- Hold down the Command key
and drag the app from the main
Applications folder into your personal
one. (You must hold down Command
or macOS will create an alias instead
of moving the app.) - You may be prompted to enter an
administrative password, or if you
have a Mac with Touch ID, to validate
the move with a fingertip.
This doesn’t prevent another
user from installing the same app, if
they have access to an installer or
download, into the main Applications
folder or for themselves, however.HOW TO PROPERLY
LOG YOUR DEVICES
OUT OF iCLOUD
There are many occasions on which
you need to sign out of iCloud on
a device. Maybe you’re returning it
to an employer, sending it to Appleor another
company
for trade-in
credit, handing
it down to a
family member,
selling it, or
recycle the
failing unit.
If you used
iCloud on that device, Apple has tied
a lot of your identity to the device,
including synced data and making
services available on your hardware.
iPhones, iPads, Macs and Watches
with a Secure Enclave may also have
Activation Lock enabled if you have
Find My turned on. (Apple builds
Secure Enclave into a large range of
its hardware. This includes all iPhones
starting with the iPhone 5s, all Intel
Macs with a T1 or T2 Security Chip,
and all M1 Apple silicon Macs. You
can see a list at fave.co/2Vv01ST.)
You can sign out from any device,
but take care with the next step:- In iOS and iPadOS, go to Settings >
account name and tap Sign Out. This
signs out any Watch associated with
an iPhone, too. - In macOS 10.14 Mojave and earlier,
open the iCloud preference pane and
click Sign Out.
