Why doesn't the dock icon update after I update my apps?

When I have app updates available, the dock icon shows the number pending. After I perform the updates via the App Store, the dock icon still shows the previous number. Even after a week!

I don't have any problem with the actual update process: it works like a charm on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. Being able to install my purchased apps on both computers is great, and the App Store applications on the two computers always know what has been updated on each. It's just that darned Dock icon! Here's hoping that the bug gets fixed sooner rather than later.

    Why doesn't the current temperature display in the weather icon on the home screen?

    The application works and I do have location-based services on. I'm just wondering why the icon itself does not show the current temperature. Sort of how they upgraded the clock after show the current time.

  • Why don't iWork dock icons refresh after updates?

    I have updated Pages, Keynote and Numbers to the most recent versions but the same old icons remain on the Dock.  I have upgraded to Mavericks OS too.

    Refresh cache, and check to see if you have embedded thumbnails (no edit previews).

  • When I receive emails why doesn't the mail icon on the bottom of the home page indicate I have mail.  Only after I go into my mail do I find out I have mail.  My Blackberry always indicated when I received new emails.

    I was wondering if the mail icon on the bottom of the home screen ever indicates that I have mail.  It isn't indicating and only after I open up my mail does it show that I have received emails.  Is there any type of indicator that is supposed to be on the mail icon that shows I have mail?  Thanks

    Mail starts up wherever you last left it, or should do without any changing of settings.

  • Why doesn't the QuickTime icon appear in my system prefs, even though I have just installed it and restarted?

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and bought QuickTime Pro from the Apple store, but discovered I couldn't register it as the QuickTime icon wasn't appearing in System Prefs for me to click on and enter the registration details.
    I've reinstalled QuickTime from my original start-up disk - but still nothing.
    QuickTime Player 7 loads okay, and while I can access Registration from the main menu, it doesn't actually let me do that but simply encourages me to buy QuickTime Pro... which I have already purchased.
    Well I know it's not expensive but it does seem a bit daft to buy it twice!
    Any suggestions, anyone?
    Much appreciated, and thanks!

    There is no QuickTime System Preference pane in Snow Leopard or Lion.
    Look under the QuickTime Player 7 menu and click Registration. Use copy/paste to enter the Name and Number fields from the info you got from Apple via email.

  • Why doesn't the graphical waveform update after adding effects to the rack??

    I've noticed that when you add effects to sounds you hear the difference but the waveform does not SHOW you the difference. There's no way of telling how high you're getting with some effects. You don't see any true representation of the audio in the Editor Panel until you Apply the effect. But what's the point of that? That's like making color adjustments to a photo by changing levels but not being able to see what your doing. This sucks. This is absurd. Does Audition do this too?

    It works fine on my systems running Mavericks, so this is not something Apple has removed but rather something amiss with your system. I'm not sure what to suggest, but downloading and reinstalling the 10.9.2 Combo Updater might help:

    If you have a Magic Mouse you might also look to the various touch/swipe settings; not having one I can't be more specific. Someone else here may have a better suggestion.

  • Why doesn´t the plugins show up after installation and restart?

    In previous versions I have never had plugin problems, but now I have updated to version 13 of Elements and even after several reinstallations of both this program and the plugins these never show up. The possibility to choose a map manually works, but only for this set of plugins. Does anybody have a solution?

    For Perfect Photo Suite 64, I had no difficulty installing the software on my Win 7 64 bits PC. Did you get information from OnOne on that matter?
    For other plugins, the general advice is to wait (several minutes...) when you open Elements after the installation. The MediaDatabase.db3 file must be rebuilt, which takes a long time. If that does not work, you can delete that file to be sure it is rebuilt correctly.
    This file is located:
    - ProgramData
    - Adobe
    - Photoshop Elements
    - 13
    - Locale

  • Why doesn't the iOS 7 update tell you you have to turn photo stream back on?

    I didn't have to reset anything else! I deleted about 100 photos because I thought my photostream was on. How can I retrieve those or who can I blame for the stupid ios 7 update? How can I down grade? I don't like iOS 7. My phone has been screwing up too, ever since I downloaded the update. My iPhone 5 isn't even a year old! Since the update it randomly opens apps and randomly shuts off. Sometime it comes back on some times I have to wait an hour!  Yes I've  turned it off and back on since the update. No, there's no change

  • Why doesn't the downloads windowemain open after downloading a file?

    the downloads window in my version of windows xp pro, sp3, opens with a blank downloads window. it does not show the progress of a download, and the window is blank.
    in tools/options, i checked the option to "show the downloads window when downloading a file."
    i left unchecked, "close it when all downloads are finished."
    the remaining options are "always ask me where to save files," or, "save files to..." neither solves my issue.
    i have created a downloads folder on my desktop. but, for my convenience, i would like the downloads window to remain open and displayall subsequent downloads instead of creating a downloads folder.
    is there a solution?
    p.s. i think that, in earlier versions of firefox, the downloads window showed a download's progress and remained open.

  • Why doesn't the share tab open after reinstalling software in hp8450?

    I have tried reinstalling the software for the HP Photosmart 8450 but the Share tab that always worked before now does not open.  I have contacted the CEO office and received a call this morning telling me to try this link for tech support free even though the printer was purchased about 5 years ago.  Can someone tell me how to fix this problem as that software was my FAVORITE photo program and I used it for all my photos and shared them by editing (still Works) and then sharing by burning a cd from the selected edited photos.

  • 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.
