My GarageBand Application has simply disappeared.

My GarageBand Application has simply disappeared. I didn't uninstall it nor trash it. I've done spotlight, finder, every search I know. How can I get it back?

Reinstall it and then run the applicable updater. You may need to use Pacifist.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

Hi Jdireen,
As someone who uses the iLife applications on a daily basis on my Mac I can understand how it would be upsetting to have them disappear suddenly. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
You can download the applications again and reinstall them from the Mac App Store -
GarageBand - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id682658836?mt=12
iMovie - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imovie/id408981434?mt=12
iPhoto - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381?mt=12
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My Website Design and Pages in the iWeb Application has all Disappeared?

Hello,
Last time I uploaded to my website I pressed save as always. Now when I open iWeb (Version 1.1.2) my design and the web pages I created are all gone and it asks me to choose a template as if this is the first time I have used the Application iWeb.
My website is still on-line. How can I correct this? Does it have something to do with the MobileMe fiasco?
Thanks Rock

Rock ~ Perhaps. To use MobileMe, the version of OS X you indicate you are using (10.4.10) needs to be upgraded to 10.4.11. See this _.Mac to MobileMe transition FAQ_. ...Run +Software Update+ and you may also get an iWeb update.
It sounds like iWeb cannot find its Domain file, normally located in the +~/Library/Application Support/iWeb+ folder. Have you moved it, or made any major changes to your Mac?
If you've been prudently making backup copies of iWeb's domain file as described HERE, you could try double-clicking on that backup copy and see if it opens up the last backup version of your sites.
"iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up."

Address Book Application has disappeared from iMac

my son has an iMac with OSX 10.4 (Tiger). the Address Book application has literally disappeared from his computer. i suspect that i need to re-install Address Book, but cannot find where/how to do that anywhere on apple.com. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Both the Tiger and Leopard Installer discs include an Optional Installs installer. Launch this installer (found in the Optional Installs folder on the Leopard disc) and at the root level in the Tiger Installer disc. Launch the installer and click the continue buttons until you reach the Custom Install screen. Click the triangle next to Applications, tick the box next to Address Book, and click the Install button to install Address Book.

You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

Hi! Did anyone happen that AppStore simply disappear? Anyone have a solution for this problem? Thanks!

Hi!
Did anyone happen that AppStore simply disappear?
Have anyone a solution for this problem?
thanks! bbj

Hi.
Do you mean that App Store has disappeared from the Dock? If so it'll still be in Applications. Select it in Applications, when it opens in the Dock move it one or more places, it will then stay there to access next time you want it.
If you don't mean the above, see if you have accidentally moved the application to the Trash.
Good luck,
Adrian

How can I reinstall Garageband application from Time Machine

I somehow LOST my GarageBand application. I can see it on my Time Machine but I don't know how to restore JUST that application. I still have my garage band files.

Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?
Actually photoshop elements 6 should work on modern intel macs.
The only problem is that adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 installers available anymore, though there may be a chance to get the pse 6 installer if you bought pse 6 as a download from adobe
and login to your adobe account using the same user id and password as you did back then.
Otherwise hopefully you have the photoshop elements 6 install dvd.
Photoshop elements 13 is the current version that adobe has for sale

Recently, there is a bug on my Mac OS X Lion, while trashing an iphoto the errant pic does not go to trash bin, but simply disappears! Which makes it impossible to change my mind. The trash remains empty, yet the pic is gone, and I never even emptied

Recently, there has been a bug on my Mac OS X Lion, while trashing an iphoto the errant pic does not go to trash bin, but simply disappears! Which makes it impossible to change my mind. The trash remains empty, yet the pic is gone, and I never even emptied the trash (because it never made it to the trash)! How to recover the album I just accidently made disappear in this way?

Sorry - there have been no updates to that system for a long time
Try to backup your iPhoto library and lanch iPhoto while holding the option and cannoned keys down - repair permissions and if needed rebuild the database

The application has unexpectedly quit???

Hello,
I have been using iMovie, and iDVD for a few years now. Nothing fancy, just home videos, but I really enjoy it, and I feel very good when a project is done and I can share it with my family.
My most recent project is a group of iMovies based on the first 4 years of my middle daughter's life. I title each movie by year (1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993). Each movie has titles, transitions, soundtrack music, and "chapters" added, all standard iMovie stuff.
My problem is that this project will not work. The project starts out fine, just like always, with the little sideways barber pole spinning away, but when I come back several hours later to check on it, there is a window stating that the "application has unexpectedly quit" and asking me if I want to submit a report to apple. This has not happened before.
The first time it happened, I did all the things I have learned to do when iMovie tries to act up or give me trouble, specifically: I deleted the iDVDplist, I "repaired permissions", and I even ran "Cacheout X" and restarted my computer. But after all that, when I tried the project again, it "unexpectedly quit" again.
I don't know what to do now? I have read that many people have had trouble with iDVD chapters being placed at transitions. I thought this must be a problem with the new iDVD5, because I have always placed chapters at transitions (and at the very beginning of a project) and I have never had a problem before.
Since I don't know what else to do, I am going to go back and move the chapters around avoiding the beginning, and any transitions, and see if that makes a difference. Other than that, can anyone suggest anything else I could try?
Would upgrading to iLIFE '05 help? I actually own it. I have had the box sitting on my desk for months, but I have been reluctant to load it because of many of the problems that I have read about in these forums. In my case, iDVD4 has been working very reliably for me, and my thought was "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" Well, now it seems to be broken, so, should I try to fix it?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Lincoln

