Removing iWork 09 apps from iWork 09 folder

I installed iwork 09 from dvd and it placed a folder labled iwork 09 in the applications folder containing all 3 apps pages numbers keynote .
Question theese 3 apps allway take the longest to open untill they are cached .
I decided to remove them from the iwork 09  folder and just leave the appps in the applications folder .
amazingingly they open exteamly fast now even from a shut down machine  faster than itunes iphoto even mail
is there any harm not having them in a separate  folder in the aplications folder ?

But I did not move them from the applications folder just removed the folder they were in , in the aplications folder  I have downloaded all three iwork apps from the app store on another compouter and they are separately stored in the applications folder so why cant this work ?
Because the Mac App Store installs software in a different way. The Mac App Store will update an app anywhere on your hard drive. The mechanism it uses for this is built into OS X. However, iWork purchased on a DVD or downloaded is installed via an "Installer" application. This installer application is coded to only look for iWork in the /Applications folder. It will not look elsewhere.

This is weird. And I'd bet it has nothing to do with moving them to a different folder. I suspect it is because of a problem with the folder they're stored in or a cache file. I would also suspect that if you totally uninstalled iWork, deleted supporting cache files and reinstalled it that the apps would install just as fast.

  • How do I remove my iWeb pages from the Home folder so I can publish to a new host?

    I have moved my MobileMe site to a new service (GoDaddy).  The basic transfer went very smoothly.  With one tiny hitch:  the new URL text.
    IWeb places web  pages in folders, each folder being a  "site." The name of the root folder automatically becomes a "pointer" to the web site -- and part of the URL text.
    My current root folder  is named DavidChartrand -- me.  So..... when I published everything over to GoDaddy the text "DavidChartrand" was attached to my URL. 
    Instead of seeing www.davidchartrand.com in the URL bar, visitors  see:   www.davidchartrand.com.com/DavidChartrand
    GoDaddy staff says this is simply a quirk in iWeb's design.  Fine, but it's annoying.  Is there anyway I can keep using iWeb but somehow remove the root folder.....that is, remove my site pages from the root folder and and then re-publish? GoDaddy tech support swears it  has many former MobileMe/iWeb users who have done this successfully but offered had no idea how.
    David

    The way iWeb publishes its websites, in its own folder, the normal URL is http://www.domain_name.com/Site_name/Page_name.html.  This is a normal URL for any web host.
    If you want to get rid of the site name you will need to publish your website to a folder on your hard drive and upload only the contents of the website folder to your server with a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLite, Transmit or Cyberduck.  That will get rid of the site name in the URL. 
    Of course remove the existing website foldr from the server beforehand.
    I believe the folder you publish to on GoDaddy is named public_html.  You might try renaming your website to "public_html" and publish to GoDaddy.  In theory iWeb will see the website's folder already on the server and publish the website file into it. 
    It works that way with HostExcellence.com which names the home folder the same as the domain name associated with it. This tutorial explains more about it: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb

    Well, it should be obvious that you cannot remove apps from the App Store, so I'll assume that not what you actually mean. In addition you cannot remove apps or any iTunes purchased content from your AppleID. You can hide purchases, but that can only be done from iTunes on a computer.

  • How to get Apple to remove a defective app from the App Store

    The first app I paid for in the App Store turned out to be defective and is at worst incompatible with the iPhone 4 and is at best badly designed even for the iPhone 3. The developer has not responded to my e-mails. How do I get Apple to remove the defective app from the App Store?

    How do I remove already updated apps from the update area?

    KILLING ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER AND TRAY ICON.
    Easy ! I use Comodo Pro Firewall.
    1) Click on DEFENSE box.
    2) Click on "View Active Process List"
    3) Look down the list of processes. Find APDPROXY.EXE.
    4) Click it, then click "Terminate and Quarantine"
    5) ALL DONE ! No more icon in tray and the program is killed.
    APDPROXY - This is lurking about, you can find it on SEARCH from the START button. BUT, you cannot delete it or move it and MSCONFIG does not work. You can disable it as many times as you like - it will keep coming back.
    SOLUTION ! Download CCleaner, it is a great little program and free.
    Using this you can click on TOOLS, then STARTUP. A list of programs are shown which are enabled at STARTUP. Disabling does not work, just click on APDPROXY and click DELETE. It`s GONE !
    All over in a flash - no more ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER.

  • I have got a lot of apps, which are not installed on any of my iDevices anymore. is there a possibility to remove all those apps from iTunes without searching which ones are, and which ones aren't installed on one of my iDevices?

    I have got a lot of apps, which are not installed on any of my iDevices anymore. is there a possibility to remove all those apps from iTunes without searching which ones are, and which ones aren't installed on one of my iDevices?

    Assuming all the device(s) have been synced to this computer as its Home computer. The easiest way would be to delete all the apps from iTunes. After which connect your device(s) to the computer (iTunes) and transfer purchases from the device(s) by right click (control click) the device name in the left sidebar and the click transfer purchases. When done only the apps on your device(s) will be in you iTunes library.
    Hope that helps

  • Does anyone know how to remove you tube app from my sons iPod touch.

