Why are applications not listed in System Profiler?

Hi Apple Support Community,
System Profiler -> Software -> Applications displays "No information found." instead of the expected list of 64bit / 32bit applications installed. What could cause this and how can I get System Profiler to rescan the applications installed?
Thank you,
System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Kernel Version:          Darwin 10.8.0
64-bit Kernel and Extensions:          Yes

Discussion thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11077939 suggests Applications are not displayed in System Profiler because I purposefully disabled Spotlight for performance reasons and the indexing of external drives.

CI and QE not listed on System Profiler

Hi All, I just picked up a MBP 15" 2.4Ghz, NVidia 8800M GT 256M ram, Model A1226 late 2007/early 2008. It has a few very small vertical lines down the left side. I took it to the Apple store to check the GPU out and it passed. While looking at posts here and Google, it was suggested to disable Quartz Extreme. So I looked at System Profiler and Core Image and Quartz Extreme are not even listed.

Could the previous owner have disabled them? How do I get them back?
Any help,

Just found my answer...Since ALL Intel cpu's support Quartz Extreme, it is no longer listed on a Snow Leopard Mac. The same is true for Core Image.

L3 Cache disabled, non-functional or not listed in system profiler?

I have a 15" 1 ghz powerbook G4 titanium, and for as long as I can remember, the 1 MB L3 Cache it's supposed to have is not listed in the system profiler. It fails the power-on self test in OS 9, as well as the Apple Hardware test CD. IS there any way of investigating this? The machine seems to run okay, but i'm sure it's hindering the performance of it somehow...

Hi Les,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
As far as "investigating" goes, you've done all you need to; three separate sources all indicating the same L3 failure is pretty solid evidence.
I'm sure you're correct that it affects performance; unfortunately, cache is soldered onto the logic board, so beyond replacing the logic board, there's nothing you can do. If you've lived with it this long, I'd continue to live with it and put the LB replacement money toward your next machine.

HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

Way to find transaction code - if not listed in system-- status

Hi friends
way to find transaction code - if not listed in system--> status

Hi Prasad, once you are in

go to Additional Information-> Additional Information -> Display Key -> IMG Activity
this will show you a code, in this case SIMG_CFMENUOLSDVOV7
take last four caracters, this is transaction code: VOV7.
Please reward if you find this useful.

G$ FW800 stock optical drive not seen in System Profile - is it daid?

I added a USB PCI card (2.0) to my FW and shifted some files (Migration Assistant) to my FW by Firewire from an eMac and then I wanted to run Diskwarrior to sort it all out. My CDW/DVDR wouldn't open, either with the eject key or through Toast. Not recognized in Toast. Not recognized in System Profile either. I reset the PMU (cause I can), then tried to boot the DW CD from a Firewire LaCie drive. No good. I finally got the CD to start the FW by using "alt" on startup and waiting for it to find DW but after running all the tests, my drive still seems to be dead. Any more resets or something I can try?
Also, I took the card out and tried again but no good. Are the circuits for the drive and PCI somehow related? Did I cook a controller or something?
Guys, what's the scoop? or is it poop?

Ok, that's it. I read a few posts in the "...SuperDrive won't accept my CD.." section. and it seems some people are just swapping optical drives like mad, ready to accept that the kit is crap, and "...oh, well, I sure hope this one works better...".
But one guy had the brains to have a look inside. Turns out dust had accumulated in the drive and on the connectors, and when he cleaned them, and unplugged and replugged them, it worked fine. So that's what I did. Took it out and put it back in. Amazing the stuff I cleared out! I also un- and re-plugged the power cable and the data ribbon at the mutha board and bingo!. We have disk, and I can breathe again.
Recommend to others they pretend they've bought a new drive, do a remove and reinstall and be very fastidious. You may not need a new one after all. I just love it that stuff can still be FIXED!
Thanks to Lou and all of you who share your experiences. It's like my brain is suddenly soooo huge...

Why are cookies not deleted when I close Firefox?

