I accidentally removed launchpad from my dock? What to do now???

You know you can customize the Dock to whatever you like, right? You can drag things out if you don't want them, or add things by dragging them in from the Applications folder. Drag Launchpad back from the Applications folder into the Dock to add it back again.

Accidentally removed iTunes from the dock

When I went to open my iTunes, I accidentally dragged it off the dock, how can I put it back on and will my library still be intact?

how can I put it back on
Click on the item in the Finder's sidebar named Applications and drag it from the Applications folder to the Dock; it's to the right of the Address Book by default, but can be placed anywhere to the left of the divider line.
will my library still be intact?
Yes.

I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?

I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?
iPhoto isn't in my applications to I can't drag it to dock. All images and movies are still on Mac (heart did stop as I thought I'd lost everything and nearly cried) but I don't know how to get iPhoto back. I'm worried about trying different things as don't want to lose anything on Mac. Noticed that I haven't been using Time Machine and bought a couple of years ago so not sure what operating with. I have our 2 CDs from when we bought the Mac - 13-inch Macbook Pro (Mac OS X Install DVD) and 13 inch MacBook Pro (Applications Install DVD). My photos are not backed up so not sure if I need to do this first - can I back up to iCLoud or do I need newer software?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - need lots of step by step instructions though!

All images and movies are still on Mac
Of course they are. Deleting an app doesn't delete the files that's in it.

I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from my dock. Don't know if this has anything to do with it or not. I have moved it up the screen and held it and still returns to the dock. What now?

I do not know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from the dock. I have moved it half way up and held it and it just goes back to the dock. Will not let me even put it in the trash. I am new to the macbook so would you please help me?

There is NO calibration on a modern macbook
Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and are not to be calibrated
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery.

I accidentally uninstalled aperture from my dock and computer how do I reinstall?

I accidentally uninstalled aperture from my dock and computer how do I reinstall on my MacBook Air? I was removing Aperture from my DOCK. Later when I went to search for it in my applications it was no longer available. I searched trash and applications. How do I reinstall?

I was removing Aperture from my DOCK. Later when I went to search for it in my applications it was no longer available.
When you remove an application from the Dock, it will just vanish from the Dock and not be deleted. Either the application was already missing, or you removed Aperture from the Launchpad. Removing from the Launchpad will uninstall an application completely.
If you hold down on an app, until the "x" appears and then tab the x, the application will be removed from the Applications folder.
How do I reinstall?
That will depend on your Aperture version and system version. What are they?
If you bought Aperture from the AppStore or are using Aperture 3.5.1, sign into the AppStore with your AppleID and download Aperture again from the "Purchased" tab.
If you bought an earlier version of Aperture, you need to use the installer disk image or installer DVD that you originally used. Do you still have the media and an optical drive for your MBA?
If you cannot run the installer, restore the Aperture application from your backup.

Can't remove items from the dock

Hey,
i'm having this problem for quite some time, and it's starting to annoy me.
When i try to remove something from my dock, lets say safari, for example, the dock auto reloads and the safari icon appears again. I tried to remove it dragging it out of the dock, using the "Remove from dock" right-click option and dragging it to the trash. It always reloads the dock automatically.
I joke around with the dock appearance a while back, but dont know what i did wrong to create this issue.
Anyone knows what's going on?
Thanks in advance
Sergio

I dont think so, but i'll sure look into that. I'll post back if i find anything. Thanks
Edit: After looking for some dock locking programs, i noticed that this programs lock the dock, not allowing to insert new items on it. As i can insert new things there i assume its not one. I've also searched for some programs like transparentDock and such, but nothing showed up so i guess thats not the problem.

I accidentally removed Safari from my OS X 10.8.5. Does anyone know which version of Safari is compatible and where I can download it?

Check Software Update first.
You have to reinstall OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to install Safari.

Nothing, except "keep asking". Maybe you can return it.
In too many cases the "sellers who do not respond" stole the device.

Accidentally removed download from dock

Hi, I'm a new mac user. I accidentally removed download and documents from the dock and I want them back. Not sure how to do this. Thanks

Downloads and Documents are folders in your home folder (the one with the house icon). The icons in the Dock are just aliases (shortcuts) to those folders.
To restore them to the Dock, just drag the folder from the home folder in the Finder window to it's place in the Dock (to the right of the divider, or below it if you have the Dock down the side). Wait until the other icons move out of the way for it before releasing the mouse button.
Don't try to drag the ones from the Finder sidebar; they're just aliases too.

Accidentally removed "@" icon from Dock (launches safari)

Hi,
I accidentally removed the "@" icon from the far right side of the Dock (it launches safari). Can anyone tell me how I can get it back?
Thanks,

*Hi Joseph, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Hmmnnn, I did not know you could launch Safari that way. The "@" usually is a URL that has been dragged to that location.
The standard way to get an App onto the Dock is to go to the Apps folder and drag the app to where you want it in the left portion of the dock. It will then stay there until you right (Control) click on it and ask that it be removed from the Dock.
Hope that's helpful.
Good Luck, JP
