Dock icons missing

[xray328]

Any solutions for missing Dock icons? I'm missing:

Launchpad
Safari
Notes
iTunes
OpenOffice

The "?" is Photo Booth

The programs are there, icons are just missing.

open the apps, they should show up

Yosemite DP1 doesn't include PhotoBooth

Opening them doesn't fix it

It's odd, when I tried 10.10 on a 32GB flash drive, many of the dock icons were missing; when I installed on 320GB external FW HDD, all dock icons present and accounted for.

Plus, Yosemite performs very well (so far) with this set-up.

Just restart your Mac

I get this too. Removing the icons from the dock and re-adding them makes them show up properly. Unfortunately this is the only solution I've found so far.

I had the same thing. launching each missing app only fixed half of them.

I found a couple of restarts fixed the issue, and I haven't seen it come back since.

Same here

I had missing dock icons but one or more re-boots fixed that.

Missing lots of icons

I too am missing several icons on my dock, as well as icons for aliases and many, many folder icons (I will post some pics in a moment). The aliases themselves work fine, just no icon.

Tried rebooting but did not help.

Something messed up with services.

try running this script and report back if it fixes the problem. It fixed mine tho!!!

I strongly believe that there is bug which needs reporting.

Yeah, sure, download this file I got from a form and just run it.

It may be legit, it may not. But my spider-sense is tingling.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not. I am NOT a code monkey, so I have no way of knowing what this little piece of software will do to my computer. I have learned the hard way to not simply just download a program and blindly run it just because someone says that it will cure my computer ills.

Neither am I code monkey!!! if you are so concerned about things happening to your system, then I am afraid to say that you shouldn't run a beta software in the first place.

All this command does is to refresh the services.

Thanks for asking help.

Thank you for clarifying. It would have been nice to mention what the code does when posted. Just saying "do this" isn't helpful.

I apologize for my paranoia. I still am recovering from a bad download recently.

I tried the program, and it did not help. I have since rebooted the mini 4 or 5 times and have seen no improvement. Any other ideas?
