Downloaded applications disappear after restarting?
Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this is the best community to post this question. But here goes.
I have several applications I bought online which seem to continually disappear on restart. At first I thought I imagined it, or I did something wrong. But now I can see it happens continually when I do a full shut down, at least on several applications.
Specifically, I notice it happens with my VPN client and with Skype. A full search of my computer will only find the downloaded .dmg files for both applications. (It could be happening with more apps, but these are the ones I use frequently, so these are the ones I notice.)
I just reinstall, but it isn't very convenient.
Any idea why this would be happening and how to prevent it?
Puzzled...
Cheryl
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do you run the apps from the DMG file or you copy the apps to the Applications folder? You must copy them to Applications. If not, you will lose them because you are running them from their DMG

Local copy idisk folders added to sidebar disappear after restart
Folders from a local idisk copy added to the finder sidebar continually disappear after restart. Any idea how to prevent this?
a workaround:
you can lock this file via command + i
Library > Preferences > com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
to keep your sidebar setting,
then reboot
or
open Terminal and write:
defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 1 < this will add a Quit command to the Finder
then:
killall Finder
Quit the Finder via Command + Q every time you mount iDisk...
it works for me, use at your own risk -

All downloaded applications disappeared during Sync
I sync my iPhone to iTunes every day. I have had the phone for a little over a month now with no problems. Today I plugged it in, synced as usual, but when the sync was done, ALL of my downloaded applications are gone, both from my phone and from the Application tab of iTunes.
The Application link under Library in iTunes still shows all of the applications, but when I plug my iPhone in, the Applications tab there is blank.
The apps do still exist in My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
I have deauthorized my computer, and reauthorized it. I have shut down iTunes and restarted. I turned my phone off and back on. What else can I try to get my applications back?OK, I did an 'Add Folder to Library' and selected the Mobile Applications folder. The applications now show up again in the Device list, I clicked Sync, and the got copied back to my iPhone. Whew.
But now I have TWO of everything in the Applications section of the Library. There is only one physical copy in the Mobile Applications folder. I shut down iTunes again and restarted. The duplicates are still there. I tried Consolidating the library. Nope. Preferences hide the Applications folder, then unhide it. Nope, still there.
I am now going through the applications one by one, double-clicking on them, and doing a right-click Delete of the ones where the associated file can't be found. iTunes definitely lost track of the applications when I moved My Documents. -
Changes in Bundle.js file are disappear after restarting the UCM
Good Day,
I add some javascript code in bundle.js file within the following path: domain_home\ucm\cs\weblayout\resources\bundle.js .
the changes are reflected fine on the UCM, but once the UCM Server restated the changes are gone and the file revert back as is; without my changes.
the code that i want to add is:
if ((typeof Range !== 'undefined') && !Range.prototype.createContextualFragment) {
Range.prototype.createContextualFragment = function(html) {
var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
var div = document.createElement('div');
frag.appendChild(div);
div.outerHTML = html;
return frag;
i want to add it because i have a javascript error like this: Object doesn't support property or method 'createContextualFragment', this erro occured when the used version of Internet Explorer is V.9. ; no javascript errors appears on Version 8. when i add this piece of javascript to the bundle.js file, it the error is gone and everything goes fine, but as i said earlier after restarting the UCM the added javascript code is gone and disappear from the bundle.js file.
For that reason i want to ask, is there is a way to keep my code and stay as is even after restarting? Or is the file uploaded on restart from another path?
Any Suggestions?This is actually quite simple to explain:
- domain_home\ucm\cs\weblayout\resources is a directory that holds runtime version of resources
- if you want to make your changes persistent, you will need to do it in a source directory. In 11g there are two source directories; one for standard components, and the other for custom ones. You should use the latter
- in fact, if you create a custom component with Component Wizard, make your changes there and activate the component, you should be done. The only another thing you should pay attention to is the loadOrder parameter of your resource - it should be higher to get applied.

