Where would my apps go after i dragged them off my doc

I recently downloaded microsoft word and all the other apps that came with it. i dragged them off the bottom doc onto my home screen and now i dont know where to find them... where did they go

The Icons on your Dock are just "shortcuts", what Apple has termed, and "alias" of the application file and icon located somewhere else. When you drag them off the dock, and onto the descktop, they are deleted from the Dock. But you are only deleting the Alias, not the application itself.
Most Applications are found in your root/applications folder. However, if you install an application just for one user, it may be found in an applications folder located in your user directory, under that users name.
To create an alias again in the Dock, for one you mistakenly deleted, simply click and drag the application icon, from its respective folder, back into a place on the Dock. You can also drag data folders, to the right hand side of the Dock, making a shortcut to that folder.

    Not ure what this has to do with iPhoto. Perhaps you'd be better off asking on the forum for your MacBookPro.

  • I can't get rid of icons in Places -- according to the manual, you're supposed to be able to just drag them off and they go "Pouf!" and disappear. But no...

    I can't get rid of icons in Places -- according to the manual, you're supposed to be able to just drag them off and they go "Pouf!” and disappear. But no...

    Just "ctrl" and mouseclick the desired icon and select "Remove from Sidebar" from the little pop up window.. That should do the trick (in your vertical "PLACES" column)
    NB: if you want to get rid of icons on the top (horizontal) bar of your finder window, then you need to go to the item with the mouse, press "cmd" ("apple" key) and drag the icon off the finder window onto your desktop and let go (if you want the "Pouf!" effect

  • TS4147 I keep finding old contacts on my iPhone even after I delete them off iCloud.  What's up?

    I keep finding old contacts on my iPhone even after I delete them off iCloud.  What's up?  Why do they keep appearing?

    Have you cleaned out the dock connector of any fluff or junk in there?

  • I turned restrictions on for in app purchases, I've turned them off via my iPhone but it won't turn them off on my ipad

    HI, I turned on restrictions to stop in app purchases, I've now turned them off on my iPhone using my code but it's still on, on my ipad (on the same user) the code won't work on the ipad so I'm really confused as I've not touched the restrictions on the actual ipad itself just through my phone. Can someone help?!? Thanks

    Restriction settings do not sync across devices.
    The iPad has a restriction code that is different to that of the iPhone. Someone set it up there, and it has nothing to do with the iPhone.
    If you don't remember what it is, then the only way to remove it, is to restore the iPad to Factory Condition.
    If you have a backup made before the restriction passcode was put in place, you can restore to that.

  • Where did my apps go after upgrade of iPhone 4 to OS 5?

    After going through the process of backing everything up and upgrading the software, my apps are gone.  When I go into the app store, the apps i had show install not a price or free, so there is something clearly indicating i had these apps.,  However the data associated with them is gone if i download them
    Is this what i should have expected?  Is there a way to get the apps and their data back?
    Thanks

    I found that the iPhone appeared to have finished syncing, but in fact the apps were still being copied back to the phone from iTunes. If you wait a while (with the phone connected to your computer), you may find that they just keep appearing. Mine took about 30 mins.

  • Why won't my apps open after I updated them ?

    A few days ago I updated all my apps that needed updates (about 14). However , 2 of those apps didn't update right away (Flixster and TheScore sports) and an error message was displayed which I stupidly did not read and just pressed ok. After I pressed Ok the 2 apps were updated, however there was a problem , they would not open. If I click on the icon literally nothing happens , it turns a shade darker for a few seconds and then goes back to how it was. No screen or anything opens up when I try to open both Flixster and TheScore. At first I thought it was the app so I tried to download the same app on my friends phone but it worked perfectly fine. I also tried to delete the app and re-download it again , but it still won't open. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this ??

    Nevermind , I tried a soft reset and everything was fixed

  • Where did my ringtones go after I downloaded them from VCast tones?

    I just recently bought a LG Lucid.  This is my first smartphone, so it's a big change coming from a basic phone.  I recently purchased some ringtones from the VCast tones app on my phone, but now I can't find them anywhere.  When I go into my recent purchases from VCast, they are both there.  But if I open up my ringtones/downloads they're not listed.  Does anyone know where I can find them?

    Try installing a file explorer from the Play Store. The ringtones might have saved to a location different then the standard download folder. You can use the file explorer app to search the phone storage.
    Estrongs or Astro are the well known ones.

