Safari icon in Dock is missing!

The icon of Safari in my dock is missing, I think it happened after it crashed (my dock auto-hides, so I'm not 100%)
I've tried re-starting, all that...
How do I get it back without 'reseting' Safari (if that even works)... or at least reseting as few of the checkboxes as possible?
By the way, Safari has been very incompatible with the internet since the update to Safari 5... Flash plugin crashes all the time - YouTube; doesn't work well with Facebook - videos, posting links, etc.; and various other bugs.
(I have the newest versions of everything - MBP, Safari, etc.)

Hello U:
Close Safari (it is open with the missing icon in your post). If the blank icon is there, drag it off the dock and then drag the Safari icon from applications to the dock.
To try to address the other problems, try trashing a preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restarting.
If the crashing continues, post the crash report. I do not read them well, but some people here can use the report to troubleshoot.

Safari icon in Dock changed

My Safari Dock icon under Leopard spontaneously (as far as I can tell) changed to a folder icon (actually the Download folder icon). I dragged the icon out of the Dock to make it disappear. Then I attempted to put the real Safari clock icon in the Dock. When the clock icon got to the Dock, the icon changed to an envelope with a sheet of paper in it. I don't know which application uses that. I can't even find that envelope icon anywhere on my iMac.
Command I on Safari shows the normal Safari clock icon as still being present.
Trying Safari as another user produced the normal Safari clock icon. I could drag the Safari clock icon from the Dock, and then replace it by dragging the Safari application icon to the dock.
What should I try next?

The Safari Clock icon does not stay in the dock on my iMac, even when I select "Keep in Dock" in the menu. Each time when I close Safari, the icon disappears after a few seconds. I have just changed to a new iMac, transferred all my content to the brand new machine, and it is still happening. My Dock preferences are synchronised across to my other machines, but in those machines the dock acts normally. Is this a corrupt preference issue? If I trash my preferences, what else goes?

The safari icon has vanished & is missing in settings

Has anyone ever heard of this? safari has just left my phone...

You might have did some security thing. Go into settings then general then restrictions set it to no restrictions.
Or if you held onto the icon you could have moved it to another page. You can't delete it.

Safari icons on dock...

Hi there,
Is it possible anyway changing the default (@) icon by another one or even the small icon that shows up in some sites (Apple logo for instance) ?
Many Thanks!

Got it,
If you choose to change or replace these icons you should backup the original ICNS files, keep record about original permissions and for new ones set the same dimensions, color space, color profile, alpha channel and any other proprieties.
In fact you should change the icons for the saved locations as mentioned before and do not change the following files - this list I found in my Mac, yours may find differences in yours.

My safari icon has vanished?

Safari is no longer on my phone? It is missing in settings also. How do I retrieve it? Do I have to reset my phone?

Check if under the General tab in the settingsa app, if you have restrictions on. If so check if it turned off Safari, if so problem solved. But if not the first thing I would then try would be to hold the home and lock button down for about 20 seconds, allowing the phone to restart, and then see if the icon comes back

Safari icon missing on the dock???

Safari icon not on the appl

Spotlight can find it for you. Magnifying glass in near the upper right corner of the Menubar.

I can no longer hold down the Safari icon on the dock and open a new window

I noticed after installing Snow Leopard that I am unable to hold down the icon for Safari on my dock and choose the option to open a new window. I have had to revert to (Command-Tabbing) through my open applications to get to Safari, then (Command-N).
I found it much more convenient to do it the other way. Am I missing something, or is this something that has been removed with the new Snow Leopard operating system?
Please help. Thanks!

Thank you. What a pain though. Why would they make it a separate command now. It would be so easy to have kept it in the pop-up that shows when you hold the cursor down on it.

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.

IPad mini missing App Store and safari icons after update

Safari should be in the Dock.
There's only one Safari app.

First, it might be you simply put Safari in a folder somewhere. Try searching for it using Spotlight. Drag down on the screen to display the Spotlight search bar and type "Safari". If you see Safari, it is still accessible on your iPad. If not, try the following.
Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
Finally, if that doesn't help, try turning off restrictions, then turning them back on.

I have three Safari icons. Two in the dock and one on the desktop. How do I eliminate them?

One from the dock and the one on the desktop.

the desktop item will not delete or "move to trash"
In Finder, select the item. Choose File > Get Info (or do ⌘I). Look under General > Kind. Does it read "Alias" or does it read "Application (Intel)"?
If the latter, then it is likely that you're not allowed to delete because it's actually open. Quit Safari. Check if there is an item called Safari in your </Applications> folder. (In Finder, you can get directly to the Applications folder using ⇧⌘A -- that's Shift-Command-A.) Check if it's an application. If it is, then you have an unneeded copy of Safari. You can delete the one on your Desktop. If there isn't, them move the one on the Desktop to the Applications folder -- that's where it belongs.

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.

Safari icon Pops up on the left side of the dock, how to turn it off

I'm constantly getting this icon popping up on the left side of my Dock on my iMac at work.
When clicking the Safari icon, it will open a webpage where one of my colleges is working on.
How can I turn it off because it constantly shifts the icons on my dock to the right and when it
disappears after about 3 second everything moves again to the left. This is happening about
a couple of times a minute and it drives me crazy.
