Root Applications folder is empty? ls -laO shows nothing

For some raisin, for the past couple days I've noticed my root applications folder is empty. The applications on the dock still launch fine, "Show in finder" shows an empty applications folder. ls -laO shows nothing. I notice that, if I look at it funny, sometimes the "utilities" folder pops up, but typically only for a few seconds. Same with with the MS Office folder. Searching for application names in spotlight shows them, but "open in enclosing folder" shows an empty Applications folder. Searching for Terminal shows Terminal, along with a full Utilities folder, but the applications folder is still empty when I go up the tree. I have no clue what's going on here. Can anyone give me an assist before I flatten and reinstall?

in the root Applications folder, all my apps are there, but the Applications folder within my User folder is empty.The "root Applications folder" contains applications available for all user accounts to use. If you have an Applications folder in your User folder (I, for one, don't) it is for your own private applications. If you don't have any, you can delete that folder if you wish (but check there are no other files, eg support files or application "helper" folders, in there first).

  • Applications folder is empty within User folder

    Hi,
    this is probably a simple one, but I just noticed that in the root Applications folder, all my apps are there, but the Applications folder within my User folder is empty. It doesn't seem to affect my using any apps, just thought they'd also show up in my User folder.
    thanks.

  • I installed Sophos 9.2.2 on 10.6.8 and now my Applications folder appears empty.

    I installed Sophos 9.2.2 on my iMac with 10.6.8. It found "spyware" in the form of a pixel ruler app I downloaded last year (it apparently had the "cowhand-c" trojan or something like that). I let Sophos remove it and after that, my Applications folder was empty. The list of applications still appear in the Applications folder in Finder Window SIDEBAR but not in the Applications folder itself. The status bar says "0 items." After using the "showAllFiles" command, I now see only ".localized" The following actions have had no effect: removal of Sophos, reboots, and a permissions repair.
    As far as I can tell now, there is no impairment to the function of my iMac, but it's weird. Can this be fixed?

    Disregard. Date display in Mail is also screwed up. It's time to use that Lion license I've had for just in case.
    My Sophos Antivirus experience: very bad. A lesson has been learned: don't install what doesn't come from the App Store. This is why people say that some security software is as bad as the stuff you're trying to defend against.

  • Home Folder Applications folder is empty

    Using Finder, if I select Macintosh HD, I get the applications folder, and it lists the apps, as it should. In the Sidebar is my Home Folder, identified by my short name...when I select it, I get various folders to view....the Applications Folder is empty...nothing....but if I select Macintosh HD in the Sidebar as I mentioned above, all the apps are their...
    What does this mean? Why is the Applications folder under my shortname empty?
    Thanks.

    "Why is the Applications folder under my shortname empty?"
    Because that is where apps that you, and only you have access to. No other users will see them or be able to use them. If the folder's empty, don't worry about it.

  • Applications folder is empty--how to restore?

    For some reason, my Applications folder in the finder is empty. All the applications exist, but i have to use Find or Spotlight to get to them (except those in the dock).
    Any idea how to restore this?
    Cheers

    A couple of things:
    1. The only thing Terminal shows as hidden is the custom icon for the /Applications folder itself, which is perfectly normal and shouldn't be changed. There is no reason to run the sudo command.
    2. OS X has not used nor automatically created a .hidden file in...umm...forever. Not since Panther, although the Finder in both Tiger and Leopard will actually read a .hidden file if one exists. But unless one has been just running update since Panther, or you have created a .hidden file yourself, there won't be one.
    I suspect the poster is simply opening the wrong Applications folder, that there is an Applications folder in the home folder, and that is one being opened. To check:
    1. Type the name of a program in Spotlight in the menu bar
    2. The "Top Hit" will be the program
    3. Press and hold the Command key and click on program in the Spotlight list
    A Finder window will open with that program high-lighted. You should see all the other programs as well, and you should be in the proper Applications folder. Change the View of the folder to Column view. In the Sidebar your startup drive should be select, in the next column the Applications folder will be selected, and in the next column all the applications will be listed, with the one you entered in Spotlight selected.

  • My applications folder is empty when I open it in finder.

    Aside from those in my dock, other applications installed in my computer can only be seen and opened using launch pad. Prior to this happening, I have just recently updated my OSX Mavericks and accidentally removed my applications folder in dock. Although I can still start apllications using launch pad, I'd like to know if and how can I make applications reappear in my applications folder. Can anyone help me, please?

