When I access the finder then open the applications folder there is nothing showing up, there was at one time but not now, is there a fix. Just installed ventura thinking that might solve it but no. Also, accessing sleep from the apple menu does not work, blacks for a second then back on.

If you go to Macintosh HD (or whatever you call the main boot disk of MacOS), and then open Applications folder in there, is there anything there? Or do you just use Applications from the left side menu in Finder? Ideally it should point to same folder, but just asking...

Yes applications are all there, just not showing up in the other place

This is just my opinion... There are 2 Applications folders. One is the shared folder directly in the Macintosh HD root, another is in usr/username subfolder. When you install applications, you are sometimes asked if you're installing for every user on the Mac (then it puts it into root, main Applications folder), or only for your user (in which case it'll put it in your personal Applications folder).

My take is that you probably have the link pointing to your personal Applications folder rather than the main one.

In Finder properties, remove Applications from the list, then add it again. That might point to the correct one. Alternatively, if you're OK to have Applications folder in the dock, drag the correct Applications folder into the dock near the Trash, and "show as icon". Clicking on it will open the correct Apps folder and you can then select the application to run. To open that folder (say to uninstall application), just click on "Open in Finder" at the bottom of that list.

Another alternative is to use launch pad, the colourful boxes icon (used to have a rocket on the icon), which shows up an iPad like interface to launch apps available in the Mac.

 

Not sure if this is of any help.

In the Finder menu bar, if you select Go > Applications

 

Do the Applications show up?

 

If you Google 'finder applications folder empty' you'll see lots of threads / advice.
