Application Folder icon missing
Not a photoshop question, but Im hoping someone can help me out?

The icon for the folder of all my applications has disappeared from the dock. I can access the apps via the finder but its not as convenient. Anyone know how to get it back again? Ive tried dragging it from the finder but that didnt work.

Ive attached a screen shot of what it looks like now

Thank you in advance
Anna

It should work by just dragging there. I tried it on mine and it worked.

I never us it anyway. I find that spotlight is the quickest way to launch apps. Especially when I need to use different machines and cannot be sure how each one is setup.

Anna, I'm not an expert of Mac, and probably Artwel's link will help. My suggestion and seems to work from here is in Finder, go and select and drag the folder with your applications/programs into the dock. I guess you might have tried this already. If so maybe it is locked. Sorry not much help, others maybe.

Thank you Artwel!! I have order once again in my universe

Dragging it from the Mac HD section did the trick.
