Yosemite: empty Applications folder and Dock crashes after right-click

I upgraded my mid-2010 Macbook Pro to Yosemite, and am observing two problems: 1) my Applications folder is empty, except for the "Windows 7 Applications" subfolder related to Parallels; and 2) if I right-click on a Dock icon, the dock effectively crashes. When I view the Activity Monitor, Dock is consuming a huge amount of system resources (typically between 100% and 200%) and loginwindow and lsregister aren't far behind (around 60% - 100%). My battery life is awful - I've been using my computer for about 30 minutes and am below 60% after starting with a full charge.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Lawenforcer, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Test if the Finder/Desktop/Dock works right while in Safe Mode, reboot when complete, test again.
If it works in Safe Mode but not a regular bootup, then Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Check the Other row in System Preferences.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Dock crashes after right clicking on icons.

Not running parallels, 6GB RAM. Any ideas what is causing? Thanks!

You could try (temporarily) removing com.apple.dock.plist in your preferences and see what happens.
Remove it, kill the dock, and a new plist will get created. You'll loose you icon setup of course. To kill the dock, in terminal type (cut/paste):
killall -9 Dock
By the way, if you right click anywhere else does that work?

Yosemite Empty Applications folder NO Launchpad

I have had numerous problems since Yosemite install.
Most of which have either been fixed (by the community... no thanks Apple) or have work arounds.
But this is the most frustrating and still occurring.
I cannot get finder to "see" my applications folder.
This not the "missing icons" adjust the columns error, but only occurs with applications.
Now using terminal I have checked the directory and they are certainly there.
I can run applications if they are pinned to my dock... but launchpad just comes up with a Blue screen with Loading Applications... on it
This is a iMac (24-inch, Early 2009) so perhaps getting to the end of its cycle, but still a very usable computer... or was.
It does have multiple user accounts on it and I have read that this may be an issue, but have seen no fix.
I have reset all permissions.. in multiple ways.
Really looking to the community for an answer please.

The application folder on the hard drive is one that can/could be accessed by multiple user accounts.
All software you install will install in that location by default, so as to be available to all users of the computer. This is not in any way detrimental to performance so no need to worry.
Unless you have a specific need to limit other accounts access to certain programs, I would not ever bother with the user level application folder. New macs do not come with anything installed in this folder. I doubt that its contents were erased, most likely you thought you were viewing the user level application folder when in fact you were looking at the "global" one.

Well I see it got answered at the same time I was typing this response. So anyhow I am glad you got to the bottom of it.

Konqueror and Dolphin crash on right click/Properties

Its been 2 or 3 days that both Konqueror and Dolphin crash with Signal 6 (SIGABRT) when i right click anywhere in the folders and choose "Properties" or "Share".
I noticed after doing some installing/configuring of Samba. But that doesnt mean its related.
System has been updated several times in stable. x86-64.
Thats the readout:

Maybe someone can help...
I posted this question also on kdemod.ath.cx
Thx

Thx for the reply.
Im not able to be more precise than that i was trying to install samba. I touched some settings concerning networks. In the meanwhile here is the readout with debug symbols. I will post a bug if its likely to be a bug and not some misconfig i did.

Additional Info:
It does not crash when i right click/Properties in the network "tab". Only on local disks.
Is there some package i could try to reinstall? It would have to be relevant for konqueror and dolphin, since both have that issue.

Logonwindow and dock crashes after 10.6.8 update

i have to reboot many times to start my MacPro (early 2009)
how can i resolve this ?

the Dock Problem is the Paralellsprob posted hier in te community and solved

Itunes 10.1 and above crashes when right-clicking any playlist entry?

trying to access the context menu in a playlist entry will bring the beach ball for a few seconds and forces itunes to quit unexpectedly. version 10.1 and above. on several machines (G5, intel)
here is what did not help:
– reinstalling 10.5.8 combo update
– reinstalling latest security updates (up to v007)
– reinstalling itunes 10.1.1 via installer instead of sw update
– deactivating all ore some quick time plug-ins
– system boot in safe mode
– log-in from a new created user account or as root
here is what helped so far - but is not satisfying:
– fresh install of 10.5.8 with all updates on a different volume
– switchback to v10.0.1
any suggestions??
thank you!

