? Instead of icons on dock

Tried to set up a second user on my laptop and all of the dock icons appear in the form of a "?" And will not open.

Hammondnd,
are all of the apps in the second user’s dock identical to the apps in the first user’s dock, or are there apps in the second user’s dock that aren’t also in the first user’s dock?
Is the second user a standard user or an administrative user?

  • Question mark instead of icon in dock

    I'm seeing a question mark instead of the VLC icon in my dock. Does anyone know why?

    The icons in the dock are basically shortcuts to the applications themselves.
    Can you still open VLC through Spotlight or the Applications folder?
    If so, delete the question mark from the dock by dragging it up off the dock and letting it go "poof." Then open VLC, right-click on its icon in the dock, and choose Keep in Dock.

  • Question marks instead of icons in the dock.

    Hi,
    can anyone suggest why my macbooks have question marks instead of icons on and off in the dock. When clicked the icon will re-appear and the application will launch. There is no pattern to which icons will be replaced by question marks or how many. Sometimes all will be question marks, and other times only one? Any ideas?
    Also - just a general question - of less importance, but with Leopard looming, historically how well does a server cope with new software versions on clients? Will I really need Server 10.5?

    With regard to the questionmark issue, check out this thread:

  • Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

    Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    HI, it isn't really clear here what the problem is... is something missing from the Dock, or is the Dock missing?

  • Is there a way to view apps as a list instead of icons?

    Is there a way to view apps as a list instead of icons?

    Doesn't anyone else have this desire?
    It seems most people are used to seeing lists on all desktop computers. I almost never see anyone viewing files as icons when doing serious work. I'm stumped as to why this would not be an option for the iphone.
    Can anyone offer a reason why Apple would confine us to icon view for apps?
    Imagine if you could only view your contacts as icons? Or your itunes tracks?
    Come on, what gives?

    If you found Safari in the Trash it was probably the Safari.app itself. Icons on the Dock do not go into Trash. They drag off and "Poof".
    That means that the app, itself is on your Desktop. Choose it and Get Info (command-i). Does it say, "Safari.app"? Drag it back into /Applications folder. Then drag your icon off the Dock and create a new one by dragging Safari.app to the Dock. It will create an alias which is all the Dock icons are.
    The question mark means an alias has lost the path to the application. Have your other users drag it off the Dock and drag it from the applications folder to create a new alias on the Dock.

  • My FaceTime icon in dock is not showing when and how many calls I have missed (similar to the email system where it shows how many emails (on the stamp icon) have been received

    My Face Time icon in dock does not show how many calls I have missed.  It should show the number similar to the email system(a red number appears on the stamp icon).  How can I rectify this problem?

  • I have a MBP 15" with iPhoto 9. When right clicking on icon in dock 3 iPhoto libraries come up; one empty, one with 35,000 photos and one with 30,000 photos.  How can I delete the empty one and merge the other two without getting duplicates?

    You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
    Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only current solution to merging libraries

  • Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

      Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

    The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

  • Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

    It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

  • LibreOffice-black rectangle instead of icon "helpers"

    Hi,
    I'm on a fresh installed, fully updated, Arch-X86_64/KDE (4.8.00) system.
    I've tried to open Writer (part of Libre Office ver 3.4.5) and found that I get full black rectangles, instead of icon "helpers" (that small window which appears if you leave the mouse curser a few seconds on an icon).
    Libre Office is configured to use US English as the default user interface (and language as well), with Hebrew for CTL.
    Below is a copy of my local.
    Please advise!
