Hi. first of all hello I'm new, got my white macbook on friday and loving it.

But...

Today, somehow, no idea what i've done but i can't access the dock while its in auto hiding mode. When I run the mouse down the bottom of the screen it doesn't appear. I've been forced to turn auto hiding off in order to get access. Can anyone help me, it really annoying?

Have you tried restarting the computer with Dock set to autohide in the System Preferences menu?

If you remember how it happened, let us know. I've spent at least four years trying to do that on purpose!

Im having the same problem I cant auto hide the dock anymore b/c if I do, the mouse won't "unhide" it if I move it over. Also, my active corners dont work for the same reason (moving the mouse to the screen corner won't trigger my widgets or expose to pop up).

This is really annoying me because I rely on my widgets alot. Please help (yes I've tried restarting !!!)
