Approved applications not showing up in simple finder (parental controls)

I set up a limited access account for my son and turned on the simple finder option. I went through and selected the programs that I want him to have access to. However, not all the selected applications show up in the simple finder of the limited account. A few programs that were downloaded (a simple paint like program and a word processing program) don't show up, and I can't figure out how to get my son access to these short of turning off the simple finder. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm not sure what the answer to this would be, because I don't use the Simple Finder mode much. However, you may have to specify in the Parental Controls preferences exactly which applications you want on his account. For example, instead of taking off some applications, add on the paint application and such. Post back here if you need more details or if that doesn't work. Another thing you could always do is to copy an application over your account into his, although I'm not entirely sure how you could do that. Hope this helps.

Simple Finder/Parental Controls Problem

I recently did an erase and install on my eMac and am now having problems with Simple Finder and Parental Controls.
I have an account set up for my daughter and I want to have Simple Finder running with about a half dozen or so applications for her to use. Prior to the erase-and-install, I had this set up and running fine. But now, even though I select all the programs I want under the Parental Controls preferences, only three show up (Safari, Dictionary, and TextEdit).
I tried deleting and re-creating the account, repairing permissions, turning around twice and clicking my heels together, etc. with no success.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I ran disk utility and repaired the permissions--is that similar to what you suggest?
When I did a erase-and-install of Leopard, I assume that it ran through a disk inspection and repair routine. But perhaps something more is needed.

Safari Simple Finder Parental Control

I set up a Simple Finder type account for my son on my iMac. Tried to configure Safari but couldn't get anywhere as:
a) when I launched Safari, it appeared without any windows open
b) nothing happens when I select 'New Window' from the file menu in Safari
c) when I select 'New Tab' a window appear comprising just the tool bar, URL text box and a whole lot of 'brushed steel'
Safari preferences have been set correctly (even selected and deselected partental controls to see if anything happened but no luck)
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Thanks

PS CC 2014 not showing up in Mac Finder after update

Just did the update/install of PS CC 2014, and while I can see the application in my applications folder if I do a spotlight search, it does not show up in Mac Finder when I go to my applications folder. Actually this is the case for several CC 2014 apps after the update. For example, Muse CC 2014 and InDesign CC 2014 show up in my applications folder, but not Illustrator CC 2014 or PS CC 2014. Anybody else experience this and/or have a resolution? I did a restart after the cc 2014 app updates to see if that would fix anything, but it didn't.
It's annoying to have to do a spotlight search to reinstall all my plug-ins and to just launch the app.

Craig, thanks for the reply, but it's not a matter of updating the dock icons after the update. I realize I need to drag the new CC 2014 apps to the dock if I want to access them there. It's more of an issue where all the CC 2014 app updates except Muse and InDesign weren't showing up in my HD > Applications folder where every other app on my machine resides. Instead, most of the CC 2014 updates got installed to my User > Applications folder for some bizarre reason. Those updates are the ONLY apps in that folder.
Anyone know why they would get installed there instead of the normal HD > Applications folder?

I have a disk inserted into my MAC that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How do I eject it?

I have a disk inserted into my MacBook Pro that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How can I get it "ejected?" (I've checked in system preferences under CDs & DVDs and did not find a solution.)

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Approved PO not showing in LOV in Receipts form

I approved a PO by updating po_headers_all in the database, after the notification for approval was not showing up in the approver's mailbox for some reason. But I cannot find this PO in the LOV while trying to receive against it. I made a change in the PO, triggered reapproval, and got it approved by the normal process, yet it didn't show up. I made another PO, by copying from the first one , got it approved, but still it doesn't show up in the Receipts form. Can anyone assist?

Hi,
You are not supposed to update the table PO_HEADERS_ALL directly for approval and there will not be any effect if you update from Backend.
Whenever you submit a purchase order or requisition for approval, purchasing uses Oracle Workflow technology in the background to handle the approval process.
The PO Approval workflow is initiated when you choose Submit for Approval (and then choose OK) in the Approve Document window.
You cannot receive a PO without Proper workflow approval.

Prabhu

The approver does not show in the approval preview after saving sh. cart

Hi ,
I would appreciate if anyone can reply me for fixing the problem.
Problem: The approver does not show in the approval preview after the shopping cart is saved, however before saving the shopping cart it shows the approver in the approval preview. We are using two workflows: WS10000060 Auto approval and WS10000276- 1 level spending limit approval.
Details of the problem:
The following steps specify the problem in detail , it is applicable for both the workflows WS10000060 Auto approval and WS10000276- 1 level spending limit approval.
1.     Shopping created
2.     The approval preview shows the approver ( please see #1 in the attached document) before saving the shopping cart.
3.     Shopping cart is saved.
4.     After saving , Check status transaction shows the shopping cart in status awaiting approval
5.     The section approval shows No workflow started , application error occurred
6.     T.Code SWI1 shows the workitem created for the shopping cart but in error.
7.     The work item container does not show any agents
I would appreciate it anyone can reply as to how to fix it ASAP.
Best Regards
Pawan

