I accidently deleted the settings icon on my mac

i think i accidently deleted the settings icon on my mac is there anyway of getting it back without going to an apple store?
many thanks

Now to worry the icons in the Dock are only aliases.
So if you go into Applications and find System Preferences and drag that back to the Dock that will create another one for you.

  • I accidently deleted the today icon in history and I don't know how to get it back.

    Where the history icons are located with today, yesterday, a week, etc I accidentally deleted the today icon and I don't know how to get it back.

    Today will automatically reappear once there is history for today. However you can't recover the history that has been deleted.

    Tried to move my settings icon on my display screen and now I've lost it. How can i get it back??

    You can't delete the settings icon form an iPhone. so it either ended up in a folder with another app, or in another screen.
    You'll have to look for it.
    You can use Spotlight by swiping down from the middle of the screen, to search for it. If its in a folder, it will tell you which one.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    Exactly how did you delete it?
    Not knowing what computer or OS you are using, it's not possible to provide any help. We need more info and a filled-in profile.
    You can always restore the system from your backup.

  • I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back, do I need to re down load?

    I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back do I nave to re download??

    Swipe through your screens and swipe to the left of your Home screen. Type in App Store in the search field. It's a permanent pre installed Apple app so it can't be deleted.
    If you can't locate it on the iPad for some reason, connect the device to your computer. Right or control click the iPad under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click: Restore from backup

  • Deleted the photo icon in error

    whilst rearranging the icons on the home page,  inadventally deleted the "PHOTO" icon - query - how to reinstate it.

    You can't delete the Photo icon as its a preinstalled app.  Have you checked to see if it's been moved to another screen or in a folder. Try searching for it also. You could also try a home screen layout settings>general>reset>reset home screen layout.

  • How do you restore the settings icon?

    How do I retrieve the settings icon on a 5c phone?

    Try a search to see if you can find it. It is a native iOS app and cannot be deleted. If it does not show in a folder, or in the search, then try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. See if you can locate it then. If not, then you will have to perform a restore, since the other software reset commands are in the Settings app.

  • I have an iMac OSLion.  After accidently deleting the printer, I have reset the printer system.  Then plug printer in and hoped it would recognize it, but no. Now what do I do to get the printer back?

    I have an IMac OS Lion.  After accidently deleting the printer I have reset the printing system, and plugged the printer in again, and hoped the computer would recognize it, but no it didn't.  Now what do I do to get the printer back again?

    Hello.
    You'll probably have to add the printer again. You can do it like this:
    System Preferences > Print & Scan. Click on the '+' icon and choose your printer.

    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it. It cannot be deleted from the iPad.
    You can reset the the home screen layout but that returns the home screen to the original out of the box set up - but it will restore the icon to the home screen.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • How do I get the music icon to show up on the home page? in the settings icon it shows I have all my songs downloaded.

    How do I get the music icon to show up on the home page of the touch?  Under the settings icon it shows the songs are downloaded.

    - Move the Music app icon to the home page.  It is usually easer to do it on the computer than on the iPod itself. The manual says how to move the apps.

    - I do not undersand what: "Under the settings icon it shows the songs are downloaded." means.
