ITunes not showing in Applications folder

Hi there,
I've just realised that iTunes has vanished from my Applications folder. I'm not sure how long it has been gone.
However, as I still have iTunes in my Dock, I can boot the app from there. The programme works fine.
Further, doing a Spotlight search or a Find on iTunes does not reveal the iTunes application anywhere on my machine.
If I right-click iTunes in the Dock and get it to 'Show in Finder', it simply opens the Applications folder but has nothing selected.
Does anyone know how to get iTunes back, or where it is hiding on my computer?
Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for your tips.
V.K, I plugged that command into Terminal and came up with this:
*drwxrwxr-x@ 3 root admin hidden 102 20 Apr 19:48 /Applications/iTunes.app*
After showing the hidden files using Király's command, iTunes appeared in the Applications folder. However, it wasn't called .iTunes. When hiding the hidden files again, it vanished once more.
What would you suggest I do next?

Applications installed correctly but not showing in applications folder Macbook 2009

I have a friends MacBook running 10.6.8 2.26Ghz Intel Core Duo 8 gig ram. I have installed UnrarX a couple of times with no errors in the installation process, however the application does not appear in the applications folder or any where else and cannot find it to open .rar files.
I fixed the issue by simply copying the UnrarX app from my MacBookPro but would like to find out what is going on. I have been told by my friend that she has had this issue before.

I'm not familiar with that application, however, taking a guess that UnrarX installs in such a way that when you right click on a file name, it's a utility that's available to use on that file, as opposed to a separately executable program.

The purchased items it is not showing all applications

I HAVE IPHONE 4S 16GB
WHEN I GO TO APP STORE FROM THE IPHONE TO THE PURCHASED ITEMS IT IS NOT SHOWING ALL APPLICATION WHICH ONE I DOWNLOADING
PLEASE I WANT A SOLUTION.

Hi, rsvip7.
I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close. Test the results after processing these steps by attempting to access your previous purchases.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If the issue persists, I would verify which Apple ID was used to make the purchases you are unable to locate. If the application is located on your computer, you can either Right-Click and Get Info on the selected media for Windows or Control-Click and Get Info for Mac. The Apple ID that was used to purchase the media will be on the Summary tab. You can also verify what Apple ID it was purchased with by accessing your purchase history by following the steps below.
iTunes Store & Mac App Store: Seeing your purchase history and order numbers
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If the account used to purchase the missing content is different, you will need to login with that Apple ID in order to access prior purchases.

== This happened ==
Just once or twice

It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first. Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue. Thanks anyway.

Downloaded trial app does not appear in Applications folder

I downloaded the Photoshop CC trial, and my Creative Cloud app manager tells me it's updated. But, I can't find the app anywhere on my Mac OSX 10.8.5 computer - it's not in the Applications folder, which I know how to access from the Finder window. I did a search of my entire computer and there is no sign that this app exists. What am I missing?

Mail - IMAP folders not showing up in folder list

I have several mac mail imap folders and a few of them are not showing all imap folder - yet I can use move to folder to move emails to that folder. Any ideas?

Check on the IMAP settings (Gmail.com) that Pop is disabled.
It should be in the IMAP/Mail forwarding section.
When it is enabled, folders do not show up in mac mail

Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

How do I uninstall software not in my applications folder? The icon won't drag and drop to trash.

I received a fitness device and downloaded the software. It didn't download to my Applications folder and I wasn't smart enought ot make sure I saved it there. Now the device doesn't work and I want to uninstall the software. I tried dragging and dropping the icon from Launchpad but that doesn't work. This lomg-time PC user turned Mac lover needs hlep!

well this is strange, but hang with me a sec. Some of these will sound obvious but i have to ask them.
1) Are you 100% sure it's not in your application folder? (I have downloaded stuff and looked for a while without seeing the app RIGHT in front of me).
2) The hard thing to believe is that it is in your launchpad but NOT in your application folder.
3) Try downloding it again....it might find the detect the old version and overwrite it. I have never downloaded an app that did not automatically download to the applications folder, but if this one did, check to see what option it gives you to dowload to by default. That way you can see maybe where it was installed to, and thus find it and delete it. then reinstall to the applications folder.
let me know

Do you have Time Machine enabled. If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder. Then restore.

Application does not appear in applications folder

On OS X Mountain Lion, there is an application (not from the Mac App Store) that does not appear in my applications folder, but it DOES appear in Launchpad and I would like to delete it. How can I remove it? Since it is not from the Mac App Store, I cannot click the "x" or drag it to the trash.

Where is the application located if not in the Applications folder? You can use Spotlight to find it. When you do just drag it to the Trash.
