Dock Does not show anymore

[Art2Fly]

I have a problem concerning the dock, it does not show up and i dont even have it one automatically hide and show. This happened when i removed the Windows Bootcamp partition off of my Mac. Now I cant even see the dock and have to use finder to open all of my programs and load files and none of the programs minimize. I also think there is a virus on my mac because after i removed the partition, I had 22 gigs free. The next day, i only had 11 and now i only have 10. Thanks for the help.

open Terminal (its under utitlities, or spotlight for terminal application) and type the following:

kill all Dock

later, check HDD > System > Library > CoreServices and look for "Dock" there.

Open Terminal.

Type:

killall Dock

Press Enter.

What occurs?

Restarting the dock's a good idea - if that doesn't work, restart your Mac. It's a pain, but it can be a very easy fix.

this is what i get in terminal

arturo-salinas-computer:~ salinas$ kill all Dock
-bash: kill: all: arguments must be process or job IDs
-bash: kill: Dock: arguments must be process or job IDs

I also cannot find dock in HDD > System > Library > CoreServices I have tried restarting the mac, it still does not show up. This is for all users btw.

The command is "killall Dock" - no space between kill and all.

 

[Art2Fly]

still nothing

arturo-salinas-computer:~ salinas$ killall Dock
