Lately, I’ve been running across an oh-so-annoying issue: several of my Mac’s icons are missing, with a generic application icon displayed instead.What happens is this: I click on an app to open it, and then its icon changes to the weird default one shown above. Mostly the issue only affects an app or two, but a few times, I’ve seen entire Docks full of those same icons. Which, as you can imagine, doesn’t make it easy for folks to see what they’re clicking on.

To remove an app from your Dock, you can click, hold, and drag its icon up off the Dock and then let go, which will result in it disappearing in a nice little “poof” animation.Alternatively, you can right-click (or Control-click) on the app’s icon and select Options Remove from Dock in the menu. Regardless of which method you use, note that this only removes the icon from your Dock. It doesn’t uninstall or delete the actual app from your Mac, so no worries there.Once that generic icon is gone, add the application back to your Dock.
