Default Dock icons - deleted by mistake - HELP!

Hello,
I am a complete duffer when it comes to Macs - have just switched from a Windows PC.
I have learnt how to put applicatiin icons on the dock but how do you replace default ones? I deleted the Mac OS icon (next to trash can) but can't see how to get it back. I dragged it off the dock in error only to see a little cloud appear and the icon gone.
Sorry if it is a simple explanation but I am learning - some things are much easier but others leave me wondering if I did the right thing in switching!!
Thanks in advance,
uk lippy
Macbook 13'' 2.16 ghz intel processor Mac OS X (10.4.10)

That icon was a web site icon for Apple's main site page: http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/. Simply go to that page, select the page icon just to the left of the 'http' in the URL and then drag it to the Dock next to the Trash can. Voila! You can do the same with any URL.

Default Dock Icons

How do I change what the default Dock Icons are when a new User adds an account to the Machine?
I'm setting up a lab of about 50 iMac, each computer will be set to authenticate via a remote Server, once logged in for the first time the computer will create a local profile. I want the default dock on each of these new local accounts to include specific Applications on the computer and remove some of the default Apple ones.
I tried com.apple.dock.plist but that only exist after the account is created. I need it to do it as the account is created.

Place the modified com.apple.dock.plist file on the desktop, and then open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Run the following commands:
sudo cp ~/Desktop/com.apple.dock.plist '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist'
sudo chown root '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist'
Each command starts with sudo; the first command will prompt you for your administrator password, which won't appear on the screen while it is being typed.

Update Dock Icon / Delete Dock Icon

I've written a small utility that changes some system settings. The utilities icon is changed to reflect the state of the system settings. I'm going crazy trying to get the dock icon to reflect the updated application icon. Is there a simple way to force the dock to refresh? I've found an applescript to add an icon and it adds a new icon (and the proper icon) but the original is also in the dock. I need a way to delete an icon, I guess. I can't find anything on the inter-webs on how to do this and all my attempts to delete an icon have failed. Can anybody out there help me with this. Thanks...

Unfortunately, I don't know of any simple way to refresh the Dock, although such a way most likely exists.
However, if you don't mind using [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html], the two scripts below should do approximately what you are asking for. Just replace "Stickies" (given here as an example) with the name of any other application. (You must also have enabled the Accessibility Frameworks by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane.)
To remove the icon from the Dock:
*tell application "Stickies" to quit*
*delay 0.5* -- adjust if necessary
*tell application "System Events" to tell UI element "Stickies" of list 1 of process "Dock"*
*if not (exists) then return*
*perform action "AXShowMenu"*
*click menu item "Options" of menu 1*
*click menu item "Remove from Dock" of menu 1 of menu item "Options" of menu 1*
*end tell*
To add the icon to the Dock:
*tell application "Stickies" to launch*
*tell application "System Events" to tell UI element "Stickies" of list 1 of process "Dock"*
*perform action "AXShowMenu"*
*click menu item "Options" of menu 1*
*tell menu item "Keep in Dock" of menu 1 of menu item "Options" of menu 1*
*if not (value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" exists) then*
click
else
*key code 53* -- escape
*end if*
*end tell*
*end tell*
Hope it can help.

System preferences icon deleted by mistake.

Hi to all
i did delete my system preferences icon by mistake.
and now i can not go through the system preferences to set my laptop settings, like the background, network ..... ect.
now, could someone assist me pls
Thank you so much

Are you referring to the actual application in your Applications folder or the icon in the Dock? If the latter simply open your Applications folder, locate the System Preferences application and drag its icon into the Dock. If the former then you have to reinstall it from your OS X Installer DVD:
How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
• Click on the "Go" button .....
• Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned.
20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
• Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes.....
• Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
Stop
Leave original alone
Update ..... Default selection
Replace .... Replace option should only be used on full install packages

Dock icons...need help

Hi, I accidentally moved the Applications icon and Downloads icon to the trash and now they are not on the dock anymore. I cannot figure out how to get them back. I'm completely new to mac, have been a pc user forever. Now ever time I open an application, the icon for that particular app shows up on the dock. If anyone can give me some assistance in fixing this, I'd appreciate it!

