Moving apps between screens

I'm having trouble moving apps between screens. I can move one app but then if I try and move another, I drag it off the side of the screen but the screen doesn't change. The only workaround I have is to move an app to the dock, change the screen with a swipe, then move the app out of the dock back onto the new screen. Is anyone else having this problem?

I thought this was broken on my iPad after upgrading to iOS 4.2. After messing around, I found that if I move an icon around on the screen and hold it at the edge of the screen for a few extra seconds, with the edge of the icon slightly off the screen. Then the screen will change.

Why can't I move some apps between screens?

I am unable to move most apps between screens. After making it movable, and attempting to move the app to another scene, it just bounces off the edge.

Hi: It can indeed be a tricky maneuver until you get accustomed to it. When the Icon you wish to move is at the edge, hold it in that position for a second or 2, it should then jump to the next screen.
Hope this helps

Moving apps between databases

I have a fairly complicated application that has thousands of queries all with table names with fully qualified db links built in. For instance:
select *
from [email protected]
There are lots of dynamic queries buried in PL/SQL too.
Now I want to be able to shift this application easily between our dev and prod environments and I thought I'd be able to create two application items: Fnnn_DBUSERNAME and Fnnn_DBLINK then export the application, do a global find/replace and change all the tables to &Fnnn_DBUSERNAME.tablename&Fnnn_DBLINK.
But the SQL then becomes dynamic SQL and needs to be in a PL/SQL block. So all the queries would need significant rework to insert escape characters and concatenation.
I guess when moving between dev and prod I could export the app then find all links of one type and replace them with another before importing to prod but it doesn't seem very elegant.
Is there a standard approach to making applications portable?

You might want to consider creating synonyms in the APEX application's parsing schema for all object references of the the type <owner>.tablename@dblink.
The values for 'owner' and 'dblink' can be chosen as appropriate for the environemnt. The application should then simply refer to the synonyms rather than the fully qualified names.
This will make moving your apps between environments easier.

Moving apps from screen to screen in iTunes 11.1

I have always used iTunes to arrange my many apps on my iPhone screens. Now I updated to IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 - and I can only move my apps from screen to screen in the iPhone - by holding down the app and sliding it off the screen. In iTunes 11.1 all the apps are "locked" to the screens and I can't re-arrange them by dragging them from screen to screen.
I hate it!
Is this broken -- or a new "feature" from Apple?

I agree with everyone that this is now awkward, but if you double-click a screen page to make it bigger, you can click and drag the icon you want to move out of there to another page. Once you mouse over another page, that page will enlarge and allow you to drop it on there. If the page is not visible (as someone mentioned earlier), you can hold the clicked icon toward the bottom of the area with the screens - and not on a page - and it will scroll. Once you see the page you want, you can drop it on there.
Obviously it was not intuitive to me or else I would not have stumbled upon this discussion! Thanks everyone for your advice and help!

IE11 in Windows 8.1 changes scale when moving window between screens

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 with IE11 on a Dell Latitude E6510 with an external LG screen. I use both screens in my daily work and when I move a IE11 window from the internal screen in my laptop to the external LG screen, the scaling in IE11 changes and gets smaller.
It happens when the windows is halfway over to the external screen. On the way back it changes again and gets bigger. I've use the "One scaling for all my screens" in the Control Panel|Display applet without success. It's only IE11 that has this
behaviour, no other programs does this.
Brgds Jonas

Hi Brgds Jonas,
I agree with Robert Aldwinckle .
In addition, Windows 8.1 definitely seems to be doing some automatic display scaling here, as has been rumored based on beta builds of the OS.
The first option is for multiple monitors with different ppi. windows will choose for you based on what the ppi is. use trial and error until you get the size you want and both monitors will be about that size. if they are close in ppi it will not scale
them differently because I am pretty sure it only chooses from the default scaling sizes.
For more reference, you may refer to:

Hope it helps.

