Moving Apps from /Applications to /Users/~/Applications

Is there any reason I shouldn't (or wouldn't want to) move some of my personal applications from the system's applications folder to my users' applications folder?

Yes, some applications won't get updated unless they are in the root Application folder when the update gets installed.
Best to make aliases of those applications you want to use most frequently in a place you prefer to access than try to move the applications themselves.

No option to install/delete/update CS6 apps from Application Manager.

I have a registered copy of CS6 Master Collection installed on my MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. The Application Manager does not show any options for apps excepts for CC and CC 2014 apps. Is this how it is supposed to be? My reason for inquiring about this is because I am having issues installing CC 2014 apps and it was suggested by support to uninstall the CS6 apps, install the CC 2014 apps, then reinstall the CS6 apps from the Application Manager. As of yet, I am not convinced this is a safe move considering the installation issues I have encountered thus far. I need my CS6 apps for school work (especially Encore).

Here is a screenshot of my Application Manager and the current version of Creative Cloud.

Moving Apps from One Account to Another

When I moved to my new job I got a new phone. Not being sure what to do I set up a new BB Id with my new e-mail. Now I can't get my apps from my old account. How can I move those apps from my old account to my new one without having to pay for them again?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It is a matter of using that old BB ID...apps cannot transfer between BB IDs, but BB IDs can transfer between devices, carrying along their purchase records.
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
Given that you've already created a new BB ID on the new device, you may also need this KB:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
I'm sorry that the process will be so cumbersome, but it is what it is.
Cheers!

Moving app from one screen to another fails very often

I'm using the feature to manually move apps from one screen to another on iPhones. It works very smooth without any problem on these devices.
On my iPad 3 I've some trouble with that feature. 1 out of 20 tries works. It makes no difference if moved slow, fast or concentrated - it fails too often.
Spoken with other people using iPad leads to the results the problem also exists on iPad 2. So what happens? You switch to edit mode by holding the "Home" button and wait until the apps are vibrating. Now you put a finger over an app, hold them and move them to the right or left display border. Instead of switching to the next screen the icon jumps back to it's original position. Different people tried it on my iPad and all of them failed in the given rate.
Workaround is to use the shortcut bar on the bottom or to use iTunes from Mac or PC. I've also noticed that most of the time a "close" request of an application (by hitting the "-" sign on an app icon) failed if the app is on the border of the display. This happens randomly and you feel you missed the "-" sign so repeating the operation. But if you concentrate on it you will notice it doesn't respond properly.
As a result my impression is the touchscreen functionality is not as good as on iPhone. Where I have no problem at all with both operations. As other people also suffer from this issues it must be related to the iPad screen.

Yes by restoring the iPhone from the backup of the Pod. The app has to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore.

Moving apps from one page to another

I am a new iPod Touch user and have accidentatlly moved one of my apps to a page of its own and want to move it back to the previous page of apps.
How do I move an app from one iPod Touch (2nd Generation) page to another page?

Page 18:
"Customizing the Home Screen
You can customize the layout of icons on the Home screen—including the Dock
icons along the bottom of the screen. If you want, arrange them over multiple Home
screens.
Rearrange icons:
1 Touch and hold any Home screen icon until the icons begin to wiggle.
2 Arrange the icons by dragging them.
3 Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
You can also add links to your favorite webpages on the Home screen. See “Web
Clips” on page 58.
Create additional Home screens: While arranging icons, drag an icon to the right
edge of the screen until a new screen appears. You can flick to return to the original
screen and drag more icons to the new screen.

Problems moving app from tomcat 321 to 4.0

I have serious problems moving an old app from tomcat 321 to 4.0. I tried just moving the entire webapps/<myApp> to the new server, and also using a war-file, but I get a message saying that one of my Beans doesn't exist.
Its a bean in the /WEB-INF/classes subdir, so its in an annonymous package. The jsp-page accessing it uses the
<jsp:useBean id="dateBean" class="DateBean" scope="session" />
tag.
Error message from jsp-page says: org.apache.jsp.DateBean not found.
Seems my tomcat4 doesn�t use the web-inf/classes in its classpath???
regards
Markus

I don't believe the current Servlet specs allow for anonymous packages. Try moving your class into its own package (under WEB-INF/classes/packagename/) and see if that fixes the problem. Also be sure to change the <jsp:useBean> tag to give the full classname in the class attribute.

