How do I restore my home icon in Finder?

Hi,
I am new to a Mac and was trying to follow guidelines to drag my Home icon in Finder to my Dock for easy access. But a kind of cloud thing appeared and now the Home icon has disappeared - it's not in Finder or in my Dock. I don't appear to have lost any documents though?
Advice would be appreciated - thanks!

    You can restore the iPod icon by doing a "reset home screen layout" on the Iphone. Go to Settings ->General -> Reset -> Reset Home Screen Layout. It will come back

    It's doubtful that you deleted it, possible, but likely just hid it or moved it into a folder.
    1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.

  • How do i get the home icon back, facebook aswell?

    i got rid of the home icon and want to get the facebook icon too. also i have downloaded various things but how do i enable them to work, thanks

    Try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place. I am not sure what you mean by "Facebook Icon."
    See [[Downloads window]]
    and [[Unable to download or save files]]

  • How do you restore the settings icon?

    How do I retrieve the settings icon on a 5c phone?

    Try a search to see if you can find it. It is a native iOS app and cannot be deleted. If it does not show in a folder, or in the search, then try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. See if you can locate it then. If not, then you will have to perform a restore, since the other software reset commands are in the Settings app.

    Sorry that app can't be deleted, because it is a built in app.
    Check your other home screens or app folders.
    last resort - settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout.

  • How do I restore my contacts icon? It's missing.

    Missing my contacts icon. All the contacts are there. How do I restore the icon? I've tried resetting homescreen in settings.

    You can't delete it.  Look on all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so. (You may want to take some screenshots first so you can recreate your app layout).

  • How do i add a home icon so that when i am finished with a site, ican cab click it rather than closing firefox and reopening?

    just got a new pc with windows 7. previously, when i was finished with a site, i could click on a home icon on the startup page and it would enable me to browse another...now it's missing along with the back arrow icon. please advise
    thanks!

    You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
    You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the position at the left of the location bar if you want that button in the old position.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
    *"View > Toolbars"
    Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
    *View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
    If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar.<br />
    If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
    You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file if the above didn't help
