Contents of utilities folder ?

i have a simple question:
for software update to function properly, it is important that all of Apples applications be located in their original places within the applications & utilities folder.
the problem is that a while ago i moved the contents of my utilities folder into my applications folder, and now cannot remember what goes where.
could someone please post a list of the items that are located in the utilities folder in a default installation of os 10.3.9 ?
thank you.

I think I added the Airport utilities as a seperate download. In any case, if you have any Apple utilities (and Java), they belong in the Utilities folder.

  • HELP! No utilities folder on my mac

    Hi. I can´t understand how the utilities folder in my G5 PCC is probably deleted.... I´m triying to reinstall but since there is not installer or disc utilities the computer says always "restart to begin the installation". What can I do ?

    Hi. Here again. It's . Pacifist is very useful; the utulities are there again but...in english; no problem. The really problem is that there are not help contents about each one of them and Bluetooth assistant is not working at all. Maybe can I do something to repare those little things?...Anyway thanks a lot for your support

  • Many apps are missing in the Utilities folder.

    Hi there!
    The MacBook Pro I'm using is Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5. The weird thing is: when I bought it, I tranferred my files from a previous Macbook to this current one using Migration Assistant. But now I couldn't find Migration Assistant in this Pro, and there are many applicatioins missing in the Utilities folder (now there is only one folder named 'contents' contained in Utilities).
    Could anyone tell me if it is normal or how can I fix it?
    Many thanks!!

    1)  In your first post you said you have an MBP with Mac OS X 10.7.5, that goes by the name of Lion.  Apple uses big cat names for its OS X versions.  Mountain Lion is Mac OS X 10.8.  Your MBP has Lion since you said you have 10.7.5.
    2)  If you reinstall Lion, and DO NOT do an erase and install, all applications and data, including photos and libraries, should be preserved.  It is always a good idea to make a backup first just as protection.  I have never had files damaged from installing or reinstalling the Mac OS X, but others have discussed that on here.  However, if all is working well you do not need to resort to a Mac OS X reinstall - this is to clean up problems noted below.
    3)  By mangled files I simply meant a built in file that seems to be damaged or not functioning correctly.  When you said that MA could not be opened due to a problem, that sounded like a damaged file.  Could be another reason, but it is not uncommon for system-level files to get corrupted over time, especially when the computer is not shutdown properly or power outages/surges occur, or for other reasons.  If there seems to be damage to system-level files the only way to clean things up is by reinstalling the operating system.
    Reinstalling is usually very straight forward, but if everything is working fine it isn't necessary.  You might as a first step try doing a restart on the MBP which will stop services that may be having problems, often does some minor house cleaning, etc.  Try that first and see if all works well and see if MA will then start for you.
    And by the way, when you said problems starting MA, there is a sequence for using MA, were you following that when you had the problem, or did you just try and start it from the MBP?

  • Moved Utilities Folder

    I somehow accidentally moved the Utilities folder into my Applications. I am trying to move it back into my home folder, where it's supposed to be, but when I drag it from applications to the home folder it just copies the contents of Utilities and creates a new folder. I want the actual folder that has the screwdriver & wrench image on it to move back to where it's supposed to be but it is being very uncooperative. Any ideas? >_< Thanks.

    no it's not. Utilities folder is supposed to be in the main Applications folder not in your home directory. leave it be.

  • I have no Utilities folder

    Is it possible somebody can put their utilities into a zip file and upload them so i can download them?
    I have OS X 10.6.8 and i think i may have deleted the utilities a long while ago, but now i'd like to run the disk repair utility and i am unable to, so i presume what i'm asking for is a solution.
    If not any advice would be good, i did try to re-install the disk but i just had major issue where my computer would no longer start up.

    No, that's definitely not possible. Doing so is illegal.
    The Utilities folder should be in your Applications folder. You might use Spotlight to search for it in case it was moved.
    If you cannot find it, then reinstalling Snow Leopard is your only recourse other than the following:
    How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD.  However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
    How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive.  Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items.  Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
    Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
    Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
    Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
    Click on the  "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1.          In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b.          or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3.          In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4.          On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5.          Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
              20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6.          Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7.          In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8.          If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9.          In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10.          If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11.          Type in your password, click “OK”
    Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12.          In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes:          Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
    Stop
    Leave original alone
    Update .....
    Default selection
    Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

  • Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents of a folder?

    Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents in a folder? I uploaded all the photos into my Creative Cloud but now I am out of the office and working on another computer so I need all those images so I can create a DVD Slide show for A&M. I need all the images, over 100 of them. Is there a way I can download this entire folder or at least all the images in the folder at one time? All I can find for download is to download each image separately one at a time. I can't even select them all and say download every image selected. I don't want to sit here for hours downloading one image at a time, that's just ridiculous.
    Help Please!

    Ken,
    Just wanted let you know the answer was not helpful but it was correct. Thank you for your time in answering me.

  • Contents in Documents Folder Suddenly Empty

    I'm a single user and I found that today my contents in documents folder suddenly empty. I also noticed that my free space doesn't have any change (the documents folder contents contain of thousands SVG, Ai, EPS, PSD, PNG, JPG, files). Unfortunately I don't have time machine, I just bought this mac for about three months ago. This is so frustrating.
    I tried to:
    -check my trash bin, nothing found
    -search my files over spotlight and finder, nothing found
    -restart my mac, nothing happened
    -verify disk permissions, found one invalid permissions, fixed
    -verify disk, no problems found

    Tried recover through diskdrill (both quick scan and deep scan)
    BUT NOTHING FOUND what's in my documents folder.
    What would cause the contents of my "documents" folder to suddenly disappear?
    Right now I'm scanning my Mac if there's any virus. I'll update soon if I found any.

    There is not malware involved. It's extremely unlikely that you would have any Mac malware, though the scan may well turn up some Windows malware attached to e-mail messages or something similar.
    As to what the problem is, that's hard to say. One possibility is that you have somehow accidentally moved them to a different folder. Since Spotlight does not search everywhere and could be handicapped if something is wrong with the search indices, try searching for one file whose name you know with certainty using EasyFind.
    Unfortunately, whatever may have happened, if those files can no longer be found on your hard drive and cannot be found by data recovery tools, they are gone for good since you don't have any backups.

  • How to read the contents of images folder using AS3

    Hi,
    I'd like to load the images in the folder dynamically without using XML.
    Is there a mechanism in AS3 that enables me to read directly the content of images folder directly without using XML or should I use php to do that?
    Thanks

    Yes you can do that without XML. You need to use the Loader() class to dynamically load the images. Check the documentation of the loader class.

    2-Zap the PRAM
    3-Use Software Update/App Store to update your OS to OS 10.10.3.  Also, update everything SU/AS has to offer for your computer.  When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.
