    In Finder, please type Cmd-Shift-G, enter "/Applications" (without the "") in the dialog and press enter. Is the newly opened window still empty? If yes, open Terminal.app, type ls -l /Applications followed by Enter. Is there any result? – nohillside Feb 16 '15 at 17:47

    Sounds like you may be looking at Home/Applications instead of /Applications – Tom Gewecke Feb 16 '15 at 18:33

As stated by Tom. you may be looking in the wrong Applications folder. There are 2 - the main one is in the root directory so all users can access them: There are various ways to see root - I use shift-command-c from a finder window - you should see all your drives/network/servers etc. Click on main OS drive, probably called Macintosh HD and the main App folder will be there. You will also see the Users folder. If you delve into there, you may well see another, possibly empty Application folder. This is for Apps to be used by that user only.
