Make the required modifications to your Dock, and restart. Once you find it, Get Info and ensure you have Read& Write permissions for the file. So yours may be in different locations in different Library files. It might be in a library under Users or in the System file.Īfter deleting mine the first time I could only find it in the pathway on the start up drive System folder/ Library/LaunchAgents file. No short cuts! Open your start up hard-drive, open the Library folder, open the preferences folder, and find the - it may be in a different Library folder then the main Folder in your system. So to summarize my rambling what I think is the answer to my Dock issues for others looking for a fix: I had to manually go through folders item by item until I found it again. I think maybe this was an indexing lag that added to the confusion.but I honestly don't know 100%. Now I used utilities to repaired permissions, and also used TechTool from Micromat, which are time consuming, and they would say that everything checked out, everything was repaired, but it still would revert to default every time.Īs others have noted, after deleting and restarting, Spotlight would not reliably show that the ist was rebuilt so it looked like there was no replacement file to even delete half the time. That was when I deleted it and restarted, but it would always reset to default. Now I had checked permissions with Utilities initially, and repaired them, I had checked the "get info" file info as well, but that plist was corrupted somehow to begin with, so it wasn't repairing correctly I'm guessing. Changed the Dock, restarted, and since then my Dock changes stay after restart. Okay, I seem to have fixed it! It has required a lot of redundancy, as I had to repeat the same tasks over and over until I found what ever magic order of operations was required for it to work! Basically I deleted the, which was the only real advice anyone ever suggested, and then once it was rebuilt, I opened the "Get Info" on the new plist file, unlocked it, and ensured it was read/write enabled for permissions. Worked for me hope this helps somebody else In Library go to preferences and replace the file off the pen drive Log out and log back into your original account In Library go to preferences and copy the file onto a pen drive In the finder menu press alt and go to GO/Library (that way you can see if things have worked later on) Ĭustomise the dock in this account so it looks different from the default
The fix is quite simple and goes like this. However I have come up with a fix for my problem which may be useful for others experiencing dock trouble like ours. Unfortunately it didn't work for me or indeed any of the other suggested resets for my dock that I found elsewhere. Yours was the only post I could find that related to this and I tried your suggested fix.
After ridding my machine of norton my dock kept resetting itself and I lost my hot corners.
MAC RESTART DOCK UPGRADE
It happened when I uninstalled norton from my mac as the upgrade had slowed down my machine to a crawl. Hi rotwiler I've just experienced the same sort of Dock melt down as you have described.
