Can't move around 3rd party apps in menu bar with Yosemite

Hi - I have a Macbook Pro with Retina and I installed a few apps - pace, shazam, knock, flux and skip tunes. I wanted to edit the order of how they are displayed in the menu bar but I can't seem to be able to move them around (holding down the command key). However, this seems to be limited to the third party apps because I can move the native icons (bluetooth, battery, wireless) around just fine. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

I did the same this week. I did a sync and now I can't access any of my apps. They appear to open then shut right back down. Have tried to resync, update and about anything else that may fix and nothing. Paying an aweful lot of money just for texting and phone usage. Anyone know how to take care of this issue? I have a 3G phone and been using it for a year without this problem

  • Can't open any 3rd party apps - they crash on startup

    I've been an iPhone owner since the first model (I have iPhone 4 now), and I've never seen anything like this.
    Last night my iPhone ran out of charge. This morning, when I plugged it in it had to charge for a few minutes before it would turn on. Once it turned on, it said "waiting for activation: this may take a while". I thought this was strange, because my phone is already activated. I'm in an area with no reception, though, so maybe that was the issue.
    Once the phone turned on, I tried to open some of my apps. But none of the 3rd party apps would open! When I tap them they appear to open but they shut down / crash right away. Strangely, however, all of the Apple apps that come with the phone will open without a problem (Maps, Mail, Safari, iCal, etc.).
    I tried a hard reset but that didn't help. I'm away from home so I can't do an erase and store, and I really need access to some of the data in those apps.
    Any ideas?

  • I can no longer install 3rd party apps to my ipod touch

    When I try to install a 3rd party app, it begins the download, the new icon appears on the screen for about 1.5 seconds, and then the icon disappears and no download occurs. This happens 100% of the time.
    My Apple ID on the iPod Touch is the same as the one for my iPhone. I can download apps for the iPhone no problem.
    This iPod is running iOS4.2.1.

    Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Removing 3rd Party Icon from Menu Bar

    Just switched from being a PC user for years to Mac.  I have a 21.5 in iMac and I thought it was  a good idea to install an anti-virus program, in this case McAfee security (Mac Trial Version).  I did not like how I could not access some websites (www.cnn.com, www.yahoo.com, etc).  I tried to drag-n-drop any files using Finder with the name "McAfee" into Trash, but the old McAfee icon is still sitting on the menu bar.  To remove it, I tried the "Command key/drag off the menu bar" move, but it would not work.  I tried starting the activity monitor and I noticed a file called McAfee reporter.  Even forcing it to close does not work as it reappears on its own after a few seconds.  Finally, I attempted to edit the start-up menu (Apple icon--> System Preferences --> Users --> Log-In Items), but the program does not exist in that menu.  I also resorted to restarting the Mac three different times, and the dreaded icon still appears.  It's not affecting performance, but I hate clutter and I want this icon removed from my menu bar.  If anyone has any advice on this issue, please let me know.  I have also sent an e-mail in to McAfee, but I doubt they will be able to help unless they are proficient Mac users.

    I am not sure if this will help anybody in the future, but here is what I discovered on the McAfee community forums.  This worked for me (OS X 7.2), but bring up your Terminal window (Launchpad --> Utilities --> Terminal) and follow these directions.  The password they are referring to is the password you set up for your Mac:
    To uninstall McAfee Security:
    1. In the Terminal window, type the following
    command and press "return".
    /usr/local/McAfee/uninstallMSC
    2. When prompted, type your password and press
    "return".
    NOTE:
    No characters appear when you type your
    password.
    When the uninstallation process completes, a message
    appears in the Terminal window stating that McAfee
    Security 1.0 beta 2 version has been uninstalled
    from your computer.
    I cannot take credit for this fix, but here is where I located the information.

    If you have 3rd party apps on a phone with 1.1.4, you must have a jailbroken phone. Discussion of those is heavily frowned on here. I recommend finding a forum that supports such phones.

  • How can I forward an SMS as an email , i have doing this daily on 9900, surprised to miss this on Q10, i am ready to buy an 3rd party app also, if required, it is must for me.

