Recovering applications lost after choosing "clear menu"

To get rid of some documents I chose "clear menu" but it didn't expect to lose applications also listed. It was late and I was tired. Now I have question marks for Safari, Mail, and Microsoft Word and cannot use any of them. How do I get them back?
I think I was either in "Recent folders" or in "Yesterday" under "Go" in the Finder.
Help! I'm using my wife's iBook to post this question.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*"I have question marks for Safari, Mail, and Microsoft Word and cannot use any of them"*
Do you mean there are ? marks in your Dock where the applications icon used to be? If so, just drag those ? marks off the Dock. Then go to your Applications folder and launch Safari. With Safari open, click the Safari icon in the Dock and then click; Keep In Dock. Do that for Mail and Microsoft Word also.
Hopefully you didn't delete the application from the hard drive. If you did you need to reinstall those apps.
Reinstalling applications that came with your Mac
If you delete an application that came with your Mac, and then need to reinstall it, try any of the following suggestions.
Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the package that installs bundled software or additional software. A package has an icon that looks like an opened box.
Follow the onscreen instructions. If you see a pane with a Customize button, click Customize and select the application you want to install. If you see a pane that lets you choose what to install, click the disclosure triangle beside Applications and select the application you want to install.
You will have to reinstall MWord from the install disk. Hopefully, that won't be necessary.

  • All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

    All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

    Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I  restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

    How to recover application that had an x on it. it was deleted from my dock

    Hi katana,
    Go into your Finder under Applications:
    Click on iPhoto to open it - it will go to your Dock. Click and hold down on the icon on the Dock, and you will see "Options". Click on that, and then select "Keep in Dock". Do the same with PhotoBooth. You should be all set!

  • Lost password need clear, step by step instructions

    I need clear and exact steps to reset my password. I put in the install disc for mac os that came with the computer. I held down the C button. the choose language page was there, choose English. but all the instructions say that from that point on, after I hit "continue" after choosing the language, there is supposed to be a utilities menu but that is not the page that appears.
    what appears is Mac OS installer with the icons for: Time machine, mail, finder, dvd and something that is acquire with four smaller squares inside. Clicking on any of those does not do anything.
    the choices on this page are: more information, and continue. MOre information just tells you various websites to go to. Continue takes me to an agreement page and I click Agree to be taken to
    "select destination" SO WHERE THE HECK IS THE Utilities menu?
    the support and book directions say one thing but they don't happen as they say.
    can someone PLEASE tell me how to reset the **** password in clear, step by realistic step process?
    Why can't apple or any of the support people not say what happens as it really happens.
    you would think it is so simple -2 steps- but that is NOT true.
    Please, someone help.
    there is nothing to support the book and support forum steps. as I said there is NO OPTION for a menu or to choose Utilities. the only option is
    to reinstall the OS system and that is NOT IN THE DIRECTIONS!
    Does Apple even care that their instructions don't match the experience?

    no. they are not

  • How do I recover a lost folder?

    How do I recover a lost folder on my MackBook Pro, (2011, Yosemete 10.10.2) ?  I was cleaning up a folder when suddenly it was gone!  "Finder" can not find it.  It is not in Trash.  It is gone!  Help Please!!!

    You can restore a JSON backup in Firefox if you have such a backup.<br />
    * Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
    Restoring a JSON will however replace all the current bookmarks.<br />
    If you have any that you want to preserve then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and re-import that HTML backup after you have restored the JSON backup.<br />
    Make sure that a JSON backup has .json file extension and that an HTML backup has a .html fle extension to avoid problems (nothing happens or you get an error like can't process the backup file).

  • Data lost after several days running!

    data lost after several days running
    ENV:
    Service Pack 1 for Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0
    Tomcat5.5
    Problem:
    There is no problem to export the report as PDF files in the first few days after i upgraded the CR4E.
    But after several days running,the problem appeared : the exported PDF file was incomplete!
    It's supposed to 3 pages,but only 1 page(the first page) exported actually.
    When i restarted the tomcat,the problem disappeared.In several days running,
    the problem appeared again...
    Code:
    reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
    reportClientDoc.open(Messages.getString("tmpltPath")+tmplt_name, OpenReportOptions._discardSavedData);     
    RptHelp  rptHelp = new RptHelp();
    rptHelp.setDatabaseCtrl(reportClientDoc);
    rptHelp.addDiscreteParameterValue(reportClientDoc,"","userName","admin");
    rptHelp.addDiscreteParameterValue(reportClientDoc,"","start_date",start_date);
    rptHelp.addDiscreteParameterValue(reportClientDoc,"","end_date",end_date);

              rptHelp.addDiscreteParameterValue(reportClientDoc,"",p_name<i>,p_value<i>);
    String exportPath = Messages.getString("reportExportPath");
    String exportName = "test";
    rptHelp.export(reportClientDoc, exportPath+exportName, file_extention);

    int len = (int)file.length();
    byte[] data = new byte[len];
    int read = 0;
    while (read <len) {
        read += in.read(data, read, len-read);
    in.close();

    OutputStream ops = response.getOutputStream();
    ops.write(data);
    ops.flush();
    ops.close();
    out.clear();
    out = pageContext.pushBody();

    What is the data? What is displaying the data (graph or chart)? What does your code look like? Why did you post a 4M image to the forum?
    NaN in the data will appear as gaps in plots.

  • How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages?  The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

    How do I recover a lost font in pages?  The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders.  None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages.  At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find.  Would greatly appreciate help!
    thanks much,  Eilert

    Thanks for the idea, fruhulda.  I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there.  However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened.  At any rate, the problem is now gone.

  • I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality.  I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big.  ??????

    I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file.  After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality.  What am I doing wrong.  As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send.  HELP! Please.

    If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
    You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
    If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

  • Application lost existing session due to new jsession id.

    Hi Team,
    We have three linux box in production and each box contains apache and weblogic managed server.
    IP and apache port is configured in our ACE load balancer.
    -----A1---M1
    |
    ACE- --|-----A2---M2
    |
    -----A3---M3
    A1,A2,A3-Apache servers, M1,M2,M3 - Managed servers.
    apache version is 2.2.22 and weblogic version is 11G. mod_wl.so is used to redirect from apache to weblogic.
    Each apache will redirect to corresponding managed server.
    Our application(java based) is deployed in weblogic cluster.
    when the user test the application via load balancer, it cater the request to apache and apache redirect to managed server.
    The problem is new jsession id is creating in between some request and application lost our existing session
    we have captured http headers and have seen new cookie created in response header.
