Safari is missing from dock; have reviewed the various discussions w/o luck

Safari appeared with a question mark over it, not sure what I did but now it's gone.  I did a spotlight search and found a Safari folder but it only contains bookmarks which i am unabe to open.  The other users on the computer do have Safari.
We have four users on our iMac.  Just noticed that on appears w/o the Safari icon but does have a question mark where the icon used to be.  The other user's page shows the utility disc on the desktop but no icon on the dock.
The only thing that comes to mind is that we recently purchased iphone's and used the user pages for these phones (iTunes).

Carolyn, thank you for you suggestions, here's the latest:
I clicked on the your blue link to Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo and restarted the Mac.  The Safari app was not in the Applications folder so I went to the download folder and started up from there but i don't what it did bc there was still no Safari.
Then I re installed Safari 5.0.5 as you noted.  In the process of installing i got the following message:
Selct the disk where you want to install the Safari Software.  Safari can't be installed on this disk.  The update requires Mac O S X 10.6.7.
One of the users still has Safari, but the other three do not.

    I am running safari 7.0.6 with IOS 10.9.4. after the mac has been asleep and I log on I cannot open safari as it appears to have crashed. the workaround to this is to reboot the IOS and log back in after which safari will open. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    Camera Roll is missing. I have lost the Camera Roll section in Photos. Any idea how I can restore Camera Roll .  I am using an iPad 3 with OS 6.01 Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your help.
    I have discovered that Camera Roll reappeared when I took a pic using my iPad camera.
    Previously I had not done that. Stupid me.
    Your attempt to help me is much appreciated.

  • The address toolbar is missing. I have followed the online guides to resolve this issue- not working. Any other ideas?

    The address toolbar is missing. I have followed the online guides to resolve this issue including disabling add-ins and extensions. The problem does not occur in safe mode. But does occur even when acceleration, all extensions & add-ins and themes are disabled. I have also reloaded firefox 4. Any other ideas?

    If the problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode, restart again in that configuration and then in the menu which appears, checkmark the option: "Disable All Add-ons". Then click the button called "Make changes and restart".
    Next, re-enable your add-ons one-by-one until the problem recurs. Then you'll know which one is the culprit.

  • When connecting to Itunes, it shows the following error: registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds are missing.  I have installed the gear drivers, uninstalled and installed itunes still showing same error.  Anything else?

    When connecting to Itunes, it shows the following error: registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds are missing.
    I have edited the registery, downloaded the Gear drivers, uninstalled and installed itunes, and the error still appears.
    What else can I do.  Cannot connect any of our iphones or ipods to itunes because of this error. 

    I have edited the registery,
    We'd better have a closer look at the keys to see what's going on.
    Can you post a screenshot of the contents of the key you've been editing, please? Include all of the regedit screen, including the left-hand column. Save the screenshot to an image file, and insert the image file in a reply by clicking the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window.

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

  • Downloads missing from dock

    Both the downloads icon and the documents icon are missing from the dock.  I try to drag them from Finder and nothing happens.  Where they should be there are very light grey bars.  This sounds odd, but I think they got pulled below the dock.  Sometime they appear in grey behind the dock but cannot be opened by clicking on them.  How do I get them back.

    (this is not going to solve it but it will help us see what you're saying. can you hit shift+cmd+4 at the same time, the cursor will become crosshairs. now hit space bar. the cursor should become a camera. place this camera on the dock, the dock should be highlighted when doing this, and click the mouse.
    A picture will be saved on your dock, upload that picture here for us to see.
    if you have your dock hidden this will not work, you'll need to right clickt he track where it separates your applications with the trash icon and then right click that go to dock preferences and then uncheck automatically hide and show dock. you can also access these settings in system preferences>dock
    should look something like this (I customized my dock so it won't look exactly like this but it will isolate your dock

  • Applications folder missing from Dock and Finder

    I was a little confused to find my applications folder missing from the Dock on my Macbook Pro today - I can't think of anything which I may have done to actively cause it to go missing. I opened up the finder and dragged the applications icon from the LHS of the finder onto the RHS of the dock, but rather than reappearing in the doc it just disappeared.
    When I went back to the finder to try again I discovered that it had vanished from there as well. I ran a search in the finder for "applications" and found the applications folder in the results, but when I try to open it I get the following error message "The alias “Applications” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
    Does anyone have any ideas on what might have caused this or on how I get my Applications folder back on the Dock? Any help would be really appreciated!

