When I open DockSwitcher, it vanishes from the dock (quits itself?) after about 5 seconds. Even when it's there, dropping one of those zip files on it does nothing. I have a feeling this might be because I've tinkered around with those dock files, so now it's all messed up.
View 17 RepliesMac Pro.After installing 10.9.4 my superdrive vanishes after a period of time.It is there on starting up.It is there if a do a sleep and wake soon after starting up.It vanishes if I leave the machine alone and to sleep for a few hours.The drive functions fine.Â
I suspect it is powering off the drives when not used - as set in preferences - but seems to fail to wake up just the superdrive.A reboot will re-establish the drive. Is the answer to turn off the option to power off drives not being used. All other external drives seem fine under all conditions.Â

Just purchased a 2.4 GHz 13" MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.4.
Had run a data migration from a 2.13 White Macbook running OS 10.6.4, and all went well, every thing transferred, all running fine.
Today, the hard drive icon suddenly vanished from the desk top.
I went to the Finder, under "Devices" saw the iDisk and Hard Drive icons and transferred the Hard Drive icon to the desktop...it vanished in a puff.
So, how much of an idiot am I, what is going on, and how do I get the Hard Drive Icon back?
I will leave this laptop running and in sleep until I log in and digest your wise suggestions.
I have just set up mail and every now and then the entire inbox just vanishes.Â

I've been working on avery complicated project all day with multiple layered clips with key frame animations, colour effects etc. All was fine until I opened a new project in the same event which I was going to use to create some effects sequences for the main project. When I went back to the original project it was empty. Tried the Undo function in case I had done anything stupid but it was greyed out. Went to the FCPX backups and the last file was almost 2 hours old but did not have any sign of this project. The only thing I have left is all the imported media.Â
Using FCPX 10.1.3. This is really annoying as all I have left is an h264 file of the almost complete project and it will be almost impossible to start from scratch.Â

I recently bought a used Macbook Pro (A1212). I received it with no battery (on the way), and a dead harddrive (booted to folder question mark). I replaced the hard drive with a new one and tried booting up the DVD. When pressing option during startup, I'm given the option to boot the dvd. I click on it and I can hear the DVD whirr for a couple minutes, apple logo shows up, then a loading circle on the bottom of it, eventually the logo turns into a Deny Circle. What could this mean? The DVD is in tip top condition.

I tried everything that has been suggested for these cases: removed beta version of Safari, remove Growl and any other third parties, remove the preferences file (.plist) and the user/Library/Mail folder. Nothing works! I set up another account on my Mac and Mail works there! I tried to use the new files that Mail generated for this new account for the old account but I couldn't make Mail to run.

Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."

Just upgraded to 10.6 Snow Leopard. Awesome OS, but one thing bugs me: Since upgrading, whenever I activate my screensaver the default Flurry one appears for about 2 or 3 seconds, before immediately taking me to my locked screen window. I don't touch the mouse or keyboard or anything, it just refuses to show the screensaver for more than a couple seconds. I hit esc and it works for a bit longer, but soon enough displays the login window again. Has anyone had this problem after upgrading? It has been fine before (10.4, 10.5...up until now).

Recently when waking the computer from sleep, it makes the "waking from sleep noise", and the fan starts, but the screen stays black. This forces me shut it down. When it restarts, the error message is that the computer had to restart after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly. I'm usually using Garageband, iTunes and Firefox before putting it to sleep. I'm not sure where I've put the documentation I need for support from Apple!

this becomes specifically annoying when i'm in the middle of a conversation with someone and then one of my contacts attempts to send me a chat text message so it basically makes the whole app quit and interrupts my call

This has happened to my laptop once before and I had to replace my hard drive. First of all I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 with Safari 4.1.3. Basically I'll just be online, using Safari and suddenly it "quits unexpectedly." There's no one thing that I do that makes this happen either. The same thing was happening a while back and it began happening more an more frequently until my computer wasn't running and I had to replace my hard drive. Now its happening again!

I have an early 2008 MacPro-10GB memory. Recently switched out two of the drives and decided to try a mirrored RAID setup with 2 3TB Seagate Barracuda drives as the boot set (using Lion 10.7.2). Ever since, I have had random episodes where the finder quits, everything closes and then the finder comes back up and is ready to go but all my programs have been shut down in the process.It can happen as often as four times an hour. I don't lose more than a couple of minutes of work but if I'm iChatting, I suddenly lose the connection or scanning stops or printing stops. Should I not have tried to set up the RAID?

Just yesterday Safari repeatedly malfunctioned when accessing secure (SSL?) site drop-down boxes while trying to pay utility bills online. The boxes drop down, the desired selection can be highlighted, but when the cursor is lifted, the change is NOT made, the beach ball spins, Safari quits. Every time. On several different sites. Data can be entered in the blank spaces, but using the drop-down boxes results in a stall, then quit.
These type of tasks were accomplished as recently as the day before. Other Safari functions (browsing, youtube etc) seem to work. Firefox works in all areas.
