Applications showing up as folders and cannot be launched

I have a set of applications that no longer show up as icons now that I have installed snow leopard. the applicaitons show up as folders and not icons for applications. This did not happen in Leopard, but now that I have a new computer(s) in snow leopard it is happening.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks in advance.

I fixed the problem by copying the applications from the server while on a Tiger machine and then taking the copy to the SL machine and placing in a new folder on the server. The applications came up as application icons and not folders and are running okay on leopard.
The original applications on the server are still showing as folders under snow leopard, however they are applications under leopard and tiger as they should be. Very puzzling but with a little ingenuity I have working for now.
Maybe someone can explain what is happening of the developer will come up with an answer. I have not told them my solution yet.
Thanks for the help.

    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Are you using iCloud?
    If this were happening to me, the first thing I'd try is to remove the preferences files from your home library folder.
    Do you know how to do that?

  • Just completed a clean install of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and the Adobe Application Manager does not work and cannot install a fresh copy from Adobe

    Just re-installed a fresh copy of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and somehow the Adobe Application Manager does not work and therefore cannot verify my copy.  What should I do?
    I get a message saying that Adobe Application Manager may be damaged and that I should install a new version of AAM.  But after downloading a fresh copy of AAM and doing the install, the program (AAM) still will not install.  It is like an infinite loop!
    Please, someone help!
    Thanks!

    HI gener7!
    I'm sorry but I am not on Creative Cloud.  I'm still on CS6 and it was the Adobe Application Manager that wasn't working and I could not install the update to this application.  My AAM version is:  8.0.0160
    The link you provided was the update that I wanted to install but it does not work.  A window shows up during that install that says:
    We've encountered the following issues.
    Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
    and then the link to the Adobe Support Advisor which leads to a "Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" page.
    Thanks!

  • Showing/ Accessing hidden folders and files

    Hi,
    In order to reinstal an application (Trend Micro sync), I first need to remove a selecion of hidden files that I used on Leopard to find under the account/library/ Application support.... They are "hidden folders and files". Under Lion I don't know how to set the finder to show them to me, especially as I don't remember the name !
    Thanks for your help

    [What Should Be Invisible Isn't|http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/toovisible.html]
    [Invisible Finder 2.1|http://www.versiontracker.com/php/dlpage.php?id=9867&db=mac&pid=7198&kind=& lnk=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ragedownload.com%2Finvisfinder.sit] lists just invisible files. JuhOS X lists all files and flags invisible ones. Some applications let you toggle invisibility, though this doesn't take effect until you restart the Finder.
    The other thing to do is verify your drive with Disk Utility. Your computer isn't likely to be suddenly deciding to hide files, but aberrant behavior could be an indicator of a corrupt drive.

  • When i bookmark a new URL and want to save it in a particular folder or a NEW folder I click on "Choose" but when it opens it shows no current folders and I can't open thr "New" tab to create a new folder.

    no other info

    Sounds like a driver issue. I never tested in bridge, so I could be wrong. But it sounds to me that when you are connected to that screen, your settings are not set to the full resolution of that screen.

  • .bundles and .frameworks showing as regular folders

    For some reason my .bundle files and .frameworks are showing as Regular folders and not Lego Blocks like they use to. I tried logging on to another account and even creating a new account and the problem still exists.
    I have tried the usual steps like repairing permissions and even using lsregister to repair file associations, but nothing I have tired has corrected the issue.

    No section in the Get Info for 'Open With' it is not even showing up like it does for .txt, .pdf, ect.
    It should, I believe.
    It sounds like a desktop related file for handling bundle icons is borked. Do you know your way around plists/preference files?
    Try deleting the com.apple.desktop.plist

  • Media Service Stops Running and Cannot Restart

    I get "One or more services are not running" - when I try to repair the issue, it doesn't fix it.
    When I go to Services, to try to restart the service, Windows Server Media Streaming Service (wssmsc), it states "Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure."
    When I go to "Log On" for the service, it shows "This account:  Workgroup\MediaAdmin$  Not sure what the password should be.
    When I go to the "Dashboard" and try to restart the "Media", there is no option under "Settings", just "General" and "Anywhere Access".
    This is on WSE 2012 (NOT R2).
    Any assistance would be appreciated!
    Thanks. Paul Carvajal

  • Showing hard drive folders in JTree

    does anyone have or know of an example or tutorial that will show all the folders and files on the C:Drive?
    I looked at the examples in javadocs but they only show folders that are made up.

    Why don't you use a JFileChooser ?

    You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
    You can also  make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.
