Reset killall dock

[herman238]

I recently switched from firefox to safari, but I used the killall dock command to lock the dock.

I wish to unlock the dock so i can remove firefox and add safari, does anyone the command/a way to do this?

Thanks

killall dock just kills the dock process. It doesn't lock it (there is no way to lock the dock). The dock should automatically restart when killed. If it hasn't try logging out and logging back in.

I may have used another command beforehand then, but trust me it is locked

what command did you use? "killall Dock" just restarts the dock. use the command you used to 'lock' the dock but replace "TRUE" with "FALSE".

Open Terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool FALSE ; killall "Dock"

The kilall "Dock" part just relaunches the Dock. It's the defaults write part that does the trick.