Found out:
itunes 10.1 and above is not compatible with openmenu X, up to current version 2.05. excluding itunes in the advanced tab solves the described problem.

HT2513 I have an iCal calendar downloaded and I can't find it in any calendar listings. I've read the above article, but I can't even find my iCal window (don't know where my applications folder or dock is and a search of the iPhone turns up nothing)...

I can't find my iCal window to try to get rid of this iCal calendar I downloaded, but want to delete. I can't seem to find the applications folder or dock that I've heard the iCal window is in. A search of the iPhone won't turn either up. Can someone please help?

have you tried rebooting your computer?

Missing files, user folder, application folder and system folder

I am using a MacBook Pro 2011 model with OS X 10.9.4.
Since I bought the machine several years ago, I have had only a few small problems with it. Yesterday I wanted to reduce the size of a video, so I downloaded a video compressor/converter software, and left the computer on and the program compressing my video whilst I went off to work. When I returned home, the compressing program had a pop-up saying ''Could not complete compression, system full'' or something along those lines.... After trying to play the movie without success, I decided that I would restart my computer, as it had been on all day.
When the computer restarted, it came up with the grey loading bar, which usually comes up when I have done a software update. It disappeared quite soon and several minutes later, my user profile appeared. I logged in as normal, and then tried to open my browser. An error message popped up stating"Can't open user profile directory, because you lack sufficient privileges. You might want to contact the administrator of this machine". I then tried to open other programs and they all came up with similar messages and did not open. Skype stated "Can't create a lock file at Users/Lauren/Library...etc".
I then went to Finder to look at my applications and they were ALL GONE! Then I went to a folder I have with all my files called "My files", and although the primary folders were visible, "SCHOOL,WORK, HOLIDAYS PICS, etc", these folders were empty. I then checked my User folder, and my systems folder and these were empty too. However, the Desktop and Documents folders still contain the documents that were previously there, and my background images remained the same.
I tried to open Word, and although it is also missing from the applications folder, and it opened, also allowing me to open a document which I know is located within the 'empty' folders. I have a feeling that my documents and files are still on my computer, but I don't know how to access them!
Please if someone could shed light on the situation! All my work files and personal files are on this computer and I would be devastated to loose them!
Let me know if you need any more ino or screen shots!
Kind regards,
Lauren

OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
You need to start by doing the following:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X

I Lost My Application Folder and I Can't Get It Back With It's Previous Features

I lost my application folder!! I have tried dragging it from my hard drive but all I have left over is my skype. when i was trying to change the size of my screen's window i accidently picked up the applications folder and when i let go of my mouse it disappeared and now I cant get it back with everything in it. (front row, screen grab, etc)

First of all don't empty the Trash.
Second, it is unlikely the folder is gone, you just dragged it someplace else. Here is one easy way to find it:
Go to Spotlight and type in the name of one of the programs that you had in that folder. Click on the program when it finds it. When the program launches, click and hold its icon in the Dock until you get the pop up menu. Choose "options > show in Finder".
That will open the enclosing folder and select the program. While you are there drag the folder back to where you want it.

I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there

I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.

Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it. Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer. Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

Corrupted file in the applications folder and i cant get in

I have a half uncompress file in the applications folder and it wont let me in to that folder, not even as a root user, it just closes the folder and opens desktop instead, everything else is working fine now, i hope i just need to delete that file. (all this is happening in my imac 27" late 2011 mountain lion)
the file is a game that does work in my other machine (macbook pro early 2011 mountain lion)

Help! How do I uninstall the Nokia I-Sync app? It doesn't appear in my applications folder and I can't drag it into trash.

Thank you. Found it in the Finder but it won't let me drag it into trash because it says it's still open. But there doesn't seem to be a way to quit out of the application...

Adobe reader 10 and 11 crashes after 3-5 sec.

adobe reader 10 and 11 crashes after 3-5 sec. it newer gets fully opened, it just closes. the problem is all my pdf files on my computer. and they work fine on my other labtop. tryed to repair, remove, install many times

Can you try this next: navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader (if you have Reader XI installed), or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader (Reader XI on 64-bit Windows), and double-click on Eula.exe, then accept the license agreement.
Does that fix the problem?
