The applications folder

• Cannot remove from the applications folder

  Having a problem of deletion of any application in the Applications folder. I use El Capitan 10.11.6.

  If I try and drag any application to the trash or command + DELETE, I get the message 'the point 'whatever' cannot be moved to the trash, because some of its extensions are in use.

  I can delete if I use Option + command + DELETE and enter my password.

  So far I have tried:

  Restart

  First aid in disk utility

  But even in the recovery mode

  Repair of permissions through terminal

  Verified that the application is in fact all running processes

  Content of the application open and plugins will be removed.

  Any ideas?

  Exactly what app (s) you want to delete?

  FWIW, any application installed with the operating system should not be deleted.

  Some third-party applications must be uninstalled from their own uninstall program.

• Files that are opened in a bound iCloud application are instantly copied to the application folder in iCloud.

  When I open a file in any folder in the finder, in an application that is linked to iCloud, i.e. 'Expert PDF' or 'Preview', I opened, the file will be copied to the application folder instantly. This only happens on Mac.

  On Mac, the file appears in the folder something like a shortened (as in the picture):

  

  If I open the mobile application (i.e. PDF Expert) there is a copy of the file in the application folder.

  I first thought that would happen only with Expert PDF, but I discovered that it happens with any application that is enabled in the settings of the iCloud drive. It's really annoying to remove them, every time that you open the. That this feature was actually supposed to do, is create a folder in iCloud drive that is assigned to the application on any device to iCloud.

  Maybe someone knows how to turn it off, or maybe it's just a bug.

  It looks like a feature and not a bug.

  iCloud is not really duplicate files in the files collection of application.  It looks like a file duplicate of the same size as the original, that you have opened, but iCloud is record storage by creating symbolic links. .

  I checked several of apparent duplicates in the Terminal, and if I list the file with the Terminal command

  LS - li somefileoniclouddrive

  I see that the inodes are identical to the original and the duplicate.  So no additional storage is required.

• Have dwnloaded Firefox, but invites to drag in the applications folder does not

  Downloaded Firefox, but invites him to drag the icon to the applications folder does not occur. Please notify. Thank you

  If the disk image file is not opened automatically, then you must open the DMG file yourself.

  Open the Firefox disk image file and drag the Firefox program into the Applications folder on your hard drive.
  Do not double-click the Firefox to run from the disk image, but instead, drag it out of the DMG file.

• File in the applications folder

  I accidentally dragged a + 1 GB MP4 file in my applications folder. When I try to drag the output file, it appears only in my movies folder (or another folder, including the desktop) as an alias of 440 KB. Through the get info (command I) I have reset the permissions so anyone can read/write, but the same problem persists. How can I fix this problem so I can drag the real file on applications and in the movie as a complete file folder? It is a weird scenario I have not experienced before.

  Thank you.

  Hey Danielmak,

  Certainly a strange scenario with your MP4 showing a reduction in the size with a few hundred KBs Alias. Not to worry, this should do the trick for you.

  Try right click on the file that is located in the Apps folder, and then click Copy 'filename '. Once you have copied to the clip board, you can then paste the original file in the folder sequences or according to folder that you choose. After you have copied, open the folder that you copied the file and check it's there and can open as expected. If all is good, you can delete the file you have in the Applications folder to remove it from this place.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. Have a great day!

• Downloaded Firefox and it will work in mode dmg but will not be displayed in the application folder, even if I hang out there.

  It will run fine (but slow) until I got disabling my computer. When I turn it back on, I need to click on the disc image as if it had not been installed.

  Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.

  Open the Firefox disk image file and drag the Firefox program into the Applications folder on your hard drive.
  Do not double-click the Firefox to run from the disk image, but instead, drag it out of the DMG file.

• Add a tag to when they fell into the Applications folder

  Hello

  I want to add tags to my applications for categorization when I drop them into the Applications folder. In my way of novice, I created a folder Automator action where I add Spotlight comments to the app, but that's not what I want to do, I want to label it. The only other option is aimed at Finder label but that gives you just seven color options. I want to have a promt asking me what tag I want to attribute to the request, exactly as it does for the Spotlight comment action. Is this possible with Automator or should I look elsewhere, like AppleScript?

  I have two solutions to bypass, where the first is a combination of Automator and Hazel (probably consume more memory) where I use the Spotlight comment action in Automator and then let Hazel tag of the file via a dynamic tag (comment Spotlight under 'other' element of choice). But it is almost useless, because if I just replace an existing file, the workflow is not triggered, in this case only if a new file is added. How can I make the workflow work on new and existing files? The same thing happens when I use the alternative workaround, I integrate Quicksilver in an Automator workflow to send the item (file) to Quicksilver if I where he can score. Any suggestion is welcome!

  Thanks in advance!

  With or without Automator, AppleScript script would be the way to go.  You'll have the same problem with actions folder be it, however, they are only triggered when a component is added to a watched folder.

  You can use the URL of cocoa class to add your tags - this topic of the mailing list has the script library routines (note that you can use directly in a script of El Capitan).

• Bad icon in the Applications folder - good point about the taskbar

  I installed Firefox. Logo of Firefox to the applications folder, but what is displayed is a different logo, with a white circle and a slash through the circle (as the crossed red circle on one car don't symbolize the 'no parking' on a road sign). When I dragged this logo in the taskbar, the correct Firefox logo appears in the taskbar, but in my file applications, strange logo is still there. Don't know if this means that there is a problem with the installation - were displayed no error message during the installation.

  • Remove the Firefox icon from the dock.
  • Create a new icon by dragging the Firefox application to the dock.

