Where are my apps after archive & install?

I was having some problems with some apps on my iMac 400 DV such as Mail and Address Book would not run, they would immediately shut down.
I did an archive & install from Retail os 10.2 discs and now, my HP Director ALL-In-One is gone. It seems that the actual folder is still there but now the dock icon is gone and the director does not start up automatically like before.
Thanks.

I suspect the User account info is missing rather than the applications.
Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > and run the application you're missing in the Dock. Once the icon is on the right hand edge of the dock hold down the Ctrl key and click the icon. Choose "Keep In Dock".
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Choose your name on the left hand pane and then click Login Items Click on the + towards the bottom, navigate to and select the applications you wish to load automatically.
Merry Christmas

Where are my Actions after DC install?

The Acrobat DC installation has junked all my plug-ins, which is annoying but not insurmountable. I can always upgrade and re-install a plug-in.
But what has it done with my custom Actions that I created with the Action Wizard? I can't remember how I created most of them, and they've just vanished into thin air after CC installed DC. Don't tell me they're incompatible - they are Adobe Acrobat Actions!
- Alistair

Actions:
Windows Users copy the files from: "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Sequences\" to "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Sequences"
MAC Users: "/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0/Sequences/" to "/Users/labuser/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/DC/Sequences".

Missing iMovie components & Apps after Archive & Install

I recently did an archive & reinstall. Opening iMovie for the first time after it gave me the following error:
"Missing Quicktime Components: The QuickTime components necessary to view, edit, import, and export several kinds of movies are not installed. These components are included with the iMovie installer; please re-install."
iMovie still opened but I didn't want to entrust it with importing files. So I went here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imovie712.html and downloaded the latest iMovie and tried to install it. But I got this error:
"Alert: An eligible iMovie application was not found in the location /Applications."
Huh, that's weird. So I looked in my Applications folder and not only is iMovie not there, but neither is iPhoto, or iDVD!
I suppose I could bring them back with the versions in my Time Machine prior to the archive and reinstall, but would they come whole? Would it be better to reinstall these from the Installation DVD's? WHo knows what else is missing? Guess that is what I get for using the Leopard Installation DVD I got for my G5, rather than using the disks that came with this MacBook Pro.
Any advice?

"Missing Quicktime Components: The QuickTime components necessary to view, edit, import, and export several kinds of movies are not installed. These components are included with the iMovie installer; please re-install."
The modal message is telling you that some of the components used by iMovie for import/editing are missing and that the easiest way to re-install them is to re-run the iLife '08 (or more specifically the iMovie '08) installer package. For instance, Imovie '08 installs a special MPEG-2 component that converts normal MPEG-2 content from a DVD or HDD camcorder to all I-frame MPEG-2 content (the equivalent of Motion-JPEG video) which can be edited in iMovie '08. The component also allows you to view such MOV files in the QT Player others others without iLife '08 installed would not be able to view them.
iMovie still opened but I didn't want to entrust it with importing files. So I went here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imovie712.html and downloaded the latest iMovie and tried to install it. But I got this error: "Alert: An eligible iMovie application was not found in the location /Applications."
Re-install from your original installation disks. This area is for upgrading earlier versions of iMovie '08. If you are already running v7.1.4, the the software on this page will not allow you to "upgrade" your software since it is looking for specific older versions. Besides, these upgrades may assume the additional components are already install not may not even bother to check for them.
Would it be better to reinstall these from the Installation DVD's?
Yes.

Where are an apps file permissions stored?

I have a LOB app that needs to access an internal network update servers Windows Share. However for that to work, the user has to first give permission via the file picker to that folder. That is inconvenient in a LOB scenario. Therefore I would like to
know if there is a way to mark certain folders accessible for an app via Group Policy or Regsistry key? Where are the apps permissions saved (and is the format open?) and could these permissions be modified by a plain old Win32 desktop app (running on an admin
account).

