Deleted dockmod and my dock has disappeared HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Ive downloaded dockmod but I didnt like it so I deleted it and restarted my mac and my wallpaper and dock has disappeared HELP!!!!!

Might corrupted dock and desktop preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the Trash.
Do the same for:    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Then restart your Mac.
As you have discovered, third party dock and desktop customization apps can often cause problems.

    Have you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
    As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

  • 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.

  • Desktop screen keeps flashing black and dock has disappeared. iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1

    Recently I updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. All was operating smoothly for a few weeks until one day i started up and logged in my dock was nowhere to be seen. The desktop screen started flashing black replacing my desktop image. None of my desktop icons disappear when this happens. screen keeps flashing black every few seconds. Also the dock has disappeared.
    I have restarted in safe boot and it makes no changes.
    iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1
    Please help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Hi, my iphoto had a transparent ? mark on it and wouldn't open so I dragged it onto the desk top and now it has disappeared... I cannot find it anywhere in my finder, it seems to be gone, please help!

    Hi, my iphoto had a transparent ? mark on it and wouldn't open so I dragged it onto the desk top and now it has disappeared... I cannot find it anywhere in my finder, it seems to be gone, please help!

    You have one and possibly two problems.
    First problem you tried to open the iPhoto library with iTunes and appeared to have set iTunes as the default app for iPhoto Libraries. That isn;t going to work.
    To fix that select the iPhoto library in the Finder and do a File->Get Info. In the middle of the Info window you'll see Open With dropbox. Click on that and select iPhoto, then select the Change All button
    This will get iPhoto back as the default app to open iPhoto Libraries.
    Double click the library now and if nothing else is wrong iPhoto will open the library. If it does do as Michael wrote and go to the Applications folder and drag iPhoto to the dock to remake the shortcut.
    However since you started this thread by saying that the iPhoto shortcut in the dock had a question mark on it it is possible that iPhoto is missing from your Applications folder. If it is post back.
    regards

  • My MacBook Air shows only the desktop, the "dock" has disappeared. This happened before, and a technician said it had to do with the settings. Does anyone out there know how to retrieve the "dock" so it reappears?  thanks,  roger

    My MacBook Air display shows only the desktop background, the dock has disappeared. Does anyone know how to restore the dock to the desktop?  thanks

    The dock can be configured to automatically show and hide when moving the mouse cursor over the current location.  You can try to move the mouse over the dock area to see if it appears.  Hopefully it will, and if you don't want that setting you can then change it to show permanently in the System Preferences > Dock settings.
    If that doesn't work you can change the dock location in the preference settings to align on a different side of the window to see if it appears.  That's all I can suggest at the moment.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. This is not the first time this has happened, and when it happened in the past I just turned on my contacts in the iCloud in "settings." This didn't work this time and I was curious if anyone can help me restore the missing info. and/or tell me why they randomly disappear every now and then.

    It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong.  They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.
    If it continues to happen, you might want to completely sign out of your account, then sign back in.  To do this, you would want to start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.

    Well, actually you can speak to a support professional...but only by following your contractually-required support model. All front-line support for BlackBerry devices starts with the mobile service providers, that original places of purchase, or authorized service centers. It varies by region and issue, but you should have received, at your time of purchase (for both the device as well as your services) instructions as to how to seek formal support. If you did not receive such instructions, then shame on the seller, for it was their responsibility to provide that to you.
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
    If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • Dock has disappeared after reboot

    rebooted imac because it was slow, now the dock has disappeared.
    Re-rebooted, but still no dock. Can't reposition it or anything in dock pref. help

    macbook pro, Mac OSX Leopard:  I had exactly the same problem, and neither of the suggestions above does anything. A power shutdown shuts down of course, but again the spinning wheel and no dock. This first happened after the latest Mac OS X security update installed June 27 I believe.  Immediately after the update the system had this problem; then  worked for a few times;  and now it is back with spinning disk/no dock,  and every time I try to power off and on again it reappears.
