Duplicate Apps. when upgrading.

When I upgraded from 10.2 to 10.4, I copied my home folder to another hard-drive. I was not sure how the upgrade was going to change my current files. Well I new to computers and didn't want to lose anything.
While I did not lose anything my extra hard drive is a mess , I've been cleaning out sense. My question is , I copied some iLife apps into the folder. iMovie,iPhoto,Garage Band, and I was wondering if it is safe to delete these duplicate apps, and / or, do I need an uninstaller to properly do this.
There the same version,but have different file sizes? for example :
iMovie on System Drive - 53.9MB
iMovie on Other Drive - 47.6
Thanks
John

Before I upgraded I copied my Home Folder to the HD 2 , I can't be sure but most likely I also copied my iLife Apps there also.
Since you're not sure you copied the apps separately, we still need to be certain that there weren't any duplicate app copies in your home folder before you copied it over, in which case they could still be there. Look in your current home folder, on HD1, and be sure you don't see them there. You might also download [EasyFind|http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/index.html], looking again for duplicates of those apps elsewhere on HD1 than in /Applications.
With regard to re-installing OS X now, I think that was suggested because it seemed originally as if you did have duplicate apps on your startup disk. Hopefully that is not the case, but we need to know that for sure, as suggested above. Perhaps Cornelius will come by to comment further.
If there aren't any app duplicates on HD1, then I think you are OK. I think it should then also be OK to delete those backup copies on HD2, since 1) "everything is working fine" on the startup disk (did you actually test those apps?) , 2) those copies are not the same size as the originals and may be defective, and 3) those particular apps might have to be re-installed from an installer anyway rather than just dragged back into /Applications.
Everything is working fine , but I just want to free up some space , my computer feels very bogged down.
This again isn't clear to me - is HD2 being used for anything other than inactive backup files that are just sitting there?
At the end of the day, you want to have a recent backup copy of anything that you don't want to lose. If HD2 is used only to backup HD1 then that is fine, though going forward it would be desirable to have a better way to do it than just dragging the home folder there. Many people use cloning software. If HD2 contains important material that is not on HD1, however, then you need additional external storage to back up both HD1 and HD2.

Issue with store apps when upgrading to Windows 8.1

Every once in awhile when performing an in-place upgrade from Windows 8.0 Enterprise to Windows 8.1 Enterprise, we will experience a strange issue where most of the default store apps will not launch. They will attempt to launch, and then drop the
user back to the desktop with the icon for the app showing in the taskbar. I have tried running the app troubleshooter but it gives the message "Microsoft account required". The problem here is we are using active directory accounts and
we don't want the users to have to create or login to use these default apps.
I know I can use DISM to remove those apps, and I know I can use DISM to install apps, but is there a way to do this with the default store apps? I believe that I would need the appx files to do this? Are those in the image somewhere?
I also tried running "dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" but this also was unable to correct the issue.

Hi,
Sometimes, after upgrading to Windows 8.1, the Store App may not start, or it might still show the number of available updates on the Live Tile
To fix this, run the following in a Command Window (CMD) to re-register the Store App:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML
Details as the following reference:

Error in custom apps when upgrading Oracle Apps to 11.5.10

Hi,
We're upgrading Oracle Apps from 11.5.5 to 11.5.10. We have a custom application that's registered in Oracle Applications and the modules that I've tried to run so far all produce this error:
FRM-47023: No such parameter named G_QUERY_FIND exists in form <form_name>.
When I press OK:
FRM-40105: Unable to resolve reference to item PARAMETER.G_QUERY_FIND.
When I press OK:
FRM-40039: Cannot attach library fis_libs while opening from <form_name>.
I've recompiled the library and the form but I'm still getting these errors.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lorena

Hi,
We were able to resolve this by putting the library in the $AU_TOP/resource directory. It was previously residing in a custom directory.
Thanks,
Lorena

I lost app when upgrading to 5.0here did it go...important app I use for note taking at work!

