Why does moving application in Finder create duplicate application?

More importantly, how can I stop this "feature?"
I like to organize my apps. I would put those related to word processing in a "text" folder; those related to still or video images in an "images" folder, audio files in "sounds."
But I've noticed that, in Mountain Lion, if/when I drag an app to one of these folders, it leaves the original where it was and creates a duplicate in the folder.
Any way to stop this?

Problems you will experience moving apps from Applications or Utilities.
Any App installed by an installer, will either not update when updates are available or you will get a duplicate back in Applications or Utilities after running the update utility.
This can cause problems because you may continue to run the older duplication and either not get new functionality (or bug fixes) that you expect to see.  Very frustrating.
Things may go along fine, until the next Mac OS X upgrade, then the old version of the app may start crashing because of changes to Mac OS X that the app depended upon have changed.
Another problem.  There are apps that will use other apps, for example Mail may access Contacts, or there are apps that access System Preferences, etc...   All of these interconnections wil fail if the dependent app cannot be found in its expected location.
You are not the only one that can be anal about where things belong.
The above examples are based on seeing users have these problems, many of which do not appear until months later, long after forgetting you moved things around and did not discover a duplicate was unintentionally created.
If you dragged an app to Applications or Utilities, then you are free to move that around to your hearts content.  HOWEVER, if an installer placed the app in Applications or Utilities, it is best to leave it alone.
The use of Aliases which you can place anywhere you like, rename the alias as you please, even have multiple aliaes for the same app in different locations is a much more flexible and safer approach to organizing your apps.
It's my da*ned computer and I want to be able to do with it as I please. If I delete key files and folders, well then I have no one to blame but me.
Years ago, had the great good fortune to have to work in a UNIX environment. I learned what computing without a net is all about. . . .
Well then don't let us stand in your way .  Fire up Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal, and you are in a Unix world.  Use the 'sudo' command (see "man sudo") to get elavated privileges and have at it.
Although I suggest you have a full backup and save it away before you start using that 'sudo' command.

  • Why does my iCloud photo stream create duplicates of every photo?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Air, on which I store all my photos.
    I routinely export my photos from my iOS devices to my MacBook Air, and view whatever photos that I have through photo stream.
    On my iOS device and MacBook, though, every photo has a duplicate of itself, even though in the main library I only have one of each photo—no duplicates at all.
    Why are duplicates showing up in my iCloud photo stream even though I have no duplicates in the actual library itself?

    Hello ambenlandry,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why does my application give SerializationException although I have no serialized classes?

    I have created an application deployment tool for BizTalk, and it references and uses Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM apis to start, stop and manage a BizTalk application. Now when I run the tool, it gives following exception-
    Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Type 'Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer' in Assembly 'Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' is not marked as serializable.
    None of my classes are defined to be serializable. And the tool is created in WPF. Any idea how I might resolve this?

    Hi,
    I think the user has got this resolved at stackoverflow already.
    Why does my application give SerializationException although I have no serialized classes?
    Resolution: He was creating the instance of BtsCatalogExplorer through reflection, using connection
    string instead solves the issue.

  • Why does my application icons have a cirle with a slash on them?

    why does my application icons have a cirle with a slash on them?

    That means those applications cannot be run on your computer.
    There are many different reasons why that situation could arise, but without more information all we can do is speculate / guess. For example, you upgraded the OS and the apps will not run in the new OS.
    If you need more specific answers.ost back with more information, e.g. what version of Mac OS X? when did this first occur?

  • Why does moving the cursor peg the cpu in numbers?

    Why does moving the cursor, even by one cell, peg the cpu in numbers?

    Hello
    Before posting yesterdays, I tested with a table of 4435 x 8 cells on the iMac described below.
    I will be more precise than yesterdays.
    Numbers recalculate the entire document after every change. A single new character is sufficient.
    Twenty years ago, AppleWorks designers were kind enough to recalculate only what really needed.
    It seems that new developers are not relying upon intelligence but upon processor's brute force.
    Their code will be efficient … on the machines which will be available within at least five years.
    Alas, at this time there will no longer be compatible with the operating system.
    Given this awful coding, when AutoSave apply, it must write on disk an entire new index.xml file.
    Same thing when Versions apply.
    Under SnowLeopard these two features don't strike.
    If you wish, you may send your 'offending' document to my mailbox so I will be able to check the way it behave here. Don’t worry, I don't take care of what is really stored, only of the doc's behavior.