Moving apps from one iPad to another

Can I move paid apps from one iPad to another?

Yes. Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the new device with the iTunes library containing the content.

Moving Apps from PC to PC OS9

Have a question for everyone here, I have a MAC Quciksliver that has OS 9 and I want to move some of the Apps from that PC to a 2nd PC with a newly installed dual boot with OS 9 and OS X Tiger.
Some of the apps I want to move are Photoshop Illustrator and few more I can't think of, since I got the PC's used I don't have the install discs.
Can I just stick in a flash drive and copy the folders of the apps from the OS 9 app folder on the old pc and paste in the orther PC and expect it work?
Thanks for any help!

You'd need to move the preferences from the System Folder as well, and you could run into permissions problems with that.
OS 9 does not use permissions, hence no permissions problems.
In addition to prefs files... - though rare, some apps have extensions associated with them, and it is necessary to also move those.

Having Trouble Moving Apps From One Page to Another

I can easily move apps around on the same page. But I can't seem to move an app from one page to another. They stop at the side of the screen and won't move to the next page. Is there a secret to this or does it take fancy dexterity?

It takes a little dexterity but if you have 9 pAges of apps then it takes pure magic to move any to the
Tenth page. I still haven't been able to do it. I've discovered how to delete those pesky defAult apps though. You put them on the ninth page then drag another app onto page nine and push the other one right off. Disappears forever

Help moving apps from iTunes to my iPod touch fourth generation.

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!

Moving apps from 4th gen to 2nd gen?

First time poster and iPod ignoramus here. Thanks in advance for your patience.
My 8 year old and my 4 year old were sharing a 4th generation iPod touch.
My 16 year old gave his old 2nd gen iPod touch to the 4 year old as a Christmas gift.
Now we want to move the 4 year old's apps from the 4th gen to the 2nd gen.
Is this possible? If so, how?
thanks again

Just note what Anonymous1221 said. Most of the popular apps have been updated and the updated apps an no longer compatibe with the the 2G iPod.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Moving files from Applications turns them into aliases

Hello,
I am running OS X 10.7.4
I'm having an issue where if I try to move any files out of my applications folders they do not truly remove from the application folder and just show up as an alias.
I'm going through a game patch load right now and some of the instructions for this patch tell me to remove a couple of folders from the game's application folder for the patch to work correctly. I try to just move the folders to my desktop for temporary keeping and they just turn into an alias, leaving the original folder in it's application folder.
I can confirm this happens with anything inside of my applications folder, so it's not locked to just one particular application. Is this some kind of a permissions issue? How do I disable this?
Your knowledge is appreciated.

It's because you are not the "owner" of the Applications folder nor its content. That is owned by the "system" and requires special permission to change. The result is that when you try to drag an application out of the Applications folder it instead turns into an alias. This is different behavior from Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X. It is related partly to security concerns and partly to other changes in the OS witht he release of Lion and Mountain Lion. I don't know specifically why this change nor why in Mountain Lion the behavior is somewhat different - the file is duplicated rather than moved.
You cannot disable the behavior. You can circumvent the behavior. One way is to select the application then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Move To Trash from the context menu. Now open the Trash and drag the file to the Desktop. Another alternative for your game program is to install it in an Applications folder inside the Home folder. Another is to drag the folders out of the game's folder and to the Applications folder.

Re-launching apps from Application Manager

How do you launch an app again after the first launch? The Application Manager doesn't seem to work the second time around.

Hi pamborama,
Please look into 'Start > All Programs' (on WIN) or the 'Applications' (on MAC) folder to find the application you installed and launch it from there.
