Copying application to the application folder

Cant drag downloades software (not from app store) into the application folder. Skype for example...
I get the small Plus sign like it wants to copy the file, but nothing happens. I can make it copy, it just gets stuck to my cursor...

Try to copy the file then paste it to the folder. Select the file then go to your edit menu click on copy, open your app folder then click edit paste.

Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.

Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

I am having the same problem I think. With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch. I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore. Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
, so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

How can I replace a damaged Image Capture in locked Lion Application folder?

I am running a MacBook Air on 10.7.2. Image Capture is "damaged or incomplete" and cannot be opened. I have a copy of IC from my other mac running Lion, but cannot copy it into the Apps folder on my MacBook Air because IC cannot be modified or deleted since it is "needed by Mac OS X." Is there an easy way to unlock the Apps folder? Thanks.

I finally figured out a way to do this. I right-clicked to show the package contents for the corrupted application. Then copied in the contents from a functioning version. Gave administrator permission to make the change. Relaunched the finder and the damaged application was back up and running and no longer greyed out.

Application Folder

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.2 & FileVault is ON
I'm having 2 application folders:
The first is Macintosh HD/Applications
The second is My Name/Applications
It is really confusing, which 1 shall i delete?

I attempted to move my apps from the 'HD/applications' to 'name/applications'. That went off without a hitch. I then thought I would see if I could copy them back to the 'HD/app' folder. When they began to copy and duplicate and take up space (not simply be another place to see icons from) I stopped the process. I then trashed the unfinished 'copied' apps in the name folder and moved the apps from the 'name/apps' back to 'HD/apps' just like when I started.
Everything worked fine. Until I checked my scheduled backups. I have two external hd's. They both hold my itunes library (my imac hd is too small to hold it). I use Silverkeeper to sync those. The scheduled back up was not listed. I reset it and re synced with no problem.
My issue is the scheduled backing up of my hard drives. I think I used 'Super Duper' (I also have CCC). Is there a way to revert to old set up and paths (like a plist somewhere)? I don't even want to begin to start messing with erasing/resetting drives and all of that.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

But the getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); is depricated API in the current version.?? No it isn't. At least it isn't marked as such [in the API|http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)]. What version are you using, cause it wasn't deprecated in the previous version (J2EE 1.4) either?
is there any other solution except this because it gives us the real path of file system on server side is there any other option, if yes, please give detailed information. can we copy file in the context folder by using URL or relative path etc.

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

I moved my iTunes to an external hard drive and now everytime I try to access it I get the error "folder iTunes is on a locked disc..."

Help. I moved my iTunes account (set up on a computer running on a school network) to an external drive, because I was out of network drive space. I changed my iTunes shortcut to point to my external drive. I am upable to pull music from a CD and copy it to the iTunes folder on the external drive. But when I try to open iTunes or use a previosuly set up device I get the following error message... "The folder iTunes is on a locked disc or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I have gone in and unchecked the read only on the folder and given my self all rights in my iTunes properties. Still I can't get in, and iTunes will only open to the folder on the external, it won't even open the iTunes page so I can see what I have. Help I need to be able to access those old files.

I thought I could just drag and drop my iTunes library to an external hard drive.
it'll work ... if done properly ☞
copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on your Mac to the external, then launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
if I already have my iTunes going to the incorrect files how is it going to find the correct files again.
you could try if this script helps:
iTunes Track CPR v1.3
This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."

How do I get reinstalled itunes to reload my music in the itunes folder on drive D?

I previously moved my itunes folder to D. I had to reinstall itunes and now I don't know how to get it to see my music and my old playlists. Thank you in advance for any help.

If depends on which method you used. If you moved your entire iTunes folder out to D: then you may need to hold down SHIFT as you start iTunes, click Choose and then browse to the folder containing the library database. If you only moved the media folder then your library will normally be in <User's Music>\iTunes.
Is this the same machine you previously used iTunes on or have have moved the drive. Uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes should have any effect on the contents of your library. Perhaps this is the advice you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

How do I move a user's sparse image BACK into the correct folder

Please help if you can!
I accidentally moved the sparse image connected to my administrator account into the 'shared' folder. (I was trying to confirm shared settings between users, and inadvertently moved the file.) There were no error messages or warnings, the file moved easily into the shared folder.
After it was moved, I was unable to login to that user's desktop, and the only explanation is "...because there was an error." The only thing I can think of is that it's because of the moved sparse image for that user.
But, I can't move it back. The computer won't allow me to move the file, and when I try to copy it to the appropriate folder I get an error message that there is not enough disk space. I tried creating a new administrator account, but that didn't work. I've tried changing the file-sharing settings, but nothing I've thought of doing has worked. I've tried turning off Fire Vault for that user, but I can't seem to do it from a different user account.
If you have any ideas of how I could log into this user account, I would be very, very grateful. It's my main desktop, and I need access to the files located there!
Please help!!

