Desktop Icon gone from Dock, How do I get it back?

I accidentally removed my "view desktop" icon from the dock. I can't seem to find where/how I can replace the view desktop icon back into my dock. Please help. Thanks.

If you mean the Dashboard icon. It would be in your Applications folder, just drag it to the Dock. Is this the one you're talking about? Because the Finder icon can't be accidentally removed from the Dock and there is no "Desktop" icon on your Dock.
There is a Desktop on the Sidebar of your Finder window and you could accidentally delete that. If that's the case go to your Home folder and drag it back to the Sidebar. Or go to Finder menu >> Preferences >> Sidebar and check mark it.

Click the Finder icon in the Dock to launch it.
Open the Application folder and find the Launchpad application.
Drag it to the Dock.

IF you accidentally delete the applications icon on your dock, how do you get it back there.

If you accidentally delete the Apllication icon on your dock, how do you add it back there???

You click on the hard disk in the Finder's sidebar and drag it back from there. In recent Mac OS X versions, you can also drag it there directly from the sidebar.

I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?

I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back? I've tried dragging and dropping from the Print window - no luck. I tried to drag from the Systems folder - no luck. IOS 10.9.4

Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.
What happens if you run a print job, control click the printer icon>Options>Keep in Dock

Oh!
First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
Best of luck!

I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

Sorry, should've mentioned some more information. I synced the ipad to the folder of photos. The original photos had file names like "_MG_4865.jpg" and after syncing the folder in Itunes, all files were now found in a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" which was filled with many folders with labels like "F23" etc. (There were ALOT of photos.) In those folders there are several files with names like "T343.ithmb". Not a .jpg to be found and I can't view any of the photos.

Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

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?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't remove the App store app, you must hav moved it to a folder somewhere. Swipe the screen to the right until you get to the search screen then do a search for the app.
