Hi - I am sure this is simple to fix, for those who know how!
I have always had iphoto appear in my dock until 2-3 days ago. For
some reason it no longer shows.
I went into finder and clicked make alias (assuming I could then
drag or drop or similar an alias (copy) into the dock.
Hi Peta,
instead of dragging the alias onto the dock, drag the original item
there.
An alias is a small file that points to the original application,
document or even a server. You can use them to create shortcuts to
launch the actual items.
When you accidentally lost iPhoto from the
Thanks for this Eugene.
Unfortunately, your suggestion did not work!
I dragged the alias of iPhoto into Trash.
Then I (at least 8 times) tried dragging my iPhoto from within Finder,
down into the dock. It did not stay and remained in Finder.
I just know there is a way, however that way is

Hi Peta
IF you find you can't drag and drop it into the dock (Applications must go
on left side and files and folders go on the right hand side of the little
line). The other way you can do it is to Double Click and open the
Application iPhoto. Once it's running either Command click or right
Sorry guys, my brain has now seized up. This is very late at night
for me. I tried Daniel's and Robert's suggestions.
Well I tried to; didn't quite catch up to where either of them were.
I now have in my dock a Preview of the picture we get with iIPhoto
and another little logo in front -
Hello Peta,
When you drag the iPhoto Application (from your Applications) to the
Dock, don't drop it on the dock until a space appears, then drop the
iPhoto Application.

Hi Ronni
Thank you so much for replying.
Sadly we still do not have Lift Off!
I opened Macintosh HD - yes - iPhotos wording shows there.
I went through Finder and opened Applications.

Hi Peta, the set up on your computer sounds so confused and out of
place that I would suggest that you need to have someone come there
and sort it out for you. Its difficult to help when your computer does

able to have a look.
Don't empty your trash with the iPhoto Library in it - just in case

Hi Peta ,
The various helpers have been making some assumptions when offering
suggestions ,

system .
So that we all know what you have would you please go to the top line

Hello Peta,
I agree with Susan Eugene. Your computer appears to have things in
the wrong places. We cannot help you without actually seeing where
things are and are not. DON'T empty your trash before someone sees
your computer!
I think you misinterpreted my instructions as to where your
hi Peta,
Thought I might throw my two pennyworth in. Have you managed to
establish exactly where your iphoto application is since you say it
is not in your applications?
In the search field at the top of your finder type iphoto. The
results that come up will be divided by coloured bars,
