Safari Not Visible In Applications Folder

I've not used tax prep software on my year-old iMac G5 (OS 10.4.8) until now. I just installed Tax Cut 2006. When I tried to use Tax Cut, it couldn't find Safari (which it requires) in the Applications folder, and refused to run. When I went looking for Safari in the Applications folder, I couldn't find it listed, even though I use it all the time, and it's on my Desktop. However, when I did a search, Safari shows up as being in the Applications folder. Can anybody help?

This isn't just drag and drop, is it?
Yes, it is.
Probably when you put in on the Desktop, you moved it out of the Applications folder. To create an alias when dragging a file, hold the ⌘ and Option keys-a curvy arrow will appear under the icon.

Programs installed but not visible in application folder

I am having a strange problem. Only a few of my programs are showing up in the application folder. If I search for the programs using the finder window they are there and the path at the bottom of the finder window shows they are in applications, and can be used but they just are not visible in the application folder (root folder).
Any suggestions how I can make these programs visible.
Thanks

Try this as a start:
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Do both items. Sometimes simply setting the Finder to show invisible files then turning off the option will make those invisible applications reappear. Sometimes it doesn't work. In that case you can try the following:
1. Enable the Finder to display invisible files. Leave the Terminal active.
2. Enter the following command line in the Terminal
sudo chflags -R nohidden
Put a space after "nohidden", select all the invisible applications you could not see and drag the selection into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted for your admin password. Enter it. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN.
3. Disable the Finder's display of invisible files.

== This happened ==
Just once or twice

It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first. Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue. Thanks anyway.

Downloaded trial app does not appear in Applications folder

I downloaded the Photoshop CC trial, and my Creative Cloud app manager tells me it's updated. But, I can't find the app anywhere on my Mac OSX 10.8.5 computer - it's not in the Applications folder, which I know how to access from the Finder window. I did a search of my entire computer and there is no sign that this app exists. What am I missing?

Run the Cleaner tool and install again.

How do I uninstall software not in my applications folder? The icon won't drag and drop to trash.

I received a fitness device and downloaded the software. It didn't download to my Applications folder and I wasn't smart enought ot make sure I saved it there. Now the device doesn't work and I want to uninstall the software. I tried dragging and dropping the icon from Launchpad but that doesn't work. This lomg-time PC user turned Mac lover needs hlep!

well this is strange, but hang with me a sec. Some of these will sound obvious but i have to ask them.
1) Are you 100% sure it's not in your application folder? (I have downloaded stuff and looked for a while without seeing the app RIGHT in front of me).
2) The hard thing to believe is that it is in your launchpad but NOT in your application folder.
3) Try downloding it again....it might find the detect the old version and overwrite it. I have never downloaded an app that did not automatically download to the applications folder, but if this one did, check to see what option it gives you to dowload to by default. That way you can see maybe where it was installed to, and thus find it and delete it. then reinstall to the applications folder.
let me know

Do you have Time Machine enabled. If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder. Then restore.

Application does not appear in applications folder

On OS X Mountain Lion, there is an application (not from the Mac App Store) that does not appear in my applications folder, but it DOES appear in Launchpad and I would like to delete it. How can I remove it? Since it is not from the Mac App Store, I cannot click the "x" or drag it to the trash.

Where is the application located if not in the Applications folder? You can use Spotlight to find it. When you do just drag it to the Trash.

Photoshop CC is not in my Applications folder

I am running on mac. CC Desktop says Photoshop CC is installed. But it is not availble in Applications. The older versions of CS4 and CS5.1 are still there though.
Any help to solve this would be appreciated.
Joe

Thanks to Kulldeep and Romsinha for replying.
I have followed all the suggestions including deleting the .odb file with out success.
I used the cleanup tool and then downloaded the CC desktop which went fine as did downloading Acrobat XI Pro.
The download of Photoshop CC got to about 80% and failed - in my Applications folder there is an Adobe Photoshop CC folder with a broken app in it.
Any ideas guys?

