Applications Volume not found in Finder (Mac owner for 3 weeks)
Hi, I goofed today. I had an error in my Verify Disk (Below), so I thought I would boot from my OSX CDs, and fix it in Repair Disk. I ended up actually going through a new installation, choosing the non erase option. (I did not know how to boot from CDs)
However, the install would not complete. I booted from the Backup Drive and that worked well and copied the backup to my Mac HD. (Using Carbon Copy Cloner on a LaCie FireWire Drive)
All seems well except in Finder, when I select Applications, it says Volume not found. However, when I choose Applications from my Macintosh HD Volume, the Applications are there and work fine. Documents, Photos Music is all accessible from Finder left side Icons.
What do I need to do to get my system back to normal?
For future reference, how do I fix the initial problem, and how do I boot from the OS CDs
Thanks for your help

Actually, it sounds like you have some sort of an alias problem. Just exactly where in Finder are you getting the error? Is it the Sidebar? If so, drag the Applications folder out of the Sidebar, it will go "poof"--then just drag the folder from MacHD into the Sidebar.

I have three iphoto_libraries stored in a external disk PASSPORT (one for each trip imovie Im making -Ive managed this way the libraries so to not confuse the trips) while the actual files are in OTHER external disk LACIE. And everything was fine: imovie find each library, could work with it, or iphoto could edit the files.
But one day everything crashed at the same time: i opened iphoto to find 3 different scenarios:
1) iphoto_library GREECE was there, but not the albums i prepared. no events. when double click in any of them: "Volume not found"
2) iphoto_library ITALY was there, and the albums i prepared too, but empty.
in both cases I can only see the photos in 'photos' because 'events' shows some events with photo preview and some with no preview, just some kind of preset clipart palm tree, but if i enter the event, photos are there but again: when double click in any item: "Volume not found"
3) iphoto_library ISRAEL was there, the albums too, when double click in any of them: all OK
The 3 libraries was managed the same way. Meaning: Ive imported photos to iphoto from external disk LACIE in a iphotolibrary stored in another external disk PASSPORT. Also: I don't have unchecked the option "copy to file" or something like that. photos where moved, not copied. Also i have all the movie_libraries in the PASSPORT as well. What happened??
Solution? Nothing yet. Ive moved now all the photo folders from LACIE together in PASSPORT with the iphotolibraries but problem persist:
HOW CAN I TELL THE LIBRARIES WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE VOLUMES NOW?
"Volumes" are the original files aren't them?
Please help. this is so annoying to try and find in the forum, to tricky to explain
I have a Macbook pro retina Yosemite 10.10.1 / iphoto 9.6 (910-29)/ iMovie 10.0.6
THANK YOU
VickyThe 3 libraries was managed the same way. Meaning: Ive imported photos to iphoto from external disk LACIE in a iphotolibrary stored in another external disk PASSPORT.
This is not clear, especially when you say
I don't have unchecked the option "copy to file" or something like that. photos where moved, not copied.
Especially as the message you're getting is typical of a library where the ' option "copy to file" or something like that' is unchecked.
So it's a simple question:
Are you these Managed or Referenced Libraries?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. -
An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications.
Hi,
I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.6. Recently my computer encountered a serious hardware problem and everything had to be reinstalled. Thankfully, I was able to salvage all of my files. When I reopened iPhoto however, it appeared as iPhoto v6.0.6. Previously I am very sure I had version 7 or later. Now when I want to upgrade my iPhoto a screen appears with that message
"An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications."
I've been to nearly every forum to try and solve my problem but it still doesn't work. I'd appreciate any help I can get and apologize if communication-wise, my computing knowledge/terms are slightly limited.
Thanks.If you had iPhoto 7 then you should have the disks that it came on. Download and run Pacifist on the disks that came with your computer to see what version of iPhoto is available. If it's V6 the you're getting the message because the database is damaged.
If that's the case about the only recourse I can think of is to try the following:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
The original library will still be available for further attempts at recovery.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard. -
"application descriptor not found" when trying to create .ane file
I have been trying to create a very simple native extention for the better part of a week now and I just can't seem to figure it out.
Using tutorials and guides from the following sources:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/extending-air.html
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/devices/pdfs/DevelopingActionScriptExtens ionsForAdobeAIR.pdf
http://custardbelly.com/blog/2011/09/21/air-native-extension-example-ibattery-for-ios/
I managed to get up to the point where I need to create the ane file, but I am getting "application descriptor not found".
So, here is the detailed explanation of everything I have done to date. Can someone tell me where I have gone wrong?
1. On the mac, I created an xcode project, using the iBattery example code from the link above, I managed to create static library .a file. I am not going to discount the possiblity that there are many errors still in this file, but I am going to assume for the moment that my current problem is not related to any issues in this static library.
2. Copied the static library "DaveExtention.a" to my PC where I have flash CS5.5 installed (yes, I know there is a typo in the name)
3. In my app folder, I created a lib folder that now contains the following files:
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\DaveExtension.fla
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\DaveExtension-app.xml
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\com\extensions\DaveExtension\DaveExtension.as
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\com\extensions\DaveExtension\BatteryStateEnum.as
I set my project to compile an swc into the build folder and simply put the following code into my project:
import com.extensions.DaveExtension.BatteryStateEnum;
import com.extensions.DaveExtension.DaveExtension;
var ext:DaveExtension = new DaveExtension;
var batterystate:BatteryStateEnum;
stop();
I then publish the swc.
4. Once the swc is created in the build folder, I copy the libDaveExtention.a to the build folder and create the extension.xml file, which looks like this:
<extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/2.5">
<id>com.extensions.DaveExtension</id>
<versionNumber>1</versionNumber>
<platforms>
<platform name="iPhone-ARM">
<applicationDeployment>
<nativeLibrary>libDaveExtention.a</nativeLibrary>
<initializer>ExtInitializer</initializer>
<finalizer>ExtFinalizer</finalizer>
</applicationDeployment>
</platform>
</platforms>
</extension>
5. I make a copy of the swc file and rename it to .zip... I then extract library.swf from it and delete the zip. My build folder now looks like this:
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build\DaveExtension.swc
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build\extension.xml
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build\libDaveExtention.a
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build\library.swf
6. I downloaded the flex 4.5.1.21328 sdk and the Air 3.0 sdk, which I copied into the flex sdk folder (which is located in "D:\SDKs\flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328")
7. In my build folder, I create a simple batch file called buildane.bat with the following command:
D:\SDKs\flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328\bin\adl -package -target ane DaveExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DaveExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libDaveExtention.a
8. I then open a command prompt to my build folder and run buildane.bat and this is my output:
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build>buildane.bat
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build>D:\SDKs\flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328\bin\adl -package -target ane DaveExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DaveExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libDaveExtention.a
application descriptor not found
No matter what I try, I can't get passed this.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?>>D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build>D:\SDKs\flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328\bin\adl -package -target ane DaveExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DaveExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libDaveExtention.a
Either its a typo or by mistake you wrote adl in yout bat file. Change it to adt since that is the file that will package your ane. adl is just used for debugging/running on Desktop.
Hope this helps. let me know how it goes.
Thanks,

