My applications folder has disappeared from finder. In turn, I have not been able to use some of my applications that aren't already in my dock if I can't find them, and I can't seem to find them by searching the name of the application in finder either, or by typing applications. I have triple checked and the preferences have applications checked to be viewed on the sidebar. Any ideas on what to do to get it back?

You can quickly reach the Applications folder by pressing Command-Shift-A.
As far as I can tell, your Applications folder has just disappeared from the Sidebar.
You can just go to Finder->Preferences->Sidebar, and check the box for Applications.
Alternatively, you can also drag the folder itself to the Sidebar.
My apps folder has vanished and I cannot access it through command+shift+A - I get an error message
It does not shows up in Finder either.
What error message exactly? Post a screenshot if possible.
can't find applications folder in finder
