Preview icon was gone from dock

Hi everyone
I have a problem with Mountain Lion. When I opened a pdf documents with Preview, it worked fine. After I closed the document (without quitting Preview) then I clicked on desktop, the Preview icon was gone from the dock. But when I opened Force quit menu, the Preview app was still on.
What should I do? It didn't happen before
Thanks

Right. This is how Applications are supposed to work. So you want Preview to behave the same, but in your situation it is disappearing from the Dock even though its clearly still running in the background (ie, as is evident when you open the force-quit window)?
This could be a problem with the Dock's settings, or those for the Preview application itself.
If you create a new user account for testing purposes (in the Users & Groups system preferences) and log into that account, does the same problem happen when running Preview?

  • My safari icon is gone from dock on iphone 4

    I can't get any tech support on the phone, nothing interactive online

    You cannot delete it.
    It is likley on another page, in a folder, or you have restrictions set.
    If you do not find it in these places then reset your home screen layout.

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

    my address book icon is gone from the screen on my blackberry pearl..please help me recover. Thanks

    Make selective backup
    save only data that you need to be saved.
    After that on the device go to Options - Security Options - General Settings
    Hit the menu button and select "Wipe handheld"
    It will wipe the device memory.
    After that restore the saved information to the device.

  • My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open.

    My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open. I'm on OS 10.10.3. I've tried reinstalling and also various fixes suggested on this forum but to no avail. Incredibly frustrating to be paying monthly for a product that doesn't work.

  • My creative cloud icon has gone from the menu bar on top right hand side of screen

    the creative cloud icon is gone from the menu bar?  How can I get it back?

    Sometimes too many open apps will hide it, but if it closed,
    Restart the Creative Cloud app. Look for it in Spotlight.

  • Blackberry 8330 icons are gone from display, no menu, nothing. Help

    As of 10/10/2011 all my icons are gone from my main display screen EXCEPT Applications (which doesn't open anything if I click on it--in fact I then lose that icon as well) and the Profiles icon.  A hard reset doesn't do anything to fix the problem.

    Hello,
    There is no Autoloader to remove from your device...Autoloaders are apps on the PC that load, to the device, a specific OS package. But the Autoloader itself is not resident on the device at all. So, your remedy would most likely to be to use a different AutoLoader for a different OS level and see if that does not display this same problem for you.
    You did not reveal the specific OS level you are discussing...please note that if it is anything beyond the presently officially released levels (e.g., a "leak"), then it is not supported and is also against the Ts and Cs of this site to be discussed here.
    Good luck!

    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: Reinstall OS X

    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,

  • Desktop Icon gone from Dock, How do I get it back?

    I accidentally removed my "view desktop" icon from the dock. I can't seem to find where/how I can replace the view desktop icon back into my dock. Please help. Thanks.

    If you mean the Dashboard icon. It would be in your Applications folder, just drag it to the Dock. Is this the one you're talking about? Because the Finder icon can't be accidentally removed from the Dock and there is no "Desktop" icon on your Dock.
    There is a Desktop on the Sidebar of your Finder window and you could accidentally delete that. If that's the case go to your Home folder and drag it back to the Sidebar. Or go to Finder menu >> Preferences >> Sidebar and check mark it.

  • Preview Build Section gone from Windows Tech Preview

    So, I noticed that after updating to Windows Tech Preview Build 9860, the preview build section is gone from my settings in zPC settings. Is this a glitch or did Microsoft temporally remove it? Thanks.

    It's there, you're just not looking in the right place.
    There are two settings Apps - PC Settings and zPC Settings.
    Look in PC Settings, under
    Update and recovery.  The Preview builds section is there in build 9860.

    Hi there
    recently my hard drive icon has disappeared from my Macbook Pro (10.7.4) desk top and does not show up in spotlight or finder searches! I have tried several fixes posted online for earlier operating systems with no luck.

    Help!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    In "finder" click "finder" then "preferences" and navigate to the "general" tab.
