Driving me insane: I can't remove ANYTHING from the Dock!

[CristobalHuet]

Hey folks,

for a while now I've had a problem that is driving me up the wall. I cannot remove an icon from my dock (as in dragging it off or right click, and hitting "Remove from Dock") without the Dock locking up for a second, crashing, and restarting.

On restart, the icon I wanted to remove is still there.

Here's a video:

I tried going into ~/Library/Prefernces and deleting com.apple.plist and the other db plist file but besides resetting my dock preferences, the problem persists. Do you think it could be an issue with Dock.app itself (on my system)?


Please, any input is really appreciated

Here's the console log.

Onyx! Haha, I've already got it, I'll give it a shot.

Didn't work.

My icons aren't "locked" into place but rather I just can't get them off my Dock. I can move them in my Dock but not off it.

repairing permissions, if that doesn't work archive or erase and install. did you by any chance use candybar or superdocker, or an app that changes your dock's appearance. I'm pretty sure that in superdocker, there is a way to lock your dock.

I did use an app that changes the dock's appearance, I think it was LeopardDocks App or CandyBar, can't remember. It wasn't Superdocker though.

Thanks, I'll repair them right away.

EDIT: Funny, Onyx just told me I put an invalid password in when I didn't, and recommends I repair permissions if that's the case.

If repairing permissions doesn't work, create a second user account and log in with it. See if the dock still has the problem or not.

Permissions were repaired, but the Dock still crashes.

I'll try that now.

EDIT: Dang that Logmein (was connected remotely), I'll have to wait till I get home.
