Mac OS X: Icons Fall Out of the Dock?

Posted on March 26, 2007 by Administrator

Hi Macolytes.

AppleAny idea why an icon will fall out of the dock if the associated program crashes?

I have noticed this problem several times with recent versions of Yahoo! Messenger (3.0 beta 1 build 18274). When YM crashes, its dock icon is removed and I must open the Finder and drag the icon back to the dock. Very annoying. The Skype client is 10x more robust than YM.

Also, does anybody know of a more reliable program to use the Yahoo! Messenger network than their flaky client program?

  1. Yahoo! Messenger reliably crashes when no Internet connection is available on both Mac OS X and Windows XP.
  2. There’s no way to save a text-only (no HTML) version of a session with emoticons intact on Mac OS X.
