I'm playing around with Dock and until now I was using killall Dock command to relaunch it.



Now I used killall -KILL Dock and my Dock went down without relaunching itself. I tried restarting my mac but it did not help.



I tried to open also /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock/Contents/MacOS/Dock but all I'm getting is:



2018-08-18 22:05:31.276 Dock[1061:44244] -[__NSCFNumber stringByExpandingTildeInPath]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xe5cdf6a4f4b8bcfb
2018-08-18 22:05:31.277 Dock[1061:44244] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFNumber stringByExpandingTildeInPath]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xe5cdf6a4f4b8bcfb'


Is there any way I can get my Dock back :(?

  • Check to see if the Dock is hiding, press ⌥⌘D (Option-Command-D), Also, in Terminal, run pgrep Dock and if it doesn't return the PID, then run open -a Dock and let us know what happens.

  • The shortcut does not work at all. pgrep Dock returns a PID and open -a Dock does nothing too. Also doing killall Dock returns No matching processes belonging to you were found

  • Anther update. I did killall Finder then open -a Dock and now killall Dock does not return anything at all - so it seems that it should be working, but it is not :( And after doing nothing at all in terminal and trying to do killall Dock again it returns the error :/

So, fortunately I found where the problem was - it was the desktoppicture.db file. Probably a corrupted one. Removing it made the macOS replaced it automagically with a new one :)
