No System Profiler in my Applications Folder

No System Profiler in my Applications Folder. Where is the System Profiler ? There seems to be none on the whole disk -

You can also get to it by selecting "About this Mac" from the Apple menu, then clicking "More Info." This will open "System Information" (the same thing as System Profiler in previous versions of OS X), and you can click the "System Report" button or press Command-N to get the same system profiler report as was available in prior versions of OS X.

  • How can a system profile shift inside applications?

    I have a vintage macBook pro, running Snow Leopard, PS CS3, DW CS3. I also have an old Dell running XP and PS 7 and a lenovo Vista.  I have been using i1 Display 2 for monitor calibration on the mac and the Dell they all share one Display.  I replaced the display with a Dell U2412 and found the Dell monitor profile was very good on the lenovo & Dell except for the black and the next gray were both black, it did not work on the mac (no drivers?).  The custom profiles looked terrible, spotty grayscale, good skin & dull primaries or over sat. skin & okay primaries.  I bought an i1 Display Pro, the grayscale is perfect, skin is great primaries are good all but the blue and the mag both are soft that is to say the blue 255 B and 74 % tone in the PS info pallet is a medium cobalt blue and with no intensity as is the mag. a soft pure pink.  These custom profiles (I tried many) are loaded as the system profile on the mac.  I was viewing them in PS on the mac and I was in the process of e-mailing them to myself to view on the two PCs when I saw that they looked great in Mail?  They also looked good in Preview?? I opened Dreamweaver and loaded a blue/mag patch (looked soft) on a webpage and put it on my site, and it looked soft in all browsers on the mac.  When I say soft I mean soft! unmistakable not even close SOFT!.  I looked at the web page on the lenovo with IE and it displayed correct as did the target examples I had used on the mac using the Dell U2412 profile.  I then installed thei1 Display Pro software on the lenovo profiled the display from the lenovo, the targets looked correct as did the patch on the webpage using IE.
    I only mention all things not mac as controls.
    Recap;
    The Dell U2412 is capable of displaying the colours.
    The custom profile is loaded as the system profile on the mac.
    The mac with custom profile displays the 2 colours correctly in Mail and Preview both native mac apps
    The mac with custom profile does not display the 2 colours correctly in Safari a native mac app (actually part of the OS) also no good in PS and DW adobe         products as well as all other web browsers (all 3rd party)
    If you go to the Display widow of the System Preferences and change the profile, the screen and all windows in Photoshop change.
    The profile is being used by PS.
    The profile is being altered or corrupted in certain applications but corruption is limited to its use within those apps and does not alter the profile as it works in other apps before during and after it has been used by PS.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this with any of the hardware/software listed?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Just to add something the MacBook Pro does display the 2 colours the same in preview and Photoshop only the second screen (Dell U2412) has this problem.  

  • Safari 4 reports version 3.0.4 wrong version in System Profiler

    I am running Safari "Version 4.0 (4530.17)" as indicated by the "About Safari" dialog. However, the System Profiler under Software>Applications says the following:
    Safari:
    Version: 3.0.4
    Last Modified: 6/24/09 9:54 AM
    Kind: Universal
    Get Info String: 4.0, Copyright © 2003-2009 Apple Inc.
    Location: /Applications/Safari.app
    This issue has been for all Safari 4.x versions released so-far. This is a problem since we use data from the system profiler to track what versions of software we have installed to make sure that everybody in our office is up-to-date. With Safari claiming to be version 3.0.4 after every update, it does not tell us anything.
    I am wondering if:
    a) Is this a known issue and Apple is already taking care of it for the next release?
    b) Does anybody know some work-around to find the real version of a given application on a particular system - a solution that can be automated?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    HI,
    The System Profiler should always have the software versions up to date.
    Try deleting this file. com.apple.systemprofiler.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. Open the System Profiler and see if your Safari version is updated.
    And try repairing disk permissions. Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    One more thing you can do. With the System Profiler open, click Applications/Safari. Then from the Menu Bar, click File/Send to Apple.
    You can also provide feedback here. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • Status of System Profiler.app in Lion

    Perhaps because I had moved it elsewhere before upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, in addition to the new System Information.app I also have the old System Profiler.app in /Applications/Utilities. And I know that System Profiler.app will not itself run in Lion, but just gives an error message that it's not for this version of OS X.
    But...at the command line in a Terminal I can type system_profiler and get a report.  While there seems to be no such command-line executable as system_information.
    Question: OK to delete System Profiler.app?

