Definitely removing TimeMachine and Download folder from Dock?

Is it possible to definitely remove the app Time Machine and the default folders like Download from the dock?
Each time I restart OSX10.5.4, they keep reappearing....

Same thing happened when I first used Leopard. The Documents stack would not go away, even though I poofed it repeatedly. Eventually, it went away & never came back. I was never able to explain this, and nobody answered my post on the subject.

I accidentally trashed download icon from dock --how do I restore it?

Your Home folder is located in the /Users/ folder. Double-click on the disk icon on your Desktop. Double-click on the Home folder. Select the Downloads folder and drag its icon into the Dock on the right side of the Dock's sizing bar (next to the Trash icon.)

Charlie,
Thank you. Much appreciated. I do have an additional question... when I tried to follow your folloiwng guidance..
"One way to go to your home folder is to select "Got to Folder..." in the Finder Go menu and enter a tilde (~), then press return."
I couldn't make it work no matter how I entered it. Maybe I don't understand what you mean by the (~). I'm a novice as you can probably already tell. - Terry

I accidentally removed my download folder from the dock, how do I get it back?

I accidently removed my download folder from my desktop, how do I get it back?

I accidently removed my dowload folder as well. Your tip easily put it back in the dock, but now the folder opens differently. It used to show the most recent downloads at the bottom of a vertical list of icons. Now, a huge folder opens up in seemingly random order. How do I get it to go back to the previous preferences?

Can I remove download folder from desktop without deleting

My Downloads folder has gotten on my desktop and now to remove it I have to put it in the trash and lose all my downloads. Is there something else I can do? It is already on my dock and in finder, but once I put the download folder from the desktop in the trash it removes my downloads from finder and the dock.

Open a Finder window and navigate to your User directory (it will typically have folders including Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures). Click the arrow to the left of Desktop and you should see the Downloads folder that is currently on your desktop. Drag that Downloads folder (or the Downloads folder on your desktop -- they are the same) to the blank space in the Finder window below the other folders -- i.e., below Documents, Movies, etc.)

Glad to have been of help. Placing and replacing items in the Dock is just that simple! Enjoy your Mac.

I accidently deleted or removed download folder from something on homescreen called pages ?

New to using apple n first tie out the box i delete or remove a download folder from favourite list in something called pages. Can i restore this if so how ?

Pages is a simple, but effective, little word processing package along the lines of MS Word. If you go to the Apps Store and sign up there's every chance you'll be able to download it again from there.
When you purchase a new Mac product, it gives you the option to sign up to the iCloud with your chosen user name ie, [email protected]
So in the first instance I would sign in and go to the App Store - search for Pages and you should be able to download it from there. It's a very useful Word Processing page but you'll also see several others there too and you can choose. I don't use Pages but it all depends on whether you have a requirement for a Word Processing package. There are loads of others on the App Store.

Can't open Download or Document folder from Dock

About a week ago, I noticed that if I attempt to open the document folder or download folder (from the option "open in finder" or "xx more in finder") the Apple loops utility will open instead of the appropriate document of download folder.
How do I go about correcting this?

What Barney-15E refers to is running Disk Utility from the installation disc in order to repair your startup volume, i.e. the disk itself. By running it from the installation disc - as opposed from your internal HD - you prevent disk errors which may otherwise appear, see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2711?viewlocale=en_US.
In order to run Disk Utility from the installation disc, follow these steps (also here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417):
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

Disable Download folder from popping up

Hello all
I'd like to know if it is possible to disable the Download folder from popping up every time I start a download?

Not without removing it from the Dock. If you do remove it, it can be accessed from the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon.

Download Folder in Dock not there

I did an Archive and Install of Leopard on my MacBook. I had the Application Folder in the right hand side of the Dock in Tiger but when I installed Leopard the Download folder never appeared. Even when I drag the Download folder from the Finder to the right-hand side of the Dock it appears as a document icon but not as the default Download folder with the arrow. I also clean installed on a G4 Mac Mini and this problem did not occur.

The downloads folder is a stack in the dock. Which means it behaves as a stack -- it will show the "top" icon in the folder (which is the "top" item depends on the sort option... right click (or control-click) on it and choose the sort order you want).
There is no way to get it to use the "original" icon once there's something in there. This is the way stacks currently work.

How do I remove an empty gmail folder from my iPad2?

How do I remove an empty gmail folder from my iPad2?

I Think that you had a corrupt email or an email with a really large attachment in that folder and it is now causing the mail app to crash. When the app closes and goes back to the home screen, that is an app crashing. I would try to delete this folder on the server. Log into your Gmail in a web browser and try to delete it there. If you delete it there, that will delete it on the iPad.

To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect. Deselect the required Audiobooks and Click Sync

I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library "~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". The only option the is to quit. What is

I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option the is to quit. What is wrong?

Hi,
not sure what the problem might be, but you can try the following:
While pressing ALT+CMD on the keyboard, click on the Aperture icon in the dock: Aperture then opens in a special "recovery mode", and you're prompted to choose what kind of repair you need: Repair Permissions / Repair Database / Rebuild Database
Considering the situation, I'd recommend you to try "the "Repair Permissions" option first.
If that isn't enough (and it may well be the case), then go straight for the "Rebuild Database" option; it's a non-destructive opration anyway, but since you've just installed Aperture you shouldn't have anything valuable in the default library...
NOTE: if you do have some pictures in the library, instead, do a backup first! Time Machine is your friend
Another option would be to launch Aperture while keeping only the ALT (option) key pressed: Aperture will ask you what library you want to open, or you can choose to create a new one from scratch.
Good luck!
Corrado