    1. when i read an sms, there is option to forward as email in 9900.
    Since i am using Q10, i can not do this.
    I need this immediately.
    Anybody can help??
    I am ready to buy any 3rd party app also, if it can provide this without slowing down the performance.
    2. Further, i can not sms from contacts screen. There is no option to sms , when i select a contact. I have to go to SMS and there type contact name , how can i enable this?
    3. If i receive a call and i want to send sms to the person, i can not tap on called no and choose and option to sms him. I have to copy that number, go to SMS app and use that no to sms. If i am in a meeting , it is long process and kill focus in meeting. In android, there is one swipe to reject call and send an sms that i am in meeting. Can we achieve this basic features in Q10..

    I can forward a SMS as an email on my Q10.
    open the SMS and hold down on the text, this opens a side menu with the "share" icon on it (like a Y),
    Then you can select how you want to share, eg SMS, Email BBM etc.
    Hope this helps?

  • Can't use system ringtone in 3rd party apps since OS upgrade

    Yesterday I upgraded the OS on my BB9900 to 7.1 Bundle 2061 (v7.1.0.714 Platform 5.1.0.532). I then had to completely reconfigure BeBuzz LED customiser (v 5.0.40 for OS 7.1) for specific contacts and apps. Before upgrading I had used 3Bells as a contact-specific alert for emails and text messages in BeBuzz. But since the upgrade it won’t let me us 3Bells. If I try, the following message appears:
    “The selected ringtone 3Bells is a system protected file and cannot be accessed by 3rd party apps. Please move a copy of the file to a different folder on your phone. This applies to all ringtones that came preinstalled on this phone”.
    This is very strange, as this restriction wasn’t there before upgrading the OS. My question is, how do I locate the folder where this ringtone file is?

    +"remove the "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" file...then re-open the system preferences..."+
    And remember to either log out and back in to the account or restart the computer to force the generation of a new prefs file.

  • Can I set "open with" for files - associate file types with a 3rd party app

    I have PDF file attachments inside my OmniFocus application. When I double-tap them, they get opened in the standard Apple PDF viewer. But I have a better 3rd-party app which opens PDFs and allows me to edit them (mark them up) - I'd like the attachments to open in this app instead of the normal PDF viewer. I don't want to have to switch to the 3rd party app to open it - it's important to me that I can place comments on many, many PDFs inside of OmniFocus. So:
    1) is it possible to ask the iPad to have all PDFs to open in this 3rd party app?
    2) if not, is it possible to name the attachments some other extension (e.g., .xyz) and tell it to open all .xyz files with the 3rd-party PDF viewer?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    just out of curiosity: how did you see this without buying the app - is there some general way to get a trial from the App Store?
    When You view the features of the app in the app store, there are pictures of some of the different screens under the main description of the app. I swiped through the pictures and the fourth photo shows a screen - An image in the black box pointing to the image name - roots.jpg. In the window to the right - it says -Action - at the top - in the grey border. I wouldn't have known that the arrow didn't give the same functionality as it does when you open the PDF in Mail. But I was able to see the trash can, the curved arrow and the blue done button on the right. I never heard of the app until we started to posting. Unless the app specifies that there is a free trial period, there is no way that I know to try an app for free.
    The thing that I find odd is that you say the arrow is greyed out making that feature unavailable. That arrow icon on the iPad in Safari or Mail is what directs you to the options for - open in, print, email, etc features on the iPad. I assume that arrow must have some functionality somewhere in the app. Not sure why it is greyed out. But I stress, I know nothing about the features of the app or what it is designed to do.

  • Several 3rd party apps can't connect to internet?

    Recently, several 3rd party apps on my mbp have been unable to connect to the internet. These include but are not limited to: Dropbox, Google Drive, Skype, Transmission, Evernote, Steam, Trillian, plex, several little useful apps such as mailtab for gmail. The Mac App Store is also having issues. I can, however, use Safari to browse with no issue at all. I'm connecting via wifi, no proxies or vpns or anything like that. Can anyone help me out here?

    You don't give any examples of the apps that are not working.
    Some public WiFi networks will only have certain network ports open, like those for web and mail. If an app uses an unusual network port then it may not work on the public WiFi network.

