Ext sd card - moving/installing apps to it

I have installed a sandisk 64gb micro sd card in my new( now 2 month old) galaxy s III. I would like to move already installed apps to the new sd card as well as install new apps there.
I have installed the apps2sd app and was told that my phone did not support the app.
my phone...
android version - 4.0.4
kernal version - 3.0.8-743127
build number - imm76d.i535vralg1
hardware version - i535.10
I really thought the phone would support using the micro sd card for everything. Am I doing something wrong here or do I need to do something extra to get the phone to be able to move/install apps on the sd card?
Thanks for any help I can get!
Richard

Here's what I know. You can not move or save apps to external SD card on the GS3 at the present time. In talking with Verizon they are aware and think that Samsung may release some time of link on their website to let you move and save apps on SD card. I then called Sansung and they will not say anything. I asked if this will be resolved in the upcoming Jelly Bean upgrade. Maybe.. I asked the Samsung rep why in Earth would Samsung make a phone with an external SD card that you cannot save or move apps. He put the blame on Google, who wrote the software. Tried to get in touch with Google but that is near impossible. I'm aggravated because I went out and bought an external SD card that is useless for saving large games. Also if I would have liked a heads up before buying the phone. I would have purchased a GS3 32 MB instead of the 16MB. Oh well, this is what I know. Hopefully if enough people complain, something will be done.

Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet?

Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet? If it is possible to install apps on SD card in Windows phone 8.1, why is it not possible on Windows 8.1? What sort of design philosophy you follow that gives better features on
a mobile version of the OS but not on the parent OS? Kindly explain if you can!

Hello,
I'd ask in the
Windows 8.1 forum on Microsoft Community.

I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.

Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it. Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer. Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

How to install apps on sd card in Windows 8.1

Why is it not possible to install apps from the Windows Store on to sd cards in the Windows 8.1 OS????
This is absolutely frustrating because you guys obviously blocked the functionality to change it since Windows 8, and since I've updated my tablet has been unable to hold as many applications and games I need.
Don't tell me to clean my file space or uninstall things, alot of your users are fed up and ready to ditch the OS all together so why don't you guys address the problem in an update asap rather than misleading your trusted users. Spare a thought for
people with 32gb tablets that are raising your overall sales of tablets with your OS on them, or get ready for a lot more android tablets to take their places.

who do you mean "you guys"?

Installing Apps to SD card, NOT Device Memory

I just received my first ever BlackBerry (the Bold), after using Windows PDAs for several years. I installed some third party apps (some E-books) using the Desktop Manager. I didn't see an option to select whether I wanted the apps on the SD card or in Device Memory, so I assume they went to Device Memory.
Is there a way to install apps like e-books to the SD card instead of device memory?
Thanks.

Actually I once had an app that claimed if you saved the "over the phone" installation file (forgot extension) to the SD card via the media manager and double clicked on it it would be installed on the SD card. I do not know if the app transferred to memory to run.

Where can high-power video cards be installed on a first-gen Mac Pro?

