missing dock icons

After a restart of my computer, only about half of my dock items reappeared.  The app is still there, but there is no icon visible.  When you open the application, the small black dot to indicate that the app is open appears.  I have tried rebooting several times and have checked the disk with disk utility.  I use the current version of El Capitan on a macbook pro.

Try to restart in Mode safe, then returns to the Normal Mode.

    Failure of Options when you click the Dock icon to include 'Desktop in the display (number).

    I use an iMac 24 "mid-2007. The help documentation tells me how to assign an application to a space is to use this Option. But it does not, while the other three are. Is this an error or something that can be explained? Could there be a work around? My OS is El Capitan.

    Hi peterwhi,

    I understand you are trying to set an application to open its windows on a particular space. To do this, move to the space that you want to use for the desired application, and then choose 'The Office' in the list of options you mentioned see (under Options).

    OS X El Capitan: working in multiple spaces
    https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH21872

    The option that you describe as missing is displayed only if you have connected an additional external display to your iMac and would set the app to open on the iMac screen or the external display.

    Office on the screen [number]: the application opens in the current space on a specific screen (if more than one display is available).

  • Weird behavior of Safari Dock icon

    For several months now, I noticed a weird behavior of the Safari icon on the dock.

    Note: I have the Safari Dock permanently icon in the dock if the application is running or not for quick access.

    With open Safari, after periods of inactivity or after the awakening of the mode standby, the icon will lose the small black dot on the bottom that indicates an active application.

    By clicking on the icon or a .webloc file reveals that Safari is still active, but because the icon does not animate as it does when it is launched.

    How can I fix and when Safari * is * open its Dock icon indicates that it * all the time *?

    Probably also related...

    All too often, after similar as scenarios above, Safari actually leave - all on its own.

    How can I fix this too?

    Safari has also been freezing quite often lately have to be re-launched or sometimes requiring a restart of the computer system.

    Something is not.

    Go step by step and test.

    1. Disable Extensions and test them.

    Safari > Preferences > Extensions

    Uncheck 'Enable the Extension' and test.

    Enable the Extensions one by one and test.

    To uninstall any extension, select it and click the "Uninstall" button

    2. Quit Safari if it is open.

    Hold down the option key and click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

    Select 'Library', then 'Caches.

    Find the folder "com.apple.Safari".

    Right-click on "com.apple.Safari" and select "move to trash".

    Restart Safari.

    3 remove the test and com.apple.Safari.plist file.

    Empty the trash.

    Quit all applications.

    Hold down the option key and click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

    Select 'Library' in the menu dropdown.

    Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist

    Right-click on it and select "place it in the trash.

    Close the Finder window.

    Turn it back on.    Restart Safari.

    If this does not help, "put back" the com.apple.Safari.plist

    Right click on the trash icon in the Dock, then select 'open '.

    Right-click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select 'Put Back'.

  • Any way to keep Dock icons to jump?

    I have sensory processing problems. Animation hurts. I know that the jump is supposed to indicate alerts, but the alerts were never important, let alone sufficiently important to justify the migraine pain and potential. Is it possible to stop the cursed jump?

    (and the cursed cursor flashing in applications that use the Apple text tools and pain in applications that use Apple leaves, etc.).

    Marja,

    You've been given the steps in 2014. to restrict the cursor blink in the selected applications. Is it now does not work in El Capitan for you, or he was confined to the scope of application?

    The following can disable Dock icons which rebounds in El Capitan, or it may not. It is a Terminal solution. Only copy and paste commands of blue text and follow each line with a return.

    # Disable Dock icons which rebounds (except Launchpad) for this account

    $ default write com.apple.dock non-rebond - bool True

    $ killall Dock

    # activate Dock icons which rebounds for this account

    $ default write com.apple.dock non-rebond - bool False

    $ killall Dock

  • Dock icons have been removed, but appear in the Applications folder

    Hi, I ve had some problems with the dock icons. Since yesterday I can't see native IOS icons like finder, mail or launchpad. However, I checked my app folder and here they are with the same problem. No native applications as google chrome has had the same problem, but once I have check the option 'get info' allowing the application I have fixed the copy of the problem and paste the icon. When I try with native applications, I could not. I don't know if it's a virus or what, but my macBook takes longer to rise. You have the same problem? You have to be able to help me?

    In assuming that you already restarted your Mac, try the secure boot mode.

