Re: Applications missing after update to 10.8.4

[Ronni Brown]

Good morning Barry,

When you do decide to update to OS X 10.11.4 I recommend you download and 
install the Combo Update.
I have always used the Combo updates to update OS X on all Macs I update and 
never had any problems.

My OS X update procedure:
BACKUP  - a Bootable Backup - and Time Machine backup.
Download & update using the Combo backup.
  
File size:  1.94 GB System Requirements: OS X El Capitan 10.11

Have a good Easter, take it easy on the roads.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Applications missing after update to 10.8.4

[Barry Sexstone]

Good Morning Ronni

Having lain awake during the night thinking about the problem I thought “ what 
is the point of always backing up prior to any change if I don’t take advantage 
of it?”.  Therefore, I took th cowards way out and restored the Mac from my 
backup having first run it from the backup to check that was OK.  All now seems 
OK but, of course, I am still running 10.11.3.  I will update a t later stage 
when I have the confidence to do so after this episode.
It would have been nice to have pin pointed the cause of the problem and solved 
it that way but I only have so much patience and time at the moment.
Many thanks for your help,have a good Easter.

Regards

Thanks Ronni

I am pretty sure spotlight had sufficient time to index, probably a couple
of hours from restart after update before attempting to don anything else.
Doing anything else may have to wait until tomorrow.

It can take over an hour or more, depending on what is on the drive & its speed 
-- SSD's should take considerably less time to be indexed than mechanical 
drives, particularly large ones with a lot of document files on them. 
I reindexed the mechanical startup drive on a client's iMac some time ago to 
fix a different issue & according to system.log it took nearly two hours to 
complete.

Activity Monitor  - CPU -  mdworker will sometimes cause your Mac to be slow 
and have high CPU usage, this is totally normal. 
mdworker is basically the core technology behind Mac OS X’s awesome search 
engine Spotlight, it spiders meta data from your Mac and its files and creates 
a readable index so that you can find things practically instantaneously via 
Spotlight (command-spacebar).

Post back if Applications are still not showing in Applications and I’ll give 
you further instructions to reset the "Launch Services database”

Hi Ronni

I think there should have been enough time for spotlight but how does one tell?

I will try your suggestions regarding the finder when I get back to the iMac, 
but regardless shouldn’t applications start either from the dock or  launchpad 
even if they are not appearing  in the finder,  that is if they still exist!

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.

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”.
