Sorry guys, my brain has now seized up. This is very late at night
for me. I tried Daniel's and Robert's suggestions.
Well I tried to; didn't quite catch up to where either of them were.
I now have in my dock a "Preview" of the picture we get with iIPhoto
and another little logo in front - the word Preview appears. I cannot
open anything from here though.
When I click on them or in the Application file I receive a message
that the Library could not be found and did I want to make one. I
said Yes, - now I get a file with no photos. Help, this is really
serious for me, I am sure they are on the system but where?
In my Applications folder there now is iPhoto library, but looks like
the new one I made, dated tonight at around 10:24 pm. Any ideas where
the original file has gone?
I am closing up and hopefully tomorrow my brain will kick back into
gear.

Hi Peta
IF you find you can't drag and drop it into the dock (Applications
must go
on left side and files and folders go on the right hand side of the
little
line). The other way you can do it is to Double Click and open the
Application iPhoto. Once it's running either Command click or right
click on
and you should get a pop up menu show up. You can then choose "Keep In
Dock". It will then stay there when you click open it next time.
That should get it working for you.
Kind Regards
Daniel

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.

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.
