My document folder is no longer on my dock. I don't know how it got lost. I went to finder and tried to drag the folder to my dock numerous times, but it won't go there!

I just got a Mac Pro with a 250GB SSD drive and 2 1TB drives. I planned to use the 250GB drive for the OS and the other two drives for all my data. How do I move the location of Documents, Music, Pictures...? In Windows, you can move the folder location, but I'm not sure if you can do this w OSX.
If this isn't possible, what's the best way to keep my data off the 250GB drive?
Guys, how can i save a text edit document in a designated sub folder? All this time the only option to save a text edit doc for me is either in a document folder or other non-sub folders (e.g. desktop, etc).
i have a problem for my macbook pro 15". i cant open the document folder and download folder. i can se inside the folder from the dock folder icon, but i cant click open in finder.(application not responding). i wait the hole night but same.
I want to unclutter my macbook and I have found that I have duplicated files in my All Document folder. I want to delete these files so it is not taking up unwanted space on my hard drive. I have saved what I wanted in folders that I created for that subject. Everything else I want to delete. My question is if I delete this stuff will it cause my computer to mess up, I wont be deleting important files for programs to need to run with, will I. I also found that I have two "All Document" folders and two "Download" folders can I delete one so I only have one of each.

Why doesn't the original document I'm dragging and dropping from one folder to another move? What's happening is the computer is creating a duplicte of the document and placing it in the new location with a new creation date. The original document I wanted to drag and drop into a new location remains where it started as the "original" document and the new copy has this little arrow protruding up from the lower left of its icon. At first I thought it was an alias, but it's a copy of the document I thought I was dragging and dropping.

Everytime I drag the Applications folder from the left side of the Finder window to the dock, I just see a poof of smoke and nothing gets added to the dock BUT the Applications folder from the left side of the Finder window disappears!!
Am I doing the dragging/dropping wrong or something? I've tried to add it to the right hand side of the dock (the side by the Trash can), and it still does the same thing.

My wife removed the Applications and Downloads folders from her dock. Can I simply drag these folders from Finder to the dock to restore them to the dock? If so, will they stay on the dock? On my iMac I do not see an option, "Keep on the Dock". for folders

So I just upgraded and moved my files over using the time machine but now my recovered files folder in my dock is missing (all that's there is a question mark). How can I get this folder back and get rid of the question mark.
I know this is probably an easy answer but when i first got my aluminum mac book there was a download folder on my dock and it showed a whole list of all my downloads but i must have removed it from the dock. How do i get it back ?
After trying to customize my icons with LiteIcon and CandyBar and everything, my dock refuses to show up, at all. When I go to Finder and then to Dock, it has the beach ball.
When I try to go to the Applications folder, it has the beach ball.
I've tried Terminal "killall Dock" but it doesn't appear to be a Dock problem, but rather an Application problem. Maybe even both.
This is my first week using a mac, I don't know what to do. I'm currently repairing disk permissions?
I downloaded a folder icon so I can use it on my dock. I used one that looks different from the usual blue folder. When I shut down the computer or restart it goes back to the bland blue folder. My questions is how can I keep the folder that I downloaded?
I am customizing my brand new iMac 24". Just switching from M$! I changed the default icon of my folder and I put it on the Dock. Everything fine, but the dock seems to adopt the icon of what it is INSIDE the folder, not the custom icon of the containing folder.
I wonder if I can force Dock to respect the custom icon of the folder (when there are several documents inside the folder, Dock uses the standard icon - not the new, custom one).
I am trying to find out how to add a new smart folder onto my dock, u know those two folder next to the trash bin. I saw in youtube that u can add more of it. e.g. application, document, download etc.
