Apps in Finder?

Unless I am loosing my mind, I seem to remember that application icons in Finder with Tiger did not display the icon with the .app extension. On my MacBook Pro in icon view any program now has the .app extension, is there a setting that controls this? All programs are working just fine just wondering about this 'cosmetic' issue.

No problem - right click on any application (in the Applications folder) choose "Get Info" from the context menu, click on padlock to make changes and then tick "Hide extension" and you're done.

I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want and then click on "Open" to use it. Help!

I downloaded IOS6 and all of my app icons, including the App Store icon disappeared. Now to use an icon, I have to go to Passport and click on the App Store button at the bottom and search through all of the apps to find the one I want and then click on Open. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the app and start over.

Hey PlayerPS,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

Contacts app not finding names in Exchange 2010

Contacts app not finding names in Exchange 2010 server
This is weird, could be a bug in 10.8.2, not sure, want to see if anyone else is seeing this.
Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Exchnage account created for: Mail, Contacts, Calendars. All looks good there.
Cannot lookup names / email addresses in Contacts Global Address List (GAL) or in Mail app.
Can delete the Exchnage account in Contacts and re-add it, and it will work.
Once Contacts quits and is re-luanched, no dice. No connection, just spins and spins.
Eventually Contacts app crashes, (not responding).
Outlook 2011 works just fine, seems an issue with Contacts.
Thanks,
John K

I thinkk this is a bug in Contacts app, 7.1 (1167), in MT Lion.
If one inputs the actual AD domain controllers dns name, for the Internal Server, Contacts app does the lookup successfully and pretty quick.
This is how it is on Outlook 2011 BTW. Directoy Service in OL 2011 is the AD domain controller FQDN, not the Exchnage server.
thanks,
jk

I have an iPhone 4s. Today I went on to my calendar app to find everything deleted from it. Then I went to make a phone call and every single one of my contacts has gone from my phone. Can I get them back and how?

Whoa whoa no need to go restoring stuff yet, once you've done that check to verify you have done what Overlook2011 IF that doesn't work for calendars ensure your default account for calendars is set to iCloud and in calendars that it is told to "Show all calendars"

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

Had you downloaded the Find My iPhone app from the App Store previously?
You do not need the Find My iPhone app on your iPhone for you to be able to locate your iPhone if it is lost or stolen. The Find My iPhone app, should you choose to get it, would enable you to find some other Apple device that had been properly set up from your iPhone.

Hi, I am trying to launch illustrator after downloading it onto a Mac. I go to apps in finder and click on Adobe Illustrator but there are no files - such as configuration etc. What should I do?

Thanks for responding, I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer which is sitting under Devices in my Finder and then installed the Ai app which is appearing under Applications in the finder. I notice that in the launch tutorial there is the Adobe Creative Cloud sitting in the Apps folder above Ai - I don't have this. Hmm what to do?

If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

Downloading Lion from the Mac App Store didn't put the Lion OS on your computer. It put an application package called Install Mac OS X Lion on your computer; specifically, in your Applications folder.
If you install from the Install Mac OS X Lion application package inside your Applications folder, the application package (the installer) will be deleted once the installation is complete. You must copy the installer to another location or to another drive/media before you run it to upgrade to Lion - if you didn't do that, then you have to download it again.
If you did copy the installer, then you can just copy it over to any other Mac you own which meets Lion's minimum system requirements and run it again to upgrade those other Macs to Lion.

Can anyone recommend a duplicate file finder application for OS10.6 systems? All the apps I find on the App Store are only for 10.7 and later. I don't know how to filter a search by operating system (if this is even possible).

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

How to Loop through App and finding popup Windows

Does anyone know how to loop through the app and find any
popup windows..

I guess application by default creates a SystemManager
object... So i used
this.systemManager.popUpChildren.numChildren and it gives me
0 all the time.. even though I have instances of windows to the
app.. According to the documentation this should give you the
number of popup children but it doesn't.. Any more ideas?

My ipod is lost and out of charge . whats the best app to find it or locate were itwas last used

my ipod is lost and out of charge. whats the best app to find it or locate were it was last used ect

There is no such app. There are apps available that will periodically email the location but those have to be installed before it is lost.However, typically those do not works with iPods since iPod have to be connected to the internet via wifi to send the email.

Zapya.apk is an android app and will not work on an iOS device.
How did you transfer your songs from your Android phone to your iPad?

If the iPhone had your iCloud account set up on it, and in the settings for that account you had enabled "find my iPhone" then you can log in to your iCloud account in a computer's web browser (www.iCloud.com) and try to track it from your account.
If you did not enable find my iphone, then no, you cannot remotely track it.

Applications showing .app in Finder

How do I get my applications to stop showing .app after their name? For example, Safari shows up as Safari.app in Finder and in my Applications folder as with all of my other applications.

In the Finder, choose Finder -> Preferences, click Advanced and uncheck the box labeled "Show all filename extensions".
