Another random issue I have been having is that every now and then is with spaces. When navigating between spaces, the 4 window icon comes in the middle of the screen to indicate which space I am in, however occasionally this does not disappear, so I am stuck with the spaces icon in the middle of the screen. This is annoying especially when watching something, any idea why this maybe happening? How can I stop it?

How can I get the icon back because I can not use the outlook anymore. Where do I go to reestablish it in the dock?

Brand new proud owner of the iMac 20" (post pics soon to see if i have the gradient issue: seems ok though)
Does anyone know how I can fix this. I can't seem to get the icon in the dock at all. I re-installed Leopard again and nothing.
Yesterday, around 6 pm, I lost two Applications: Adium (an IM client), and Adobe Acrobat. Adium was open at the time. I received an IM message, went to click on it, and nothing happened. Then I noticed the icon was grayed out. I opened Applications folder and it was gone. A spotlight search revealed nothing.
Just now I noticed Adobe Acrobat was missing. A look at Time Machine told me that it happened between two consecutive updates at 3:45 and 7:30 pm yesterday, so I assume it happened roughly the same time Adium blinked out of existence.
but it seemed related to an OS X update issue. I have a unibody macbook (not pro) that shipped with 10.5 and the only only updates I have done are minor (to 10.5.8).
A disk utility scan verified my drive as being OK and a virus scan with Clam AV (just to be safe) revealed nothing.
I just dragged and dropped my icon into the middle of the screen and now it's gone?How to make it appear again?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have five different excel files on the dock (they appear below the line, along with the trash icon). When I click on them a question mark appears on top of the excel symbol, and "help" says this means they have been deleted. None of them were saved anywhere but on the dock. But I have not opened three of them for weeks, and cannot find any of them with "finder". I always save when prompted before closing the Excel application, and would never knowingly delete them, as they represent hundreds of hours of work.
I'm on a Mac mini, with OS X 10.4.11
I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard that quite some time ago, in an effort to save memory, I used a Terminal command that made the icons clear from the dock as soon as the application was quit.

I have the feeling the problem surfaced after doing the latest security update. I'm not 100% sure though.Whenever I connect to a (samba) share, the progression bar dialogue box just won't disappear. You know, the one saying "Connecting To Server".
The connection itself works without a problem.When I disconnect and reconnect, it shows me two of those progression bars, progressing away in some networked void.
What do I need to launch some apps that when selected just bounce a few times in the dock then disappear.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an OSX 10.4 server that I am attempting to use to deploy NetInstall images.
I want to update some OSX 10.3.x Macs that are on our network so I have created a NetInstall image from the OSX 10.4 Tiger DVD using System Image Utility. Then I planned to Netboot these 10.3 Macs using the 10.4 NetInstall image when I would have hoped would then push the 10.4 image out to the OSX 10.3 Macs.The Macs see the 10.4 netinstall image as an available startup system but when I select it the Mac just sits there with the spinning 'gear' and gets no further.I'm not sure if it is actually working or not, it certainly does not look like it!When this is happening my network seems to grind to a halt and my users on the network have problems connecting to other servers and also browsing network shares (on other servers).
Someone mentioned to me that perhaps the server si multicasting shich is flooding the network ?So, have 2 issues here; one where the client Mac does not get past the spinning 'gear' on the grey screen after selecting the NetInstall image to boot from and also the network slowing right down, grinding to a halt!
My dock and menu disappear only when I am using Safari. They re-appear when I hover my mouse at the location that they should be at, but for some reason their default positions are to be hidden.The dock and menu are present for all other apps and when I'm on the desktop--basically whenever Safari isn't "chosen" as the active window. I have checked to make sure that Safari is NOT in Full Screen mode.

I add a Numbers spreadsheet to my Finder sidebar with Command-T and then drag it to the position desired. Sometime later I'll open a Finder window and that icon is gone and I have not manually removed it.Any idea how to prevent this? I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3.

I've been having problems with iCloud. Every now and then when I send an email off to a recipient, there will not be a copy in the sent emails folder nor can I scroll up in the messages screen to see my sent email. This only happens on iCloud. I have a Gmail a/c on Mail.app too and no problems there.Â

We've had several users have problems logging into systems that perform client certificate authentication.Â
It appears that since friday (1st June) the private key has dissappeared from Keychain. In most cases its just the key, some users had both the key and cert dissapear.Â
These are all different machines, macbook pros, imacs, all running Lion and the keys were definately not deleted by the users.Â

About a week ago after shutting down the night before and restarting the next morning I noticed about 100 of my bookmarks (saved over the years) had vanished from Safari (5.1.7) / OS X Lion. I replaced bookmarks.plist from Time Machine which brought them back but they disappear again once I add any new bookmark. I've emptied cache, reset Safari and no joy. The added trouble now is I have to keep adding bookmarks every day so now I need to preserve the new ones but still get the old ones back.

I know this question has been asked and answered but when I read the answer in previous threads, it makes no sense to me. It gives a terminal command that says killall;dock. How can that fix a problem that involves the launchpad. Â
I had lots of apps in launchpad now I have fewer than half.I know the apps are actually in the applications folder but why does the icon not appear in Launchpad and how do I get them back.

Every few months I have an issue with iCal. One or more of my calendars COMPLETELY disappear. I have an iPhone with a list of calendars on the phone and on iCloud. The iCal application on my laptop only has iCloud. Calendars seem to magically vanish from iCloud while they remain on my phone. It's driving me crazy!!! I'm about to look for a different calendar app to use. I need my MacBook Pro to sync with my iPhone.Â

How do you change the hard drive icon picture in the top right corner to look like the macbook pro computer? I've seen this on a couple people's desktops and was just wondering how you do it. Also, how do you change the folder icon to something that looks cooler.

Then the other day I messed around with it - and now I get it It really is a nice feature!
The only thing that worries me, is whether it is a huge resource hog ? Activity Monitor doesnt really show how much cpu it takes...

However recently I've been discovering trying to access my dashboard for on the fly notes and weather, flight and movie listings, however within the past month they start randomly disappearing. I have the 4 default plus stickies plus the flight tracker and the movies one (all built in) and when I try to re add them they show up for a split second and then disappear again.
This is a August 2007 MacBookPro 2.2Ghz 2gig ram 8600 running Tiger 10.4.10. No external display or peripherals other than a mighty mouse and hte power adapter. I have 3 user accounts on the system, The main admin one (which never is used, and is preserved), My Standard non-admin account (having the issue) and a family account for everyone to use and access (Standard, non-admin). It only appears to happen on my account alone.
I'm totally freaking out right now, I have a MBP 17" 2007 model with 2.66 GhZ Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB RAM and GeForce 8600GT graphics. I was working on Adobe Acrobat when it crashed for some reason. I restarted the computer and clicked on "Send to Apple" (error report) but it suddenly hanged on this screen with bars all over my display
View 6 Replies View RelatedI don't want my MBP to show up in the shared list when I'm connected to my work network. I've unchecked everything in the shared list in system preferences but it still show up on other computers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to system prefs. and go into any submenu, the max/min/close buttons, as well as the search box, heck that entire bar just disappear. Its only when I hover over them do the individual items pop back into display, but the whole bar just doesn't restore itself. Like imagine the top bar on firefox, except its a white strip and the 3 buttons are rectangular blobs sticking out against the white. If that makes sense.
