Installing applications... and removing them

Hi
I am super new to Macs so may question may sound like mac101 stuff...Here goes.
I am installing applications but cannot remove the installers. You still see the "drive" like icon and the dmg file on my desktop (that's where I put them). Should these files remain there or is there a way to remove them without removing the installed application?
Thanks,
Marosta

Welcome to the Apple Forums!
You should drag those files left on the Desktop to the trash/Eject Icon that is fixed at the right-hand end of the Dock. That will safely eject them without de-installing your Applications. You will find that your Applications have been stored safely in the Applications folder.
Your post has ended up in the Discussion about the Forums themselves, so I expect the Moderators will move it to the Mac OS X 10.4 forum.

Cannot install applications and/or drag and move files

I am having issues in Mountain Lion where it is not allowing me to install applications by dragging them to applications or dragging files to move them.. Anytime I do this, it gives me a green circle below the icon with a white plus sign and does not allow me to drag/install the file.. Any ideas?

Can anyone help please?

How do I put photos in an album and remove them from the camera roll?

I would like to be able to move photos into an album and remove them from the camera roll. Is this possible?
I take many photos of mundane things that I simply want to remember, such as serial number of products. I would like to save these photos for viewing, but I don't want them to appear in my camera roll, where I have to continuously scroll through many such photos to get to the ones that I want to view there.
I know that Apple has a "hide" feature, but it doesn't actually do anything. When I press-and-hold on individual photos, the photos stay in the camera roll: they aren't hidden at all. It's not clear what the purpose of this function is at all.

You don't do this, as the photos are in the camera roll. That is where they live. When you make an album you are simply making a list of pointer to your photos in camera roll.
If you remove them from the camera roll, then they are gone.
Photos in albums are not in two places. They are in only one place, the camera roll. The album merely contains pointers to those pics, so that you can categorize them however you like.
You should be importing these pics to your computer. I find it far easier to organize my photos on my computer, then sync them to the iPhone.

I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space

I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space.

I haven't done this with an external drive, but I would imagine it works the same way as if you have multiple internal drives. Also hopefully it works with less headache in OSX than in windows.
Anyway, move all your music over to your external, and then go into itunes -> preferences -> advanced -> iTunes media folder location. Navigate to your drive, and pick the folder you want. Ensure that your folders are set up like they are in your ~/Music/iTunes folder, or wherever your iTunes is currently pointing. Then quit and restart itunes. If your music doesn't show up, try dragging your music folder from your external onto itunes, and it will hopefully update your library.xml.
As far as Jerry's problem goes, you could try adding another music folder to your library.xml, but I really have no idea whether this will work or not. If you want to give it a try (can't promise you won't corrupt your library.xml, so make a copy beforehand) you can find the music folder xml element right near the top of the xml file (open it with textedit/textmate/whatever text editor you want (NOT WORD)). Curious to know if this works, and if it doesn't I have other ideas so let me know.

HT204120 i deleted the photos from the location on my pc after i got them on my iphone so i am unable to deselect and remove them as per you helped me ?? what can i do further

i was somewhat helped. but still i am getting problem to delete my photos that i synced last night via itunes on my pc. problem is i deleted the photos from the location on pc after getting them on my device, so i am unable to resync them, deselect and remove them as per i was helped by this communities i am new to use apple products so please help me as it has taken lot of memory in my device/

you say:- You need to keep the photos on the computer, since the ones that are synced to the iPhone are of reduced resolution and cannot be moved anywhere else. You can always remove the other folder if you do not want it.
BUT I DONT HAVE THE PHOTOS ON MY DEVICE(MY PC) I DELETED THEM.
further i tried this:-If you do not have another folder of photos that you can sync, then create an empty folder on the computer and sync that folder. That will delete the photos from the iPhone, then you can go back to iTunes, remove the checkmark by the empty folder and sync again, removing that folder from the iPhone.
Trying this it just removed the checkmark nothing else it did
i think i have no other option rather than to keep those synced photos on my device>

Is it legal to create packaged APEX applications and sell them?

Is it legal to create packaged APEX applications and sell them to Oracle DB licensed clients?
A.

