Utility Folder Disappeared

This morning, I discovered that the Utility Folder which contains my contacts, compass, calculator, and a few other app's has disappeared from my iPhone 4S.. I'm not sure how that happened. How do I get it back, or least get back the icons for the apps contained in the folder? As always, thanks for your help in advance.

Utilities folder disappeared

Hi all,
I was having weird trouble w/ my iBook. Worked real slow. Online stuff seemed impossible to accomplish. I decided to run Onyx for repair. I did but that had no effect. Then I decided to run the Disk Utility that comes w/ the computer. Well much to my surprise I couldn't find the Utilities folder. I did several types of searches. No joy! The folder just wasn't there. So I restored from a backup and then everything was finally working great.
What happened? How in the world could my Utilities folder disappear? This scares me.
My apologies if I put this in the wrong forum.
Thanks,
jabberwock

Just thought of something-
Would the lack of an Utilities Folder cause these probs listed above???????

Folder disappears when you try to open certain sub-folders

When double clicking certain sub-folders, the main folder disappears and returns to the desktop. I repaired permissions with Disk Utility and it had no effect. Also verified the disk and it was okay.
I also am getting an "Unable to read file" message on an Excel file that I had no problem opening a couple of months ago. Don't know if this is related or not.

Hi Daniel,
This issue is a fairly common occurrence, and reasons of the problems are variously. We can narrow the reasons down as much as possible.
Please refer to this article, I think the methods of this article are more specific.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx
And try these solutions step by step. Above all, you should
pay attention to the third solution ” Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items”, make sure you have unchecked “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items”.
If you finish all of methods from this article, the problem still exists. Checking the permissions of users.
For instance, the permission of user 1 is only read and he opens the [shared] file, the document creates a temporary file in the same directory as the original file. Thus the document gets a temporary lock file. When other users open the [shared]
file again, they get the error message “file in use”.
If you want to verify the reason of permission, checking the temporary file. This is a hidden file and it will be the same name as your document, but prefixed with a ~$ symbols.
The easiest way out is to delete the temporary file, but this not a long-term solution. Checking the permissions of users is radically.
Trying these solutions and let me know if they work. I am glad to help and forward to your reply.

Emi

Dragged folder to slideshow - folder disappeared

Hi,
yesterday i tried to drag a folder with 7 albums and drop it on an empty slideshow, because i thought i can add the pictures this way. But unfortunately i did not work and the folder disappeared from view. I got no error or anything, but i cannot find it anywhere now.
I thought i might have dropped it on the trash, but i tried it with another folder and that leeds to a confirmation dialog.
I wonder if anybody else has experienced such a strange error. It's pretty ugly, because the folder with the albums was a selection of 255 picture out of 5000 for a little slideshow for the christmas event of my choir and now it seems i have to go through it again
When i'm back home, i'm going to try a library rebuild, seems that can sometimes solve strange issues, hope it helps here as well. Any other ideas, anyone?
Best Regards,

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. My first thought was the Trash bin scenario but evidently that wasn't it. Never hear of that before.
As a precaution against losing an album for any reason in the future again just assign the √ keyword to those photos in the album. Then it's easy to get them back in a single group.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Trying to install airport 5.6 to configure old UFO airport but doesn't show up in the app utility folder. How do you configure older Airports in OS X 10.7.5??

Use the technique described in this thread: I can't install airport utility 5.6
Though it discusses Mountain Lion, you need to follow the exact same steps for OS X 10.7.5.
I no longer have any original AEBSs to test. You may need an even earlier version of AirPort Utility. If AirPort Utility 5.6 cannot configure yours, let me know and I will attempt to find the correct version for you. You will need to use the same "extraction" technique described above.
Edit: If 5.6 does not work try this one: AirPort Utility 5.5.3
Important: If you elect to drag that version to your Utilities folder, be sure to give it a unique name. I suggest "AirPort Utility 5.5.3" This is not necessary for AirPort Utility 5.6, which will retain that name on its own.

TS1440 My hard drive is not showing up in the disc utility folder

My computer froze and I had to turn it off via the power button. Upon restarting, I encountered the screen with the flashing folder with a question mark. I followed the first couple steps, as well as some steps for the gray screen to no avail. I got to the step where you inset the OS disc and start from that, but when I opened the disc utility folder, my hard drive was invisible, as if it didn't even exist. The only thing that appears is the DVD. What does this mean, and how can I make it appear?