    In Finder (menu bar), try going to Go -> Applications.
    Mavericks seems to have installed a secondary empty Application folder in my User directory. Maybe it's done the same thing with yours.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Applications folder is empty

    How do I fix this? I'm on Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (12C60) 2012 air, and although my main applications folder has my apps in it (Macintosh HD > Applications) and my launchpad looks fine, for some reason my user applications folder is completely empty (Macintosh HD > Users > MyName > Applications). I am the only user on this computer (other than guest account). I don't remember it being like this in previous versions of OS X. Is it meant to be empty unless I have apps installed only for myself?

  • How can I add applications not listed in the root Applications folder?

    I'm running in a non-administrative (i.e. not the first) user account, I have my own Applications folder with apps that I have downloaded and installed myself. Is it possible to add these apps to the list in Automator?

    I believe he was answering what you were implying by implying that Automator would automatically be aware of the actions once you've used the application.
    If it doesn't have any actions, then the app won't show up in Automator. If you've downloaded actions for an app separate from it, you can add the actions using an option in Automator's File menu. More about that here.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Automator/1.0/en/ensm1010.html
    Just to be clear, it shouldn't matter where the app is installed, just make sure you've used the app so the system will know about more about the app. The same thing goes for Spotlight, file types, services (application menu > Services), and so on. It shouldn't matter where the app is located, the system will discover what the app has available when you open that app.
    If you believe an app should have Automator actions, then review the website of the developer of that app for info about what the actions are and whether they made them separate from the app for some reason. Another possibility is the actions might be available only in certain versions of the app you've installed. Definitely check the the app's developer's website for info about its actions.

  • Where is Adobe Muse in my applications folder?

    Where is Adobe Muse in my applications folder? It shows as installed in my Cloud app on the desktop, but not in my Application folder. List by Date shows nothing there. Is it under another name possibly? The Uninstaller found it...somewhere. I uninstalled and downloaded it again but don't see it in the Application folder. I would like to use Muse, please.

    Re-install it from the System Restore disks that came with your computer. Select to 'Install Bundled Applications only'

    Click the Spotlight magnifying glass icon top right in your screen then type in the name of an application.
    Hopefully it will show where it is.

  • Yosemite: empty Applications folder and Dock crashes after right-click

    I upgraded my mid-2010 Macbook Pro to Yosemite, and am observing two problems: 1) my Applications folder is empty, except for the "Windows 7 Applications" subfolder related to Parallels; and 2) if I right-click on a Dock icon, the dock effectively crashes.  When I view the Activity Monitor, Dock is consuming a huge amount of system resources (typically between 100% and 200%) and loginwindow and lsregister aren't far behind (around 60% - 100%). My battery life is awful - I've been using my computer for about 30 minutes and am below 60% after starting with a full charge.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Lawenforcer, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    Test if the Finder/Desktop/Dock works right while in Safe Mode, reboot when complete, test again.
    If it works in Safe Mode but not a regular bootup, then Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Check the Other row in System Preferences.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
    /private/var/run/StartupItems

  • How do I move an App Store app to a user's application folder?

    I have set up my mom with an older Macbook Pro of mine to save her from the evils of the PC. I set up two users, one for her and one for me; hers is uber simple (big icons, only the essentials in the doc) mine is crazy complicated. We share apps, of course, which was fine until I realized she is going to want to download Mah Jongg game apps and the like from the App Store, and I would LOVE it if I didn't have to have all that cluttering up the root Applications folder.
    I already tried to move one app from root to her user's Applications folder and all that moved was an alias, the app stayed at root. So how does one move these things? Is there a way via the finder? Can I use terminal (and if so could someone spell out the command for me?)
    Thanks in advance.

    You might want to rethink moving the apps.
    First the App Store knows what's installed by looking in the Applications folder. If the app is not there but is listed as purchased it will be prompting you to download it constantly.
    Second Lion has really locked down the permissions on the Applications folder, even Admins (as you're discovered) have to jump through hoops to change stuff around. You'll need to change permissions on the folder at least to get the apps out. It will be a pain in the long run.
    Again weigh the inconvenience of having an extra few apps in the Applications folder against what I described above.
    regards

  • Strange behavior with Applications folder

    I recently installed Mavericks on my iMac, and now something is screwed up with my system.
    When I drag a new application into the closed Applications folder, for some reason the app does not immediately show up in there. I can type the first two letters of the name and it jumps to the location where it should be, but the app is not there.
    If I do a spotlight search, the app shows up in the found results. If I choose"show in enclosing folder" From the contextual menu, it opens a new window for my applications in list view (even though I already have the applications folder open) and that window shows the found application and one other application, but no others. Later, if I open up the applications folder, the newly installed application finally shows up there where it is supposed to be.
    Is this a known issue and Mavericks, or is there something wrong with my installation?

    No, it is not a Mavericks problem. Sounds more like a permissions or other problem in your Applications folder. I would suggest the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