Dear jsd2 and William,
Thank you both so much for your help. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate both of you taking the time to help me figure out this problem.
William - The Library folder was basically empty. It had some Quicktime preferences in it, but nothing else. The Terminal didn't even recognize it, and I actually couldn't delete through Terminal, but simply sent it to the trash. Even so, I couldn't log in the user account.
jsd2 - I was able to log in as root and had no problems opening the sparseimage. I then copied all of the data to an external HD. Once that was finished I verified the sparseimage mounted disk, but there were no problems found. Even so, I repaired disk, but still no problems found. Even so, I couldn't log into the user account. I did get to the point where it asked for the master FireVault password (by entering the wrong password 3 or 4 times). It accepted the master password, but then it wouldn't let me change the password and login (the master password only led me to a new-password screen).
So, after verifying that ALL of my data was safely on the external HD (including music, pictures, mailboxes, files, etc...), I deleted the user account and home folder for the account I was locked out of. Then, I created a new account, and manually transfered the necessary files back into the user folder. Then, I restarted my computer and breathed a huge sigh of relief when my wallpaper came up on the screen. About 98% of my settings are in tact. All music, pictures, files, and e-mails survived. Although I have to re-ad the actual e-mail accounts, all of the other account settings are there.
I will leave the copied files on the external HD for at least a few days or a week to make sure nothing important is missing, then I will set up Time Machine and start making regular backups.
So, thank again, both of you, for your invaluable help, which led to a successful, if somewhat roundabout, solution to this problem.
Also, jsd2, I don't remember if I turned Fire Vault off when I upgraded or not. It seems to me that the directions said I should, and in which case I would have - but the upgrade wasn't recent, so I don't really remember. (Or rather - clearly I didn't, if what you say is true.) At the moment, FireVault is off for all accounts on this computer. I want to turn it back on, but, to be honest, I'm really scared to now....Since I don't know what caused the problem in the first place, I'm leery that if the problem hasn't been fixed I might end up in the same situation again. Although I hadn't had any problems before today, and I know that I must have done something in the 'sharing' settings that created the problem.

Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
Thank you!

At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

Mail remaining in the Draft-Folder after sending

When I write a mail that takes more than 10 minutes, it is automatically saved in the Draft-Folder.
Then, when it has been sent, it remains in the Draft-Folder.
If I relaunch the Mail-program, this same mail is twice present in the Draft-Folder (!!!).
This makes no sense, since the message has been sent.
Is that any new Bug with Mail and IMAP-protocol?

I have the same problem.
When I send an email
- one copy goes to the draft folder an another copy of the email goes to the sent folder.
I believe the copy in the draft folder is a ghost.
I went to my online goggle mail and saw the email was sent.

Trouble uploading photos to the Iphone from the upload folder in photos stream.

Hello,
I started to use photostream just a few days ago. I turned on in the Icoud contro panel in my pc, and I also turn it on in my Iphone 4. It works perfect when the pictures are taken with the device. I mean, i take pictures, and when Im on wifi, they go to the photostream album, and then i can find them in the "my photo stream" foder in the pc. Smooth.
But it doesent work the other way around. The pictures that I have in my coputer, when i copy them in the upload folder, they do not go to the phone. It doesent matter whats the size of the picture, they just wont go anyhere.
I trid several times. I erased all the pictures from the uplload folder, and started copying one by one, waiting several hours between pictures to see if they go to the phone, but they dont. i turned the photostream off in the device and in the pc, and turned it back on, only to see the same outcome, pictuers taken with the ophone go to the pc, bur pictures in the pc dont do to the phone.
Please, anybody can help me withg this?
My pc is running windows 7, and my phone hast the latest ios5 update (by the way, it didnt do much with the battery life)
Thanks to all.

Hi. Just to let you know your not the only one with this problem. More likely millions have the same disappointment. I have tried everything and spent about 12 hours with no luck. Hope apple sort it soon.

.xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?

Do I need to keep the events folder for my FCP X project?

I have a project and its corresponding event folder all on a large backup. However, because of the event folder, this backup is running out of space. Will I still be able to edit my Final Cut project if I get rid of the events folder? My understanding is that when I add an event (no matter where from) into my project, that clip is copied into the project folder anyway. Is this understanding correct?
Many thanks in advance.
Zach

When you import your footage, if you select the options to 'optimise' media or if you choose to copy footage to the Event Folder, of course, you are doubling up your files (or in the case of creating optimised media, the resulting ProRes 422 footage will be between five and eight times larger than the original footage in terms of HD space required).
If you co not choose to copy or optimise on import, FCP X will create tiny alias files in the Event Folder (just select one in Finder to check its size) but if the footage is highly compressed, it will be difficult to edit and play back - so you may have no choice about optimising to ProRes 422.
What footage are you using?

Is there a way to merge the bookmarks on my old pc to those on my new pc? (PS: I cannot login to old pc using old profile but can access the profiles folder.)

My user profile on my old laptop became corrupted and I cannot log into it using my regular (admin) account. I would like to add and merge the old firefox bookmarks to another laptop, which already has existing bookmarks. I cannot simply copy and paste the profile folder as this would overwrite my existing bookmarks and settings. Unfortunately I did not set up the Sync feature on that browser.

I assumed you knew, but I should specify, that you are looking for the most recent backup in your old profile's '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. The format changed recently, so the extension might be either .json or .jsonlz4 which is a compressed format so it may be much smaller than earlier backups. Firefox includes a count of the number of bookmarks in the file name (after the date).
