Thanks for this Eugene.
Unfortunately, your suggestion did not work!
I dragged the "alias" of iPhoto into Trash.
Then I (at least 8 times) tried dragging my iPhoto from within
Finder, down into the dock. It did not stay and remained in Finder.
I just know there is a way, however that way is not working for me.

Peta,
The iPhoto application should be in Applications , and you need to
drag from there to the dock .
I am guessing that the finder copy is an alias.
Highlight the finder copy and then use Apple + I to get information on
it .
If it is the alias you should drag that to the trash after getting
your dock alias working

Hi Peta,
instead of dragging the alias onto the dock, drag the original item
there.
An alias is a small file that points to the original application,
document or even a server. You can use them to create shortcuts to
launch the actual items.
When you accidentally lost iPhoto from the dock you actually only
lost an alias (pointer). When you drag an item onto the dock you
create a new pointer to that item.
To remove items from the dock simply drag them off.
Delete alias' by dragging them to the trash. You won't remove the
original item by doing this.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Eugene

Hi - I am sure this is simple to fix, for those who know how!
I have always had iphoto appear in my dock until 2-3 days ago.
For some reason it no longer shows.
I went into finder and clicked "make alias" (assuming I could then
drag or drop or similar an "alias" (copy) into the dock.
Question 1 - how do I now get rid of the alias which I have just
created, from the Finder?
Question 2 - how do I put iphoto back into my dock, which is where
I want it to be?
Question 3- what does alias actually mean/do in Apple jargon?
Many thanks.
