Apps · Moving apps to your fast drive
What do Waiting, Preparing, Copying and Wrapping up mean during an app move?
Short answer: Waiting means queued, Preparing is the safety check, Copying is the copy to your fast drive, and Wrapping up verifies it and places the shortcut. Failed rows explain why when clicked.
They're the stages of a move, shown live on the app's row:
- Waiting — queued behind another move.
- Preparing… — checking the app and the drive before anything is copied.
- Copying… — copying the app to your fast drive.
- Wrapping up… — verifying the copy and putting the shortcut in place.
If a move can't finish, the row says Failed — see details; click it for the reason and how to fix it. Your original app is kept safe in that case.
