Applications installed on an external drive closed

I install most of my applications on an external drive of compartmentalized. (ie. not on disk internal C:\.)   I recently started having problems with applications that have been updated to a version/version 2011.  A single application for the preparation of tax returns, cannot print a full return, but it will print the individual & related forms within the tax return.  Another application cannot update a file of historical monetary values.  These seem to be the only problems.  All the features that I usually use in applications appear to be correct and compatible with the earlier versions.

The answer I get from online support for these applications, is that they assume that the applications are installed on the C:\ drive and they solve the problems they are settled elsewhere.  I ran these applications for several years, installed on the external hard drive, no problem.  However when I run now even versions of previous years, I met these same problems.  Applications, freeze, crash, etc.  It can be concluded that it is linked to an update for Windows - rather than applications. Any suggestions

  • CS6 and CC applications installed on my hard drive.

    Today, the two suites apllication are installed on my computer.

    I'll delete the CS6 applications?

    What are the consequences?

    If you remove (disable first - help > deactivate), you will not be able to use all of the cs6 applications.  that will affect your ability to use cc applications.

    but I recommend you wait a month or two to see if you have a need for applications cs6.  If you share files that you create with adobe applications that if you think you need a few apps cs6 to save in a version that is needed by someone else.  or sometimes features in an older version not added to new versions.  If you need these features, you will need to use for cs6 application.

  • Dreamweaver on external drive

    I need advice on the performance of DW, installed on an external drive connected by usb to a desktop PC.  I have massive amounts of data from the site, etc. image files and need to travel. What is practical or even possible?

    It's faster, simple mathematics.  External drives are generally lower RPMs and cache.  It will be closer if you use a new laptop with USB 3, but mind USB 2.0 on this subject. Wake Forest University did a study on that as well ( http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/atg/disk/usb3/ ) and their study SATA150 readers.  Regardless of the program and not only for DW, I always recommend installing applications internally and put the files on the network, server, or external if there are many of them.

  • Creating a new iTunes merged on external drive library

    I'm currently using 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1 - I got lots and lots of problems with iTunes and libraries corrupt and have got to the point where I did all my playlists and so on are lost.

    I'm done with all my music files shared between two folders - there are duplicates between these records, but as far as I know, nothing is actually missing. As I don't have enough space on the hard drive of the current computer to consolidate those two files, I have them have copied onto an external hard drive - now I want to consolidate the library on the external hard drive in order to pass all the music to a new version of iTunes on my new iMac.

    Can someone tell me how can I do? I guess I need to move the iTunes application itself on the external drive to consolidate the two music files here - it is a simple process, and it will work?

    First of all, you must certainly not move the application iTunes itself.  Secondly, as you said you copied your separate music files on the external hard drive you should still have them in their location of origin - otherwise, you should copy them back again before proceeding and make sure you can always play your music in iTunes.  The function of the iTunes "Consolidate library" is to copy the media files from their current locations to another of your choice, and update the iTunes database so that all references to the location of your media files are correctly updated.

    The correct procedure to follow is:

    1. External hard disk, create a folder called "iTunes", then in this folder, create one called "iTunes Media.
    2. In iTunes, select iTunes > Preferences > advanced, and then change the setting for the iTunes Media folder iTunes/iTunes Media on your external drive
    3. Now select file > library > organize a library..., check the files to consolidate and, if not grayed, the reorganize files.. box
    4. Click OK - iTunes won't copy each multimedia file that is located in a valid entry in your database for iTunes to the hierarchy of standard folder in iTunes/iTunes Media external hard disk
    5. Once this process is complete, check that your music plays again - when you have verified the results, you can then delete the original files that iTunes has just copied your media since.

