How do I move applications in Mountain Lion

How do I move applications in Mountaion Lion?
I keep getting this error: “Automator.app” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X."
I have just done a complete erase and fresh install of ML10.8.2 and all my stuff (did not use Migration Assistant) and I do not want the likes of Automator, Launchpad, MissionControl, System Preferences, etc, in my main Aplications folder. To me these should reside in the Utilites folder which is where I used to have them in previouw OS's.

hey you can delete it just press command +i scroll down press 2. press lock icon   3 enter your password 4 now press + button add yourself now you can delete it..

  • How to run PowerPC application under Mountain Lion?

    I ahve just upgraded my ancient laptop running Leopard to a newer model running Mountain Lion.
    I use a legacy application (Filemaker v5.5) for work that cannot be upgraded in the near future for my work.
    This is a PowerPC application that is  no longer supported. Is there an emulator or utility that will allow me to run this (and other) PowerPC applications?
    Is there a version of Rosetta or something similar I can get?
    The alternative is to create a Windows partition (shudder) and run it there.

    No Mac will run an OS or OS point version earlier than what it originally shipped with. You can see which iMacs shipped with Snow, from this link. That said, it's not entirely clear that even the mid-2011, if it shipped with Lion, will still be able to run Snow.

    baltwo said he got it running on a mid-2011 refurb, but on a separate partition from a clone.

    How?

    Mac OS X: System requirements for Mountain Lion (10.8) - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
    Lion and Mountain Lion application compatibility - http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 
    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
    Why?  Good question.  I am a strong believer in not upgrading just because something new comes out, especially if you are running older equipment.  I would say unless you see a need for it, just stick with Snow Leopard until something comes along that absolutely requires Mountain Lion.

    Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

  • How come, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my computer is slower???

    How come, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my computer is slower???

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

    How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select

    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Uninstall  the Messages application from Mountain Lion?

    I was wanting to know if there was a way to uninstall the Messages application from Mountain Lion, I tried to delete it/move to trash and it gave me a message saying that the application is required by OS X. I want to uninstall the application due to privacy issues encountered with two Iphones on one apple id account.
    We would just start a new account for one of the phones but as i understand the music that is currently on the phone would not be able to be added to the new account from the original account. By uninstalling messages it would alleviate some issues.

    Hi,
    To be sure.
    On the iOS device go to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and remove the Apple ID.
    Set the iPhone or iPad into Airplane Mode.
    Wait a few minutes.
    Turn the device "On" again.
    Send and Receive should now list just the iPhone Number.
    Now Restart Messages on the Mac.
    There will be an alert saying the iphone is using just the iPhone number.
    Deny this in the click option buttons.
    Then  go to the Sign out Button.
    Then go to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/Preferences in to the dialogue box that appears.
    Find and drag to the Trash com.apple.imessage.bag.plist and com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist (this one holds the Apple ID and Aliases (which include the iPhone numbers)
    Restart Messages.
    It will start and be available for AIM, Jabber, Yahoo and the Bonjour Account  use but will not have an active iMessage account.

  • How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in 5x7 format?

    How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in a 5x7 format? 5x7 is not listed as an option in the print menu.

    For custom print sizes, see the software called Clickbooks: http://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/cbmac/
    I would ask them if what you want is possible before purchasing.  A customer of mine got it to make many other custom formatted pages.   Don't have them anymore, but they I'm sure could tell you if it is possible.  Be sure to also indicate your printer model.

  • How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?

    How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . .  so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
    Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
    And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!

    Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report...   reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
    Please include the "binary images" section...

  • How to turn on usernoted in mountain lion after i accidently turned it off?

    how to turn on usernoted in mountain lion after i accidently turned it off?

    Usernoted was continually crashing and eating up memory. I clicked on it in the activity monitor and it took me to a place where I could turn it off. Without thinking I did so. I think I turned it off in the console or the terminal. I don't remember exactly what was written. I just clicked  to allow it to be turned off. Since then I cannot upload anything to facebook directly from my imac or from safari when I use share. But iI still get facebook notifications in the notification center. I have restarted and even shut down and then restarted and also logged out and in and I still can't share.

  • Why my smart folders dissapear in mail when i close mail application in mountain lion?

    Why my smart folders dissapear in mail when i close mail application in mountain lion?
    Please help!

    My results jumped up from around 1000 to 10,000 when I did that.
    I think this may have to do with having x11 and xcode installed.
    In case anyone is interested, these are the folders I've had to exclude:
    User\Library\Developer
    System\Library\Frameworks
    opt in the root folder of the HD (this is x11. You may have to Finder's 'go to folder' option to get to it.)
    There was also Office stuff coming up which looks like it's from the system when you see it (the identities folder and the subfolder within the Office 2011 folder in Applications)
    The combination of this stuff seemed to create the impression of more files from the System and Library folders were coming up than actually were.
    In case anyone is still reading, the stuff *still* being thrown up that I'm aware of is
    Mountain Lion screensavers from the System and Library folders.
    PreferencePanes - System, PreferencePanes - User and PreferencePanes - Library folders, which each show up as individual results.
    But, as you say, bispymusic, perhaps Apple has deigned that those folders appear in results. Thanks a lot for your help! Have a good one.