Moving Apps between Mempry Card and Device

Is there a way to move apps from your device to your memory expansion card and vice versa? I recently downloaded QuickVerse to my memory card. It runs but it is so slow, I was thinking it might be faster if the app resided on the device.

Moving apps between users

Is it possible to move apps from one user to another on the same computer?

Generally, applications aren't installed for one user or another. They're installed in the central Applications folder, which all users have access to unless you've set up Parental Controls to limit that.
If, for some reason, a user has their own Applications folder, you should move the app to the main Applications folder, which will allow all users to have access to the program.
Some apps, which tend to launch at login time, do not have an obvious program file, and are, instead, stored in Library folders. In these cases, you should probably reinstall using the "install for all users" option, or simply reinstall for the other user.

APEX - Moving apps between databases

APEX applications are stored in the database, correct? What happens to the APEX applications when you need to recreate the database on another server? Are the APEX apps backed up as part of a database backup and/or Export? How do I move forms from one database to another? Is this a difficult task? Would it be considered a plus or a minus to using APEX?
Please let me know your thoughts as I'm attempting to gain approval to install APEX. Thanks.

Apex is 100% in the database, so if you do a full backup of your database, you backup your applications.
If you have external files (css, javascript, images etc.) in the file system on the web server, you have to backup these separately, of course.
How do I move forms from one database to another?Apex has an export/import utility for that. You can do that via Apex itself, or via sql scripts.
Would it be considered a plus or a minus to using APEX?A huge PLUS!

Issue when moving between screens

Hi All,
Since we started working with Siebel 8.1 in SI we started having an unexpected behaviour when moving to another screen. Basically, when we log in Siebel PRM, we go to "Contact Screen Homepage View (SCW)" and search button is modified to go the Contact/ Opportunities view.
But if we don't want to work with contacts and try to go to another Screen ("Home Page", "Opportunity" or "Messages") instead of showing the selected screen Siebel goes to the Contact/Opportunities of the first contact found.
In case we search for a contact, go to another screen from the Contact/ Opportunities view and try to go to another screen the application works as expected.
Did anybody have the same issue? Do you knwo what can be happening?
thanks!

Freezermale,
It may help to bring Excel to the foreground (by clicking the Excel icon in the Dock), then using the "Zoom" option under the Window menu.
This solved my question by VikingOSX on Oct 17, 2012 10:57 AM
Window > Zoom.
Command and + key will zoom in.
Command and - key will zoom out.
For applications that support trackpad zoom, enable Zoom in or out in Trackpad Scroll & Zoom prefs.
See video at System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom. Hover pointer over Zoom in or Out.

Moving apps in mission control over multiple screens

Hey all, is it at all possible to move applications through mission control between screens? In Spaces this was no problem, but with Mission Control they seem to have botched this up.
So, I open mission control, i see MC running on both screens, then I want to grab a window, and move it to a 'space' on my other screen. Pretty straightforward stuff. Not a problem in Spaces. Seemingly impossible in MC.
Am i overlooking something?
regards,
cor

Yes, I completely agree. I can't see how to see minimized programs in MC either and it is extremely annoying.
Another annoyance is programs appear in different places from one use of Mission Control to another a few seconds later.

All my apps (even App Store!) disappeared (iPad 1 upgrade to ios5). Most apps show up on laptop but app sync is greyed (no restrictions). I have 2 accounts due to apple email req, but I've loaded apps between my iPhone and iPad before. iPad now zero.

