Hi, I have accidently sent my iPhoto from the dock to the trash, can I get it back? I've searched the trash but can't find it, my photos are still in the computer, but I can't access them with the iPhoto icon in the dash.

If you've moved the iPhoto shortcut in the Dock to the Trash, open it from the Applications folder or the Recent Applications section of the Apple menu, control-click the Dock icon, and choose Keep in Dock.


If you've moved the actual iPhoto application to the Trash, put it back, or if you've emptied the Trash, reinstall it.


As Dock icons are shortcuts and not actual files or folders, they'll disappear without confirmation if dragged out of the Dock; the original isn't affected.
