Help: In Finder, "Applications" in left sidebar doesn't work.

Very weird.
In Finder, "Applications" in sidebar doesn't work now. when I click it, it popups a dialog says "no default applications specified to open document 'Applications'" and no app displayed. And if I right-click it and select "get info", it shows 'Applications' is a package.
What's wrong? It's driving me crazy. No application can be selected now, except in terminal.
Thanks in advance.

I've heard of this sort of thing happening (though I can't imagine how), but the "has bundle" attribute might be set on the folder. If you have the "XCode (Developer) Tools" installed (it is included as an option in the OS X installer disks, or can be downloaded from Apple), try:<pre>sudo /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a b /Applications</pre>

    Hi Mr.Acevedo329!
    I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing. That article can be found right here:
    iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1382
    Specifically, you will want to take note of this section:
    The headphones don't work
    If your iPod's headphones don't work or have static or garbled audio, try connecting them to any other 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, like the one on your computer. If the issue with the headphones persists, replace them. For an iPod under warranty, you can order a replacement online. Otherwise, check out the cool headphones at the Apple Online Store. If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Left Click doesn't work in Hotmail or Yahoo

    I was running low on disk space and my IT dept said they deleted some "temporary files". Whatever they did hosed IE so that it reverted from v8 to v7. They redid the IE upgrade and installed a bunch of updates from MS and upgraded Java, but I'm still having a problem in FF. Most sites are fine, but when I go to Yahoo or Hotmail email, left click doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling FF. I've tried running FF in safe mode and reinstalling some of the plugins that I thought might possibly have an effect. I still can't get it to work. I've used some of the web dev tools in FF, all I can find out is some of the errors that are reported on page load. On Hotmail, one is that a var called "JQuery" is undefined, among others.

  • Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

    Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?
    I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
    Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
    The last holdout is Adobe.
    Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
    Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
    Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
    Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
    Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

  • Using Mt Lion, I find that my trash removal doesn't work on any of my iMacs. (two iMac and one Mac Air)

    Using Mt Lion, 10.8.3, I find that my trash removal doesn't work on eithe unlocked or locked files. I have tries manuelly unlocking files and even that doesn't work. The trash disposal goes through the motions of counting the files and, then, doing the file subtaction from the count and at the end, it starts to go into negative numbers and never stops. However, nothing has happened to the trash.  What's going on and how do I correct it. I have tries clean installs of the operating system and still nothing changes.

    Relaunch the Finder, then from the Finder menu bar, select
    Finder ▹ Preferences ▹ Advanced
    and uncheck the box marked Empty Trash securely. Try again to empty the Trash.

  • Finder sidebar doesn't work for networking?

    Does anybody else find that the sidebar in finder doesn't work when you network your computer to a pc network? I SEE the file servers when I click on "all" but when I double click on one of them it always says "connection failed". The only way I can access the network is to go to "Go" then "connect to server" then type in smb://ipaddress and have the server directly mounted to desktop (after changing finder preferences to show mounted volumes on desktop). Does the finder sidebar just not work then in leopard or am I doing something wrong?

    When you click on it, it will try and log on as user guest with no password. This will nearly always fail on a windows box.
    top right of the window pain there should then appear an option to 'connect as', click this and type in a valid username and password. Tick the box to add it to your keychain and it should then always connect when you click on the sidebar.

  • Left click DOESN'T work (laptop)

    Product:  Hp Pavilion g6-2290ev
    OS:  Windows 8.1
    No changes made to the system before the issue occurred
    The left click was working perfectly but the next day was like stuck. After plugging in a USB mouse, which worked, the laptop left click stopped responding at all. I did download all the latest synaptics drivers even reinstalled it but nothing. Then i ran an HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI and tested the mouse and gave me the failure ID : RLMXW2-6B76S5-MFPX0K-G2X203
    what should i do now?

    Likely the touchpad button board has gone bad and would need to be replaced. 
    Your Service Manual:
    Manual
    You have to replace the whole top cover. Page 21 lists the part numbers by color of the laptop.

  • Finding XML file from EJB doesn t work.

    Hi all:
    I have an EJB accesing a XML file to parse a XML document. The file is in the classpath, and sometimes the EJB finds it and sometimes not.
    What happens?
    When the EJB finds it, DOMParser method, parse(InputStream), doesn t work.
    I use this file to config DB connection externally for my BC4J (I don t use JTS).
    Thanks in advance.
    Joaqumn.

    Well, it won't work as iWeb has no import facility so cannot open html files.
    What you could do is upload the html file to wherever you are hosting your site and create a link to it from iWeb, or find another package similar to the one you are using at present that is for Mac rather then PC.

  • Please help... My live website doesn't work for Chrome Windows users...

    Hi, everyone, I really need your help.
    I just finished my first Muse site for a client and made it live for all the world to see. I double and triple checked everything and it looked great on my computer (Google Chrome browser, but on a Mac). However, when my client saw it, he said there was a huge mistake - the text of the navigation bar was cut in half!
    I asked my boyfriend to go on the site on his computer... also a Windows and on Google Chrome. Same issue. However, when he went on the site in Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, it worked just fine for him.
    How do I fix this?! According to Google Analytics, most of our customers are using the Chrome internet browser... and the site is already live and people are visiting it (ah!).
    EDIT: According to my mom, it doesn't work on her computer on neither Firefox or Google either. So I'm not sure how this bug functions.
    Here is the link to the site: www.alpineslopes.ca
    And here is a picture of the bug: (I don't know why it inserted it upside down, not sure how to change that, but hopefully you can see that the top part of the navigation is gone). 

    Hi Claudia,
    We have identified this as an issue with the font itself and not Muse. A bug has been filed for the same. As of now I can't commit a timeframe when this would be resolved. I will suggest using an alternate font, btw the font that you have used now looks equally good,

    or we can select a field but have to hit the space bar to select the field. The Left mouse button doesn't work. Any ideas? We have can left click the field we want on any other OS just not Windows 8.1.

    This is getting me pissed now. I have the Fitalty version and everything working fine at first, except for the stuttering in HF2, but now in Game mode only my Front right speaker doesn't work. I do have all the latest drivers on my system and Creative. I only lose my right front speaker in game mode, I swap to entertainment and everything works fine.
    I agree with the above poster that its a driver issue, I do know creative has always lacked in that dept (decent drivers) so I have no reason to believe otherwise now.
    I've tried alot of various things and sorry for not listing them all, nothing has worked yet.
