enable the php already in Mountain Lion. It worked. I see the file correctly displayed with html, css, and php. I see the page by using Firefox. I enter an address in the address bar. For example, the address might be "localhost/example/example.php". I cannot see the page by using Firefox's "Open File ..." menu option or by dragging the file's icon onto Firefox's icon. I tried using your solution also but was unable to find the specific preference to modify. I found the page of preferences which may be modified but I could not find the one I need. I found a list of descriptions of the preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries
but I could not find the specific preference which I need.
By the way, to enable loading the php module, one uncomments a line of code by deleting the initial "#" character, and one does that by pressing control key and "P" key while the cursor is over the "#" character.
Also by the way, when I use Firefox or Safari to look at the Apache web directory in which my files are, the files are listed case sensitively. For example, the files are listed: Ace, Zygote, bar. This is because lower case follows upper case. THis annoys me. I prefer case insensitive listing. When I llok directly athe directory without using a browser, the files are listed case insensitively. For example, they are listed: Ace, bar, Zygote. I guess taht Apache is doing this.

Ios8 iPhone6 App Store icons no longer displayed

Hello, on my iPhone 6 and iOS 8.1.1 since 01DEC2014 I see the followi problem:
When updating my apps in the App Store I no longer see the app's icon and all related fotos within the updated app.
The app is updated and works fine.
All apps updated before 01DEC2014 are displayed properly in the App Store.
On my iPad running on iOS 8.1.1 everything is fine, too.
any ideas
Thanks
Michael

Problem solved. Reason was the usage of app 'weblock' which is to to be used to block ads.
Once I deactivated weblock everything is fine again.

ZCM 10.3.4 Icons no longer display on Start Menu

Hi,
I am currently developing a ZCM Win7 COE and am creating new Win7 GPOs using the Microsoft Group Policy tools. ZCM bundle icons were displaying on the Star Menu as expected until I enabled the GPO setting to "Hide and disable all items on the desktop". Now the bundle icons no longer show. The agent appears to be running ok and I can see the bundles are still "available" from the agent proper sheets.
Has anyone come accross this problem before and if so how was this resolved.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.

MP3 icon no longer displays artwork in finder

Yes I know there was an earlier thread with this name but this is a new thread because when I upgraded to iTunes 10.4 the problem came back. When I open a folder of mp3s in Finder old ones have the artwork but new ones do not even though I downloaded the artwork in iTunes. If I copy an mp3 file that has the artwork in the icon and paste it in a new folder in Finder the icon no longer shows the artwork. The artwork appears when I play the songs in iTunes but does not appear in Finder. I can go into an iTunes playlist click Info and click on the Artwork Tab where I have an album cover showing, click on the album cover, click apple-X (cut) then apple-V (paste), then the artwork suddenly appears on the thumbnail in the folder in Finder. Seems to fix it in list view and cover flow view but not in column view. Running OSX 10.68 What gives?

This is really getting frusturating. I manually add all of my tags and album artwork before adding my music to iTunes. Interesting enough songs that I add to iTunes, their album artowork reappears in finder. If I go to Users/MyUser/Music/iTunes/iTunesMedia/Music/Artist/Album, the icons of the songs will show the album artwork and it will show in quicklook. But, if I drag the mp3 to another folder the album artwork is again not reconized. All third-party software still shows album artowork.
I updated iTunes to 10.4 before upgrading to lion. I think that Apple should at least give us the ability to downgrade to a working version of iTunes, as they have had weeks to fix this widespread issue and have negleted to do so. I would hate to reimage my computer just to get album artowrk back.

Edge icon no longer displaying the "E"

After updating to 1.1.2, the Edge icon ceases to display the white, embedded "E".
FYI

ElegantMac,
Not exactly. The icon is documented in the updated User's Guide (Manual) which can be downloaded from:
http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/
The icon indicates GPRS.
However, a little explanation. Almost every GSM tower supports an older technology for data access called GPRS. In the U.S. nearly all AT&T towers have been updated to EDGE which is speed increase to GPRS. However, GPRS can sometimes be picked up at lower signal strengths than EDGE, and some partner networks may only offer GPRS. In the UK O2 was estimating about 30% of their towers would be upgraded to EDGE by the time the iPhone came out.
Some features like Youtube may not be available on GPRS.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Dock icon update current date without having iCal running?

Hello, minor thing - I typically leave my computer on all the time. I don't use iCal too often but I have the icon in the dock. I am wondering if there is a way to have the dock icon update without launching iCal? It would be nice that the current date is displayed when I view the dock. I guess I could schedule iCal to be launched and then quit once a day. I don't know, any suggestions?

I have a few suggestions.
1) This is a free alternative: http://www.objectpark.net/mcc.html
2) Search MacOSXhints for a way to change the dock date daily. I read a hint there a few months ago for doing this: http://www.macosxhints.com/
3) Wait for the next iCal as I would be surprised if Apple doesn't build this in to iCal 3 given how many times folks ask this question.
4) You'll like suggestion #1.

Hello sir:
I can use a panel to display JTree's all nodes and their icons independently in a independent JtreeIcon.java;

I think I am short of some methiods, can any guru advice??
Thanks

Inside every "big" problem, there's a small one trying to escape.

Had icon on desktop identified as HP Officejet E710-f that when clicked displayed multiple options with link access inlcuding access to scan, status of printer, fax history, cartridge print levels, and several others that I ddin't use often and cannot recall.
I did something, don't know what, and now when I click on icon Iit takes me to printer devices screen on control panel. Don't know how to get to ink level for print cartridtges and have to use separate icon to get to scan function. Can someone tell me how to get back previois shortcut response?

I understand you have lost options to check ink levels and to scan. I would uninstall current software and reinstall with updated drivers.
Click here for updated drivers. Select full feature software and driver download.
Let me know how it goes.

Airplay icon no longer displays

iMac 27
OS X Yosemite
Since upgrading to Yosemite earlier today, the airplay icon has disappeared from iTunes when playing through multiple speakers.
It comes back when I go into system Preferences/sound and then check main speakers but as soon as I select the satellite speakers the icon drops from ITunes and the ability to control volume for each speaker set is lost.
This needs fixing ASAP

Hey Hangrygc,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are having trouble with Airplay with one set of speakers. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Why is Firefox no longer displaying Google's "Pages From Australia" button

Just wondering whether anyone could tell me how to restore the "Pages from Australia" button on the left-hand column of Firefox when you do a Google search. Being an Australian user, without this button Google just searches the entire web, instead of local sites only. There has always been a pages from Australia tab to narrow the search, and that tab still appears in Explorer and other browsers...so what happened to it suddenly in Firefox!?

Forget it! I found the answer in an old discussion. Just needed to turn off banner blocking in my anti-virus software.
