Where is my "Apple- Mac OS X" icon?

I was organizing my dock. Putting various documents into my Documents folder in my dock and somehow, I don't know how, I dragged my "Apple- Mac OS X" icon out of my dock. This icon is silver with a white "@" symbol. Could someone advise me on how to put it back onto my dock? Thanks!

maddie,
Just drag the favicon (URL) from this link->http://www.apple.com/downloads/ back to the previous location on your Dock.

  • Apple - Mac OS X icon

    I have this icon named Apple - Mac OS X on my dock. I was just curious about what is its purpose.
    Thanks

    It's a link to the Apple Website. If you drag the icon next to the web address in a browser to the right side of the dock, it creates the same sort of shortcut.

  • Want to restore Apple - Mac OS X icon to Dock

    I accidentally dragged the Apple - OS X icon off the dock, so it went poof and disappeared. In order to put it back, I assume I just drag something to the dock, but I don't know where to find that item. How do I put it back? This is the thing that looks like an @ on top of a spring, on the right side of the divider. Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    All you have to do is go to the website and then highlight the url in the address bar and drag it down to the dock and your link will reappear.
    Not sure what page it linked to though - I assume this one:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/
    If not, maybe somebody can correct me.

  • How to find and install icon in dock for access to Apple Mac OSX?

    Just next to my downloads and document stacks I had an icon Apple Mac OS X icon that when clicked automatically transferred me to Snow Leopard site at Apple.

    Thanks

  • Apple - Mac OS X Location ?

    I trashed the "Apple - Mac OS X" icon that was next to the Trashcan in the Dock.
    Now I want it back so that I can get the Leopard Sneak Peek.
    Where is it located so that I can get it back in the Dock ?

    That icon is a weblink. The one in the Dock just links to Apple's main page.
    You can add any web site to the Dock by dragging the icon next to the address from your web browser to the Dock.

  • Apple Mac Email issues since going onto Infinity

    Any Body help or know of a solution where on My Apple Mac since going onto Infinity I can not send Email's through Hotmail, on my Mail App on the Computer.
    Thanks

    When you moved to infinty did you move to a hub 3/4 after previously using a different router?  If so, the issue lies with the way the Mac presents it's name to the router.
    There is a relatively simple fix for this.  Initially, to get confirmation of if this is the issue, go to your apple menu> system preferences>network, then select your connection to the hub (airport, ethernet etc), then go to advanced in the bottom right corner, and then select DNS.  At the bottom of the dns page will be the +/- buttons.  Hit plus and then enter 8.8.8.8, google dns.  Go back to system preferences this should save the changes, then go back to advanced>TCP/IP and hit refresh dhcp lease.
    Close then re-open mail and try and send an email.  This should go out.  If it does, then it is the issue I believe it to be.
    To resolve the issue we just need to change the name of the Mac to remove invalid characters.
    Go to spotlight on the bar at the top and access terminal.  Once in Terminal type:
    scutil --set HostName DavesMac  (name is example only, but make note of it, we need it in a moment)
    Close terminal, then go back to apple menu>system preferences>sharing.  At the top of the page is an option to change the name of the Mac, so hit edit.  On the following page there will be a filed where you can enter DavesMac, enter that and hit done.  That will finish changing the name.
    Go back to system preferences>network and select your connection again.  At the top of the page it shows location.  Select that and hit the + bottom at the bottom and add a new location (home for example).  Then select that location.  Then go back to advacned>tcp/ip and hit refresh dhcp lease once more.
    Close Mac Mail, re-open and try and send, should work fine.

    If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key.  If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable.  If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
    good luck.

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

    Prices have crashed. Look and you can find Samsung 128's and others for $89 sometimes.
    It is not just moving the OS and data apart, though it does matter, and more from you should never have the OS cluttered with data, been doing that for... 35 yrs. 0.01 ns vs 10 ms. 60k IO's per second. Reads in 220MB/sec but held back from making full use of SATA 6G.

  • Where would someone turn if they think they may be interested in apple/mac software development for systems and applications?

    Where would someone turn if they think they may be interested in apple/mac software development for systems and applications? I do have some experience with industrial machine control programming. Not that it directly applies, however I have been involved in some types of programming.

    You might start by reading this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2009/feb/10/gameculture-apple
    I would check out the refurbished section of the online Apple Store before buying a used one from Craislist. They go quickly so you have to check often. It will be more than sufficent for you to work with.
    There are more than a few such books, go to a book store near you and browse them yourself to see which one works for you.
    For items 3 and 4 wait until you are ready for a commercial app and then seek help from a lawyer and an accountant.

  • TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

    ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

    I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-
