Apple - Mac OS X icon

I have this icon named Apple - Mac OS X on my dock. I was just curious about what is its purpose.
Thanks

It's a link to the Apple Website. If you drag the icon next to the web address in a browser to the right side of the dock, it creates the same sort of shortcut.

Where is my "Apple- Mac OS X" icon?

I was organizing my dock. Putting various documents into my Documents folder in my dock and somehow, I don't know how, I dragged my "Apple- Mac OS X" icon out of my dock. This icon is silver with a white "@" symbol. Could someone advise me on how to put it back onto my dock? Thanks!

maddie,
Just drag the favicon (URL) from this link->http://www.apple.com/downloads/ back to the previous location on your Dock.

Want to restore Apple - Mac OS X icon to Dock

I accidentally dragged the Apple - OS X icon off the dock, so it went poof and disappeared. In order to put it back, I assume I just drag something to the dock, but I don't know where to find that item. How do I put it back? This is the thing that looks like an @ on top of a spring, on the right side of the divider. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
All you have to do is go to the website and then highlight the url in the address bar and drag it down to the dock and your link will reappear.
Not sure what page it linked to though - I assume this one:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/
If not, maybe somebody can correct me.

Load http://www.apple.com/macosx/ in your browser and drag the little Apple logo next to the address bar to the right side of the Dock.

How to find and install icon in dock for access to Apple Mac OSX?

Just next to my downloads and document stacks I had an icon Apple Mac OS X icon that when clicked automatically transferred me to Snow Leopard site at Apple. By mistake I removed it from dock but now I can't find this icon to re-install it. I looked in applications folder but not there. Anyone know where I can find it to re-install it in dock?
Thanks

Go to Apple Mac OS X with Safari and drag the icon next to "http" from the address to the right side of the dock.

Apple - Mac OS X Location ?

I trashed the "Apple - Mac OS X" icon that was next to the Trashcan in the Dock.
Now I want it back so that I can get the Leopard Sneak Peek.
Where is it located so that I can get it back in the Dock ?

That icon is a weblink. The one in the Dock just links to Apple's main page.
You can add any web site to the Dock by dragging the icon next to the address from your web browser to the Dock.

If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key. If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable. If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
good luck.

You need to upgrade the OS, go to the Mac App Store to download Mavericks

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

New to Apple/Mac

Hello, I'm new to the Apple/Mac family. I've just acquired a Power Mac G4, 733mgz, 256 ram, 40gb HD with OS X 10.5. Is this going to be a viable alternative to my PC?
I'm running Windows XP on a 1.6ghz with 512ram and an 80gb hd.
I also have questions about the USB ports, should I look into additional USB card? If I want to upgrade the HD, do I have to stick with only Apple products?
How about wireless internet, do I need to install the airport card? Currently I have a small antenna plugged into a USB port on my PC and it accesses my ATT U-Verse gateway. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi angwchris, and a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
I've just acquired a Power Mac G4, 733mgz, 256 ram, 40gb HD with OS X 10.5. Is this going to be a viable alternative to my PC?
It'll be much slower, but it needs way more RAM, to see what'll be best for your exact Mac do this...
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
Then click on More Info>Hardware and report this upto *but not including the Serial#*...

Quite likely, but waiting for your specs.
If I want to upgrade the HD, do I have to stick with only Apple products?
Nope, but do you have the Install Disc(s) for 10.5?
How about wireless internet, do I need to install the airport card?
Waiting for specs, but there are options besides an Airport card.

Ipod touch 4 days old - not being recognised now on apple mac. What is going on?

I am totally disappointed with this Ipod. I had it all set up a few days ago, which we had to do at home ourselves due to requiring our current passwords etc. Today it is not recognised on the Apple Mac and the Apple ID cannot be found - it took too long to find it. The Itunes server is not recognised and for some reason I cannot find new updates for either product. They both appear to be up to date. Waste of my time. I have spent hours trying to find out what is wrong with it, I bought this in Perth at the only Apple Store last Saturday. I have purchased itunes music and this was successfully downloaded to mu ipod a few days ago. Last night I downloaded my CD's to the itunes library and haven't been able to put these onto my Ipod. What is going on????? I though Apple was a fairly straight forward reliable brand of product. Your support page is not helping me at present.

I have contacted Apple support on the above issues and will have to follow it up with them as it is more involved than what I have listed. Our Apple Mac laptop is not downloading the updates for software. The iTunes site does not recognise the "server" (comes up with a message saying this) and apparently this is a known problem. The Mac needs to have a more current iTunes update but as the computer won't install the updates (goes through all the motions from the software update on the apple icon at top right hand corner of page) , I can't use my iPod on the computer to get my CD songs that are downloaded onto the itunes library site (don't know how to get these either) and it doesn't appear to recognise my iPod touch.
I also couldn't log in to the Apple site this morning, but later on at about lunchtime I could! Bizarre. Of course I haven't had any problems logging into this site with my password and ID at all today.
So, lllaass, I am going to try Apple support again via the phone and see what happens....I have a job number to quote them when I call them back. Thanks for your suggestions - I am definitely not an IT whiz, but I do know that my iPOD did work forthe first day or so.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-
