lamfishy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Find the com.apple.dock.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder, drag it to the Desktop, log out/in or restart and let us know what happens.

How can I get my icons back on the dock

I cannot get some of my icons back into the dock.

Is possible? Explains better with a picture:

Finder icon is outside the dock

I don't know what I did, but my finder icon is outside the dock. It's just sitting by the dashboard but outside the dock shaded area.
The thing is, I can't click on, move or do anything with the finder icon. It's just sitting there. What can I do? How do I move the icon back to the dock so I can use Finder again?
Please help! Thanks so much!
Nancy

Restarts apparently will come into vogue on Mac too more and more.
I lost my Network-Connection yesterday. "network cable has been removed" was the message.
A restart solved it.
Furthermore some drivers need a restart by installation.
It's like new Adobe Trial-Software needs to be uninstalled by uninstallers, if you want to reinstall the licensed version.
Otherwise it gives you loads of trouble.

How can I get Applications back to the Dock?

I've stupidly just dragged my applications folder to Trash (I was surprised Mac didn't ask me if I really wanted to). I've tried to find it in Trach but it's not there, but it is down left-hand in Finder. How can I get it back to the Dock?

To get the icon for the hard drive showing on the Desktop, go to Finder's Preferences (in Finder menu) and on the General tab checkmark the item "Hard disks".
To have an icon representing the hard drive appear in the Sidebar in a Finder window, in Finder's Preferences go to the Sidebar tab and checkmark "Hard disks" in the Devices section.
Yet a third way to see the Applications folder itself - open the Applications folder, either via that entry in the Go menu or by clicking it in the Sidebar in a Finder window. Then hold down the Command key and click on the name of the folder (Applications) at the top of its window. A small dropmenu will open; select the hard drive's name from that list.
Another way - go to the View menu and select "Show Path Bar". This will open a narrow area at the bottom of each Finder window; this area will display the path to the folder that's open, including the hard drive. Double-click the mini-icon for the hard drive in that path, and the window should change to display the root-level contents of the hard drive, which includes the Applications folder.

How do I put a track back into the Cloud?

My library contains tracks marked as having been removed from the cloud. I didn't remove them and running Match doesn't help. These are songs purchased from Apple. How do I get them back onto the cloud? Thanks,

Hi,
Go into iTunes library on your computer, select the tracks and then ctrl click and select add to iCloud from pop up.

I have updated iTunes on my computer and my iPod nano 4 is up to date but not all music shows up in my iTunes library..only the purchased songs..what happened and how do I get them back into the library?

The music library in the updated version of iTunes is grossly incomplete although the music still remains on my iPod. Why did this happen and how do I get the music back into the library?

Hi Dalegu219,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of these screens:
Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
From:
iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support

How do I get my widgets icon back on the dock?

Help. All of a sudden my icon for widgets (speedometer) disappeared from the dock. I can still get to it by pressing F12 but I can't find a way to get it back on the dock. Does anyone have a solution?

Ron,
What happens if you enter Dashboard in Spotlight?
If you do not find the Dashboard.app with Spotlight it is most likely gone, but you could get Pacifist and extract Dashboard from your Tiger Installation disk.

How to put two mono tracks into the usual stereo view in Edit view of Audition 3 ?

Hi guys,
Previously I have had no issues simply using Adobe Audition 3 for simple stereo recording and editing of a stereo feed taken from a mixer... well nearly no issues.... :-)
Today, I'm having a bad day or else it's because I'm getting used to being retired.. :-) ......
Query : How do I put two mono tracks into the usual stereo view in Edit view so they both display correctly there?
Put simply I have two mono wav files. Let's call them Left_wav and Right_wav.
I cannot seem to get them imported into a new clean Edit view (Normal stereo track layout) so that Left_wav is on the top half and Right_wav is on the bottom half.
Whenever I try, I just get either Left_wav or Right_wav taking up the whole of the edit view. i.e. it just shows one track.
Can anyone familiar with Audition 3 kindly help? I'd appreciate a simple step by step... I just can't see where I've been going wrong, and it's driving me bananas :-).
Thanks

There are various ways to do this in Audition 3. here's one.
Open both mono files separately in Edit view. Then convert Left_wav to Stereo by going to Edit/Convert Sample Type and under Channels select Stereo with Left Mix at 100% and Right Mix at 0%. This will give you a new stereo file with Left_wav on the top channel. Next go to the Right_wav and copy to the clipboard using Edit/Copy. Return to your new stereo file and enable Edit Right channel only in Edit/Edit Channel/Edit Right Channel. Then make sure that the cursor is at start of the stereo file and Paste Right_wav into the bottom channel of the new stereo file. Finally Save As.

IMovie '11: how to move edited clips back into the event library?

I made a green screen video that is supposed to be the foreground, and edited out the ums and ahs. Now I need to add a green screen background, which apparently I cannot do after already inserting the green screen foreground footage. (I would LOVE to be able to do that, but apparently you cannot.) I have tried to drag the edited videos back into the event library, but they bounce back out, and I have checked all of the menus twice and there is no command to export to event library. Help! I need to insert a background and don't have another hour to re-edit from scratch.

Hi
No - there are no easy and straight forward way to do this - BUT
You must do as one does in iMoivie when there is a need to combine several functions.
Export out (the manipulated clip) as a full quality QuickTime movie (just this part)
Then import this as a new Event
Put this into a new project (if several effects is to be applied) or into Main movie if You only need to apply one more thing as a GreenScreen.
For several effects - one might need to Export/Import several times. Much easier in FinalCut Pro.

How to put imported Toolbar bookmarks into the toolbar instead of a submenu in Bookmarks

I imported my previous Bookmarks but they've all gone into the Bookmarks menu; how do I get the previous Toolbar ones back into the Toolbar instead of just having them in a sub-menu in Bookmarks?

If you import an HTML file then those bookmarks are added at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder.<br />
If you want to have them on the Bookmarks Toolbar then you can move them to the folder with that name via a Cut and Paste action in the sidebar or in the Bookmarks Manager.

How can i get iphoto back n the dock?

Clumsy user new to Mac - how do I get Finder back into the Dock?

While messing around deleting playlists in iTunes it seems I managed to drag Finder off the Dock and onto the Desktop.
The Desktop version is now completely inactive and the only way to access Finder is to close down every other application first, leaving Finder as the default.
How can I restore Finder to the Dock? Is this even possible? Or am I better off setting up a separate shortcut somewhere else in the system?
Thanks!

It might be a good idea to backup your photos/music to CD/DVD just in case.
If you navigate to your computer (double-click hard drive)/System folder (blue X)/Library/CoreServices (blue X)/Finder, you can try dragging the Finder app. to the dock to re-create a shortcut.
How does the Finder (desktop, menu bar, dock etc.) behave in your problem account ?

There is a plenty of similar topics here, so you can use the Search on this forum or in Google to find out.
But shortly, you will need to use JNI or get a ready-to-use library like JNIWrapper (http://www.jniwrapper.com/winpack.jsp#tray), for example, that lets you do what you want.
Good luck,