I postponed upgrading my iPad 1 because iTunes told me it wasn't homed on my computer. I tried it on my other computers, all with the same message. I finally upgraded it from my MacBook after appearing to sync the apps. When it finished (5.01), all of my apps and data were gone, as well as several stock apps including the App Store itself (although it appears in settings). Since what seems to be all of my apps (iPad and iPhone) appear in iTunes on my Windows portable, I tried resyncing the iPad there (as its new home). Restrictions are off, there is plenty of memory, but the app sync screen and app list are greyed out. Nothing will download to my iPad.
My original Apple account is under my name. However, I had to create a second account at some point in the past due to Apple's requirement that the name be an email address, which is my name (identical) at mac.com. Since both are in my name, it didn't originally occur to me that Apple would consider them as different accounts. This may have a bearing on what is going on, but I don't think so since I have exchanged apps between iPad and iPhone before. To check whether this might be related, I tried to change the account name on the iPad (removing @mac.com). I received a message that if I did so I would have to wait for 90 days to download my apps, which is not satisfactory since my grandchildren and I use the iPad regularly. And I need it for work.
I'm assuming that if I could reactivate the App Store I could redownload my purchased apps. Better yet would be merging both "accounts" into one, if that is the source of the issue. I appreciate your help and suggestions.
Steve

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Sharing iPhone apps between two accounts on a single mac.

Firstly, apologies if this topic has been covered many times before, I've tried to look, but can't find the exact answer I need.
I have recently purchased two iphones and want to use them on seperate apple ID's - I want different iCloud storage for each phone.
I have a macbook which has two accounts (one for me and one for my wife). When I login to my account I have access to my itunes account and when my wife logins into her account she has access to her itunes account.
I have followed the instructions for sharing musics between two users on the same mac - by moving the itunes media folder to the shared folder on my mac. I have copied everything in that folder (music, movies, apps etc). I have also set up home sharing as I believe that you can share apps between itunes accounts using it. Everything seems to have worked ok in terms of her itunes being able to access the music, movies etc, but the apps don't seem to work properly. I went through the subfolders of the itunes media folder and changed the folder permissions to read and write for everybody (because I was getting a permissions error) and she now has access to the apps that are there (on my itunes account), but the apps that she has downloaded on her phone are not being transferred to the macbook. I've tried the reset warnings suggestion and that hasn't solved the issue.
Am I doing something wrong? Should the apps folder within the itunes media folder not be moved with the music when transferring to the shared folder? Any ideas why music and movies sharing is working ok, but not apps?
Thanks in advance!

This should help:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder.

How do I move icons between screens?

Friends,
I have an ipad2 and an iphone. On the iphone, I can easily drag icons between screens by press and holding, then dragging the icon to the side -- the adjacent screen the appears and I can drag the icon to that screen. When I try the same thing on my ipad2, the adjacent screen does not appear. I'm able to move the icons when connected to itunes, but that's a pain.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Steve

All you are missing is patience. Move the icon to the edge of the screen and hold it about halfway over to the next screen for a second or two. Then suddenly the app will jump to the next screen.

Did Mavericks remove ability to drag files and apps between desktops?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and am trying to drag files and apps between desktops without the use of Mission Control. I used to be able to drag something to the edge of the screen, hold it for a split second and have it move over to that screen. This seems to no longer work in Mavericks. I wish Apple wouldn't remove the small things that makes OS X what it is. Now I am less productive because I cannot use this feature.

Apparently so. It looks like the only way to drag files between desktops is to use Mission Control, as evidenced by this Apple support document: "you can use drag and drop in combination with Mission Control to swiftly and easily move items among windows and workspaces." I have Mission Control set up as a hot corner, so I grab a file, drag it into the top right corner, drag it onto the other desktop, and then drop it in the destination window. It's not as easy as dragging to the edge of the sceen, but it's not too much more work.

Moving files between folders is very slow

Hi, I have an iMac 2011. Processor: 2.7GHz Intel Core i5/ Memory 4GB
OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1
After I change my OS from Mavericks to Yosemite, moving files between folders is very slow.
For example, if I move one jpg file in Desktop to Pictures folder (or just any other folders like Trash), it takes about 3 seconds.
When I was still using Mavericks, it made that Ding sound and transferred files right away. However, now, although it makes the Ding sound right away, the file is still there for 3 seconds.
I tried to clean up my mac using many apps, but they never fixed this problem.
I've also tried what I saw on this one thread. OS X File Transfers Very Slow
Go->Connect to Server then type "cifs://server-address" but it says there is a problem and did nothing. (maybe different issue)
Please help!

There may be other issues, but you installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
