Missing apps after archive & reinstall

I recently did an archive & reinstall. Opening iMovie for the first time after it gave me the following error:
"Missing Quicktime Components: The QuickTime components necessary to view, edit, import, and export several kinds of movies are not installed. These components are included with the iMovie installer; please re-install."
iMovie still opened but I didn't want to entrust it with importing files. So I went here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imovie712.html and downloaded the latest iMovie and tried to install it. But I got this error:
"Alert: An eligible iMovie application was not found in the location /Applications."
Huh, that's weird. So I looked in my Applications folder and not only is iMovie not there, but neither is iPhoto, or iDVD!
I suppose I could bring them back with the versions in my Time Machine prior to the archive and reinstall, but would they come whole? Would it be better to reinstall these from the Installation DVD's? WHo knows what else is missing? Guess that is what I get for using the Leopard Installation DVD I got for my G5, rather than using the disks that came with this MacBook Pro.
Any advice?

no, you don't need either. you just want to reinstall ilife, not the whole system and you don't need pacifist for this.
if you bought ilife separately, just use the ilife install DVd. If you use ilife that came with the computer do the following.
insert the install dvd 1 that came with the computer. open it in finder and double-click on "install bundled software only". follow the instructions. once ilife is installed rerun the ilife updates to bring it up to its current version.

Missing apps after iOS 5update

Missing apps after upgrade to its 5 operating system. How to recover apps. Syncing does not do it.

I recently updated my iphone to ios 5..everything else synced up but the Apps. How do i recover the Apps??

This restored my missing apps after belle update (...

I see a few people with missing Apps after installing Belle, so as I seem to have stumbled upon a solution I thought I'd post it to help a few people out.
I removed my memory card and then reran the Belle installation process from Nokia Suite.
All the apps that were missing after the several previous times I ran the update, are now on my phone.
Hope this works for a few other people too!

this was the obvious first thing I did. It did not work for me.

Missing iMovie components & Apps after Archive & Install

"Missing Quicktime Components: The QuickTime components necessary to view, edit, import, and export several kinds of movies are not installed. These components are included with the iMovie installer; please re-install."
The modal message is telling you that some of the components used by iMovie for import/editing are missing and that the easiest way to re-install them is to re-run the iLife '08 (or more specifically the iMovie '08) installer package. For instance, Imovie '08 installs a special MPEG-2 component that converts normal MPEG-2 content from a DVD or HDD camcorder to all I-frame MPEG-2 content (the equivalent of Motion-JPEG video) which can be edited in iMovie '08. The component also allows you to view such MOV files in the QT Player others others without iLife '08 installed would not be able to view them.
iMovie still opened but I didn't want to entrust it with importing files. So I went here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imovie712.html and downloaded the latest iMovie and tried to install it. But I got this error: "Alert: An eligible iMovie application was not found in the location /Applications."
Re-install from your original installation disks. This area is for upgrading earlier versions of iMovie '08. If you are already running v7.1.4, the the software on this page will not allow you to "upgrade" your software since it is looking for specific older versions. Besides, these upgrades may assume the additional components are already install not may not even bother to check for them.
Would it be better to reinstall these from the Installation DVD's?
Yes.

How to restore missing apps after a itunes sync?

Have iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.8
To install an app (Skype), my phone recommended I do it thru iTunes 10.5.2 (via usb tether)
Checked the sync box, selected the Skype app after I downloaded it in iTunes.
The sync process went thru a bunch of 'finding, removing, backing up' of my installed APPs.
When it was done, all my installed APPs were gone from my iPhone.
Tried doing the 'Restore' function, I believe.
That went thru some dialogs, but still no APPs were restored to my iPhone.
Some blogs say to use the 'Purchased' icon in the APP STORE app on the iPhone; there is no 'Purchased' icon. (there used to be, but not now)
Prior to Sycing I had more than 15 updates to install. I no longer have any updates, as the apps are gone I suppose.
Is there a back up of my iPhone APPS on my computer? The dialogs that were running and identifying the APPs that I have instaleld leads me to believe that iTunes was making a backup ,and that everything was fine.
Where are my APPs?
Thanks!

When, if ever, was the last time you synced your phone with that computer? It sounds to me like you either set up a new sync relationship with a computer other than the one you normally sync to, or you set up a sync relationship for the first time since you got your phone. In either case, you apparently did not read the warning dialogs that popped up telling you that your phone would be erased and the contents would be replaced with what was in iTunes on the computer.
You're going to have to re-download the apps that you're missing now. It's easiest to do this from the computer (especially now that you have a sync relationship established).
On the phone, open the app store. Click on updates. Click on purchased. Select "Not on This iPhone" and donwload the ones you want.