  • Why does Build Application vi work in development environment but not in executable; error 1025

    Hello,
    I have an application ("A") that I am trying to build using another application ("BuildA").
    I can create an application for A manually from its project using the Build Specification, and it works fine (A.exe).
    Also, when I run BuildA.vi in the development environment it calls the "Build.vi" correctly and again builds application A.exe just fine.
    Then, when I make BuildA an application (manually) and run BuildA.exe, I would expect it to also create A.exe just like BuildA.vi did in the development environment.
    However, it fails with the error:
    Code: 1025
    Open VI Reference in NI_App_Builder_API.lvlib:Build (path).vi->BuildA.vi<APPEND>
    VI Path: <b>C:\TEMP\AppBuild\BuildA\vi.lib\AppBuilder\BuildTarget.vi</b>
    I noticed this thread , which looks like a similar problem, but no conclusion was reached.
    Why does BuildA.vi work fine in the LabVIEW environment, but the application BuildA.exe does not work?  All paths are hard-coded, so it shouldn't be a path issue.
    Thanks,

    Interesting code.  I'm curious how you came to decide 324ms in your while loop, and 58 in the other, and then 5136ms at the end.  In any case I suspect this has to do with this line of text in the help of the Build.vi.
    If you plan to run a build specification on the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, do not include the Build VI in any of the VIs for the build specification.
    I don't fully know what this means but it might be why it isn't working.
    The Build.vi opens all Context (application instances) and then looks for the one named "NI.LV.MxLvProvider".  This I assume is a application instance NI uses to build applications.  It then uses this and opens some other VIs in this instance for the building.  The error you are getting is "Application Reference is invalid" meaning it couldn't find the NI.LV.MxLvProvider instance it needs to build.  Again I believe this maybe because you are in a run-time environment and that instance doesn't exist there.
    At the end of the day I'm guessing since Application Builder is not free, NI probably doesn't include it in the Run-Time engine, which is free.  So you can't build the way you want.  You could have and EXE running in the run-time open an instance in the development, then run your VI from there if you must make this an EXE.  It maybe easier to just edit the BuildA.vi to have a "Run When Opened" so that you double click the VI and it runs which behaves like an EXE sorta.

  • CMP Beans from Tables: Why does the Container try to create new tables?

    I'm trying to develop an EJB application using JDeveloper on 9iAS. I have several CMPs and have my tables that I want my CMPs to be based on already defined in my DB schema. I want to use CMP but I don't want the Container to create the tables, rather I want the Container to map my CMP EJBs to the already existing tables.
    The issue is:
    While creating these CMP EJBs in JDeveloper I chose the "New Enterprise Java Bean" EJB creation wizard using the option labeled "Container-managed Entity Beans from Tables". My assumption is that this does what I want, because the wizard prompts for a schema and table you want to map to. Then it creates the attributes & getter/setter methods, PK class, etc. all based on the table defintion automatically. Great. So why when I try to run my application do I get error messages for each EJB such as:
    Auto-creating table: create table STREET_TYPE (PK_STYP_ID NUMBER(8), STREET_TYPE VARCHAR2(20), primary key (PK_STYP_ID, STREET_TYPE))
    Warning: Error creating table: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
    Huh?? I thought the idea is that the CMP EJB is mapped to the existing table in my schema. Why is the Container trying to create new tables?? Is this possible? Or am I missing something fundamental about how Containers create and manage CMPs? Or is this just a JDevelop container issue? TIA

    I presume you are getting the problem on application
    deploy? This happens when upon initialization of the application using the built-in OC4J container/app server that is part of JDeveloper. Here is the full messaging:

  • Does copying in music files create duplicates?

    After installing iTunes 11 I found that my music and video were all listed with the ! (exclamation mark) and I had no access to them and the message "the original file cannot be found....." (Only the few that I had bought from the iTunes store were still accessible - the ones copied from CDs etc were not).   I tried to locate the orignal files but it seemed that the music and video files were nowhere to be found.  So I copied in my 1,080 music files and 16 video files from an external back up, and it now works ok.  But by copying in the music and video files have I now created duplicates?  Are the original files still hidden somewhere taking up space on my HD?  How would I check on that?

