All the applications that I recently downloaded have disappeared

I installed a number of applications on my IMAC, then rebooted the computer, and the applications had all disappeared.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Does anyone have an explanation or a solution?

I was wondering if it was a common phenomenon....
Not at all, and should never happen.
Having an application's icon disappear from the Dock is not uncommon, and is easily fixed; but having the application itself disappear is not at all common.
If you still have the installers, re-install them. Applications installed using an installer will almost always be placed into the Applications folder, the one visible when the icon for the hard drive is first opened.
However, applications installed via a different mechanism, such as by drag-and-drop or by copying, may end up elsewhere.

HT4623 I recently upgraded my i-phone 4s phone with the new iOS7. Since that all the applications that I have opened will not close. How do I close applications that are running in the background?

Double click your Menu button and swipe up the open Apps to close them.......

Hi guys, i would like to ask about the apple id. Which at this time I have been using the new apple id, can I be able to continue updates all the applications that I have purchased by using the old apple id.

Hey guys, I am newbie here ;(.. I have a question regarding my new apple id. at this moment i've still have all the applications that i've been purchased by using my old apple id.
In case there are an update for the applications in my iphone, " Can i use my new apple id to update all the application that i've been purchased with my old apple id ". If its not possible to do, are there any suggestion for me to updates all the applications by using my new apple id ?
Many thanks ;)

Apps must be updated using the Apple ID used to originally download them to the device.
If you cannot or will not use the old Apple ID, then you can delete the app, and then download it again using the current Apple ID. Be aware that any paid apps will have to be purchased again.

I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from an older MAC to a newer MAC. My newer MAC has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. Help!!!

I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. How do I find all my files on the MacBook Pro, or undo what I have done???

IGNORE the last post: he thought you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
Since you are using Snow Leopard, you need to install Rosetta. It can be found on your Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Options section.
Once installed all should be well again.
Also, if your computer is connected to the internet when the Dialog Box about PowerPC applications comes up, it MIGHT allow you to download Rosetta from the internet. There has been some discussion that Apple has discontined internet download of Rosetta into Snow Leopard.
Someone else will have to address your lost files problem.

I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID

Thank you so much

If you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

HT4623 In my iphone currently there is ios 6.1.2 .. if i update it into 6.1.3 can i have to do repurchase or reinstall all the applications that are currently working on ios..?

There's been a problem with this all day. Seems to be a server problem - wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

I want to hide the highlighter on the desktop which shows all the application that we are using .

When I open thunderbird ... all the accounts that I had downloaded from different gmail accounts have disappeared I need help thank you

A while back I downloaded about 15 gmail accounts so that i could cancel the gmail accounts ...
all was working fine ... but recently when I started thunderbird ... there was only 1 of the downloaded accounts remaining ... and even it was empty ..
I need some help in finding all the lost accounts and emails
Thank you

Assuming you are talking about imap accounts.
This is the process you would use:
You synchronised those accounts to download a copy to your computer.
Then you stopped the synchronising, so that the accounts did not keep updated to be the same as the server.
Then in Offline mode you would move all of those accounts emails into Local Folders, so that you would be able to delete the imap email accounts and keep all emails on your computer.
One possibility:
If the imap email accounts were still able to synch with the server and you had stopped the mail account, it may have done a final synch with an empty server, thus deleting all the emails to match the server. Synchronised imap accounts keep updated to match what the server folders contain.
First check to see if there are any emails in your Profile folder.
make hidden files and folders visible.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
In Thunderbird:
* Help > Troubleshooting information
* click on 'show folder' button
A new window opens showing your profile folder.
* click on 'ImapMail' folder
Do you see a list of your imap mail accounts?
If yes. click on an imap account name
Can you see eg: Inbox (not Inbox.msf) or any other folders you created which show as files with no extension - not *.msf?
If yes, do they have a decent size?
you can open these files using eg: Notepad to see if emails are listed.
If you can see only one imap mail account, check to see if there are any emails as previously described.
Then check to see if there is more than one Profile.
Click on the 'Profiles' in address line...see image below.
In my example I only have one xxxxxxxx.default account and it is open on that Profile.
If there is more than one, select the other Profile and check again for the imap mail accounts as previously described.
Please report back:
Did you stop synchronising those imap mail accounts?
Did you move a copy of all emails into Local Folders?
Did you stop/remove the mail accounts on the server?
Do you have one or more Profiles?
Do you see the imap mail accounts in the Profile folder?
Do you see any files containing the emails?
Additional:
After synchronising, downloading, stop synchronising.
Did you create a backup of the Profile folder?

My pic 3 has suddenly started draining the battery in only a few hours even when I am not using it. Might this mean something is running all the time? I recently downloaded Dropbox. How do I check? What do I do about it? Or is battery faulty? Tim

My ipad 3 has suddenly started draining battery in only a few hours. Even if not in use. Might this be because a programme is running in he background? I recently downloaded Dropbox. Might my photos still be downloading after a few days? How do I check? What do I do about it? Or might my battery be faulty? Thanks, Tim.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

How do I turn off all the applications that open when I start my Mac up?

Everytime I start my Macbook Pro up, it opens all of these applications up. I know there is a way to turn it off, but I can't remember how. Can anyone help, please?

Launch System Preference. Click General.
Go to the section "Number of recent items".
Uncheck the box preceding
"Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Restart.
Hope this helps.

13 in macbook pro (early to mid 2011) : after the update, computer freezes with spinning wheel every 30 seconds first with safari and now with all the applications. I don't have any programs installed and still had good enough memory on the RAM.

After the update of my 13 in mac book pro (early to mid 2011) , it freezes every 30 seconds with the spinning wheel and now it just freezes. Ive never had this problem until I recently updated. Also, I just checked now for available update ( which there was one), the update would process till the last step and it shows it cannot be expanded? Now my computer wont even restart (just have a grey screen with a cursor). Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on with my computer?
I also checked the memory and it showed available memory was over 1.5 GB. I dont have any programms installed and do not have backup yet ( dont really need it anyways)
Problems: first with spinning wheel every 30 seconds and now whole computer just freezes when I restart, it only shows grey screen after the starting sound or it takes about 8 to 10 minutes to restart.
This ALL happened right after the update with google chrome crashing. I know my apple care plan expired so I cant even go to genius bar. Do you guys know how much it would cost to get it fixed ? Or any recommendations I can do to fix this?

Try a smc reset:
