I lost something that was in my dock...help, please!!

I just got my mac yesterday, and it's the first mac I've ever gotten. While trying to eject a disk, I managed to delete something from the dock. What is in the dock next to the trash can? And, is there any way I can find whatever application it is somewhere in the computer and put it back on? Any help would...help. Thanks.

On a stock installation of Mac OS X, the dock icon directly to the left of the trash icon is a link to Apple's Mac OS X webpage. You can put it back by visiting http://www.apple.com/macosx/ in Safari. Once you're at the site, look in the address bar where you entered the address. There should be an icon directly to the left of the address you typed in. The icon is a gray square with a white Apple logo inside it. You can drag it back into the Dock next to the trash can. When you put it on the dock, it will appear as a gray circle with an @ sign and it has a spring underneath it. This is what a link dragged to the dock looks like.
Just as a little factoid: in the dock there is a thin vertical line that separates applications from documents. Applications go on the left, and documents/links/etc (including the trash can) go on the right.
Hope this helps!

  • I have to pay for something that was not my fault, nor Verizon's fault, but is an act of God/nature.  Why is that?

    As I stated above, "I have to pay for something that was not my fault, nor Verizon's fault, but is an act of God/nature.  Why is that?"  I had a hard time keeping my phone charged at one time, so I called/visited my local retailer of Verizon, and they ordered me a new battery (first step after cleaning my phone. Not like it was dirty anyways). Got a new battery, put it in, still same problem.  Would not charge...boo! So, I bring it back, and they order me a replacement phone, since it "is still under warranty, and insured".  When I first brought my phone in, the young lady said, "That is why it is not charging; it was the charger port, that is why it was not charging. It is as loose as a goose" So, that is why she ordered me a new one. 
         So, get the new phone, put "new battery" back in.  All is good, all of what, 2 maybe 3 weeks later.  Now it is doing the same thing again. Checked the charging port, it is fine.  Bring it in, to the store, and questioned the young man behind the desk, and find out why I was charged the $299.95(+taxes & s/h). He said, "it was because the old phone was because there was "corrosion" around the port."  Of course, there was not a single note of it being loose.  He continued, and said it was because it was there had to be a time where you spilled something on it, even if it was a drop of any kind of liquid. Or, you/ or someone else, had it in the shower with them."  (Really, a drop of liquid, or taking the phone with me in the shower?)  How I could I get a "drop" of liquid in it, if I had an Otter-box on it, or why would I take it in the shower with me?  I admit, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but, really? Come on now!
         Since, I have to now pay for it, I am kind ‘a wondering if anyone else has, or had the same problem with their phone (s).  My wife has the same phone and she has not had this same problem.  Makes me wonder.  Since, my phone is doing this again, if it is something that I am doing wrong with it or not.  So, now they have ordered me a new battery, and we will see if this will be a new fix, or "good bye to Verizon."  Any comments, or suggestions, please email wife and me, and let me know. Thanks and God bless.

    Don't really see how this would be an act of God/nature.
    Regardless, are you saying Verizon should have to pay for those, though?

  • I changed the format to an external drive and lost everything that was on it.

    I changed the format on an external hard drive and lost everything that was on it. Is there a way to recover what was on it?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

  • I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from an older MAC to a newer MAC. My newer MAC has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. Help!!!

    I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. How do I find all my files on the MacBook Pro, or undo what I have done???

    IGNORE the last post: he thought you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Since you are using Snow Leopard, you need to install Rosetta.  It can be found on your Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Options section.
    Once installed all should be well again.
    Also, if your computer is connected to the internet when the Dialog Box about PowerPC applications comes up, it MIGHT allow you to download Rosetta from the internet.  There has been some discussion that Apple has discontined internet download of Rosetta into Snow Leopard.
    Someone else will have to address your lost files problem.

  • HT5622 I got charged for something that was free

    i was in the iTunes app and i was looking at some TV episodes and there was a free section. i clicked it and there were a bunch of episodes from the tv show "24" and i clicked download for the episodes that were available. then i went to the home page, scrolled down and there was about 3 dollers missing from the ballance that shows in the ios version of iTunes.
    i would really appreciate someone telling me how i can get that back or is there a way to restore that amount, becasue i clicked download for something that was free and didnt cost.
    HELP!!

    Please check your purchase history first to see if the download wasn't for free. Maybe the store credit balance wasn't up to date and refreshed with the free download.

    The pass 4 days now my iTunes Store is not responding, when I reload it all that comes up is a blank white page that says iTunes Store. Help please!!!! Cannot load my gift card to buy music and such!!!

    I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS!  I can now access the Itunes Store.  A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
    Below is the advice you forwarded:
    I found a solution to my problem.
    > start menu
    > accessories,
    > right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
    Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter
    You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
    Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
    Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

    had a problem with my itunes so i had went on itunes website and reinstall itunes for windows and after it complete it said that the feature yoy are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable i need help please!!!!!!!!!

    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
           next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
        oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

  • TS3988 I am receiving email that I should verify my password for iCloud but I can't see the link that I should start. HELP please!!!!!!

    I am receiving email that I should verify my password for iCloud but I can't see the link that I should start. HELP please!!!!!!

    You select the desired file (tick the square box on the left of the file name).
    You click on the "share"/"send" icon (the envelope with the arrow that points up and to the right).
    You are presented with the share/send dialog.
    Here you select the "Send To" choice.
    This is done by placing a tick in the box beside either "Public Link (create a public link for anyone to view)"
    OR
    "Personalizdd Link (send email invitations to individuals)"
    NOTE: The second choice is only available if you have a subscription to Adobe Send service.
    So, for a free "Files" account in Adobe's cloud you'd tick "Public Link".
    At the bottom left you'll observe the "Create Link" button.
    Click it.
    You are presented with a new dialog that informs you that the Public Link has been generated and that link is provided in a field within the dialog.
    You can copy the link to a text file for future copy-paste into a post to a forum or bulletin board or you can provide the link to otheres via an email.
    Be well...

  • HT4061 I had my front screen replaced. Now nothing shows up on the screen, as if the phone was turned off. Help, please.

    I had my front screen replaced. Now nothing shows up on the screen, as if the phone was turned off. Help, please.

    Replaced where?  If it was done by anyone other than Apple the warranty has been voided.
    Regardless, the screen replacement was obviously not successful.  Take the device back to whomever replaced the screen and address the issue with them.

  • HT1212 I followed the I have never synced with itunes directions, and I appear to have lost everything that was on my itouch.  Now what?

    This is the most frustrating site and instructions.  I got locked out of my iTouch and had to do a system restore.  I followed the directions for having never synced with itunes directions, as I inheireted this itouch from my dad and when I tryed to sync before it looked like I would wipe out everything on it, which I DID NOT want to do.  Now, after following the directions, I have wiped out everything that was on it, pictures, songs,...is there anyway to restore what was on the itouch?

    Looking at those directions I am not seeing the device in itunes.  Here is what I followed from:  iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode under if you have never synced your device with itunes.
    "Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device."
    From:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5229504
    So I followed these directions and in step number 5 it was uploading (I believe) for about 30 minutes.  When that was over there was no other directions and the device was still locked.  So I repeated the steps.  This time it restored the device, but when I get on it, I lost all music and pictures, along with a few apps.  The apps are no big deal as they were free downloads, so I can redo those with no problems.  Trying to follow your directions above and clicking through the links, my main problem is that I have no devices showing in itunes.  I just down loaded it today, so it is the latest version.  So what now?
