Lost Power to Mac and Applications deleted

I have a new iMac which was supposedly connected to a UPS which turns out was faulty. Anyway I lost power to my building, which caused a power spike to hit the Mac, and it lost power. When I turned it back on, it was missing the applications that I had running at the time the power was lost.
When I went to run Safari or Mail from the dock it displayed a question mark, when I searched the hard disk for the applications they were no longer there, completely missing, not in the trash, no where, searched the hard disk and none were found. I have had to reinstall the applications again in order to enable them to run.
Has anyone heard of this?

    The iPad should be asking you for the Apple ID and Password when you turn it on.

  • I've upgraded to OS X10.8.2 but I can't open power pc files and applications

    I've upgraded to OS X10.8.2 but I can't open power pc files and applications

    Note that there's no such thing as "PowerPC files." PowerPC applications won't work on OS X 10.7 or higher, but the files created by those apps can still be opened if there is an updated version of that app. For example, if you have MS Office 2004, you cannot open any of those Office apps, and thus cannot open any of your Office documents. However, if you upgrade to Office 2011, or some other substitute (such as Apple's iWork suite or the free OpenOffice or LibreOffice), you will be able to open those documents again just fine.

  • Icloud lost in finder favorites and applications

    Hi everybody,
    after getting my new imac with mountain lion (I think) I more or less immediately deleted icloud from my finder favorites and (think) from my applications, too.
    So now I still have icloud in the system preferences pane, but would like to have it back in my finder favorites and applications.
    Already tried to find it in the mountain lion install.pkg, because I can't find it anywhere on the harddisk in the finder search anymore.
    Tx for your help. Any suggestions well appreciated
    Ron

    Open a Window and in the sidebar click on the icon of the house - that is your user folder (and it has your account name). Now look in the window for your Pictures folder. Drag it onto the sidebar and release it. It should be back in the sidebar.
    You cannot drag items from the sidebar to move them. If you want to put an alias of the Pictures folder on the desktop, find it in your user folder and drag it to the desktop while holding command + option.

  • FW CS4 Mac: Top left of window lost under Tools Panel and Application Bar

    Hello!
    Somehow Fireworks started opening all my windows pushed to the top left, and tucked under the tools panel and the new Applications Bar - the only way to move windows, is to un-snap the bars and pull them off of the top of the screen -- really annoying.  I tried throwing out FW CS4's prefs files - no help.  Changing the view mode - no help...
    Help?

    These are the steps that should be followed:
    Restore default preferences
    Quit Fireworks.
    Locate the Fireworks      Preferences file on your hard disk and delete it.
    The exact location of this file varies from system to system.
    In Windows, preferences are      in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder.
        Windows [Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS#\English\
    In Mac OS, preferences are in      the Library/Preferences folder in your user folder. For information about      locating your Mac OS user folder, see Apple Help.
    Mac              [User]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Fireworks CS#/en/Fireworks Preferences
    Note: On Mac OS, most      Fireworks user-specific configuration files are stored in your      user-specific Application Support folder.
              The Fireworks CS4 Preferences file is an exception.
    3.  Restart Fireworks.
    The next time Fireworks is launched, a new preferences      file will be created that restores Fireworks to its original      configuration.

  • Lost connection to .Mac and Mac Mail

    I have been locked out of my .mac account and my mac email account because for some reason the system does not accept my password (which I know is correct) and my personal information (also correct). I have used this account for years, but now have lost contact with people mailing me at this address and all back up information, photos on home page, etc. Mac says it will send my pasword to my old e-mail, but this does not help me because I can't access it. (Apple's technical support people could not help me, when I called).
    Can anyone advise? Thanks.

  • HT201317 How do you save photos from photo stream to a Mac and then delete them from iPad?

    I am trying to transfer photos taken from my iPad (where they were taken) and want them saved on my Mac using the icloud and photo stream where the photos now reside.  If I saved them as events on the MAC can they now be deleted from the photo stream?

    Yes.  Set up iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences like this:
    The photos get imported into an Event automatically.  Always confirm that the photos have been safely imported before deleting off your iPad.  Sometimes importing takes a while and you don't wan't to jump the gun on the iPad.

    ps. It may be elementary but because it was a first attempt... I think it is pretty darn good... kiss kiss.. thanks..

    Slightly off topic, but I use a Tenba Aircase when I need to travel with my Mac Pro. It's much lighter and doesn't always incur oversize/weight on airplanes. With Apple totally flaking out on the pro market, I may move to a suped-up iMac, which would certainly be lighter.

  • Just installed Maverick, updated Pages. Lost power to computer and now Pages crashes on opening every time.

    I've got an imac 27inch, just installed Maverick and updated Pages. Power went out in my house and now, when I open Pages, it flashes a brief recovering screen (do you want to reopen?) then crashes completely. Need help. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. I have never had a problem with Firefox before, and use it as my main browser. However recently, after updating to 3.6.8, its been crashing all the time. Up to 20 times an hour. Usually it occurs when I click a link from a Google search, or in Yahoo. Even if I send in a crash report and restart Firefox, it crashes as soon as the same page is brought back up, or the same link is clicked. I have also had it crash when completely idle. Its very frustrating as it is my favorite browser. I've resorted to using Google Chrome for the time being.

    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available.

  • I just updated to new software, this was my first mistake, at first contacts were not there and my pics, and it deleted all my messages, after alot of research i got all this back, but now cant text, getting error "sms box is full"

    i just updated to the new software, now im getting error when i send a txt "cannot receive in box is full" ive deleted alot and cant get this fixed, also when i first did the update i lost all contacts, pics and it deleted all txt conversations after several restores i did get all that back but cannot receive txt, any suggestions?

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    I've tried it but since I'm using a USB disk drive it keeps freezing up or showing you a folder blinking folder with a question mark. (?). When I start the mac up I hold the control button until the Mac OS install disk shows up. My hard drive doesn't show up anymore. Is there any other button I have to hold down to bring a different menu up. I have also tried to boot up holding control and C and nothing happens.  Thanks for the help so far