You will need to buy the newest iWork so it works again. I had the same problem.
No, there is no need to re-purchase iWork. If it was installed from a retail boxed DVD, it needs to be reinstalled from the DVD. If a license was purchased electronically for the iWork '09 trial, reinstalling from the downloaded dmg will need to be done. If any of the apps were purchased from the Mac App Store, they can be reinstalled from the Mac App Store. -
The definition of base class Application was not found.
Hello:
I have been coding in Flash Builder Burrito and publishing to my Xoom for a few weeks. All of a sudden at the end of the day I'm getting this compiler error which says:
1017: The definition of base class Application was not found. AppName.mxml /AppName/src Unknown Flex Problem
I sometimes hit the wrong key with I try to copy and paste and all of a sudden a new window will open for source of a default component which I never wanted to edit. I'm afraid I somehow deleted or modified the default class defnition of Application?
I don't understand why this would come out of the blue, I was working on a function within a class that was drawing points ... Then all off a sudden I'm getting this error and it's driving me nuts.
I tried to reinstall FB Burrito on my Mac, but after all that work it still says the same thing. Wouldn't it replace the default class defs?
Please help!Wow, some really strange behavior.
OK, so here is what I'm going through. I reinstall, import the project and compiles.
Then I uncomment the new section which contains the following code:
lineStyle(1.0,0x8ea4bf);
var line_commands:Vector.<int> = new Vector.<int>();
line_commands.push(GraphicsPathCommand.LINE_TO, GraphicsPathCommand.LINE_TO, GraphicsPathCommand.LINE_TO, GraphicsPathCommand.LINE_TO);
var line_coord:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>();
line_coord.push(0,0, newW, angle, newW, (newH+angle), 0, newH);
drawPath(line_commands, line_coord);
I get 3 diffrent errors, which lead up to the error listed in the topic.
At first it says that "int" isn't a valid type and it points to this line:
var line_commands:Vector.<int> = new Vector.<int>();
Then I take int out so the line looks like this:
var line_commands:Vector = new Vector();
Then it says I can't nest classes and it points to the main MXML. I go to the main MXML then the error switches to say "The definition of base class Application was not found.".
I did figure out how to fix this with out reinstalling. I have to delete the project from my list (making sure to comment out the code above), then re-launch FB Burrito, then re-import the project and it works.
This is way nuts! I dont understand ... am I crazy? -

Kinur,
Yes, it's a good idea to purchase first, upgrade later.
As far as I know, there is no other way.
We can't upgrade iWork '08 into iWork '09 and, applying an updater require the availability of an existing set of applications of the same generation.

