How do I get a Download icon into my dock?

I used to be able to see a folder of Downloads in my dock. It isn't there anymore and I want to get it back. I tried to go into Applications and look for a Download icon to drag into the dock, but I didnt see anything called Downloads. Any suggestions?

In Finder open a new window and drag the Downloads item listed on the left of the window to the Dock and place it between the line and the Trash - a space should open up to accommodate it - and drop it there.

How do I get an iCloud icon onto the dock for my MacBook Pro?

I assume the easiest way to access iCloud is by putting an icon onto my MacBook Pro DOCK. Is this correct? And if it is, how do I install the icon onto the Dock?

There is no iCloud application, therefore no iCloud icon. Think of it as a 'service' that is accessible thru other applications, preferences and devices.
If you use the iCloud web site a lot, you could add an icon to the web site.

Just updated to 7.0.1 for Mac Snow Leopard, but the icon in my dock isn't the firefox symbol, it's a "document" icon. How can I get the firefox icon in my dock again?

I was given an auto-update message from Firefox, which asked me to restart the program to initiate the update. As soon as Firefox restarted, I got a weird document icon in my dock - in the place where the Firefox icon was moments before. The new update of Firefox seems to be working just fine, but I would like the Firefox icon in my dock and not this unrelated icon. Can you help, please?

I had this problem. Re-instal Firefox. After you drag the Firefox icon in to the Applications icon it is going to ask you if you're sure that you want to replace the version that's there - say yes. Then go down to your dock and remove the Firefox icon - drag it off the dock so it "poof!s" away. You can now put the icon on your dock again from your newly updated version. If that doesn't fix it drag it off the dock again, probably no need to re-update for the third time. Fixed it for me anyway. GL!

How do I get the music icon to show up on the home page? in the settings icon it shows I have all my songs downloaded.

How do I get the music icon to show up on the home page of the touch? Under the settings icon it shows the songs are downloaded.

- Move the Music app icon to the home page. It is usually easer to do it on the computer than on the iPod itself. The manual says how to move the apps.

- I do not undersand what: "Under the settings icon it shows the songs are downloaded." means.

I lost my download icon from my dock. How do I get it back?

I lost my download icon from my dock. How do I get it back?
Thanks.

It was tricky, because one should click on finder itself, not finder preferences, where the download icon is actually movable. So I was able to move the icon down to the dock.
But now it doesn't have the same view as before. Now it looks like a folder with downloaded files in alphabetical order. Before it was showing the latest downloads in the way the Mac computers only do, the curved way (can't describe it). Anyone knows how to bring that back?

Try rebooting your iPad and see if they reappear.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If they still do not show up, make sure hat you don't have content restrictions set that could prevent certain apps from showing up on your iPad. Settings>General>RestrictionsAllowed Content.
if you still don't see them, connect your iPad to iTunes on your computer and you should see them in the iPad mini screens on the right side of iTunes after the iPad has been selected under "devices" and when you are in the apps pane of iTunes.

HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song. I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Note if you don't have any folders on your Dock, note the trashcan is on one side of the dock with a divider between it and applications. Minimized windows (with the yellow button on the upper left corner) will go between the trash and that divider. You can drag folders into the section between the minimized windows and the trash.

How do you get an app back into Launchpad?

I accidentally deleted iMovie '11 from my launchpad. How do I get it back in there? I have tried deleting the application from my computer and then re-installing it via the app store. When I tried this, the application icon was in launchpad when it was installing but after it had finished installing, it was no longer there. It is not in any other page on Launchpad either - I tried searching for it.

That should restore it to show all apps in your Applications folder.

How do I get my iphoto videos into imovie

how do I get my iphoto video into imovie

1- on iphoto menu bar click FILE >> EXPORT and export it in ORIGINAL version to NEW EVENTS folder in MOVIES >> IMOVIE EVENTS >> NEW EVENTS
2- try to open the video you want with quicktime player.
IF IT OPENS WITH QUICKTIME PLAYER:
- on imovie menu bar click FILE >> IMPORT and then import your movie. iMovie should convert it to a usable format which takes a few seconds and the your video will appear on the new event folder on the imovie screen (below "iphoto videos")
IF IT DOES NOT OPEN WITH QUICKTIME PLAYER:
- download "MPEG streamclip" or "Handbrake" or any program to convert videos into mov. (i think that's the format quicktime player plays). Anyway, if you use MPEG STREAMCLIP, on the menu bar go FILE >> OPEN FILES >> open the file you want (remember it should be in the "new events" folder because you just put it there in step 1). The video will open on the screen.
- still on MPEG streamclip, go on the menu bar and click FILE >> EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. This will convert the video automatically.
- go back to imovie. On the menu bar click FILE >> IMPORT >> MOVIES and select your video from the new event folder.
This is what worked for me... I am no expert, it was all trial and error, but it worked in the end!
