All my Applications magically disappeared - why

Hello

For some reason, all my apps are gone. Last night I was with my computer, I installed a new program (PHPStorm) used for awhile and just before I got a notification from the system update so I clicked on the option to install and stop and went to bed.

This morning I turned it on and I noticed that non of my icons app showed in the dock, so I restarted my computer and nothing, once again no apps, I went into the folder Applications/system and it is empty, only the messaging application and file utilities are there, after that I have restarted/rebooted several times but nothing. Interested in the thing is that I went and used the guest account and everything is there infact I created a new account and all my Applications are there and work very well.

I know that I can start with a new account, but it is would be a pain because I lost all my data applications (Quicken, Terminal Configurations etc.) and any configuration, I have by application. I have an old time Machine up (a few months).

No idea what I could do before I move on to a new account?

Thank you very much.

Use Migration Wizard and restore from Time Machine and nothing, it does not solve the problem. Any idea what could went wrong?

    When you change the name you actually have dissociated the report of your application. Our tech support should be able to resolve this issue, if you give them a call.

    All my backups recently disappeared from preferences: devices...: backup device:. (2 iPhones & iPads 2)

    On the summary page, there is no box to decide where to save a backup.  Information that used to be below the summary box and especially the bar graph showing the use of data on the device is missing.  The two checkboxes on the page are check for iPhone update and restore.

    I also lost the ability to synchronize these devices more than an iPod Classic, the sync button is grayed.

    I am positive, it is a new show, I gave my wife an iPad 2 Air for Christmas and the safeguarding of its iPad 2 to copy all of its applications and data to the new!

    After hours with Apple Support, I was told:

    "I've heard of our engineers and I have some steps for you to try.

    First of all, please reboot your Mac. In the newspapers, it seems that the Mac has not been restarted for a few days.

    Once you have restarted the Mac, we would like you to remove some pieces of software. Intego, the VMWare and Rubbernet virtualization software. Once you have all of these deleted programs, please restart your Mac again and try to connect your devices on iTunes and see how iTunes responds. »

    That has NOT fixed the problem.  I formatted my laptop, reinstalled El Capitan and migrated from my Mac Pro.  Now iTunes works OK.  Rubbernet and VMWare Fusion have been copied, but Intego has not been installed on my desktop.

    The problem I have now is that my laptop is called Craig Desktop (2) laptop instead of Craig!  Any ideas?

  • FilePicker crashes NDEF NFC push for all current application registered NDEFMessageBuilders

    Using Blackberry 7.1, in a variety of devices:

    We have an application with some screens recorded as NDEFMessageBuilder and NDEFPushStatusCallback. They correctly return the NDef message and it all works perfectly and wonderfully in all devices. Once you start using a FilePicker and navigate to any folder inside the filepicker, the application starts to be unable to pass anything througt NDEF/NFC, even the "buildNDEFMessages" is not called.

    I tried to cancel the registration and re-registration of the NDEFMessageBuilder, placing the NDEFMessageBuilder in another class or same bundle... At tried all combinations possible on register/unregister, in all moments of possible timeline at the opening of the FilePicker. But nohing help, the application cannot send NDEF/NFC after opening the filepicker and access to a folder.

    Once I Close / restart the app it sends NDef perfectly but, once you re - open the filepicker and access a folder inside the filepicker he keeps failing.

    Curiosity: After the FilePicker breaks the NFC/Ndef, it starts sending the packages throught NFC LLCP FRAME_REJECT and all other applications work fine... but whoever opened the FilePicker aren't...

    After a lot of research... it seems that the LLCP was a senior associate with two connect packets inside... one for the transfer and the other for the connection of the snep.

    Maybe opening the filepicker here where the posibility to use nfc conncetion transfer or use the registered app snep connection, that is why the blackberry device returned an aggregated setting...

    Some devices implement these packages aggregated and not others...
    obiously I don't have he put up in my library nfc...

    I will implement as soon as possible.

    Sorry for the inconvenience...

  • The error "something went wrong initialization library of creative cloud" in all office applications

    The error "something went wrong initialization library of creative cloud" in all office applications. I must have deleted the file CCLibrary 3 times and nothing.

    So I reached out using Adobe. Transferred 4 times, I'm done with that, nobody knew what to do. It is clearly a problem with the communication of the CC with the apps, and no one can figure out who can help, or what is responsible.

    It is a big reason why I do not have a subscription service, when something is wrong (and I needed this functionality), this is what is happening.

    It's terrible. More than two hours of my day for it. No thanks. I'll send my complaints to the top and be more public about Adobe helpdesk.

    Sheena,

    Suggested earlier, and I sent the contents of the current hosts at this time file here:

    ##

    # Database host

    #

    localhost # is used to configure the loopback interface

    # When the system boots.  Do not change this entry.

    ##

    127.0.0.1 obdev.at

    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

    : 1 localhost

    FE80::1% lo0 localhost

    I had no idea what to change, and no suggestion was really given what to change.

    In any case, I also had the CC on my laptop, so I checked a few apps here, and the library worked well. So, I copied the contents of laptops to my main computer host file:

    ##

    # Database host

    #

    localhost # is used to configure the loopback interface

    # When the system boots.  Do not change this entry.

    ##

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

    : 1 localhost

    .. .and now it works.

    Yes, thanks for pointing me to it, I was able to fix mine.

  • Help! Saved a Document (form to fill out) but opened later and all the information has disappeared

    Hello

    I was working on a very important document for the work last night (early this morning!) and I recorded it (I could close it and reopen it, no problem) but when I went to email to my colleague, he said all the information has disappeared. I am then went to attend the return, but all the information in my copy had also disappeared. Is anyway to fix this or recover my lost data? I use Adobe Reader XI on a PC.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi alisonl68687551,

    Please see the video at this link https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-save-form-data-in-adobe-reader to understand exactly what is happening.

    PDF forms must be Reader extended to enable the option Save PDF Forms data. This must be done by the creator of PDF form in Acrobat.

    Even you can do if you installed Acrobat applications.

    Kind regards

  • Refresh all active applications

    Hi all

    I'm kinda stuck with the following problem. I use the application scope to store a sizeable collection of labels used in our corporate Intranet. From time to time, I need to refresh this collection that I have added new labels. I've implemented a refreshing switch by writing the following code in my OnRequestStart of Applicationmethod. cfc :

    If (IsDefined ("URL.flush"))
    OnApplicationStart (flushed = true);

    To any given page I manually add URL parameters "RAS = true" and voila, refreshed.


    The problem is that different applications exist in the journal of the people on the Intranet through different names (the server name, server IP, DNS alias,...).


    I wrote the following to retrieve all active applications:

    appObj = createObject ("java", "coldfusion.runtime.ApplicationScopeTracker");
    Apps = appObj.getApplicationKeys ();
    appsList = "";
    While (apps.hasMoreElements ()) {}
    appName = apps.nextElement (m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ());
    appsList = ListAppend (appsList, appName);
    }
    appsList = listSort (appsList, "textNoCase", "asc");

    This property returns a list of all active applications. I can retrieve a specific application by calling:

    appScope = appObj.getApplicationScope (appName);

    However, I would like to call the SystemFramework of each of these fields of application...

    How can this be achieved?

    Thanks for reading so far.

    Greetings, Bert.

    do not store a variable in a data base that should be checked each time a page runs, (why anyone should request vars if this has always been done)

    URL param refreshing is acceptable using your script to list the names of the application, and then using the extract in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/537752?tstart=0

    It seems that you may have removed some system files, you shouldn't have.

    If your Mac is running v10.7 Lion or later, you can restore OS X using OS X Recovery.
