deleted my Apple - Mac OS X dock icon

I don't know why. But I miss it ; ; sadface.

Here's what I've done so far... took forever to find out how to do this.. I have no idea why it's so hard.

 

Well as we all know, dragging and dropping a URL from Safari to the desktop creates a shortcut to it.

 

but here is a more useful solution: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...040111200114634

 

and in the comments another user had written an apple script to turn the url of the first window open in safari into a titled url shortcut item:

 

try
tell application "Safari"
set theURL to URL of (document of window 1)
set theTitle to name of window 1
end tell

do shell script "echo \"[InternetShortcut]\" > ~/Desktop/\"" & theTitle & ".url\""
do shell script "echo \"URL=" & theURL & "\" >> ~/Desktop/\"" & theTitle & ".url\""

on error x
activate me
display dialog x
end try

 

but umm, that just made an ugly http location icon, which is fine i guess, it did what i wanted, but now i wanted the original icon back, and the best i've been able to do is from interfacelift.com in the mac icons section from a pack entitled "springs"

now, I don't even like those icons, so if ANYONE can give me the original icon, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

 

Now I have a file hidden around in my user folder hopefully so that I won't delete it randomly some time, so that this link works. I don't even use it, it's just for aesthetics for me, it doesn't even look that good, it's just something Im used to and i'm nitpicky..

And I just found out that if you just drag and drop the favicon next to the URL in the safari adress bar, it does what I wanted it to do in the first place. I wasted like an hour and forty-eight minutes and all I need was to drag and drop.
