Can I Move Applications Within THe Apps Folder?

I want to organize my apps into folders (iLife, Multimedia, internet, etc). Can I move Safari or Quickitime into a subfolder or do they need to be where Apple put them?

As the prior poster indicated, to not move you applications.
Instead, make an alias of the application and move the alias to where you wish. I click once on the application, press command-l to make the alias, move the alias to where I wish, click on on the alias, press return key, and rename to alias to get ride of the word alias.
I have a folder called more on the dock. I put aliases of all my frequently used applications in this folder. Clicking on on the more folder in the dock brings up a big folder of all my applications.

  • Can not move ringtones to the ringtone folder!

    Sounds amazing, but after downloading a couple of ringtones from the store that show up in my purchased list, I can not move them to the ringtone folder to sync them to my iphone. If they are not in the ringtone folder, they will not go over to my phone. Dragging just doesn't work. What's with this?!?!?

    I had the same problem and have come to the conclusion after 3 hours of trying to compose a ringtone that you have to purchase the song for $.99 and then pay another $.99 for the ringtone you make from the song. There doesn't seem to be an option to make the ringtone from the song in Itune store until you purchase it and put it in your folder. THEN the option is available to edit it to a ringtone. THEN you have to buy the ringtone you just make for another $.99. Seems very strange to me. I don't think I will be using this option anymore.

  • How can I move mail from the offline folder inbox to a local folder?

    I have an IMAP account and my provider lost all but the last week of my emails. I still have them in the offline folder in Thunderbird so as long as I stay offline I can see the emails but I want to move them to local folders so I can go back online and sync the account without losing them all. How can I do this?

    Ah! You are BRILLIANT!! Thank you so very very very much. Your solution worked PERFECTLY! I now have all the messages I had lost aside from the past two months as the only computer I still had the offline messages was two month out of date BUT losing two months is far better than losing 5 years. You are my new personal HERO! Honestly, I can't thank you enough. This was nightmare and you solved it simply, beautifully, and completely.

  • How can you move screens within the workspace?

    Dragging screens around to get them out of the way only to have them go back when you release the mouse.  Not working for me, help???

    Are all the palettes locked?  There was another post along those lines earlier today.  What OS and version are you on?

  • What's the point of having an iPhone 5 if u can't download applications from the App Store that are more then 50 mb?

    There is no limit using WiFi, or download with iTunes on your computer and sync the phone via USB.

  • The new version downloads, but I never get a prompt to move the new version to the apps folder.

    The new version of firefox has several steps to complete the download. The new version does download, but I am unable to move it to the app. folder. I get no prompt and the new firefox won't move.

    Did you select custom when installing?

  • Firefox won't insall into my applications folder. Says can't install because libsmime3.dylib is in use. I am running Mac Os 10.6.7 on a Macbook Pro. I can run firefox okay from the disk image but just won't install into the apps folder.

    My system is a Macbook Pro running Mac Os 10.6.7 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram. The upgrade downloads fine, but when I try to drag the firefox image onto my appication folder, I get a dialogue box that says...Cannot install application because "libsmime3.dylib" is in use. I can run Firefox fine from the disk image.

    Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
    As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

    In Lightroom mobile how can move photos within the collection????

    What you can do is to move (or copy) a photo form one collection to another. This can be triggered via the top right app menu item from grid view. Same menu is available when you open up an image for editing. Hope that helps. -Guido

  • I tried to download a Cisco webex application.  The app did not download and I also can't open the app.  The problem is that I can't get the webex screen to close, it is stuck open and I can't get back to the app home page!

    I tried to download a Cisco website application.   The app did not download and it is stuck on the window where it has the option of open.....it will not open.  The problem is that I cannot get the window off the screen and I can't get back to the App Store home page!   Help! Thanks

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'! 

  • The screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?

    the screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?

    Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

  • If you buy functionality IAP, can you gift this (fully or partially) to others within the app ?

    hello
    I am working on an app where different users need to buy in app content.
    my question is, would it be allowed by apple that if 1 user buys lets say 100 credits worth of content that he can gift/share his 100credits to/with other existing users?
    so can all users of the app use/share the total amount of content bought via in app purchased within the app ?
    in other words, is it possible for me to buy credits which i can use in my app, to unlock functionality and then give this functionality (total or partially) to another user that has or has not purchased also ?
    thanks in advance

    I haven't had any problems with the new iMac playing videos. So far, so good.
    As for having the OS preinstalled and no discs in the box, I recently made a recovery disk, just in case I need to reinstall the OS, since there isn't an install app anywhere on the hard drive (at least that I can find). Now, in 27 years of owning Macs, I've never had to reinstall an OS (don't ask about my Windows machines, though!). But there could always be a first time, right? Best to be prepared, just in caes...
    Also, I bought my iMac at Small Dog Electronics. I'm very happy with the price I got there, but *they* are the ones who told me I could also install the OS on my MacBook Pro--at no extra cost. When I called Apple I found out differently. So I've let Small Dog know that isn't correct and that they shouldn't be telling people that. I think the reason this happened is because my local store just opened in the past few months, and the employees there aren't as saavy and well-trained as Apple Store employees. This was my first experience not buying directly from Apple, but all in all it's been a good one.
    Larry, I got the trackpad, too. After some initial hiccups getting used to it, I absolutely love it.

  • I have a iPad 1 (first one)  I downloaded some movies from iTunes and with full volume I can barely hear them, but the apps I have downloaded are much louder.  Any suggestions

    She must have signed into her own Apple ID on your iPad in order to sync her content from iTunes so try this and see if it works.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. See if your ID is showing in there and if it isn't - tap on her ID, sign out and then sign in with yours.
    You should not be syncing to to different iTunes libraries. The iPad can only sync with one iTunes library without erasing the the content on it if you decide to sync to another iTunes library.
