Applications folder showing apps in one but not the other

Hey everyone! I just bought a new Macbook Pro and migrated my files over. My applications folder in the HD has all my apps, but for some reason they are not showing in my User applications folder.
Originally I installed them for all users, the only user was me. What is the problem here and can I fix it?

Hi your applications are stored in the first Applications folder (Macintosh HD/Applications) so that they can be used by ALL users of your Mac. If you have any applications that you wish to restrict to only one user then you'd have to install in that user's Applications folder.
OS X is a multi-user OS which is why it is designed in this way. If your Apps were stored in Macintosh Hard Disk/Users/YourUserName/Applications only you would be able to use them. If you then added a second user (or a test user) you'd have to install the applications again for the new user to be able to use them.

  • I have 2 iPads, I can only download some apps to one device not the other one?

    I have 2 iPads, but can only download some apps to one and not the other?. How can I get the same app on both iPads?

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software

    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • Two email accounts, one password for both. will check one but not the other. Have had no problems before

    I have 2 email accounts for 2 people. TB will download mail for one but not the other. It can't authenticate the password. Passwords are both the same. Worked fine until today.

    The amount of information makes it somewhat hard to give a specific answer. I could only recommend:
    * Can you log into the account using the webmail service from your provider?
    * Have you verified the settings for the account to be correct (protocol, port number, password encoding)?

  • I have 2 iPod touchs and 1 computer. It will reconize one but not the other. How do I get it to sync music on both

    I have 2 older iPod touches and 1 computer. It will reconize one but not the other. How do I sync music on both?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT5622 How do I set icloud on 2 ipads.It recognises one,but not the other one?

    How do I set up icloud on 2 ipads? It recognises one but not the other one.

    Hi Leora Beisly,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Before setting up iCloud on your devices, I recommend updating to the latest iOS software version. This will ensure that you can use all of the iCloud features on your devices. See this article for information on updating your iPads:
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    Next, see this page for iCloud setup instructions:
    iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2609
    Before you can use iCloud on each of your devices, you need to sign in to iCloud using your existing Apple ID or a new one, then turn on the iCloud features you want to use.
    You may have set up iCloud on your iOS device or Mac when you first used it. To make sure it’s set up correctly, or to set up your iCloud account on another iOS device, computer, or Apple TV, go to the set up iCloud website listed below.
    Important: Be sure to use the same Apple ID when you set up iCloud on each device.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • 2 Apple TV's; Mirroring to one but not the other

    Help me Apple Communities you're my only hope.*
    I have 2 Apple TV's on the local network, bothe with Airplay enabled. One labelled AppleTV, the other labelled TV Upstairs.While I can happily stream music and video to both devices from iOS or the MacBook Pro, Mirroring is another matter.
    On my iPad 2 when I select Airplay to the Apple TV it comes up with the option for Mirroring. However selecting the TV Upstairs Apple TV does not provide this option, and only  sound output only, with quite a delay. The iPad 2 is iOS5, and both Apple TV's are latest stable release. The Time Capsule is upstair with the Upstairs AppleTV.
    Any ideas for this?
    * guess what I was testing video streaming with.

    I think you may be suffering from the same issue as many others in that case.
    The situation over the current update seems a little unsure at the present time.
    4.4 was released, it was then replaced by 4.4.1, which itself was removed and then made available again, it seems from the number of related post that it may have been removed again.
    Some posters are still reporting success by updating via iTunes but I can't confirm that these posts weren't simply referring to other times when the updates were available.
    I'd be inclined to sit tight and try again at a later time.

  • 2 identical iPhones-Airprint works one, but not the other?!

    My husband and I both have iPhone 4S 32GB.  We're using an HP Photosmart 6510 which is both ePrint & Airprint ready.  Here's the problem:
    I can print via ePrint or Airprint, but my husband's phone will ONLY do ePrint.  I don't get it!  We have the printer and both iPhones on the same wireless network.  He even gets a message that his print job is sending/printing, but nothing prints.  I can Airprint the same file from the same e-mail and it works fine.  HP is useless...they just keep telling me to reboot the phone and/or reboot the printer.  This fixes the problem initially, but a day or two later, the same thing happens.  it's very frustrating and I'd really like a permanent fix for this.
    Can anyone help?!  Please?!
    Thank you!!

    Thanks for the feedback.  It's worth a try.  What's making me crazy is why would one phone work and not the other?  Rhetorical question, but still making me crazy. 

