Let's look at things that might actually cause the symptoms described.įirst, there used to be a problem where people would accidentally drag things off their Finder sidebar and wonder where they'd gone. NOTHING in your home folder will even be looked at by Repair Permissions.

NOTHING in your home folder was installed that way. Repair Permissions only sets permissions on files/folders back to the permissions they were installed with, and only if they were installed using Apple's Installer. Repair Permissions cannot possibly fix this problem. In this video it is working as it should be (right after a restart):
MAC PRO DOCK AND TRASHCAN DISAPPEARED UPDATE
Update 3įor clarity, here are videos showing what the issue is. I am assuming I didn't notice this before because it is being caused by an application that was reopening (because I usually check off the "Reopen applications" option). It turns out that restarting does fix it temporarily and repair permissions has nothing to do with it.

Going to test some things to see what might be causing it to revert. But then things went right back to not working again. Running repair disk permissions from disk utility then restarting worked for a while.
MAC PRO DOCK AND TRASHCAN DISAPPEARED HOW TO
So I am mostly wondering if anyone else is having this issue and/or if it is an OSX bug or how to fix it. Googling doesn't seem to turn up any information either. I have restarted several times and tried to find any sort of setting that might be turned off. I have a mid 2012 retina MBP and my friend has an older (2010 i think) non retina MBP. I have confirmed the issue with a friend but have several other friends for which everything is working fine. I can select more but when I drag them to a new folder or other location the most that will get moved is 86. If I drag it somewhere and release the mouse button, it just opens the app/file.Īnd in Finder, I am only able to drag and move/copy 86 items. I also can't drag items from the download stack that I have beside my trash can in the dock. I am unable to drag items off of the Dock (to remove them). I have been having issues with Finder and the Dock ever since the upgrade to 10.10.1 (I can't be certain they weren't there in 10.10).
