Mail icon is missing from Dock and not in Applications folder.  What to do?

My email icon disappeared from my dock when I turned off my computer.  In the past I go to the Applications folder and just drag the Mail application to the dock and I am good to go.  Now my Mail program is no longer in my Application folder.  Is there a site I can go to and download the Mail application for MacBook?  I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8
Thanks!

I actually found the System disk and reinstalled all of the Applications (including Mail), but when I went to open it, it said "this version of Mail does not work with the Operating System (Mac OS X 10.5.8).  What now?!
Thanks.

  • HT203167 My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install?

    My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install? You can't delete it so where is it?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My icons are missing from finder and Safari.

    Not sure what I have done. My icons are missing from finder and Safari, tired the customise tool bar option with no joy,   please help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I have lost my mail application on the dock and in the application folder. Is a download available for osx 10.6?

    Possibly installing the big 10.5.8 Combo will bring it back, but first...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...

    Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot.

  • When updating my spreadsheets (iWork '08) the umbrella icon appears in the dock, and the software backs up what I've entered. I don't recall setting this up.

    Anyone know what's going on?

    Thanks, but I do know what the software is for as I occasionally use it to back up stuff onto my iDisk, but I don't understand why I'm getting backups of stuff like spreadsheets when I haven't set the system up for it.
    The only back up I do have set up is for my iPhoto album to back up to my Lacie external hard drive...that's all.

  • Applications folder missing from Dock and Finder

    I was a little confused to find my applications folder missing from the Dock on my Macbook Pro today - I can't think of anything which I may have done to actively cause it to go missing. I opened up the finder and dragged the applications icon from the LHS of the finder onto the RHS of the dock, but rather than reappearing in the doc it just disappeared.
    When I went back to the finder to try again I discovered that it had vanished from there as well. I ran a search in the finder for "applications" and found the applications folder in the results, but when I try to open it I get the following error message "The alias “Applications” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
    Does anyone have any ideas on what might have caused this or on how I get my Applications folder back on the Dock? Any help would be really appreciated!

    The Applications folder on the dock is a shortcut, or more specifically, an alias.
    It sounds like what you did was to drag the Applications item from the Finder sidebar...which is also an alias. By dragging it from the sidebar, it's as if you'd dragged an icon off the dock. It poofs and disappears.
    To get them back, open a Finder window and navigate to Macintosh HD (or whatever you've named your hard drive). At the root level of the drive lives your Applications folder (the actual folder, not an alias). Drag that one to the sidebar to replace that shortcut, and drag it again to the Dock to replace that shortcut as well.
    If you click on Macintosh HD and all you see are System, Library, and Users and have no Applications folder, then something terrible has happened.

    At first it was just on one of my computers but now it is on all three of my computers and they each show a different number. I have dleeted my mail accounts and then readded them in mail preferences and that works for a sec but not for very long. it is very annoying....

    In System Preferences > Notification Center, select Mail in the left hand column, and check the box, "Badge app icon" toward the bottom on the right.

  • Mail Icon is missing, and unable to open from Applications.  (Mail 3.6 is not supported is the error message)  I am on Lion OSX 10.7.3.

    I closed the mail folder when I did a software update.  This morning, the mail icon is missing, and am not able to open from applications, or find it anyware in the toolbar.    Error message says that Mail 3.6 is not supported by OSX Lion 10.7.3

    Xcode 4.x cannot be installed on Snow Leopard.  You need a 3.x.  So if that is what you used then yes, you need to install lion.   If connect.apple.com still alows registration or logins using an existing appleid then you could download the last xcode 3.2.6 for free.

  • Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

    My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open.  Help please.

    You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
    Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

    Hello jo90733,
    I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Back up your Mac

    OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
    Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
    Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
    To start the installation, click Install.
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • I installed the system update to 10.7.3. After re-booting, my mail file was missing from the dock.  Looked in applications and the mail application is missing. Any thoughts?

    Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem.  As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS.  I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock.  Thanks again for trying.

    Don't recall the exact wording. But it is the same in appearance as others.  Anyway, problem solved using RogerWilmut1 reply to someone else.  I opened Applications and got the icon back.  Thanks for responding.

  • My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    (IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
    Or do what hannahsage said above.
