Active app is in download folder- What to do?

While empting trash a notification that skydrive.app was running and could not be deleted. This app is a startup app. How can I gracefully get the app moved to the normal application folder?
Thanks Bob

Worked great. Drag, dropped, restart, tested perfect. Why does Apple make things so easy; this deserved at least two days of spirit killing effort.
Many, Many thanks

How do you find out what apps have been downloaded to what phone with 5 lines under one apple ID? HELP Nobody from the stores know how to do it.

How can you get a list of apps that were downloaded from each indivudal phone? The are under one Apple ID. Ex: Phone #1234 has downloaded Facebook and Twitter. Phone # 4567 downloaded Angry Birds and Temple Run. Etc. Even the people at ATT and Apple don't know how to retrieve it.

There is no such list of what is downloaded to each phone except in the backup. So if you have a recent backup of each phone you should be able to find an app that reads the backup files and would tell you what list is saved of the content on each phone.

Download folder : what is it made for ?

Hi everyone,
I noticed a large file in my "Download folder" in iTunes folder.
I suppressed it… In fact, now, I wonder if I did well ?
What is this "Download folder" for ?
Can I suppress files from it ? (to late for the one I already erased of course !).
Thank you…
PS : forgive my clumsy english : I am french.

Thank you very much for your precise answer !
A very strange affair : on my brand new Mac Book pro Retina (256 GB SSD witch is not very big indeed) I noticed an entire TV show in this folder !
I never downloaded it (I had it with Elgato Software in a Direct TV download, what so ever…). So there was no reason it was here.
It is very strange because it was located this download folder after the migration from my previous Mac (nothing was in my SSD before, so I PRESUME that the migration has put these files here.
Must be a bug, don't you think?
I deleted it to make room in my SSD, I hope I did not do a wrong stuff ! (does not seem so).
Very best regards.

I can't get in to downloads folder.

I can't get in to downloads folder and it's seem like i can't move or delete files in downloads folder what should I do?

With the Finder active, press the following key combinations, in this order:
Shift-Command-H
Command-3
Command-I
The Info window for your home folder will open. Click the lock icon to authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you should have read & write access. If not, make it so. Select "Apply to enclosed items" from the action (gear icon) menu.

Why can't I find an add-on in my downloads folder?

I just downloaded the Preloader add-on but it is not in my Downloads folder. The Adobe "My Add-ons" page says it is active and in my downloads folder but it isn't. In fact, a search of the computer can't find it anywhere. I tried to remove it but when I try to install it again, nothing happens and it says that it was "Acquired" and when I try to install it again, nothing happens.
I have downloaded and installed other add-ons without any problems. Is there a problem with the Preloader add-on?

The team, which is responsable for the AddOn site should have a very close look to that. What you tell, happens to me some time ago. In my case, the widget finally was downloaded some days later together with another widget.

How can I stop the Downloads folder from constantly reappearing?

Every time I open or restart Firefox 9, the Downloads folder in My Documents keeps recreating itself. I have downloads set to always ask me where to go, and I have absolutely no need of a special Downloads folder. How can I get FF to stop creating this folder? Annoying to have to delete it every time - and I like FF to do what I tell it to.

I had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine. What do i need to do get get this app on my system? If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

What do you do when a apps do not download and still the store charges you for the apps?

I bouth The Old Republic from the Apple store.. they charged me. but the apps didn't download.. What should I do?

Hi ..
Check your Applications folder ??
Try re downloading ... you won't be charged again.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (Security & Privacy for Lioin v10.7)

Change app download folder

i have 2 hard drives, a 60GB (Windows 7) system SSD and a 2 TB HDD. my SSD is filling up because i initially installed some programs, most notebly itunes, after building my computer not knowing how much the folder size could expand. i have been able to move all my media to the HDD and have it work with itunes fine, but whenever i update apps, it keeps downloading onto the SSD even though i have changed the place where media is downloaded in my itunes prefrences. is there a way to change where apps are downloaded too or am i stuck having to cut and past them to my HDD every time i up date my apps?

Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
From what you say it sounds like you have a split library in the old layout. This leaves the Mobile Applications folder inside the library folder on the C:\.
You can use File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and then File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files to get iTunes to store apps inside the iTunes Media folder.
In the layout above right, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. A portable library can be moved from one path to another without breaking the links between the library and the media and being self-contained is much easier to backup (You do backup, don't you?).
You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
You can connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes.
You can move the library files to a new location as long as the media stays put.
You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
In essence all you need to do to make your library portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.
If you are interested I can give specific steps for your circumstances.