    Normally an installation should not delete files.  Occasionally people here have reported it did for them.  Since it shouldn't, we don't know why it would.  It's good you had a backup.
    If you use iTunes default preference settings (i.e., if you have not changed them you do) it should put all your media in a Media folder in your Music > iTunes.  Since you are seeing ! something has happened to cause the reference in the main iTunes library database file to have a bad reference for where your media files are located.  So either the files have gone missing or were moved (by you) to a place where iTunes' addressbook is incorrect, or something happened during the updating of the library file to result in bad references.
    Look in your iTunes Media folder and see how many copies you have of files.  Use Spotlight to search for a track you know exists and see if there is more than one copy on your computer.
    If you now have a lot of dead links in your library look at: Super Remove Dead Tracks - http://dougscripts.com/212 then type "super remove dead" into the search line to get to the free Applescript rather than the app.

  • Why does Reader 9 not find Reader X as an update?

    When I check for updates through Reader 9 I am told that "No Updates Available". Reader X has been out for months now, so why does Adobe's own product not recognize their own update?  It is so infuriating that these kinds of basic things can never simply be problem free.

    Hello,
    Adobe Reader X in not an update to Adobe Reader 9, its an upgrade version of Adobe Reader 9
    Updates apply to the same version, for example :
    1) Latest update for Adobe Reader 9 is 9.4
    2) Latest Update for Adobe Reader 10 is 10.0.1

  • Why does LabVIEW Application Builder 8.0.1 create an executable that will not run?

    My VI runs perfectly.  But when I generate the executable, it will not run.  I get a "File Not Found" error.  The file it can't find is "File Open+.VI" from vi.lib.  I've tried copying File Open+.vi into my project.  If still generates the same error.

    There error is coming out of FlowCal Server.  You use the current VI path to build up the file paths.  That works great in development but when you compile a VI into an exe, an extra layer is added.  See this KB http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/FD7DE8BC8FFC256C862565F4006BE363?OpenDocument
    So when its an exe you need to strip the path one more time.

  • Why does moving the mouse over an IMAQ image display slow the GUI down so much?

    I have a large application with several vi's running simultaneously under labview 8.6.1.  When I mouse over an image display control in one of the vi's, everything slows down a shocking amount in all the other vi's.  The windows task manager does not show a large increase in CPU use.  My pc is has a quad cpu with 4GB of RAM, and the CPU and memory loads do not appear to be terribly taxing to the system.  However, many of my vi's apparently come almost to a standstill if I just move the mouse in a circle around my image control.
    This looks like it is largely a GUI display issue.  If I make a new vi and put a while loop in it that only displays the iteration loop number to an indicator, I can see the iterating occurring, then stopping totally when I mouse inside the image display control.  When I stop moving the mouse inside the control, or when I move it outside the control, the interation loop number jumps up, as if it had been incrementing behind the scenes the whole time.  So only display of the interating was halted.
    This problem occurs even if the vi with the image control is not executing.  If the vi with the image control is open but not running, and I mouse over the image on it, the other guis all come to a screeching halt.
    Does mousing in the image display control really utterly crush all other guis in all other labview windows?  Is this an issue inherent to the image display control?  If so, is there anything I can do about this? 
    Also, this issue is not entirely limited to display.  I started looking at it in greater detail because this issue also exposed what I think is a race condition in my code.  I have a vi that acquires an image from a ccd and puts it into an IMAQ image.ctl.  This image then gets passed up to a vi up the call chain, and is put on a queue and sent over to be de-queued by a vi that has the image display control.  Here's the kicker:  when I mouse over the image display control, the image successfully gets acquired inside the subvi, and if I probe the wire leading to the output IMAQ image display.ctl, I see the image.  If I simultaneously probe the wire coming out of the subvi one level up the call chain, the image gets lost about half the time.  This only happens if I am mousing in the image display control IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND SEPARATE VI.  If I bump up the priority of the ccd image acquisition vi to 'highest priority', the problem only happens about 1% of the time, and I really have to mouse around to make it happen.  Still, it's disturbing that mousing in the GUI in one window results in a failure of a separate subvi to simply pass an image up the call chain.  I understand that IMAQ images are referenced rather than passed by value, but I don't see why there should be a failure to pass the image up the call chain.  I've looked for a race condition, but can't find one.
    Eric

