Installing an app - reference to /Applications folder??

I have seen an app called MACalc that is freely available and I would like to try it out. It is not available via the Apple App Store, but via a download from the authors site.
The instructions that come with it state to copy the app into the /Applications folder (presumably on the iPhone) where it will be picked up when the iPhone restarts.
The instructions make it sound as though this is an easy thing to do, but I must be stupid or something because I can' find any way to look at the file structure of the iPhone so I can copy the file(s).
Can some kind soul please enlighten me as to how I can copy the app to the /Applications folder?
Thanks
Susan

I think in RPN (long years of practice/habit with HP calculators).
I know there are RPN calculators in the app store but I have seen good reviews about this and it was free. However that is 'free' only in terms of $'s - I'm not prepared to jailbreak (or whatever the correct term is) my phone.
I was thinking that there may be some "obvious" way to do this that I was not aware of - hence my question.

It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first. Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue. Thanks anyway.

I reinstalled operating system software on my MacBook Air (Yosemite 10.10.3) and tried reinstalling Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I was able to install the software into my Applications folder but I was unable to enter the serial number or go any further with the installation. When I click on the Adobe Acrobat icon in the Applications folder, nothing happens.

Hi Tom,
kindly check the System requirements | Acrobat family of products—older versions (XI, X, 9)
For serial number message try:

Update Lightroom 5 to CC, app not in applications folder

I have a photographer package and try to updated Lightroom 5 to CC now two times but can't find the app in the applications folder on my computer...

if you updated (actually upgraded) to lr cc (2015), it won't be in the lr 5 directory. lr 5 is not removed with that upgrade so that's your (now) older version.
check applications>adobe>lightroom cc directory or order your directories by creation date to easily find the most recently created applications>adobe subdirectory.
if you don't have a new lightroom directory, Installation and launch log errors | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

App Not In Applications folder, but App Store says it's installed.

Anybody have any ideas on this?
One of my apps is missing from my Applications folder, so I went into the app store to try to re-download it, however the application store says the App in question is installed...
There is a 'free' version of the same app in the app store, so I decided to try downloading it, which works, but again the full version of the App is still missing...

Neither of these ideas apply...
Prior to exausting everything I could think of, the free version was not installed, and in fact had never been 'purchased' (it did not show up in my purchases list, and the button on it read 'free' instead of 'install')...
The first thing I did was a spotlight search for JPEGmini, with no results comming up.
I then went into the App Store which is when I found that it was reported as installed.
I proceeded to use the Terminal app to try and determine if a hidden flag had been set on the app in the Applciatons folder (rendering it present but invisible), but was able to confirm there was no applicable hidden item...
It was then that I 'bought' and downloade the free version, just to see if it would work. It worked as expected, and even upon deleting the app the 'INSTALLED' indicator in the App Store went back to an 'INSTALL' button...
I've since removed the free version but am still unable to install the full version...

10.5.6 update is installing updates in Previous System/Applications folder.

After updating from OS X 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 I discovered several of the updates were installed into Previous System/Applications rather than the Macintosh HD/Applications folder.
This resulted in Mail (3.1 build 914/933) quitting repeatedly which is when I discovered I had a newer version (3.5 Build 933) in the Previous System folder.
I then checked some of the other applications and further discovered that Spaces 1.0, Bluetooth 2.13, ical 3.06, Key Chain 4.0.2, X11 2.1.5 and Address Book 4.1.1 also installed to the Previous System folder.
I switched the applications between the two folders and everything seems to be working OK but is this going to mess things up when 10.5.7 comes around?

Just and update:
-Previously I had deleted the Previous Systems folder.-
I backed up my files and downloaded the massive 10.5.6 Combo update on top of the previous update. Restarted the computer and everything is working fine, all the newer versions of software are installed and running fine.
So a happy ending for today.

No Apps listed in Applications Folder

I have noticed lately that when I search for applications in Finder from the sidebar (username/Applications), I don't see any applications listed in column view (or in any view for that matter). However, if I simply select 'Applications' from the sidebar, all of my installed applications appear in Finder. Do you have any idea what might have happened here?

There are two Application folders, one at root level and one in your Home folder. Normally applications are placed in the one at root level so that they are available to all users of the mac. If for some reason you are one of several users and you want to keep an pplication for your own use only you would put it in the Applications folder in your Home Folder. Normally you wouldn't to this, so it's quite normal for the folder to be empty.

