Finder-Not holding view settings in the Application Folder

Hi all
I wonder if any of you can help me.
I cannot get finder to hold my view settings in the Applications folder. I have tried all the view options and whenever I relaunch Finder or reboot the machine, it loses the view settings and goes back to 'arrange' and 'sort' by 'none' I have tried creating another user account and it does the same thing so it is
not user specific. I have tried deleting the .ds.store file in the Applications folder and this does not work. As a matter of interest, this has been an ongoing problem that I have noticed when setting up new Macbook Pros over the last two years or so.
All other folders hold their settings. Its just the Applications folder.
Any ideas folks?

I've had this issue in many folders. Very frustrating!

Copying application to the application folder

Cant drag downloades software (not from app store) into the application folder. Skype for example...
I get the small Plus sign like it wants to copy the file, but nothing happens. I can make it copy, it just gets stuck to my cursor...

Try to copy the file then paste it to the folder. Select the file then go to your edit menu click on copy, open your app folder then click edit paste.

I just opened my mail, and I don't find absolutely nothing, no message. The application is empty! how I can retrieve the information?!! do not know what happened

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
* Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
* Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
* General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

HT4623 In syncing my Iphone 5 for the first time, Facetime disappeared. Although it shows up under apps in the settings menu, the application itself does not seem to be there. What happened? How can I fix this?

There has never been a facetime app on the iphone.
As the manual says, you access from contacts. Pick a contact and scroll down to the facetime button

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Finder is unstable and i can't open the applications folder

Hello,
I have a brand new 15" rMBP & I was just editing a file with Hex Fiend, when it suddely froze. After restart, finder is acting weird. I cannot reach the applications folder. Finder crashes and restarts every time.
Also, spotlight is not working. When i hit command space, it opens for a millisec, and then spotlight closes and the icons in the upper right corner disappears (except adobe CC and dropbox). They come back after a few seconds.
Every ten seconds, the battery indicator disappears and comes back the next second. If you are scanning for new networks when the icon disappears, the scan resets
What can i do to fix this? Please help!
I need my computer to be functional in order to work!
I've tried safe boot, but the problem is still there. Spotlight works though
Also tried to reset SMC, didn't work
Tried reset SRAM, didn't work

Download the 10.9 installer (don't open it).
Either use Lion disk maker http://liondiskmaker.com
Or use Disk Utility to create a USB 10.9 installer (my prefered method).
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/08/make-a-bootable-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-installer-from -a-usb-flash-drive/
Once completed, insert into the MBP, boot holding alt then select the USB disk to boot from.
If it fails to boot try another USB port or try another stick - some USB disks just don't boot for some reason.
You can open Disk Utility one the system has got to the installer screen. Select the internal disk (the top level item in the left list). Erase the boot HD by creating a new single partition (Mac OS Extended + Journal). Select 'GUID Partition Table' in the Options. Apply that & all your data will be gone.
Quit back to the install screen & install. The installer should also add a recovery partition to the disk.
Eventually it will reboot to the clean OS. Take care with whatever apps you install, just get the newest versions

I was asked to update my Foxfire which I did but at one point it said I would be prompted to move the Foxfire icon into the applications folder and I was never prompted to do so, therefore I do not know what to do next.

The new Foxfire version was downloaded into my download folder but I was never prompted, as it said I would be , so move the Foxfire icon into the applications folder. Therefore I do not know where the process stands. It old icon in my dock upgraded or has nothing happeded. It seems as if the process somehow just stopped in the middle.

Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

In the Application folder the Kind view, can it be be rearranged?

in the Application folder, selecting Kind view, can it be be rearranged?

Not if you open the Applications folder by clicking on the icon in the Taskbar.. But you can also open the Applications folder in Finder, where the type of viewing Can be changed, somewhat.

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

Internal isight does not work in any of the applications

I rarely use my built in camera, however I recently noticed that my built in camera iSight (macbook) is not functioning with any of the applications (ichat, photobooth, skype). Dont know how to trouble shoot. Any advise please?

... Is it wrong installation ..., which could result in this way?
(1) No. What you see is normal for Mac OS X.
Neither "USB" nor "iSight or Camera folder" should be in your "Utilities folder in Apps folder."
(2) Your Utilities folder does contain a " System Profiler " iCon. Double click it.
Your System Profiler utility will open.
Click "USB" in the column of items under "Hardware" in the "Contents" column at the left side of the System Profiler window.
"USB Device Tree" pane will open immediately to the right of the "Contents" column.
Click on each of the USB items in the "USB Device Tree" as necessary until you find your "Built-in iSight."
If your iSight does not show under any of the USB items, your built-in iSight is not recognized by your Mac, and your Mac needs service.
I sometimes write too much. If you have difficulty understanding my wordy instructions,
see the image below. Yours System Profiler window may look somewhat different,
but the idea is shown in this image from one of my Macs:

All Software program in the application folder does not launch

I have a macBook Pro mid 2012. When I click on any software program in the applications folder on the sidebar, it does not launch. What do I need to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
