Do I need to keep mobile applications on my Mac?

I have 34 GB of mobile applications from iTunes on my Mac. They are taking up toomuch space. I am not able to use my Mac daily because it is filled up with all of these apps. Do I need to keeps these on my computer for game data? If so, how would I shrink the size of the files to not be so big?

You're correct, you don't. Just exercise sensible caution when opening or forwarding emails that contain unsolicited attachments, and don't install software of unknown or suspect provenance.

Do I need to keep my apps on my Mac in iTunes if they are now in iCloud?

Can't I throw out all those apps that are on my MacBook pro taking up hard drive space if I am now using iCloud and getting all my updates over the air to each of my IOS devices?
Is there any reason to keep them on the Mac?

Only thing i can think of is the local backup function, besides that it's just a total waste unless apple has plans to make them play on the mac... Imagine that, the so many thousands of apps available for the mac like that. What a keynote that would be "and today we are announcing hundreds and thousands of apps for the mac, instantly"

HT4718 I tried merging the empty space on my Macbook Pro Hard disk but it says that there is a problem with my disk and i need to reformat it. What should i do to keep my applications and software + files?

Hi All,
I was given a macbook pro with parallel windows, and later windows was remove but hard disk space is greyed out and could not be merge and when i run a 'verify disk' it told me to reformat my OS. The nearest service centre is real far away from me and i hope to solve this on my own. I need to keep my applications and files, how do i do so? As some of these applications was given by my company. I need help on keeping my files and reformating.
Thanks in advance.

Get an external drive and make a clone of your internal, erase the internal, set it for 1 partition (OSX Journaled) and restore the clone.

I need a remote access application

I need a remote access application for my Mac OS X 10.5.8 so that when I'm at my home office I can access my remote business office network that uses PCs. Is there an application I can download to do this? Is Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac what I need? I am not a technical person at all so I need something simple.

You didn't specify what kind access? Control and observe or just simple file sharing/access.
How do you plan on getting into your office's network? do you have a VPN setup? If not, are the correct ports open and forwarded on the main router?
Lots of unknown variables here. Without knowing what's in place it'll be hard to steer you in the right direction once you figure out what type of access you need.
If Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection is definitely what you want to use, then please post further question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

Hi CV,
Oracle Application Development Framework Mobile (ADF Mobile) browser is a standards-based framework that enables the rapid development of enterprise mobile applications. Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g release 1 of ADF Mobile browser extends Oracle ADF to browsers running on mobile devices. Because ADF Mobile browser is built upon the component model of Java Server Faces (JSF), you can quickly develop applications for mobile browsers. ADF Mobile browser's mobile-specific extensions to JSF enable you to develop mobile applications using the same methodologies for developing JSF applications for the desktop.

How do I clean up iTunes Mobile Applications folder that has old versions of apps?

