Missing application (says its installed but I can't find it)

Ok so I just downloaded an app and as soon as I went to check and see it it was gone! I can't find it by spotlight search either and it says its downloaded! So how can I find it or reinstall it without my computer?

Do you have any Parental Controls set?

    For some reason this happens to some people.  The one thing that works is to reboot your iPad.  To reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad wil restart.  Once it's back up, I'm betting you'll see iBooks.

  • Flash Player 10 tells me its installed but I can't find it?

    Hi,
    I work on a Mac G4 running OS 10.4.11.
    I need to look at some swfs so I went to download the free flash player. It downloads, the installer takes me through the installation, selects my Hard Drive (that has 66GB free) and tells me the installation is complete.
    But when I look in my Hard Drive it's nowhere to be seen - only the 'install flash zip' and '.dmg' files are visible.
    Am I being just being dumb here or do I need to do something? It's so frustrating I've ended up trying to re-install it a billion times and still nada.
    Many thanks for any suggestions,
    neil

    Hi had the same problem tried many ways to install, but i found where the file is, installed it from there and it worked.  Here is where you can find the file        c: windows/ system32/ macromed/ flash.  Hope this helps.

  • Hard drive says its full but I can only find 44G used!

    I knew the day would come when I filled my 80G hard drive. But when I look at the HD space occupied by each of the files in Finder I can only account for 44G used! - where is the missing 36?
    Also how easy is it to use an external hard drive for music/photos etc?
    Many thanks.

    You can relocate iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an
    externally enclosed hard disk drive; there are some
    rules and considerations, such as they go, so the
    computer won't be making duplicates to its internal
    hard disk drive, since you'd want to keep it slim.
    A search online should yield a few fairly well founded
    replies to relocating or archiving these libraries.
    You may be able to view the Hard Disk Drive as a List
    and see if you can find an entry for large blocks of items
    that may not be otherwise noted; but this may not be a
    way to go. There had been utilities to help find and fix
    the issue of lost space on a hard drive.
    Sometimes, a 'previous system' folder may be using some.
    Or an older anti-virus program (norton) may waste space.
    You may need to consider a really decent external HDD
    enclosure that can support full clones of everything; be
    sure the enclosed drive circuitry supports Mac OS X boot
    capabilities. Then make a clone (carbon copy cloner) of
    the entire contents to a prepared external drive, test it and
    be sure tor repair disk permissions on the booted clone.
    PPC Macs generally require FW400/800 external enclosure
    devices to support OS X booting; later ones USB2.0.
    And then use Disk Utility from the clone or booted install DVD
    and use its Secure Erase to overwrite 7-passes of zeros over
    the hard drive contents, then use the Partition Map tool to give
    it a suitable partition map scheme for the hardware involved,
    plus Format the drive to HFS+ Journaled, and either move the
    clone back in, or reinstall a completely new system from scratch.
    This may be a better way, and in the process, give the old HDD
    a workout to see if it isn't just getting old and starting to fail. If so,
    you could consider a larger external (partition into two, if big) and
    run the computer from there, if you don't want to take apart the
    iMac and replace the original hard drive with a larger/faster one.
    Anyway, have fun.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I was trying to install premier pro it says its installed but it isn't and i can't reinstall it

    i was trying to install premier pro it says its installed but it isn't and i can't reinstall it

    Thanks for the added information, the screenshot did not get posted but that is ok.
    These steps should resolve the issue on your Mac:
    Double-click on the link for Uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 at Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    Check if the Install link is now available in the Adobe Application Manager.
    If not, install and run the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove any traces of Premiere Pro. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
    The Install link should now be available in the Adobe Application Manager.

  • Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not

    Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not
    Has anyone seen this. It seems to happen with ARD 3, have not seen this in ARD 2.
    I go to the Install Packages on Target Computers, put in: 10.4.7 Combo (for the correct CPU, PPC or Intel), security updates, QT 7.1.2, etc.
    Push it to Macs I can connect to, observe and control.
    The progress bar copies the files (in some instances it does not) and then it just hangs there, bar does not move, Installs never finish, not good, very odd.

    Is it the same clients that have the problem every time? Are those clients doing anything cpu intensive? Have you tried rebooting the affected clients?
    Maybe try a smaller package on those clients.

  • Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save.  Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

    Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry!  I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired.  I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!!  The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated!  I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either.  I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

    OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
    That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
    The instructions how to do that are here:
    Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
    User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
    Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
    Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Go to the home screen, and swipe left-to-right.  Type the app name in the search oval that appears, and see if it appears there.
