Message: can't lauchn app outsite application folder?

Operating System: 10.9.5
iMac "27
Hi,
I purschased a new app via the App-Store.
In its describtion is stated that it should run under 10.9.
When I tried to run it for the first time, I've got the following message:
"it is not possible to start screenflow outside the folder application
- you have to start screenflow from the folder '/Application'
and it is not possible to start it from its current storage location under: "/Applications/ScreenFlow.localized" "
I opened the folder application and tried to start the app from there.
However I got the same message as described above.
I hope you can help me.
In the moment I am a little bit helpless
Thank you

Thank you for your fast reply
I've already done it ... after I posted my question.
Sadly without result.
However writing this I might have an idea.
The app was installed in the application folder - but with its own folder.
Could this be the problem?
Should I remove it from its own folder and put it direktly in the application folder?
Thank you

Iweb installed on a new computer but i have this error message: Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2."

I have just installed ilife on my new computer from my disk. I have several backups of my webpage from my old computer. Everything would be great if I could just run the program. When I click the icon for iWeb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
Somebody please help! I desperately need to update my website.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I am getting a message "can't open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported" What do I do about these programs?

I am getting a message "can't open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." What do I do about these programs?

In defense of the original poster, I just went through the Lion page (http://www.apple.com/macosx/) and the sub-pages linked on the top (including the 250 new features) and nowhere does it say anything about dropping Rosetta/PowerPC compatibility. A simple compatibility line in the tech specs page could help these kinds of threads. Nevertheless, the argument that Apple should have made this change more prominent is quite valid IMO.
Remember that Apple prides itself on being simple so don't expect everyone to be as up to date on compatibility issues as you. With the big uptake of new users in the last couple of years, these kind of questions should be expected, especially since most users are coming from Windows where compatibility is king (I can run apps from 10+ years ago with almost no issues).
Complicating the issue further is that there is no obvious way to see which older applications are PPC and which are not (who knew Warcraft 3 was PPC and not universal??).
A simple solution could be for Apple to provide copy of Rosetta that users can purchase if they want compatibility. Who knows, maybe such a solution is going to come from a third party

Missing apps in Applications Folder

I recently installed Yosemite on a clean hard drive. I reinstalled all my purchased apps from the app store. All the apps appear in Launchpad but several don't show up in the Finder applications folder. Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers, Pages and Photoshop Elements are present in Launchpad but missing from the applications folder. Since they are not in the applications folder I can't include them in stacks of similar programs and launch them from the dock. I have to launch from Launchpad and they all launch just fine. This isn't a real big deal but it's inconvenient. Any ideas why the apps aren't listed in the applications folder?
I am running a 2.8 GHz eight core 2008 Mac Pro with 6 GB memory and 8 TB storage.

Hi paranomasian
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the programs are install but are not in the Application folder. I would recommend that you read this article, you may be able to find the programs this way and add them to the dock.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

New applications appear with .app in Applications folder

All new apps I've installed appear as appname.app in the Applications folder on the dock.
I want these to appear with just the app name, not the extension, but where can I change the shortcut name?
transparency is good, what's happened here?
thx kindly

Finder -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck the box at 'Show Filename Extensions'.

Can't make alias in Applications folder

Something has suddenly changed on my MacBook Pro (running 10.5.1), and I can't create an alias for anything in the Applications folder. If I do "Command-L", nothing happens. "Make Alias" on the File menu is grayed out. I am logged in as an Admin.
I've run Repair Permissions a few times, but that doesn't fix it. When I do "Get Info" on the Applications folder, I see permissions for _unknown, (unknown), and everyone. I don't see a listing for admins. I don't remember what used to appear before this problem started. The permissions for the Applications folder appear as drwxr-xr-x+.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Ok, I tried adding "admin" and "system". I unlock the panel, but when I click the "+" to add a user, the Finder closes completely, the screen goes blank except for the wallpaper, and then the icons and windows come back. I wonder if my OS install is damaged?
I was able to change the permissions on "Everyone" (which is already in the user list for Applications) to "Read & Write". This allows me to make Aliases. Not a good long-term solution, though.
I think I'll try re-installing Leopard and then reinstalling all the updates, and see if that brings back the correct users and permissions for the Applications folder. I hope it will also fix the problem I have with Finder crashing when I try to add users and permissions for an item.
Thanks,
Peter

TS3297 iTunes message: can't open app because it may be damaged or incomplete

"You can't open this iTunes application because it may be damaged or incomplete" how to proceed?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First make sure there's only one iPhoto library on your HD by launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed. In the next window there will be listed every library on your HD and any external HDs. If only one then close iPhoto and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why is the Blockbuster on Demand App in application folder?

I never installed this app or authorized this app to be installed. How does this app magically end up in my applications folder? I am running OS 10.9. I do have automatic application updates enabled but this should not trigger installing something that I didn't authorize right or no?

Yikes nevermind I think a friend of mine installed this. Please delete this question! Sorry about this.

MBP Late 2007 Snow Leopard 10.6.8 finder randomly (but now always!) crashing current app still works, but can't change apps dialog: "application Finder can't be opened -10810". Any ideas?

Keyboard won't work after waking from sleep. Finder not working. When I hard restart, it works for a little while, but then the finder drops out on its own accord. The current app will still function nearly normally, but can't change apps. Can't quit any apps. Force Quit shows no apps?
All this has started in the last few days. Fine (if a little slow, too long on beach balls, but nothing like the one minute rolls I'm reading about ...) up until then. Only new update was last iTunes update! and I haven't opened iTunes?
any ideas?

Apple can you update newstand so that i can move this app into a folder?

i want to move newstand into a folder. I already know that native apps for the iphone cannot be deleted. That is why I am asking this question. Can apple update this app so i can be able to move it into a folder. It shouldnt be that difficult.

If you want to tell Apple, you can do that here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Can't drag Firefox into applications folder: "libsmime3.dylib is in use".

I search for libsmime3.dylib but can't find it on the computer. The computer is a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.7. I've quit the old Firefox.

OK I looked at an old Apple forum and someone suggested Trash then Restart then Empty Trash, and it worked. Cisco is gone, Opt is gone, and I was able to load FireFox. I had to give admin passwords to do this too. Why an old weird game or library folder could cause such obstacles is a wonder. But I'd rather wonder about other things...

HT204266 Hi my iPad can not contact with App Store ! Please how I can refresh the App Store application in other words to un install and then install it again

Why my iPad cannot connect to app store

The App Store app is a built-in app, it can't be deleted.
What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then you could try the following :
- log out of your account (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store) and then log back in
- close the App Store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