Thank you David,
I appreciate your advise. As you suggested, I went back and moved all the chapters from each of the iMovies. I have never NOT placed a chapter at the very beginning of a project, and it seems strange for the "2nd" chapter to be listed as chapter #1 (since the first chapter "Beginning" is implied), but--- it worked!
It is hard to say exactly what worked, because I also created an entirely new project. It was an exact duplicate of the original project in every way (except for the new chapter locations), but I simply couldn't figure out how to "update" the original project after I made the changes, and I thought that making a new project would be the easiest thing.
So it is probably the chapter changes that fixed it, but perhaps there was some wierd problem with the first project. The other thing I was wondering about was that this project was less than 2 hours long, but not by much. When I looked at the "Status" section, I had used 3.8 of the available 4.0GB for video.
But the bottom-line is that I am very happy that the project is complete, and I continue to be amazed at the high quality movies and DVD's I am able to create with the iLIFE programs.
Now that this crisis is over, what is your opinion of iLIFE '05? Should I take the plunge and load it up, or keep working with programs that I am happy with? I must admit that I would love to have access to the new "THEMES" in iDVD, but as you can plainly see, I am simply not computer saavy enough to handle any of the new problems that I have read so much about in the iMovieHD, and iDVD5 discussion groups.
Thanks again,
Lincoln

HT1926 When I try to open ITUNES I get the following messages: Runtime Error R6034 - "An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly" . I have 15,000 songs in my library. Will I lose them if I uninstall as suggested by Apple?

When I try to open ITUNES I get the following messages: Runtime Error R6034 - "An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly" . I have 15,000 songs in my library. Will I lose them if I uninstall as suggested by Apple??

Exactly the same problem. But it gets worse. iTunes has now disappeared from my list of installed programs so I can't uninstall anyway. Appalling problem. This update clearly didn't get proper testing before release.
In answer to your question about your song library, I seem to remember uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes a few years ago and the uninstall didn't remove the library then - I can't see why it would. Of course there have been a lot of updates since then, so it is definitely worth asking the question. Personally, I would be inclined to make a copy (if you have the space) of the iTunes folder just to be sure.
I certainly hope they get this fixed soon. I use iTunes mainly for podcasts on my iPod and I can't download anything right now.

Application Support folders disappeared

Finder has been hanging recently, causing other apps (and sometimes the whole system) to become unresponsive. i googled for fixes, and followed a suggestion to reboot into Safe Mode, navigate through a few directories in Finder, then restart normally. having done this, i now find that Chrome's settings and bookmarks have been wiped and my contacts and calendars have gone AWOL; it seems that most of the subdirectories under ~/Library/Application Support have disappeared, taking my Calendars, Contacts, etc. with them...
i have a Time Machine backup from which i'm about to go and retrieve these folders, but this does not inspire confidence! what happened? why did Lion delete all my Application Support folders and how can i prevent this from happening again?
many thanks indeed. i'm on a 2011 MBP running 10.7.3.

those were as detailed as the instructions in the suggestion i followed:

nothing more complex or precise than that. i didn't make any further change whilst in Safe Mode.
i'm not sure if it's normal, but whilst waiting for the machine to boot into Safe Mode, there was a progress bar underneath the spinning progress indicator. it took a good few minutes to boot.
then, when i restarted normally, once again there was the was progress bar underneath the spinning progress indicator, though it completed and booted much faster, and my Login Items opened as normal. everything appeared to be fine, bar the missing directories.
I still can't figure out why it would want you to go to a few folders in Finder and yet not make at least some subtle change or check the contents of some folder. It seems a very strange 'fix' or even diagnostic test.
As for the progress bar, that sounds like it may well have been loading the latest Firmware update. I would be thinking that your original idea of taking them from your backup drive would definately be your best option at the moment.
Good Luck

Photoshop CS6 Application Has Moved Message

Hello Folks,
I keep getting an application has moved message when starting Photo Shop CS6
I have attached a screen grab of the message here. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to keep it from happening each time I start up CS6?
My OS is OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4
I start up CS6 from my normal location which is the CS6 icon that resides in my dock.
if I select the update button, it has no effect, the application still gives me the same message each time I start up.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Jim