    Yes, since it's not compatible. The new app uses the same Terminal commands as the old one.

  • Missing files, user folder, application folder and system folder

    I am using a MacBook Pro 2011 model with OS X 10.9.4.
    Since I bought the machine several years ago, I have had only a few small problems with it. Yesterday I wanted to reduce the size of a video, so I downloaded a video compressor/converter software, and left the computer on and the program compressing my video whilst I went off to work. When I returned home, the compressing program had a pop-up saying ''Could not complete compression, system full'' or something along those lines.... After trying to play the movie without success, I decided that I would restart my computer, as it had been on all day.
    When the computer restarted, it came up with the grey loading bar, which usually comes up when I have done a software update. It disappeared quite soon and several minutes later, my user profile appeared. I logged in as normal, and then tried to open my browser. An error message popped up stating"Can't open user profile directory, because you lack sufficient privileges. You might want to contact the administrator of this machine". I then tried to open other programs and they all came up with similar messages and did not open. Skype stated "Can't create a lock file at Users/Lauren/Library...etc".
    I then went to Finder to look at my applications and they were ALL GONE! Then I went to a folder I have with all my files called "My files", and although the primary folders were visible, "SCHOOL,WORK, HOLIDAYS PICS, etc", these folders were empty. I then checked my User folder, and my systems folder and these were empty too. However, the Desktop and Documents folders still contain the documents that were previously there, and my background images remained the same.
    I tried to open Word, and although it is also missing from the applications folder, and it opened, also allowing me to open a document which I know is located within the 'empty' folders. I have a feeling that my documents and files are still on my computer, but I don't know how to access them!
    Please if someone could shed light on the situation! All my work files and personal files are on this computer and I would be devastated to loose them!
    Let me know if you need any more ino or screen shots!
    Kind regards,
    Lauren

    OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
    You need to start by doing the following:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Applications not showing up in System Profiler?

    Anyone know why? All it says is "no information found" and hitting "refresh" makes no difference.
    Could it be somehow it uses spotlight to find the applications?
    It shows up the same blank page whether I boot into 64 or 32 bit.
    Thanks!

    Applications still not showing up. I also tried a safe boot; no go. The safe boot did solve another issue I was having; my security panel in system preferences would not open. After it did in safe boot, it opens in my main administrator account.
    But no go on the applications in sys profiler. However, I did install the same 10.6.5 on another internal drive with all updates, and THAT boot WILL show me all my applications, including all the ones on two parallels windows versions (XP and 7) and my bootcamp windows drive, so if I need a list, I'll do that.
    I'm guessing probably a symbolic link to the applications folder is amiss or possibly system profiler preferences.
    But don't know how to futz with those.
    Thanks.
    P.S. OK, I do know how to futz with the sysprofiler plist. Not the problem. Did the usual... dragged it to the trash, opened up system profiler, it created a new plist, STILL no applications showing up.
    I haven't moved my applications nor anything in my home folder nor changed my name or anything. Just really strange.

  • Folder background colors & System Profiler?

    I just installed Lion (10.7.4) yesterday and have a couple problems. First, there is a question mark in my dock for the System Profiler which used to be there and I can't find it in the application folder anymore. Also, the colored background of various data folders I created turn white when the files inside are sorted and the "background chooser" in "view options" won't change it back again. I used colored backgrounds in folders to help in organizing data files. Is there any way to get back control of this?