Custom desktop picture disappears after restart
Ever since I purchased my MacBook Pro my custom desktop picture disappears after a restart. I select a photo either from the internet or my iphoto library and when I reboot the computer it goes back to the original desktop pattern, my photo is gone. Has anybody noticed the same problem on theirs and if so, have you found a solution? Its not a big deal, mostly goes under 'curious why this happens and how can I fix it' category . . .
Try running the combo update.
10.9.4 Combo Update
If that doesn't work, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update. -
CC 2014 on Yosemite shows applications launched after restart (but they are not)
Wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Running Yosemite GM on a late 2009 27" iMac.
All of the apps (except Bridge...which has been extensively discussed) appear to work fine. I routinely use Illustrator, PShop, After Effects, and Audition....no issues...
When I restart my machine, however, and OS X goes to restore all of the apps that were open before restarting...that's when things get strange. In my dock, there are dots below the apps that were open, indicating that they've relaunched....although if I click on one of the icons in the dock to move over to that app, the app launches....it wasn't actually open although it shows as open and running in the dock. Furthermore, if you right click on one of the "running" icons after restart it shows the app as non-responsive and asks if you want to force quit.
It really hasn't made any material difference in my work...like I said, all of the apps work (except Bridge when it comes to previewing AE presets) and it's just mildly frustrating....
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks
sparkJeff,
I have two machines, a late 2009 27" iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2 with 12g of ram, and an early 2009 17" MacBook Pr with 8g of RAM, same OS.
Creative Cloud runs perfectly on the MacBook Pro, all the apps hang on the iMac. I have disabled every extension, I have deleted CC and reinstalled, I have deleted all the apps and ran the cleaner and reinstalled everything, they still hang. I use dropbox and have unchecked the finder config, both machines. I use FontAgent Pro on both machines. Both machines have Skyfonts. I have no problem with any other app on the iMac or the MacBook Pro. No wifi issues. We just moved here 10 days ago, the problem started then. If it was unseated RAM, other applications would be affected, and they are not. Can you help?

Downloaded files disappear after download finishes
I downloaded a file from several locations. Mozzila backup, evernote and other downloads
The download finishes, but the file disapears afterwards from my system and can't be found back.
The download should be on the location as requested.I have this problem too, I have selected the downloads folder, when the download is finished it disappears, I have done a search of the files, and they simply are no longer on my computer. How do I fix this. I looked at the above articles and all that was suggested was to change the strings, but didn't say what to change the strings too. I have already deleted firefox and then redownloaded it and reinstalled it. How do you fix this?
I have reset everything to default, I have eliminated cleared the database, cleaned the registry, reinstalled and the files still disappear after they are downloaded
I have done the steps here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
and this one and still nothing: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files -
Downloaded Applications Disappear on iPod
Hi, I recently bought an iPod touch and a Mac. Apparently either I don't completely understand how it works or there is a problem with my device. Every time I connect my iPod to my iTunes and sync everything (i have enabled syncing everything from music to applications). The applications disappear from the iPod although I can still see them in the "Applications" pane of my iTunes.
Afterwards I go back to the AppStore and re-install the application. When I do it I get a message "You have already purchased this item to download it again press ok".
The part which is annoying is that I don't want to re-download every-time the applications.
Anyone has any idea why this happens and how to prevent it? On a similar note how can I install an application directly from iTunes to iPod touch, of course if it is possible? Any help would be appreciated.Make sure you have your applications set to sync as well in iTunes. Click on your device and then click on the tab marked Applications. Set iTunes to sync your apps - or it will remove them the next time you sync.

Edited by: BumbaMumba on Mar 25, 2010 10:19 AMHi,
That doesn't work.
My mistake, maybe I inserted my question under wrong forum.
After restart I see that FLAGS is switched from 3 (just after creation and before restart) to 2 (etherstub0, vnic0, vnic1, vnic2).
What that flag means? Is it switchable to 3 again and thats do things what I am expecting?
pfexec dladm show-linkmap
NAME LINKID CLASS MEDIA FLAGS
rtls0 1 phys Ethernet 3
wpi0 2 phys WiFi 3
vboxnet0 3 phys Ethernet 2
etherstub0 4 etherstub Ethernet 2