• Unable to complete step 2 (icon drag in the applications folder) when upgrading Firefox

  I'm going through Firefox 3.6.11 to 3.6.12.

  Step 2 of the process says "drag the Firefox icon in your applications icon.

  First problem: I do not have an icon of applications. Second problem, being creative I open Finder on my Mac and try to drag the Firefox icon in the applications folder. Will not work. Shows that I have Firefox 3.6.11 so I can't after step 2.

  The second problem is that the download with the three steps screen constantly fills the screen. So there is nowhere to display an icon requests drag the Firefox icon in. Whenever I click on the icon in step 2, the screen optimizes and covers nothing under it.

  Any suggestions?

• Skype not opening after having moved to the Applications folder

  Back a few months ago, I downloaded Skype on my computer. I was still pretty unfamiliar with the Mac at the time, so I was not very well what to do with the dmg that I got. Simply do not know better, I ended up launching Skype from the dmg. That's how I used Skype until very recently. A few months after this happened, I learned that you were supposed to copy the application in the Applications folder on the dmg. However I did not worth to fix this error until now (in order to remove this disk image of Skype sitting there). I deleted the Skype of the dmg icon on my dock and copied in the Applications folder. I then tried to run, but it crashed before it could do something. The main window of Skype did not appear.

  If it's worth anything, there is a very old version of Skype on this computer, the surplus of when a member of the family used a few years ago. However Skype on the dmg would be fine, so I doubt that this could be the culprit.

  I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on an iMac 27-inch Mid-2010.

  We always recommend to install the latest version of Skype... That said, try this: download the latest version by clicking on the link at the top of this forum page downloads. Then, open the Skype.dmg file you will find in your downloads folder. Drag and drop the Skype icon to the icon of the folder Applications in THIS WINDOW. This will install Skype. Subsequently, you will find Skype (the application) in the Applications folder on your hard drive, where you can start. Once it launches, click right (or click/hold) Skype in the Dock icon and select Options. Choose to keep Skype in the Dock, and it will fortunately still live there then.

• Move applications from the applications folder

  I just want all stuff in public services, as I used to (I used to just make things out in Applications when I had to update and then put them back where I wanted them). It is at least three years, and I always find a pain whenever I'm looking for an application to search through applications and utilities.

  The integrity of the system power off did not help. I continue to be tempted by Linux, but this would involve a lot of self-tutorial of computer programming. With this in mind, please explain technical terms in your answers.

  In any case, thank you.

  You can not just open the Applications folder in the Finder, press command + A to select all, command + C to copy, then open the Utilities folder and press Command + V to paste in?  You can then delete the copies located in the Applications folder, so you do not have two of everything.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Gmail App not in the Applications folder

  Hi, I just got my 8900 yesterday.  To get the full support of the Gmail IMAP, I downloaded the Gmail app from http://m.google.com/mail.  It seems to work perfectly, except for the fact that I don't see anywhere on the app icon in my Applications folder.  The only way I can start using the BlackBerry menu and then select 'Application Switch.'

  How can I get it in my folder of Applications so I can put it on my home screen?

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  By default, GMail usually goes in the folder downloads rather than in the Applications folder. Once you find it, you should be able to move the icon where you want - just highlight (don't click), then press the BBKey... There should be options 'Move' and 'move to folder '.

  See you soon!

• Several shortcuts to the Applications folder

  Facts:

  -J' had originally installed Windows XP in bootcamp

  -J' imported in VMWare Fusion and deleted the partition boot camp

  Problem:

  -As of late, I'll have several shortcuts for an application in the Package of merger of VMWare (see image)

  -J' even had microsoft Word opens as "Microsoft Word - Windows XP 4.  I don't have a VM installed and a copy of Microsoft Word.

  

  Question:

  Is having multiple instances of an icon agreement?  Is there a way to reset the icons in the folder applications/package?

  Thank you

  Steve

  That's what I would do to try to solve this problem...

  1 stop, suspend, the goal of the Virtual Machine.

  2. uncheck the 'Allow your Mac to open applications in the virtual machine' box sub-applications shared on the sheet of sharing in the settings for the target of the Virtual Machine and then close merger.

  3. now delete the application folder that is in the package of the target Virtual Machine, and then empty the trash.  Note that it is safe to delete the applications folder and support within the whole of the VM of the target, as it will be recreated automatically once the shared Applications settings are set on "allow your Mac to open applications in the machine virtual '.

  4. start the merger and then check the box "Allow your Mac to open applications in the virtual machine", and then start the Virtual Machine to target.

• Dock icons have been removed, but appear in the Applications folder

  Hi, I ve had some problems with the dock icons. Since yesterday I can't see native IOS icons like finder, mail or launchpad. However, I checked my app folder and here they are with the same problem. No native applications as google chrome has had the same problem, but once I have check the option 'get info' allowing the application I have fixed the copy of the problem and paste the icon. When I try with native applications, I could not. I don't know if it's a virus or what, but my macBook takes longer to rise. You have the same problem? You have to be able to help me?

  

  In assuming that you already restarted your Mac, try the secure boot mode.

  Stop your Mac. Use the power button if you wish. Now start with the SHIFT key is pressed. This will start in Safe Mode, with all extensions turned off. Safe mode is slow to start, so give it time, it checks a lot of staff. If it works fine in Safe Mode, restart normally. If it works now, you are finished.

  If the problem comes back after a reboot, you have an extension conflict. Disable all extensions via system preferences. To isolate which extension is at fault, turn on an extension at the same time, restart in the meantime, until you find the bad Apple.