  • Trying to manually sync 2 phones, songs show on one, but not the other

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my daughters cell phone to my wife's old iphone.  I successfully imaged my wifes old phone (4) to her new one (4s).  I then restored that phone to factory settings create my daughters.  I was adding music from iTunes, which I also sync to my iphone (4).  Some of the songs are showing as greyed out on her device.  They show up fine, and can be played on mine. It seems to be somewhat random - sometimes, track 01 is there and the others aren't, sometimes the whole album is not there, sometimes a single song that's on a playlist is greyed, sometimes they are there.  I did another factory reset and reinstall on her phone with the same results.
    Thanks

    hi catfish197621,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    You can try to:
    1. Download the latest updates Over The Air (OTA) to get the latest patches and bug fixes on the OS (go to settings > about tablet > check for system update).
    2. Download a camera app utility like Camera Zoom FX to see if you can zoom in and out and switch to the front facing camera.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have email on 2 pc's why is new emails showing on one but not the other

    I have one email account, but have it set up on 2 computers, new ones are coming through on one computer, not not on the other one,

    Are you using POP or IMAP?
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select the account}|Server Settings→Server Type''' will tell you.
    No menu? Press the <alt> key on your keyboard.
    If POP, you must set it to leave a copy of the messages on the server, otherwise the first computer to see them gobbles them up leaving the server empty.
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select the account}|Server Settings→Server Settings→Leave messages on server.
    If it's IMAP, then bear in mind that if you delete a message on any one computer/phone/tablet, it vanishes on the other computers/phones/tablets.

  • RAW+JPEG Pairs: How do I delete one, but not the other?

    I import RAW+JPEG. How can I ditch just the JPEG or just the RAW half of the pair? A3 seems to allow display of only one or the other by making it the Master, but how do I get rid of the non-Master?

    There's an easier way:
    Open the Aperture library contents (ctrl-click, select "show pkg contents"), and navigate to masters/year/month/day/downloads, and delete the raw file(s).
    You can view by kind, and delete all the raw files in a project this way; just make sure you haven't assigned any of the raw files as master.
    So far, I have not observed any adverse effects to the Aperture database, but they may be coming. I always archive all the files off-line before importing to Aperture, no nothing is completely irreversible.
    It would still be nice, as another poster said somewhere, to render a raw file as a new jpg master, and then delete the raw, but I use raws so rarely, that deleting the ones I don't use gives me 90% of the disk savings.

  • Two elxl ethernet cards - need to hardcode speed/duplex on one but not the other

    Hello,
    I am running Solaris 8 IA, and have two 3com Ethernet cards. One (elxl1) is a 10Base-T card that is used to connect to my cable modem, and the other (elxl0) is a 100Base-TX card that I use to connect to my internal network.
    I had been using a crossover cable to connect elxl0 to my Windows machine (my Solaris box is running ipfilter for firewalling and NAT), and it worked perfectly. I purchased a Linksys switch, and get about 90% packet loss when the two machines are connected to it.
    What I'm thinking is that I need to hardcode the speed and duplex settings of elxl0. Of course, I'd prefer to set it to 100/Full, but if I edit elxl.conf, the settings take effect for both cards, and causes elxl1 to not function, since it is not capable of running at 100/Full.
    Is there a way to tell the OS that I want to set elxl0 to 100/Full without affecting elxl1?
    A response here or via e-mail at [email protected] would be greatly appreciated.

    maybe a driver configuration bug? Does modinfo show two instances of the driver??

  • 2 Lenovo ideatab A2107A, front facing camera works on one but not the other

    i just purchased two of the same lenovo ideatab A2107A from best buy and i noticed that when trying to take a picture on one i was able to zoom in and change to the front facing camera.  The other i can get into the camera, but i cannot zoom in nor can i switch to front facing camera (the icon is not even there).  the other camera works well, zoom, video and all, the other i cannot zoom and i cannot switch, any thoughts besides factory resetting?

  • 23" works on One but not the Other

    I have a Powerbook G4 1.25 GHz running 10.3.9 connected to a similar vintage 23" clear plastic case display with a DVI to ADC adapter connection and it works great.
    My husband recently bought a used Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz running 10.4.8. We thought sure that when I was out of town with my computer he could hook up and enjoy the use of my big display, but no luck. It just gives him a blank screen.
    Any suggestions as to why that would be? Does his machine require a different adapter? Is it possible his port is just not functioning?
    Thanks!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   23 inch display

    I couldn't remember what the Display Preferences had said when we tried this last spring and again in the summer, so tonight we connected it again, and wouldn't you know - it worked just fine. We didn't do anything different, so I have no clue as to why it worked this time but not before. He's thinking about getting his own big display, but didn't want to waste his money if he couldn't get it to work, so now I guess we're shopping for another 23" display - probably a used one. Thanks!

  • Java update for one, but not the other ML installation

    I have two ML installations (one mbp, the other a mac mini). Recently with the Java scare, I disabled Java on both.
    Only the mbp offered me to update Java to the (presumably) fixed version, while on the mac-mini 'Sofwtare Update' does not
    offre me the update.
    How can I check my java install.
    Also, what is the suggested version of Java, Apple's or Oracle's?

    How can I check my java install.
    The Java preference pane, for Oracle's JRE, and Software Update for Apple's.
    Also, what is the suggested version of Java, Apple's or Oracle's?
    They do different things. Oracle's JRE is a web plugin for running applets and WebStart applications. Apple's JRE is a framework for running standalone applications.