vnic1 6 vnic Ethernet 2
vnic2 7 vnic Ethernet 2

BT stack disappears after restart.
In a Portege M200 I downloaded the toshiba BT stack last version (3.10). Everything is ok during installation. BT devices are working properly (at least the headset). When I Power on again the pc, all BT stack files disappear(seems correctly unistalled but I do not know why).
For your information after the restart the "C:/program files/Toshiba/Bluetooth Toshiba Stack" folder does not exists anymore.
Any help is wellcome.
DarioHi, I had the same problem - I had installed bluetooth stack, it requires restart of my machine and...stack was not there (not in Start Menu, Not in Programs).
I tried several times, I could even run Bluetooth Stack before restart (but there was no possibility to use it), but always after retart program just disapear.
Finally I have decided to reinstal Windows (please note, t previously I had also quite fresh WindowsXP instalation).
Now it works, except that I can not connect to HID (mouse, keybord, remote control from phone) and cannot establish connection to headset - I have never used it before, therefore I do not know whether this is possible with my Satelite 5100-501? -
My Muse Application disappeared after installing update, how do I get it back?
I did some updates via Adobe Application Manager while installing a XI pro and when it was complete, I went to open Muse and it was gone... how do I get it back? When I go to download it again it takes me to the Adobe Application Manager where it lists 17 apps, Muse is one of them that says "installed" but it is not anywhere on my computer. I'm on a iMac with 10.8.2. Thanks, Stacey
@Stacy,
I had a similar issue that I think was caused because I still had the Beta of Muse "installed" on my iMac running 10.8.2 and not the current live version of Muse.
I used the Adobe Application manager to install Muse and other apps after I joined Creative Cloud in September. It completed and said I had Muse installed, but in reality I believe it was still only the Beta. I realized all of this this Sunday Oct 30, 2012. I scoured the machine to make sure only the Beta was on my machine and that was correct. Until I deleted the Beta and restarted I could not get the "installed" status to be corrected. However, once it was corrected I could not get the Adobe Application "installer" for Muse to become active. Going to Adobe.com to get the Muse installer yielded a result where I could not get the official installer to work while I was logged in. Logging out, I was able to download a trial installer but it took 3 tries before it installed, citing a broken installer. Since that point however, Muse has worked just fine and it synced up with my Creative Cloud account. -
Do downloaded movies disappear after one use?
I am so confused. I downloaded two movies to my 3rd Gen Ipod Nano, and each time after I watch the movie, they disappear from my selection screen. When I scroll to Movies it says "No Movies". They still show up on my computer though.
Do I have to go back and download them each time? When I connect the IPOD to the port to charge up, it automatically syncs. But no movies, and
This is my first MP3 player, and yes I REALLY am technically challenged. I bought the IPOD book by Scott Kelby, and while its very informative, it does not address this problem.
If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated. Thank you all!From the Terms of Sale:
You have thirty (30) days after downloading a movie to begin viewing. Once you begin viewing, you have twenty-four (24) hours to view the movie (the “Viewing Period”). You may view the movie an unlimited number of times during the Viewing Period. Movies are not viewable after the thirty (30) day period. Stopping, pausing or restarting a movie does not extend the available time for viewing. -
Input source disappears after restart or log out. How to fix it?
I use two input sources: U.S. and Russian-PC. But recently the Russian-PC started to disappear everytime I restart the iMac or just log out and log in back. Instead of Russian-PC there is Russian which is inconvinient to use. So I always have to open language and text preferences unchek Russian, check Russian-PC.
I have tried to change language preferences on root user but it did not help.
Does somebody know how to fix it?Well Bababooey if you're comparing yourself to a Apple Genius Bar then you should already know my answer, your snarky remark get a snarky reply. Why would I go to a salesperson to fix my computer problem when I can go directly go to the source itself. I used to sell Apple computers over 8 years ago and was apple certified before the Genius bar existed. If I am to go about fixing an issue I can't fix on my own I will go to the source itself meaning Apple's programmers and developers - being UI UX Developer myself I know they should have QA'd all platforms and troubleshooted any arising issues.
This was also the first time in the 20 years I've been using a Mac that I even attempted to go on this forum which i thought would put me in connection with a certified Apple representative. This turned out to be a complete waste of time just being a public forum with no Apple employee involved. I was hoping to find a quick fix but in turn I was only frustrated with stupid responses such as yours that were in no way an answer to my original question.
BTW I fixed the issue on my own and without your help or Apples help. I'm glad if all forums point here regarding this issue because I now have the answer. The answer I was looking for from someone earlier was as simple as this {Download Maverick and reinstall the platform - it will take an hour to do but afterward 10.9.2 was installed and my computer is now able to shutdown and restart without having to do a hard boot.} No more software update bar at top and no problems with my drive which I told both you and Grant - I know my computer better than you and I've probably been using them longer than you.
So again Babowa you were so wrong...... and I am right.
Again anyone having the same problem, I suggest reinstalling Maverick and you'll be suprised 10.9.2 will work fine.