    I have finally been able to replicate the behavior that you are seeing on another computer once the image was large enough.  Here are a few notes about this behavior:
    First. The UI only slows down when the images are large, 16 bit images.  The reason why this is unique to 16 bit images is that they can only be displayed on the front panel as 8 bit images.  The workaround that Weiyuan suggested to change the 16 bit display mapping hints towards the root of the problem...that any time a mouse runs over the indicator, Windows asks the entire image to re-draw (having a separate indicator overlapping the image will create the same behavior).  With a 16 bit image, not only does the image have to re-draw on the screen but the 16 bit pixels need to be mapped to 8 bits.  When setting the 16 bit display mapping to Full Dynamic, this requires mor computation/pixel than 90% dynamic or one of the other mapping schemes.
    This is expected behavior if your program is running and you're trying to display a large 16 bit image.  To fix this behavior there are a couple options:
    Change the 16 bit display mapping to something other than full dynamic.  You can choose which 8 bits to display or if you want to map the bits. 
    Resize the image just for viewing purposes on your front panel (since you aren't going to view every single pixel of you image on the screen). You can use the IMAQ Resample.vi to do this.  This will allow you to take your 1500x1500 pixel image and only display a 500x500 pixel version.
    If you are interested in viewing small details of the large image, consider just displaying a smaller region of interest at a time.
    Let me know if any of these solutions work for you.  Good luck on your application.

  • Finder creating duplicates of media files

    When i import movies and pictures from my camera, single copies appear in iphoto. However in the finder i see duplicates and sometimes triplets of photos in movies. I've tried deleting the duplicates but then the file appears corrupted in iphoto. I would like to clear out some hard drive space and would like to prevent this from happening in the future. Any ideas?

    In general:
    - The best way to check if files are in a library is to drag the whole media folder to the library.  If something was missed it will be added.  If it is in the library is won't be added a second time.
    - If you have a second copy of a file and iTunes does not currently list that specific file in its database then even if it is identical to one already in the database it will add it a second time.  So if you have file xyz on the internal drive and the external drive and add them to iTunes you will end up with two entries for the same thing in iTunes because you really do have to copies of the files.  While this can happen with two copies on a single drive, it will almost definitely be the case when you have a copy of a file on two drives because iTunes really sees them as two different things.
    -Unless you know how iTunes works, avoid moving files yourself.  Let the consolidate feature do all the file moving.  Manually moving files can really mess up iTunes unless you know what you are doing and have iTunes set to not try to do it itself.
    - There's no clean and easy way to delete duplicates.  The best thing is to change practice so you don't create them.   Here are  references:

  • Is there a setting such that the application closes (quits) when the (last) file is closed? Why does the application remain active when there are no files for it open?

    I honestly did try to find my own answer, but cannot.  Not sure why a simple question would have its answer so difficult to find. I'd just like the application to simply close after the last file is closed.  It seems strange to have the application remain active.  Thanks for your help.

    It's also a bit strange that even though I searched throughout the community for questions like this......so that I wouldn't take up space for something already discussed........that immediately after I posted my question, the "
    More Like This" side window comes up that describes questions just like mine. 
    So, sorry to have bothered anyone with having to read another duplicate question.  I see that the answer to my first question is "No", and there's likely not a good answer for "Why".
    Thanks anyway.

  • Why does Xcode4 always crash on create/open project?

    Xcode4 Final, always crashes when I try to create or open a project.
    some history:
    did not used the proper script to remove Xcode3, I deleted /Developer and rebooted
    Xcode4 installed, removed with correct script. (3+ times)
    tried to remove all xcode/developer files using locate/find.
    tried to make an as clean new Xcode4 install.
    Now the only thing i can think of is remove xcode4, locate any developer rest files. reboot, install xcode3 : now use the xcode3 uninstaller, reboot and install xcode 4.
