Somehow my application icon in the dock has disappeared and I have no idea where it went or how to get it back. I am not all that computer knowledgeable. Thanks for your help.

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.

Illustrator cs4 application icon disappeared...

Hello,
Recently the illustrator application icon has dissapeared on me...
I'm running win7 64bit.
I've found several threads discussing this problem in Vista with cs2 and cs3, but no solutions...
Has this problem been solved?
If so, how do I get that icon back?
thnx,
S

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for the response!
Removing and re-adding the link to the taskbar doesn't solve the problem unfortunately...
I don't think it has anything to do with the taskbar, because the icon is also gone (i.e. replaced by an "unknown item" icon) in windows explorer.
There is a .ico file (AI_Application_Icon.ico) in the support files\contents\windows folder that does display the icon, but the illustrator.exe file does not.
Also changing illustrator.exe icon to this .ico file has no effect.
I'm also running illustrator as an administrator with full rights (tried every other way of running it, to no avail...).
What's more, all my other cs4 applications don't have this problem...
I use illustrator all the time, so don't think non usage is the reason either.
I'm at a loss :'(

How do you remove an unwanted Steam icon from Launchpad?

I found an answer to this question online after some extensive searching. The answer isn't on the Support Forums, so I thought I'd post a link to the page (to credit the author) and copy / paste the wording below.
You don't have to download any dirty third party apps to do this...thanks to Joe!
FORCE REMOVING ICOMS FROM LAUNCHPAD
http://joegardiner.co.uk/removing-icons-from-launchpad/
The standard method for removing app icons from the Lion Launchpad is to hold the left mouse button [or old the Option / Alt key] over the app icon, wait for the cross to appear in the corner of the app icon, and then click it!
In some cases however app icons can become orphaned, for example if you use on Steam on Mac, deleting local content to uninstall a game will not remove the game icon from Launchpad. This leaves you with an unusable orphaned icon that seems invincible and does not appear in the Application folder along with the rest of your apps.
The solution is as follows…
1. Open Launchpad, find the offending icon(s) and drag them to your normal dock.
2. Right click on the icon that you dragged to your dock and choose ‘Show in Finder’.
3. Now drag the icon(s) from the Finder windows that opens up into the Trash.
4. Finally right click on the dock item(s) that you dragged originally and choose ‘Remove from dock’.
Voila, the icons have disappeared from Launchpad and the annoying orphaned icons that seemed invincible have been thwarted.

Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
If it were me, I would try this "fix".

Apps to Install and Uninstall Icons from Launchpad

I have found an application by a third party that installs in the System Preference file that allows you to Add or Delete any Icon from Launchpad with just a click.
I have installed the program and it works very good - no problems.
I also run NORTON Internet Security 5 for MAC and the program went though the filters and checks with NO problems.
Below is the link that takes you to the developer and download sight by a developer named Chaosspace.de
http://chaosspace.de/launchpad-control/
Good luck and I hope this help everyone, this problem is very frustrating!

Why? In general this type of setup is handled by using standard Windows authentication. Normal users cannot install/uninstall programs. The problem solves itself. You cannot technically prevent an admin from removing a program.
It simply isn't possible. As an admin I can remove the folder containing your program and it is effectively uninstalled. I can manually remove any registry entries you create and it is uninstalled. I can basically manually uninstall anything
that you install as an admin.

Blurry/Pixelated Icon on Launchpad - How to Fix?

I, recently, upgraded my Evernote application to the newest version (5.0.0) and, then, noticed that the application icon was pixelated in, both, the Dock and the Launchpad. I did a "get info" on the application and the preview showed the same, low-res, icon.
I reinstalled the application. No change. I rebooted my computer. Now, the dock icon looks fine. The preview in "get info" is, also, crystal clear. I looked at the application switcher (command-tab) with the application open. Again, nice looking high-res icon.
The Launchpad, however, is still showing the ugly, pixelated icon.
The only other fix I tried was resetting the PRAM (command-option-P-R). Still, the Launchpad icon looks ugly.
What else can I try? The high-res icon is, obviously, there in the app, but it's refusing to display properly on the Launchpad.
My MacBook specs are below. Thanks.

I managed to fix it. I deleted the icon from Launchpad using command-option-control and clicking the "X" on the icon. I dragged the application back into Launchpad. The icon is, now, displaying at the correct resolution.

Application icons have been deleted, but applications are still installed on phone

Hello~
The majority of my application icons have disappeared from my BB's main home screen, and I can't seem to access the applications themselves, even though they are still apparently installed on the phone. I can't dial any number on my home screen, so if I haven't got a number that I need to dial, im either screwed or have to go into messages, write a new message of the number and then say that I want to call it....long!
I turned my phone on silent last night and haven't been able to turn it onto loud as the little volume icon at the top (and from the main screen) has also gone, so I don't know if anyone is calling or not until I check my phone later! My camera doesn't even work when I press the button at the side...it's such a nightmare
The phone froze today while I was at an event so I left it to see what it would do and it remained frozen, so I did a battery pull and it seemed to be fine but then it froze again not long after so I turned it off and turned it back on again and this took me to a white screen, and then a red screen with the vodafone (my network provider) logo in the middle. The phone then turned itself off by itself, so I turned it back on, and again, the red screen. If I want to get my main screen showing properly, I have to hold down the power button until it sayd "phone shutting down, press any key to abort" and I have to press any button, then do this a couple of times and then the phone decides to show me the main screen... I spoke to my network provider and they said I should send it off...I probably will, but want to know if anyone else has had the same or a similar problem?
Sorry for the essay of a message!

Lo-res, jaggy icons in Launchpad

A couple of days ago, I noticed one of the icons in Launchpad had gone lo-res and jaggy. I didn't think much of it until this issue started spreading to more and more of the icons - Apple and non-Apple applications.
Any ideas? Clear a database somewhere and rebuild?

Nobody any ideas on this?
Where does Lion get the icon info from? Is it in a databse that can be rebuilt?

Why are application icons on launch pad in duplicate form (2 of each)?

When I open up LaunchPad, a lot of the application icons appear in duplicate form (2 of each): Address Book, App Store, Calculator, iCal, iChat, iDVD, etc. What is causing this?

See this article:

Maybe it's aliases?
