Missing Dock Icons

I accidently removed my osx, internet launch icon from my dock...(the one shaped like a white satellite). I've searched my entire computer trying to find it to put it back on the dock but cannot find it. How do I get it back?? I can still launch the internet via safari, but this can only open one internet search at a time, whereas the osx icon could open multiple. Please HelP!

If you mean the spring icon at the right side, open Safari, enter http://www.apple.com/macosx/ as the address, and drag the blue globe to the left into the Dock. This can be done with any URL.

HT201730 Missing Dock Icons

Missing dock icons include Mail, Safari, iTunes, Contacts on my iMac... the applications run but the icons have been missing since last Yosemite upgrade yesterday. Rebooting doesn't restore them, any helpful hints?

Can you open the Applications folder from the Finders 'Go' menu? Applications should be stored in there if all is correct.
You should also be able to find applications in Spotlight or in LaunchPad too, if you are familiar with those. It's worth checking the main /Applications folder is correct, try the Go menu again & see if it looks correct – Calendar, Contacts, Safari & Mail & all the default Apple apps should be installed there.

Failure to shut down & missing dock icons

2013 MBP & Yosemite 10.10.1
My MBP is regularly displaying the message "Safari (example) quit because of a problem" AND "your computer shut down because of a problem". The computer often becomes unresponsive following either of these messages. If I try and restart / shut down (depending on circumstances), the computer's screen darkens and continues to show the cursor, and the keyboard remains illuminated, but nothing else happens. I have to shut it down using the power on / off key. When I start it back up again, most of the dock icons are missing, although mousing along the dock shows the application names and the apps themselves are accessible from the dock.
Help appreciated!

Missing dock icons in Mavericks

Just a few minutes ago, nothing would load in Finder past when it opens to my home folder. I figured I would try a log out and see if that would fix it. It did, but now my dock is showing missing icons. The app is still there, but only Finder, Calendar, and Trash icons are visible. I can still open the app and the light comes on, but no icon. I restarted and that didn't fix anything. Any ideas?
This literally just happened, and I wasn't doing anything unusual.

Some suggestions for all of you:
read Sco1by's post and then repair your hard drive. Don't just verify it, repair it: Boot into your recovery partition (hold down ⌘R at restart until you see the Apple symbol), go to Disk Utility, and repair your hard drive. While you're there, repair permissions too. OSX Tips Using the Recovery HD
This type of problem with macs is usually due to some third-party software that the user has added, usually an "enhancer", "optimizer", "cleaner", "defragmenter", "utility", anti-virus software, or "haxie". Collectively these are known as "crapware". They are notorious for causing problems like this with the GUI. They are unnecessary and harmful. They are popular with recent converts from the windows world. About 99% of the time, when people write in to these forums about symptoms like this, that's the problem.
I'd remove all these apps from your computer. If you can. They can be impossible to remove.
If the problems persist, then the only option is to start over, back up your documents, erase your HD, and do a clean install.
Then resist the temptation to install more crapware.

Missing dock icon for Max OS X

I used to have a little icon in dock. It looked like the "@" symbol on a spring, and when I clicked it, I went straight to www.apple.com. Well, it's gone and I cannot find it anywhere. HELP!

I'm not sure that you can.
Frankly, I don't put URL shortcuts in the dock as they take a lot of space. I just use bookmarks in Safari.
What you could do is to create a folder, make the folder icon whatever you want, and drag as many URL shortcuts to the folder as you want. Put the folder in the dock, right click on it and choose "display as folder" (instead of "display as stack") and then click it, and select the URL from the list that you want to launch. It will give very similar functionality, with a custom icon of your choosing.

MISSING DOCK ICONS | question marks in the dock

i just did a full OS reinstall of ML and after re-loading sofware and documents there are about six or seven applications in the DOCK that have QUESTION MARKS instead of APP ICONS.
does anyone know why this happened or how to fix it?
TIA

makes total sense. thank you.
is it possible this is an indication that there is some larger problem associated here? i had to do a fresh install due to various problems and i am sort of uber vigilant on this second go round with this machine...

