Why is the "Applications" tab no longer in my Finder?

Hey so i updated my MacbookPro from its original operating system to OS X Mavericks (version 10.9.1) because there was an update available. And just today i was went to uninstall a program that had expired, and i noticed that in my Finder, the "Applications" tab was gone. Usually on the top left corner of Finder there are tabs like "AirDrop", "Documents", "Downloads" etc. And applications is no longer there.
I need to uninstall a program, and i dont know how to without going to finder, then to applications.
If anyone knows why its gone, and how else you can delete programs on a macbook please comment!
Thank You!

Open up the Finder. Click Finder next to the Apple logo and click on Preferences. Go into the Sidebar tab and make sure Applications is ticked. If it is try unticking and reticking it.

  • Why is the Application Tab so different from the rest of iTune?

    It feels like the Applications tab is not from Apple. Is it done by a outsourcing company in China? There is no consistency between this tab with the rest of iTune. Is there a design theme across all parts of iTune? Why there is no list view for the Apps?
    One thing I miss much is the ability to check off an App so that it will not sync to my iPhone. The same way that I can decide with song go to my iPod. Since the iPhone only has 144 slot for applications, it is important to have such selection ability. The other thing I miss is the rating. I'd like to rate the applications so that if I have purchased more than one version of the same kind of app, I can choose which goes to my iPhone based on my own rating. I also want to be able to sort the Apps by category in the list view. How about folders that each corresponds to one page on the iPhone? The way to reorganize the Apps icons is just a pain after you have more than a few pages.

    Hi LaiPod
    These are good suggestions, I suggest sending feedback to apple via: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • I upgraded yesterday so why is the "close tab" no longer on the File menu? How do I close one tab without exiting Firefox?

    the "close tab" option is not on the File drop-down menu today. It was before I upgraded yesterday to the new version of firefox. So how do I close one tab?

    Ctrl W did the trick and I think I should be able to remember that. Right click menu when the document or site is open on the screen doesn't work, but it does from the taskbar menu above. Either way, I know what to do now. Thank you.

  • Why do some computers running Firefox 6.02 only display 5 or 6 applications in the "applications" tab under "options" and others show about 25?

    I am running Firefox 6.0.2 on several computers and on several of them the applications tab under "options" only shows 5 or 6 applications while another shows 20-25 applications including PDF which is what I am interested in. How can I get applications to appear on this menu?
    All of the computers in questions are running Windows XP Pro. On the computer with the limited menu if I attempt to download a PDF copy of my bank statement Mozilla opens the PDF rather than opening it with my PDF program. If I attempt to save the file or print it, Mozilla crashes. On the computer which lists all of the apps on the application tab the PDF opens normally using the program which I have selected for opening that file type.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Firefox tries to open a certain filetype (.spk) as text and never adds an entry to the Applications tab in Options, so I have no way to change this behavior.

    Since it's not in the Applications tab, I can't change how Firefox handles it. And since it automatically opens it as a text file, I have no way to download this filetype when it's linked to with javascript or flash because I can't right-click and "Save Link As."
    How can I make Firefox ask me how to handle the file instead of treating it as text?
    I've already tried deleting "mimeTypes.rdf" from my Firefox profile.

    Then how do I manually tell Firefox to save text files instead of automatically displaying them?
    There's no "text/plain" type for me to edit listed on the Applications tab.
    Screenshot attached showing the page info for one of the spk files and the Applications tab with no "text" type listed.
    There's another at [http://www.tecsg.co.uk/scs/scs407.spk here]. I don't care if the web server owner has attached the wrong MIME type to a file so long as Firefox will give me a chance to tell it how I want it to be handled. If it's not a webpage (html, php, etc.) then Firefox should not try to render it by itself without asking. --- On a side note, how do I get this forum to treat my line returns like line returns rather than spaces?

  • Firefox 4 hangs when attempting to view the Applications tab in Preferences

    Firefox 4 under MacOS X 10.6.6 hangs when I click to select the "Applications" tab on the Preferences dialog. It never paints the pane. When this happens, it consumes 60% CPU. Running dtruss against the running process shows a little activity, but not much.
    I have tried deleting mimeTypes.rdf. It recreated a new, smaller one, but it made no difference to the problem. I have let Firefox continue to run for up to 10 minutes, with no change in responsiveness. I am forced to kill it every time. It is 100% reproducible on my system.

    I just discovered that if I disable the Quicktime plugin (7.6.6), this problem goes away.

  • Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

    Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

    Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

  • Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?

    Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?
    All one gets from the download drop-down menu is:
    (480p), (240p) or (360p) for example and the name of the video of course.
    The way it is now, I cannot identify the type of video I am downloading as I could before.
    Thanks!

    Ubi,
    Your assumptions are incorrect. Not all Youtube videos are offered in other formats; some are only offered in FLV format. Generally, only the very HD ones are offered in MP4. The format in which videos are offered are the decision of Youtube and/or the original poster of the video.
    I opted to not pay for the VDH converter. There are FREE converters that will convert FLV to other formats, but they do not interface with VDH. Even the VDH converter is a 2-step process (in both manual or automatic mode). The converter that is included free with VDH will put an ugly icon/watermark on your converted video--every frame of the video. To find a free converter, just Google "free flv converter" (with the quotation marks).

  • HT1368 why is the "buy all" no longer visible on my wish list? and it is not letting me delete items.?

    why is the "buy all" no longer visible on my wish list? and it is not letting me delete items.?

    The 'buy all' has, for some reason, been removed from the current version of iTunes - you can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update :http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html . Until then you can only buy items individually.
    In terms of the 'x' for deleting items from it, other people have posted about that and it's affecting me as well. I assume that there is a bug with the current version of iTunes and/or a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.

    No one here knows why Apple decided to discontinue the 17" screen.  This is a user to user community.  Click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of this website.  Write a letter to Apple & ask them.  If they respond please post it.

    I am using Portal 9.0.2.3.0 and the Application Tab does not appear anywhere. I have seen references to it in various document and I'm wondering if it is not in this version, can anyone confirm this?
    Thanks,

    Bill,
    Do you mean the Application tab in the Navigator?
    You find the objects once we had on the Application tab under the Providers tab. Applications are called Portal DB Providers now.

  • Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility???

    Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility? How do I partition a disk?

    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc One if you are trying to partition your startup drive and after the installer loads select your language then click on the Continue button. After the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are trying to partition an external drive or a non-startup drive then simply open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
