I have lost the icons for Word, Excel, iTunes, etc. from the bottom of my desktop - how do I get them back?

Easy-these are just aliases. Do a cloverleaf+F/command+F (Find) and they should appear. Either create an alias and drag it to the dock-or there's an "add to Dock" command in the Finder. so click on whichever app you'd like to add to the Dock,  then add to Dock and it should appear there. If something isn't in the Dock that doesn't mean it's gone for good. It's just an alias
well, hope that helped

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent

  • Since swapping my iphone i have lost all my pictures but they are still all saved in instagram! How do i get them back to my camera roll?

    Since swapping my broken iphone 4s for a new one i have lost all my pictures from camera roll but they are still saved in my instagram. Is there a way to get them saved back to phone? Also my whatsapp is not working since upgrading to IOS6??
    Please help.

    You can not put them back in the camera roll. The camera roll is temporary storage for new photos taken with the phone. You can sync them back to your phone in another album using iTunes.
    As for whatsapp, ask the developer. That is not an Apple product.

  • I don`t know how but I have lost all my photos that were in iTunes,any ideas please as to how I can get them back.

    I don`t know how but I have lost all my photos that were in iTunes,any ideas on how to retreave them.I have tried deselecting the all folders when it starts syncing but it wont let me.

    Please explain your problem better. There a no photos in iTunes.
    You can sync photos from your computer to your iPod via iTunes. You select in the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes what folder of photos to sync to the iPod.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • My computer crashed and I've lost two of my films. On my purchases they are still listed how do I get them back?

    Re-downloading of movies has been licensed by the movie studios only in the US as of right now. I'm guessing, since you refer to "films", that your're not in the US and if so will not be able to download your movies again without paying. You'll need to restore from your backups.

    If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

  • TS1702 Lost pages and numbers when I had to restore to factory setting.  How do I get them back?

    I had to update to IOS 6.  In the process it crashed and I had to restore my iPad to factory settings.  I've lost Pages and Numbers.  They are not listed in the App Store as previously downloaded.  How can I get them back without paying for them again?

    i would contact expresslane.apple.com
    select itunes>itunes store>downloading content
    let them know what's going on
    sometimes they allow a re-grant for a previous download
    because of copyright laws, these programs usually only have 1 download per purchase

  • I lost al my documents, photo's, contact person after upgrade to mavericks. How can i get them back

    i lost al my documents, photo's, contact's and more after upgradeto mavericks. how can i get them back

    First if you haven't done so already click on the Apple Logout > and make sure you don't have more than one user account...  If you don't log back in and see if your files came back.  Try this: 
    press command + space keys > Search for terminal then hit enter. 
    from command line > type: cd ~/Documents (or Desktop or Pictures just depends where you had your files)
    then type: ls -a (this will list all files even hidden ones let me know if you see your files or not)
    *Note: Be sure to read the instructions carefuly and ask questions if you don't understand something.

  • I lost all of my photos and videos after download of iOS 5? how do I get them back?

    So I updated to OS 5 last night an low and behold I lost all of my photos and videos? how do I get them back, I did do my download on my mac book pro. I would have thought that all of that stuff would have transferred automatic during the download of 5, but I guess that would make too much sense? So how do I get that stuff back?

    I did the same thing last night also with my MacBook Pro.  None of my music, video or photos not taken originally on my iphone were  reloaded back onto my phone.  I received an error message instead.  I had to just re-drag the music and videos that I wanted back to my iphone.  As far as my photos taken on my iphone...by chance, I had just backed those up earlier that day.  I'm not sure where the photos are that I had put on my iphone in the beginning...they still show up in people's contacts, but they no longer show up under photos - ?  This is very frustrating!

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    I presume that you have got preinstalled windows 7 System, Which you upgraded to Windows 8 now you have downgraded to windows 7. I have few questions & suggestion
    How you downgraded to windows 7 using Recovery System or using windows OEM Disk
    I am presuming that you have used the OEM disk, I would suggest you to use the OKR feature to restore to factory default by press F11 button during Post i.e.. When Lenovo Logo is displayed and follow onscreen instructions
    Have you created a set of recovery media? If yes you can use these to recovery your system
    Note: Before using above steps please ensure you have backed up your data
    Hope This Helps
    Cheers!!!
