Toast 7 will not totally quit (it remains in the dock) and I am not familiar with terminal commands. It's done this before and a restart will fix it but I would like to try and get this resolved some other way.
How do I go about this?

thanks

You can go Apple Menu > Force Quit and quit it from there. If that doesn't work then you use Terminal. Open Terminal and type in "top" (you may have to make the window bigger), find Toast 7 and remember the number next to it, press "Q", then type "kill <Toast's Number>. That should do it for you. I would also suggest reinstalling toast so it does not do that any more.

...or just use

killall "Toast Titanium"

or

killall Toast\ Titanium

in Terminal, no need for the pid... :)


"No matching processes belonging to you were found" is what I got

Toast is not in the list

Try killing the Dock process.
Here's to the Crazy Ones


That got rid of the stuck progress bar under the icon.

Edit: I'll just restart

thanks

Well, if the triangle under (next to) the Toast icon will not go away (or, bare with me, does the triangle dissapear while the icon remains, right? Edit: it doesn't seem so ;)), and no Toast process is found running then Lacero's suggestion of killing the Dock, which can be done with Terminal, sounds good:

killall Dock

If the Dock is the problem, you could try deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist, and to be sure maybe /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dockfixup.plist (if you have it) and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxxxxxxx.plist then reboot (or log out and back in, or just restart Finder with "killall Finder" in Terminal).

The triangle is still there. Correct
This has happened before and restarting will resolve it.
I wanted to try fixing w/o resorting that.

A few times, I've had applications which seem to be running because the triangle in the Dock is still there. Merely clicking on the application icon causes the triangle to go away.
