Program icons on the Dock

i loaded office for MAC as an administrator and it shows on my dock.  How do I get it to show on other users dock and make it stay on the dock?

Can the other users use the program? If so, while the app is running and its icon is on the Dock, have them right-click or Control-click the icon in the Dock. A smallish popup menu will appear. From the Options item in that menu select "Keep in Dock".

  • Program icon on the dock + program un-installation

    I installed a couple of programs on the pc and some have programs icons on the dock all the time and some do not (only there when you use it). How can I put the program icon on the dock?
    In addition, how can I uninstall a program correctly?
    Thanks!

    How can I put the program icon on the dock?
    When a program is on the Dock, control-click or click and hold on it and choose Keep in Dock from the menu which appears, or drag it to the left side of the Dock if it isn't there already.
    In addition, how can I uninstall a program correctly?
    Unless you used an installer, drag the application to the Trash. If you used an installer, find an uninstaller on the program's disk or downloadable dmg, or use this application to uninstall it.

  • Multiple iPhoto libraries when I click on the iPhoto icon in the dock.

    I see four iPhoto libraries when I right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock, but I only actually have two libraries.  The other two simply do not exist on my computer.  And when I click on the libraries that do not exist, obviously nothing happens.  In the image below, only the bottom two libraries are actual photo libraries.  The top two (iPhoto Spain and iPhoto Library) do not exist.
    I have relaunched Finder, restarted the computer, and even restored the entire computer from my Time Machine backup.  Nothing changes.  No matter what I try, the non existent iPhoto libraries continue to be present when I right click the iPhoto icon in the dock.  BTW, only two bottom two iPhoto libraries in the attached image are in the Pictures folder.
    How do I get rid of those two non existent iPhoto libraries from the Dock.

    this happened after i hard shutdown with some multiple programs running which froze everything after powering back up the blue folders showed up
    how do i safely remove these folders?
    i imported 3 sets of photos and in the background processes were running which froze everything then i forced shutdown by holding down the power button.

  • Can't drag an icon to the dock

    I am a recent Mac convert and I just set up user profiles on my Mac Mini for my two kids. My son plays Pirates of the Caribbean online. I installed it on the Mac and when I opened the applications folder and tried to drag the icon into the doc it wouldn't drag and I got an error message saying I couldn't launch the application from there. I wasn't trying to start it from there, only drag it. There was no problem performing the same task with Safari. I also had no problem dragging the icon to the dock under my user profile (admin.) Does anyone have any ideas of what I need to do to fix this?
    Thanks!

    If you have Parental Controls turned on you must explicitly allow an application to launch. You've downloaded a new program and by default it cannot be run. You'll need to open Parental Controls, find the program in the list of applicaitons, and put a checkmark on it to give permission to it to run.
    Also when you get application update alerts and update a program, be sure to try running it immediately. Sometimes Parental Controls will see an updated program as being totally new and you'll need to go back in and set its permission again.

  • Replacing the Applications Icon in the Dock, not just with an Applications alias--two different things

    There is at least one answer to my question posted here, except it's not quite accurate. I too accidentally yanked my Applications folder from the Dock (which, by the way, is very easy to do, so in the way is the Dock. It's just very easy to drag it or any other icon in the dock out accidentally while working in a another programs, most particularly perhaps while working furiously back and forth across the screen in a grahics program. And hiding the Dock doesn't help because one is constantly bumping the sides of the screen with the mouse. In fact, choosing to hide the Dock might make matters worse because one forgets it's there. That's what happened--I accidentally grabbed it and pulled it out.
    I thought to put back an alias out of Finder and it works okay, but not like before. The old Applications icon wasn't just an alias (and I don't recall there being a shortcut symbol attached to the old Applications Icon). Now when I click on it I don't get the balloon that used to pop up dislaying all of my program as large icons. Instead I just get a Finder-style list of my applications such that it's harder to locate the program I want to use.
    What I really want back is the old Icon that worked as it used to work and that installs with the orginal installation of Snow Leopard. Does anyone know how to get that one back? Thanks,

    FYI - All Dock icons are aliases, however they don't show the curly arrow.
    To view your folder contents as you wish, right-click on the icon and choose the view options -
    "display as" 'folder' will just show the folder, 'Stack' will show the first application in the folder (usually Adress Book).
    View contenta as - list or grid - no fan option when the Dock's at the side (as it sounds like yours is).
    EDIT
    Incidentally, if you've dragged an alias to the Dock instead of the actual folder from Finder, you now have an alias pointing to another alias pointing to the Applications folder.
    Bit unnecesary.

  • Why don't the indicator lights come on under the icons in the Dock anymore?

    Hi,
    A seemingly silly question, but it's bugging me.
    The indicator lights under the icons in the Dock have stopped lighting up when a program is active. How do I turn them back on?
    Thanks!

    Did you try logging out and back in again? That should clear it up.

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • Seeing multiple iPhoto libraries when I click on the iPhoto icon in the dock?

    I can't figure out why I am seeing multiple iPhoto libraries when I click on the iPhoto icon in my dock.  I am running Lion on an early 2008 MacBook Pro (4 GB RAM), and when I click and hold on the iPhoto icon in the dock, it brings up a dialog box.  From top to bottom, this is what I see:
    iPhoto Library
    iPhoto LIbrary
    iPhoto Library
    Options
    Show Recents
    Open
    I can't figure out why it shows three iPhoto libraries when I only have one on my computer.  I've tried deleting the icon from the dock and then putting it back in the dock, but it still shows three libraries for some reason.  If I search for iPhoto in spotlight search or in finder, it only shows one iPhoto (in the applications folder).  Any help on how to resolve this weird issue would be much appreciated!

    I have the same issue.  I see four iPhoto libraries when I right click on the iPhoto icon in the dock, but I only actually have two libraries.  The other two simply do not exist on my computer.  And when I click on the libraries that do not exist, obviously nothing happens.  In the image, only the bottom two libraries are actual photo libraries.  The top two do not exist.
    I have relaunched Finder, restarted the computer, and even restored the entire computer from my Time Machine backup.  Nothing changes.  No matter what I try, the non existent iPhoto libraries continue to be present when I right click the iPhoto icon in the dock.  BTW, there are only two iPhoto libraries in the pictures folder.
    This is very frustrating and annoying.

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

    I did a force close on Safari and after rebooting my macbook pro, i no longer see the Safari icon on the dock.  How do i get i back?

    If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.

  • How do I get an iCloud icon onto the dock for my MacBook Pro?

    I assume the easiest way to access iCloud is by putting an icon onto my MacBook Pro DOCK.   Is this correct?  And if it is, how do I install the icon onto the Dock?

    There is no iCloud application, therefore no iCloud icon. Think of it as a 'service' that is accessible thru other applications, preferences and devices.
    If you use the iCloud web site a lot, you could add an icon to the web site.

    I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

    Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
    If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
    Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
    Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
