Moving an Application

I moved an application from one folder inside Applications to a different folder inside Applications. I had to enter my Administrator password to do the move.
Why can't I move the application back to its original spot? Dragging it to its original location just makes a copy.
I am running Snow Leopard.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
We're all other Mac users here, sharing solutions.
Ok, here's the deal.
Applications need to be free standing (not placed within a user-created folder).
Way back in OS 8.6, the habit was to create a user invented folder . . . say, "Internet Apps."
So you take all the browsers, Safari, IE, Camino, etc., and stick them in the user-created folder
called "Internet whatever."
The problem with that is, when you update any of the apps within that folder,
none of them actually update, because the apps are in the whole wrong place.
What app are you moving, and what folders are you moving it from/to?
Did you create any of these folders?

I moved my applications folder to the desktop, but modified the applications in my dock, and now i have too many copies of the applications folder and cant get rid of them without being unable to use the applications :(

I moved my applications folder to the desktop when i first got my imac. now i want to get rid of it, but when i put it in the trash, it wont let me use the applications, even though they are in more than one folder. I am at a loss of what to do now cause i have two copies of everything. please help me figure this out.

Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.

All functions in FUNCLIB record can be moved to Application Class?

I am new comer for PeopleCode. I find many functions are put into a work record, like FUNCLIB. I want to know if some logics only are able to be coded in work record as function due to some restrictions or convenience. If yes, what are the restrictions and conveniences? If not, any one function in one record can be moved to Application Class? Please help to answer. Thanks in advance.

My two cents on this is that the FUNCLIB_ convention is a legacy convention, which was rolled out prior to the existence of application packages. As one can imagine, there is a large effort involved in pulling out FUNCLIB_ code and re-directing all of the calls to application classes.
I work with application classes where possible; there are nice OOP features and things are more tightly defined e.g. you can't just define a bunch of variables and have the '&randomstring is auto-defined' messages appear during PC validation in an App Class.
If you are writing something new, then I would encourage you to use application packages and classes. If you are thinking of re-writing code that exists in a FUNCLIB record event, then you will just need to ensure that you've identified all the calls and so on.
Hope this helps

Moved Photoshop Application to my Desktop for easy access and now recieving an error message, help?

Installed CS6 Design and Web Premium, then moved Photoshop Application to my Desktop from Program Files for easy access and now recieving an error message, saying application is unable to start correctly. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this please?

Move the application back where it belongs, with all it's support files.
You can make a SHORTCUT to the application, and place it on the desktop if you wish.

Error message - "[app] couldn't be moved to applications." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

When I tried to update "Uberstrike" in Mac App store, I received the error that it couldn't be moved to applications. How do I fix this?

Install the v10.6.7 combo update. It includes MAS bug fixes that may help.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, then try updating the app.

Moving web-application from WebLogic 10.0.0 to 10.3.3 - EJB Exception

Hello all,
I've moved my web-application from weblogic 10.0.0 to the new platform with Weblogic 10.3.3. After this I had some JMSEceptions (unable to run JMS methods inside of servlet or EJB) and they were fixed. For now I got new exception:

Seems that it happened due to updating weblogic version (changes in jee, jms, ejb, jpa versions?). Could you please advice me how to fix this issue?
Thanks, Ilya

I belive there is no problems for this change, because the versions are the same for java at least for OaS, for weblogic you should see documentation. I think you can try deploying you app to new environment if you get any noclassdeffound error or something like it then you could have problems for versions.

Keeps on asking for "repair disk" after i moved the application to a folder

Hello, I moved a .app to a folder then whenever i open the app it ask for "repair disk" but when i move it back where it was originally installed, it doesn't have that. is there a way so i can leave that app in the folder and the "repair disk" stuff wont pop up? Also, is someone wlling to give me the icon folder for Adobe Premium CS3 please?

Some apps don't like to be moved - especially if they were installed using an installer program.
If you want to organize your apps, it's best to leave them all where they are in /Applications folder, and create aliases to them. Then organize the aliases into custom folders.

Moving default Applications to subfolders in Lion? Feature request?

I like to keep my Applications folder tidy. I put music apps in a "Music" folder, apps for communicating in a "Communications" folder, useful stuff in "Utilities", etc. It makes it easy to find things. But Apple seems to have hijacked my Applications folder making my organization efforts impossible.
Installing Lion broke my ability to organize. It will no longer let me move apps like FaceTime and iChat out of the top level Applications folder into subfolders. I don't use most of these very often, and I want to hide them so I don't have to sort through a hundred apps every time I want to find something quickly.
I wish I could turn off this behavior which disables my ability to move applications. When I try to put them into subfolders, it just copies the folder instead of moving it and I can't delete the top level folder after it copies to the subfolder.
This is driving my crazy. One of the reasons I prefer Mac OS to Windows and recently switched back to Mac is that I like to be able to organize my stuff the way I want it. What really bugs me is that I used to be able to do this with Snow Leopard.
This and this alone makes me regret buying Lion.
Maybe this is a feature request...
Is there any way around this that isn't going to be a total nightmare during patching?

