? Applications not showing in spotlight

For some reason, even though I have 'Applications' listed as number one for searching in Spotlight - they don't show up at all.
Any documents or mails about the app get lists but not the applications.
Interesting that even using the Alfred add-on, I can type the app name in and again don't get it in the search at all.
I tried rebuilding using disk utility as well as Onyx - to no success.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bohdan

Go into the System/Spotlight uncheck Applications, go to the Privacy preference pane and add the applications folder to it.  Reboot, go back to the Spotlight preference pane and Check application and remove applications from the Privacy window.  This will force a reindexing of the Applications folder.

  • Applications not showing up in System Profiler?

    Anyone know why? All it says is "no information found" and hitting "refresh" makes no difference.
    Could it be somehow it uses spotlight to find the applications?
    It shows up the same blank page whether I boot into 64 or 32 bit.
    Thanks!

    Applications still not showing up. I also tried a safe boot; no go. The safe boot did solve another issue I was having; my security panel in system preferences would not open. After it did in safe boot, it opens in my main administrator account.
    But no go on the applications in sys profiler. However, I did install the same 10.6.5 on another internal drive with all updates, and THAT boot WILL show me all my applications, including all the ones on two parallels windows versions (XP and 7) and my bootcamp windows drive, so if I need a list, I'll do that.
    I'm guessing probably a symbolic link to the applications folder is amiss or possibly system profiler preferences.
    But don't know how to futz with those.
    Thanks.
    P.S. OK, I do know how to futz with the sysprofiler plist. Not the problem. Did the usual... dragged it to the trash, opened up system profiler, it created a new plist, STILL no applications showing up.
    I haven't moved my applications nor anything in my home folder nor changed my name or anything. Just really strange.

  • IDVD not showing in Spotlight

    For some reason iDVD does not appear in Spotlight. All other applications show, only iDVD is missing. I have to manually open iDVD from the Application folder.
    I couldn't find any clues on this forum as to why this is happening. Anyone got any ideas?

    You're guess as to the problem you were experiencing seems logical.
    Btw,Nice work!
    Glad you're up and running.

    There was a known issue in 11.1.2.1 where a patch fixed this issue, however, this is 11.1.2.2 and I see no applicable patch.
    any ideas where to go from here?
    Joe Orgill

    Yes the issue in 11.1.2.1 should be fixed in 11.1.2.2
    The 11.1.2.2 Readme has it in the list of defects fixed:
    12421352 - You cannot select Financial Management Classic applications from Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager.
    It may be worth logging with Oracle is you believe the configuration is correct.

  • Application not Showing Up on Application Report

    I have 7 computers to manage and on one system InDesign (CS4) does not show up on the application usage report. I know she's using the application because this is the primary software we use in our department. Can anyone tell me why it's not showing up on the application report?
    Her system is an imac 10.4.11

    Have you verified that the app is in it's original location with the correct name?
    What version of ARD are you using?
    Have you checked the reporting settings on that system? Are you getting usage for other apps and just not ID?

  • Applications not showing / listing

    Hi, I am usually tech savvy, but so far I have had no luck at all trying to get the applications to list on my BB Desktop Software v6.1.0.35 - only shows the apps I have installed from or have available on my PC.  Does not show any other apps that are currently installed on my BB.  Also, no matter how much I have removed, still shows 144MB remaining.
    On the BB itself, I can see all the applications listed (even the hidden ones like BB Maps), but how do I manage these from my PC?
    PLEASE HELP!  Thanks.

    hmm... just keep looking. You might not have an applications or download folder. All themes and devices are different.
    Look at Options > Advanced > Applications. Is your application listed there?
    if so, With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Now, look all over the homescreen again for the application in question.

  • Why are my applications not showing up?

    After I downloaded the 3.1.1 update for my iTouch some of my applications are not showing up on my iTouch. I tried restarting the iTouch to see if that would help but it didn't. The applications still show up in my iTunes list but they are not on the iTouch. Is this problem because some of the free apps are not compatible with this update or is it something else? Please help me with this. Thanks.

    Wow that worked. I haven't gotten a chance to learn all the new stuff that comes with the update all I noticed was that my apps were missing as soon as I updated my iTouch. I found them now using the search feature. Thanks for the help.

  • App Store Application - not showing updates

    My app store application isn't showing available updates unless I open the app up and refresh it. With my iPod Touch and old phone whenever an app update became available it showed the little red number on the app without actually having to open it. Now I don't know if there is any updates unless I manually open it up and refresh it. Also, the same thing is happening with my facebook app. It's not showing notifications unless I open it and refresh it as well. Any ideas? I do have my push notifications turned on.

    Hi,
    Restart your iPhone.
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    See if there are updates available.

  • Application not showing in Application Catalog

    I have created an app containing SCCM Administration Console install with the only deployment method as Script. It is advertised to all users as "available". It seems that after I added Application Web portal roles - the app is no longer visible in standalone
    Application Center. When I click on the web site link in it - it opens the web app page and application is showed as available to install. Moreover, it installs correctly from browser and shows itself in standalone AppCenter after the installation.
    I tried to go through all refresh cycles on the client but with no luck - the app is present on web site but not visible in AppCenter. Please help me in troubleshooting that, what logs do i need to inspect in that case?

    Hi,
    If you deploy it as available to all users it will only be visible in the Application Catalog, if you advertise it to a device it will be shown in Software Center.
    There is nothing to troubleshoot this behavior is expected and by design.

  • Applications not listed in spotlight

    Over the past week, spotlight as stopped listing applications as search results. Spotlight is also not searching my mail, contact, folders, etc. It is only showing Wikipedia, Bing and web searches.  Here is a screen shot of a search...

    I appreciate any help.

  • Oracle lite application not showing blob images in BI reports

    Hi,
    We have an application running in Oracle lite, we integrated the BI publisher reports (PDF reports are generated Using Data template and RTF file with Java API for BI publisher) with the application. Its been working fine for a long time.
    Now we are showing some images on the pdf report, the images are stored in the Oracle lite database as blobs. My application fails when translating the Data template to xml data. I am not getting any exception other than out of memory error after a while.
    anybody had the same problem? Let me know if you need more information on this problem.
    Any help will be great!!

    Hi Carsten
    That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
    The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
    Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
    Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
    After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
    (One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
    @Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
    The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
    Thank you all!
