Hmmm. Do you have the patience to download and install the super patch? It may fix any erroneous errors:

Make sure you have Gatekeeper set to allow apps downloaded from anywhere as it won't recognise the super patch download otherwise. System Preferences > Security & Privacy.

If that doesn't work then I would properly uninstall and reinstall but you must make sure to get rid of all residual files the uninstaller fails to remove.

    Hey!

    Thanks for the superpatch tip, never heard of it before. Though it failed to make CC or store content appear as well.

    Next step is un- and reinstall!

    Finally got round to the complete un- and reinstall. And it did it!! =) Everything shows up where it's supposed to be! A time consuming mission, but maybe the best option to go to immediately instead of first trying everything else, as it's the only thing that seems to really work.

    Thank you for your time!!
