I have lost the icon for iphoto in the dock. I slid it to the screen and poof it was gone. Before that I clicked on it but it would not open. Same with Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. Click and nothing.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
For the apps to work, you need to update them. To add the icons back to the Dock, select the app in your Applications folder and drag it to the Dock.

I must be doing something wrong. I am looking in Mactintosh HD and see Applications on the left side. I open the Applications and do not see Iphotos. I do see iPhoto.app.dvdproj. that's all.
The shortcut Icon's on your Dock can be replaced in a couple of ways.
1. Open your Applications folder in Finder, click hold and drag the Icon from there back onto your Dock.
2. Open your Application folder and open the Application from there. Then control (right) click on the new Applications Icon in the Dock, select Options, then select Keep in Dock.
As for those Applications that do not open.
1. Make sure that you are logged into either your Admin. Account or a Guest User Account that has permission to use those Applications.
2. If you have upgraded to say Yosemite 10.10 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8, then you will also need to replace those old Microsoft app's as well.
Unfortunately, the iPhotos, Microsoft Powerpoint, Excel, and Word icons are not in the Applications. I haven't upgraded. I see iPhotos startup

Buy a disk or download of a more recent version of Microsoft Office. Office 2011 is the most recent production version, but Office 2016 is in public test and expected to be released later this year.
Iphoto, Microsoft Powerpoint, Excel and Word icons