I am using the latest iTunes 11.0.3 on my recently new iMac. Previously I had iTunes on my MacPro. The media folder was located on one of the extra (non-boot) volumes on the MacPro (MP). When I got my iMac I changed (in the Advanced section of Preferences) the location of the media folder to point to the same folder on the MP volume as I had been using. Everything seems to work fine. I can plug in my iPhone 4s and sync which goes thru a backup step.
I was then poking around in the iTunes media folder on the MP and found that the Mobile Applications (MA) folder was full of older versions of the apps on my iPhone. They dated back to 2009, 2010 and most were 2011. A few were 2012 or 2013. I would like to get rid of the old versions as they take up space. Being that old I doubt they are useful for anything anyway. But my question is how?
I have read and searched for other threads on this topic and have not found a solution. It appears that iTunes is supposed to toss old versions into the trash. I suspect it is doing that now but for some reason has lost track of these older version. The problem here is I don't know what happened.
My inclination is to take all these app .ipa files and dump them... then do an iPhone sync and have it repopulate this MA folder. But I wasn't sure iTunes would do that. So I selected one app that is currently installed on my iPhone, found several older .ipa files in the MA folder that correspond to that app and deleted all of them. I then sync'd my iPhone and watched it go thru the Backup step. When it was done I checked my MA folder but it still had NO .ipa file for that app. Why is that? To make sure the backup step didn't place it someone unexpected, I did a system wide search for that app name (the core part of the name, not including any version numbers, etc) but it found only one match. It was old (2011) located on an all-together different MA folder so did not come from this iPhone sync.
I wish someone would clearly document what goes on during an iPhone sync when the backup location is iTunes (not iCloud). Does iTunes store the current version of each app in the MA folder? I didn't see that happen in my example above.
What does it mean to remove all .ipa files from your MA folder? It would seem that it doesn't matter EXCEPT for apps no longer available in the App Store. Otherwise I could re-install them, right?
What can I delete safely without ill consequences?
How can i indentify what to remove if I should keep the latest version around?
Help would be appreciated.
To be clear:
* I use iTunes to store my Backups, not iCloud.
* I have used Consolidate after making sure that Keep iTunes Media Folder Organizaed is checked and Copy File to iTunes Media folder is checked. It did not help here.
* Given the dates of the .ipa files in my MA folder, this problem pre-dated my recent addition of my iMac.
* I believe I'm using a new local (to my iMac) iTunes library file but my media folder is on the MP as described above. When I access iTunes app on my MP it too accesses the same media folder. It is used primarily for adding music and movies to, not iPhone apps as I now sync on the iMac.

ITunes has been a disaster for me. It is filled with all sorts of things and there is no way to reorganize any of it. I'm forced to use iTunes because I have an iPhone but the experience has convinced me that it is best to avoid Apple products and I would recommend that course for others.
The operative word here is "avoid." For products like the iPhone and iPad for which Apple has a superior product there is no choice. The problem is Apple control. That means that everything is compatible with everything else which is good. It also means that everything is limited to products that serve Apple's bottom line, which is questionable.
Hopefully, now that Apple's creative genius has sadly left us, other companies will step forward to create products that will allow us to avoid the complications of Apple. I have found iTunes to be the principal complication. iTunes regularly updates itself, practically every Sunday, and then I have to restart my computer which interrupts all the tasks that I have underway.
Despite all these updates I don't use iTunes except for the iPhone and even that is problematic. The entire experience makes me glad that I don't have an Apple since it must be very difficult for Apple users to work with Apple constantly demanding updates and restarts and proprietary software and the like.
If you're not an Apple customer, but you've been listening their hype with their execs pacing a stage clad in jeans, then read this and heed. My experience with iTunes is a warning for all. Watch out. Apple is not your friend. It's a corporation bent on control, monopoly power and coerced profiteering. We may all soon need nets to save us when Apple drives us out the window.

How to move mobile applications, artwork, games folders?

Hi,
I added an external harddrive to my PC today due to my music harddrive (drive J:) running out of space. I moved/consolidated my music/media to the new external harddrive (drive E:) per instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364?viewlocale=en_US This seemed to work fine....all my music and movies are moved to the new external drive.
However, I noticed that my Mobile Applications, Games, and Artwork are still located on my main harddrive (drive C:), within my iTunes folder (same place as my library xml files).
I'd like to move these application folders also, since my C drive is pretty full also. I'm ok with leaving the library files and iTunes folder there, but really need to move the other stuff to the new external drive.
How can I do this?
Thanks, Mike

Answers depend on who is logged on, and their knowledge. This is basically a user chat board although a few Apple employees do drop in, sometimes.
The Mobile Apps & Artwork folders are stored wherever the ITL file is stored. If they are still going to your C: drive, then your ITL file is on the C: drive.
If you want those folders on your exHD, then move the ITL file over there while itunes is closed. Then press and hold the shift key while starting itunes and pick the ITL file that is on your exHD. iTunes will start using the new location from then on....but your old stuff will still be in the old location.
To keep things straight, after doing that, you should download a free app and make sure you know where to copy over the apps from your C: drive. You might need to tell itunes where to find your apps since you moved them around using Win Explorer.
You can do the same thing with a free single of the week, to see where the new Artwork folders should be.

