Why can't I see my applications in finder after upgrading to Yosemite?

I upgraded to Yosemite and now my applications do not appear in finder. How do I fix this?

Well, first of all, Safari is located on the dock. That's how I got Safari open. Although I am a new user of Yosemite I've been using mac computers for over 7 years. So, I'm not a complete moron. Yosemite seems to be a bit inconsistent on my computers. In Finder on my mac desktop computer there is, on the left side, the heading "Devices", in which my mac and my macbook pro are listed. Here the macbook is called "Remote Disc". On the macbook the heading "Devices" is not present. Instead there is the heading "Shared". Here I can see the mac listed but, not the macbook. So, the hard drive for the macbook is not listed in Finder, on the macbook. On the macbook I did attempt to locate the applications folder under my user name, which is listed under Favorites. There I find a folder named Applications but, it appears to be empty. When I click on it nothing appears. I have discovered a work-around though. I can locate my Applications folder by clicking on the hard drive icon on the right side of the desk top of the macbook. So, since I have been able to locate the Applications folder there I have decided not to worry about trying to locate it in Finder. If I were still worried about it, would that be enough information for you? Is that precise enough? I was trying to keep it brief. I didn't want to write a novel.

  • Why can't I see the applications set in the Excell client

    I can log into the APPSET in Admin console, Also I can loginto the APPSET in MS Excel client. But I can not see the Applications in the APPSET. I have tried every trick on the book for this SAP BPC MS7 version. Any clue will be highly appreciated. Thanks

    HI,
    This section is dedicate for SAP BPC NW.It is a separate section into forum for SAP BPC M.
    Any way I still don't understand the issue:
    You said you are able to connect using webexcel. If you are able to connect with webexcel that's means you are able to see the application because otherwise you can not login.
    Also into admin console you should be able to see all the application from that appset?
    Are you saying it is one application which should be there but it is not?

  • Why can't I see my contacts in Yahoo7 after updating to the new Yahoo7? I can see them in internet explorer

    I recently updated my yahoo account to the new yahoo7. I now can't see my contacts in my yahoo7 contacts list, but if I open my yahoo7 account using internet explorer I can see them. I have tried updating to the new firefox 5, checking the page style is set to basic (it is), clearing cache, and have even tried updating plug ins.

  • HT4757 Why can't I see the thumbnails in Finder for my .RW2 Panasonic raw image files with OS 10.7.4 ??

    I cannot view my Panasonic DMC-G10 photos anymore with OS 10.7.4 eventhough the tech sheet says I can.  After being FORCED to upgrade in order to transfer certain services from MobileMe to iCloud, this is very disappointing and reminiscent of the legal anti-trust problems that Microsoft had in bundling all their MS software to their operating system.  I want to see my images as stated in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757  What can I do to see my images in Finder ???? 

    ok, have copied the photos again from the memory card and hey presto, it all works fine.  So in summary...for RW2 files from GF1 camera, I have no thumbnail images, couldn't view in Preview, and neither Quickview nor Coverview were working.  Ran the bit of code provided at "https://discussions.apple.com/message/18369759#18369759" (thanks to Snoop Dogg) and then recopied the photos onto my Mac (only required for photos copied since upgrading to Lion, everything from before the upgrade is fine anyway).
    Hope others find this helpful.

  • Why can't i email a document from pages since upgrading to yosemite

    since upgrading to yosemite i cannot email a document from pages.  the "send via email" won't highlight and nothing happens

    The Send a Copy option is only in Pages v5.5.1 on Yosemite, and is accessible from the Share toolbar item on the document window. In your case, with Pages ’09 v4.3, as I mentioned, the Menu > Share > Send via Email items are inoperable with Yosemitie.
    You workaround is to use the Menu > Share > Export > PDF… option, or the File > Export > PDF… option — and then drag/drop the PDF from disk onto your Mail message body after the content. Or, you can use the paper-clip icon in the Mail Compose toolbar to attach the PDF. The PDF will appear as a page in your email. Right-click (two-finger tap) on this image, and from the contextual menu — select icon view.
    Yes, it subverts set behavior patterns. Apple isn't concerned with end-of-life application compatibility with future OS X versions.

  • Why can't I download Adobe Flash player since I upgraded to Yosemite?..

    I have not been able to download Adobe flash player since I upgraded to Yosemite on my 13 in  MacBook Pro purchased in Early 2011 Processor 2.3 GHz i5  Please Help!!

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Why can't I get an external HDMI display after upgrading to Maverick?