Hello again:
Correct. Drag the icons from your home folder to just to the left of the trash can (into the dock). As you may know, items in the dock are just pointers, not the actual program/folder.
Barry
P.S. Forgive me... I get my hackles up when people try to compare a Mac with a Wintel box. I used those in my workaday world for eons and I know what problems are associated with Windows based PCs.

Change dock icon.

Hello ,
How can i change default dock icon of my carbon application to my choice.
Thanks.
Regards,
Sunil Adhayaru.

X11 has a menu named "Applications" in the menu bar. In there is an option to "Customize Menu…".
In the window that appears, you can edit any of the commands just by double-clicking on the name, command, or shortcut.
This will change what appears in the "Applications" menu, both in the menu bar for X11 and in the Dock menu for X11.

How to eliminate default Document, Downloads Dock icons

As I have 5 partitions, that's 10 Dock icons I don't use.
Thanks,
humanengr

Thanks -- that does most of it -- the Document and Downloads icons for all but the startup partition have not reappeared. Is there a way to permanently delete the D&D icons that belong to the startup partition?
Also, can someone please point me to detailed instructions online anywhere on Leopard? Or at least detailed instructions on new features introduced in Leopard?

HT1311 How to download AppStore icon on iPad as it has been deleted by mistake on IPad?

Hello,
How can we download the AppStore icon on IPad as it has been deleted by mistake and we do not know how to retrieve it?
Thanks

It can't be deleted. Either it's been moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder, in which case doing a search for it or resetting the home screen layout (Settings -> General -> Reset) should bring it back, or the option to install apps has been turned off in Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
Regards.

Lost all email gmail deleted by mistake need help thank you

lost all email gmail messages deleted by mistake need help thank you.

Mail 2.x doesn’t store mail in standard mbox format. The only way you might find Mail messages in a “recovered” mbox file is if it was a Mail 1.x file that Mail 2.x left there after the conversion to the new *.emlx format when you upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier to Mac OS X 10.4.
If you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and don’t have a backup, what you should have tried to recover are as many *.emlx files as possible. Data Rescue II may be able to do that, but the documentation doesn’t say so. The only data recovery utility that I know for sure can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage.
That said, you may still try to import those mbox files as Other (not as Mail for Mac OS X), and hope that they don’t contain garbage that causes Mail to crash — you may look at their contents with a text editor first to check whether there are actually any emails there.
Beware, however, that anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted *.emlx files to be overwritten if you don’t try to recover them first.

Deleted Account's mail shows as unread in dock icon

*Short version...* I deleted an account and now my dock icon reads 403 unread messages. Problem is I can't find them to get rid of them.
*Long version...* Got my old computer from last job before they closed the doors permanently. I simply disabled the work email account since then and all the old emails (that were not put into "On My Mac" folders for reference") eventually got deleted since I had the preferences set to delete after a month.
Now I decide to delete the account entirely. I do so, and now the dock icon reads 403 unread messages. I play with the "Dock unread count" preference in Mail. The # disappears when it is set to "None" or "Inbox Only". So, the offending mail must be in some hidden mailbox.
So, in playing around, I recreated the deleted account using as much of the old data I can remember. The original server for the mail is long gone, so no new mail is being checked. It didn't show up the old messages, but when I disable the recreated account, the 403 unread message counter goes away (like it has been the last few months). When I enable it, the # reappears. So, it looks like I partially got control of the old account, but the messages are still hidden somewhere.
Using Mail 3.6 on OS 10.5.7. Any advice?? How can I reset the counter or find the mail?

thanks Golden, that's what I found I needed to do. None of the sidebar indicators (that there were unread messages in that particular folder) were working. But if you opened a subfolder and looked thru, you could find some unread. The funny thing was that these messages appeared only when I enabled or deleted that old account, and they were all over the place (Sent, Deleted, junk, and On-My-Mac folders) and in all of my other accounts (I have 5 others). But all fixed now. thanks.