PeopleSoft Mobile Applications homepage

Hi all,
I am doing some R&D on PeopleSoft Mobile Expenses, which was recently released with FSCM bundle 23.
I have installed all required patches and bundles and configured Mobile Expenses.
When you start PeopleSoft and go to Main Menu > Employee Self Service > Mobile Applications, you are presented with two icons Expenses and Approvals.
When you click on Expenses, Mobile Expenses HomePage (iScripts) starts with following url
http://<myserver>:<port></psc/mobile/EMPLOYEE/ERP/s/WEBLIB_MBL_EX.ISCRIPT1.FieldFormula.iScript_Expense_Homepage
Everything works fine here.
When I copy this url and try it from a mobile device (tried iPad & Google Nexus Phone), it start the following url and your a presented with the mobile logon screen.
http://<myserver>:<port></psc/mobile/EMPLOYEE/ERP/s/WEBLIB_MBL_EX.ISCRIPT1.FieldFormula.iScript_Expense_Homepage?cmd=login
This is still logical, since accessing iscripts needs you to logon to PeopleSoft.
However when you logon to PeopleSoft the iscript is not redirected to:
http://<myserver>:<port></psc/mobile/EMPLOYEE/ERP/s/WEBLIB_MBL_EX.ISCRIPT1.FieldFormula.iScript_Expense_Homepage
but you a presented with a black screen with the following url
http://<myserver>:<port></psc/mobile/EMPLOYEE/ERP/s/WEBLIB_MBL_EX.ISCRIPT1.FieldFormula.iScript_Expense_Homepage?cmd=login
When I remove the ?cmd=login from the url I can access Mobile Expeses from an Android device.
When running on a iPad, after logging in PeopleSoft, I can see Mobile Expenses, but the page gets display only with a popup, stating I need to add this applcation to my homepage. When you set a link to the Expenses homepage url on your iPad homepage, you get a nice icon on your iPad homepage. When you click on this, you are again redirected to the PeopleSoft Mobile logon screen. After logging on, you see again a white screen, but this time without a url bar, which is hidden to make it look like a native app.
Now, my question is, why is my iscript url to being redirected to the actually iscript url and keeps having the +?cmd=login+ parameter in the url, even after logging on to PeopleSoft.
What am I doing wrong.

Hakan

Hi,
This is a security choice the customer has to make.
You could have your PIA running on the internet, but definitely need to think about security (Loadbalancer, firewalls, reverse proxy, etc). Mobile devices can connect to the mobile applications from everywhere.
You could have your PIA running on your corporate intranet and chose to use a VPN connection from your mobile device to connect to the corporate LAN. Mobile device can still connect to the mobile applications from everywhere.
You could have your PIA running on your corporate intranet and chose to not implement any of the above alternatives. Mobile devices will only be able to connect to the mobile applications when connected to the corporate LAN through WiFi.
Since infra is not my field of expertise, these are the connectivity options, I can think about, but probably there are many more networking solutions.
If you are interested on how to install, configure and use Mobile Expenses and Approvals, have a look at the blog I recently wrote:

Mobile Applications adjusting as per Screen resolutions.

Something is producing the picture displayed in the picture indicator.
At this point it isn't possible to scale or zoom the picture in the
indicator after the fact. You will want to scale the coordinates
making up the picture itself. Scale the Rect wired to the Draw Circle
and move the center to be in the center of the indicator.

Error while saving a Sales Order in the CRM Mobile Application

Hi,
I am facing issues while saving a Sales Order in the CRM Mobile Application. I am getting the error message "Value Field KvLangu is not valid (Error: 236 / 1102)".
I would be very grateful if somebody had faced this issue before and this way could help me with some information.
Best Regards,
Rogerio Prado.

Hi Rogerio,
You should put mobile sales related messages in the forum "CRM Mobile applications"
This error message is coming because the language table SMOT002 might be empty in your mobile client OR it does not have all the values which have been customized in the system.
You need to have subscription based on publication "customizing objects" assigned to your site.
