Help...deleted utilities folder!

My wireless mouse is acting up and I managed to delete my entire utilities folder! I checked the utilities folder on the OSX disk but it doesn't seem to have nearly as many utilities I had before like Audio/midi setup, Activity monitor and a bunch more...where can I get these back?

Click here and follow the instructions. You can get Pacifist here.

  • Accidentally deleted Utilites Folder

    Hi,
    I have accidentally deleted my Utilities folder in 'Applications' thinking it was a folder for Adobe CC which I wanted uninstalled.  Trash Can has been emptied, also, and to pay for my sins I never had Time Machine turned on, never thought I'd need it.  Oops.
    I have a late 2012 (i think) iMac 27". It does not have a disk drive so no good using Disc to reinstall anything. Is there anything I can do?  To be honest I didn't even realise anything was wrong until I tried clicking on 'About This Mac' and got nothing.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Restore it from your Time Machine backup or boot into the Recovery Partition (Command + R) on startup and reinstall OS X. This re-install will not overwrite your data files, however you should ALWAYS have a backup in place before doing so.

  • Deleted Utilities folder

    I have accidentally deleted my utilities folder (Really I dont even understand how this happened). How do I recover it? If recovery isn't an option can I copy a friends or is a complete reformat the only answer? Thank you so much!

    Restoring Lost OS X Files
    If you erase or otherwise "lose" an OS X system application or utility (such as Mail or Disk Utility, for example) or folder such as the Utilities folder, you can restore them without having to reinstall OS X.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Read the documentation. Use Pacifist to extract a fresh copy of the missing application from the file archives on your OS X Installer disc. The file archives are usually found on the installer disc in the /System/Installations/ folder.
    After restoring the application you need to reinstall the OS X Combo Updater for the version of OS X you currently have installed. This assures the new copy of the application is updated to the current version.
    Lastly, it's a good idea to repair permissions.

  • 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

  • Accidentally deleted /var folder, now recovery utilities not responding to trackpad/keyboard!

    So I did something completed stupid, and now have a big problem.
    I accidentally deleted /var folder and emptied the trash!!
    Now my MBP is stuck at the grey start up screen with the apple & spinng wheel and won't start up..
    The weird thing is, now when I enter recovery utilities, everything displays fine except I cannot click anything! The mouse pointer moves but won't respond to clicks! Same with the return on keyboard. Arrow keys work to move among 4 options on os x utilities (time machine/ reinstall/ online help/ disk utility) but when I hit enter, no response! The trackpad & return key works fine up until the point where the mbp asks which language to run the recovery utilities.
    All my data is backed up online, and now I just want to reinstall os x and start using my mbp again!
    I tried reinstall with an installation disc by holding down 'c' on start, then I hear the installation dvd spinning for 3 seconds, then it would start ticking and won't do anything else for a few minutes until I force shutdown.
    Please!!! Can anyone help me?? How can I reinstall os x??  I would really appreciate!!
    Thank you Thank you Thank you in advance.
    -Michelle

    I know it's late but maybe it will help other people.
    I ran into the same issue and none of the solutions listed by apple helped.
    I booted into single-user mode and I read the log in /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/private/var/log/system.log, it was full of errors like theses
    Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air locationd[352]: libcoreservices: _dirhelper: 454: mkdir: path=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d/C/ modes[2]=0700: No such file or directory
    Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air.local locationd[352]: could not create persistent store directory (Input/output error)
    Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air locationd[352]: libcoreservices: _dirhelper: 454: mkdir: path=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d/C/ modes[2]=0700: No such file or directory
    The system actually tried to create directories in /var/folders but the directory /var/folders did not exists, so I created it:
    Under single-user mode:
    mount -o update /
    cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/
    mkdir var/folders
    mkdir var/folders/zz
    reboot
    And it booted just fine !

  • Help!  I deleted a folder, and now my iPod doesn't work!

