Use the Finder window to navigate to the item you want to add to the Finder toolbar. For example, to add TextEdit, click the Applications folder in the Finder sidebar, and then follow the instructions below, depending on the version of OS X you're using.

The app comes with a number of advanced features, along with all the basic tools available in MS Paint.
The modern paintbrush to your digital easel: stylus Admit it: your finger is far too pudgy to properly draw detailed pictures on your Snap Story, and you secretly envy those who are able to write words and add funny little doodles without their Snap Story looking like a three-year-old stole their iPhone.
There are way too many app icons on my dock. Is there a way to add drawers of apps on the dock so each drawer contains a list of apps?
While the Dock doesn't have the concept of 'folders' for the apps that are pinned to or running in it, as of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard the Stacks feature can provide something similar.
Dragging the Applications folder from the Finder into the 'Stacks section' (right of the white-dashed line) of the Dock will add it as a Stack. You can then click the folder to see something like this:
If you want subsets of your Applications as separate Stacks, you can create folders for each somewhere in your filesystem, and add aliases for the desired applications. (Note that dragging an app from the Applications folder to another folder makes an alias by default. Convenient!)

All this being said, an alternative if you have OS X 10.7 Lion is to use Launchpad to organize and access your apps, keeping the contents of your Dock as minimal as possible.
I realize this question was asked awhile back, but if someone with a newer OS stumbles upon it, here's another trick you can try.
Add comments or tags to the applications you want to group, making a new Smart Folder in /Applications, and then setting the search criteria to be the comment or tag you chose. Then, save the search, which adds it to your Finder sidebar.
Cornell notes app for mac. From there, right click on the new Finder sidebar item, and choose 'Add to Dock'. Note that some built-in applications like Safari won't allow you to modify tags or comments. But, that's when you just make an alias and add the tag or comment to it, instead.
