Dashboard icon on dock

hey all I was hoping someone could help me. the dashboard icon is gone off of my dock. I can't seem to figure out how to get it back on there because the dock is inactive anytime dashboard is opened. can anyone help, please!

You can go to the Applications folder (in your boot hard disk partition) and find the Dashboard icon.
Then drag-and-drop it to your Dock and you will be OK.

  • Dashboard icon on Dock disappeared

    I accidentally deleted my Dashboard icon from the dock and can't figure out how to get it back. I tried finding it in Finder, but I can't find it in Applications (maybe I'm not looking in the right place).
    I can still get to the Dashboard with mouse clicks, but would like the icon back as well.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Go to: "Apple / System Preferences / Accounts" are you logged into your Admin. account or other?

  • How to place a Dashboard icon on Dock on my MBPRD

    F4 is no longer a link to Dashboard.  I would like to add an icon to the dock to take me to Dashboard.  I would prefer this to using Spotlight.  How?

    Is there a way to restore the F4 key (without using the fn key) to Dashboard?

  • The dashboard icon disappeared from my dock and is not in my applications folder. I know it's there somewhere. How can I restore it or reinstall it?

    The dashboard Icon has disappeared from my dock and is not in my applications folder. I know it's there somewhere. How can I restore or reinstall it?

    Do you have Time Machine enabled.   If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder.   Then restore.

  • Missing icons on dock after re-load

    I am missing my dictonary and dashboard icons after I reloaded the system from my time capsule. Neither of the icons show up in my applications folder. Any ideas?

    that's quite strange. enter Time Machine and browse your backups of the Applications folder. are they present in any backups? if not you'll need to reinstall them from the snow leopard install DVD using Pacifist
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    when done with that reinstall 10.6.2 combo update to bring both apps to their current versions.
    and once you have them in /Applications just drag them to the dock from there.

  • Why has my dashboard icon changed to the application icon

    my dashboard icon has changed in my applications from a speedometer to paper and pencils and i can t change it back no matter what i try.
    can someone please help me figure this out.

    i think the same thing happened to me. When I first got my laptop (a few months ago) the app folder was a baby blue colored folder on the bottom right corner of my dock. It's still there now, but now I also see the same letter "A" in a circle, like the shape of the safari and speedometer, right next to my smiley face3 finder icon. I went to open the "Finder" and immediately noticed the A in the circle just to the right of it that was never there before!!!

  • That Dashboard icon!  (How can I get it back?)

    That nice black Dashboard icon was dragged off from my Dock and, poof!, it's gone.
    How can I get it back? I don't see it in Applications where I could drag it back to the Dock.
    I can still F12 Dashboard back into existence but I miss that Dashboard icon. Thanks and happy holidaze in advance!

    No...doesn't seem to be there anywhere. Yet I hit F12 and the whole Dashboard comes up, no problem.
    Whatever you do, do NOT drag your Dashboard icon off the Dock (poof!) 'cuz you might not be able to get it back on their. Minor annoyance...major if you are OCD like me. When I sign on into another Account (user) no prob -- it is there, but still not in Applications.
    Mystery continued...thanks.

  • I have lost Safari and Dashboard from my docks.

    Go to Applications, drag the Safari application to the Dock and the icon will reappear...same for Dashboard.

  • Dashboard not in dock

    When I installed Tiger 10.4, I didn't the the dashboard icon automatically placed in the dock. I can use widgets, but I would like the icon in the dock. How do I do that?
    Thanks.

    The Dashboard application should be in your /Applications folder; just drag it to the Dock to add the icon. But you really don't need to do that. You can just hit the F12 key to bring up the Dashboard and dismiss it anytime.

  • Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

    Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Customer Dashboard Icon missing in Siebel

    The Customer Dashboard Icon is missing for some users only, but other users are able to see. There is no difference in Responsibility. How to troubleshoot?

    Do you have multiple Web Servers in your environment? You may want to check the PUBLIC folder on each to make sure everything is intact. Bouncing the World Wide Web Publishing service may also help.

    If you found Safari in the Trash it was probably the Safari.app itself. Icons on the Dock do not go into Trash. They drag off and "Poof".
    That means that the app, itself is on your Desktop. Choose it and Get Info (command-i). Does it say, "Safari.app"? Drag it back into /Applications folder. Then drag your icon off the Dock and create a new one by dragging Safari.app to the Dock. It will create an alias which is all the Dock icons are.
    The question mark means an alias has lost the path to the application. Have your other users drag it off the Dock and drag it from the applications folder to create a new alias on the Dock.

    My Face Time icon in dock does not show how many calls I have missed.  It should show the number similar to the email system(a red number appears on the stamp icon).  How can I rectify this problem?
