I recently installed Super Dock on my Mac and uninstalled it because i didn't like it, but it seems that the effects of the program still exist (custom animations and behaviors made by the program).How would I go about fixing that ? Can I reinstall the Dock ?

View 7 Replies View RelatedToday the OS X dock on my late '08 MacBook Pro 15" stop working like normal. It used to be, when an App was open, the icon would appear in the dock with a sort of highlight.
Now, the apps run fine but no longer appear in the dock. If I minimize it, it does show as a running app in the left hand side, but that isn't what I want it to do. Is there a quick way to get it to work again?
Very suddenly my dock has disappeared, (and occasionally reappears), and is now completely non-useable. Why..? I have created other accounts on my computer previously and the dock on those is fine...I have looked in Activity monitor and it flashes on and then disappears in there.I tried using terminal to 'killall Dock', but this did nothing...Am using Leopard on Alu iMac.
So i changed the color of my dock with dock doctor and i tried to change it back to default but it wont do it. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed 2 ne w Optical drives in a 2008 3,1 MacPro Quadcore.After installation and booting up, the system profiler failed to show ANY optical drives and I was unabel to open/eject the drives naturally. I then unplugged the bottom one and rebooted and the top drive (still plugged in ) worked. I then shut down and unplugged the top drive and plugged in the bottom drive - rebooted and now the BOTTOM drive is recognized. When BOTH drives are plugged in , the system fails to show either of them.So when individually plugged in it's fine but when bith are plugged in neither of the drives are detected or operate.

On my MacBook Pro (Late 2007, Discrete, Snow Leopard), Adobe Photoshop CS5 keeps removing itself from my dock for no reason. I'll drag the app to my dock and within about 5 seconds, the app simply disappears from the dock. I have tried dragging it back multiple times, restarting my computer, etc, but it always disappears within about 5 seconds.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a fairly new Mac user (2 months) and there is something I'd like to do that I haven't figured out how to do (or even if possible). I'd like to setup something on the Dock so that when I click on it a pop-up list displays that has all my applications and I can then click an application to start it. I have created an alias to my Application folder and have moved that folder to the Dock, but when I click on it, it opens a window that I then have to close after my application starts. I want it to work more like the Start menu in Windows (gasp).

View 9 Replies View Relatedfor a while now I've had a problem that is driving me up the wall. I cannot remove an icon from my dock (as in dragging it off or right click, and hitting "Remove from Dock") without the Dock locking up for a second, crashing, and restarting.
On restart, the icon I wanted to remove is still there.

I tried going into ~/Library/Prefernces and deleting com.apple.plist and the other db plist file but besides resetting my dock preferences, the problem persists. Do you think it could be an issue with Dock.app itself (on my system)?
I made a video about some hidden options that let you change certain things in the dock such as: Menu items, spacers, and the name of the trash.

Is it push as well? or is it just a shortcut? I was browsing here, post 125 and searched but I was unsuccessful at finding the app used to do this?

View 2 Replies View Relatedjust got my 27 inch Imac, did all software updates and Dock will not magnify...
when I first went to settings it magnified a little (as in it magnified my dock icons just a little), and I already thought that this was odd. After setting my hot corners it did not magnify at all...
Occasionally I've gotten a weird situation where the Dock would crash over and over. I can't figure out how/when it happens. So far it seems like a simple login/logout fixes it for a while.
Any idea looking at this crash log?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have noticed over the last week or so that my battery has been faster than normal, and also that the fans have been spinning faster/more often. Eventually I looked at CPU usage in activity monitor and it said that the dock was using 101.xx%. I killed it and it seems to have worked. My question is, why was this happening and is that normal?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3), iPhone 4 32gig, aTV2, iPad2
My dock is using 90% of my CPU.
I have nothing else running. I used to have Parallels, but when I started having this problem I removed it, and it still continues to happen. When I login as another user though, it doesn't happen anymore.

I've seen several post about this issue, which was caused by either VMware or changing the desktop background. However, neither is the problem for me. I have the default background and I don't even have VMware installed. Here is a screenshot of my active programs:'
I have the new MBP with Retina and Lion 10.7.4. I tried loading in safe mode with same problem. I don't use parallels or anything similar either.