Hi Phil,
The Publishing Windows Store apps forum is for help with publishing your app to the Windows Store.
For help with enterprise configuration and deployment please post in the Windows 8.1 IT Pro forums on TechNet. For help with desktop development questions please post in the Windows Desktop Development forums.
Windows Store apps use the standard Windows security system with permissions are controlled by ACLs on the file objects. Breaking the app out of its app container by granting it access to new locations is not recommended or supported and may reduce
the security of the system.
The right way for an enterprise app to break out of the app container is to write a
Brokered Windows Runtime Components for side-loaded Windows Store apps . This will allow the Windows Runtime app to call a component outside of its app container which can then call desktop API on the Runtime app's behalf.
Your app could hand the data files to the brokered Windows Runtime Component which could then drop it on the share. This wouldn't require either user interaction or reducing the security on the share.

Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

This too started to happen to me when I upgraded iOS 5 and moved to iCloud.
I have since purchased 3 apps and got the waiting que and nothing.
I noticed though that with my Mac on, I went to IPad settings/general/iTunes sync and sync now, suddenly the three apps started o download and install. Why it's doing this I'm not sure until I dig a bit deeper.

Hi, i had backed up my data and then when i restored my phone with the restore backup option, all the photos, music where there but no apps. Al my apps are disappeared. Can you please tell me where are my apps backed up?

Hi, i had backed up my data and then when i restored my phone with the restore backup option, all the photos, music where there but no apps. Al my apps are disappeared. Can you please tell me where are my apps backed up?

Apps (like other synced media like music) are not included in the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup if the apps are not in the iTunes library there are no apps to restore to the iPod.
Redownload the apps into your iTunes library.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
And then restore from backup.
Make sure that in iTunes>Preferences>Devices the box that say "Prevent iPods..." is checked otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the previous backup (with your app data) might be overwritten.

Where is mail stored after archive and install?

Hello All,
I need to know where my old mails are stored after archive and install. To give a bit of background... This is a work computer. Its a MacMini which came with 10.4 installed. Before I joined the company boss upgraded to Leopard and thats what I have been using all this time. Recently it blue screened and I had to do an archive and install after trying various other options.
I only had the original install discs with 10.4 in them and not the Leopard discs. Since I needed to my computer up and running, I used those discs and did an archive and install.
I have all my old documents, etc but I couldn't open mail from the previous systems folder because its a different OS.
Is it possible to retrieve my old emails without having to install Leopard again?
Any help is appreciated.

When I started the computer up, instead of the login page with the account names coming up, there was just a blue screen. There are lots of articles that gave suggestions to try but nothing worked so I had to archive and install.

Time Machine no longer backs up after archive & install

I have just had something mysterious happen to my Macbook - it spontaneously shut down, then wouldn't restart past a gray screen with Apple logo. After trying every troubleshooting page I could find, I ended up doing an archive and (re)install of Leopard on my hard drive. (btw, I ran the Disk Utility hard drive diagnostic, and it said the HD is fine, though I'm skeptical because it's making new noises I've never heard before.)
I finished that install, restarted, everything seemed fine, and I re-connected the external hard drive that had been used for my Time Machine backups before. Now, every time it attempts to back up, it's stuck on "preparing" for 30 minutes, then starts copying SLOWLY and the progress bar says "6 KB of 10 GB." Well, I have a lot more than 10 GB to back up. Then the process halts and I get an error message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." And I can't get any more specific information about the error - can't find a log file or anything.
I know that there's a troubleshooting article about Time Machine issues with only backing up 10 GB, but mine doesn't even get that far, and besides, this is not my first Time Machine backup - I have no other external drive big enough to transfer my older data to while I reformat this drive as the support article suggests.
I was thinking that perhaps a system setting got messed up somehow and that maybe I should just forget this archive & install thing I did and instead do a fresh erase & install on my Macbook hard drive and then restore from Time Machine's old backup (a day or so before my Macbook started acting weird). But 1. would that make a difference? And 2. if Leopard gives me an error while backing up in Time Machine, what if I do the erase & install and I get an error trying to restore from Time Machine? That would be a nightmare.
My Macbook has always been so reliable - I'm very confused about what's going on! Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm; the external drive had no errors, according to Disk Utility.
Here are the time machine logs from Console:

