Today was one of those days for this author. There is a simple trick that allows macOS users to re-organize their applications by category rather than by their name or date modified. It’s not the flashiest trick – it’s completely lacks any flash, actually – but it might help you navigate or search your apps more quickly and conveniently.

Mac 10.11.6 limit the speed of a app download. That includes, Books, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Photos, and FaceTime.To find updates for iMovie, Garageband, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and other apps that were downloaded separately from the App Store, open the App Store on your Mac, then click the Updates tab.To automatically install macOS updates in the future, including apps that were downloaded separately from the App Store, select ”Automatically keep my Mac up to date.” Your Mac will notify you when updates require it to restart, so you can always choose to install those later.

• In the first 'Arrange By' dropdown box, select Application Category. This will automatically sort the entire Applications folder into different types of app, with groups including Music, Social.
• Nov 05, 2011  Does anyone know where the Finder app is in Lion? I installed Lion about a week ago. After a week of smooth operation, I accidentally reset the defaults on my Logitech keyboard, so the button that previously pointed to the Finder app no longer does. I was trying to reset it to do so but now I am having difficulty finding where the Finder app resides.

Here’s how it’s done:

1) Open Applications in Finder by typing Shift-Command-a.2) In the Apps window, type Command-j and you will see this window.

3) Choose to arrange the apps by Application Category as seen above and your apps will now be grouped together as Music, Social Networking, Productivity, etc. as seen in the image below.