Missing dock icon in system preferences

I tried combo update 10.5.8 and tried deleting com.apple.preferencepanes.cache, no good

I don't seem to see anything that is referring to the dock. But, I found this link with google and ran it. http://att.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=103078&d=1203111933 . it did restore my dock to system preferences but it didn't restore my apple icon dock preferences. I can live with this on my Leopard computer. Strange. Have a fix for all my problems?

Missing Dock Icon

I was download apps from the app store the new os x lion and i accidentally drag the icon to destkop & i cant find it now
but when i open app store its said that its installing
can one help? to find back the icon so i know how far the installation is
thanks

Sorry, but is this really an iPad question? From what you seem to be asking, this seems to be an issue with Mac OS X and the App Store, not with an iPad, but you've posted in the iPad forum.
If this really is a Mac question, the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion forum can be found here:
Mac OS X v10.7 Lion

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.

Dock icons reflection missing-

Hi.
Today, I found something really weird going on on my iMac. As you can see in the screenshot, the Dock icons are missing the reflections… o_O
Any ideas how to get them back? I have tried almost everything… reboot, restore persmissions, fsck, deleting the preferences, etc. but nothing worked…
Thanks in advance.

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.

Dansyacht wrote:
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?

Activity Monitor Dock Icon - Memory - Missing

Why is the Memory option for the Activity Monitor Dock Icon missing now in Mavericks?
Why would Apple remove this feature?
I was happily using this little pie chart for a Dock Icon to keep track of overall memory usage on my system.
Has anyone else found a solution to bring this back?

Yes, thanks for the confirmation. I did some googling and found more people with eight-cores who could not view more than one bar in the dock icon.
I understand that showing eight bars in the icon might've been unreadable, but I would have preferred that they show two bars for the dual processors, instead of leaving us with one bar. I'll have to look into some alternate utilities, but it's a shame Apple decided to regress functionality on their top-end machines.

Dock icons missing

my MB Air is not displaying all it's dock icons since updating to 10.6.8 ?

Mouse over dock icon no longer indicates "application not responding"

A very convenient feature seems to be missing from Snow Leopard. In prior versions, if an application was not responding, holding the cursor over its dock icon would display "[Application] Not Responding" and also an option to Force Quit. This status message does not appear in Snow Leopard.
Are we to assume that if we click and hold on a dock icon and "Force Quit" is presented as an option, that the application has stopped responding?
Suggestions?

drdocument wrote:
Thanks!
So if I click and hold a dock icon and "Force Quit" is shown instead of "Quit" would that indicate that the particular application is in the midst of some process and simply unable to respond?
Should I simply allow more time for the app to finish whatever it's doing?
it could be either. sometimes an application is busy and is showing as not responding but will come out of it after a while. but sometimes it's truly hanging and then you have to force quit it to get rid of it. there is no way to tell just by looking at the dock. give it a bit of time and if it's still not responding then force quit. but if it's happening all the time then you may have problems with your system.
In particular, here, I've launched DiskWarrior 4.2 on a Mini (via Screen Sharing from my Mac Pro) in an attempt to rebuild directory on a My Book 1TB external drive connected by FireWire, which Disk Utility indicates needs repair but DU cannot repair. Ideas?
so what does disk warrior say when you try to rebuild the directory? and you should also verify the internal drive on the mini too.

Updated apps break links with dock icons (Mac OS)

When apps are updated via the CC desktop app, they sometimes (not always) come down with a new name which causes the link in the dock to break.
This would be a nuisance with one or two apps, but when a CC user has (like I do) a dozen icons in their dock it means that every major update requires several broken dock icons to be replaced. And if (like me) the user has more than one login on their machine (for separate personal and business workspaces) then the nuisance is doubled.
For example, I have just downloaded "Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014.1", which has removed the earlier version leaving an orphaned dock icon ("Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014"), for the sake of adding ".1" to the file name.
As a general principle, version numbers do not belong in an application name; there is a perfectly good field in the file info window for version number which is where practically every other vendor puts theirs.
This comes on top of the muddle of versions which has meant there are three "current" versions of some apps, for instance Photoshop (CS6, CC and CC 2014).
The other problem with your system is that in a few short months "CC 2014" apps will be outdated, if not in practise, certainly in name.
Some creative brains need to be exercised on this, don’t leave it to the nerds.

If it happens in a new user you may be able to repair this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