    Being the new owner of an iPod, I was unaware that I was required to use iTunes to manage data. Instead, I browsed the iPod's files using Windows Explorer and manually deleted a folder of pictures. Now my iPod no longer works; it displays a link to the Apple support site. My computer no longer recognizes the iPod (once it is connected, it displays the removable drive in My Computer, but doesn't show up in iTunes. iPod Updater freezes when the iPod is connected.), so I cannot restore it. Please help!
    PC Windows XP Pro

    had the same problem aswell mate, dont worry its not too complicated
    1st step is to get ur ipod into disk mode and open my computer. once here right click on removable disk and select format. if this works that means ur computer is atleast responding to your ipod and the problem should be over and done with.
    if that doesnt work goto step 2
    step 2 is, when you turn your ipod on does it make any sounds??? if it makes some beeps and little sounds you have a problem with your hard disk in the ipod. not to worry if your ipods new its under warranty and you can send it back.
    step3 is to call apple on 1-800-275-2273 between 9 am and 9pm. follow the prompts and talk to a consultant.
    the same thing happened to me, so everything above is what i was told from an ipod consultant. good luck and dont stress.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Reinstalling from the original Snow Leopard disk probably got you a version of OS X earlier than 10.6.8.
    Running Software Update multiple times MIGHT eventually fix the problem.
    A Combo Update is supposed to be a complete set of all OS X files that were updated in any release of that version of OS X.
    So, the Combo update is a shorter path to get the updates all at once, in one download of OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    The full combo download is about 1 Gigabyte, so it will take a while.
    You'll still need to download Safari v5.1.7 from this non-Apple link to get to the latest release, selecting Get Older Version for OS X 10.6.8.

  • Need help writing a script to delete a folder to run at startup

    I have no experience with this and need full assistance to set this up.
    I am hoping to write a script which can be run at startup on a single client machine which is giving me font trouble. Our client machines are network controlled by our server and have multiple users all in the Server user database.
    The fonts are behaving badly until we trash this folder HD>Library>Caches>com.apple.ATS
    On restart the fonts behave as expected.
    Can someone help me write a script or give me a command I can insert in a crontab with Cronnix to delete this folder at startup?
    Thanks

    They both work fine (read that as: it can be added into either place) While that message in crontab seems to intimate that Apple will do something drastic like disable or make it hard to run cron I cannot see how, cron has been in all *nix's since the beginning so to remove it would anger quite a few people...
    Having said that, If you want to make a launchd item you would put the below into /Library/LaunchDaemons/ create a file (call it someting memorable like 'Delete_com.apple.ATS') put this into it:
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>Delete com.apple.ATS</string>

    <array>
    <string>rm</string>
    <string>-rf</string>

    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    and finally load it...

  • I accidentally deleted the "Utilities Folder"

    I deleted the Utilities Folder by mistake. Does anyone have any advice on how i can retrieve this folder back ?

    Welcome to Discussions - I'm not sure if you can extract it from the install package, I think the simplest thing to do would be to perform an Archive and Install. Read this instructions carefully, and remember to check "preserve user settings and preferences"., Your Utilities should be back and in order.

  • My utilities folder has been deleted.

    Well don't ask me how but my utilities folder has been deleted. I don't have disk utility or any of that anymore. How can i fix this?

    Download the shareware utility Pacifist 2.0 from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the entire Utilities folder from the file archive on your Intel Tiger Installer DVD. The archives may not be "visible" so you will need a utility such as TinkerTool to turn on the Finder's option to display invisible files and folders.
    If you haven't emptied the Trash, then it's possible the folder may still be in the Trash. Open the Trash and check. If it's there just drag it out to its proper location in the Applications folder.

  • Help please? Outlook 2011 stuck on 'updating message list' after deleting 1000's of emails from my 'deleted items' folder

    Hello.
    I've been searching online for an answer and can't find one - hopefully someone can help...
    I recently updated to Yosemite and decided on a general clear-out, so went through 1000's of documents, photos, emails, etc. I ended up deleting the all of the emails in my 'deleted items' folder. Since then, when I go into Outlook and hit the 'send/receive' tab it logs on as normal, but then gets stuck on 'updating message list' - it shows me that there are emails and how many, but will not download them.
    Does anyone have any experience of this?
    Many thanks!

    As Outlook, part of MS Office, is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

  • Help deleting Windows.old folder.

    Hello.
    I recently installed Windows Vista on my MacBook, however I still have a folder called Windows.old on my drive that I need to delete.
    When I right click on the windows.old folder it says I need admin privelages (which I am logged in as) and willnot delete the folder.
    Any help with this would be appreciated.
    Thank You

    Hi Kenneth,
    I experienced a similar issue a few years ago with a PC laptop and WindowsXP. Basically what it came down to was that something got goofed up when I re-installed Windows, causing the duplicate folder which I was unable to delete. The only way around it was to re-install Windows again. This may or may not be the solution for you. It's hard to say because you have a beta copy of Vista and it could be something else entirely. Good luck.