Missing Apps after System restore

Yesterday I did a System Restore on my iPhone 3Gs and now all of my Apps are missing. After this I tried to do a Restore from backup again but I still have the same problem.
I don't have Sync Apps ticked in iTunes as if I do it will sync all apps and there is a mix of iPad and iPhone apps there. For some Apps there are separate iPad and iPhone versions and I'm not sure if this will cause any problems.
Is there a way to have the apps restored to the same folders they were in before? I know I can sync selected apps from iTunes but I spent a lot of time organising all of my apps into folders and I'm hoping to avoid having to do that again. When I tick "Sync Apps" but before actually going ahead iTunes shows 10 screens of Apps and none are in folders as they were before.
I thought that doing a restore from a backup that I did just before the restore would have restored the phone exactly as I had it before.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

No iTunes content including 3rd party apps are included with your iPhone's backup. If you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes along with the apps selected below that you want available on your iPhone - which can be placed in folders with iTunes followed by a sync, iTunes does not know which apps you had installed on your iPhone. With Sync Apps selected along with the apps in your chosen folders, when restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone will be restored in this regard. After restoring as a new iPhone or from the backup, this must be followed by a sync to re-transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps to your iPhone. What is selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences will be pre-selected prior to the initial sync with iTunes after the restore, and the apps will be transferred back to the same folders as before. Your mistake in this process was not having Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab. With this selected, after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
If there is an iPad only app that you select to be transferred to your iPhone, a warning message will be provided with the following sync indicating the app cannot be installed on your iPhone. You can create your app folders with iTunes followed by a sync.

Applications not working after archive reinstall

After a new optical drive, the tech at the mac store suggested that I clear up some space and archive reinstall. I did, and now all applications are seriously crashing - For ie iPhoto's icon just bounces then notifies that it has 'Quit Unexpectedly', and is now constantly failing to open. iTunes says the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version. I don't know why. I do have Time machine backup's. Any suggestions on a next step....
I had upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 last year and it was those new Leopard Install disc that I used for the archive reinstall because the option to preserve user data was greyed out when I tried my original discs that came with the iMac.
Message was edited by: circularlogik

Have you run Software Update yet?
There are frequent updates to the OS after the disc is released. The last release of Leopard is 10.5.8.
I just did an archive and reinstall from 10.5.1, and the Mac OS X Combined update for me is 768Mb!

Missing apps after reinstallation

Hi,
I reinstalled the Nokia Belle on N8 after there was some space issue based on recomnedation from Customer support i am missing Need for speed application. I checked in Nokia Ovi store app i can find it , if i restore my backup i will still be having space issue on C i think. any suggestions are welcome.
Regards
K.R

If you mean Need For Speed tha comes pre-loaded with N8-00,
and you lost it after the belle update, then its pretty Normal.
Suggestions(as you said): If you backed up via Nokia Suite then there are 100% chances that you will face the same space issues again.
To avoid these, Restore the BackUp you took.
Then connect you phone in Mass Storage mode & manually move all the files in your PC. from E:/ & F:/ both.
Now! do a hart reset & also format your Mass memory & memory card.
This will clean up all your space.
Now again connect phone in Mass storage mode.
And manually move your back-up files in your phone from PC.
NOTE: Do not move folder's like - cities, data, i18n, Nokia_Belle, tmp, logs, private etc.
As these are used by Built-in Apps & other 3rd party apps. So no need to backup those folders, as they will be auto created when you start installing fresh apps.
Always install apps, games, themes In your Mass memory or Memory card.
Always reserve C:/ for Nokia apps only.
In Love with Nokia, Symbian & N8-00

Missing mail after "archive and install"

Hello,
I went to talk to the folks at the "genius bar" today because my powerbook fan has been blazing like crazy. I had OS 10.4 on my computer, which I had installed from an upgrade about a year ago. I bought the computer a few months before that, when it still shipped with OS 10.3. So the guy at the mac store told me to re-install the system using the archive and install feature and the original install disks. He told me to re-install 10.3, which came with the computer, and then to run the upgrade that I have to get it back to 10.4.
I am having some problems. I have reinstalled X.3 and find that when I open the Mail application, all of my messages of the last year are gone. I can't find them anywhere. But everything else on the computer seems untouched...all of my documents, and even old emails from before I made the upgrade to 10.4, one year ago.
I am afraid that if I do anything else, like install 10.4 that I will lose any chance of recovering these files. Does anybody have any advice on where I can recover the emails from my inbox and other folders? The guy at the apple store assured me that everything would be saved by clicking the "preserve users and network settings" option in the re-install program.
Or will everything show up again when I re-install 10.4? I was holding off on doing this because I wanted to see if the fan would run less using the older system, as someone suggested that I try this. I also tried to "import" the inbox in the library/mail folder, but this only imported all of the messages that I already have...not the lost ones.
thanks for any advice!

