FaceTime Icon Shows as ? on Dock after image restored by Apple Genius

My iMac had its hard drive replaced due to a manufacturer recall and so I did a Time Machine backup to restore my applications and data. The Apple Tech said he did an image of my previous hard drive and I watched him boot the iMac in the store and select Snow Leopard from his drive that had all the iterations of Mac OS X on it. After getting home and restoring from my Time Machine Backup, I notice in the dock that Face Time is now a Question Mark in the dock and has no application program to search for in Spotlight. Is there a way to get the program back without A.) Spending 99 cents in the app store since I already had it with my purchase of the iMac or B.) having to haul this beast back into the store once more?

Hi,
Thanks for your response but the FaceTime App is not in the Applications folder or anywhere else. I'm wondering if the image that the Apple tech put on for 10.6.8 is one of the iterations that does not come with FaceTime so it can be purchased for 99 cents?
Would installing my Snow Leopard OS X disk on top of the current Snow image installed take up a whole new chunk of GB's and restore FaceTime?

I set up iCloud on my iMac with OS version 10.6.8 but I'm not able to have the icon show on my Dock with the other application icons. What do I do?

I set up iCloud on my iMac with OS version 10.6.8 but I'm not able to have the iCloud icon show in my Dock with the other application icons. What can I do? Is it because iCloud is not part of the 10.6.8 version? I clicked System Preferences and I saw MobileMe and no iCloud.

Thanks for your reply! Would my IMac be able to support the Mavericks (10.9) considering that I bought it in June 2011? Not sure if that even matters.

TS1441 why does my ipod keep showing the itunes thing after I restored it three time what should I do please help!

I need help why does my ipod keep saying connect to itunes,I have already restored it 7 times what to do now.HELP ME!

If the restores were successful, that is completed all steps without errors then:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

Can not get home share to work even after a session with Apple genius in store..!!!!

I'm using ipad2, iPhone 4s and iTunes is running on my HP laptop. All three have home share turn on and are signed in as they should. The iPad and iPhone show my iTunes account but there is nothing behind it. I spent ten minutes with the Apple genius in store and he checked all the settings were correct, which they were. My two apple devices are finding the account ok as the library name appears in the shared file.
I have followed a link the genius sent me to fully uninstall iTunes and then re-install the latest version from scratch. This has made no change at all apart from taking me three hours to back up my account incase it was whipped.
I'm out of ideas, can anyone suggest we're I'm going wrong..???

I received a complaint that my last post was not so clear and I have updated this post here.
I have now configured Thunderbird and after help with setting up by my provider Yahoo/ Xtra. Thank you for your telephone help of 3 hours from Philippines today Yahoo/ Xtra. It all works fine now with Thunderbird.
I now receive and can send E-mails from and for all 10 sub accounts.Today I received an Apple survey message to valuate my experiences.The case number that was given and is not solved at all is
136901000 The very good Apple technicians name is SHIVARAM.It is not his fault that the issue could not be solved.A shame the Apple survey indicated there would not be any follow up of the issue.!!! I just had to phone again!!!
It shows the arrogance that has entered the Apple organization.
Imagine how many people are loosing time with this issue in my case about 2 days!!! Just after installation of a product they call Snow Leopard I payed 59 $ for !!! It should actually have been called Slow Leopard ! only one letter different.!!! Just as my computer only one program failing!!!
Apple version 4.0 E-mail Program.See how they are going to fix this!!!!
So New Zealand needs to talk to India-Phillipines-to get his 59$ purchased program working.!
Ridicules 6 hours now yes it is all for free 0800 numbers .Still.!!! In Europe companies let the clients pay!!

Ipad in recovery mode tells me to plug it into itunes to restore. and error (40) pops up after verifying restore with apple.

My Ipad 2 is in recovery mode it tells me to plug it into itunes to restore.Once I do an error (40) pops up after while verifying restore with apple. I called and they said it was with my norton security so I shut everything off on norton and tried again but it still comes up with the same thing. Is there anyone that could help please!!

Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

Application icon remain in the dock after apps are closed

Hi Mac OS Community!
I have Mac OS 10.8.4. I notice that after I quit apps, their icon seems to stay in the Dock afterwards.
How can I keep the Finder from leaving closed apps icons on the dock?
Thanks!

