Persistent Question Mark In Dock, How Can I Remove It?

I deleted an app ensuring that all that app's files were deleted, using EasyFind.
Where that app's icon existed in my dock, there now appears a question mark, and I cannot get rid of it. Anyone know how?

HI,
Delete this file from your Preferences folder.
com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. If the ? mark is still in the Dock, try dragging it off now.

    I'm sorry no-one has answered you yet - I'm afraid I don't know the answer to the question: but I wanted to put into your mind that starting up with AppleWorks at this stage isn't a good idea. The program was 'end-of-lifed' years ago, it won't run on Lion, and some of the document types created in it - Databases in particular - cannot be opened at all by any other program whatever. Word Processing documents can be opened in Pages, and Spreadsheets in Numbers (with some reservations in both cases), but building up a collection of AppleWorks documents at this stage is going to lead to problems later on.
    It's difficult to know what to recommend for a PowerPC machine that would still be compatible with modern ones. An older version of Microsoft Office, perhaps, if you can find one which will run on PPC; but most of the modern Word Processors are Intel only. This is something you would need to investigate.

    Try this.
    Erase and Reinstall OS X
    Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
    Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
    Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
    Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
    Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
    Select the Erase tab.
    Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
    After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
    Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
    Follow the instructions.
    I hope I solved your question.

  • I forgot my iCloud security question, also the email address I registed. How can I remove unconfirmed iCloud iD on my Ipad Air (iOS 7)?

    When I first set up my grandpa new Ipad Air. I registed an iD-based his name like t•••••••••••@******but in reality such gmail did exsist and I do not know. I was confident that I remember the password so I can change the email later. But now, I forgot all the password, also the security question's answer. So, how can I remove the unconfirmed iCloud account on my device?
    <Edited by Host>

    Hi Noisyzbeez, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    You would need to know the password to the Apple ID set up on the device to remove it from the iCloud settings. The attached article has information on resetting the password via email or security questions. If you are unable to change the password after attempting these two ways, which it sounds like you are, there is also a link towards the bottom of the article to contact Apple Support.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password
    Regards, 
    Joe

  • I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?

    I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?  I've tried dragging and dropping from the Print window - no luck.  I tried to drag from the Systems folder - no luck.   IOS 10.9.4

    Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.
    What happens if you run a print job, control click the printer icon>Options>Keep in Dock

  • I accidentally pushed the power button of my macbookpro... it restarted but doesnt open... what appears now is a flashing FOLDER logo with a QUESTION MARK on it.. can someboby help me to fix this?

    i accidentally pushed the power button of my macbookpro... it restarted but doesnt open... what appears now is a flashing FOLDER logo with a QUESTION MARK on it.. can someboby help me to fix this?

    (Assuming you don't have a firmware boot lock set)
    First easy step...
    1. Shut down the computer if it's on (hold the power button down... until it shuts off)
    2. Press the power button
    3. Immediately press AND hold the Option key ASAP
         Hold until drive option images appear in a single row across the screen. Typically most people running 10.7 or 10.8 will see 2 drive options to boot from: the main volume they usually boot from, and a recovery volume. If your main volume pops up. Use the cursor or arrow keys to highlight/select the main volume and press enter. That should boot your main volume. Let me know what you get from this point... I'll give you more as you go along.

  • How can I remove the flags on emails on my Ipad all at the same time. I marked them all by mistake 4800 :(

    i marked by mistake all my emails with a flag how can I remove them all at the same time

    Click on 'Music' in the iTunes sidebar. Look to see whether you have a 'Kind' column:
    If you haven't, choose 'View Options' from the 'View' menu and check 'Kind':
    Now go to the Music list again and click on the label of the 'Kind' column. This will group all your AACs and MP3s together. Locate the MP3s: click on the top one. Hold the shift key and click on the bottom one to select them all. If you want to save them drag them to a folder on your Desktop. Then hit 'Delete'. IMPORTANT: when promted, choose to have them moved to the Trash, otherwise they will be removed from the list but kept in the actual library.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should work : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.