  • Apps crash after I launch them

    I get this one alot
    I tap an app to launch it, it starts to open. sometimes makes to main screen but then dumps me out to springboard
    for example, i launch weatherbug and it crashes
    i launch it 3 more times, 3 rd time it remains open
    i launch we rule, same problem
    so I hard reset the ipad.
    but same exact problem.
    this happens on all apps i download from app store.
    sometimes it crashes and other times it wont.
    i launch facebook, works fine.
    a few hours later i launch facebook and it crashes to the springboard.
    I would say this happens on every single app store app I have d/l but does not happen on the native OS apps. it seems to be app store related, perhaps they are buggy and not iPad perfect yet as i imaghine most are not ported yet.
    but then, those that are ipad aware or specific still have the odd behavior.
    simple workaround is to keep relaunching the app until it works but it really ***** when ya trying to impress a friend...to demo it and the stupid app crashes 3 times in a row
    this happening fairly regular for me. i would say I can make this issue happen at least 1 to 2 times an hour easily.
    anyone else see?

    if i memba that was an issue when the iphone was jailbroken
    to to get round that issue, ppl would sync up a free app which lets the illegal apps sync
    this is not related to that
    i have rest my ipad
    so theres nothing on it
    i go to app store download an app
    i launch it several times and on the 8th it crashes
    this is the common problem i have that apps in a random fashion fail to launch completely and require i relaunch them until it sticks.
    its not just some apps, it seems to happen to all apps i buy from app store, iphone or ipad specific it does not matter.
    i'm tempted to walk into an apple store and show the genius dude, see if he has seen it before.
    same exact app that fails to open on ipad, works on iphone. altbought i have seen it happen on iphone, its not common, but on ipad i get it often.

  • Attachments -- why can I drag them off on one computer but not another??...

    Hello -- I have two different Mac Pro's, an iBook and a Snow iMac. (Everything running OS X 10.5.7 except the iMac is 10.3.9.) On most of the computers, when I look at an email in Mail that has an mp3 attachment, I can just click-and-drag it right onto the desktop, no problem. But on ONE Mac Pro I get the annoying message about "Do you want to download this?", so I click Download, and most of the time it does not download, though sometimes it will & iTunes opens up. BUT, I would prefer to just drag the attachment out of the email. I can't seem to find a Pref to tweak... Anybody got a solution for this annoyance? Thank you very much in advance.

    I'm pretty sure we're using a generic ethernet module:
    I can communicate explicitly with the problem computer, it's able to use 'Tag Read' and 'Tag Write' to communicate with the PLC.
    We started having another problem just recently too. The Tag Read and Write commands are almost always timing out. I keep getting the error message -251723752:
    Detailed error info: Error -251723752 occurred at EthernetIP Tag Read REAL.vi;Details: The request response was not received in the requested timeout period    Possible reason(s):  Ethernet/IP Industrial Protocol: (Hex 0xF0FF0018) The request response was not received in the requested timeout period
    I can't figure out what's causing this all of a sudden, could these issues be related?

    Hi SarahElizabeth18,
    If you are getting errors about there not being enough space on your device, you may want to check to see if Other data is unusually large. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Where does my pictures go when I save them off facebook?

    It says downloading complete but I can find my pictures.

    I was having the same issue and just figured it out.  There's a setting you have to turn on to allow Facebook to access your photos.  One it's turned on it starts working.  Here is the location:
    Settings > Privacy > Photos > turn facebook to ON

  • Where does form execution continue after executing NEW-FORM-INSTANCE triggr

    I am debugging a form and trying to find where a certain Procedure is being called. I'm unable to locate the procedure by searching in the "Find and Replace in Program Units". I cannot execute the form in Debug mode because of the Oracle environment. So I have embedded message alerts in strategic triggers in the form. I have followed execution to track the offending call statement and executed after the exit from NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger and before the NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE triigger of the primary block.
    Where should i look next? Where would program execution go after NEW-FORM-INSTANCE?
    Thanks,
    Uday

    I cannot execute the form in Debug mode because of the Oracle environment. Not sure I understand this. Can you run your form from the Forms Builder? If yes, then you should be able to run the form using the debugger. If no, then I recommend you use the "Remote Debugging" feature of Forms and debug your form while it is running on the application server. So long as the CLASSPATH on the server is setup correctly, all you need to do is pass DEBUG=YES in the URL. For more details on using Remote Debugging, see My Oracle Support document id: 221399.1 (Debugging Applications Remotely).

  • How do I get music back onto my ipad after I took it off to update to iOS5?

    How do I get my itunes purchases back onto my ipad after I took them off in order to update to iOS5?

    As long as all the music you expect to be on the device after a sync/update is still in your iTunes library on the computer, it should be easy to resolve your conundrum.  Navigate to the MUSIC tab of the iTunes sync preference screens and make sure the box to 'Sync Music' is checked along with any other preferences you may need to set to sync the music you want back on the device.  Also, make sure you know if you have either the 'Manually Manage' or 'Sync Only Checked Songs And Videos' boxes checked on the SUMMARY tab of the sync preference screens because that affects how you decide what music you are syncing back to the device.  You can get to the sync preference screens by clicking on the name of your device along the left hand side of the iTunes window when your device is connected to the computer.  Hope that helps !
