Apps list not showing in snow leopard dock

I dragged the applications icon/folder from the user to the right of the hash marks on the dock, but all I get when I click on it is a line with Options and Open in Finder,no apps list (though it's set for sort by name, display as folder and vieew as list, just as the documents and download folders are set - which both work fine). How to fix?

If you had done what Captfred thinks, i.e. used the Applications folder in your user home folder instead of the one at the root (primary) level of the hard drive, the difference is -
The Applications folder in the user home folder holds apps segregated for use only by that user's account - it's how apps can be restricted for some user accounts. The privelege settings in a given account set that up.
The apps in the root level Applications folder are available to everyone.
Typically, in a system which has no additional user accounts added to it, the Applications folder in the user home folder will be empty, or nearly so. In a one-user setup there's no need to segregate anything.

  • App list not showing up on desktop app

    Hi!
    I installed the cc desktop app on my second computer, a macbook pro using Yosimite.
    The app installed fine, but when I wanted to start installing my programs the app list never loaded and just gave me a never ending spinning wheel.
    I have re installed the desktop app and checked my internet connection, but nothing changed.

    Went through entire list of suggested fixes. None of them worked.
    Please advise. This is still the only thing that happens, see attached screenshot

  • Open apps do not show as open in dock...

    ... command tab only shows Finder. I can navigate to the other 9 apps that are open with the mouse. Strange. I have repaired permissions, activity monitor shows nothing out of the ordinary.

    HI Hugh,
    Open System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse/Keyboard Shortcuts. Click; Restore Defaults. Quit System Preferences and reboot.
    See if that helps...
    If not, try deleting this file: com.apple.finder.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.

  • Purchased apps list not showing up on iPhone 4S after upgrade to iOS6

    I have a 4S and reloaded from the factory image after having experienced the wi-fi problem.  Now I can't see the list of my previously purchased apps so I can re-download them. I ave tred several times with no success.
    I also lost the capability of seeing all my previously uploaded Photostream pictures, which I can see from my iPad no problem
    Any ideas on either issue? Thanks for your assistance.
    Joe

    I had exactly the same problem, and after exhausting all the other generic tips out there, the following worked for me:
    Plug the phone into power, and restart by holding down the power and home buttons. Leave the phone plugged in to recharge to 100%. It appears to reset the battery calibration and things are back to normal.
    The key symptom was the phone restarting or powering down even though the battery indicator was at 20% or better.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

    Good Morning,
    I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
    I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
    Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
    thank you.

    Have you restarted holding down the Opt key?  That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist.  Then select the SL partition for boot.  Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

  • OS will not boot after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a MacPro (Intel). I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything appeared fine. However, after restarting my computer the OS will not load. A circle with a hash through it replaces the Apple logo and the apple's spinning wheel continues but all drive activity. I have tried to run the install again by forcing the computer to open the dvd drive then booting for the OS DVD but this has not worked. Has anyone experienced this and successfully resolved?

    You have a five year old computer, so a failing hard drive at this point is not so strange. You have a couple of options you can try. Start with this one, but if it does not work you will have to erase the hard drive. I hope you have a backup of all your files.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

  • Macbook pro will not boot after snow leopard upgrade

    My GF has had a macbook pro since mid 2008.  It's been running like a champ since I've known her for the past 3 years with  no issues.  It has/had OSX 10.5.8 installed.  We tried to consolidate all our pictures from all our apple devices and realized she didn't have an icloud on the old 10.5.8 OSX.  So I called apple and they told me to order and install the snow leopard OSX 10.6 first and then upgrade to lion etc after that,  Well we got the disk yesterday popped it in to install and it's been a disaster.... the computer shutdown for what looked like a normal restart during the installation process and never booted back up.  Attempts to manually reboot leave us locked on a grey apple logo screen with spinning gear indefinately whith the Snow Leopard disk installed during boot up.  With the disk removed I get the flashing file folder with a question mark.  I called apple support we tried all the PRAM and SMC resets and then decided that we should go  to the Genius Bar once all those failed.  After an hour and a half drive to the nearest genius bar we were told that the we suddenly had a hardware issue which just happened to coincide with the new OS installation....  I'm not buying it and am looking for some help.  The macbook was running like a champ until we inserted a disk recommended by apple...   Any takers?