    Please can anyone advise me how to remove the YouTube app from my sons iPod touch

    It can't be removed, but you can restrict it. Restricting it will remove the icon from the screen, as well as require a passcode that you set in order to activate it.
    Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions. Then turn YouTube OFF under the "Allow" section.

  • TS1702 How do I remove/delete an app from my iPad mini that I no longer need?

    Can someone advise please? How can I delete/remove an unwanted app from my iPad mini? Thanks!

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the top left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How to move/remove Apple apps from the Appliactions folder?

    Hello,
    I had recently updated  to Lion and now I'm unable to move any applications installed by Lion (eg. iTunes, Launchpad even chess etc..) in the Applications or utilities folders to any other folder. I receive an error:
    "  "x.app" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X"
    Before  Lion I used to organize my apps into to different folders, for example I had different folders for things like Games, System, Office, Multimedia software. And I only kept a few apps in the applications folder itself. I can now only do that with third-party apps now. And both my App and Utilities folders are cluttered with applications which I seldom or never use.
    Thanks, for any assistance.

    In order for any of the Apple software to be properly upgraded or updated it must remain in the HD/Applications folder.
    If you move them around or hide them in other folders you're just asking for trouble.

  • How do I remove the watch app from iOS

    I just updated my iOS and now have a watch app icon I can not remove.
    I don't want it there. I don't want an apple watch. I will not be buying an apple watch. It's a waste of memory on my device.
    My phone is not an advertisement space for the marketing of apple's products. I feel it's crossing a line now with the watch app.
    How do I remove this app from my iphone?

    You cannot remove the Watch app. It is a core app like Health, Weather, Compass, etc. Move it to the last page of your Home screens, or put it in a folder if you don't want to see it.
    Cheers,

  • How do I remove a few files from a burn folder?

    I cannot believe I have to ask such a simple question; WHY is everyhting so difficult and complicated with Macs?! I have a DVD in the Mac; I put a number of files into the 'burn folder' which appears automatically. It tells me there are too many files to burn (I have no way of calculating the exact amount to fill the DVD, so have to use trial & error).
    On a Windows PC there would be a little button saying 'remove'; you simply highlight a few folders at a time & click 'remove' - & bingo - they vanish from the folder to be burned. But it seems I have to actually send these 'alias' files to the trash in order to get them out of the burn folder? I saw another discussion on here that suggests this will delete the original files? HOW stupid and badly designed is that?!! I tried sending some to the trash but this takes forever; it does not seem to have deleted the originals, but I would like someone to confirm this please - and please can someone tell me how to delete the contents / some of the contents of a burn folder if I've made a simple mistake in what I've added to it? There HAS to be some way of getting rid of files without deleting the originals - surely?!

    Pardon me for jumping in, but in my experience deleting an alias from a burn folder (or elsewhere) leaves the original intact.  I don't know why deleting the alias files takes so long on your system - on mine, a mid-2011 mini with 8GB RAM running 10.7.5, it happens pretty immediately.  I didn't initially like the Burn Folder concept, but since I've gotten used to it, it's OK - although it seems to add some unnecesary complexity if I want, for example, to move some (but not all) of the files in a folder onto a CD/DVD.
    To delete aliases of files that I don't want burned, I (right-click) (control-click) (two finger tap) on the alias, then select "Move to Trash".  That's not the only way it can be done, of course.
    As baltwo used it, I think "WAG" is supposed to indicate a sort of guess.  A "burning maven" would be a person with extensive knowledge of burning CDs and DVDs on a Mac.  Since none have weighed in, there must be some sort of maven convention going on.
    But, yes, what you've described should work fine.  If you're super concerned about files being deleted when you delete an alias to them and don't have an up-to-date backup, just make a copy of the file (not the alias) in a different folder.
    Good luck

  • Can't remove deleted iPhone apps from Mac

    I haven't been able to find the specific answer to this one.
    After removing an app from my iPhone 4S, I also try to remove it from iTunes on my Macbook Pro (Mavericks 10.9).
    For example, if trying to remove my "CBS" app (see image below)
    Steps to reproduce: Connect phone to Mac > Open iTunes on Mac > iPhone > Apps
    I have the option to "Install" it again, but no option remove or uninstall it completely. The "Remove" button only seems to apply to apps I have kept on my iPhone and do not want to remove e.g. the Fandango, Flixster, HBO GO apps.
    How can I completely remove/uninstall the CBS app from the list of options? It didn't work well and I no longer intend to use it.
    Thanks

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    If you clicked the X on the line with the app's name on the Purchased pane, you have hidden the app in the list. Select Account in the Quick Links to the right of the Mac App Store on the Featured pane and you will find a section in your account details to manage hidden apps.
    The other issue appears to be a glitch some folks encounter in the MAS that is hard to track down. You can try eliminating cache files associated with the MAS and try to track it down or if you plan to upgrade to Mt Lion later this month hope that will eliminate the problem.