It means the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

Utility folder icon not displaying like App folder icon?

Hi- noticed when I drag the system Utility Folder into the Finder Toolbar it does not display similar to the Applications folder - not the Sidebar, but the horizontal toolbar holding the view option buttons (as a favorite item). The Applications folder displays as the same "A"-type icon as in the Sidebar, but the Utilities folder displays as a folder, not the "X"-type icon it appears as in the sidebar. This seems nonstandard- I'd like to see what I can do about having it display in the Toolbar as it does in the Sidebar.
I know, I know, "Why?". I just need to, ok? Otherwise I won't stop thinking about it. Any ideas? Assuming this is the same case for everybody's system, not just mine. I would've posted this in the "OS X System" forum, but it's not really developer related. I'm also guessing this involves going into the icon resources, and making a change to match the resources for the Applications folder, but that's a blind guess. I did a similar change for the slider in iTunes to have it match the Quicktime slider, but not sure in this case, or where to look. Thanks!

To clarify: This is about how the Utility Folder displays in the Finder Sidebar vs. how it displays in the Finder Toolbar (both shown by selecting "Show Sidebar" and "Show Toolbar" in the Finder "View" pulldown menu.
Finder Sidebar, Finder Toolbar:
http://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleId=5920
Any folder can be dragged into either space, and without using the Customize Toolbar option. Just drag and drop the folder.
Dragging the Utility Folder into the Sidebar displays it correctly, as its specialized, unique crossed-tools icon. However, dragging the Utility Folder into the Toolbar will not, unlike all other folders assigned with those special icons.
In the Sidebar, certain folders will display as non-folder icons. For instance, under "Places" the Home Folder does not display as a mini Home Folder icon, it displays as a little "house". The Desktop Folder displays as a mini-picture of a Desktop, the Applications folder displays as an "A" made up of a crossed ruler, pencil, and brush.
This is the same for the Finder Toolbar, when you drag one of those specialized folders into the Toolbar.
So, on the left side of a Finder window, you have the Sidebar, with its specialized icons (for certain folders, not all) and along the Toolbar (across the top of a Finder window, with its typical column-view buttons) you will also see those same (or other) specialized icons. In all cases, a folder's icon will display the same in the Sidebar as it does in the Toolbar. Except for the Utilities Folder.
If it isn't already, drag your Utility Folder into the Sidebar, and then, in that same Finder Window, drag it into the toolbar. Not the bar at the top of your monitor screen, but the toolbar of that specific Finder window. You should have the exact same result. The Utility Folder will display as a specialized icon in the Sidebar, but will display as a small version of its original blue folder icon in the Toolbar.

Can't load NAS in iTunes (Sharing folder disappears).

I'm trying to use my NAS (Buffalo Terastation Live) in iTunes as a sharing folder.
Everything was working perfectly when I was using my old Linksys router. Not working when I changed over to my new AirPort Extreme Basestation.
Now, when I open iTunes, the NAS shows up in the Sharing section of the folder list. And iTune says that it is 'loading...' the NAS. But the the folder disappears after about 15 seconds.
The NAS is otherwise working well through the Basestation. Meaning, I can open folders in Finder, etc.
I'm using a MacBook Pro. When I use iTunes on a PC on our home network, the same problem happens, except that there is an error that says that there is a firewall problem and I need to open port 3689 for sharing (or some sort of error message like that).
So, I figure that this may be a port sharing problem??? I don't have the faintest idea what to do next.
Help is much appreciated.

Hi Zac,
I installed my After Effects in "E:\Adobe". so, there's a MideaCore folder in the "E" dir, the path is "E:\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS6\MediaCore\". When I said I can't load plugins in the "MediaCore" folder, I ment this folder.
I downloaded Premiere CS6 from the website yesterday and installed it in the same folder "E:\Adobe", this time, a new MediaCore folder was created in the "C" dir, the path is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS6\MediaCore". And I can load plugins in this folder.But if I uninstall Premiere, this MediaCore folder won't exists anymore.
So I guess that's problem.
About the crash, I was compiling the "Paramarama" pulgin. But after I changed the compile ouput path to a different place, then change it back, After Effects don't crash anymore.