    On the background chooser issue, it looks like it only works in icon view.
    Change a window’s background
    You can use a color or photo as the background of a Finder window.
    Open the window and choose View > As Icons.
    Pictures and colored backgrounds are visible only when items in a window are viewed as icons.
    Choose View > Show View Options.
    Under Background, select either Color or Picture.
    Color: Click the color box and select a background color.
    Picture: Click Select and choose the picture you want to use.
    White: Return the background to normal.
    To have every Finder window on your computer use this color or picture as its background, click “Use as Defaults.”
    To reverse your changes, press the Option key and click “Restore to Defaults.”
    Note: The “Use as Defaults” and “Restore to Defaults” buttons do not appear if you’re adjusting icons for the desktop or for the “All My Files” and “All My Applications” folders.

  • 10.5.6 update is installing updates in Previous System/Applications folder.

    After updating from OS X 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 I discovered several of the updates were installed into Previous System/Applications rather than the Macintosh HD/Applications folder.
    This resulted in Mail (3.1 build 914/933) quitting repeatedly which is when I discovered I had a newer version (3.5 Build 933) in the Previous System folder.
    I then checked some of the other applications and further discovered that Spaces 1.0, Bluetooth 2.13, ical 3.06, Key Chain 4.0.2, X11 2.1.5 and Address Book 4.1.1 also installed to the Previous System folder.
    I switched the applications between the two folders and everything seems to be working OK but is this going to mess things up when 10.5.7 comes around?

    Just and update:
    -Previously I had deleted the Previous Systems folder.-
    I backed up my files and downloaded the massive 10.5.6 Combo update on top of the previous update. Restarted the computer and everything is working fine, all the newer versions of software are installed and running fine.
    So a happy ending for today.

  • Applications Info Is Not Showing Up in the System Profiler

    My applications info is not showing up in the new system profiler. I get the message "no information found". Any help would be appreciated.

    I'd get them to send you another card.  If it works, great!  If not, then the connection on the computer is bad.  If that's the case, you can get a wireless PCI card or a wireless USB adapter, but the PCI card would be better.  Test it with another Airport card first though.

  • I thought I deleted downloaded BlackBerry software, but it remained even after I did a system restore. I manually deleted it from the Apps folder, but it's still in System Profiler under Apps. How do I delete this from System Profiler?

    Right now, it seems as if it is still showing in System Profiler, then the unnecessary BlackBerry software I downloaded from the internet is still using memory, right? How do I permanently delete it?

    In addition to what Drew wrote, remember the Mac has a data fork and a resource fork.
    Here is an old thread but a nice recap by Dr. Smoke
    ._Files
    Note that the ._file files you note are the resource forks of Mac files you copied to the drive from your Mac, and these are only visible when you use the Flash drive on a PC. These are normal and indicate the Flash drive is already formatted for Windows.
    When you copy or save a file from a Mac OS X system to a Windows shared volume or a Windows-formatted disk, the Mac creates two files: the data fork (xxx) and the resource fork (._xxx). This is called Apple Double Format and is normal. The resource fork contains additional data about the file that is exclusive to the Mac that cannot be saved otherwise on Windows-formatted disks. This is new with Mac OS X, as documented in Mac OS X: Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix '._'.
    The resource fork files (._xxx) are necessary if you want to copy the file back to the Mac and retain the metadata. The resource forks of files are invisible when they are used on the Mac: the Mac OS Extended file system (aka HFS Plus or HFS+) uses forked files, with a file having both data and resource forks.
    You can delete the resource forks on the Windows disk if and only if you don't care about losing the resource fork information should you copy them back to the Mac, such as comments, image preview icon, etc. Some Mac applications use the resource fork data, so deleting the resource fork can be problematic if you copy the file back to the Mac. Likewise moving the file while not also moving its associated resource fork when using the data on a PC can result in problems when using some files again on the Mac.
    You can't prevent the resource forks from being created if you copy or save files from the Mac to the Windows share or Windows-formatted disk via Finder.