    I've been hunting all over for an answer to this problem.  I upgraded to Maverick in the fall and recently discovered that I can no longer get a picture on an external TV via Thuderbolt + HDMI.  I've used new connectors and cords.  Apparently others are having similar issues after upgrading.
    I've tried the SMC reset option, but it has not rectified anything.  I've unchecked the "display as separate spaces" option.  Nothing seems to work and I've searched all over the support community for the answer, which can be extremely daunting.

    You said you have a workstation with 4 drives, not a notebook.
    And you have not reformatted in years.
    Just clone Mac OS X Lion (and Lion Recovery) to anotehr hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    Or backup and erase the DRIVE, like WDxxxxx and not your "Macintosh HD" volume and restore.
    Reformatting is a good idea when moving to a new OS and lot of changes to partition structure go on each time, sometimes even mid-stream of a version.

  • Can't open Finder after Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10

    After the Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display i can't open the Finder and it says it's not reacting. The bar on top when i'm at the Desktop is also gone.
    Can somebody help me ?

    I had this exact same issue, and I was just able to fix it (at least for now).  I'm not an expert by any means, so I can't tell you why my solution worked, but if you follow it and it helps, then great.
    First, you'll have to restart your computer and open in Safe Mode.  Restart the computer and as soon as you hear the startup noise, press and hold the Shift key.  Release it when you see the Apple icon.  It will take a little longer to start up.
    Then download and install the free software called OnyX.
    Once installed, open OnyX and click on the Verifying tab, then click on the Preferences tab. Run the Check button at the bottom.  If it tells you that you have any damaged files, double click them on the list, one at a time, and then delete those files.
    Then I clicked the Scripts tab, and Executed all three scripts.
    Finally, under the Cleaning tab, I clicked on System and executed everything except "CUPS jobs".
    I then restarted my computer like it suggested (without opening Safe Mode) and everything was back to normal!
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can I not see shared applications on iTunes on a Mac but can on Itunes under Windows

    Hello
    1. I have a Mac Laptop, a Windows 7 laptop and an IPAD Air. I have an application on the IPad that shares files.
    2. On both the Windows and Mac machines, I have the latest versions of ITunes installed.
    3. With Image and IPhoto, I can browse the Documents directory of the shared application on the IPAD.
    4. On the Windows Machine, on ITunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can see the shared application and the shared Documents directory.
    5. On my Mac Machine, on Itunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can NOT see the same shared application on the IPAD that I see on the Windows machine.
    6. In the upper right corner of Itunes on the MAC it does show "1 App" but I see no way to click on the app under ITunes and to browse the shared directory on the IPad
    Any thoughts on what I have to do to make the Shared App show up on the Mac that shows up on the Windows machine in ITunes?

  • Why can't I see my files in Finder, using Lion?

    Hi - I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and have noticed in Finder that the contents of many folders aren't visible.  This seems to be for newer files added.  For example, I copied a folder from a thumb drive, into my (username) -> (Documents) folder.  I see that folder name, but there are no files inside.  When I "Get Info" about that folder, it tells me, as expected, there are 30 items, and almost a MB of data.  Furthermore, when I back up to SuperDuper, I can actually see what I'm looking for - all files are there in that folder and for every other folder!  In addition, searching in Spotlight finds any/all of the files contained within the folder.
    My problem, again, is that no files, none, not one, are visible in various folders, yet they exist, and are retrievable, via Spotlight.
    Should I do a disk check, or other recommended procedures?
    Thanks for any help!

  • Hi, why can´t I see my transparent basic vector after saved?

    Let´s say I draw a circle with the vector tool, stroke 3, white, transparent background, all good until I save. I save as gif or png. If I upload to the website the background is not transparent. It is white. But when I bring a bitmap, edit and save as gif or png is ok. What am I doing wrong with the vector? I flattened, etc.  I´m not so bad. I was able to reproduce the animated football logo? Please help. So basic but I am stuck. Thanks

    Hi
    What color do you expect your backround color to be?
    By opening the optimize panel, you can choose  a.gif, or a .png format and add alpha transparency from the drop down menu.
    But are you sure that it is necessary to use transparency and not a simple jpg image?

  • Can't see NAS in Finder after upgrade to Yosemite

    That's it - before, in Mavericks, my NAS always was visible on the left pane in Finder.  Now, it's gone and I can't find a way to access it at all from my MacBook.

    I have a Synology NAS, and have exactly the same problem.
    At the moment, I have to use Finder's "Connect to Server" option and put in "smb://DiskStation".
    Apple needs to fix this one! There is also a thread on this in the Synology Forums:
