I want to move Applications folder to my external SSD but I do not know if Mac OS X likes that.

The easiest way of doing it is the following:
- Move the content of your
Applications
folder, leaving the folder untouched. - Symlink every file in your new folder.
And example, let's you want to move the Calendar.app
:
mv /Applications/Calendar.app /yourssd/Applications
ln -s /yourssd/Applications /Applications/Calendar.app
Then you will be able to execute calendar as usual.

If I remember well, I believe that you won't be able to move all apps.– jherranFeb 27, 2015 at 7:09
