App Store Apps downloaded but not showing up in Applications folder

I purchased some apps from the App Store while logged into a Parental Controlled user account. The apps are not showing up in the limited Application folder in the doc. I logged out an logged back into the Admin folder and made sure the new apps were selected in the available parental controlled apps. Then I logged back into the restricted user account and the apps are not there. As well, the game center downloaded apps are not showing up. Not sure how that "game Center' is supposed to work. You would figure when you download an app it would be available right away, no?

When you have "Use Simple Finder" and "Limit Applications" selected, you do not have an Applications folder. The Apps Are Selected in the parental Control panel under "Apps" > Allowed Apps> App Store.
They should show up somewhere. I would assume in the Apps folder.

Wifi not working with iTunes, apps store and some, but not all Internet sites....why???

Yesterday I noticed while browsing Internet that some sites would not open and that some games I regularly play would not open. I also found that I could not open either the apps store or iTunes. Everything seemed to be working the day before and I have not recently upgraded ios (been on version 6.1.3 for a while) or changed any settings on my iPad (2). With Internet research today I found suggestion that if I switched to 3G I would be able to access these apps and,sure enough, under 3G connection everything works fine. Some other forums suggest changing wifi router settings to fix the issue ....I have not tried this as I wouldn't like to mess with my router and end up effecting other peripherals/pc's connected to it that are working fine....especially when I am not terribly IT savvy when it comes to hardware settings. But as I haven't changed anything on my ipad why would my wifi suddenly stop connecting to some apps on my iPad, but not all??? Interestingly I can access many Internet sites (forums) with wifi connection but not the apple forum! To get to anything apple related I have to switch back to 3G ....that includes checking the iOS version I am on via settings!
I also mention that I have done all the other suggested fixes found on various forums, such as rebooting iPad, renewing wifi lease, clearing cookies, closing all apps etc etc, to no avail. Seems the only suggested fix I have not tried is mucking around with my router which I am very hesitant to do given the **** I went through with my telco when my home Internet connection suddenly stopped working last year. Took me weeks of phone calls to get my internet connection back and being forced by the telco to a more expensive plan, hence very reluctant to start mucking around with that side of things, but why should I need to when it does seem to be working ok with other devices in the home?
I have started this as new discussion as, even though I am not terribly IT savvy, I cant see how this could be related to the wifi issues that many on the newer devices (iPhone 5 and iPad mini etc) are reporting as I haven't recently upgraded anything on my ipad and all was working perfectly up until yesterday.
Any other suggestions on how to get wifi working correctly again on iPad or do I really have to risk the working of every other device in my home and chase it from modem/router side?

Hi there,
You mentioned that you have tried a few troubleshooting steps already, but you may want to take a look at the article below, specifically the section titled "If you are unable to access the Internet while connected to a Wi-Fi network"

Adobe CC 2014 Applications do not show in my Applications Folder.

Hello all,
Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
I have recently installed all 2014 versions of my creative cloud software which all worked fine.
The odd thing is that they do not appear in my Applications Folder when viewing from a Finder window. They all show in LaunchPad and also when I do a 'Reveal in Finder' search from the Dock icon when the application is launched.
See screenshots attached;
01 - Applications Folder from Finder
02 - 'Reveal in Finder' from the open application dock item
The two folders show are the same path (Macintosh HD / Applications).
As you can see the 'Adobe' Folder is common to both but the CC applications no longer show in screenshot 01.
This is not a show-stopper by any means but I curious to understand why this has happened after upgrading to CC 2014
Any ideas?

HT4928 My Mac App Store account page does not show any options for unhiding purchases.

I purchased Mountain Lion and want to re-download it to make a flash drive, but it does not appear in my purchase history. Clicking Option-Purchases doesn't change anything, and my Mac App Store account info page does not have anything regarding hidden purchases, although my iTunes account info page does. They are using the same Apple ID.

App Store icon in dock not showing available updates

Hi,
I've just migrated over to a new iMac (which is lovely) but I'm having trouble with the Mac App Store icon in the Dock.
Apparently it is meant to show a small red badge when updates are available for applications bought through the store - but I never see them. If I open the App Store, and click on the [Updates] button I can see a number of available updates listed. I can then install them as normal without any problems.
So there seems to be a minor problem getting the Dock icon to update itself when updates are available.
Does anyone know the solution? Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything in the KnowledgeBase or by searching here - perhaps I don't know the magic words
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

All of your apps were migrated?
It is a large file, but you may have a damaged MAS, or may be missing a component to 10.6.7, so the only way to reinstall the MAS and to perhaps fill in any missing pieces to 10.6.7 is to download and manually install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo. It is safe to install over your current installation of Mac OS X 10.6.7.

My Mac App Store has some images not showing... just a question mark.

My App Store is not rendering some images... both in the general store and inside actual app description pages...
Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
I am on a new 2012 15" MB Pro.
Here is a screenshot...

Try restarting your Mac.
I can see all the images on v10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
If restarting doesn't help, try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.

Tom voice downloaded but not showing up in system voices

hello all, i recnetly restored my mac back to os x mountain lion from a backup, when i download the tom voice it gets installed but doesnt show up in the system voice box, how do i fix this?

My facetime is missing from my macbook pro, does not show up in applications folder or when i type it into the spotlight search bar. Why?

Please help!

You say you are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, that does not come with FaceTime preinstalled. To confirm this, open  > About this Mac, and tell us which OS X version you have.
If it's 10.6.x, open the Mac App Store and purchase FaceTime, or upgrade to a newer OS X version

Java not showing up in Applications folder

Why is Java not showing up in my Applications folder, even though it's installed and working? I've done a search for it on the computer and nothing shows up, yet it's functioning.

After you installed the latest Oracle Java update and it erased the old Apple Java Preferences app in Utilities, it also installed a Java perfpane in System Preferences.
Should visit it so the Java Control Panel pops up and you familiarize yourself with the knobs & whistles now offered.

Download Assistant not allowing install into Applications Folder

I've got a brand new MacBook Pro 13", running OS 10.8.3.
From the Adobe website I click to download Acrobat XI. It downloads and launches the Assistant. According to the web page it will automatically launch the Acrobat install. Here's what happens for me...
It starts on the Assistant home page, and requires a login. Once logged in, I must find the Acrobat product to click a download link. It opens the Save To dialog, but pointing the the User home folder, not Applications. When I change the destination to the Applications folder, I get this warning (see image)
Please let me know if someone has a suggestion for getting the Assistant to allow an install to the Applications folder. I have never had this problem with a Mac, or an Adobe product.
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Anabirch,
Please Check the permisson on application folder.
Select folder > Get Info. In the Get Info window, if the Sharing & Permissions pane is not visible, click the disclosure triangle to show it.
If required, click the lock icon, and enter a name and password. If you are the owner of an item you will need to authenticate by entering an administrator name and password to change the owner or the “Apply to enclosed” option.
Let me know if it works.
Regards,
Ashish

Lightroom 5 not showing in my applications folder

Although I have installed lightroom 5 and it is showing as up to date in the new creative cloud interface, I cannot see it anywhere in my application folder. I am therefore unable to open it. I have logged out and back in again to my account and restarted my MacBook Pro but still no joy.

I tried that Nitin and it still showed as installed and up to date in the application manager, so I did not have the option to re-install. I shut down my MacBook for an hour and after restarting, it is now allowing me to install again, which is very strange. Thank you most kindly anyway.
