My Dock is not showing up on my MAC. Happened after an update. When I turn on computer there is no Dock appearing even though I clicked all sides and bottom. Had no problem until I received an update from Apple. My computer is MACOS SONOMA 14.6

My Dock & Launchpad keep crashing/won't open Hi, I'm an iMac 2006 (a1207) Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5) user. Today I was organizing my apps with folders in Launchpad, I filled a folder completely (maybe more than I should) and while naming the folder it started to freeze, then while I was typing the name Launchpad closed. I could no longer open Launchpad with F4 and the Dock bar was completely gone! I tried in the settings but nothing changed and the background photo was keep turning white and back to normal, I guess the Dock or Launchpad was always trying to reopen itself but couldn't, when I looked at the activity monitor “ReportCrash” was using 102.2% CPU and I was sure. The Dock app couldn't handle what I did in Launchpad and crashed every time it tried to reopen. I need the location on the computer of the code that holds the location of the apps and folders in Launchpad. Thanks.

Dock crashing because of moving application folder from finder to the dock and then to the trash. Now I can't use the dock anymore and have to restart my computer. It is really annoying.
