Really dumb question that any mac owner will know?

I just got a MAcBook Air 2 days ago. I accidentally dragged everything out of my dock and it poofed into the air. How do I get them back to default?

Just find the apps, documents or whatever you want in your Dock, and drag them onto it.

Apps on the left hand side of the divider, documents and folders on the right.

What are the default stuff that are on the bottom, and how do i find them O_O?

Edit: I didn't put anything new in the dock and if you know the order they go in please post, and this is for OS 10 Lion

Restoring Folders to the Dock

^ that does not answer his question..

go to your applications folder from finder



then simply drag the apps you want (by clicking and holding) to your dock and you're done 🙂

Take a look at the dock on this page:

http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/software.html

That should be it:

Finder (automatically included?)
Launch Pad
Mission Control
App Store
Mail
Safari
Facetime
Address Book
iCal
iTunes
Photo Booth
iPhoto
System preferences

Applications
Downloads

It certainly does answer how to get back the folders that were removed.

Anyway I got most of the apps back from the launchpad I'm not sure if I have all of them. Here's is what I have, also I don't need them in order.

Finder
Launchpad
Mission Control
App Store
Safari
Mail
iTunes
Garageband
Photobooth
iMovie
iPhoto

Are these all the default ones or am I missing some or did I put some that are not the default?

You could try in another, even temporarily created, user account, as that new account shows you all the defaults.

You can also add any app to the Dock simply by right-clicking its icon when the App is open and selecting Keep in Dock. You don't have to have all the default apps in the Dock, unless you choose to.

I got it I viewed the Os Lion picture from the app store.

Out of curiosity, would time machine restore them?

I've never restored from time machine before but it backs up all the time.