ITunes can't read iPod contents after Archive & Install

Hi,
I recently had to replace the hard drive in my Mac Mini, and now that it is back up and running again iTunes will no longer sync with my iPod. When I start iTunes, I get the following error message:
iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "Timothy
Macinta's iPod". Go to the Summary tab in iPod
preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to
factory settings.
I would prefer to avoid restoring the iPod so that I can retain the play counts, ratings, etc. which I have changed on my iPod over the course of the last week when my computer was under the knife. It won't be a disaster if I can't do this and end up needing to restore the iPod, but I thought I would ask in case anybody had any tips.
For what it's worth, /Applications/iTunes.app is identical to what it was before the Archive & Install. So is ~/Music/iTunes/ . Are there other files or directories where iTunes keeps track of what iPods it knows about and which I could try restoring from my backup?
Thanks,
- Tim

I figured out how to fix the problem and I figured I would post a follow up in case anybody runs into the same problem. Since I originally posted, I discovered that iTunes had additional problems. Specifically, when I tried to play songs which had been downloaded from the iTunes Store, it asked me for my iTunes account and password and entering them produced an error that was something like: "A required iTunes component is not installed. (-42401)" I downloaded the latest iTunes directly from Apple:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
and then reinstalled it. Now I can play songs from the Store again and my iPod happily syncs. I don't know why it wasn't working before given that I had updated everything on the system, including iTunes, to the latest version with Software Update.

Reset Mail & Address Book prefs back after Archive & Install

Please let me know what files I need to move around to get back my old mail files & address book. Also some of my programs won't start. They say they are missing files. What do I do?

Okay, here is the whole story with this:
I left on vacation & came back 7 days later. As I booted & began to try to download my vacation pics from my camera, it seemed really slow, so I had to force shut down. When I tried to reboot, it doesn't get past the gray screen with the apple & progress indicator. It just spins & spins but goes nowhere. I have seen where people have posted that they came back after a couple hours & their computer was working. No luck here, I left it on all day while I was at a work, & it was still stalled at the same spot when I came home. Below are the things I have tried:
1. DiskWarrior. (I can get it to boot from the CD using the C command on startup.) It ran through replacing the directory. Found a bunch of errors but fixed them. Shows the hard drive is fine. After rebooting & the computer still stalling, I tried DiskWarrior again but it showed nothing wrong.
2. Tried zapping PRAM & NVRAM. No luck.
3. Disk Utility. I ran disk utility. It found no disk errors. Tried again, still stalls.
4. Tried holding down shift key to start in safe mode, but it does nothing at all.
5. I did a search on Apple.com & found where it said to find the file BaseSystem.pkg & get it into /Library/Receipts. Replaed the file with the one from the Tiger install CD. Still stalls.
6. Decided to just go do an Archive & Install to replace the old system, but it won't let me. Says I have a newer version & have to do a clean install. This would cause me to loose a bunch of important files that I haven't backed up lately (I know! I know! I'm bad!!!). Freaked a bit.... It would take me forever to burn cds of all my files...
7. OS 9. So I thought I would try to startup in OS 9.2, & that works. So I am assuming that it is an issue with OS X Tiger.
8. I also tried to boot up without anything plugged in but the keyboard & mouse. Still stalled.
9. I also tried repairing the permissions using Disk Utility from the Tiger CD, but it gave me an error "No Valid Packages".
10. Also, I also held down Command V & this is the jabberwacky that come up:
copywright info

Kept trying and trying & got it to let me verify/repair the permissions. Then I verify/repair the disk. Everything was fine. I was able to back up all my document files in OS9. But I still had them because the I did the archive & install. But the inbox for my mail, along with my address book (& some other stuff I am sure I will miss soon) I would like to get back to normal. Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Heidi

