QT 7 and Utilities folder

Having downloaded what must be the latest version of QT 7 (for SL) from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923 , and registered it as QT 7 Pro, I'm wondering why it is installed in the Utilities folder.
Not that it really matters, but could it be moved to the Applications folder?

I can only guess, but I imagine it's in the Utilities folder so as to not confuse people with having two versions of QT Player in the Applications folder. I haven't tried moving QT Player 7, but I would imagine that it would work. Updating it may be problematical if you move it, though; the updater may fail or it may install another version in the Utilities folder.
Regards.

Drive Genius 2 and utilities folder

Hi there
1) I am hopping some one called help me with Drive Genius 2. I want to initialize the disk. But the problem is that there are two options one is “Apple Partition Map” the other is “GUID Partition Table”. Don’t know which one to choose, what do they mean? I am using a three year old iMac and want to reformat an external USB drive.
2) Something else I would like to know about the utilities folder in the app folder on the Mac. All of the utilities that came with the Mac are missing. Don’t know where they have gone but “About this Mac “ and the more info button is greyed out and cant be pressed. The info I think was in utilities folder which is now missing. How do I get the utilities back, can I get it from the Mac OS X disc that came with the computer? Don’t want to install the how system, is there anyway I can just get utilities from the disc?
Thanks for any help

Thanks for the info
I have Pacifist and I thought it had worked but on the Disk utility, system profiler, and terminal are crossed out and when clicked on it says "You can't open the application "System Profiler" because it is not supported on this architecture". What does this mean and can I get it working again?
Thanks for your help

Help restoring facetime and utilities folder

I got my new iPhone 4 today and used the "restore from back-up" command in iTunes to port everything over.
When I restarted, I don't have facetime, and the utilities folder was gone. I assume that all the utilities had in it was calculator, stocks, weather, etc. And I still have those from my old phone.
1) How do I get facetime back?
2) Anything in utilities that has been added or other apps Apple included that I may have lost on the upgrade/porting process?

Uhh, I did a search first thing.
There is no app, and the setting under Phone, which is on, is to have facetime display one's phone number...not to enable the program.
Next suggestion?

My toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it. I have the preferences checked to show icon and have checked utilities folder. nothing. Help!

I have a iMac, Yosemite 10.10 and my toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it!. I have the preferences checked to show icons and have looked in the utilities folder..nothing. I have also changed ports. ??

A few things to try:
1-Repair permissions and restart your computer.
2-Zap the PRAM
3-Use Software Update/App Store to update your OS to OS 10.10.3. Also, update everything SU/AS has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

How do I get my utilities folder with calculator and compass on my ipad?

What happened to my utilities folder?

The Calculator and Compass apps are not included in the iPad version of iOS, only the iPhone. You'll need to find an app that meets your needs in the App Store.
Best of luck.

*** may have found a fix ? *** Thanks to your post re: GDI objects I checked task manager ( added column "GDI objects")and saw 700+ whereas working 6.18 was 160 ish Got thinking - what could possibly use that many GDI objects ( firefox only uses a few hundred and it's a platform ) Then it hit me - emoticons ! So in tools/ options/ IM&SMS/ IM Appearance unchecked "show emoticons"and also unchecked "show images and other media previews"restarted Skype and GDI objects now only 164 ( down from 729 )and all other windows are repainting fine and are usable again( my problem was RDP sessions that became unusable, as I work remotely ) To be sure, have rechecked the options and restarted skype and see 700+GDI objects ( goes up from 660 when place call to echo/sound test )and removed them again to get only 164have also rebooted a few times and gone through the whole processof unchecking emoticons, restart, rechecking emoticons, restart to make sure itsnot a fluke. pretty sure this has fixed it for me ( so I now have a working 7.6.0.105 on XP SP3 ),and as your problem "sounds" the same I hope it also works for you. Thanks again for the GDI hint

How can I change the name of the HD and Home Folder?

Recently, I had a problem with my computer in which a prohibition sign came up instead of apple logo at start up. I took it to an Apple Store, and they told me that the mistake was in the HD, that they needed to restart the system, so I told them OK, but then it turned out that it wasn't that, it was the cable which connected the HD to the motherboard which was damaged.
They obviously put the name of the HD to another one, and the home folder as well.
So my HD name is "Apple HD" and I want to change it to "Macintosh HD".
My home folder is named "eduardo" and I want to change it to "Eduardo".
I am currently running on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)
My MBP is a mid 2012, model 9,2.
Thanks! Hope u can help me!

Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo diskutil rename / "Macintosh HD"
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password as prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
Diskutil is a disk utility.
Rename is a command.
/ is your main drive.
Note that there is a space before the slash mark and after it.

HELP! No utilities folder on my mac

Hi. Here again. It's . Pacifist is very useful; the utulities are there again but...in english; no problem. The really problem is that there are not help contents about each one of them and Bluetooth assistant is not working at all. Maybe can I do something to repare those little things?...Anyway thanks a lot for your support

Many apps are missing in the Utilities folder.

Hi there!
The MacBook Pro I'm using is Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5. The weird thing is: when I bought it, I tranferred my files from a previous Macbook to this current one using Migration Assistant. But now I couldn't find Migration Assistant in this Pro, and there are many applicatioins missing in the Utilities folder (now there is only one folder named 'contents' contained in Utilities).
Could anyone tell me if it is normal or how can I fix it?
Many thanks!!

1) In your first post you said you have an MBP with Mac OS X 10.7.5, that goes by the name of Lion. Apple uses big cat names for its OS X versions. Mountain Lion is Mac OS X 10.8. Your MBP has Lion since you said you have 10.7.5.
2) If you reinstall Lion, and DO NOT do an erase and install, all applications and data, including photos and libraries, should be preserved. It is always a good idea to make a backup first just as protection. I have never had files damaged from installing or reinstalling the Mac OS X, but others have discussed that on here. However, if all is working well you do not need to resort to a Mac OS X reinstall - this is to clean up problems noted below.
3) By mangled files I simply meant a built in file that seems to be damaged or not functioning correctly. When you said that MA could not be opened due to a problem, that sounded like a damaged file. Could be another reason, but it is not uncommon for system-level files to get corrupted over time, especially when the computer is not shutdown properly or power outages/surges occur, or for other reasons. If there seems to be damage to system-level files the only way to clean things up is by reinstalling the operating system.
Reinstalling is usually very straight forward, but if everything is working fine it isn't necessary. You might as a first step try doing a restart on the MBP which will stop services that may be having problems, often does some minor house cleaning, etc. Try that first and see if all works well and see if MA will then start for you.
And by the way, when you said problems starting MA, there is a sequence for using MA, were you following that when you had the problem, or did you just try and start it from the MBP?

Missing some Utilities in Utilities folder

I misplaced some data; at any rate Im missing most utilities in my utilities folder including disk utility. (I know there is a copy on my install disk.) How can I do just an install of my missing utilites? Im running 10.5.2; is it safe to simply install the combo update to get back my utilities?
thanks

insert apple install DVD, start Pacifist and choose "Open Apple Install disks"
it will import the disk (that will take some time). after it's finished importing, type "Utilities" in the search bar. Select the Utilities folder in the search results, expand it, choose the apps you want to install and click "extract to.." in the toolbar.

Utilities folder disappeared

Hi all,
I was having weird trouble w/ my iBook. Worked real slow. Online stuff seemed impossible to accomplish. I decided to run Onyx for repair. I did but that had no effect. Then I decided to run the Disk Utility that comes w/ the computer. Well much to my surprise I couldn't find the Utilities folder. I did several types of searches. No joy! The folder just wasn't there. So I restored from a backup and then everything was finally working great.
What happened? How in the world could my Utilities folder disappear? This scares me.
My apologies if I put this in the wrong forum.
Thanks,
jabberwock

Just thought of something-
Would the lack of an Utilities Folder cause these probs listed above???????

I accidentally deleted the "Utilities Folder"

I deleted the Utilities Folder by mistake. Does anyone have any advice on how i can retrieve this folder back ?

Welcome to Discussions - I'm not sure if you can extract it from the install package, I think the simplest thing to do would be to perform an Archive and Install. Read this instructions carefully, and remember to check "preserve user settings and preferences"., Your Utilities should be back and in order.

I lost my Application/Utilities folder!

I was double-clicking on my utilities folder (in the Applications folder), and, all of a sudden, it was gone. Now I can't find the Utilities folder anywhere on my computer. I even used the "locate" command in the terminal and was unable to find it. That's an important folder with some important applications in it. Don't know how I'm going to get it back. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
echo

Hi echo!
Have you tried to locate it using the Find function? Command + F keys, or select Find from the Finder File menu.
If it doesn't locate a folder named Utilities, look for an individual utility, like Disk Utility.
Maybe somehow the name of the Utilities folder was changed.

cannot find the contacts icon or utilities folder - where is it

Did you do what was recommend to you on your other post. No need to double post.
try swiping your home screen to to the left or right and see if you can find it on other screens.