Thanks for the reply, RodneyW.
Yes, what you say is true and might satisfy some, but I actually kind of hate Launchpad. I even disabled it's trackpad shortcut I dislike it so much. It's too IOS-lke, which I find difficult to rearrange, as well. I just tried it again following your post, but I still think it's annoying and hard to work with.
I'm looking for a fix or workaround within Finder. I just want the old Finder-Applications-folder functionality back.

Moving Adobe applications problem...

I hate the fact that Adobe installs a million icons in the Applications folder. ( i guess i could have chosen a different place to "install" cs3, but....)
I just created a folder called Adobe and placed all adobe apps in there. well everytime i run one of the apps i get a error: "Application has moved from original location" with choice to "Repair now"
I choose "Repair now", but it does it EVERY time i open a Adobe app.
Is there anyway around this?
I'm using CS3

I found this sollution on another board:
NPuter wrote: "before I installed photoshop (photoshop, bridge, stock photos, device manager) I created a folder in apps named "adobe".
When I ran the photoshop installer, I just chose the install folder to be /Applications/Adobe instead of /Applications/"

Moving an Application to a Networked Computer

Hi everyone,
I hope you can help please!
I'm running a program called 'the specialist' on an imac... and would like to run it on a power mac g4 which is part of the same network. The program was originally located under /User/shared - so I copied the application file across to /User/shared on the other computer... when I attempt to run the program from the g4, it crashes (well the rainbow wheel just keeps on rolling)... so I was wondering if there was somewhere else I should look for other supporting files?
Also, when I tried to run the program on the imac using the g4 via the network it had the same problem.
Any tips please?!
Thanks!
Lauren

Lauren, I'm guessing that the '3 launches' probably refers to a trial phase used when evaluating the product after which you'd need to purchase it.
As to finding out where the other files are - well, you could do a Finder search (ask me if unsure how) and you may get some idea where other files relating to this application are, but this is assuming that they all have a name reference to the original product, if they don't then unless you know what to look for you simply won't find them all. Not having the original disk is a problem.

Moving my applications to an external drive.

Hi everyone! I want to free up disk space for a film to edit. So I am planning to move all (well, most) of my applications to my external hard-drive. After the edit is done, I will move all the applications back into my notebook. I am confident that I will not run into any problems, but I wanted to know if anyone had experienced a particular problem before I commit the act, thank you very much.

Don't do this, applicaitons depend upon stuff installed all over your boot drive, they don't take up much room anyway.
If you have drive space download this free program to help visualize what is what

I have moved my applications button off my thing on the bottom of the screen and it disappeared where has it gone how do i get it back

where has my applicayions button gone ?

Greetings, mende1.
I have never had an applications icon in my dock but seeing your post I thought I would look at it. This is what happened.
From Finder > sidebar > drag applications to right side of dock (next to wate bin).
It would not accept it.
From Finder > Applications > Applications icon > drag applications icon to right side of dock. This time it was accepted but the initial applications icon of crossed pencils changed almost immediately to a blue folder with an Address book icon superimposed. Clicking on it produced applications.
Very odd!

Idoc not moved to application and status not updated

Hi Guys,
<b>I am facing one issue in our system for message type DESADV (inbound). please read through </b>
When an IDoc is pushed in from the external EDI system & even though the inbound Partner Profile is set to immediate processing mode:
The IDoc stays in status 64 - 'IDoc ready to be transferred to application'. This assumes that the IDoc has not been processed yet
and still needs to be processed with program RBDAPP01 (or via the process button in BD87).
The issue can not be replicated in test mode i.e. using WE19 to copy and process an IDoc, as it has been found that when using WE19 and processing is set to be immediate, the inbound update is fully completed and the IDoc status is set to 53 - Application document posted.
The issue occurs when an IDoc is pushed into SAP from the external EDI system. "
Please help.

Moving Planning application from development to production

Hello All,
Pretty sure this has been answered heaps of times but here goes...
I have dev and prod enviroments of planning and essbase - version 9.3.1
Dev and Prod have own shared services install and also own SQL Servers
EPMA is used in both environments.
I have a planning application in dev with forms, task lists, business rules etc and access assigments.
* What would be the best method to move the application from dev to prod?
* How could I refresh changes I make in dev to prod server eg. changes in EPMA - add new members, changes to forms and business rules?
Appreciate your advice.
Regards
Dinesh

Hi,
Try with this post to start with - Migration of Hyperion Planning Application
Version 9.3.1 EPMA migration on different shared services you would have to use the EPMA file generator to export to ads, then import the ads in the targe env.
Business rules export to XML through EAS, import on target (may have to update the XML because server names will be hardcoded)
Cheers

Moving DS application from BI platform to Netweaver Platform

HI All,
I have developed a Dashboard project with BW queries in Design Studio(1.3) application in BI BOBJ 4.1 SP 3 and its working fine.
All my data sources are BW queries.
Now we want to see if we can deploy the application directly on Netweaver platform instead of BOBJ and create an Portal iView based out of Design Studio application.
Please let me know the steps to migrate the reports.
Thanks for your help,
Manju

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for the replay. In my case what I have done is when I created application.I have directly created it on BI platform not on my local and now I need to move this application to BW platform this is where I am stuck.
Please let me know if we have a way to download the application as a local application and upload it to BW platform or if I can directly move to BW platform
Thanks,
Manju