Programs installed but not visible in application folder

I am having a strange problem. Only a few of my programs are showing up in the application folder. If I search for the programs using the finder window they are there and the path at the bottom of the finder window shows they are in applications, and can be used but they just are not visible in the application folder (root folder).
Any suggestions how I can make these programs visible.
Thanks

Try this as a start:
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Do both items. Sometimes simply setting the Finder to show invisible files then turning off the option will make those invisible applications reappear. Sometimes it doesn't work. In that case you can try the following:
1. Enable the Finder to display invisible files. Leave the Terminal active.
2. Enter the following command line in the Terminal
sudo chflags -R nohidden
Put a space after "nohidden", select all the invisible applications you could not see and drag the selection into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted for your admin password. Enter it. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN.
3. Disable the Finder's display of invisible files.

Cannot install AIR app in an existing folder

Hi to all, I'm trying to create a setup for my AIR application. I have an NSIS script that install all the files that the AIR app needs in the targer folder. The AIR app is copied in a temp dir and then is lauched for installation but the installer said that it cannot install the application because the target folder is existing? What can I do to remove this check?
Thanks a lot,
Andrea

Correction to above.
Can't find folders to choose to place bookmarked item into. There is no list like I had in my XP laptop.

I have downloaded and 'installed' Mavericks, restarted but it's still 10.8.5 and the Mavericks Install is still in my Applications folder. I've done this three times, still no result. Help!?!

Can anyone help with this? I've searched the help databases and can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere.

Do you have the 5.3 GB Mac OS X Mavericks installer application? Please do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Now try installing Mavericks, but before you do I recommend you put a copy of the installer in your Downloads folder and make a backup of your current system.

How do I install an app on the application page in Lion?

How do I intall additional apps in the launchpad in Lion?

Well, Appleworks is a PowerPC application, so it won't run on Lion and therefore would not show up in the LaunchPad. The others could also be in the same category depending on how old they are. Office 2004 and before are PowerPC apps. I think the iWork suite was universal, but I'm not sure. All the rest you'll have to verify that they are at least Universal or Intel.

When using a Foscam FI8910W IP Camera, how do I get the 2-way audio function to work? I have VLC as a video app in my applications folder. I am running OSX 10.8

Again, I am on a 2011 MBP, running OSX 10.8.4, and I use VLC as my default player. I bought a Foscam FI8910W Pan&Tilt camera, which has 2-way audio capability through the browser. I have looked online and the only people who have this camera who can also use their audio functions are those individuals who are on a PC running IE. The Foscam website says to fix this issue I must download VLC player. I had VLC before I ever heard of Foscam. Still no audio. When I sign onto my IP camera by inputting the IP address, the user name, and the encryption password, I can then view the camera. At the bottom, it has a URL that says (audio). Clicking this does only one thing - it tells me that I need a plug in to have audio support. The plugin is the VLC player. So I am back at square one. Please help.

I just went to the IP address to access my camera's software; however, there is no mention of audio settings or anything called ADPCM. The included software (CD) does not work with 10.8 - a fact left out by the manufacturer
In regards to .wav files as you had previously mentioned, I have only 6 (.wav) files on my Mac that could be located using finder. They are all involved with my MacMail application. I could not find any other .wav file.

How do I move an App Store app to a user's application folder?

I have set up my mom with an older Macbook Pro of mine to save her from the evils of the PC. I set up two users, one for her and one for me; hers is uber simple (big icons, only the essentials in the doc) mine is crazy complicated. We share apps, of course, which was fine until I realized she is going to want to download Mah Jongg game apps and the like from the App Store, and I would LOVE it if I didn't have to have all that cluttering up the root Applications folder.
I already tried to move one app from root to her user's Applications folder and all that moved was an alias, the app stayed at root. So how does one move these things? Is there a way via the finder? Can I use terminal (and if so could someone spell out the command for me?)
Thanks in advance.

You might want to rethink moving the apps.
First the App Store knows what's installed by looking in the Applications folder. If the app is not there but is listed as purchased it will be prompting you to download it constantly.
Second Lion has really locked down the permissions on the Applications folder, even Admins (as you're discovered) have to jump through hoops to change stuff around. You'll need to change permissions on the folder at least to get the apps out. It will be a pain in the long run.
Again weigh the inconvenience of having an extra few apps in the Applications folder against what I described above.
regards