PLease, I am trying to install I DVD but it says that an eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications.
Somebody can help me?It sounds as if you're trying to install an update rather than the actual application itself. iDVD is no longer included with new Macs and you'll need to use your original Applications disc to install it (or, if you never had it at all, but iLife '11 from Amazon to get iDVD).
Good luck,

Hi i haven't updated my iDVD seen 2005 and to get the new one i need 7.0.4 first and i downloaded it from the apple website and when i go into the updating process its says "An eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications." why
Because you need to buy iLife 08 or newer on DVD first. If you're using iDVD 05, you probably have a PowerPC Mac and can't use iLife 11.

/Applications Folder not opening in Finder but works in Terminal
Hi guys,
I recently upgraded to Yosemite, but I'm not sure if this is a Yosemite-related bug.
My application folder (/Applications) does not open in finder (see screenshots)
The spinner keep spinning in the bottom right corner.
Also, when I "Get Info", it keeps calculating the size and never completes.
Also, when I drag the Applications folder to the dock, nothing happens.
However, it works fine in Terminal:
$ cd /; ls -lh
drwxrwxr-x+ 129 root admin 4.3K Oct 17 03:14 Applications
When I go inside the Applications folder (in terminal), I can list all the files in it.Oddly enough, most of them are greyed out, and it only says "total 8" when I have way more than 8 apps.
$ cd /Applications; ls -lh
total 8

I can even open my apps in Terminal:
$ cd /Applications; open Notes.app
Mission Control works fine as well.
Does anyone know how I can see my Applications in Finder?
I've tried the usual Disk Utility (verify/repair permissions) and even reinstalled a fresh copy of Mac OSX Yosemite (using recovery).
Note: I did mess around with ~/Library/Preferences immediately after installing Yosemite because of the background flashing bug (I deleted some plists files to fix that bug).
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!RonHerrema wrote:
Drew, I have previously done everything you have listed as possible remedies, with no success.
Well in that case the options I see are…
1.
This seems like a 'defaults write tweak' or similar system level modification that is failing on the latest OS.
Revert any applied system tweaks from apps like Secrets or Onyx, that is if you remember applying any (these can be things like 'no-glass dock', no shadows on screenshots etc).
Your Terminal may have the command history saved. Try 'history' in that app to see if you have any 'defaults write' changes listed. Post them here for help to revert them.
It seems likely to me that the 'background flashing bug' mentioned earlier by helloziy was fixing a bad defaults write setting (preferences store the defaults write tweaks). If you have one 'bad tweak', there are probably others elsewhere on the system.
2.
I would consider backing up, erasing the internal disk & clean installing the OS. Migrate ONLY your user data back to the new install (avoid Applications & 'other files' - they could be the reason for this issue). You will need to reinstall apps as you need them.
3.
Another possibility is using EtreCheck to view what everyone has installed & running…
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
It would basically be a case of comparing affected reports & then removing or reinstalling apps until something changes (a crapshoot).
Etrecheck will not tell you about any 'defaults write' or other system modifications.
4.
I'd backup & consider removing all system preferences. This is drastic & may break many things until you alter the default settings!
Reboot into recovery mode & remove the contents of /Library/Preferences from the boot disk, it will need to be done in Terminal.
You need to do this when the OS isn't running because Mac OS will cache preferences and some values will be written back to new files even after deleting the original files. Keep a backup of the files handy incase the OS breaks on next reboot!
Sorry it's not a solution, but it may help some diagnosis that get you closer to one. -
Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version. Error message reads "Application Application Support not found". "Uninstall and reload". I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success. Help??
I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

iWork CD came with the iMac three years ago.
Need to upgrade Pages and Numbers from Pages '09 Version 4.0.4 etc. as I use iPad a lot, iCloud and have Mountain Lion installed.
Downloaded the package but clicking to install says "An eligible Keynote application was not found in the location /Applications/iWork '09"
Well, it IS there but what can I do?Hi Jnorris234, Please help if you can.
I'm haveing this very same problem. I've tried to repeat all that you did to fix this and I still get the - "An eligible Keynote application was not found in the location /Applications/iWork '09."
Although my iWork '09 file was in it's proper place - (Applications folder) and it included Pages 4.1, Numbers 2.1 and Keynote 5.1 - I have been unable to update my iWork apps. I've downloaded all updates from Apple support to install updates direct - (the app store does NOT recognize my iWork '09 suite). But no luck.
I have created a new folder and put it in my applications folder - then named it iWork '09 and moved the iWork apps into it then tried the update but no luck.
Any thoughts? -
trying to install itunes on win 8.1. keep getting error apple application support not found. asks me to uninstall and install itunes. i tried several times and keep getting same error.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I've just installed iTunes on my Windows 8.1 (64-bit) laptop, but i can't open it. It keeps telling me that Apple application was not found. What should i do now?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

apple application was not found, apple application support is required to run ituneshelper. please uninstall itunes and install itunes again error 2. What does this mean?
You can try installing 7-Zip (free), then right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file to unpack its contents, and install AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. It may still not install successfully, but if it doesn't you may get a more useful error message regarding the reason why.
