I accidentally removed my download folder from the dock, how do I get it back?

I accidently removed my download folder from my desktop, how do I get it back?

I accidently removed my dowload folder as well.  Your tip easily put it back in the dock, but now the folder opens differently. It used to show the most recent downloads at the bottom of a vertical list of icons. Now, a huge folder opens up in seemingly random order. How do I get it to go back to the previous preferences?

    I couldn't make it work no matter how I entered it.  Maybe I don't understand what you mean by the (~).  I'm a novice as you can probably already tell.   - Terry

  • TS4036 I accidentally removed my iPhone  device from icloud backup, how do I get it back

    I was trying to clean up my backup as a message told me I was getting close to full. I accidentally removed my iPhone off iCloud backup. Can someone tell me how to get it back on please

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backup to On to start backing up to iCloud again.  If your device isn't listed under Backups, you don't have one.  To see it listed again, create an iCloud backup, either by connect to your charger and wifi, locking the screen and waiting; or by tapping Back Up Now.

    I Accidentally erased a text message from my iPhone 5; can I get it back

    If you backed that message up before you deleted it you can Restore from your backup. If not it is gone, but if you just need some information from it you might try a spotlight search for a keyword in the text.

    Go to your Applications folder and start up Safari by double-clicking on its icon. Once Safari is running it will be present in the Dock. Then right-click on the Safari icon in the dock and choose Options > Keep in Dock in the pop-up menu.

  • I've lost the application folder from Favorites. How do I get it back?

    I've somehow lost the application folder which should be located in Finder - left hand side under Favorites. I can do a search and find a specific application located on the hard drive - so I haven't deleted them.  But I want the Application folder with the different applications back in Finder.  I'm kind of hesitant about starting a search in areas I know nothing about.  Can anyone help?

    Hi JanMP,
    The sidebar in a Finder window can be easily modified, so it's possible that the Applications folder may have been accidentally dragged out of it. You should be able to drag it back on from its current location (Macintosh HD > Applications), as outlined in the following article:
    OS X Yosemite: Customize the Finder toolbar and sidebar
