Downloads from Safari no longer bounce on Dock once Completed

Noticed after the most recent Mac update, once I complete a download from Safari, the file no longer bounces up and down from the dock's download folder.

I loved that feature, since once it started bouncing, I could immediately grab that file and drag into a text or email.

Now I have to double click and open the download folder and navigate to that file. Not a huge deal but would love to get the bounce feature back.

Please help....

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
