IMac (Intel) :: Keep In Dock Does Not Work On Maverick?
Aug 27, 2014
Just a couple days ago keep in dock no longer works. Rebooting resets everything. I tried deleting the preferences file for dock, no luck. Same problem. I tried restoring it from an earlier time. No luck. Still does not work. I am using the latest versions of everything. Oh, and yes I use and have tried and checked antivirus programs. No virus. I've tried removing them. Still doesn't work.
I have just installed Maverick. When I use Safari and try and open a Pdf file from a webpage I get a black screen and tells me to download Adobe. I have reinstalled adobe reader but still don't get anywhere. I can open any pdf files I have previously stored or have in downloads or in documents.
I only just downloaded Mavericks this past week. I don't like how we have to use the "shift" or "command" key to delete multiple emails. I preferred and found it simpler to just use my mouse and click and highlight. Can this might revert back ?
My mail icon on the sidebar has a red circle with #'s in it even though I have read all of the mail. How do I get rid of it so it only turns up red when I have new mail?
The Dock doesn't appear. Spaces is greyed out and won't stay enabled. Desktop picture cannot be selected (stays standard blue screen). Screensaver does not work and cannot set hot corner.
I have deleted the dock plists, restarted, repaired permissions, updated to 10.6.8, restarted again. Still no dock, no Spaces, no desktop picture change, no screensaver.
How did this begin? I had lots of large-memory apps running (eg. Photoshop, Garageband, Pages, Audacity, etc) and then there was a freeze, I can't remember which app – probably Photoshop) and I had to shutdown using the on/off button.
After that startup, all the problems were present. :-( (I've looked at related Dock-crash posts here: I do not have installed: Parallels; Fusion.)
Info: 2.8GHz Intel Core i5, Mac OS X (10.6.6), 4GB; 1TB ; 27"
I have a 2013 iMac running 10.10.1 and I've noticed this gray bar that appears at the bottom of my screen.Very short...about the width of the standard folder icon. It only appears with the dock and it doesn't matter if the dock is at the bottom or the left/right side of the screen....when the dock disappears, so does the bar. (photo attached)
Every once in a while my sound just either stops working, or won't come on when I begin to play something. I try moving the volume up & down, turning things on & off, plugging and unplugging headphones, etc, and there seems to be no consistent method to get it back to functioning... What could be going on to cause this?
The Apple Mac computer is setup with rEFIt and boots into Windows XP.I would like to boot into the Mac, however the username and password don't work. I have tried rebooting and pressing Ctrl+S, but the command line interface didn't open? URL.... apart from a full installation.I don't know if I can access the retail DVD.
Currently I have a white iMac. It's the one that looks like the G5, but it's not a G5, because it has the iSight and an Intel processor. It's running Tiger. I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Would it run okay?
Here are the specs: Version 10.4.11 Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory: 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Am having issues with mirroring my display to my apple tv via Airplay mirroring. I am able to airplay via iTunes movies/videos but can't get the mirroring display function to work.

Target Display Mode display mode won't work with my imac 21.5" mid 2011. I tried both commands cmd+f2 and cmd+fn+f2 but nothing! I'm using thunderbolt cable to connect my macbook air. Why I'm can't use my imac as external monitor?
Every time I come back to my computer and wake it up, it shows full connection to my network but will not work. After I turn the wi-fi off, and back on, it is fine. How do I get it to work without having to do that every time my computer goes to sleep?
I have an iMac G3 keyboard that I'm trying to use with my MacBook, it works PERFECT, except when I press caps lock it just stops working. Also, when I first plug it in the Caps Lock light flashes green for just a split second. Is there any chance of getting hold of some software that would help?
Speakers work but cannot get any sound output. Running windows 7 on Intel iMac. Speakers sound on booting and graphics in Control panel and on toolbar indicate sound is being recieved but nothing comes out of speakers or headphones.
I'm new to the forum. I've tried searching out the answer to this question, but couldn't find any recent postings.
I've just received a new 2009 3.06ghz Intel iMac Core Duo 1TB ATI Radeon computer. My internet connection is dial-up (not Ethernet or WiFi). I just discovered there's no phone connection on the new iMac, and that I need a USB modem.
The computer booklet recommends the Apple External USB Modem. I found this one on Amazon:

But the customer reviews suggest it may not be truly compatible with Intel machines. It may cause system freezes. I found a thread on this forum that mentioned the problem may have to do with using an unpowered USB hub. I won't be using the keyboard or any hub. The USB modem will be plugged directly into the back of my iMac.
Does anyone know if this will work, or if not, is there another USB modem that will?
When I try to click System Preference on the dock and this thing comes up "You can't open the application System Preferences because it may be damaged or incomplete." is there anyway I can fix it?
Dock hiding just doesn't work any more. Specifically, the dock WILL hide, but it won't return when I need it to. You can move the cursor to the bottom of the screen (where my dock presently is), and nothing happens. This has happened before, but now it happens consistently. It's awfully frustrating. A couple of times today, hiding wouldn't turn on, either (that is, the dock just wouldn't hide at all), but that's sortof a moot point, since if it HAD hidden, it wouldn't have reappeared.
in the past week or so this minor problem began to occur. expose suddenly doesn't work, my hidden dock won't appear when I move my mouse to the bottom of the screen, when I move my mouse over my bookmarks in Safari, they don't "highlight" like usual, my mouse pointer arrow doesn't change to the "hand" when moving over links, etc. This is very strange, when I click Safari at the top of my screen I actually have to hold down the left click to scroll down to "preferences" or "quit" or whatever. i can't single click and just drag down. i have to actually click and hold.
the dock/menu bar at the bottom gets in the way, and causes the windows to overlap when i position them vertically, or when i try to do quarter screens.