Did the folks or this person at the "genius bar" also recommend that you create or update your backup before performing an Archive & Install?
If not, a "genius" he ain't.
The mbox filing structure used with Tiger Mail is significantly different than the mbox filing structure used with previous Mail.app versions under Jaguar and Panther.
Tiger Mail stores each message contained in a mailbox as a separate file in .emix format located within the Messages folder for the mailbox. Although you can import Jaguar and Panther mailboxes to Tiger, the mbox format used with Tiger Mail is not backwards compatible or interchangeable with Jaguar or Panther Mail without taking an additional step first. The reason you are seeing the old messages available before and up until the time you upgraded to Tiger is because you didn't delete the left over content package files used by Panther Mail and one of these files contains all messages messages and message attachments which are not automatically deleted after the conversion process to the mbox format used with Tiger Mail is completed.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account). Within the account named folder is there an INBOX.mbox file and/or an INBOX.mbox named folder and the same for the other mailboxes (mboxes) within the account named folder?
Tiger Mail.app mboxes at the Finder level are folders and each folder contains a Messages folder which stores each message contained in the mailbox as a separate file in .emix format.
Jaguar and Panther Mail.app mboxes are .mbox files only, not a folder.

Where are my apps after archive & install?

I was having some problems with some apps on my iMac 400 DV such as Mail and Address Book would not run, they would immediately shut down.
I did an archive & install from Retail os 10.2 discs and now, my HP Director ALL-In-One is gone. It seems that the actual folder is still there but now the dock icon is gone and the director does not start up automatically like before.
Thanks.

I suspect the User account info is missing rather than the applications.
Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > and run the application you're missing in the Dock. Once the icon is on the right hand edge of the dock hold down the Ctrl key and click the icon. Choose "Keep In Dock".
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Choose your name on the left hand pane and then click Login Items Click on the + towards the bottom, navigate to and select the applications you wish to load automatically.
Merry Christmas

app missing from iphone after icloud back-up

I ran a time machine backup for the first time yesterday and left it to run all night. Not wanting to leave my laptop accessible to preying eyes I logged off before I left the office by going to the top right of the screen, clicking on my name, and choosing "Login Window" off the drop-down list.
That isn't logging off, that is just locking the screen.
This morning I log back in and the time machine has completed, but my pictures and videos are both missing on my hd and in my time machine backup. I googled this issue but came up empty handed.
Time Machine isn't going to do anything like that. It sounds like Time Machine ran fine, but your files were already gone. Were you doing anything in those areas?
Right now I'm running a trial data recovery app to see if I find them, but is there any other way around this, especially since I'm trying to avoid paying $100 for software?
Boot your system from the install disk and run Disk Repair. Then reboot and run Disk Permissions. See if anything shows up again.

Missing apps after Time Machine restore after internal HD crash.

2 TB internal HD on 2011 iMac crashed. Apple store replaced hard drive. It took 25 hours to restore from the Time Machine backup. Immediately I noticed that many of the desktop icons were missing and were replaced by large question marks. These include App Store, Mail, Firefox, iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, Safari, Quicktime Player, Photo Booth, Garageband, and Facetime. When I select Software Update... I get no response. I have no install media as it all came installed on the iMac I bought last year. I am on Mountain Lion. I turned off Time Machine to not confuse matters more. thx

Was able to get Firefox from a locally networked old Powerbook. Connected to internet and downloaded iTunes 10.6.3. Bookmarks and all music seems to be ok. Now I just need a was to find which app is missing for "Software update..." and "App store...".

how can i move apps to iphone after software update?

Connect to itunes, make sure that under the apps tab that apps are checked to sync, then click sync at the bottom.

Missing apps after upgrade

Since updating to iOS 7 on iPad I'm missing many apps. I have message that I need 17 apps to update but when I try to update I get message that all my apps are up to date. Any suggestions?

When something wonky like this happens, I always try rebooting the iPad and then see what happens. You will not lose any data, and it can cure many software hiccups.
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.
