Hello everyone,

Not quite new here, but you were so quick and efficient in helping me that I'm back.

For some time now, on my Mac, when I click on "Utilities" and "Applications" located in Finder, both icons animate with a gray question mark and no longer open.

However, when I open Finder and click on "Applications" in the sidebar, it opens normally. Nevertheless, I had noticed, before I could no longer open Applications via its icon, that depending on whether I clicked on the Applications icon or in "Applications" in the sidebar, the content was not the same. Not at all actually!

If you have a solution....

Thank you in advance.

Have a great day.

Hello, so you right-click on the icons in question and you select "Options / Remove from Dock."

After that: you click on Finder at the bottom left

On the left, you have this small list, you right-click on Applications and select "Add to Dock," do the same with Utilities.

Once in the Dock, you right-click on Applications and under "Show as," you click on Folder & do the same for Utilities.

Hello Gab1,

Finally, hello again!

Well, here's a problem solved. Being completely unable to offer you any help with computers, I can only see one solution to thank you... I don’t know where you live, but if you ever pass through Marseille, there are tons of bars by the sea, the beer will be on me ;-)

That said, I have another problem that I will now promptly present.
