HT2500 My mail icon has disappeared completely.  How do I find it?

I had to do a force close on my email program as it had stalled, and the icon disappeared.  Normally, I can go to preferences and look at "recent" and open it from there, but it's missing from that place, too.  What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar and see if Mail is here. If it's here, drag the icon to the Dock and open Mail.
If it's not there, insert the Snow Leopard DVD and reinstall Mac OS X. Then, after reinstalling, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version

    How would you do that if the App that is missing is "SETTINGS"?

  • My camera Icon has disappeared. How do I get it back? - it had not been moved or hidden in a folder.

    Hi,
    I went to take a picture and my camera icon had just disapeared / was not there anymore.
    I thought that maybe it had been moved so I checked all the folders and I even did a home page reset but still can't find it.
    The photo files are still there thank goodness and I need to work out how to back them up / where they are stored when you sync your phone to itunes. That's another question though!
    If someone could please tell me how to get my camera back I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks
    Clotilde

    Hi,
    This usually happens accdently when we surf through the phone's menue trying to figure out more features, and one lands up changing some settings.
    Check Settings > General > Restrictions and make sure restrictions are not enabled for any icon missing from your home screens ie: camera, safari etc.

  • I clicked the full screen choice on the firefox drop down menu and now the firefox icon has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    I used the pull down menu on the firefox icon on the left hand upper corner to create a full a screen. Once the full screen was created the icon disappeared and I cannot go back to regular screen. HELP.

    If you run Firefox in full screen mode then press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle (Mac: command+Shift+F).
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
    *Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    *Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

  • My Launchpad icons have disappeared completely how do I get my applications back in there?

    Hey everyone,

There was ADOBE and the little arrow like to eject and I ejected by accident and automatically all my icons from Launchpad vanished!! PLEASE HELP!! How can I get them back?
    Thanks in advance,

    1. Your Library should be in the Pictures Folder, not the Applications folder. Are you sure that you're not looking at the Application?
    2. If it is in the wring folder, move it to the Pictures folder. That's inly in the case of the Library not the application.
    3.
    Couple of things to try:
    Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
    If that fails:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

  • My magnifier (the magnifying glass icon) has disappeared. How do I restore it?

    I am trying to get rid of a program I accidentally downloaded. The instructions say to click on the magnifier to begin. Well, it was there but now it is gone. How do I get it back?

    Sorry, did not know it wanted money. There are many free mal-ware scans,
    but like that one, some of then want money.
    As to the downloads, I wrote this some time ago;
    It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you
    into installing not only their program, '''but other programs as well'''.
    You have heard of the '''fine print in shady contracts''', right? Well, some
    installers you need to look at the '''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''.
    You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program
    you want by using the '''recommended''' option. But if you use the
    '''Manual Option Instead''', you discover all kinds of stuff that
    '''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''. From now on,
    everyone needs to '''Use The Manual Option''' to put a stop to this.
