I've a new computer w/snow leopard, which I've had for two weeks. Up until now, I hadn't used the genie effected on my dock. I come to find out it isn't working. I've tried what was suggested on another thread, which is: Users/myname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist, tossed in the trash and reboot, but it didn't work. Is there anything else I can do? I'd be much obliged for any help. Thank you. ~Pelusita

I'm sure there isn't a bug, probably just getting used to a new system. Why not call AppleCare, I'm sure they can help out on this minor issue. Your machine is covered for 90 days for free, you can find the local number by clicking AppleCare Contact Info.

Hey thanx, Eric. I appreciate you're response, but that didn't work either. It's probably a bloody glitch or a bug that Apple hasn't worked out yet. ~Pelusita

'Don't I feel like the "f" ing fool.' :::::Jack Nicholson sly grin::::::! You were right with the above statement. In the past, I would click the top of any part of whatever window I had open and the genie effect worked and the icon of whatever window I had clicked on would show up on the dock, next to the trashcan. Not so with 10.6.7. I came to find out that I have to click the [yellow] minimizing button for the genie effect to work. Mea maxima culpa -my bad. 😊
P.S. This is interesting If you want to watch the genie effect work in slow motion, hold down the "shift," key when you click the minimizing button. I found this quite by accident on Google.
Go into your system preferences and select dock then select the genie effect, if it is already select select scale then restart your system and go back and select genie effect.
No worries, I'm sure you'll find all kinds of new stuff.
