Icons disappear from Dock (OS X 10.6)
Every now and then an application’s icon will randomly disappear from the Macintosh Dock. The application is still on the Dock, you can click on it like normal, but its icon is blank. What to do?
1) Quit the Application if it is running.
2) Right-click on the blank Dock icon and click Options > Show in Finder.
3) Right-click again and choose Options > Remove From Dock.
4) Relaunch the Dock using the Terminal command: killall Dock
5) Launch the Application from the Finder window and drag it back to its rightful place in the Dock.
Annoying, yes, but at least it doesn’t happen very often.
