Mail Folders and Dock Icons missing

My MBP started up today with only the default icons in the dock. Also it's not hidden as it was before.
My mail folders are all gone as well. It would seem my mac has forgotten some things.
That's as far as I dared to venture before seeking help from you guys. Please advise if you know how i can get things back the way they were.
regards, Graham.

It is going to be difficult to impossible to recover without a current backup.
Here are some possibilities.

  • Dock Icons Missing after running Onyx

    Hello Folks,
    I just ran Onyx and did a restart. I now have about 12 of my dock icons missing, can anyone tell me what I need to do to restore them?
    Many thanks,
    Jim

    I tried just clicking on each icon that was gone, and as I did with each one, they came back to normal. In my case where each icon was there was a blank icon in its place, that I clicked on.

  • Mac Mail: Unread mail counter on dock icon shows "phantom" unread mails

    The mailconter of my Mac Mail icon on the dock shows 25 unread messages, but I'm unable to find these inside Mac Mail as unread messages.
    I did check all mailboxes and their subfolders for any undread messages that might be inside them, but I didn't find any.
    Is there any way to reset or recalculate the unread mail counter for the dock icon?

    Hi Robert
    The proposed rebuild did suddenly reveal the 25 unread mails insinde my archive mailfolders. By marking these as read again now shows the correct count of unread mails on the dock icon.
    Thanks a lot, your hint was most helpful!
    Regards

  • Deleted phone, mail, safari, and ipod icons from 3g iphone.. Help!

    Granddaughter deleted phone, mail, safari, and ipod icons from 3g iphone. How do I get back? Have restored to factory settings and done restore and they do not show up. Help.

    I did just discover one way to get the missing icons back :
    go to Settings:Reset (at the very bottom)
    select
    Reset Home Screen Layout
    that will restore your missing icons, where phone, mail, safari and ipod are on the mail home tab.

  • Transclucent back behind Phone, Mail, Safari and Music Icons

    I am curious to know was the background Translucent on the 5S behind the Phone, Mail, Safari and Music Icons and grey on the 5? If it was translucent on the 5S now after the update it is not any longer it is like the 5 was or still will be like the 5 with a grey background on the area in question also maybe even in the category app boxes it was the same as well. If anyone can be of assistance and let me know if it was like that as I have a friend who sent me a screen shot of his 5S and it was translucent in the area in question.

    After the update to 7.1 it will not be. I did my 5 and set the transparency off and it is not as greyed but it is no longer translucent/transparent as before the update. now it is as same as the 5S i have.

  • Lost wallpaer and dock icon after boot

    Sometimes during boot a fray bar appears, like when I update EFI and after boot I have lost wallpaer and dock icon.
    In that case I have to reboot and during boot the gray bar does not appear and I get my wallpaper back but the dock is empty.

    Hi
    Did you remove the preferences folder or the preferences within that folder from /Users/Home/Library? If you have not then perhaps something has happened to your drive/directory that seems to have affected only that part of your system - unlikely but possible. Do you have a backup?
    I don't know how SuperDuper works having never used it but can you recreate your backup sets from the backups themselves?

  • I clicked to open one of my mail folders and when it opened, it immediately deleted all of the items in it!  Why and can I get them back???

    In my email app, I clicked to open one of my mail folders.  When it opened, it immediately deleted all of the emails inside that folder.  This happened with all the others too.  How can I stop this and is it possible to get that mail back.

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • My dock icon missing?

    My Excel for Mac dock icon is missing.  The space or gap is there and I am able to open the app, except that for some reason there is no icon.  All the other Office for Mac app like Windows and Power Point are good.  I restarted and the icon is still missing.  Is there any setting I can go to?
    Thank you.

    Are you saying you have an invisible icon?  If you can launch Excel by clicking on the "gap" try to right or control click and select Options > Remove from Dock.  Now find Excel in the application folder and drag it to the dock.  Does it show up now?
    Thank you.  Yes I did that.  The first time it didn't work and was still invisible.  It worked the second time.
    My question now is how did that happened in the first place?  Did I clicked on something to make it invisible?

  • Mouse pointer jumping around and dock icon graphics tops breaking up

    i been noticing my mac acting funny, at 1st i dismissed it as no big deal but now it has become more frequent. instead of happening occasionally its happening constantly. my mac has been in the exact same location since i owned it and my mouse surface hasnt changed. theres no debris i can see in the mouses eye. its like the computer is freezing then releasing the pointer. i cant even guess about why the dock icon graphic tops are breaking up. i ran my permissions and all is fine there. anyone else know what it could be? thanks for any help.

    sweet the dock icons are full again. so far so good about the mouse. i forgot a couple months back i deleted my system folder(duh) and never reinstalled the techtool. i guess i paniced thinking something malicious was attacking my comp. sorry for assuming the worst. thanks for setting me straight.