    Stop your Mac. Use the power button if you wish. Now start with the SHIFT key is pressed. This will start in Safe Mode, with all extensions turned off. Safe mode is slow to start, so give it time, it checks a lot of staff. If it works fine in Safe Mode, restart normally. If it works now, you are finished.

    If the problem comes back after a reboot, you have an extension conflict. Disable all extensions via system preferences. To isolate which extension is at fault, turn on an extension at the same time, restart in the meantime, until you find the bad Apple.

  • Why you don't put a "missed call" icon on the status bar?

    Hello and sorry for my English, I hope you understand me.

    Why you don't put a "missed call" icon on the status bar for example next to the wifi icon?

    The problem is, I missed a lot of calls, because I don't see a for example missed call when im listening to music or when I use the maps in my car and my iphone is always turned on. I often go out to my car for 3-5 minutes, because I work in the service of delivery. When im not in the car and someone calls me, I can't see it when I'm back in the car. The missed call is in the home screen on the phone visible (visible?) icon.

    Sometimes, I have 3 or 5 missed calls, my wife is angry about this, my patronized too, they call me twice every time, or I have to watch every time every 5 minutes on the home screen the phone icon to see if I have a missed call.

    The problem is every time when the iphone is still on and I not always in the middle.

  • The Dock icon shows 1 number of Inbox. iCal Inbox is empty

    My iCal on my Macbook Pro dock icon shows me that I have a message from Inbox iCal to answer or acknowledge:

    My screen main iCal shows nothing in the Inbox:

    They normally appear in the bar of the window where I took a screenshot

    Quit and restart iCal makes no difference, and no more than the time elapsed. Idea would be appreciated. I imagine a system restart could solve, bit it is a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a tiny nut. Ideas received with gratitude, please

  • How to put an application on the dock icon without the arrow shortcut showing at 07:00

    If I understand you correctly, simply drag the application in the dock. No need to create an alias first.

  • Satellite A30-921 PSA33E - no sound and the missing "speaker" icon

    Some time ago, I lost the sound and also the missing "speaker" icon.
    But the sounds in the control panel and all its grayed out. Restarted the system and everything has been restored.

    Once again lost both and rebooted but is more than this noise of restoration. Icon was back at the helm of the tasks, but when you click on it, all greyed out.

    Uninstalled the audio driver and used the disk utility to try to restore the sound, but does not work: visited the download from Toshiba site and I tried the Realtek driver, no luck. Checked with my Bios Update and I have the latest version.

    What is going on???

    If anyone can help...

    Congratulations to all.

    Hello

    I think that you must first remove the old sound driver.
    Check if there is an entry in Control Panel-> Add & Remove programs.

    In addition, you should go to the Device Manager and should remove the sound card in the list of devices.
    Just mark the sound card and remove it.
    Reboot the laptop.

    After that restart of the operating system (Win XP) should start looking for a new device and should ask the audio driver.
    This is the time to point the driver package, and files that you downloaded from the Toshiba European page.

    Check to see if that would help!

    I'm not a Mac user, but reminds me of the function of continuity that lets pursue something on another device, or discount. The definition of the procedure of transfer of the iPhone in settings > general > Handoff & suggested Apps, says that "transfer allows you to start something on one device and instantly pick it up on other devices using your iCloud account. The application you need appear in the lock screen, app switcher and Dock on Mac. »

    Hope that helps.

  • Missing notification icon for wireless keyboard and mouse in the systray area.

    Missing notification icon for wireless keyboard and mouse in the systray area. Was working before the hard disk crash. Had to reload Windows Vista 64 bit OS. Have computer model gateway GT5678.

    Chances are good the software to include these icons in notification tray cam pre-installed on the bridge.  If you still all original gateway software, try to see if something in the menu start / all programs of the gateway seems as it can contain controls for these settings and run the program to check and see if it does.  If none of the gateway software help (assuming that all this is still installed) and re-installing the drivers did not work and there is no controls at the keyboard or the mouse, so I know what else to think.  These icons are not available with Vista - they were installed by a third-party device or software driver.

    I'm sorry that gateway could not help you.  They are those that you need to do to solve this problem, because it is something that they installed with the original computer which is not re-installled after you change hard drives.  They should know what software for it and power point yoo to a download site, or you send a disk with this software.  We can't really do anything else to help you.

    Good luck!