First of all, note that some applications are not close just by pressing the red button at the top left corner of the application window. If this is the case, press Command and Q keys to close the app, so the application icon should disappear from the Dock.
If this doesn't happen, the app is selected to appear in the Dock, so just drag the application icon off the Dock when it's closed, or right-click it and go to Options, and untick "Keep in Dock" or press "Remove from Dock"

Ipod wont show up in itunes after i restore to factory settings

My ipod does not show up in my itunes list but it shows up in my computer as a drive
it all started when i got my ipod back after getting it fixed ( it was a problem with the battery) well it said that i needed to restore the factory settings so i did then a message came up and said your ipod is now restarting it will come back to your iptunes list after it has restarted.... but it didnt
and now when i plug my ipod in i get a bubble come up that says:
"windows was unable to save all the data for the file F:\iPod_control the data has been lost the error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or netowrk connection please try and save this file elsewhere"
i have done everything i can to try and fix this (5 R's and such) but i have gotten no results
please help quickly as i use my ipod all the time and cant function without it =]

I have a similar issue.
Mine shows in iTunes and in PC. It will also allow me to sync.
But when I do sync, it runs fine for about 10 minutes, then I get an error similar to yours with a directory location. It keeps syncing and will periodically show the errors. Then it will lock up.
I have run chkdsk, awindows utility (chkdsk [driver letter]: /R /F) over the iPod when it has been restored and it found nearly 400mb of bad sectors.
I though this would fix the problem but is has not. When I run chkdsk over it again, it does not find anymore bad sectors (it does however tell me that it has 400mb of bad sectors logged.)
I am banging my head against a wall trying to fix this, or even find out what the issue really is. I assume it is a dodgey hard drive, but I do not want to replace it and still have the problem.

Wiki unavailable after image restore?

Howdy,
OSX Leopard Server on an older Mac Pro - Two Raid1s. First Array ("Boot Disk") has the OS, etc, Second Array has group fileshare data. All of this is backed up to an external WD drive via "SuperDuper". Anyway, BOTH drives on the "Boot Disk" array went down, so I replaced them, rebuilt the RAID, and copied back the image that "SD" had created. Everything (DNS, DHCP, Web, FileMakerPro) are working fine, but then there's the WIKI...
No groups set up in the Wiki, so I set up the group that had been there before, and while that group has rights to create, there doesn't seem to be a way to import the original wiki data (I've changed where the collaboration directory is, etc). I've also checked the ownership of /wikid, etc, and all that seems fine.
Just short of rebuilding the box and trying again, has anyone experienced this?
TYIA!

HD not showing up at all after attempted restore. please help!

hi there,
i really hope someone is able to help me as this is driving me mad! last night my macbook pro (2009) started acting up, internet kept crashing etc. so i restarted and thats when it happened, it was stuck on the apple loading screen so i waited and waited and still nothing. shut the laptop down and booted into recovery to see what was going on, all seemed fine. i tried to reinstall lion which was clocked at 123 hours so i quit that and went straight to restore from an old backup, it got about 3% in and said it couldnt complete the action. so i went into DU to completley reformat the intenal HD and in the hardware bar it only has the HD with no partitions, i tried to make a paritition (mac os journaled) to resolve the issue but now im in this perpetual loop of attempting to make a partition but keep getting the error: Volume erase failed with the error: file system formatter failed.
(this is where i began pulling my hair out)
so back to DU if i delete all the partions from my main HD that works fine, adding new partitions with the format as FAT work fine in actually creating a mounted disk, when ever i try to make a mac os extended (journaled) partition with GUID partition table it just makes this half finished disk thats alway greyed out on the left.
so now when i attempt to reinstall ANYTHING theres no HD to install it on.
please and thankyou in advance for your help.

The drive has failed. Replace it and then restore from your TM backup. But since it is a 2009 model they are known to have problems with the cable that goes from the drive to the logic board. The drive might be fine and the cable failed. Only way to tell is to remove the internal drive from the system and connect it with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can then restore from TM to that drive. If you can the drive is fine and the cable has failed. If you can't then the drive is bad.

