My dock is empty. How do I get the icons back?

The dock still appears to be there, but there are no icons. I can tell the dock is there by the size of the distorted screensaver image when I minimize or enlarge the dock. I tried to drag app icons into the dock area but they don't stick (the computer just tries to make a desktop alias of the app.) The only thing that I have done today, other than websurf and e-mail, is to back-up my phone.

Quit it before you hurt yourself.

I accidentally deleted my "clock/alarm" app. How do I get the icon back?

I was moving apps and accidentally deleted the clock/alarm app. I can "search" and get my alarms, but I still can't get the icon to move it to my home screen. How do I get the icon back?

I've looked in other folders and screens and can't locate it. I understand that there are apps that can't be deleted and this is one of them....I've tried several ways to locate it and can't.

Accidentally deleted an App Store app. how can I get the icon back on my home screen? when I search for it in the App Store it comes up 'open'. thanks.

accidently deleted an app Store app. how can I get the icon back on my home screen? in the app store it comes up 'open' instead of install.

What happens if you tap on open?
Remember, if you ever want to find an app quickly, you can slide all the way to the left (iOS 6 and lower) or pull down (iOS 7 and later) to get to an app.
If you know for certain that you have deleated the app, please try restarting your phone. There are many ways to do this, but the safest way would be to hold down the power button and then slide to power down.
Once powered down, restart and try to find the icon on your screen. If you still can't find it, go into the App Store and then find the app you were trying to access. It should have an iCloud download symbol since you've purchased it before, rather than saying "install."

Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
2. Click "Download in the app store"
3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

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.

This is a silly question, but I cannot fix it! The icons that appear on my photos after I edit them, have gone away. The only way I can see them is in the Grid view. How can I get the icons back on the thumbnail photos of the full gallery that is loaded?

You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.

Thanks for the help

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

Media folder is empty, how can I get the clips back?

The first time, this problem appeared was when I imported data in a new project. For two times the import stopped and I didn't find any clips in the media folder.
Then I succeded with importing and worked on the project several hours.
But now theres no data from this project on the computer anymore, after I had worked on it today. I didn't save any changes, just pressed "apple Z" and the i Movie window was empty, clips disappeared and stuff. The media folder is empty again and when I start iMovie it sais, that it can't find the clips.
The clips are not in the waste basket and i searched for it everywhere but i can't find them.
Do you know what could have happened and how I can get my data back?
I have an older version, iMovie 3.0.3 on Mac Pro.
Thanks for help!! (and hope you understand my school englisch)

Normally Apple-Z will undo just the last thing I've done but yesterday it deleted everything and I don't know how to get it back.
True, that is what should have happened, but in your case for some reason it cleared the lot. If there is nothing in the media folder, and nothing in the trash, then it sounds as though you have truly lost everything. The big question is really why the problem occurred in the first place.
As Lennart says, you should not still be using imovie 3.
Sorry can't be of more help.

Which Icons are these? Are you talking about the thumbnails? If so then you need to do this:
View >> Media Types
Now look for something like in this picture (click on on it to get a bigger picture) make sure there are ticks next to all of them except the Video unless you want videos to show up as well.
Good luck and post back if this did not solve the problem.

How do I get the icons back on my Reading List sidebar?

Since updating to Yosemite, I no longer have icons on the items on my Reading List Sidebar. Has anyone else encountered this issue and is there a fix that I can do to get them back.

I don't believe so. It works the same for contacts as well. I tried looking in the User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf but I cannot seem to find it right now. I cannot remember exactly where i found it, but I do know it has been some time back when I read it. I wish I could remember, but you might be able to find a reference under the section on the right here titled "More Like This".

How do i get the icons back on the left of my bookmarks. They keep turning to blank pages.

When you bookmark a page a small icon appears on the left. One day the all showed up as little blank white pages. I clicked on all the sites again to get them back but the next day they turned back to little white pages.

Press CTRL+H to open '''History '''in the sidebar and then click the '''View '''button and change the layout to "'''Last Visited'''". Then close the sidebar and see if it makes any difference to the Bookmarks layout.

Since updating to Firefox 9.0.1, the icons for bookmarked sites have vanished-in the bookmark list-how do I get the icons back?

Icons that were displayed for each bookmarked site-in the list of bookmarks-have disappeared (only the site name, not associated icon-is shown) since I upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1.
I am running a Mac with OS X 10.7.2 (Lion). I was previously using Firefox 8 with no problems.

Problem solved. Thanks!
