The lost Icon

My over zealous partner had it in mind to make my mac more user friendly and took out the as he described it to me "non essential icons" from the dock. please bear with me im new to the whole mac thing. Anyway i bought a book on how to use mac os X and it said to use the "@-spring"icon and cannot find it and do not know how to replace it on the dock. can someone tell me where to find it and how to get it back onto the dock.
iMac5,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you look at my previous post, you will see that all you have to do is put Apple.com in the address bar of your browser, hit return and when it is loaded, just move the Apple icon on the left of the address bar to the dock and that's all you need to do,

Lost icon for Settings, Safari and Email

I have lost the icons for the following, and probably more. Settings, Safari and email.
I have done what might be called a "hard reset" by holding down both buttons at the same time.
I cannot use iTunes to restore, as it will not allow me to do so.
I have looked in every icon that holds a few programs, and the lost icons are not there.
I understand that scrolling will help find the settings icon, because it is there somewhere, but I have scrolled ad nauseum, and it isn't there.
I don't mind wiping it, but don't know how to do it. This is on the original iPad.

I am not sure I can offer any more help. It seems very odd that you can't find the installed icons anywhere. Just to make sure, you did not see anything in the task bar when you swiped through it? Did you have a search page and what happened when you tried to search for 'settings'. When I try that in my ipad, I will get a listing for my settings icon that I can tap and it will take me to settings.

TS1398 my 3rd generation ipod touch recently lost wifi capabilities. I reset the network settings... this did not help. I did a complete reset, I now no longer have the Safari icon on my itouch. Has Apple removed wifi on older models to force new purcha

I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset. This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out. Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustrated

This problem?

The YouTube app is no longer included in the native apps. Apple recommends you visit the website.
Perhaps google will make another app and make it available in the App Store soon, I miss it too.

HT5137 i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost colore to gray and stopped responding

i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost color to gray and stopped responding.? most of the pop up boxes will also not respond why?

Thanks Winston, restarting my router worked for me too. Seems that somehow the DCHP (maybe due to the Mountain Lion upgrade?) had assigned the same IP address to both the AppleTV and my iMac. The AppleTV stopped appearing as an AirPlay device for my iPhone and Mac, but still the AppleTV had Internet access.
Restarting the router reassigned IPs and without fanfare, the AppleTV is now available to AirPlay.

The icon was moved to Control Center, swipe the screen up from the bottom.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

HT4623 I updated my phone yesterday to ios7.0.4 and have lost the mail icon along the bottom of the screen which sits with safari, phone and the music icon. Has anyone else experienced this?

my phone is an iphone 4 and after the update to ios7.0.4 yesterday, i have lost all email facility. I dont have any email icon or button across the bottom of the phone which sits next to the phone, safari and music buttons. Has anyone else experienced this?? Thanks in advance

Hi kylie,
The Mail app cannot be deleted, so it is there somewhere. Look at all of your other Home screens to see if you can find it.
If you cannot, do a spotlight search to see if it got accidently moved into a folder: swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the search bar - type in Mail - you should see the Mail icon in the search results. If it got moved into a folder, you will see the folder name on the right side. If it is in a folder, open the folder, and tap and hold the Mail icon until it wiggles, then slide it out and back to the place where you want it to be.
If that doesn' work, you can also go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will move all of your icons into the original order that they were on the phone. You may have to move stuff around after this to where you want it to be, but all of the Apple system apps will be on the first Home screen.
Cheers,
GB

After recent upgrade i lost the contacts icon on the screen

after recent upgrade i lost the contacts icon on the screen

Before doing a Reset (which will wipe out a whole lot of things that you have to reenter) check to make sure the Contacts app didn't simply get pushed to another page by the addition of the Newstand app to the first homescreen.

Lost and then found the Settings icon on iPad 2. Can I prevent this?

I just got an iPad2 several weeks ago and love it. Today I discovered that the settings icon was gone from the Home Page. Not on the second page either.
I found some suggestions on this forum (by searching "google" which is much easier and takes you right to the thread you need),that I needed to reset the home page, but not how to do that. I had taken "iPad2 The Missing Manual" out from the Library and was able to easily find how to use spotlight to find the settings and then how to reset the home page from there, and the icon came right back. I couldn't find anything in the User Guide about how to do that. Only the statement that Setting>General has a place where you can choose what you want to reset. I'm glad I had the Missing Manual. Is there somewhere else I should have looked for this? And did I do something to cause it? The only things I am aware of that changed was that I synched the iPad to my mac yesterday and also downloaded the Xfinity Mobile App so that I can get my Comcast emails. If I know why I lost the Settings icon, maybe I can prevent it. If there isn't any reason, I'll just chalk it up as one of those "technical things" and be glad that I know now how to fix it.
Thank you

I don't think that you did anything wrong. Unless you were moving apps around and lost track of what you were putting where - that would be the only thing that you could consciously do to cause the app to move to another screen.
I have the Xfinity mobile app and never lost any app icons. I would simply chalk it up to one of those wierd things that happens from time to time when you sync.
You can download the User Guide as a free book in the iBookstore and the user guide is available as a bookmark in Safari as well. Frankly, I've not seen anything that answers every question that can come up when you are using the iPad. Google has been a great friend to me as well as has this discussion site.