    The Applications folder on the dock is a shortcut, or more specifically, an alias.
    It sounds like what you did was to drag the Applications item from the Finder sidebar...which is also an alias. By dragging it from the sidebar, it's as if you'd dragged an icon off the dock. It poofs and disappears.
    To get them back, open a Finder window and navigate to Macintosh HD (or whatever you've named your hard drive). At the root level of the drive lives your Applications folder (the actual folder, not an alias). Drag that one to the sidebar to replace that shortcut, and drag it again to the Dock to replace that shortcut as well.
    If you click on Macintosh HD and all you see are System, Library, and Users and have no Applications folder, then something terrible has happened.

  • Why is the content missing from my messages in the Mail app?

    Yesterday, because my email addresses are changing, I modified the settings to my accounts in the email application Mail so that they properly connect to the new email addresses and settings.
    Most of the accounts are working fine. However, in one of them, it appears the content of nearly all the messages (both received and sent) are missing or not displaying. The program sees that there are different messages and lists them properly in the Inbox and Sent sections but when I try to preview or open them, a blank white screen with the message "Loading..." appears where the message content should.
    I did not delete anything that would have affected these accounts in this way, yet this is happening. I tried restarting Mail but the same problem persists. Again my other accounts in Mail seem to be fine.
    BTW, I use Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 (Lion).
    What can I do to restore the messages?

    Would rebuilding the mailbox help? Or have people not had a good experience with that?

    I am having the same issue in my iPad Mini with iOS 7. I have deleted the same books and redownloaded them several times and still have the same problem.

  • Safari 4 missing from Software Update after fresh install of OS X?

    This seems a little odd...
    I recently reset my unibody MacBook Pro with a fresh install of OS X 10.5.6 but, after restarting and going to Software Update, Safari 4 is not showing up in the list of available updates! Version 3.2.1 gets installed but doesn't show any updates? It did last week, but now it's gone?
    I know I can download it without using Software Update, I just thought it was strange that it didn't show up. Anyone else noticed this?

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The latest version of Safari - 4.0.1 requires 10.5.7.

  • I have read the various threads regarding slow boot up times, on my 2009 MBP it takes 1 minute to get a usable interface but without doing anything else the HD is active for a further minute, is this reasonable ?

    My MBP after the Lion upgrade takes 1 minute to put something usable on screen and without doing anything else the HD is active for another minute.
    I have visited the Genius bar where they went through some maintenance routines and permissions repaired etc but the boot up time remains the same.
    I have cleared the cache as suggested in other threads but is this the best I can expect as with SL the computer booted up in about 30 seconds ?
    I recall reading there may be unwanted  programs loading at boot up time but I do not know where to look in the system to check.

    Thanks for the reply, I have followed your suggestion but unfortunately it has not improved the boot time, do you have any further advice you could offer me ?
    I use my MBP for working on and storing my photographic images following my Photoshop adjustments, these individual image files are between 50 to 60Mb, I was reading about OSX self defragmenting files below 20Mb, these files are not intended as start up items but do you think storing approx 200Gb of these files could be having so effect ? I am a fromt end user so my limited knowledge is restricted to repairing permissions etc. I am probably clutching at straws but it be better to store these images on an external HD in addition to my backups on other HD's.
    Thanks.

  • Missing text markup features in the new discussions platform

    Hi guys,
    The old discussion platform provided us with ability to use some useful markup for:
    rendering a source code (with syntax coloring) - [code] ... [/code]
    rendering a text with a fixed pitch font - <tt> ...</tt>
    referencing other forum messages - {message:id=1234567}
    referencing other forum threads - {thread:id=1234567}
    referencing forums - {forum:id=83}, etc.
    I cannot find any equivalents in the new discussions platform, which makes composition of messages more difficult. Are there any equivalents?
    Dimitar

    Dimitar,
    right now there are no replacements for the old tags. You can use the advanced editor to insert code into posts (which has it's limitations). Please read How to use the forum editor to create professional documents (Tips & Hints) for some more hints.
    Links to threads and messages can simply copied into the post and the the editor will convert them to something nice. Or you use the add link button from the toolbar of the editor.
