Why have I got 2 Safari icons on the desktop?

Hello
I don't know how this happened, but I now have 2 Safari icons in the dock (one is outlined by a square when clicked), but when my husband goes into his account, he can't get Safari and it doesn't show in the finder!
Can anybody advise, or will I have to get somebody out to look at this?
Thanks

not sure why it's there twice.  just use your mouse to lift one of them up above the dock and it will "poof" and disappear.

    Try dragging the Icon from your dock to the desk top and it should go POOF.  Open your applications folder and drag the Safari icon to the dock.

  • Why have I got an exclamation mark in the top left corner of my outbox iphone 5

    I sent a message to a third party and it got delivered ok. Since then I am now seeing an exclamation mark inside a red area in the top left hand corner of my iphone 5. I've tried logging out of Yahoo and then back in. I've switched my phone off for two minutes and then gone back in but the thing is still there?
    Help please anyone.

  • HT1688 On my iphone 4 below the search window, I have three greyed out safari icons with different web links attached

    I have a iPhone 4 8GB. I have three greyed out safari icons that doesn't say safari but a web link. It's like a bookmark to your homepage but not in your homepage.   I noticed it when I deleted all my web pages and on that one web page where it says "search or type in a address" right below it where it's just all white, there's three grey looking safari icons with each one with a different web site that's attached to it. When I tap on it it goes to a specific website. For ex one if them says www.longchamp.com, the other macys.com. There's no way to delete it. The wired thing is each one in color it like three shades of grey . Light, med and darker grey icons. When I hold down the icon you can move it around but can't delete, nothing just nothing. It's been there for the longest time I can remember. Do you know what this is? I took a pic of it. I don't know how to attach it to this discussion. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • Why have I got TWO help menus in iCal?

    Why have I got two Help menus in iCal, one beside the other? I'd post a screen shot but I can't find any way to do that.

    Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again.  See if that doesn't eliminate one of them.

  • Safari Icon moved to desktop- wont work in app. folder ?

    For a long time now my Safari icon has been on my desktop in addition to the dock. I never moved it there, no one has used the computer, etc. so I have no clue as to why/how this happened. So I try and drag it back to the app. folder and authenticate. Then I try and run Safari by double clicking on the icon on the dock. It won't open- says parts are missing? Only way I could get it to run was to copy to Safari back to the desktop then drag the icon out of the app. folder and into trash. Any ideas on what is going on here and how to fix?
    Thanks !

    HI,
    The Safari icon your Desktop is just an alias which means it just "points" to the Safari application. You don't need to move that icon to the Dock or the Application folder. It's just an alias, you can drag it to the Trash.
    Your best bet at this point is to back up you all your important data (just in case) and perform an Archive and Install from your install disc.
    About v10.5 Archive and Install Options
    Please take a moment to click My Settings on the right side of this window and tell us which Mac model you use and which Mac OS X version you have installed. That will help now and in case you need help here in the future. Thanks!

  • Why can't I place disk icons on my desktop?

    Why can't I place disk icons on my desktop?
    I installed OSX Lion, version 10.7.1 from the App Store onto the internal disk of my MacBookPro which was cloned to an external FW800 GoFlexDesk drive. I booted from that external drive, ran the disk utility to erase and then repartition my internal drive so that I would have a "clean" installation of Lion. My disk icon (for the internal drive) does not even show in Finder windows. In Snow Leopard I showed my internal drive, my Time Capsule drives, and any external drives on my desktop as icons. Now these do not even show in Finder. I know they are there, because if I choose the path view option, they are shown when I pick "All My Files" under favorites. I can navigate backwards in the path bar, but still they do not actually allow me to select them or drag them to the desktop. In Snow Leopard, it was an option to show disks on desktop in general system preferences, but I find that option no where in Lion! What simple little thing am I missing?

    If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.

    I have lost my Hard Drive icon on my desktop. How do I get it back.

    Quick thing to try: from the Finder, select the View menu and then select "Clean Up" in case it has wandered somewhere almost off the desktop.  Also, if it is "hiding" behind something, it will be revealed.

  • Why have I lost PDF printing capability through the File Print menu?  When will it be fixed?

    Why have I lost PDF printing capability through the File>Print menu?  When will it be fixed?

    What app are you using to view PDF files? Preview can be a poor choice for some PDF files - I recommend using Adobe Reader - http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - perhaps it will solve your printing problem.