  • System Profile Option: Applications Global Idle Time

  • APPLICATION에 접속하지 않고 SYSTEM PROFILE VALUE를 SETTING 하는법

    제품 : AOL
    작성날짜 : 2006-05-23
    APPLICATION에 접속하지 않고 SYSTEM PROFILE VALUE를 SETTING 하는법
    ================================================================
    PURPOSE
    Application에 접속하지 않고 profile option value를 setting 하는 방법을
    알아본다.
    (11.5.4 ~ 11.5.10)
    Explanation
    Application에 접속하지 않고 profile option 값을 setting 하기 위해서는
    FND_PROFILE package의 SAVE function을 이용해야 한다.
    그러나 "update" 문장을 이용하여 직접 table을 update하는 것은 지원되지
    않는다.
    Test case로 아래는 "Guest User Password" profile option 값을 'GUEST/
    ORACLE'로 변경하는 자세한 절차이다.
    Application 화면에서 보여지는 name은 user가 알기 쉬운 name이긴 하지만,
    function은 profile option의 internal name을 취해야 하므로 internal name
    을 먼저 확인해야 한다.
    1.Apps user로 접속하여 아래 select 문을 이용하여 profile option의
    internal name을 확인한다.
    SQL> select profile_option_name
    from fnd_profile_options_tl
    where user_profile_option_name like
    '<Your Profile Option User Name or Part of it>';
    e.g. "Guest User Password" profile option에 대한 internal name이
    'GUEST_USER_PWD' 임을 아래 select 문으로 확인 할 수 있다.
    SQL> select profile_option_name
    from fnd_profile_options_tl
    where user_profile_option_name like 'Guest%';
    PROFILE_OPTION_NAME
    GUEST_USER_PWD
    위 userr profile option name을 대소문자 구분하여 적어 놓는다.
    2.Profile option에 필요한 값을 setting 하기 위해 아래 sample code를
    이용한다.
    ===========
    Sample Code
    ===========
    DECLARE
    stat boolean;
    BEGIN
    dbms_output.disable;
    dbms_output.enable(100000);
    stat := FND_PROFILE.SAVE('GUEST_USER_PWD', 'GUEST/ORACLE', 'SITE');
    IF stat THEN
    dbms_output.put_line( 'Stat = TRUE - profile updated' );
    ELSE
    dbms_output.put_line( 'Stat = FALSE - profile NOT updated' );
    END IF;
    commit;
    END;
    ===============
    End of Sample Code
    ===============
    SAVE function parameters에 대한 설명은 아래와 같다.
    function SAVE(
    X_NAME in varchar2,
    /* Profile name you are setting */
    X_VALUE in varchar2,
    /* Profile value you are setting */
    X_LEVEL_NAME in varchar2,
    /* Level that you're setting at: 'SITE','APPL','RESP','USER', etc. */
    X_LEVEL_VALUE in varchar2 default NULL,
    /* Level value that you are setting at, e.g. user id for 'USER' level.
    X_LEVEL_VALUE is not used at site level. */
    X_LEVEL_VALUE_APP_ID in varchar2 default NULL,
    /* Used for 'RESP' and 'SERVRESP' level; Resp Application_Id. */
    X_LEVEL_VALUE2 in varchar2 default NULL
    /* 2nd Level value that you are setting at. This is for the 'SERVRESP'
    hierarchy. */
    ) return boolean;

  • I'm dying to upgrade to Lion.  But I know some appls will no longer work.  I just switched from Quicken to iBank.  How can I find out what else I'm going to use?  Is there a way on system profile?  A specific 'kind' of application?

    Is there a way, in profiler? maybe to find out which programs I'll lose when i upgrade?  I've already switched from Quicken to iBank.  But I'd like to know in advance i I'm going to lose anything else important!

    Browse to the Mac page at http://roaringapps.com/. There you'll find hundreds (thousands?) of Mac applications listed with indications as to Lion compatibility.
    Surely, there's more to Lion compatibility than merely whether the app is "Intel" or "Universal", as opposed to "PowerPC" (as shown under Software > Applications in System Profiler).
    It's a bit surprising that nobody seems to have done an app that scans your system then looks up Lion compatibility at roaringapps.
