HT5548 No apps are showing themselves in launchpad, but are still installed on the computer. Any suggestions?

Not sure how to go about this one!

If this were happening to me I would delete the contents of this folder:
~/Library/Application Support/Dock
and then restart the Dock (e.g., by quitting it via Activity Monitor).

    The update server is down; try this temporary workaround

  • My Facebook and Weather Channel app are still waiting after the update to ios6

    Since I updated yesterday afternoon all of my purchased apps are not showing on the wall and two of my apps are still waiting to be updated.  I have shut my phone down and restarted it plus logged into FB through my settings.

    I just found this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16197528#16197528
    Apparently, my setup of using a symlink (created in Terminal via "ln -s") for my "Movies" folder in my home directory to a different directory on the same HD had something to do with the problem. I removed the symlink and moved the folder back into my home folder. Then FCPX prompted to upgrade my projects. I'm backing them up now before trying to do that. ;^)
    So the bug is apparently that FCPX cannot work correctly with Mac OS's filesystem features… :-(

  • Apps are not installing on the touch

    I recently run a software upgrade on my ipod touch 4g. it made my games stop working, so i reverted to a version from day before.
    that completely removed all of my apps and music.
    i am now trying to get it all back piece by piece.
    finally got some apps back into my itunes.
    when i try to sync the apps into the ipod, it doesn't install them.
    here is how i am doing it:
    1. download the apps for ipod touch using itunes
    2. click on my ipod touch device
    3. click on "Apps" up top
    4. I can see the apps in the little grid, under "Iphone and ipod touch apps" so i check off the apps i want to install on the touch.
    5. i can see the preview of my touch desktop change, with new game icons i am trying to sync. But when i press "apply" it attemps to do it.. the progress bar blinks for a while, than goes away and nothing is copied. the checks next to the apps are cleared.
    i don't see any errors..

    i just checked for updates and got this message: "this version of ipod software (4.3.2) is the current version"
    anyone know how i can troubleshoot why my programs are not syncing ?

  • TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

    Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

    I just started having this yesterday.  It's only happened twice, but it's annoying.  My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated.  Worked fine after that.  Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened.  I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter.  I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

  • Ipod shows a white screen but  it still connects to my computer

    Today I was silly enough to drop my Ipod accidentally on the ground (by accident of course) though not very hard, when I turned it back on a white screen shows up. However I can still reset it but it still shows up as a white screen. When I plug the Ipod into my computer Itunes still picks it up and all of my songs & albums show up still. When I take the Ipod out it's still a white screen. I've tried resetting the thing many times but still no luck. What should I Do? Does anyone still think there may be hope restoring this?

  • ITunes match does not work on my iPhone 4S, but is working across all of my other Macs and iOS devices.  All other iCloud services are working fine on the 4S - any suggestions?

    iTunes match is not working on my iPhone 4S; it works awesome across all of my Macs and other iOS devices (iPad 2, iPod Touch 4g x 2, and my wife's iPhone 4).  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    It is not possible to "toggle back and forth" at will. If you associate a device with an Apple ID and you have iTunes Match enabled you must wait 90 days before you can associate it with another Apple ID. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • Apps menu shows 5 updates available, but when I go to download them it says none are available

    apps menu shows 5 updates available, but when I go to download them it says none are available.  How do I remove that number?

    Get some apps from someone else, perhaps? You can check by doing a "Get Info" on your apps; that will show the account under which they were purchased.
    Oh, and just to clarify so I'm not barking up the wrong tree, what exactly is iTunes saying? Is it showing the number in the icon indicating that there are five apps to be updated but showing the screen that says "No updates are currently available"? Or is it giving an error message somethign like "the item you requested is not available in the iTunes Store"?

  • Does MAS show updates if apps are not installed ?

    I got several apps from the Mac App Store but deleted some of them. In fact I deleted all traces of these apps even .bom and .plist files in "receipts".
    Now updates of not installed apps are not shown in the App Store application. Is this due to the fact that these apps are not installed OR because I deleted the .bom and .plist files in "receipts" ?
    Thx.

    steps to find these "invisible" resources:
    1) In Finder type Command F (Find)
    2) In menu bar select "Kind"
    3) Scroll down to "Other"
    4) Wait a moment (menu has to rebuild itself)
    5) Scroll down and select: "System Files"
    6) In Finder type Command F (Find)
    7) In menu bar select "System Files" and "Are included"
    8) Type: "receipts"
    voila ,with search results you will get the complete path which should be like: yourharddisk/private/var/db/receipts

  • I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album.

    I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album as a proper image. Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

    Try rebooting your iPad and see if they reappear.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If they still do not show up, make sure hat you don't have content restrictions set that could prevent certain apps from showing up on your iPad. Settings>General>RestrictionsAllowed Content.
    if you still don't see them, connect your iPad to iTunes on your computer and you should see them in the iPad mini screens on the right side of iTunes after the iPad has been selected under "devices" and when you are in the apps pane of iTunes.

  • HT201272 Help - have an iTunes account on iPad for well over a year. Just bought iPhone 5 and I cannot purchase apps using my account. I am asked to verify my credit card and details but then it rejects them. They are still fine on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I tried to contact support but they do not recognise my Thai phone number.
    the Thai support site is all in Thai (and I neither read or write it).
    All I want is a single email address that works - it must be quite a simple process.
    I don't want to create another account with another credit card - life will just get seriously complicated then.
    BTW my apple I'd is accepted for downloading free apps!!!

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