    This will produce a working library with all media on the external hard drive, as you have described.  However, at this point, you have a shared library with the database of iTunes and other data to support on a single disc and your media on another.  Manipulation of backups, migrating to a new computer, replication to other computers, etc., works best if you have the complete library on the external hard drive - see tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

  • GarageBand installed in external drive

    Hi all

    I'm running out of disk space on my MacBook Air. But I wanted to install GarageBand inside. The normal procedure is, I move the Garabeband application in the Applications folder, and when I run it first, it tries to download audio files. Problem is that there is not enough storage to all audio files, so the process will fail to half way through. I tried to move the application on an external hard drive and run it from there, but I think he's still trying to download the audio files to my library in the local storage of SSDS. I've read a few articles and did some searching on Google that explains that once you have installed and downloaded files, you can create a symbolic link and move these audio files on an external drive. My problem is that I don't yet have a facility of GarageBand.

    Please can you me the paths of standard files, so I can create symbolic links and I have garage band download the audio files on my external hard drive? Is there another process that would make me run garageBand?

    Thank you all,.

    F

    PS: A question side fast, I downloaded GarageBand for my iPhone and took the app in purchase to unlock everything. I love the app! Is it possible to get more instruments? Several agreements and tonal characteristics or these sequences of AutoPlay?

    GarageBand strives to install in two places - open folder/library at the top level of your system drive.

    Open the "Application Support" folder, there should be a GarageBand file inside.

    And library should contain a folder "Audio" with folders for loops.

    Has GarageBand already created partial files for this?

  • You want to move install Bootcamp or VM VMWare on the external drive and run it from there.

    I have two versions of Windows 7 on my iMac 24 "4 GB. One is a Bootcamp of Win 7 Professional installation.  One is a computer virtual from Windows 7 in VMWare Mac OSX. The two windows installs work well (the Bootcamp we're NOT accessible through VMWare right now).

    I want to do is get AN installation running on a partition on the external drive I connected. I have 3 partitions on a disk of T 1.  A 500 GB for Time Machine and 2 250 GB, Mac OSX and a Fat32.

    What I wish really is a straight Win BOOTABLE install on Fat 32 partitions, but will sag to move the VMWare installation to the outside OSX partition.

    Are there ways to do?  I thought Winclone, but as it is in oblivion I don't know about use.

    Any ideas?

  • How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

    I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts

  • IMac, re - install El Capitan-wants to load on external drive

    Late 2009 Imac. 16 RAM, HD 1 T.  El Capitan.

  • Can I install Boot Camp/Windows 7 completely on an external drive?

    My MBP has an inside 128 GB SSD, and insists on the creation of a 50 GB partition on it in order to install Boot Camp Boot Camp.  This would force me to erase most of what I have installed.

    Is it possible to force the Boot Camp Assistant to install on an external USB3 Western Digital 1 TB Passport drive I have?

    I have a 27 "iMac Intel i7 El Capitan running. I also have a still-good G5 that I use every day. I want to (re) install 10.5.8 on the G5, because he had a hardware failure and start the system has failed. I removed the hard drive to start the G5 chassis, put it in an external hard drive enclosure and that connected to the iMac. Disk utility indicates that the drive is OK. The idea was to make the external start G5 drive temporarily, install the OS then remove the external hard drive chassis and put it back into the chassis of the G5. USB external hard drive boot G5 drive is loaded right now is, I don't have the installation provided with my G5 discs.

    I have a 10.5.8 install image I d / Apple editing, but when I run it, he said "this software requires Mac OS X 10.5 to install.

    How can I convince the i7 iMac install 10.5.8 on this external drive?

    You need a compatible installation DVD to perform the installation on the G5 and connect the drive to the computer internally or through FireWire.

  • Install Windows 8 on external drive Thunderbolt - Windows could not prepare the computer to begin the next phase of installation

    Hi all

    I'm at my wit's end trying to install windows 8. Let me start at the beginning: I used to have windows running on my Mac Pro ssd internal 8.1, installed via bootcamp. It worked well for a while, and then refused to start, gives me a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Despite some advice from lonely T, I was unable to fix and ended up wiping the partition and relocation, again via bootcamp. Yet once again, it worked for a few months, then the same problem. I made this one last time, and it only lasted 2 days... So I gave bootcamp.

