How do I find my apps on my MacBook Pro? I downloaded them, and I tried looking in LaunchPad and my dock, but do not see them.
It lets you locate a lost Mac from another device using the Find My iPhone web app on icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app on an iOS device. But you have to enable it first. Because I got my MacBook Pro back. Use this lifehack! (Update: Feb. It also lets you track your Mac directly from the mobile app and gets a snapshot of the thief via the Track My Mac app. It would have been no use for my already missing MacBook, however, it’s a useful option for you to consider. By default, all apps that you purchase from the Mac App Store and most other apps appear in the Applications folder. Gliffy for mac app development. If you used a custom installation in OS X Mavericks, then you may need to use Spotlight to find the location of the app on your computer. View All Running Apps & Processes with Activity Monitor. The most powerful app and process management utility in the OS X GUI, Activity Monitor is a powerful task manager that will reveal not only all running and active applications, but also all active and inactive processes. This includes quite literally everything running on the Mac, including the aforementioned windowed apps, and even.

- Open Finder, press Shift-Cmd-A and look for them
- Press Cmd-Spacebar to open the Spotlight search window on top right and type (part of) the name (followed by Enter if found)

The answer depends on a few variables..
Applications downloaded from the App Store on your Mac will install directly to your Applications folder. You can access your Applications folder by opening a new Finder window and locating 'Applications' on the left of this window. Alternately you can access your Applications using Launchpad, either by clicking on Launchpad (circular silver icon on your Dock), pressing F4 on your keyboard or invoking Launchpad with a 4 finger pinching gesture on your trackpad.
Applications downloaded from the internet, using a web browser such as Safari or Firefox, will go to your Downloads folder by default. You can access your Downloads folder by opening a new Finder window and locating 'Downloads' on the left of this window. Often applications will be downloaded as a Disk Image, a virtual disk of sorts. You can open the Disk Image by double clicking on it's icon. Once opened you will see it's contents, often the application and a 'read me' text. Often installation consists of dragging the application to your Applications folder. Once the application is in your Applications folder you can then drag it to the Dock in order to create a shortcut, so you don't have to navigate to Applications every time you need the application.
Alternately, you should be able to use Spotlight (the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of your screen -
command+spacebar
is it's shortcut) to search for the new app. The only time I can imagine this not working is if it's downloaded as a disk image with an abbreviated name.Hopefully that helps!

Apps do not get placed in the dock when you download them from the Mac app store. They do get placed in Launchpad - so if you don't see them (especially after searching by name), then some sort of problem or corruption has arrived on your Mac.
You also could have a problem with Spotlight and need to remedy that if searching for the app in normal spotlight (or spotlight within Launchpad) can't find an app you know you downloaded.

Depends on your computer set up.
In my case all downloads go it to the 'downloads folder'.
It should be in the Finder side bar, or as Doc icon, or just look for it.
Then and there I can decide if to install now later or newer.
