Missing apps in tray?

Hi,
Before I upgraded to Mountain Lion, whenever I opened an App that wasn't permanently on the dock, it's icon would appear on the dock temporarily when the app was open. Now, when I open an App

More than once, I have tapped the search window on the Google homepage to bring up the keyboard to Swype a search term.
Under the search window is the list of my previous search terms (words/phrases). More
than once, the search terms were NOT mine.
One time was during the holidays and the searches were for shopping, stores, etc.
No one had access to my phone and I had not searched for anything even close to that.
The second time was on MLK Day. The unrecognizable search terms were all about MLK.
I use Lookout. I don't think it's malware, but it makes me wonder if an app can and did somehow do this.
Makes one wonder, what if whatever is doing this searches for something illegal?
Bizarre and a little unnerving, but something to be overly concerned about? I don't know.

  • I upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and cannot restore missing apps.

    I upgraded my iPad 2 to the latest iOS 7 and lost several apps. Some of which I paid for, like Pages and Numbers. With that, I lost all the documents buried in iBooks, Pages, Numbers, etc.
    I tried to sync with my computer, but one thing Apple does not tell you is that you must have the latest iTunes 11 to sync iOS 7 devices. I do not. I tried to up date my iTunes and learned that the operating system on my desk top does not support iTunes 11. And my desk top does not support the latest operating system. My desk top is working great and no reason to replace.
    Next try was to re download the app from the App Store.  iBooks was a success, everything came back, no charge. I had to pay for Pages, it appears to be an upgraded version made for iOS 7, no documents were restored. I do not see the older version available.  I did not waste time and money on the rest of the missing apps.
    Any suggestions.

    Yes, I did back up my iPad to my computer before upgrading to iOS 7.  However, since upgrading to iOS 7, my iPad will no longer sync with my iMac.  You must have the latest iTunes 11 to sync iOS 7 devices. I do not. I tried to up date my iTunes and learned that the operating system on my desk top does not support iTunes 11. And my desk top does not support the latest operating system.

  • MISSING APPS PLEASE HEEEEEEELLLPP!

    Hi, I've attached a screen shot of my desktop. Notice the 2  ? in the dock. They should be the App Store and iMovie icons. Plus, the iTunes icon is just the generic app symbol. I upgraded to snow leopard a couple of months ago but I'm sure these apps have worked since then. I still have my iMovie files on the HDD but cannot open them because the app is missing. What's the deal anyone?

    Your system specs are listed as Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.3. Is that the version of OS X your Mac is running?
    What model year is your Mac, when did you buy it?
    Yes if you are still running Snow Leopard the only way to reinstall any of the iLife apps is from the original System Reinstall DVDs that came with your system.
    But I suspect you have more problems than just those few missing Apps. Like I said Apps don't just disappear.
    In fact NO files just magically disappear from a Properly working computer. Whether it is a Mac or a Windows PC.
    That just doesn't Happen.
    There is always some other reason for that to happen and more than likely it is some type of hardware failure.

  • How do I reinstall a missing app icon

    A couple of my app cons are missing from my apps folder as well as my dock, but the programs are still there. (I have to run them from spotlight.)
    How do I reinstall a missing app icon?
    Thanks!

    If you've found them in Spotlight, where are they? (hover over the app you found in the Spotlight list to see its path in a tooltip, or click Show All, then hover over the name of the app and see the path at the bottom of the window).
    Once you open that location in the Finder, you should be able to drag them back to the Applications folder.

  • Reinstalling missing apps question

    A couple of weeks ago I had a problem as a new creative cloud subscriber which was resolved with help here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1159837
    In the process of resolution a tech support fellow in India advised me to remove everything in my iMac that was related to Adobe and start fresh. Tech support did not mention the Adobe cleaner tool that I learned about later reading posts here. So I just uninstalled all the apps that had uninstallers but with Acrobat XI Pro and Muse and maybe one or two more apps ( these did not have uninstallers) I merely dragged them into the trash.
    So I was mostly successful reinstalling creative cloud apps but now my Adobe Application Manager says that Muse and Acrobat XI Pro are up to date but they are actually not installed.
    How do I reinstall these missing apps and also get Adobe Application Manager in sync with my iMac ?
    Thank you again for your help in advance.  I am cautious about too much tinkering in these delicate realms.
    Thomas

