Keynote and pages icons disappear from dock

Although I tried to fix the icons for Pages and Keynote to the dock by dragging the apps from the application folder to the dock, everytime I restart the computer, the two icons have disappeared. I did repair disk permissions, but it still happpens!
Anyone who's got a clue?
Thanks in advance!
Frank

Hello bdy:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The most probable reason is that you accidentally dragged the icon out of the dock. I have done this myself when I "opened" a program and dragged the pointer from the dock instead.

Hotsync Manager crashes and tray icon disappears

Hi, whenever I try to run Hotsync on my computer (XP Pro) the program immediately crashes and the icon disappears from the systray. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the whole thing, reboot my pc, etcetera, but it keeps crashing.
This is the error I get:
'HotSync® Manager Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Error signature:
AppName: hotsync.exe AppVer: 7.0.2.0 ModName: hslog20.dll
ModVer: 7.0.0.0 Offset: 0000b0b4
Anyone who can help me find a solution? Tnx.
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

I have the same issue; HotSync won't run (crashes upon start up). I removed the Palm Desktop v. 6.2 completely, downloaded the entire package again and re-installed. HotSync still won't run. This is all on my home PC (WinXP).
I have the same OS on my office machine..HotSync works there. It leads me to believe something has become corrupted with HotSync on the home PC and it isn't being fully removed during the removal process AND it's not being over written during the installation. It worked well for a few months.
Additionally, I find the Access Desktop package to be slow when searching and saving. I've just about had it with Palm devices and the lame Desktop software.

I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD FIREFOX EACH TIME WHEN STARTING THE COMPUTER. WHEN I CLICK ON THE DESK ICON NOTHING HAPPENS AND IT ALSO DISAPPEARS FROM THE TASKBAR

the firefox icon disappears from the taskbar when the computer is switched off and clicking desktop icon does not help so every time I have to download firefox again through Explorer. I know that the program is stored somewhere on my computer but it's not clickable and requires new downloading.

I you see javascript: then that means that there is an onclick event attached to the link, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if such a link isn't working.

Why are icons disappearing from my dock even tho I can still use the location to open the app

How do I keep icons from disappearing from my dock - even tho I can click on the emptied location and open the "ghost" application?

That sounds off. I would right click on the icon/space in the dock and click options>remove from dock. Then drag the application from the apps folder in finder to the dock again and see if it stays.

I installed firefox on OSX Mountian Lion and the icon disappears off of dock when I restart

I installed firefox on OSX Mountian Lion and the icon disappears off of dock when I restart. I get a question mark instead but when I click on it the firefox icon reappears.

Drag Firefox to a location on the hard disk and launch it from there instead of the mounted dmg.

Has anyone faced a problem like this!!!

No. If you go Settings App > General > Reset > "Erase All Content and Settings", you will have the same iOS that was on the iPhone when you tapped the Erase button. If you believe your iPhone is Jailbroken, then this will not work. If you use iTunes on computer, this will put iPhone to current iOS which is iOS 7.0.2

Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
do you know why and how to solve this problem?

Hi Colin,
A couple of things you can try:
Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
See if one of these actions will help.

WiFi icon and progress indicator disappeared from 1st Gen iPod Touch

I've been using the OS 3.0 update since it came out, but about earlier this week I noticed that my WiFi icon disappeared from the top of my screen as well as the progress indicator. Now when I launch Mail, I can't tell if it is actually checking for mail or just sitting there. I also can't tell if I have WiFi or not unless I try an app that uses it. Currently, wifi is working just fine, I just can't get the indicator to work. Any suggestions? I've tried restarting a couple of times with no effect.

try a reset, then retry. To reset the phone press and hold the sleep button and home button at the same time until you see a silver apple. DO NOT slide to turn off at the screen prompt, just keep holding those buttons until you see the apple.
after trying that and it still doesnt work, try a restore.

I have a FreeAgent Goflex drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting

I have a FreeAgent GoFlex backup drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting the firewire. This also happens when I use the USB connection as well. Thanks

Did you use any of the "sleep" drivers supplied? I have found it best to just totally reformat/erase the drives and let the OS handle them.

Ipod wont stay connected and icon disappears from finder

I have a new 80g video ipod, have had it for about three weeks. Up until today all was fine, but now it won't stay connected to itunes after updating files. It connects, shows up on the desk top for a few seconds, updates any new files and then just drops out. It keeps the do not disconnect screen for a few seconds, then the red warning logo disappears and after that i can not do anything with the ipod in itunes. The ipod music list is greyed out and I can't add any new photos or change anything. The only thing I have done differently since it was last working ok was I connected my camera using the camera connector and uploaded some pictures from that.
I have done a reset and now a restore but that hasn't helped.
is the problem with the ipod or itunes? What can I do?

Sorry, this may be a case of "always read the manual first"!
I think that what I thought was a fault with the ipod was in fact due to the default preference for auto syncing being enabled. As I had my previous ipod set to manual update I was used to being able to make changes to the ipods lists whilst connected, but as my new ipod is still set to automatically sync I now realise that this is why the ipods list was greyed out. In this mode it appears that it is usual that as soon as you connect, itunes updates any changes and then disconnects and the red "do not disconnect" screen on the ipod goes. If there were no new additions or changes to playlists made since the last time you connected, the sync will only take a few seconds and then the ipod screen goes back to the menu list. Also, because in auto sync the ipod will be updated with a copy of your itunes contents, the ipod's list is greyed out due to the fact that you are not able to make changes independently from your itunes list. (i.e. you have to make the changes in itunes in order for these to be replicated on the ipod).
In order to keep connected and be able to alter things on the ipod list you have to have the preference set to manually update. Then the ipods contents are not greyed out and you can add, delete and change playlists without doing this in your main itunes on the computer.
So I think I have answered my own question, unless I am still misunderstanding something here, and the moral is, download and read the manual properly before worrying that there is something wrong with the machine!
I still think its a bit weird that the ipod icon disappears from he desktop though as I thought it would be at least recognised as being attached even if not in disc mode. Should it still show in the finder anyway?

I had purchased Pages, Keynote and Numbers for MacPro from the App store. My computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything and they are not appearing in my Purchased. Please help.

You should be able to go > App Store > App store (menu) > store > view my account > sign in. Where do you vary after following this point. In between ID summary and Settings should be a section marked iTunes in the cloud and directly below but within that section, the message we are seeking.
I'm not doubting you, just don't see why you have this problem.

Keynote and pages stopped working after update

i had older versions of keynote and pages. they were fine but obviously outdated. i downloaded the updates (2.0.1 for pages and 3.0.1 for keynote). now both programs don't work.
upon clicking either icon in finder window, the dock icon appears, bounces a little, then poof disappears as if I never opened it. no menu bar appears on top also. really just the icon for a few seconds.
what's wrong here??

When you say older versions, do you mean Pages 1.0.x and Keynote 2.x? If you do, the updates do not work for those versions, you have to buy iWork 06. Cheers!

Keynote and pages

I was deleting photos from my iphoto and I apparently deleted the Keynote and pages on my Mac OS X 10.6.8. I went to click on my widgets on the dock and a question mark shows up on both. I believe I accidently deleted keynote and pages out of my system. How can I recover them?

Reinstall them from the disk or trial download originally used to install them or the computer's original disks. If you got them from the Mac App Store, go to its main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.