    I think that the hybrid MBR partition scheme that implements bootcamp is the culprit, but I don't really have evidence to substantiate this claim. In any case, I tried to install windows in EFI mode. (If I understand correctly, the hybrid MBR is set up to allow windows to install in legacy BIOS mode, but that windows 8 may now install efi, which supports my Mac Pro mode.) My Mac is the new Mac Pro (end of 2013, trash in shape), and I can say short UEFI 2.0 (I have the latest efi update from apple installed).

    The method I'm trying:

    1. create a new partition in HFS + on my external drive using disk utility. The drive has now it's efi partition and partition empty 750Go I want to install windows a 1.25 TB storage partition that I use with my mac. It has a GPT. I formatted HFS + and no FAT, because I think that disk utility creates the same hybrid-MBR as training camp every time a FAT partition is created.

    2. use gdisk to confirm that the disc does not have a hybrid-MBR. (sudo/dev/disk1 gdisk watch MBR: protection)

    3 restart my mac and hold the possibility to put in place to bring up the boot efi menu.

    4. Select the EFI_Boot DVD icon (that's the windows 8 install dvd that I have in my superdrive USB drive)

    5. go in the menus of the disk selection screen installation and delete the partition in HFS +, I created to install windows on (the format option is not available)

    6. now select "Unallocated space" on the good drive and click Next.

    The problem:

    Partitioning seems to go ok (there is no feedback on this basis, but it proceeds to the next screen, and all new partitions expected are there if I check diskutil list later). He said it is "copy of windows files", but then stops with the error "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. "If I restart, I can start the same process all over again and get the same result.

    The Question:

    How I get this error and get windows install?

    Extra pieces:

    • The first time it happened I assumed it was the new sip / thing "without roots" in El Capitan, causing problems, then I disabled, but I still get the same error.
    • After reviewing the diskutil list output after one of installs it without success, I found that a labeled EFI partition has been created after my storage partition (the original efi partition was still there in the upper part of the disc).
    • I have windows 8.1 installed now bootcamp on my internal ssd. It was planned to use it and winToUSB to put windows on my crush, but I found that it only works with usb2. I do not have installed could cause problems with the installation on another disk.
    • Before say you I can't run windows on an external, yes you can, and many people have. I read windows sees thunderbolt internal disks.
    • I read a few other posts on this and other sites on this problem, but could not find a pertitnant solution to my situation. I found one that suggested to remove the efi on my disk partition, but that seemed like a bad idea, so I didn't try.
    • I write this at 1 in the morning after a day spent in front of the computer trying to get this working, so please excuse typos typing or other. I am pleased to provide you with any pertinant information helping you will help me.
    • Thank you!

    The other thing I tried also almost succeeded:

    Although I prefer to get the method above works, because it seems the most promising, is something else, I've tried that I thought worth mentioning. If you offer advice pertaining to this method rather than the above, I would appreciate it if you could explicitly declare that at the top of your answer. Thank you.

    I tried to install windows on the physical disk using vmware and virtual box. The instrutctions I followed for this can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 (the only thing different, it's because it's on an external drive, I created the Fat 32 partition manually using disk utility). The first time (using vmware) installation seems to go off without a hitch, but I couldn't get my computer to see the windows partition as bootable with the boot efi menu hold-option regular refined or with system preferences-> startup disk. I think that I was using always inadvertently a hybrid-MBR at this stage. I tried to repeat this new beginning with the first two steps above to avoid the hybrid-MBR. But now when I try to create the virtual machine based on the gross vmdk, it starts to copy the files then says not sufficient permissions and fails. I don't know if it's a permission with the disk or the hard problem. I tried chmod 777 and chown $USER of the vmdk disk (/ dev/disk1s3) does not.

    Wow, that was a long post...

    1. when a second drive is detected by the Windows Setup program, he wants to create his own brand of EFI (104 MB) and not to mess with the Mac EFI (200 MB). You can force it to use the EFI to the Mac using Diskpart commands.

    2 instead of HFS/FAT32, create a piece of 750 GB free space and it should only get a new MSR/MSD, without the part of EFI.

    3. on your VM method, the link you have is quite old. You have a MP 2013, with references to the 2010 Mac alumni and is a bit too archaic to be useful. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-Windows-7-partition-on-Mac-OSX-Wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... seems to work for many and can be useful for a test.
