Why is my dock stuck to be small forever?

I tried adjusting the size of my dock with dock preferences but all it would allow me to do was make it smaller. It wouldn't let me slide the slider. Now it is stuck as small as it could be. ?????

delete the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
then enter the following command in terminal
killall Dock
Your dock will be reset to the default one. see if it works normally after that.

Why is the screensaver stuck at "loading pictures" forever?

I have Aperture (latest version), with 80,000 photos, and Iphoto (latest version), with only 26 photos. I've checked permissions and repaired my drives from the repair partition. I've run Repair Permission, Repair Database, and Rebuild Database on Aperture, and Iphoto. I've deleted the screensaver plist file via
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
No luck - screensaver still takes forever to start, and I can't even change the screensaver settings - it's just hung at "loading photos". I'm on Mavericks now, but this has been happening since Mountain Lion I believe.
Anything else I can try?

If that does not work try here:

Why is the installer stuck on "Checking System Profile-"?

I'm trying to install Flash Catalyst Beta on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard).
The installer starts to work, but then it stops at the point where it checks the system profile (see attached screenshot). It doesn't seem to have crashed as the dock icon allows me to quit without force quitting the application.
I've tried it in my regular user account and the administrator account, but the behaviour is identical.
Any help would be appreciated.

I appreciate all your efforts, but I¹ve just received my new copy of CS5, so
I¹ll be installing the final version.

Subject: Why is the installer stuck on "Checking System
Profile…"?
Thanks Gary.
I need to ask you a few questions and request you to perform some more steps
so that I can debug your problem.
1. Have you modified any folder permissions, authorization setup using
Keychain Access utility (or any other tool)?
2. Open a Terminal window, and run the command 'ls -l /tmp' and copy-paste
the output printed on your screen in your reply.
3. Delete all files whose name start with 'asu' in your /tmp folder. Run the
command 'rm -rf /tmp/asu*'. Restart your machine.
4. Launch the Flash Catalyst setup and check if installation proceeds
successfully. If it doesn't, proceed to the step below.
5. Open the folder containing the Flash Catalyst setup. Browse to the
'packages' folder and rename the file 'install.sig' to 'update.sig'. Double
click and launch the Flash Catalyst setup. This will not install the
application but install the Adobe Application Manager. Let me know if you
see a small dialog with a progress bar. Rename back update.sig to
install.sig. Update us your observations. Continue to next step.
6. Launch 'Disk Utility' app (from /Applications/Utilities). Select your OS
partition in the left panel and click on 'First Aid' tab on the top. Click
on the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button at the bottom.
7. Again, launch the Flash Catalyst setup and check if installation proceeds
successfully. If it doesn't, proceed to the step below.
8. Open a Terminal window and navigate to the directory containing the Flash
Catalyst setup. Run the command 'sudo Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install'
and enter the password. Let me know if the installer launches and on
following the screen instructions do you still see the error screen or does
the installation proceed successfully.

When the keyboard pops up, tab the Globe icon, and select the English keyboard.

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"?

Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"? They appear to be camera photos that I imported into iPhoto. I can leave the computer on all day and it still remains the same, meanwhile photos I take on the iPad are still being synced.

Try to reset the Photo Stream:
Disable it in System Preferences > iCloud
Wait for a few minutes - have a cup of coffee.
Then enabe it again.
Repeat, if it has no effect the first time.
Have you exceeded your daily or monthly limits?
See: iCloud: Photo Stream limits

Why is it that no matter how small I crop/trim a clip, the file sz is big?

Why is it that no matter how small I crop/trim a clip, the file size is still the same size? I can crop a 20 min video down to 10 seconds and it stays at 5 gigs.

Hi NikonGirl - as Lennart explains, only clips that you have not used any part of can be removed from the project's Media folder.
If space is of major concern for you, what you can do when you've finished editing, is 'Share' your project to Full Quality QuickTime. This keeps your original quality but removes all of the clips or parts of clips that have been edited out. That QT file can be stored or of course used later to make a DVD.

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

The type is small on the website but that's because of all the stuff that they are cramming onto the page. A couple of other users made this same comment about eBay a while ago, as I recall.
There is no setting in Safari in which you can enlarge the size of the text.

Help!

Are you sure the device is charging?
Try resetting the device. Hold the sleep wake button and the home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds (until you see the Apple Logo, then release).
