HT1338 I've "lost" my programs folder! How do I get it back?

I've "lost" my programs folder! How do I get it back? It was there at the bottom of the screen on the left hand side of the "dock" when I last closed down. The next time I turn on the computer it has "disappeared". Where did it go?

I see that you have just lost it from the Dock, not from Mac OS X. To recover it, open a Finder window and drag Applications from the Finder sidebar to the right part of the Dock, so it will appear there. If, after restarting, it disappears again, you may consider a problem with your Dock settings file

    Do you have your 10.6 Install Disc, if so reinstall, if not...
    Try re-installing the big 10.6.8 Combo...

    Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    Generally speaking, your bookmarks are private to your computer, and if you set up multiple Firefox profiles on your computer, to the one profile.
    Your bookmarks might be available to you at another location if you used the Sync service. In order to connect a new computer to the Sync service when you aren't near your old computer, you need a recovery key. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-bookmarks-tabs-and-more-your-other-computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
    If you didn't use Sync or can't access your account, someone with access to your old computer could email you your bookmarks. Since there is a range of different ways to do that and the best choice might depend on what you can expect the person you ask to be able to do... could they start up Firefox in your profile and follow menu steps to export a file? Could they drill down into a hidden folder on the system, zip a file, and mail that to you? Etc.

  • I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

    I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

    This was the scenario:
    The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
    When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
    When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
    Now I got back everything except for my photos.
    (Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
    Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
    Thank you.

  • I had quicktime pro, I upgraded to snow leapoard and installed iLife and lost quicktime pro. How do I get it back.  I tried re installing quicktime but it will not let me??

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

  • HT201272 iv recently restored my iphone 4 and i lost all my music how do i get them back without paying for them again

    ive recentley restored my iphone abd lost all my music how can i get them back without paying for them again

    Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
    If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music.

    You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
    You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

  • By accident i hid my sms folder, how to i get it back?

    By accident i hid my sms folder, how to i get it back? I really need to know how, thanks.

    Hello evan95 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    On your main home screen, hit your Menu key and look for "Show All". The SMS icon will appear grayed out in the background. Highlight it, hit the Menu key and remove the check mark by Hide. It should then turn dark and now be visible.
    Take a look at KB01914 for more information.

    I updated to IOS 5.0 and lost my caleder. How do I get it back?

    I going to assume you use a mac,
    connect to your computer,
    open itunes,
    go to the iphone page,
    info tab
    untick sync calendars, sync the iphone,
    then tick the sync calendars again,
    sync,
    that should restore it.

    Hi All,
    I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?
    Thanks

    All of  your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
    If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

    No.  Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
    Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.