  • How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

    First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it.  All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this?  I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
    Thanks!

    Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
    But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

  • Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

    Hi
    I hope someone can help me with this issue.
    After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
    1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
    2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
    3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
    4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
    5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
    Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
    Anybody has any solution?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Resolving how 3rd party apps show free space?

    I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and am now just learning about "Local Backups" and how they work.  This seems like a pretty neat feature and great extra data protection.  However, I now have trouble with 3rd party apps that monitor and notify about free space.  (ie iStat Menus, TechTool Pro, Disk Inventory X).  As I said, I think this new feature is great for added data protection, but it seems it has a huge flaw if it is going to make all other applications show incorrect Used/Free space.  In fact, since the Local Backup seems to use as much space as it can and will only free the space as needed, it seems every application or tool will show that the disk is always on the verge of being completely full.  Has anyone found ways around this?  Or are there any good apps that monitor and/or display free space (like iStat Menus) that can account for, or rather disregard, the space being used by Local Backup in the same way that the Finder window seems to?  I hope that in future OS updates, Apple does something about this like making the space used by Local Backup hidden in some way.

    Sorry, you didn't get my point:
    'Unintentional' means accidentally. I always wonder how people can delete files 'accidentally', requiring trashing them and then, in a second step, empty the trash.
    I do not empty my trash before having backed up, as I was pointing out. If I did, it would not be 'unintentionally'. It would be intentionally. And I should get fired. Unless I can have the backup drive there within 40 minutes.
    My point is, YOU're heading to work in the morning, not having backed up for the past 2 weeks to the external disk since your backup is always with you on your 4 months old Mac, still under warranty and unlikely to break anyway. Crossing the street from the parking lot, you need to jump to avoid some crazy driver. You make it, only your laptop slips from under your arm, drops onto the tar, and worse, before you can grab it, that bus is rolling over it. The HDD/SSD/whatever is history, and so is your work and some other important coroprate docs worth 2 weeks. Will you continue to walk into the office to resign, or will you ask the bus driver to run you over as well, please?
    My view is unchanged.
    Can we stop this here, please? My data is safe, and yours I've written off a while ago.

  • Every single 3rd party App crashes

    Hello,
    I'm running a 8gb EDGE 2.0.1 iphone. Every single 3rd party app crashes all of a sudden. I tried restore. all native apple apps load, but even when I just synce 1 3rd party app to the iphone (so all native iphone apps and 1 3rd party) that always crashes to iphone home screen.
    I need to fix this because I need to use 3rd party apps like zenbe (which was working perfectly for me a week ago)

    ok i had this same problem i called apple the guy i got new exactly what was happening and game me a work around. follow these steps exactly. this is a mac work around only dont know about windows.
    1 make sure your phone is not connected to your computer.
    2 delete every app directly from iphone by holding a app and then clicking the x
    3 go to settings general reset and choose reset all settings
    4 now on your computer open itunes on the menu bar go to store and deauthorize your computer
    5 quit itunes
    6 reopen itunes and reauthorize the computer then exit itunes
    7 open isync go to preferences and select reset sync history and exit isync
    8 open itunes and connect your iphone. it may freeze itunes for 2-10 minutes but dont exit just
    wait it will eventually recognize your iphone.
    9 after itunes recognizes your iphone go to the music tab and select a small playlist to sync then got to the app tab and choose sync selected apps and if anything is selected deselect them.
    10 if you have remote app select it if not download it for free and select it
    11 then select two other apps and click apply
    12 it will start to sync. it will say removing apps let it do this. depending on how many apps you have it could take a long time (mine took more than an hour)
    13 if you get error 0xE800002E after you are done just repeat steps 1-8 it wont take long this time
    14 if you dont get the error check to see if your remote works if it does check the other apps if they dont work repeat steps 1-8 if they do you are done just restart the iphone to make sure the still work
    15 if you got the 0xE800002E error and have repeated 1-8 sync remote and two other apps and it should work if it does not try again it worked for me the first time though.
    it is a long process but be patient and all will work out.
    that is it until apple fixes this stupid issue which should never have gotten passed testing.
    hope this helps