No licensing applies to any environment where you have a live database. The exception is that you can try a product without license, but as soon as development of a product of developing/testing of an in-house solution is done, you need to be licensed. Being a partner changes this slightly assuming all parties involved are partners (one sigle tester from the outside shifts it back to full license mode).
Another situation where license is not needed is to use XE for which no license is required.
Yet one more way to have al low cost is to use Amazon AWS to set up an image with an included license. The cost per hour is really low so it may be a good model to not have to pay everything upfront.
You can also reduce license cost by using named user licensing in development assuming there are few people who ned to access the database. Though there are minimums of number of named user licenses you can have depending on edition of the database.
Overall, knowing your licensing requirements is key. The defense "We didn't know" has been tried before and has not proven to help at all. The cost of an audit will often be a CLM for the person responsible to pay the licenses.

Copy an application with plugins into a new application and change theme...

I copied an application (theme 23) with plugins into a new application and then changed the theme to theme 26. After that, all plugins (skillbuilders super lov, skillbuilders modal, and notification plugin) didn't work at all. However, when I changed the theme back to the original theme, things worked.
I have applications that use theme 26 with plugins and they all work fine. I think the problem is related to copying one application, containing plugins, into a new application. Does anyone have any idea of it?
Thanks.

Hi,
Most plugins have css,images or js files which can be placed on the server.
It might be that you have placed those files on the server in the theme directory.
If you change the theme then the plugin can not find those files any more.

Deleting Profit Centres and removing them from Profit Centre Groups

Hi,
I have recently deleted some 3000+ unused profit centres from our system. However the problem I'm having is that these existed in a number of profit centre groups and the values are still
displaying with the text "no valid master record".
Is there a quick way to remove these from the profit centre groups as I don't relish the prospect of removing them all manually. The standard hierarchy is not a problem they have autoatically been removed from there.
thanks in advance.
Paul.

Hi,
The deletion of the profit centres has been completed and wasn't a problem.
It's the removal of the values of these profit centres from various profit centre groups that is causing a problem. They still appear in the groups even though the underlying master data no longer exists.

If I have iMovie 10.0.1on Mavericks, can I also install imovie11 and keep them separate? this is for all new stuff, no backward compatible issues.

got the biggest imac I could get. imovie 10.0.1 has no audio tools. I need something and FCP is not out yet. So, Can I install imovie11 and run it (not concurrently) on the same mavericks machine without creating havoc?

Ah. OK. Got it. Thanks Alan.
But the current verson (10.0.9), is certainly compatible with Mavericks. I also anticipate any upgrade to be free to current users.

IT department installed XPPro and removed the F11 recovery option

I got an Ideapad S10e and our local IT department demanded that the machine should be running XPpro. So they installed it and it runs almost flawless (see my other message I post in a minute about the card reader).
However, they somehow messed with the boot sector of the HDD so that the F11 prompt to recover XPHome is gone. I have verified that the recovery partition does still exist and apparantly contains the files needed (viewed in the hidden partition using non-destructive HDD recovery tools).
My question is: Is it possible to recreate the F11 start-up option or in another way get to the recovery function to bring the PC back to XPHome as delivered?
I am quite good with tinkering with computers so a complicated recipe won't scare me away.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi Claus.
Windows XP Home Edition is not designed to join domains, only workgroups, and you don't want to mess with you BOFH, especially when he has gone through the trouble of configuring your PC to work with the company network.
The card reader software is installed from C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\Card_Reader on the preloaded XP Home. "Realtek Card Reader Version 6.0.6000.70" is most likely what you need, if your hardware configuration is similar to my S10e.

Anyone had trouble loading Jeopardy HD App? Mine loaded upside down. Tried everything, re-starting, re--loading, all to no avail. Have to turn screen upside down to play.

The App Store is scanning the Mac and finding purchased apps in the Applications folder. It then checks against the list and finds that they are old versions and prompts for an update.
All that is required to install an app is a Apple ID and admin rights on the target mac. The apps she is installing are wrapped in DRM which identify her as the owner, but the App Store doesn't care, as she is entitled to install them on your Mac. But it reads her ID from the wrapper and thus prompts for her password to do the update.
I'd personally suggest that just one of you has admin rights and does all the purchasing off the App Store. You could remove all her apps from the mac, but you'd then need to purchase them again to consolidate them into your ID.
Or you could just get her to do the updates!
