Applications Problem

[Dave Felix]

When I download and open a new app, I drag the icon to the applications folder and everything works. If I go in finder view, it even shows the icon like Chrome for example. But if I click the application folder on the dock, it shows the folder with a slash going through it as if the app's icon photo is unavailable. Why is that?

Applecations Problem:

I just got my Macbook Pro and this has been happening to me too. although I have just stopped caring because after a while that "no icon" icon goes away, and it must find the other one, because the normal icon appears. Just give it a while, and kind of forget about it.

You can resolve this issue by logging out of your account and then logging back in.

To do this, click on the Apple menu, then click on "Log Out (Username)". Once you have logged out, simply log back in.
