Re: Applications missing after update to 10.8.4

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Barry,

After the update installation completed and you logged in, did you allow time 
for Spotlight to reindex the HD?
And also run Software Update and install any updates that showed?

You could try open: 
Finder > Preferences, select the Sidebar button at the top and deselect 
'Applications' from the Show these items in the sidebar section -  then 
reselect it. 
That may help. 

If it doesn't help, open a new Finder window and go to the top level of your HD 
(Macintosh HD?) 
You should see the Applications folder there so just drag it to where it used 
to be in the sidebar.

Cheers,
Ronni

There now appears to be some further action in Finder as the “gear wheel” in 
the bottom right is spinning but only two item appear “mail”  which does not 
open and a folder labelled “utilities”.

Have you tried restarting your Mac?

Applications missing after update to 10.8.4

[Barry Sexstone]

I have just updated my iMac to 10.11.4 via the App Store.  All appeared to go 
normally until I tried to open Safari from the dock after the update when I got 
the message “Safari cannot be opened as the application may be damaged or 
incomplete”  The same problem occurs with all the other applications I have 
tried. I then tried to open applications from the finder but the applications 
do not show in the finder.
I have a couple of questions as regards this problem.
1. Has any-one any idea why this has happened?
2. Is there any way to recover the applications apart from restoring from 
backup either time machine or CCC backup?

Thanks

Barry

Re: Cloud Printing from iOS devices

Hi Peter,

I must be missing the point here… You mentioned you can print PDFs remotely, so 
why not ‘Export as PDF' a mail message you wish to print?

Happy to help   :-)

Keychain access has been covered many times on this forum, but I guess it’s one 
of these things that you don’t think about until you need it. The next best 
thing after knowing how to use it is to make sure you have it set up to sync 
with iCloud, especially if you have multiple Macs.

Re: Update

Thanks Rod

That was exactly the problem I had and the only way I got over it was with a 
full restore.
OK now but frustrating at the time.

Kind regards

 I have four computers, an iMac, a MacBook Air, an iPad mini and an 
 iPhone6.  They all share a single name, mine, and link to a common Apple 
 account.  In iCloud Safari is checked on in all four so that bookmarks are 
 all shared in common.   However, additionally, it seems that history is 
 also shared around, in what seems a somewhat random fashion, and the 
 history on a particular computer and for that user can be lost or 
 overwritten from another user.  If Safari is unchecked on all four we lose 
 synchronisation of bookmarks though history remains intact, I think!  
 How do I separate these functions.
