The Dock
The Dock is an area where you can place frequently used icons for easy access.
More than likely, the bar appears at the bottom of your screen, although it can be modified to reside on the left or right side. Some Macs also have the Dock set to "hide" when it is not in use. If you don't see it, place the cursor at the bottom, left, or right of the screen for a few seconds to "unhide" the Dock.
Place the cursor over any icon and the name of the program will appear above it. To launch a program, click once on the icon. A small black triangle will appear below the icon to indicate that it has been launched. Be patient; it may take several seconds for a program to start.
To rearrange the items in the Dock, simply click and drag the icon to a new location. You'll notice the other icons move to make room for the icon in its new position.Creating new icons in the dock will be discussed in the Finder and Creating Aliases sections.
The most common programs appearing in the dock will be discussed in the Software section.
