Questions on my dock bar

On several of my program icons like microsoft powerpoint and entourage there is a question mark that appears when I click on it, I can't do anything with the application because that is all that happens.  It also happens on a open file from micosoft project gallery sitting on my dock (the file is stuck open my dock since the question mark on the icon first appeared)  It is the first one I noticed.  Do you know what to do to get my icons back to normal?

Also I lost two programs from my dock bar and spoke to you guys but still was unable to find them but I found a file OFfice recovery 2008 which I thought might help me (the lost programs were microsoft 2008 word and microsoft 2008 excel) but the fille office recovery 2008 somehow got sent to the trash and now I don't know how to get it out and see what it is.  Do you know if it might be able to help me and also if you could direct me on how to get it out of the trash that would be great.  I also have another application downloaded form the internet that I can't shut on my dock bar.  Help would be great.  Thank you.

  • Question Mark on docking bar

    There is a big question mark on my docking bar and when I hover the arrow over it says Garageband. How would I delete this since I deleted the garageband application off my computer.

    Thanks! I'm a new mac user and I am still trying to figure out everything. Thanks again.

  • Question about dock bar when using external screen

    Hey.
    For a while now, I have been using an external monitor with my 24" iMac. It has been running fine and the dock bar has been on the iMac's display along with the menu bar.
    Today, I switched it around and when I plugged the screen back in, the dock bar moved over to the external screen, leaving the menu bar in the iMac's display :S
    I have tried looking at the Screen settings, but so far it has not helped. I have tried unplugging the screen and putting it back in as well as trying to put the menu bar to the external display and back to the iMac's to see if the Dock bar followed. Alas, nothing happened
    Anybody have any idea what I need to do? Kind of a drag to have my dock bar on my lousy 17" screen... Thank you
    Best regards,
    Jesper

  • I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

    Hi
    I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
    I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
    This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

  • Disappearing Tool Bar and Docking Bars

    While using Mail, my toolbar slides away, as does my docking bar.  I can't seem to find anything in Preferences to correct this.  Help!
    Thanks.

    Application is in Full Screen mode.
    When an Application is in Full Screen mode, Menu bar, Toolbar and Dock will be hidden.
    Move the cursor to the top and click the blue double arrow icon to get back to the normal window mode
    or press esc key at the top left corner of the keyboard.
    Clicking the gray double arrow icon at the top right corner of the window will make window Full Screen.

  • Cannot add items to DOCK. Dock bar near end?

    I cannot add items to the dock and the dock bar is near the end of the dock listing. I cannot move the bar.

    Please clearify...
    You can move the doc with the Dock system preferences to left, bottm, or right.  Or using something like TinkerTool vertically left side or right side.
    As for adding items, generally applications are to the left of the divider (toward the right end) and other stuff to the right of the divider.  You add stuff by dragging it into the dock and option drag it out to remove it (or control click and use the options contextual). 
    Are thses things not working for you?

    the dock bar appears as an overlay on the excell spreasheet and it is really annoying.  How do I get rid of it.

    Pressing Option +  Command  + D will hide the Dock. Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen will temporarily reveal it. Same key combo will return it.

  • I am resurrecting my old iMacG5 for my grandson. Appleworks has question mark in dock and does not load from bundled software on original installation discs. Can anyone help?

    I am resurrecting my old iMacG5 for my grandson. Appleworks has question mark in dock and does not load from bundled software on original installation discs. Can anyone help?

    I'm sorry no-one has answered you yet - I'm afraid I don't know the answer to the question: but I wanted to put into your mind that starting up with AppleWorks at this stage isn't a good idea. The program was 'end-of-lifed' years ago, it won't run on Lion, and some of the document types created in it - Databases in particular - cannot be opened at all by any other program whatever. Word Processing documents can be opened in Pages, and Spreadsheets in Numbers (with some reservations in both cases), but building up a collection of AppleWorks documents at this stage is going to lead to problems later on.
    It's difficult to know what to recommend for a PowerPC machine that would still be compatible with modern ones. An older version of Microsoft Office, perhaps, if you can find one which will run on PPC; but most of the modern Word Processors are Intel only. This is something you would need to investigate.

  • I have forgot my security questions but the reset bar does not show

    i have forgot my security questions but the reset bar does not show

    If you aren't getting the reset link on your account then you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • My menu and dock bar disappear when using safari

    For some reason when I use safari both my menu and dock bar disappear!?! Is this a new update and if not (or if so) can I get them both back while browsing the web? Also both menu bars will reappear when I scroll over them and I am able to "turn off hiding" on the dock bar; however, the dock bar disappears again once I switch to another program (pages, etc.). Then I have to go back and turn off hiding again. I can't get the menu bar to stick around at all. Please help!

    This has happened to me before and it took me a long time to work it out.
    But all you need to do is froce quit safari or any application that this is happening to and start the application again.
    Hope it works.

  • Moving Dock Bar

    I just upgraded to 10.9 and I have a Cinema Display and Thunderbolt Display connected to my MBP. For some reason the dock bar keeps randomly shifting around and the only way to fix it is to kill the dock though the console. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone have a solution? Thanks!

    what do you mean moving around? around your screen or from screen to screen?
    the new multiple displays feature bring the dock to all your displays, because they are now treated as separate spaces to support multiple displays and fullscreen apps.
    you might want to either get used to this new change or turn it off in system preferences>mission control and turn off "display have separate spaces"