I do not have any files in my utility folder why???

I was trying to open activity monitor and so I went to my utility folder and there are no files in this folder anymore....?
Anyone know whats the problem?
Thanks

No it will not. Always a good idea to keep a backup though
So to summarize to fix your issue
Inset the Mac OS Install DVD and shut down the computer
Turn on the Computer and hold down the C key
Select English for the main language
Continue the re-install process.
Takes about 35 minutes, it will not erase your HD and it will bring back your utilities when it is done.
Issue Resolved!

Apps in Utility folder won't open

I've got a Macbook Pro 13' Retina from medio 2014 with Yosemite installed.
I cannot open "About this Mac", but I have the latest OS version. What can I do about that?
Further, in the utility folder I cannot open my apps, such as Activity monitor, Terminal, Disk Utility, etc. See picture below.
http://postimg.org/image/bzhlcl027/
When I click on the apps it either open and close immediately, or it says that the app cannot open or it can be damaged.
I have tried to start my computer in Safe Mode, but it did not help.
What can I do?

Hi, rain4149.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first recommend processing a repair of permissions and disk.

If most of the native applications still will not launch, I would recommend processing any available updates on your iMac and test launching these applications. If the issue persists, process a reinstall of your operating system.

Applications folder disappeared

I have just uploaded to Leopard from Tiger.
On watching the tutorial on Leopard, I noticed that the applications folder was loaded from the dock.
I presumed incorrectly that to do this, I could just drag the applications folder from Macintosh HD to the dock. However when I did this, the folder disappeared in a cloud of smoke! I now cannot find it,not even in the trash can.
All the applications that I use regularly are still individually in the dock, and appear to work OK.
So if anyone out there can advise me where the folder is, I would appreciate their help. Cheers-Tony

See this thread and remember to drag the folder to the right of line in the Dock (the Trash side).

The ReFS File System Silently Deletes Folders Without Your Consent? How to Make the File or Folder Disappear with a Simple Rename Operation

While solving issues with ReFS not deleting some nested folders when I delete its parent, I've noticed that ReFS automatically
removes the folder without even asking you after you rename it by adding the exclamation mark to the beginning of its name.
For example:
In Windows Explorer press Ctrl+N to create a new folder and name it somehow, like Test
Select this folder and hit F2, then add the ! mark at the beginning renaming the folder to !Test.
Hit ENTER to change the name.
Hit F5 to refresh Windows Explorer.
Voila! The folder disappeared without your consent.
Why is that?
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Is that specific to Windows TP? Even a specific build?
I could not repro on Windows 2012 R2.
I have no unused space on my Win TP system, so could not try there.

Hi
This sounds like a job for Disk Utility ... but that's located in the Utilities folder ....
Fortunately, there's a spare copy of Disk Utility on the setup disks you should have received with your computer. You need to boot the computer from the setup disk, then find Disk Utility. Inside Disk Utility, "mount" your hard drive and run Repair Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Good luck

Utils folder in BEA WebLogic

          Folks,
          When I install weblogic in machine, it has a folder called /utils under /bea folder
          with bsu.jar,appboot.jar etc...I don't think, we are using these .jar's anywhere.
          Anyone can help me to understand the /utils folder?
          Thanks
          - Spider


I dealt with this a couple of years ago when I was using BEA Weblogic 5.1.
WLS 5.1 didn't come with native XML Parsers at the time, and the ones that
Sun produced "blew chunks."
You can download the latest xerces and xalan open source parsers and use
them in WLS 5.1. All you have to do is get the classpath correct, and that
might be a little challenging.
I don't remember how I adjusted the classpath, I think it was ok to put the
path to the XML parsers at the end ... this will be trial and error. But,
once you adjust the classpath correctly, you'll be able to have to have your
EJB's, JSP's, and Servlets utilizing XML.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm currently using BEA Weblogic 5.1. Is it possible to use XML with sucha version?
How? Do I just download the necessary APIs and put in my own applicationdirectory
to use the XML parser?
Thanks for any help.
