Did an update to my imac and now I have missing apps

Can someone please guide me through this, I did an update to my imac because I heard it's good to always update. So I did it and just left it cause I knew it would take awhile cause it was my first time updating it. When I came back to it, I turned it back on and my iphoto wouldn't open..it had a question mark symbol over it and it did the same with my photobooth. It won't open and just a question mark symbol over it. So I check out my Apps folder and they are GONE and I checked out other file folders like utilities and some app is missing from there too. I just want my comp back to the way it was, it was working fine...like a charm but now these apps are gone.

Do you know which update? First thing to do right now is to open up Disk Utility in Applications> Utilities in your Hard Drive Folder. Select the drive, which is the topmost listing and click on the Verify Disk button. If you get a good report there, no errors, then go on to Repair Permissions. This will take up to an hour in Leopard so give it time. If Disk Utility finds errors, post back for more directions.

They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.

It would help if you would answer questions and give information rather then constantlhy complaining
You do not need to purchase anything - but to help you you do have to supply the requested information
Have you installed iPhoto from the DVD that came with the computer or from the App Store?
The answer to this is critical to helping you -- please answer
WE probably also need to know exactly how you "restored" your Mac and why youneeded to restore it

I did an update on my Iphone and now the screen says connect to iTunes. I cannot get past this screen. Has anyone had this issue?

What version of iTunes is on your computer? What version of OS X are you running? What type of Mac (and how old) do you have?

Updated to 5.0 and now I have my daughter's phone contacts on my phone

updated to 5.0 and now I have my daughter's phone contacts on my phone
Our phone contacts merged. Different iphones but now we have the same phone contacts.
Why and how do we get back to our own phone contacts?

Apparently phone is synced over icloud.
So, since we both share the same account and both sync over icloud, I guess our contacts were synced.
I guess we are the only two people in the world who have two iphones on one account.
I did not see a way to separate contacts.
Thanks for trying.
I guess we have to get separate itunes accounts and delete contacts manually.
While I'm here, glad to learn that all my apps are deleted on sync unless I check the box to NOT DELETE APPS ON SYNC.
Since the box is unchecked, I guess most people prefer to NOT sync their apps so by default people loose all their apps upon sync.

Installed OSX 10.6.8 on iMac and now I have two icons in my dock for time machine and can't access either one. I don't think it is backing up to time capsule either. Anyone else have this issue?

I installed OSX 10.6.8 on iMac and now I have two icons for time machine in my dock. When I try to access either one the wheel goes round and round. I seem to have lost all back ups that were on Time Capsule. Not sure how to check or what to do. Thanks.

See what happens if you select the TM icon in your menubar, and select Enter Time Machine there.
If that doesn't help, try the things in #E4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting

You can either re-download them directly on the iPad from the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or re-download them on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page and then sync them to the iPad : re-downloading.