ITunes not showing in Applications folder

Hi there,
I've just realised that iTunes has vanished from my Applications folder. I'm not sure how long it has been gone.
However, as I still have iTunes in my Dock, I can boot the app from there. The programme works fine.
Further, doing a Spotlight search or a Find on iTunes does not reveal the iTunes application anywhere on my machine.
If I right-click iTunes in the Dock and get it to 'Show in Finder', it simply opens the Applications folder but has nothing selected.
Does anyone know how to get iTunes back, or where it is hiding on my computer?
Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for your tips.
V.K, I plugged that command into Terminal and came up with this:
*drwxrwxr-x@ 3 root admin hidden 102 20 Apr 19:48 /Applications/iTunes.app*
After showing the hidden files using Király's command, iTunes appeared in the Applications folder. However, it wasn't called .iTunes. When hiding the hidden files again, it vanished once more.
What would you suggest I do next?

.app file not installing in Applications folder

Hi. I have created a package installer using Xcode's PackageMaker. I want to install a .app file into the applications folder, but when i am running installer package, it's showing that the software is installed succesfully. When i checked the applications folder, the application i m installing is not there. Can anybody help me to solve this?

I'm also having this problem with Package Maker (3.0.4, in Mac OS X 10.6) but I think I've discovered the solution.
First, when you test the installer, open the "Installer Log" window (select "Installer Log" from the Window menu, or press command+L). Then, proceed with the installation as normal, and check the Installation Log window once you reach the end of the installer. You should see a message in the logs which is something like:
Dec 16 15:48:57 yourhostname installd[16558]: correct/path/Applications/YourApp.app relocated to incorrect/path/Applications/YourApp.app
In my case the relocated path was actually build/Debug/MyApp.app inside my Xcode project directory.
The cause for this is, I think, a slightly hidden option in Package Maker. Under the Components tab in Package Maker (with your app selected in the left-hand "Contents" pane), select your app from the list of components, and click the "Relocation..." button in the bottom-right of the window.
This should open up a modal dialog with a list of options titled "Finding Component to Upgrade". The default option Package Maker seems to insert is "Combination search for <your app's identifier>". Under the configuration for this option, there is the description "Will succeed if an application is found at the specified path, by LaunchServices or by doing an exhaustive search".
From what I can tell, these options configure the installer to search the system for an existing version of the app to upgrade. If an existing version is found, the installer tries to replace it, in the location the existing app is in, rather than installing the app in the location you may have configured in Package Maker.
The search uses the application identifier string (eg "com.yourcompany.yourapp"), so it may find any version of your app just about anywhere on your system. In my case, I think, the installer is actually finding the copy of my app in my Xcode project's build directory, and trying to upgrade/replace that version.
The solution may be:
a) clean out all your build directories, and remove any other versions of the app you may have on your system, after you've built your installer with Package Maker and before you actually test the installer (you'll need a copy of your app to build the installer). If I do this with my build directories, the app is installed to the expected location.
b) change the "Relocation..." options for your components in Package Maker to not use Combination Search or Exhaustive Search. Instead use one of the other options, such as "Check Specific Path" (only upgrade existing versions if they're in an expected location like /Applications/yourapp.app). Exhaustive Search may be suitable if you include and exclude specific directories.
Read through the different options available and decide what's best for your app. You may like to use different options during development, as upgrading existing versions may be useful functionality for the end user of your app.

Applications installed correctly but not showing in applications folder Macbook 2009

I have a friends MacBook running 10.6.8 2.26Ghz Intel Core Duo 8 gig ram. I have installed UnrarX a couple of times with no errors in the installation process, however the application does not appear in the applications folder or any where else and cannot find it to open .rar files.
I fixed the issue by simply copying the UnrarX app from my MacBookPro but would like to find out what is going on. I have been told by my friend that she has had this issue before.

I'm not familiar with that application, however, taking a guess that UnrarX installs in such a way that when you right click on a file name, it's a utility that's available to use on that file, as opposed to a separately executable program.

Applescript folder not found in Applications folder

Bizarre ...
I find an AppleScript Utility.app file in /System/Library/CoreServices folder, alongside an Applescript Runner.app file. If I were to go for an individual installation of this app - I run now 10.6.5 - Pacifist would like to install it at the same path System/Library/CoreServices.
Please, what did I missed some day ?

I don't really understand the question, but note that there hasn't been an AppleScript folder in the Application folder since 10.5. You will now find the former Script Editor app in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, and it's now called AppleScript Editor. As to the rest of what was in there, see:
