I have my utilities folder in my apps folder. Is this correct?
I just noticed that I have my utilities folder in my apps folder. Is this correct? I went to move it and it started a long download, so I stopped it
Utilities is a subfolder of Applications. DON'T move it.

I have currently 4.9 pages and I tried to open a document and I get a message that I have to purchase an upgrade of $19.99 is this correct?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I have tried many of the suggested solutions from online communities, like uninstalling and reinstalling, but I still have the same problem - Firefox disappears from my dock, when I click on the 'question mark' in the dock to open it, I'm asked to copy to my Apps folder, which I have to do each time and replace old version. Then I'm prompted to install the latest version, but when I do this, it gets stuck on contacting server. Please help! I'm using Yosemite 10.10.
Do you have the current version of list.it (version 0.4.8.9.1)? This page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12737/ indicates it is compatible with all Firefox 3.6.* versions.
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions shows what version. If it is old, click "Find Updates" at the bottom of the Extensions window. -
Most of my apps have been upgraded to CC 2014 from CC - is this correct?
Hi
The cloud icon on my toolbar disappeared yesterday so I looked in the discussion groups at what to do and found out that somebody had the same problem and just restarted their computer and that the cloud icon reappeared. I did this and the same happened for me. Great.
Then I noticed that most, but not all of my apps, were due to be updated and I proceeded to download them as instructed. Most, but not all of the apps, were upgraded to CC 2014 versions e.g. Adobe Photoshop CC (Ps) to Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (Ps 2014). Is this correct or has something gone wrong? I now have two icons for most of my app in my Launchpad - should I delete the CC icon in each case to leave the CC 2014 version? Should I then go on to use the uninstaller for each CC program located: Applications>Utilities>Adobe Installers>Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS for example?
Many Thanks
David Perkins
(Brighton UK)Thank you Akshay for replying so quickly. Lots of work to do then on my part.
Is there a list of CC apps that have been updated to their 2014 versions, so that I can check that I have all the updates?
Many thanks,

The update from v11.1.3 to 11.1.5 using the iTunes internal updater hung about 80% through the install. I had to kill it and reboot before I could uninstall the existing version since I did not know what state the program was in. When I started the reinstall using the 64 bit version, it showed a default installation directory of "Program Files (x86)". Is this correct? I know iTunes had something installed in the 64 bit "Program Files" directory.. Before I procede, I want to be sure that it is not going in the wrong place. I have a Win 8 PC.
Thanks,
JohnDYes... that is correct.
On 64-bit machines iTunes installs various components into the following folders (or localized equivalents):
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
C:\Program Files\iPod
C:\Program Files\iTunes
C:\Program Files (x86)\Apple Software Update
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes

I have a application installed in my apps folder but others users cannot see them
I installed an app on my imac using OSX Lion. The app is in the application folder of the admin account. The other standard users cannot see the app. Is there a way that they can use the app and see it in the application folder when they log in?
Then move it into their application folders as well.

I open disk utilities and show toshiba MK8034GSX Media, is this correct?
Plus I show the MacIntosh HD, but previous I don't remember the Toshiba Media being there. I'm only asking because recently I had a dvd stuck in my mac, and when I went to restart my mac it was reading the dvd and not my start-up disk.
and yes, I'm rather a mac virgin, but I'd rather ask the question than have something wrong w/my mac.
thanks
julieA Toshiba MK8034GSX is your hard drive model.

Move Mobile Apps Folder To External Drive?
Hi guys,
I've got a MacBook Pro running Lion with all the latest software / updates. This has become my secondary machine (since buying a lovely 27" iMac), and I'm using iTunes Match to keep both the MacBook Pro and iMac's iTunes libraries in sync.
Now that I sync my iPhone and iPad to the iMac, I don't have much need for the Mobile Apps folder on my MacBook Pro. I have a lot of apps, so my Mobile Apps folder is ~50 gigs, and it's suddenly one of the larger items on the MacBook Pro's drive. Would it be possible to relocate this folder to my external drive for the MacBook Pro? I found an older suggestion (to move the Mobile Apps folder, and create a shortcut in the iTunes folder pointing back to me new location), but this didn't work at all.
Is this do-able? As as alternate, can I just delete all the Apps from my MacBook Pro's iTunes library (from within the app) without screwing up the syncing or (via iTunes Match) inadvertantly deleting them all from the iMac as well?
Thanks!How to use an SSD with your HDD
If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it. -

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -
I keep getting updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update it starts the process but then a message pops up that says the download cannot be done at this time. I have had to delete a few apps because of this. I have also signed out and signed back into my account and turned my phone on and off and still does the same thing. Help!
Hi tmcrae
First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
Hope that helps

Hi there!
I am using GarageBand for some months now and I´m really happy with that software. Yesterday the new version (2.0) was released and it is now for free. However if you want the whole bundle you have to get the available in-app-purchase. This however means having to pay once again for something I already paid for, correct?
Or is the in-app-purchase for free to those people who already paid for the app?
Thank you very much!Just tried - sign in to the account you used to buy the software and click restore purchase. The old Garageband users are automagically given the full version by internal systems of Apple.

The QT X v10.1 app installs in your "Applications folder and QT 7 v7.6.6 (whether keyed for "Pro" use or not) is installed in the "Applications/Utilities" folder. It is recommended you keep them in these locations so they will continue to update correctly/automatically. -

how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
What's the work around?
Thank youI'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.