Unstable after Archive/Install

I have been trying to diagnose a problem with iDVD and the Mac Genius at the Apple store told me to go home and do an Archive and Restore. I did so and it didn't clear up my iDVD problem and seems to have made my entire system much less stable.
Adobe Photoshop Elements is consistently crashing when I do a copy/paste of a selection and it never used to do.
Do I re-install just Photoshop or is it an OS problem? Do I need to scrub the drive and re-install everything to get clean data?
Thanks.
Matt

I removed the PSE elements folder from the applications folder, re-installed and no difference. It still crashes at the exact same place, the exact same way.
However, I noticed all my settings were still in place for the app, so it doesn't look like I uninstalled the old version all the way. Since there is no uninstall feature like with Windows and all the instruction on the Internet say to uninstall just drag the PSE folder to the trash, how do I go about totaly removing it? Where are all the other files sstored?

Issues, iphoto won't open after archive install.

Hi there, got issues here. Previously I had accidently deleted a very important file in private/var/ and had to do a archive install. The shop swapped out my original 500 GB and put in a 2 TB. Great, turned it on, everything looks good. However, couple things not going so well. My pro apps aren't working but thats in another thread and now, I went to open iphoto and it won't open, says:

No I do have a back up Its kinda long to explain but last a little over a week ago, i delete a important file in my private/var folder and screwed up my computer. Worst part was I didn't run time machine for almost a month that way all my pics that I did bring on weren't backup up. i know this sounds careless but normally does happen like this. Anyway I had to take my imac into to get it fixed and the only way to do it without losing all my data was to do an archive and install and of course my drive was full so they had to swap it out and they put in a 2 TB and ya, so now I am where I am at. Everything is here but got pro app and iphoto issues. I guess worst case scenario if something does go wrong on the install I kinda do have a back up as the old drive can be put into a enclosure and used as a HD but I guess it is a bootable drive so I don't know if it would mount properly. Thanks for you help though/ Really Appreciate it.

4S hangs updating apps after iOS6 install

I updated my 4S to iOS 6.0 this morning. Initially, it hung on restart and I was forced, after over 30 minutes with no change, to restore to factory, then restore from the backup I made prior to installing the new iOS. It restored and installed iOS 6 with no issues. Everything looked good until I attempted to install/update apps. Four of them hung at "waiting" for an hour. I updated them in iTunes and attempted to update them on the phone via a sync to no avail. I restarted my MBP and tried again. Still hung up. I finally got movement, one app at a time, by restarting the iPhone - four times over.
This afternoon, there were more apps to update. Silly me, I just asked the iPhone to do it. Again, I am hung up at "waiting." This time, nothing works. I don't even have the option, via the iPhone or iTunes, to delete and reinstall them. I've restarted everything, and am down to doing another restore if no one has any better suggestions. I just don't want to be stuck restoring every time there's a major app update until this is addressed.
I have seen "Cannot sync iPhone. unknown error 1136" a couple of times upon attempting to sync while the app updates were hung up, but a restart of iTunes 10.7 got rid of that message.
Anyone else seeing this and managed to get past it? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Barb

So, I ended up calling AppleCare. We tried a few things, but ultimately ended up doing the restore to factory defaults option as even attempting to install apps directly ftom iTunes wasn't working.
Instead of restoring to backup, we started fresh and tried to install an app. No problem. So it looked like bad info from my iPhone was causing the problem. I wasn't ready to give up and restored from my morning backup after I got off the phone.
While I sat and impatiently watched 90-some apps install during the restore-from-backup, I realized something. During that process earlier today, I hadn't liked where the iOS was putting a couple things, and the fact that it had forgotten to put in an app or two. I had rearranged the offending items and added the missing apps. Then I hit "sync." Ya, in the middle of a restore. Since the latest restore-from-backup is working fine and installing apps without an issue, that had to be the culprit.
So, if you're having problems after doing a restore-from-backup after issues installing iOS 6, ask yourself if you did ANYTHING on your phone or if you re-synced during that restore. If you did, you might seriously consider re-doing that restore.

Where are my apps after archive & install?