Hey,
My problem is that I set Tools / Options / Privacy / History to "Use custom settings for history", and then under cookies I set Keep until: to "I close Firefox".
Yet, when I close my browser and restart none of the cookies are deleted. If I save my tabs, I stay logged in on the websites that are open on the saved tabs. But even if I close the website, and then quit. And then reopen the website after launching Firefox again, I am still logged in. Whereas Firefox is set not to remember any of my usernames or passwords, so the only way this can happen is via cookies. Therefore, the cookies are not deleted. But I can also see it in the list of cookies: it's full of old stuff.
So why are cookies not deleted despite this setting?
Firefox has beeen pretty soft on privacy lately, and frankly I don't understand why. The possibility to have history older than X days automatically deleted has also been gone for a long time, and now this cookie setting doesn't work, either.

Hi madperson,
I turned this setting on a long time ago. Basically, it's one of the first things I do after installing my OS and Firefox. So there shouldn't be so many old cookies there.
But anyways, just now I deleted all the cookies manually via Tools / Options / Privacy / Show Cookies / Remove All Cookies to be sure that all the old stuff is wiped out. And yet it still doesn't work.
I logged in to my Gmail account (the Remember Me box ain't checked), closed the tab containing my Gmail account and then closed Firefox. After that I verified in the Task Manager that firefox.exe is indeed not running anymore. So Firefox definitely shut down properly. Then, I restarted Firefox and opened a tab, entered gmail.com, and I was still logged in, therefore the cookies were not deleted.
I have the 10.1.101.000 version of ZoneAlarm, which as it turns out after googling it is indeed not the latest version (it was released in March 2012). The ZoneAlarm Firefox add-on that automatically comes with the firewall is disabled in Firefox.

SATA HD not recognized in system profiler

Hi, I have just fitted a Sonnet SATA controller card along with a Seagate 500GB harddrive.
Disk Utility recognizes the disk and it mounts.
In System Profiler>PCI Cards the SATA card is recognized but not the Drive is not seen in System Profiler>S-ATA Devices.
Why is this?

Drives connected to PCI controller cards apparently don't show up in Panther's or Tiger's ASP, so that's not an actual problem. Another G4 owner who recently added a Sonnet SATA card posted the same question here.

Why are my appointments listed multiple times?

Why are my appointments listed multiple times?

I noticed this today but I didn't even use outlook. I made all appointments in EST/EDT. Currently I'm on a business trip in Poland and all the times changed 6 hours ahead (the time zone in poland)... so now while planning things back home, everything is screwed up because I thought my appointments were 6 hours later then they were...
This is a HUGE issue.... this will cause major headaches for business travelers and needs to be looked at ASAP. But I can't even find a way to file a bug report with apple and let them know. Not impressed one bit with this.

HT204411 iTunes store - I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ?

Hello, I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ? Unless I am mistaken, iTunes Switzerland is far from Swiss and does not encourage its people to watch films in the local languages of its country (at least French and Italian would be good too...). Can anyone help ? Do I have to move to Geneva to watch a non French film in French or Lugano to watch a non Italian film in Italian or simply buy a DVD to get round it?

I have the same problem. I want to watch any movies in French (in the original, or subtitled and/or dubbed). But I cannot seem to find any on iTunes. Does iTunes offer any content in other countries (I live overseas) in the languages of those countries?

In Photoshop CC 2014, why are strokes not perfect 1px strokes as they were in the previous PS version? They are thicker/blurry on some sides!

Removing an account not listed in System Preferences Accounts?

Somehow I inadvertently created a second account on my iMac that shows as an option at startup. I think I did this with the startup disc somehow. It's not listed in System Preferences>Accounts. How do I get rid of it?

I tried the terminal command first. It returned this line:
dsebableroot: Command not found.
I then tried the instructions after the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528?viewlocale=en_US
"Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
From the Go menu, choose Utilities.
Open Directory Utility.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Disable Root User from the Edit menu."
However in the Edit menu, "Disable Root User" is not an option. "Enable Root User" is.

Replaced Superdrive Not Seen in System Profiler 10.5.1

I just noticed my replaced Superdrive ( Pioneer DVR-111D [Beige Bezel] 'SuperDrive' 16X DVD w/DL + CDRW Burner) does not show in System Profiler under 10.5.1. It did after replacement after using Patch Burn under 10.4.0. Now Patch Burn says that it is unnecessary under 10.5 (Leopard). Also, there is no burn button available with iTunes (08). I don't want to waste a DVD to experiment, so does anyone happen to know anything about this (Mr Totes or any of the resident SD specialists?). Any and all comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
Thanks for posting back with your pioneering (excuse the pun) experience.