  • After upgrading to iOS 8, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities

    After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities. Can Apple look into this or does anyone have a solution to this.

  • The Music Icon App is not showing under use cellular data

    The Music Icon App is not showing under use cellular data.
    When I go to settings, cellular the Music Icon is not listed.  I cannot turn on use cellular data for itunes for my music in itunes match.  How do I get the icon listed there.
    Thank you.

    Hi crcalnan,
    There should be an entry in that section for iTunes, which includes both the iTunes Store and iTunes Match:
    Set when cellular data is used for apps and services. Go to Settings > Cellular, then turn cellular data on or off for any app that can use cellular data. If a setting is off, iPhone will use only Wi-Fi for that service. The iTunes settings include both iTunes Match and automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and the App Store.

  • Is Snow Leopard part of the the gray MacBook Pro disks? I am having trouble burning a cd and was told to reload Snow Leopard? I do not have a Snow Leopard disk?  Help!

    Is Snow Leopard part of the gray MacBook Pro disks that were included with the computer when I purchased it. I DO NOT have a disk with SNOW LEOPARD written on it?

    Maybe you should first tell us what your problem is. You may not need to reinstall Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is what your installer disc has - 10.6. Reinstalling may also require installing a number of updates as well.  Here's the basic reinstall process:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

    According to Roaring Apps, there is a version of Protools compatible with Lion.  But you may need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to buy either Lion or ML on MAS.   It looks like you need to get up-to-date with your OS and the apps too.

  • An app does not show up but is found in search

    after setting up my new phone i have at least one app that's icon is not showing up on any of the pages.  yet when 'searched' for on the phone it is found and can be used.  the app does not show up in my updates list for the app store either, so the phone must know it's installed. what could cause this icon to not be visible and how can i correct this?
    thanks.

    Any error message?
    Is the app stuck on "waiting"?
    What happens when you try to redownload it?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Try downloading on computer and syncing to the iPod.

  • Leopard TM backups are NOT compatible with Snow Leopard

    I just discovered while upgrading to Snow Leopard that Time Machine backups made in Leopard are not compatible with Snow Leopard at this time. So, for those of you who are considering upgrading to Snow Leopard using your TM backups to restore your data, the TM backup will not be recognised by Snow Leopard.
    I called Apple Care to check this when I went to restore my data as I had done an Erase and Install, and they confirmed that I would have to either:
    a) use the data on my TM drive as any other data only backup, or
    b) re-inslall Leopard, restore the TM backup, then upgrade to Snow Leopard rather than erase and install.
    For info

    Incidentally, yes, the "package" file is the in.Progress file. It seems to have the incremental updates, since it's a real big file, and has very recent entries. Again the last set of timestamped folders (i.e. a full backup) was over a year ago.
    No, something's very wrong. All (completed) TM backups are the same.
    Inside the Backups.backupdb folder should be a single folder with your computer name; inside that should be a series of folders with the date & time of each remaining backup, plus the Latest folder which is an alias to the most recent of the date & time folders, except an "in.Progress" folder.
    The "in.Progress" folder is an incomplete (failed or cancelled) backup, and is ignored in all TM displays, since it's unusable.
    In any event I have not deleted or changed any of the files. Also the stuff in the "Latest" folder is over a year old. But I've had TM running the whole time.
    So does that mean (I'm hoping) that my recent stuff will be recovered from the inProgress file if I can ever get this working? Or does it mean I'm screwed anyways, because the best I can get is the files from the Latest or most recent timestamped folder (again, both a year back).
    First, run +*Repair Disk+* again (and again) until it either fixes all the errors or can't fix any more. If it can't fix any more, it's barely possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party app such as +DiskWarrior 4.2+ can (it's about $100).
    Let's see if DU can fix it on a second pass. Hopefully it will, and the problem was preventing the more recent backups from appearing.

  • My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.

    My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
    I have the BIG DOG 16 gig iPhone and I am only limitted to 9 pages of APPS.
    For what I PAID for this GREAT Phone, there should be NO LIMIT as to how many APPS. that I can download until and UNLESS my memory is FULL, which it is NOT even half full yet.
    APPLE: Please change this LIMITATION, because there seems to be thousands of APPS. to choose from. Just as you have NO-LIMIT on the number of songs that I can download, I would like it to be the SAME for my APPS.
    Thank you.
