Getting Applications folder to show "properly" on the dock

I upgraded two machines to Lion and the Applications folder shows up on the Dock as it was under Snow Leopard.
Today my new MBA arrived and if I try to put the Applications folder on the dock the first Application shows as the icon. I can't find a way for it to use the "blue folder" I know they want us to use Launch Pad but.......

Sorry but that is what I did. You have to put it below the dots where open files go but it does not give you a folder it gives an icon that looks like your first icon in the Applications folder which happens to be the address book. It isn't exactly the same because the address book looks like it is part of a big stack of other icons.

I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.

Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it. Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer. Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

How do I get shared computers to show up in the sidebar in Leopard?

Still trying to come to terms with Leopard's way of doing things, and can't get shared computers to show up in the sidebar. I've never shared computers before, so need very basic instructions on how to do this. I thought I had set up for other specific computers to share, but nothing happens. Do they need to be using Leopard too?
Thanks for any help.

All of the things that folks seem to be having problems with are broadcast or multicast based. If you're not seeing things, chances are really good it's because you're not seeing the broadcasts / multicast packets. Why? Donno... shouldn't be any different than Tiger and "works fine for me".
Here is how you see what multicasts are going on the wire (broadcast are just another type of multicast):
sudo tcpdump -nvvXi en1 -s 1500 multicast
When you do this, if it's the first time you've run sudo, it will give you a warning and ask for your password since this is a privileged command. The next time, it will only prompt you for a password (unless you ran it recently and your password is cached).
There are a few different types of broadcasts that you'll want to be looking for. Note: These are only examples of each type - there are multiple sub-types of these to advertise other details. I'm only giving generic descriptions of each - the packet data in yours will be different, but a similar format.

You'll see here my wife's macbook advertising its services. This data gets collected and put in the mDNSResponder cache for when you need it. It is also used to make stuff show up on your finder.

If you're not seeing these packets, you're not going to see anything in your finder.
Why would you not see them?
1) Your firewall is blocking them from going out from the system that is sharing data
2) Your firewall is blocking them from coming in from the system that is looking for the data
3) The necessary services are not started on either system
4) Your network does not properly forward multicast and broadcasts between hosts
I've posted a number of threads on how to figure out each of the above situations. An easy thing to check is to do a 'netstat -anp udp' and see if there is a *.XXX where XXX is the port number listed in each of the descriptions. If there is, your system is listening for the packets and I'd check the firewall. If there is not, your system isn't setup right to listen for them (double check your file sharing settings and options).

The signature should show up with each account. Usually the complaint is not having an option for multiple signatures or not being able to have a different signature for each account.

In Safari 7.0.3, how do I get website ICONS to show up in the bookmark favorites toolbar?

RE: Bookmarks/Website Icons in Favorites Bar
In Safari 7.0.3, does anyone know how to get website ICONS to show up in the bookmark favorites toolbar?
Blue dots with the website name in text show up in the favorites bar.
The website icons do show up in the bookmarks sidebar.
Thanks!

Nope, they don't - and we are up to version 7.1 now. I have done a good bit of searching on this subject, and it is a frequently asked question. I don't understand why Apple don't implement it. It is the only reason I am currently using Chrome instead of Safari. I have too many bookmarks on my toolbar for them all to have names, using the icons allows me to pack them in tight and have instant access to lots of sites I use frequently.

TS2972 I can get my music, movies and tv shows to play through my apple tv, but I cannot see my photo stream on my apple tv. What can I do to get my photos to show up on the TV?

I can get my music, movies and tv shows to play through my apple tv, but I cannot see my photo stream on my apple tv. What can I do to get my photos to show up on the TV?
I have a mac and wireless internet.

Because you've got music and movies streaming to your Apple TV, I know you've authorized Home Sharing under the file menu of iTunes. But under that same iTunes file menu you must also go to the "Home Sharing" pull-down and select "Choose Photos to Share With Apple TV". You can select All photos, or just specific albums. Maybe worth saying again that this is done from iTunes and not iPhoto.
If you've already done this and still no photos on AppleTV, check to see that your photo file names (previously imported into iPhoto) have valid suffixes (such as photo.jpg). Without that valid suffix, iPhoto on your Mac will show the photo just fine (courtesy of the hidden Type Code embedded in the photo file), but AppleTV will not.
Good luck and let me know if either of these worked.

Why do Java web applets show up in the Dock sometimes?

I use web-based gradebook (Infinite Campus). At times since upgrading to Lion, when I load this Java applet through Safari and begin to interact with it, it pops up as a Dock icon. This never used to happen under Snow Leopard. I can't tell if it's something different with the applet or with Lion/Safari 5.1, but I'm assuming the latter. Can anyone shed any light on this? Why would a Java applet show up in the Dock as its own icon while runnign within Safari rather than just running "faceless" within the Safari window? Is there any way to change this behavior on my end? I've poked around in the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences app, but I haven't found anything relevant. I've tried re-installing the Lion Java runtime, 10.7.2 Combo Updater, and Safari 5.11, to no effect.

My i tunes does not have a ringtones option on the menu bar or under preferences. How do I get this folder to show up?

I am trying to use a short mp3 file as a ringtone. So far every website has told me that all I have to do is drag the file into the "ringtones" folder that is located in the menu bar on the left side of I-tunes. I don't have this folder. Again, every website tells me to simply go to "Edit" and then "Preferences" and to click on the ringtones box and then the folder will magically appear. My itunes is the latest 10.5 version but somehow I don't have this option. What is wrong with my i tunes?

Yep... strange move on Apple's part.
The quick solution would be to get hold of a Concert from MS 2 with the right layout etc, and then open it in your MS3.
Slower would be to make your own layout using Grouped Controls for the pedal layout you'd like, then assign to incoming MIDI as needed (Switches etc), then map to the effects controls in Edit mode.
You'll need to be careful how you setup the Screen Control backgrounds.
