Somehow my application icon in the dock has disappeared. I have no idea where it went but it contains all my applications that i use. How do I get the application icon to return  to the dock. Thanks for your help. I am not computer literate by any means. Thanks

Goto your application folder, find your app then drag/drop it back to the dock.

  • I'm trying to restore my phone from back up but am being told the file is corrupt or incompatable with the device, but it's the only device I have! Am quite desperate as I lost all my photos and have no idea where they went or how to get them back.

    I was trying to copy the photos from my iphone onto my laptop, had them selected and then the laptop froze. Was also doing a software update on iphone (which I thoughi had finished). When I went back to the phone the photos were gone. I was also unable to find them on the laptop :-( (they were all of my new little baby)
    On trying to restore from previous backup, I got a message that the file was corrupt or not compatable with the current device, but I only have this phone to use and no other devices.
    I am unable to find any appropriate help topics on apple support. Any advice would be really appreciated

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

    You can redownload them from the App Store app.

  • I updated my iphone to the OS5 and my contacts are gone... any ideas on where they went or how to get them back?

    all contacts gone after updating to OS5... any ideas where they went or how to get them back?

    I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

  • I updated my computer to 10.10.1 and now my photoshop isn't in my applications folder anymore. Even when I try to export photos from Lightroom, PS isn't even an option anymore. Not sure where it went or how to get it back! Thanks!

    Using 6-7 year old software that's no longer receiving updates & was never designed to run on 10.10 is asking for trouble.   That said, try re-installing PS and installing Java SE6
    Java for OS X 2014-001
    It might work.  But again it might not.
    Good luck!

    Hey Katie,
    These are the recommended troubleshooting steps for when messages seem to have disappeared:
    If you have more than one account, make sure you’re looking at messages for the correct account.
    If you sorted messages, they may be in the list but not in the order you expect.
    It’s possible that a rule moved the message to another mailbox. Search for the message.Search messages
    Quit Mail and then reopen it.
    If the problem persists, you might need to rebuild the mailbox.Rebuild mailboxes

  • I am storing photos in Mac's iPhoto but editing them in PSE12. When I save my edits, everything disappears and I have no idea where they've been saved. I've looked at all the possibilities, but no luck so far. Any ideas?? Thx.

    I'm storing photos in iPhoto but editing them in PSE12. However when I save my edited photo I can never find where it's been put. My settings are set to put the photo back with the original, however it doesn't seem to be there, or anywhere else. Any ideas??

    You should not have to choose a location. The saved copy should automatically appear in the iPhoto Library. You must save (Cmd+S) after editing in the Elements Editor Application. Do not use “Save As”
    Under the iPhoto prefs – Advanced tab, if you have set up Elements as your external editor its best to set the default back to iPhoto so the first dropdown shows as:
    Edit Photos : In iPhoto
    You should then be able to edit normally e.g.
    Double-click to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in elements.
    Also launch the Elements Editor and go to Preferences >> Saving Files
    Set the dialog drop-down “On First Save” to show “Over Current File” and click OK.

  • I need to delete files from my iMac hard drive, but not from my other devices (that are sync. to iCloud). How do I do this?? My Mac is a 24-inch Mid 2007 running on Mountain Lion. Thanks for your help.

    I have recently recieved messages indicating that my start up disc is almost full. Consequently I need to remove some files from my hard drive. I've backed up my hard drive onto a NAS system & onto an external harddrive. The problem now, is that whenever I try to delete a file, a message comes up saying that if I remove this file from my hard disc it will remove it from all my other devices that are syn. to it. How do I remove a file (movies) from my iMac but not from other devices.
    Thanks for your help
    Robert

    You're right - this question has nothing to do with iSync!
    You're best bet would be to buy yourself an external Firewire or USB 2.0 hard-disk. There's no way you'll get 150gb onto an 80gb drive - certainly not in an instantly accessible way.
    Your new Mac would've had the Migration Assistant appear during the initial OS install. This allows you to connect your new and old Mac together via a Firewire cable and automatically transfer your important files from old Mac to new.
    Once you've all the files off your old Mac, re-format it and re-install the OS that came with it. If you boot up the Mac from the OS install DVD, there is an option to re-format the HD and install the OS.

  • Application folder icon in the Dock has a thick red bar

    The application folder icon in the Dock has a thick red bar across the top back. What does this mean? Assuming red is a negative indicator, how do I fix the issue?
    Thank you.

    Problem solved.
    It was the top of a red icon in the folder (Adobe of course). Found this out by arranging by kind rather then name.
    Feeling kind of red (faced) myself at this point.

  • Help; I cannot access my browser with all my bookmarks. When I press the firefox icon all that happens is that I go straight to yahoo. My e-mail is asampoh@yahoo.co.uk. Thanks for your help.

    When I press the firefox icon on my lap top I go straight to yahoo. There is no firefox browser and all my bookmarks have disappeared. What can I do to get the browser back.
    Thanks for your help.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • The @ icon above the trash has disappeared.

    The @ spring like icon above the trash has disappeared. I was moving something to the trash and I fear I may have moved it down into the trash bin and now I can't find it. Please help!

    Neil is right. That icon you accidentally deleted was an url icon. When clicked on your browser would open up and take you to the Apple website. You can bring the icon back just as Neil described. Once there, right mouse on the icon and 'Keep In Dock' should hold it in place.

  • Hi, I cannot restart or shut down my MAC and get the message Geneio.it installer is cancelling your request. Please shut down and retry. However, I cannot seem to exit that application and I have no idea where it came from. Thanks

    Could this be a virus?

    Hold down the Power button until the computer shuts down.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • How do I capture tape-based media to my external hard drive?  There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac.  The manual says to import tape footage directly into fcpx, but then I lose my external hard drive.   thanks for your help.

    In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive?  There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac.  The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose  my external hard drive    Do I  have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive?  On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media.  How is that done?  I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive.   thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem.  Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
    I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
    does not appear.  It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire.  ????