I have a first-gen Mac Pro with a Radeon X1900 XT in Slot-1 and a Geforce 7300 GT in Slot-4. The x1900 XT powers a 30" monitor and the 7300GT powers 2 x 20" monitors. The 7300GT card died and is being replaced with an 8800 GT.
Now it seems fairly obvious that for gaming the 8800 GT is superior to my X1900 XT. Ideally I'd like to just throw my new 8800 GT in Slot-1 and use it for my 30" monitor and then run the 2 20's off the X1900 XT in Slot-4. The problem with that is that the x1900 XT is a huge card and physically won't fit in Slot-4 because it runs in to the hard drives above it.
*Now, on to the questions / clarification:*
_Question 1_: Is the first-gen Mac Pro the same as the new Mac Pro in that high-power cards can only be used in Slot-1 and Slot-2? If so, why does it come in the standard configuration of:
Slot-1: x16
Slot-2: x1
Slot-3: x1
Slot-4: x8
It would seem that Apple purposely did this so you would run 2 high-power cards in Slot-1 and Slot-4 and keep them away from each other for heat reasons. The new Mac Pro has x16 bandwidth on Slot-1 and Slot-2 and it would make sense why they say to only install high-power cards in Slot-1 and Slot-2 for it.
_Question 2_: PCI-e configurations. There are a few ways I could tweak the configuration of the expansion slots to make this setup work. I'm curious as to which you would think is best:
*Option 1 (default PCI-e config, only works if a high-power card can be installed in slot 4):*
Slot-1: x16 - Radeon X1900 XT - 2 x 20" monitors for minor tasks / programs
Slot-2: x1
Slot-3: x1
Slot-4: x8 - GeForce 8800 GT - 30" monitor for major tasks / gaming
Now, the first issue is can the 8800 even run in Slot-4 due to the supposed power problem? If so, would there be a difference in performance for gaming at x8? I know this is backwards because you'd want the "primary" card to run on x16 but that's just not possible with this PCI-e configuration. If there is a difference in performance would an 8800 GT at x8 still run significantly faster in games than an X1900 XT a x16? I'd think so, but that's assuming the x8 isn't a real bottleneck.
*Option 2 (the only solution if the cards have to be installed in the first 2 slots):*
Slot-1: x8 - GeForce 8800 GT - 30" monitor for major tasks / gaming
Slot-2: x8 - Radeon X1900 XT - 2 x 20" monitors for minor tasks / programs
Slot-3: x4
Slot-4: x4
You still have the issue of the 8800 only running at x8 (if it even makes a difference, not sure). The benefit I see here is that instead of the X1900 XT dumping all of it's heat in to the 8800 GT (since heat rises) you have the 8800 GT on the bottom where it might run cooler. The X1900 XT would then also be limited to x8 but it's not even being used for gaming so it wouldn't matter at all. The X1900 XT is huge and would cover up Slot-3 but I don't use the other 2 slots so I don't mind.
*Option 3 (only works if Slot-3 can actually power an X1900 XT):*
Slot-1: x16 - GeForce 8800 GT - 30" monitor for major tasks / gaming
Slot-2: x1
Slot-3: x4 - Radeon X1900 XT - 2 x 20" monitors for minor tasks / programs
Slot-4: x4
This seems ideal only because this is the only setup that can get the 8800 to run at x16. The issue now is can Slot-3 run a high-power card? The card doesn't really NEED the power since it's just for running basic apps and not gaming. Again, the X1900 would cover up Slot-4 but it's not being used so no worries there.
*At the end of the day, the most important thing to figure out is:* where can high-power cards be installed in a first-gen mac pro? Once we know that we can figure out Question 2. The instructions that come with the 8800 GT say it can be installed in any of the 4 slots, but I don't know if I really believe that.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your help, I think we've beat this horse to death :P. I'm glad I got it all figured out though.
Now the only question is if the gaming performance of the 8800 is actually enough better than the X1900 to warrant making it my "primary" video card. As long as Adobe CS3 apps don't rely on core image like some of the Apple Pro apps do I think it will be fine. If they do I'd have to probably just stick with the X1900 since I use CS3 every single day and only play video games once a week if I'm lucky.
What are your thoughts on the X1900 vs the 8800 GT for CS3?
Edit: This just occurred to me... Since I'm going to have to run them as x8, x8, x4, x4 there isn't really going to be a "primary" card since neither will be at 16x. I guess I could technically just plug my 30" monitor in to either one of them depending on what I feel like doing. If I'm going to play a game I just plug in to the 8800 and if I'm working I plug in to the 1900. The computer is up on the desk so moving the monitor from one card to the other takes about 10 seconds. I could just plug 1 20" monitor in to each so there's always a free DVI port on either one.
It's not the most elegant but I guess it would be a good compromise if I wanted the "best" performance in either situation. I realize the Radeon 3870 is probably the best of both worlds but I really don't want the noise. I already modified my 1900 with this after 6 months of listening to the lawn mower that was the stock 1900 cooler: http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=147
I'm just hoping the 8800 isn't too loud .

A1 - Lenovo App Store doesn't list installed apps or possible updates

This may be because of my inexperience with the Lenovo App Store, but whenever I start the Store app, I get an empty list of current and available apps. I did download and install Firefox cleanly, but no other installed apps are shown by the Lenovo Store app. I expected to find a list of pre-installed apps with potential updates to many of them. Am I missing something?

Thanks to both of you. I have used the Android Market with my Samsung tablet, and it is very easy to work with. I was just afraid that Lenovo had some exclusive apps in their Store that might need to be updated. Do you think it is worth the effort to uninstall the pre-installed apps and reinstall them from the Android Market to get automatic updates?
Yes, but you can't uninstall the pre-loaded apps unless you root the tablet. You can uninstall updates, but not the base app. I have not rooted my A1 and have no plans to do so. I am content with it the way it is. BTW I have a total of 166 aps with no problems. I would suggest you install anti-virus software (any of the free ones are OK), and look into a replacement launcher (I use GO). I suggest that if it sounds interesting, install it. You can always uninstall with no problem. I have moved any apps possible to the internal SD card. Can't install on the external card without rooting. I think that the A1 is the best sub $200 tablet out there.

How to permanantly Re-locate Installed apps on E63

on my E63, when I install apps they go into the Install. folder in the menu. But I organize them and move them to other folders, However mysteriously the end up back in the install. folder somehow usually aftter another installation of another app Is ther a way to lock them in the folder I move them to or is this a bug?
Message Edited by dougggg on 30-Sep-2009 07:44 PM

the things I am moving are not the programs on the disk/memory they are the shortcuts in the menu, the programs are still where they where installed ussually the memory card, like a computer you can move shortcuts from the start menu around to where you want them, thats what I was doing and it appears the e63 loses the location of the shortcuts under certain circumstances.havent pegged exactly when it happens ussually after a install but some went back the other day with out doing an install but I did power off and on the phone so maybe that waa it

Installed apps resetting

I've recently personalized my menus by creating a Games folder for installed apps. having moved the apps from teh installations folder to this folder for better organization, I noticed that some apps would go back to the installations folder whenever they wanted. Any thoughts on how to stop this? I have them installed on the memory card, not the phone.

It appears that you have restrictions turned on in settings that prohibit app deletion. Is your iPad a personal possession or does it below to the company you work for?
