10.7.5 unable to find apps after reboot.

Lately, after I reboot, Lion seems to "forget" where my apps are. When I try to open a file, I get either a warning that this is the first time I'm opening a new app, or that it can't find the app for the file I've double-clicked on, and asks me to find it. Besides being annoying, it makes me wonder if something's going wrong with my OS. This Intel Quad Core Mac Pro and Lion OS are just over a year old. Any ideas or suggestions?

Have you moved any of the Apps out of the default Applications folder at any time?

  • Unable to update apps after 10.5 update

    I have been unable to update apps on my iPhone since downloading iTunes 10.5.
    I have an established connection in iTunes to my account and can download apps but when I when I click on "# Updates Available" I am asked to sign in again and then receive a message that the iTunes Store is unavailable and to try again later.
    All system software is up to date and I have update my iOS to 5. I am able to connect to the store via my iPhone and update there but do not understand why I can't view the updates on my Mac.
    Please help

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
              Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 5
    According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

  • Unable to update apps after converting iTunes account from UK to SG

    Hello all,
    I have contacted support ([email protected]), and after being served by countless support staff, none could really explain to me what I should/could do. All they have done after understanding my problem is to point me to "iTunes Feedback page".
    So here's the problem: I cannot seem to update my apps. This all happened when I switched stores. Previously I was using the UK iTunes store. But since I've completed my studies and returned home, I changed my billing information to a Singapore bank. Doing so converted my iTunes store account to the SG iTunes store. Clicking on the "search for updates" in the iTunes App library lists several updates available. But because I am in the SG iTunes store and my apps were previously purchased in the UK iTunes store, there is no way for me to update it.
    The strange thing is that my iPhone and iPad allows me to update any app - bought from the UK or SG store - without any problems. It is just that iTunes is rather picky about updating it. I have tried deleting a UK-purchased app and re-downloading the same app in the SG iTunes store, and two things happen. The first is that I won't get charged, since it prompts me "you have already purcahsed this item". I also notice that there is the "$0.99 Buy App" and not the usual "Download" label. The second is that despite the fact that I re-downloaded the app from the SG iTunes store, it still refuses to update it.
    I'm really getting annoyed at this. Does anyone have the same problem, if so, what did you do to resolve it?

  • Unable to Upgrade App After Changing Billing Address

    Recently I have moved from USA to INDIA. Hence, I changed my billing address and updated credit card information associated with my apple id.
    After that I am unable to get free upgrade for apps that I had purchased with my US credit card.
    Can someone please help me with this issue?
    Thanks & regards,

    I too have the same problem: I changed my contact email. I was forcefully logged out by Azure. After logging back in it said it could not find my subscription and I no longer have any benefits. The support phone number Azure pointed me to pointed me to
    this forum. How awesome to see the forum points me right back to online help that pointed me to the call center that pointed me here.

  • Canon Wi-Fi Printer Unable to find SSID after OS upgraded

    I am using Canon MG4100 series printer. After I upgraded my iMac OS X 10.9 and also upgraded the firmware of my Time Capsule, my printer is no longer able to find the SSID. While all other devices have no issue except the Canon printer. Anyone can help?

    Make sure the wireless names.. and TC name is smb compatible.
    Short.. 2-20 characters
    No spaces
    Pure alphanumeric.
    The standard apple names are invalid in most OS.
    Even apple manipulate the network names..
    Turn off security and fix the wireless to 11, 6, 1 in that order.. just as a test. If all of them fail,
    Then I recommend you buy a cheap TP-Link, edimax etc wireless router and use it as a WAP.. plugged into the TC.

  • Unable to download apps after iOS7 update

    Hi,
    After updating my iPad 3 to iOS 7, I can't download any apps from the app store. I've tried signing out and in from the app store but it did not work. Could this be a bug after the update?
    Thanks

    Apple's servers have been swamped since yesterday's release of iOS 7. Even the iTunes Store is/was showing signs of oddness with your apps needing updates not showing at all or when finally downloading the update, would stall and just sit there. All you can do is keep trying. Hopefully things will ease off today and into tomorrow.

  • Unable to find apps in App store

    Unable to get BOFA and AT&T apps into my new iPhone 4S. Anyone facing the same issue or any solution to get those apps?

    Is the app still in your country's store (if it isn't then you won't be able to redownload it), you haven't changed countries since buying it (content is tied to the country as well as the account), and it isn't hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
    If the app is no longer in your country's store then do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library ?