    Hi again and thanks,
    I followed your instructions and a fresh list of applications appeared.
    I successfully downloaded apps I did not have : Muse, Lightroom, Touch App Plugins but Acrobat XI Pro "installation failed."  I tried twice.
    Firefox came up and opened a file :      file:////tmp/6F0641F2-9379-4BE7-AA6D-2000B4644F21/Summary.htm
    Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting.  For example, ERROR:
    -0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)
    Also, I have all the rest of the other Creative Cloud apps installed already.  Should I leave Adobe App Manager as it is now wherein it says " install " by each of my already installed applications.  Or should I close the app manager as it is?
    I will leave AAM open on my desktop until I hear further.
    Thanks.
    Thomas

  • Re-Install Missing Apps

    Is there a way to re-install individual missing apps (Apple DVD Player and Apple Mail) either from the install disc or a download site? Please don't ask how they went missing.

    Dave,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What happens in Vegas...
    Pacifist 2.0.1 is a shareware application that opens Mac OS X .pkg package files, .dmg disk images, and .tar, .tgz, and .tar.gz file archives and allows you to extract individual files and folders out of them. This is useful, for instance, if an application which is installed by the operating system becomes damaged and needs to be reinstalled without the hassle of reinstalling all of Mac OS X.
    After you reinstall your applications, from your installation disks you should download and reinstall the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update to ensure that you have the most recent versions of your reinstalled applications.

  • 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 apps since upgrading to version 4.5

    I lost a number of important applications when I upgraded.  Moreover, I messed up and did not backup ( or couldn't find it if I did).  I no longer have tasks, maps, or the ability to open attachments in Word and PDF.  Instead, I have a bunch of instant messaging apps I don't want.  Is there any way to get the missing apps back without having to redo everything?

    the backup should have been saved in MY DOCUMENTS. This can restore data but not programs
    docs2go, tasks, maps, bbmessenger, memo, those are all part of the device software.
    You can open DTM click on application loader, click on update, it will find the same 4.5 software that you just installed, and give you a check list, scroll the check list and find your programs. pput in a check mark and continue. then it will install those few apps. Dont worry it wont reinstall everything.

  • Missing 'Apps you can add'

    I am wanting to add an Announcement library, form library, and picture library to a site collection; however, when selecting 'Add an app' only three apps are listed - document library, custom list, and tasks.  Note: The Team Collaboration Lists feature
    has been activated.  Any assistance with accessing the missing apps would be greatly appreciated.

    There has been a Site Collection Feature for this within previous versions of SharePoint.  I don't know how this works within SharePoint 2013 but it would be worth a try.

  • Missing apps on touch

    The last time I synced my ipod touch, it seemed to delete some of my apps.  The apps are still in my itunes, but when I sync the touch, they still do not get loaded onto the touch.  I restored the touch, but it still did not load the apps that where originally on it.  Are they hiding somewhere?  I also recently added some apps (FIFA 12), could it have taken up more space, so the other apps are not on it anymore due to space?

    Any restrictions set for app installation in Settings/General/Restrictions?
    Did you use the same account to buy those missing apps? If they were bought with a different account, they won't sync.

  • Missing apps, photos and podcasts after ios 5.0.1 upgrade

    After I updated my Ipad 2 with the ios 5.0.1 update, I am missing apps, photos and podcasts.  I purchased the full version of a calculator before the update and now it is gone and when I go back to download it, it wants me to pay again.  Also, I can see the podcasts in my library on my computer, but they want sync to my Ipad, despite them being there before. Is anyone experiencing similiar issues?

    Hi.
    You can easily restore all of your apps, photos and podcasts.
    If you activated the iCloud service before updating, your Apps will be storaged "in the cloud" and ready to be re-downloaded. Otherwise, go to App Store and choose "Updates". Here, in the top of the screen, is the "Purchased"-button. Tapping here will give you a complete list of all your downloaded Apps, ready to be re-downloaded.
    As for your podcasts, plug your iPhone to your PC/Mac. Single-click your iPhone-device in the menu on the left. Once the iPhone-window appear, go to the tab-menu in the top of the screen and choose 'Podcasts'. From here you can decide which podcasts should be sync with your device.
    I hope this was helpful.
    Best regards.
