We all love our Macs but there are always a couple small “features” that we could all trive without. Here are a few annoying ones and how to stop them. Be sure to share yours as well.
1. Stop obnoxious Bouncing Dock icons (Original Post)
fire up Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type in the following and hit enter:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool TRUE
And then type in the following to restart your dock:
killall Dock
From now on you will not be plauged by the bouncing icons!
And for whatever reason you want to turn it back on you can enter the following into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool FALSE
and then
killall Dock
2. Disable flash or countdown in Photo Booth
Disabling flash in PhotoBooth is really easy all you have to do is hold the Shift key while you click to take a picture and the screen will not flash white.
Disabling the picture count down in PhotoBooth is just a matter of holding down the Option key while you click to take a picture, your photo will take immediately.
If You combine the keystrokes by holding down Option-Shift, you’ll immediately take a picture without the flash.
3. Toggle hiding the Dock using the keyboard.
A keyboard shortcut I use multiple times a day is Command + Option + D.
This will toggle hiding the dock. Great for anyone working with large windows and applications.