I'm not quite understanding the process of the application being moved, can you clarify?…
It simply means that the OS or any other application or utility (installer, updater, cleaner tool, etc) cannot find the expected path to the application.
That can happen through a number of circumstances:
• the user may have created a subfolder to move the Photoshop application in a misguided attempt to "organize things", or have moved the whole Photoshop folder elsewhere or the root Applications folder, or renamed them; or
• the user may have renamed the Hard Disk since Photoshop was installed (say from Macintosh HD to Harry's HardDisk); or
• any folder or file anywhere in the path to the application has an illegal character in its name, say an apostrophe', asterisk*, slash/, backslash, pound or number sign#, dollar sign$, comma, period, dot, etc.. You should stick to underscores, numbers and the letters of the English alphabet for naming files and folders); or
• or the path may appear incomplete because any such folder or file may have become corrupted, damaged or accidentally deleted; or
• the user originally chose a different install location from the default, or installed the application on a drive other than the boot drive (the one where the OS resides), etc.
The fact that you found all those files in your (hidden) ~/Library (user or home library) makes me suspect that the application has indeed been moved, simply because all the equivalent folders in my own ~/Library are all totally empty, i.e. there are no files in them.
The fact that they are still there on your Mac means that the Cleaner Tool was unable to find them and nuke them because it didn't expect them to be there at all. That to me raises a red flag.
jasdelta wrote:
…Can I safely remove all of those old folders before trying a new install? What IYO is the best way to proceed?…
The advice from me and others all along has been to re-install from scratch from the original media, so I see no reason why you should not nuke all those Adobe folders if you know how to do it safely, without messing with anything else in the hidden user library.
I have to stress that I'm still on Lion 10.7.5 and have no plans to move to ML 10.8.x on the machines that can run it.

CS3 - Application has moved.

Hi all,
I installed CS3 on my desktop before I got rid of CS2 in my applications folder. (Just in case of problems) After replacing CS2 in the applications folder with CS3 from the desktop I got "application has moved" dialogue box for all the applications. I was able to repair all applications except Photoshop.
I thought I could go back to the installer and replace the current Photoshop CS3 in the applications folder. Problem is, the installer remembers the previous download location as the desktop, and doesn't ask for a download location.
Any assistance appreciated,
Dave.

Spam? Sorry if you're upset Bob, but I've got a few bones to pick with Adobe. I happen to believe that when I buy something with my very hard earned cash, it should work. Also, it should work properly.
If it doesn't work the way I am misled to believe it will work in the lavish product release seminars, I feel I have a right to be upset. True, I may have picked the wrong place to vent my spleen, but this is my first visit to the adobe forums and I'm not completely familiar with the protocols.
I do apologise if I have offended the undeserving, but I have witnessed some rather callous and rude behaviour here and some of the contributors deserve to be offended with a baseball bat.
Obviously kind hearted, genuine people asking logical, intelligent questions are belittled and admonished by idiots who can't suck hard enough to help adobe get away with lazy, incompetent, profit driven design. I'm appalled at the lack of compassion toward users who simply want a bit of quality and value for their money, and disappointed that some people are willing to make excuses for reprehensible corporate behaviour.
It reminds me of when I was at school and the worst types of kids would suck up to and lie for the bullies, only to be turned on in the end.
RE: We get it. You don't like it. If really really need/want to install
somewhere other than the default I suggest moving to Windows. You can
install anywhere you want there.
I already have windows and that sucks. Why let adobe degrade the Mac versions of it's apps to the piece of crap that is windows? Instead of canning those whole would like to have better control over their computers and the ability, as in my case, of condensing 270 apps into a couple of dozen folders, why not combine with them to actually achieve some improvement in the Software.
Adobe didn't become this big by providing excellent anything other than marketing.
Lots of Love, GB

I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard. For some unknown reason the Library application in Finder disappeared and I was using it only two days ago. Please could someone help? Thanks.

I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard. For some unknown reason the Library application in Finder disappeared and I was using it only two days ago. Please could someone help? Thanks.

Hi cb-anc! Thank you for replying to my question. The Library application has disappeared,not the library folder. I went into the application a couple of days ago to trash some plist files and now the application has disappeared. I haven't upgraded to Lion but am still on now Leopard.

Ripping my hair out...my music has completely disappeared, except for my most recent purchase. Help!

From about a year ago up until I attempted to access it today, my Itunes music has been stored in the cloud and all of it was accessible in my Itunes on my W7 PC.
Today, my music has ALL disappeared except for my most recent purchase of about a month ago.
I've tried everything I can find, and NOTHING will make it reappear.
Help??

maybe it does have to do with other apps. i wish i would have paid attention to when this started occuring so i could narrow down which application might be the culprit.
the only thing that seems to be working right now is if i take my loop folders out of library/audio. i dragged some to my desktop (don't ask me why i did this) and imported them from there. for some reason they are staying in my loop browser. also when asked where i wanted to put the files, i selected them to go where the rest of the loops are at....in the proper directory. i'm thinking of trying this with all the loops and see what happens. something is corrupted and i'd like to know what and why. i admit, which i am embarrassed about, my computer is a mess. i really need to organise it and all that. actually, i am hoping hoping hoping to get a macbook just for my music. it would make life easier for me seeing i am quickly running out of room on all my hard drives.
the only loops i am having trouble locating are all the ones i made recently. which i am upset about. but i am sure they are here somewhere. i just need ot wade through the mess to find them.
thank you for your help.