Hi Disha,
I have synchronised through SWU_OBUF several times since yesterday , but still at the same place.
In the workflow customising - The only red entry which I have is for check entries from HR control tables under Mainiatin definition env. and Mainiatin guded procedure for gateway under guided procedure (new in SRM 5.0) .The verification workflow works fine . Also I think these entries will not impact the workflow functionalhese were red even in my earlier system .
SLG1 shows all green entries and there are no entries in RZ20.
I have specified task TS10008126 as general task as I want anyone who is identified by SLAapprover should be able to process the workitem and as per documentation I can specify this task as standard task.
What should I do.. , anything am I missing .
Thanks and Best Regards
Pawan

Interesting. Googling, I see that someone posted that on these discussions as well:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3331216?start=0&tstart=0
which mentions what I recall: that Airdrop (as implemented by Apple) would create an on-demand ad-hoc Wi-Fi connection, even if you were already connected to an access point. Normally, you can't connect to multiple Wi-Fi networks, thus the reason for Airdrop only supported on newer Wi-Fi chips.
And Apple's KB:

Application not working..grays out;finder wont launch 1712 error;

I was trying to transfer photos from my dell to my mac. i successfully transferred one file. when I copied another photo file into the same cruzer..the mac did not "see" that file (although it showed up on the dell). when i removed the cruzer from the mac..the application logo at bottom was grayed out and would not respond. Then the finder says..will not launch ..error 1712 ..THen the macbook will not shut down..only if if remove the battery. When i reinstall the battery..the startup desktop is grayed out and then looks like it is installing something at the bottom...screen is bright again, but same problem.
how do I fix this??
Thanks..
Joanne

i have not received a reply to this question. However , I went to the Genius bar today and this is how everything was fixed:
Go to "spotlight" and type in the word activity.
A list will show up and click on each to quit each one.
After this was done..all worked just fine.
Also...rather than removing the battery if the mac will not shut down..just hold down the power on button and it should power off . When the battery is removed that computer thinks it hads "died" and it will put the computer into a gray save type mode. So avoid this by holding the power button down,
Hope this helps someone???

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.

Applications not showing in privacy settings mountain lion

I have found that since updating to Mountain, no apps are showing in the Privacy>Contacts settings sheet of the Security preferences and hence apps like Cobook and Alfred are unable to access contacts. Uninstalling and reinstalling the apps has not resolved this. Evernote on the other hand shows in the Locations settings sheet.
Is there a way to force a reset of this preference?

Peter

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Ipod Classic in disk mode does not show on desktop or finder

Ipod Classic in disk mode shows in Itunes but not on desktop or in finder? Can't add any files to it.

With the Finder as the front most application, choose Finder -> Preferences -> General and make sure there is a tick mark next to CDs, DVDs, and iPods, under the option Show these items on the desktop.
Any luck there?

IPod 80gb classic not showing in iTunes or Finder.

Recently my Ipod has started to give trouble - it would have difficulty syncing in iTunes (some times requiring 4 or 5 eject/connects before iTunes would recognise it and start to sync).
Then new symptoms started - after connecting the iPod to the mac, the iPod would immediately say "okay to disconnect" and disconnect the iPod, even though I had not asked it to do so.
Now it has gone further - when I connect my iPod to my mac it simply does not show up in either iTunes or Finder.
Any ideas? Could the battery be dying? Seems a lot of people have posted similar problems with their 80gb Ipods on this forum recently but I have not yet found any with all of the above symptoms.
Hardware details -
1. Ipod classic 80gb - about 3 years old.
2. Imac (intel) - just over a year old.

Aye - tried all the steps and suggestions listed in the document but no luck.
Could this be an issue with the iPods battery?
Otherwise I might have to get the nearest apple shop to look at it but i'd like to try all other possible avenues first.
Many thanks,
Swift101.

Adobe .dng files do not show as Thumbnails in Finder

I've recently downloaded some Adobe .dng (raw image files) from their site as part of a Lightroom tutorial, but I find that they do not show up in Finder as thumbnails. They all just show the same icon, (which looks like a camera aperture), and this is not helpful when trying to work out which is which.
Is there any way to get Finder to show them as thumbnails please?
I'm running OS X 10.9.4.
I don't know if it's relevant, but I did have Apple Aperture installed until I uninstalled it recently.
Could uninstalling that have removed raw file handling abilities? On the other hand, when I tried to install the RAWcameraupdate5.04.dmg file from Apple my system advised me that I already had a more recent version installed.

I had the same issue in the past but whatever, it cleared up and I can see the thumbnails in 10.9.4. Other's have reported this in the past so you're not alone. I honestly don't know what the fix is but it has to do with the Finder so if you've got some utilities like Cocktail or can try some stuff either in Terminal or in Single User mode, might fix the issue. If you're up to date with the Apple Raw Software updates but still don't see the thumbs, I suspect it's the Finder.
