How do I get My Documents folder back on desktop?

When I got the new MBP My Documents folder was at the bottom with rest of programs. Not sure what I did but somehow sent it away. How can I get it back on my desktop instead of having to go into HD every time I want to pull a file? Thanks.

another method to have convenient access to the Documents folder is to drag the folder into the Dock. this will create a shortcut, and all you have to do is click the dock shortcut, and it'll bring you to Documents

Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu and drag it back from there.

How do I get my Documents folder back on the Dock?

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and I've read a string of similar questions/answers. I've tried dragging the documents folder from the sidebar in Finder, but it won't drag to the Dock by Trash. Where else should I look? I've tried to 'control-click' Applications, but the only options available are 'Open', 'get info', rename documents, & 'remove from sidebar'.

Okay, no problem - first, go to the Finder menu here:
click on Preferences, then General, and make sure your hard disks are checked to show on the desktop.
After that, you should see something like this in the upper right corner:
Yours may say Macintosh HD (I renamed mine), but the icon should be there. That is your hard drive icon - that is where everything is.
So, doubleclick or right click on that and make sure you have list view or column view selected, like this and then follow the path I outlined above:

How do you get your Document folder next to your Applications on the dock?

I was deleting a file from my screen, and I accidentally removed my Document Folder so it is off my dock. Now next to the dashed lines to make the dock bigger, I only have my Application folder with the trashcan. I have no idea how my Document folder back on! Please help!

Go into finder, under "Places" click your user account, then click on "Documents" and drag it down next to Applications. The Applications folder and Trash Can should move over to make room for your Documents folder

Updated to Maverick, had a desktop folder for pictures I had transferred from my PC. That folder is gone, no icons in Pictures in Finder but the photos are still in images in All My Files! How do I get the organized folder back?

I had transferred all my photo files from my PC when I got my Mac Air. They were in a desktop folder all nicely organized in files (event, dates, etc.) That desktop folder is now gone after the Maverick update. When I click on Pictures in finder it comes up empty (not even a link to Iphoto) I had not put these pictures in iphoto yet. Before Mavericks when I clicked on Pictures the Iphoto icon and my folder showed up. My Iphoto itself is working fine and and those pictures are still intact. I know the pictures are on my Mac because they are all in Images, but they are no longer organized and are no longer in sequence. I would like to know if I my "intact" folder may still be somewhere on my computer. If not what is the best and most efficient way to get those photos from the images only file to Iphoto?

I actually just noticed the "media" option is no longer listed along the left side of Finder. I think that is where I accessed iphoto and my other picture folder.
There is no media option in the Finder. That only turns up in Open... Dialogues like this:

I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events. How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?

I rebuilt library because many pics were black and now they are in one folder labeled "Recovered"

Do you have the original iPhoto Library (before you rebuilt it)?
If so, I suggest you rebuild it using iPhoto Library Manager, a program you can download. It does a better job of rebuilding. It also leaves your original intact and makes the rebuilt Library a new file (package).
If you don't have the original (say, from a backup), then you should probably first back up the library that you have before trying anything.
After making a backup of it, look along the left side, you will see Events and Photos. Is there anything in either of those areas?
If not, it sounds like all your photos were recovered and put in Recovered during the rebuild. iPhoto Library Manager might do a better job with this. In any case, if there are no photos in Events or in Photos, try selecting ~ 5 photos in Recovered and drag them to Photos. Do they then show up there with the correct dates? Do they also show up in Events after doing that? I am suggesting just a few photos before you try it with 20,000.
If the photos inside your "recovered" area are also in Photos, then don't do the above steps. I'm not sure I can help you if your 20,000 photos are in Photos but not Events. I'd try iPhoto Library Manager instead with its better rebuild.
If the 5 photos experiment works, then I would try it with ~ 200 photos at a time, going through your entire collection. You'll need to do this about 10 times if you really have 20,000 photos. Remember, don't do this if the "recovered" photos are already in "Photos."

How do I add my Applications fold back onto the dock? People say I must drag it near the trash can, but that just puts it past that barrier. I am trying to get it back to where it disappeared from, on the left hand side near the finder icon.

How do I add my Applications fold back onto the dock? People say I must drag it near the trash can, but that just puts it past that barrier. I am trying to get it back to where it disappeared from, on the left hand side near the finder icon. And how / why did it disappear?

With respect, you actually cannot store folders on the left side of the Dock - only on the right side. I wonder if you're talking about Launchpad, which looks like a silver rocket and shows you your installed applications? It's not actually a shortcut to the Applications folder, though. You can certainly drag Launchpad into the left side of the Dock from the Applications folder.

Copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to your new one.

I have authorized a new computer, and itunes is not registering recent purchases. How do I get my entire library back on this new computer without having to re-buy them all?

I have just gotten a new computer which runs windows.
I have authorized this computer with itunes...
But the library and playlists I had on the first computer are not showing up on this one, and when I log into the itunes store, it is not showing any of my recent purchases (like one I bought as soon as last night.)
How do I get these songs/playlists back, or do I have to actually re-buy all these songs?

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

In the new version of Numbers this option is not available. You will have to type the file name into the header yourself. You can post feedback to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"
or use Numbers2.3 which should be in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if you previously had it installed
