My menu bar and dock keep disappearing.

I can get them back (temporarily) by using mouse arrow to top or bottom, but they disappear again.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:


killall Dock


Log out/in and test. If that doesnt work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.


Then try a dock reset.


Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command


killall Dock


Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.


If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.


If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.


Show User Library


You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
