My Dock on my mac does not work. My brother tried to download a new skin, but he deleted it and now it's gone. I can't even try to change the skin of the dock in the candy bar app.. Where and how do I re-download/reinstall the dock for Os X 10.6.8?
Got a tip for us?

You could put the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Upgrade or grey Restore DVD into the Mac and reinstall Mac OS X, thus you get all the ****ed up things back, and your data will not be deleted, unless you tell the installer otherwise.
I guess you don't have any backups?

The dock is simply an app which you can find in a folder with other root programs. I don't know where that folder is of the top of my head but look it up on google. You can redo load the "dock app" and replace your broken dock application file. Again search on google for that. A file has most likely been deleted in the dock application if it no longer shows up.
