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 click on and you should get a pop up menu show up. You can then choose "Keep In Dock". It will then stay there when you click open it next time.
That should get it working for you.
