Apps "Disappearing" From System?

Hey there.
On My MacBook Pro Running 10.5.6 i seem to be missing apps.
I started noticing about 3 weeks ago when my school copy of Illustrator just disappeared.
Today i had to restart. Be fore i did i was using Flash Player, and after it restart its not on my System.
What's going on? Im totally clueless, and its getting really annoying.
Thanks for your help

You apparently are trying to run the application from the DVD rather than installing it into your Applications folder. That is why it disappears after you quit using it.
You need to install the applications into your Applications folder following the installation instructions that came with the product. From what you have described that is not what you are doing. And you are not providing the exact steps you are going through to install Illustrator.

  • Calendar app disappeared from iphone ios7

    Just noticed that my Calendar app disappeared from my iPhone 5 - ios7.  It was visible after upgrade, although I hardly use it, but noticed today that it had disappeard.  Anyone know how to get it back, or what happened?

    I did a Spotlight Search, and it's not there.  The "Gadgets" I'm talking about is "Gadgets by Esteve Fiol Sastre" and it's a bunch of tools like level, flashlight, protractor, etc., and that one is not in the App Store.  If something is removed from the App Store, does it automatically disappear from the iPhone?   Thanks,  fselce

  • Safari app disappeared from iPhone screen

    Safari app
    disappeared from my ipone screen

    You can't delete it.  Look through all your screens and in all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore it (and other iOS apps) to its original location.

  • Downloaded Apps Disappeared from iPhone 5S

    All downloaded apps disappeared from my iPhone 5S. The restriction setting is off and I don't have hidden apps. I tried to reset my phone, but did not work either. When I checked from App Store, it said "open", but I couldn't click open. When a new app finished installing, it also disappeared. HELP!

    Assuming you don't have any restrictions set on your apps (Settings --> General --> Restrictions, Apps)
    If the app has suddenly disappeared, but when you go to the App Store can it says "Open" instead of insta//download, that means the app is still there, but iOS seems to have lost track of it.
    You can try backing up and restoring from a backup.
    Or
    You can try deleting the app and re-installing:
    Settings --> Usuage (wait for the app list to load) and then you delete it there, and then re-install.
    (You WILL lose ALL data that was saved under that app tho!)

  • ITunes Festival app disappeared from my Apple TV menu screen...

    My iTunes Festival app disappeared from my Apple TV menu screen, does anyone know how to bring it back again?
    I restarted my Apple TV and everything but nothing is happening... please help!

    I may be wrong but I suspect the festival was a limited time free extra not directly advertised on the AppleTV page.  I agree it's a shame it's gone - I browsed it and there were a few artists I might have watched who were not available as they had not played yet.
    There may well be licensing/contractual limitations for how long Apple can broadcast the material set up by the music studios and artists.
    If things are added for free temporarily it would be nice if they gave some kind of expiration date warning.
    Send some feedback to Apple:

  • Apps disappeared from "Use Cellular Data For" after iOS 8.0.2

    Normally, when you go to Settings->Cellular Data, you can see a list of all apps that use data, and you are able to turn cellular data on or off for each app individually.
    I had been using this feature since iOS 7 without problem, until I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2.
    Now, only "FaceTime" and "Passbook" appear under this list. All other apps, including Mail, Safari, etc. have disappeared.
    What's worse, apps for which I had turned cellular data for---such as YouTube---cannot be turned back on, because they have disappeared from this list. Therefore, I am permanently unable to use YouTube without Wifi because of this bug. The same goes for every app for which I had turned off cellular data.
    I tried restoring the iPhone (it's an iPhone 5), to no avail.
    Does anyone else have this issue, or is it a weird bug with just my phone?

    Hi jah_mez69,
    No, I did not solve this problem, and it persists in iOS 8.1.2.
    Apple have a reluctance to take bugs affecting smaller groups of users seriously. With regard to this bug, their attitude is that we should just erase our phones and set them up from scratch. This is something I refuse to do.
    I did open a new bug about this in the bug tracker (bug #18732898). It hasn't been closed yet, which means at the very least, they have not decided to totally ignore this bug forever. However, don't get your hopes up for a fix.
    I have learned to live with it, but it has pushed me closer to choosing Android for my next phone. I am fairly confident that iOS software bugs are far less important to Apple than developing smart watches and payment systems and getting the next "hot" feature out the door.

