The launch icon disappeared on my dock. How do I find it?

Do you mean the iTunes icon (this is the iTunes Store forum), or for a different app ? If the app is still in your Applications folder on your Mac then you should be able to click-and-drag it from there back onto your Mac's dock.
Do you have the Applications folder on your dock, of if not then you should have a Applications folder off the root of hard drive.
Or you can open Finder, do control-F to open the search, set Kind as Application
then type in the name of the app that you want to add to the dock into the search field top right of the Finder screen, and then click-and-drag the app from the search results to the dock.

    Do you have Time Machine enabled.   If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder.   Then restore.

  • I installed firefox on OSX Mountian Lion and the icon disappears off of dock when I restart

    I installed firefox on OSX Mountian Lion and the icon disappears off of dock when I restart.  I get a question mark instead but when I click on it the firefox icon reappears. 

    Drag Firefox to a location on the hard disk and launch it from there instead of the mounted dmg.

  • The mic icon disappeared on my iPhone 4 keyboard how do I get it back

    The mic icon disappeared on my iPhone 4 keyboard how do I get it back?

    Should be Siri microphone. Go to Settings>>General>>Siri and turn Siri on.
    But in your signature says you have iPhone 4, right? Just iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 have Siri (just talking about iPhones, ok?! I know that iPad and iPods also have this).

  • Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

    every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
    do you know why and how to solve this problem?

    Hi Colin,
    A couple of things you can try:
    Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
    Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
    Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
    See if one of these actions will help.

  • When the mac wakes from sleep, the wireless icon disappears

    Hi All, I have a third party wireless PCI card in the PowerMac G4 MDD which works fantastically. The only issue I have is when the machine wakes from sleep, the wireless icon disappears from the top menu and the machine freezes and I have to force shut down.....
    Any ideas?
    I am running 10.5.8....

    Hi, Garry -
    It seems some PCI cards don't handle sleep well; sometimes they exhibit behavior such as you've noted, sometimes they just prevent the machine from entering sleep.
    In many cases the solution can be to sleep only the monitor; in the Sleep prefs pane, set the sliders for System and Hard Drive to "never", and the one for the monitor to your choice of delay. This arrangement also means waking from sleep is faster.

  • The Audiobooks icon disappeared.

    When I was last synching my ipod nano the Audiobooks icon disappeared from my home screen.  I also lost the playlist that contained my audiobook.  I checked under "Settings" and the audiobooks icon was "on".  I turned the "on" "off" button a few times to see if it would come back to the home screen but it did not.  I was able to change other icons using the settings "on"  "off", but not Audiobooks.    The audiobook is  in my library and are checked off to synch with my ipod.  My library indicates a playlist with the book in it, but it doesn't appear on my ipod.  I did not receive a message that I was out of space on the nano, so I think there was enough room left to synch.  How do I get it back?

    You may want to try a Restore on the iPod using iTunes.  The button for Restore is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.

    I guess she means pin to dock, unless it is a link to the store where you might buy staples, among other things.

    Why is it that the Facetime icon disappeared after i changed my sim from qatar vodafone number to philippines smart number? How can i reactivate my facetime?

    Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

    Sounds like you downloaded the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update or Combo Update. Neither will work on a version of OS X prior to OS X Mavericks. Those are only used to update an existing install of OS X Mavericks. The Combo will update any version from 10.9.0 thru 10.9.4. The Update will only update version 10.9.4.
    You need the full installer of OS X Mavericks from the App Store. However, the App Store no longer offers OS X Mavericks. Yosemite is the new FREE OS X.
