Applications Folder in Dock won't stack

Placed Applications folder in dock but I don't know how to get it to stack. I recall having this function before but I must have done something to make it disappear. I've used control + right click but don't see a stack option.

when you right-click on it in the dock you should see the options to display it either as a folder or a stack. you need to run 10.5.2 or later to see those options which your profile indicates you have.

  • HT2513 I have an iCal calendar downloaded and I can't find it in any calendar listings. I've read the above article, but I can't even find my iCal window (don't know where my applications folder or dock is and a search of the iPhone turns up nothing)...

    I can't find my iCal window to try to get rid of this iCal calendar I downloaded, but want to delete. I can't seem to find the applications folder or dock that I've heard the iCal window is in. A search of the iPhone won't turn either up. Can someone please help?

    have you tried rebooting your computer?

  • I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

    I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
    At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
    You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
    In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.

  • Deleted applications folder in dock - how do I get it back??

    Hello
    The applications stack in my dock has disappeared, can you help me get it back? If i drag in an alias of the applications folder it opens in finder, but i want to have it like the default.
    thanks all

    If you put your Applications folder, not an alias, in the Dock (on the right part of the dock, you should get a stack of the applications popping up when you click on it. If you dropped an alias, this is no good, it will open Applications folder.

  • Applications folder in dock doesn't have the "A" on the folder.  How to fix

    I dragged my applications folder to the dock but it does not have the "A" on the folder. Just a generic blue folder.
    How do I correct this?
    Thanks for the help.
    Cheers
    mrjazz

    mrJazz:
    This is a "feature", Apple has decided that they don't want you to see the folder icon of a folder that you put on the dock. But that they want you to see an ugly mash up of icons that are in that folder.

    that page has some insight into making this a little bit better

  • Missing Scroll Bar from Applications Folder in Dock

    When I click the Applications Folder from the Dock in the Grid format, the scrollbar is missing. The only way to "scroll down," to other apps is by pressing the up/down arrow keys, in which the vertical bar briefly pops up but then disappears (no arrows pop up). I can view the Applications Folder as normal in Finder, but I prefer to just be able to click and scroll from the Dock.
    I've tried switching from Fan to List to Grid to Automatic, etc. Whenever I return to Grid, there's still no scrollbar.
    No scroll bar visible...
    Vertical scroll bar shows up when I use the Up/Down arrows on keyboard, but then disappears again; no arrows visible.

    From your system preferences under general, you can select if you want scrollbar to only show when actively scrolling, always, or based on mouse or trackpad.

  • I can't drag Firefox icon from Applications folder to dock--what am I doing wrong?

    Trying to update Firefox. Followed easy-sounding directions on Firefox site (download, copy to Applications folder, drag icon to dock). BUT...I can't get the Firefox icon to "stick"in the doc. Hasn't updated Firefox.

    Firefox 3.0 versions and later require at least Mac OS X 10.4
    *http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html - Mozilla Firefox 3.6 System Requirements
    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last release that runs on Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3

  • Application folder in Dock

    First, I apologise if this has been asked before - there just were too many pages to search!
    I accidentally deleted Applications from my Dock. How do I put it back?

    To add to Matthew's point, when you open the Finder window, you'll see two panels. Shortcuts on the left in the sidebar, and (if you open the Finder from the Dock) your Home folder contents on the right. You will see an Applications shortcut on the left, but don't try to drag that to the Dock - since it's a sidebar shortcut, that will just remove it from the sidebar.
    Click on the name of your hard drive (Macintosh HD, unless you renamed it) on the top left of the sidebar, then you'll see your drive contents on the right, which include the Applications folder. Drag that folder to the right side of the Dock.
    best,
    Matt

  • Applications Folder in Dock

    On my new iMac I can access all Applications from the Dock. There is no folder in the Dock of my MacBook. How can I create an Applications Folder in the Dock?
    thanks.

    Click on the hard drive in the Finder's sidebar and drag the Applications item inside to the Dock.
    If you drag the folder from the sidebar to the Dock directly, it will vanish instead.

  • Applications folder on dock has red FR or R icon after dragging from Mac HD

    In Snow Loopard, 10.6.8 Mac Mini 500GB HD
    I somehow dragged my applications folder off the dock.  Now I have tried to drag/drop it several times, but each time it does not open.  It says "open in finder".
    Then I found a thread that said drag it from Mac HD window in finder and it worked, but now it looks like a red folder with FR or R letter on it?
    What can I do to restore applications folder properly?

    Great news, good work & thanks!

  • Yosemite: empty Applications folder and Dock crashes after right-click

    I upgraded my mid-2010 Macbook Pro to Yosemite, and am observing two problems: 1) my Applications folder is empty, except for the "Windows 7 Applications" subfolder related to Parallels; and 2) if I right-click on a Dock icon, the dock effectively crashes.  When I view the Activity Monitor, Dock is consuming a huge amount of system resources (typically between 100% and 200%) and loginwindow and lsregister aren't far behind (around 60% - 100%). My battery life is awful - I've been using my computer for about 30 minutes and am below 60% after starting with a full charge.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Lawenforcer, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    Test if the Finder/Desktop/Dock works right while in Safe Mode, reboot when complete, test again.
    If it works in Safe Mode but not a regular bootup, then Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Check the Other row in System Preferences.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Applications folder on Dock, how to get it to show all apps?

    Somewhat daft question. I just upgraded last night to a MacBook Pro. On my old PowerBook, I was able to click on the Applications Folder on the bottom right and all apps would show. Now, only about 10 show. How can I get all of them to show? I've been trying to figure it out all night.

    Happens to us all...