  • App Store App disappeared from my mac after 10.6.8 v1.1 combo update

    Hi,
    does anybody knows why my App store application disappeared from the applications and wrom the entire system after the 10.6.8 combo update?
    Is there a way to get it back?
    thanks

    >>does anybody knows why my App store application disappeared ...?
    No-one knows, beyond it showing that you've either some software/hardware issues, or just that things go wrong occasionally, & backups are useful to have.
    >>Unfortunately I don't have any more the Snow Leopard installer disk...Any other suggestion?
    follow R C -R's suggestion to get the install DVD's - and meantime, do take WZZZ's advice to reinstall the combo, it should provide a working copy of App Store, although you ought to run Software Update afterwards, and install this security update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1670 - even if Software Update doesn't mention it, since that also alters App Store.

  • Username 'disappeared' from System Preferences List

    System is a MAC Mini with 8GB of memory and 250GB SSD with a 4TB Pegasus R4 subsystem.  It is running Mavericks 10.9.4 and Server 3.1.2.  A month or so ago one of its non-admin users disappeared from the System Preferences User list and from the server app's Users list. The user is unable to connect  to the server. When I tried to recreate the user I was told that the shortname is already in use. Changing the name of the folder in /Users doesn't change anything.
    I need to either regain access to the username or delete the username so I can create it again.
    Can anyone help me?

    The following command will output a list of local users. Is the one in question included?
    dscl . -list /Users

  • App disappeared after system upgrade

    After a system upgrade one of my apps disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    Easiest thing is to load your backup
    Beyond that a lot more information is needed and it may be difficult and/or expensive - which is of cousre why you always have a backup and especially before doing any upgrades or updates - if you do not you are 100% guarenteed to lose your photos and other files sooner or later

  • Diagnostics: Agent disappearing from system landscape

    Hello,
    I want to monitor my Enterprise Portal (EP7) and use Root Cause Analysis for it.
    I installed the SMD Agent on EP7, diagnostics is running on SolMan (SM7).
    Now the strange part:
    Whenever I start the Agent on EP7, I can see it for a short time in diagnostics (e.g. in the landscape management or in the managed system setup wizard).
    But shortly after (between 30 - 60 sec.), the agent disappears from diagnostics. Although it is running all the time, it does not show up anymore.
    Diagnostics says, the agent is not connected resp. does not found an agent. But it's up and running (and was visible just seconds before) on EP7.
    Anybody any idea, why this behaviour occurs?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Jan

    Hi,
    We have used same SIDs (the default DAA) for a few hosts in our landscape and this did not cause a problem.
    But in my opinion best to use DAA, DAB, DAC etc in order to remove any room for confusion for both the humans and the systems

  • Recently purchased app disappeared from v2.2 iPod, became v3.0 app

    Hello,
    I bought an application in the iTunes store a few months ago. Last week or so the application disappeared from the iPod touch (running OS 2.2.1). The app is in iTunes but does not synch, but no error.
    Today I tried to install via iTunes App on the iPod itself, and I get a "OS version 3 is required for this application". The developer tells me that this is due to Apple's management of applications on the iTunes app store and tells me I should take it up with Apple (how?).
    I didn't and still don't want to upgrade my OS to v3 and now the application that I paid for is gone. I feel, to be honest, ripped off, despite the relatively small amount of money. I am surprised that apps are not backwards compatible and I see other apps being updated all the time.
    I don't mind living with less features in the app when the OS progresses, but getting one's purchase made void by means of an OS change seems like burning my money. Don't think I will feel like paying for an application again in the near future.
    Anyone with a similar experience? What can be done?

    Google released a version of Maps and incorporated their Navigation app into the main Maps application.
