Ran Security Update 2015-002 Version 1.0 now I cant find my apps or view files under my home folder

I just updated my system with the Security Update 2015-002 and now I cant find any of my applications that were located in my applications folders, even when I go to the folder with my name it will not show any folders. Where did all my stuff go?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

hi Jacksione,

Have a similar problem since installing the same security update, couldn't get many applications to load and those that did are extremely slow... I have had to start my iMac in 'safe mode' to get some sort of use out of my PC... Don't know how to role back this update so I think I'm stuck until the next release comes out.


Hope its soon...

Permission Issues - Troubleshooting

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

I guess i have the same problem here. I have done all i know to solve it and it's the same. I check HDD permissions, exchanged rams, test hdd, rams and processor, reset PRAM and SMC (System Management Controller) and it stays the same... I will try your suggestion Eric Root, hope it can work for me.

I had already started thinking that my logic board got broken or something burned out....