I have attempted to download the free trial of Acrobat XI, the application file appears to be in the download folder however the setup progress bar was hanging so I cancelled. Now I don't know what to do, please advise

Please advise how I install the free trial of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I started the download process and can see the files in the Downloads folder however the setup screen was hanging so I cancelled. Now I don't know what to do. It goes back to the original download screen

Thanks Pat
I have now brought my daughters laptop into work as she has CS6 so I thought it would be easier to set up her laptop to the work network, set up an email account for her and attempt to email my 270 certificates that way. How wrong was I. First of all Acrobat X Pro would not open so I did a reinstall. Still wouldnt open so I had to find a patch to fix it. I can now open it. When I open Word 2013 and check the options, the PDFMaker is in the active section but when I open word the Adobe toolbar is not appearing. I've opened Acrobat X Pro and have discovered that it's missing a plugin - Convert2AdobePdf (DistillerPI.api) so I'm now in the process to find out how to install this plugin. I have seen through this site that there was a problem with Word 2013 and the Adobe Toolbar which is exactly my new problem. I have to say, after 3 days of trying to perform what you would think is a very simple function, I'm ready to just convert 270 individual pdf's and email them individually, I would have had the job done by now !

What is ft.exe doing in my downloads folder ?

I have noticed that something called 'ft.exe' is in my downloads folder with a Created and Modified date of today. The downloads icon in the dock bounced up and down a few times earlier, and though I thought it strange (as I was not downloading anything) I did not give it a second thought. But now I have looked in the folder and seen the FT.EXE file I am a bit suspsicious (especially agter googling the file and seeing it is referred to in the context if Malware.
How can I check if anything malicius has been downloaded ?
I have alwasys been undet the impression that MACS were bulettproff and there was not need for virus / Malware checkers. Is this still the right view or have the hackers turned their attention to MACS?
thanks

something 'arrived' midday as well as the earlier ft.exe
More than likely, the download was prompted by the same method the Flashback Java exploit used, which is why I had you turn off Java in the browser's preferences.
What such sites do is attack by using Java to initiate a Java applet on your computer. That in turn downloads the payload they really want to get on your system; which would probably be the cause of two separate downloads.
How secure are MACs these days -my Missing Manual book, which is a couple of years old say they are bullet proof and there is no need to run virus checkers etc.
noondaywitch pretty much already nailed it. I have never yet seen the need to install AV software on my Macs. All current Mac exploits are in one of three categories.
The older and more common type are Trojans (though there isn't even many of these). The perps try to get you to install malware on your system by making it sound like something you would want, or need. Until you initiate the installation, they can't do a thing.
The newer ones are jumping on the Flashback bandwagon and trying the Java end-around. Since Java is already running (if you have it on), they don't need to talk you into running an app, the browser will just do it.
The last and actually most prevalent is torrent downloads. That "free" copy of Photoshop you installed? There's no telling what else ended up on your system. The crooks pack these torrents with extra packages of stuff you definitely don't want on your system. Keyloggers, backdoors, etc. When you give any installer your admin password to install the software, it doesn't need to ask you again for the pieces you weren't expecting. The simple solution there of course is to never, ever download software from file sharing sites.

Mail.app prefs. fail to change location of Downloads folder.

I recently migrated my mail from Eudora to Mail.app (Mac Pro, OS 10.6.8). I usedthe Mail.app Preferences to change the location of the Downloads (i.e. attachments) folder from the default location (Users>Library>Mail Downloads) to the subfolder in the OS Downloads folder that I used in Eudora. Despite this my attachments still end up in the default location. Help please!
As an aside I would be running straight back to Eudora were it not for the death sentence pronounced by the absence of Rosetta in Lion. Here are some comments that I recently posted to the TidBits newsletter where there is an excellent article by Adam Engst on making the changeover to Mail.app:
The major surprise for me was how really crude the Mail.app experience seems after 14 years of using Eudora. The way Mail handles mailboxes has been a source of major frustration. With Eudora I found it convenient to create separate Eudora Folders for my three accounts, each accessible via an alias of the respective settings file in the dock. That way I could locate an item that I need much faster than when the mailboxes (and their subfolders) for all three accounts are crammed into a single sidebar - especially as mailbox folders enclosing subfolders will not open with a double click, precise clicking on the triangle is required. The ability to access mailboxes from the Eudora Mailbox menu - drilling down through successive subfolders, if required - is vastly superior. Similarly Mail's procedure for moving messages and/or creating rules is really primitive compared to Eudora's facility to create destination mailboxes as part of a single seamless process. Given that development of Eudora ground to a halt in 2006 one could be forgiven for expecting a lot better from Apple's in-house e-mail client in 2011.

Mike,
Where in the Sidebar to the Mail window do you see any Sent mailboxes? Is there one beneath the Inbox when viewing at home? Check and report the settings at Mail Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors, please. If you have to do this when at home, I understand. There is a way to instruct Mail to use a particular folder for a particular purpose that probably needs to be done on the home computer, but I would like to know those preference settings before proceeding with that.

My new printer is apple AirPrint compatible . All devices on on one remote. How do I print from iPad. What print app should I download. Any and all help appreciated

I do not know how to sync my iPad with my new canon airplay compatible printer. They are both on the same remote server. What app is best to download? What do I do after that?

If your printer is AirPrint compatible and you printer and iPad are on the same WiFi network, all that you have to do is to tap on the arrow icon in any app that you can print from and select Print from the window that pops up and this will pop up.
You do not need additional software.