HT4437 Dowloaded Itunes 11. While airplay icon shows up with my three available devices (computer, Apple tv and airport express), I get an unknown error -15006 occurred while connecting to AirPlay device Apple TV (or airport express device I named Stere

I have third party Airfoil. When I select Itunes as source, all three sources are available and connected and working. I tried the basics (reseting/restarting everything) but I still get this error message. It all work fine with earlier versions of Itunes 10. Any thoughts?

No more need for an answer... the problem has been solved!

After system restore, no Apple applications will load

I have a Mac Mini (on Snow Leopard) that I recently needeed to restore using Time Machine. I wiped the hard drive and restored everything from a good backup. The machine boots up fine (10.6.8), but when I try to run any of the Apple applications (System Update, App Store, Mail, iTunes, iWork and iLife apps, etc.), the icon bounces for a bit, and then nothing. No application starts. Other apps do seem to work (Chrome, Firefox, Boxee,.. )
I've run the Other Installations from the Snow Leopard disk to reinstall the Applications, but still the same results. I reran the iLife installation and still nothing.
What do I need to do to get the Apple applications to work?

Seems to me your TimeMachine drive is messed up somehow. Disconnect it
Copy your users file folders (Music, Docs etc, not Library) to a regualr external drive, export any bookmarks, product license keys or any data (program names) you require to rebuild the machine from scratch with. Write down your User name, case sensitive. Disconnect.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 installer disk, use Disk Utilities under the Installer menu to Erase > Security Option > Zero All Data the ENTIRE boot drive, it's on the far left with the drive makers name and size.
Let this complete, it's going to take some time to finish and really scrubs the drive, makes sure all the bits are working.
Next install 10.6 and reboot, setup with the same name as before and use Sofware Update to get the machine on 10.6.8
Next, install your programs from original sources, (like from the 10.6 disk) as many as you possibly can, they will run faster if they are installed before your huge files. This is also you get a nice clean copy free of issues.
Last, hook up your external drive (not TimeMachine) and return the contents of Music to Musc, Doc's to Doc's and so on into the same named user account folders.
If you keep your boot drive below 50% filled, it will operate very fast forever, just don't move it while it's running. The Zero Erase hopefully fixed any bad or damaged sectors on the boot drive that might be the reason for your problem, or it might not have been, I don't know.
Once you have a yourself a nice and clean fresh install, take this moment to erase the external drive (no data) and use Carbon Copy Cloner (free) to clone your internal boot drive to the external drive.
You can hold the option key and boot from this drive at anytime, setup CCC to auto-update the clone as a backup.
You can access the files on the clone drive too, just like any other drive.
Far as TimeMachine, you can still use that, do the same Zero Erase on it and set it up again.
Reducing bad sectors effect on hard drives
What I suspect happened is something corrupted your data on the TM drive and thus when you restored it was corrupted. Bad sectors on hard drives can do this.
Good Luck

Missing icons on dock after re-load

I am missing my dictonary and dashboard icons after I reloaded the system from my time capsule. Neither of the icons show up in my applications folder. Any ideas?

that's quite strange. enter Time Machine and browse your backups of the Applications folder. are they present in any backups? if not you'll need to reinstall them from the snow leopard install DVD using Pacifist
http://www.charlessoft.com/
when done with that reinstall 10.6.2 combo update to bring both apps to their current versions.
and once you have them in /Applications just drag them to the dock from there.

OSX Lion Server app hangs; dock icon shows incrementing counter

I'm running OSX Lion (10.7.3) on a MacMini.
since yesterday, the following concistenly happens: when I start the server app, it says "connecting to the server" next to the spinning wheel at the bottom right corner of the app window. After a few seconds, the app's dock icon shows a red counter (akin to the "unread counter" of the mail app) which is continuously being incrememted, and the (in)famous colored spinning wheel comes up as well: the server app hangs, and shows up as "Not Responding" in the Activity Monitor.
I've checked the System Diagnostic Reports on the Console window, and it reports the Server app as hanging, followed by a few thousand lines of messages ...
Does anybody know what goes wrong, or better, how to resolve this problem??

I have the exact same issue. I can see from Console.app, that
opendirectoryd: got error 1100
Can somebody please help?
