Dock is disappearing on my mac os x version 10.7.4?

how do i get my dock to apper at bottom of my computer again?

Same problem here.
Mac OS X v.10.7.4
Happened twice while watching fullscreen Youtube videos - Dock suddenly disappeared, wouldn't re-appear with "Go to  > Dock > Turn Hiding Off".
ALSO! - Would only appear when I'd move the Size slider in " > System Preferences > Dock > Size", but as soon as the slider is released - Dock disappeared again.
Only rebooting helped so far.

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.

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.

Adobe Reader files cause the menu bar & dock to disappear.

Some files that I download from the internet & open in Adobe Reader Version 10.0.2 cause the menu bar & dock to disappear. If I click on the desktop below this Adobe Reader window they reappear, but disappear once again when I click on this Adobe Reader window. It is not Full Screen mode but something else. Any suggestions on how to view these files in the normal manner would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've never installed Adobe Reader to one of my Mac's since Apple started providing Preview. I use it on PC's, but that's because it's already installed. The constant security issues and bug issues with Adobe products like Reader and Flash have made me try to just ignore that company as much as possible. On the other hand, some PDF's like forms do not work very well in Preview, but I've been able to get around that.
From what I've read, those command key shortcuts are supposed to be toggles and could continue to show pdf documents in one of the formats until you change the setting in the programs preferences. When changed, the documents should continue to show up in whichever view you have chosen.
I found this chart on one of Adobe's support pages.
The following table shows the full-screen keyboard shortcuts.

              Ctrl + L activates Full Screen.
              Command + L activates Full Screen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Or, you can go to the System Preferences and set the Dock options from there:

How to find and install icon in dock for access to Apple Mac OSX?

Just next to my downloads and document stacks I had an icon Apple Mac OS X icon that when clicked automatically transferred me to Snow Leopard site at Apple. By mistake I removed it from dock but now I can't find this icon to re-install it. I looked in applications folder but not there. Anyone know where I can find it to re-install it in dock?
Thanks

Go to Apple Mac OS X with Safari and drag the icon next to "http" from the address to the right side of the dock.

Where do you usually keep it? It should be in your applications file. Otherwise you will need your iLife disc. All the same quite a lot of problems with ML and IDVD reported of late.

ICal events "just disappear" on my mac, but are visible on MobleMe & iPhone

I have multiple iCal calendars, that are working fine, then just disappear from calendar view. The account is still set up, no errors, just missing. Everything is on MobileMe, my iPhone & iPad, just not my iMac. 2 hrs on the help chat with Apple & they had no idea what was happening & no solution. Anyone else having this problem???

Same problem here for the first time today. One calendar disappeared from my Mac and iPad. It was still there on MobileMe and on the iPhone. I just fiddled around with the visibility of the calendars and they reappeared on the Mac after a while. On the iPad I did the same and it came back too a little later. Actually, I don't know if what I did was of any use and if it would have fixed itself with just a little patience.
But what I do know (since I realized how the new system worked) is that I can't trust it... I'm doing twice weekly backups of all my calendars. I read (in the knowledge base if I remember correctly) that backups must now be done as exports of each calendar and not as an iCal archive. The master data is now all on MobileMe so Time Machine is useless unless you have these export files saved on your Mac. FWIW.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.
