Show Notes:
The bouncing of an dock Icon is to notify you of an event, like some ones is trying to get a hold of you via Instant massage or a proses that is done,
But it can be annoying at times.
You can make the Dock icons stop bouncing off the walls, even when an application is trying to notify you of something, by entering the following command in the terminal. But first you may need to know where terminal is located at! This is found in Applications > Utilities.
Now you can type the following:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool TRUE
Then you’ll want to restart the Dock by killing it for the changes to take effect:
killall Dock
You can get the bouncy Dock icons back by changing the command to FALSE rather than TRUE, and of course kill the Dock again.
It makes you wonder why didn’t apple call the DOCK a PLANK it sure looks like a plank to me!

And that going to do it for this episode of Mac Tip Podcast I hope you enjoyed it
