Application Moved Error (ML and Lion)

i am getting the attached error on this morning on my MacBookPro (Mountain Lion) and have gotten it before on my Mac Pro (Lion). i have had to do a fresh install of the OS and a manual migration of my data (no Library settings etc) due to slightly similar issues.
does anyone know what this errror is saying has happened?
i /did/ have an additional internal hard drive on the MAC PRO that Spotlight was indexing and which i had to take off of the Spotlight indexing functionality but this does not explain in any way (since there are no additional HD's on my macbookpro) why it just happened this morning on the macbookpro.
is this related to an issue where there may be QUESTION MARKS (instead of an app icon) in the dock in some of my other software?? i have one of these on my MBP and one on my MacPro even after the fresh install.
TIA

The Dock stores Aliases to the actual Applications. When you get a question Mark, it is caused by a Bad Link. The Application may have changed versions, moved, or been deleted. There is nothing especially magical about this. You can remove a Bad Link by dragging the link off the Dock, or add a proper link by dragging the Application Icon onto the correct area of the Dock.
OS X Mountain Lion: Customize the Dock
Apple-installed Applications need to remain in the Applications folder so that they remain protected and can be updated properly. The Installer will attempt to add links that point to the current Applications in the Applications folder, but if you have a pre-existing Bad Alias your bad Alias will not be Trashed. This may give you either the "moved..." message, or the Question Mark Icon in the Dock, or a grayed-out Icon with a "prohibited sign" if you have added things not appropriate for this version of Mac OS X.

    Notes:
    1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
    2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
    3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

  • Application Moved Error PS 4 Extended

    Hi Folks,
    I recently started to get this error message periodically, saying "application has been moved" with a button to cancel or repair. I get it both when opening up PS4 by itself or when pressing Command-E in LR. It does not happen each time and I have selected "repair" but still keep getting it.
    No, I have not moved the application from its original place since installing it.
    No, I have not deleted my .pref file and restarted, I have a ton of preferences set.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Jim

    If you move a PSD, you won't see that error. The error is referring to the application or supporting files for the application. That wouldn't include pictures.
    This can happen if you have added a subfolder in your applications for the Creative Suite, or if one of the subfolders in Photoshop was maybe inadvertently dragged into another folder, and now the file path Photoshop is looking for to open, isn't correct.
    This is where Time Machine would be a good fix. If you can go back to when the error started and restore Photoshop from Time Machine, it'll most likely work again.
    Otherwise, reinstalling is the best option.

  • Application moved error

    Today I was adding new icons to my applications and I think I may have accidentally moved or deleted something. Whenever I try to run photoshop, it gives me the 'application has been moved' error and gives me the option to repair it. Every time I click repair but all it does is load the software. I could always do that every time I load it but it gets annoying. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Ahhhh, now I understand. I forgot I had renamed it yesterday to just Adobe Photoshop and I guess that's what did it. I renamed it back to the full title and now it works properly! Thanks so much.

  • Application moved error and question marks for dock app icons - related?

    i am reposting this in the Mac Pro forum in addition to the Mountain Lion forum as i have been posting various issues on the mac pro here and i have gotten great help in solving them. also i am hoping to put a finishing touch on my computer setup after having done a FRESH INSTALL of the OS on both my computers with a manual migration of data (no Library items) so as to try and resolve old issues. i hope the experts on the list do not mind this posting and/or can offer advice on this specific issue.

  • Photoshop CS6 Application Moved error

    Today I have started getting an error message that Photoshop has moved. I only get this message if Photoshop is not running and I right-click on something and choose to Open With Photoshop.
    If I launch Photoshop first and then right-click open with photoshop everything is fine. If the Application really had moved then shouldn't Photoshop complain when I double click on it in the Finder or open it through spotlight?
    I have read some other threads and it seems their problem was caused by migrating Photoshop from another Mac. That is not my case. Photoshop was working fine last week. No changes over the weekend.
    Ideas?

    Sounds like you have 2 copies for some reason.
    You need to find and remove that second copy.

  • Application Moved - and it hasn't

    when I export from LR5 to edit an image in Photoshop CC, I get a box announcing:
    Application Moved
    The application has been moved, and its path has
    changed.  To update the product configuration, click
    update.
    Do Not Update               Update
    I get this message EVERY TIME (although only once per session) I invoke Photoshop from Lightroom.
    Of interest is this:  when I launched Photoshop before launching Lightroom in the hope it would pass the image to the open program, Lightroom gave the error message anyway and opened another Photoshop session.  I didn't think you could have two sessions running parallel and independantly.
    I had CS6 installed when I installed LR5.  Then I installed CC.  Some time later, I used Adobe's uninstaller to remove CS6.
    There's only a single version of Photoshop on my Mac - in Applications.
    Somewhere in the system, Lightroom is reading a parameter set that's confusing it.  That's the most likely cause to one who doesn't know the internals even though I looked through all of the user and system files that I could find that appeared to be related.
    Is there a file I can tweak or is there another way of resolving this annoyance?

    It went away in 5.5.
    I never found out the original cause (and, since it now worked, hadn’t pursued it further).

    Verifying assets to itunes... etc..
    This errors.
    I have tried so much. But I cant solve this problem. Because I cant find other icon files? on this screenshots.

    Yes I have uploaded [email protected] file.
    I have sent application loader to Apple.
    But I have taken a email.
    Improper Advertising Identifier [IDFA] Usage. Your app contains the Advertising Identifier [IDFA] API but you have not indicated its usage on the Prepare for Upload page in iTunes Connect.
    Though you are not required to fix the following issues, we wanted to make you aware of them:

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

  • TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    Is that an error 2 message?
    If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

    Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
    The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
    And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
    (If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
    And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
    (If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
    I hope it helps.
