I Bought a Mac: What to do when your dock stops working

  • Universal · 2 years ago
    I completely disabled magnification of the dock and my Mac seems to be running even faster than it was before. That and the fact that I have [counting; 1, 2, 3.....16, 17....43, 44...58, 59...] 60 icons in my dock. I need to clean it up a bit :-P

    There is always the terminal. Actually my Dock died today, and it didn't restart automaticly so I opened the terminal and typed in the regular...


    killall Dock

    ... To get rid of it. Other times I just use Activity Monitor :)

    As an alternative to launching the Activity Monitor, simply hit CMD+Option+Esc and restart the Finder.
