Not asked where to place the application

The install process assumes that the purchased application is be in the the /Applications folder.
IMHO, that folder is not for 3rd party applications - I move applications that install themselves there to another folder and if the apps refuse to run properly, they are uninstalled/deleted.
Remember: this is my computer, not yours, to be organized my way, not your way.

Welcome to Discussions, ChipMcK3!
Just in case you did not know, Discussions is a user-to-user forum -- you are talking to other users like yourself. So if you have a suggestion for a change in an Apple application like the Mac App Store, it won't do you much good to post it here. Instead, send such things to Apple using the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ page.
Regarding where apps are installed, the /Applications folder is intended for all applications that are shared among user accounts. If you don't keep them there, you may have problems with updaters, permissions repairs, uninstallers, & in a few cases application stability; so it is a good idea to stick with this organization.
However, if you want to categorize differently, one way to do this is to create new folders in your user account's home folder, & place aliases of the apps in them. You can also use the label function to color code the apps within the /Applications folder, say with orange for untested 3rd party apps & green for tested ones.

  • "Bookmark this Page" no longer asks where to file the bookmark

    Since upgrading to 3.6.12 (OS-X) when I click on "Bookmark this page" it never asks where to place the bookmark. Instead the bookmark ends up at the bottom of "Bookmarks Menu" and I must move it with "Organize Bookmarks".
    I must have changed something, but I'm darned if I can figure out what to do to fix it. Help please.

    Yes. It was Mcafee Site Advisor 3.3 for me too. But, for the record, this was happening in earlier versions of Firefox also. But it was the recent update of Site Advisor that was preventing the Bookmark menu from opening. I disabled it and all is well.

  • I am trying to get my vi to trigger, not sure where to add the trigger

    I need a vi that can trigger using an analog rising edge (1V), then produces a square wave (any square wave will do for now), and then show the measurement of the waveform.  Attached is the code that I have made so far.  Not sure how to get a trigger attached, or where to place the trigger, onto what I have done so far.  Another question is where to have it triggered from, do I need to add another generate waveform to produce the trigger signal?
    Any help is appreciated!!

    Hi,
    You can place a DAQmx start trigger VI in the code at the top, between the DAQmx Timing and DAQmx write VIs, and then set the trigger type to "Analog Edge" and specify the channel to trigger from (in this case I think you would use the APFI line on your card).  Check out the 'Voltage - Continuous Output' Example'  if you need help implementing this in code, that example covers analog output with different types of triggering in a setup similar to yours.

  • Where to place the third party jars on WLS 7.0SP2

    Our application use the thirdparty JDBC driver, for example, the JDBC driver for
    mySQL. I donot want my customer to modify startWeblogic.cmd or some file else
    to make the jar file available for the applicaiton.
    my question is if some directory exists under weblogic700/server where I can place
    the jar file(that is, like the installed extension of JDK or JRE).
    I try to place the jar file on server/ext, it does not work.

    GuofengDisclaimer: I am a newcomer to the world of BEA WLS,
    so try this at your own risk.
    For the 3rd party classes to be found, they have to be included somewhere
    in the CLASSPATH. The best place (IMO) for customisation of the CLASSPATH
    is in the extEnv.sh. You will not find it in a standard installation of
    WLS, but if you look in $WL_HOME/server/bin/startWLS.sh you will see this:
    PATH=".${PATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/bin${PATHSEP}${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin${PATHSE
    P}${JAVA_HOME}/bin${PATHSEP}${PATH}"
    # Import extended environment
    if [ -f extEnv.sh ]; then
    . extEnv.sh
    fi
    Note the inclusion of "." at the start of PATH. This is magic that enables
    the ". extEnv.sh" command to locate the "extEnv.sh" script.
    In "extEnv.sh" you can use the EXT_PRE_CLASSPATH, EXT_POST_CLASSPATH,
    EXT_PRE_PATH, EXT_POST_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to add additional classes
    and directories to the server environment.
    For additional information, refer to the WebLogic Server Administration
    Guide (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/adminguide/startstop.html).
    Similar, if you look in $WL_HOME/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh you will see this:
    PATH="${WL_HOME}/server/bin${PATHSEP}${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin${PATHSEP}${JAVA_HO
    ME}/bin${PATHSEP}${PATH}"
    export PATH
    # Import extended environment
    if [ -f extEnv.sh ]; then
    . extEnv.sh
    fi
    Note the missing "." in the PATH. This effectively means that even if
    the "extEnv.sh" script exists in the current directory, then ". extEnv.sh"
    command will only look along the PATH for the "extEnv.sh" script! To me,
    that looks like an error (probably caused by a DOS-programmer used to
    the default behavior in DOS to always look in the current directory
    regardless of the setting PATH), so as part of my localised installation
    procedure, I replace the offending part of setWLSEnv.sh with:
    # Import extended environment
    if [ -f extEnv.sh ]; then
    . ./extEnv.sh
    fi
    which forces the "." command to read the "extEnv.sh" file in the current
    directory, regardless of the setting of the PATH variable. I have
    notified BEA of this, but their responses is that it is per design!

  • My i tunes is not working anymore. it says the application failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. I have tried re-installing the program but it doesn't work.

    Hello,
    Yesterday I tried to get onto iTunes and was unable to. I keep getting this message:
    Itunes.exe - Unable to locate component.
    This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
    Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
    I have tried to uninstall and re-install the program several times but cannot get it to work. Now I get this message:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
    Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    I have tried to do what I can but am not really iTunes savy and would like to get this issue resolved. Can anyone help me?
    THANK YOU!!

  • HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

    I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
    "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
    In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
    It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
    Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
    Thanks

    Hi Xellana, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I'm looking for information and pricing on possibly upgrading the processor from the PowerPC to Intel.
    While anything is possible if you had enough money... NOPE, you can't change the CPUs to Intel, nor can you get any faster PPC upgrades for it. It'd be far cheaper to buy a new IntelMac than to replace everything inside the G5, and I mean just about everything, then figure out how to machine the case & such to mount Intel Logic Board, Graphic Card & such.
    Sorry.