I upgraded my iPad 1 to the new iOS, 5.0, and it removed an application I downloaded from the Apple Store called Noteworthy. It was a note taking software, and it's been upgraded a few times since I bought it, so I know it's legitimate. I lost all my notes, etc. Anyone have advice? This is pretty critical for me!

Apple stepped me through the backup restore, only to find out it was all gone. VERY UNHAPPY with APPLE, and am planning to tell everyone I know. Step one of any upgrade should be to conduct a back-up, and confirm it with the user. I guess Apple thinks they are above process? Oh well...eight months of notes flushed away. I guess I should not have had a choice in keeping those, right??? APPLE BITES!

Previous version of an application will be deleted(replaced) when upgrading to a newer version ?

As the subject clearly states: what happens to old version of an app when upgraded to a newer version ?
does it works like the iphone app.. the old will be replaced with the newer or does the application file keep all the files including previous things?
If so, is it better to restore macbook pro rarely ?
thanx a lot

The old version is uninstalled and the new version is installed.
I can't think of a reason to ever do a restore other than before selling it.
Even for a failed and replaced hard disk I would reload from my most recent backup.

Access denied when upgrade SharePoint app in on premise deployment while it succeeds in fresh deployment

We deployed a SharePoint hosted app then used it for a while then we needed to upgrade it to be provider hosted app.
we used the same AppID and name with the new package then uploaded the package to the app catalog.
the old app in the site contents now has a note that there is a newer version and prompts to upgrade.
the upgrade fails with access denied even for site collection administrator.
is there really some permission issue or the upgrade can't be done?
We are volunteers, if the reply help you mark it as your answer. thanks!!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got access denied error when upgrade the SharePoint hosted app to provider hosted app.
How did you upgrade a SharePoint hosted app to a provider hosted app?
They are two different type apps, why not just create a new provider hosted app?
To create a provider hosted app, we should create a certificate that is used as “security token issuer”.
There are two articles about creating provider hosted high trust app, you can have a look at them.

Lost my apps when I upgraded my iPhone 4 with ios6 any idea how I can get the apps back

Lost my apps when I upgraded my iPhone 4 with ios6 how do I get them to reflect on my home screen

Another way is to just easily go the App Store on your iphone or ipad and look under purchased arrow. Click on it and all your apps you've downloaded or purchased are right there, no connection needed. Just hit the icloud button and download them. The reason I think you "lost" them is you forgot to back them up to your original back up on your mac in itunes.
I can now see all my apps via icons right in itunes, which is cool for me.
If your apps are in itunes then they should, should have backed up to your restore. If they didn't that's weird.
Too many people are screwing up the update by not SLOWLY reading the instruction options when they begin, not Apples fault. Also, so many people are impatient and thinking that when it says "restoring" "backing up" they freak and think they are losing everything and prematurely stop the upgrade, unplug or whatever.
People take a deep breath. This is a MAJOR undertaking for Apple and all of us.
Perspective - over 100 Million iOS devices.... Think about it. No company has attempted to do what they are doing -- all at once.

Hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1 .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't found the correct camera app .please help me .

hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on ipad 3 .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't found the correct camera app .please help me .please give any suitable link where i find the correct camera app

It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When upgrading or downloading certain apps, my iPhone 5C is asking for a password to an account that's not even mine. I want this removed.z

When upgrading or downloading certain apps, my iPhone 5C is asking for a password to an account that's not even mine. I want this removed.

It will be an App that you personally did not buy using your Apple id ( an App purchase locks the App to the Apple id used to buy permanently, to prevent piracy )
Next time you get the message check which Apps are trying to update ,it will be one or all of those Apps

Did anyone else lose APPS that they paid for when upgrading to iOS5?

i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

I lost all my data when upgrading my iPad to iOs5. App Store doesn't recognize that I already purchased pages. What can I do other than repurchasing?

Is the file and apps will lost when upgrade to Mountain Lion?

I'm currently use lion and tend to upgrade to mountain lion. is it will affect my files and apps after upgrade to it? sorry, i'm a new user of apple product.

You mustn't lose your apps, but you have to do a backup if the upgrade fails and you can't access to OS. Also, you can check the app compatibility, but if you use Lion, you mustn't have problems with them
