Keep old versions of CS on external hard drive?

I saw a discussion on that, but I always want to ask.

I have CS3 and CS5 enabled on my internal drive. I am about to install CS6.

I'm nervous about to uninstall older versions because I need backward compatibility when customers send me from their older versions of CS docs; also when I need to send something to them that they can read.

Best of cases, seems to me: movement enabled older versions on an external drive where they can sit quietly and road in case I need it.

Can I do this? Is there a best practice for implementation?

installation of adobe apps on non-main drives can be made, but often is problematic.  unless you run lack of space on your primary drive, you must leave older versions in place.

There is no problem with previous versions, works well with the current versions of adobe app.  I have flash cs3 pro, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, cc and the next beta all work without problem.

  • Cannot get old backup files in the external hard drive

    Separated from this thread.

    I'm having the same problem - I did a file with windows vista and then put backup.exe at level to windows 7 and now I can't see my files. Help!

    Windows 7 can read files from Vista backup natively as they both use the same backup engine. However the files generated by the backup and restore are not .exe files

    You must run backup and restore and then access the backup image to open it.

  • How to restore a back up on top of an external hard drive

    Hello.  I just got a new laptop from HP windows 8 and you want to restore a back up I took my old HP laptop on an external hard drive.  When I plug the hard drive, the ups return display in the file Explorer, but I can't find a way to restore the backup to the new laptop, the only option I can find is to know how to put in place to save on the hard drive and restore the files that I've just saved from the new laptop.  There is nothing really on the new computer laptop so it doesn't matter if I lose these (and they are now saved when even!), its mainly pictures and iTunes on the back up, a few old excel & word files I think.  When I click on Explorer the external hard drive in the file, there is a PC owner icon that shows a folder named Backup set & the date, he didn't save folders of files for various dates, in the most recent are the backup files 1 & backup files 2, from 2012.

    How can I get these on the new laptop?  I can't take another back up as the old laptop crashed and lost everything, where the need to get this back up to the new computer.

    Help, please!  Thank you

    Hello Jacq,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    As described in the question, I understand that you are unable to find a way to restore your backup of the old computer stored on an external drive on your new computer windows 8.

    In earlier versions of Windows (Windows 7, Vista), you can use Backup and Restore to back up your files or create and use a backup or image system repair disc. Windows 8 and 8.1 gives you choices on how you can recover your PC and backup your personal files.

    You can use the file history to back up the files on your PC in Documents folders, music, photos, videos and office and the OneDrive available offline on your PC. First of all, you need set up a historical file player and turn on the history of the files. For more information, see set up a drive to the history file. If your original files are lost, damaged or deleted, you can restore them. You can also browse and restore different versions of your files. For more information, see to restore files or folders by using the history file.

    You can also view the Microsoft article below for more information about restoring your backup of the data on your new computer Windows 8.

  • Impossible to duplicate to external hard drive using the CCC

    Hi all

    I wanted to make a clone of my HD, because it started acting weird lately and decided not to make a clone of it when I get a new HD, but when I use ccc I select my boot drive (the one doubtful), then my drive external usb (2 TB) as my destination and copy everything BUT after 4 hours no progress but 4 points work but nothing is transferred. I formatted the external hard drive as it should be set to format less 10.8 in disk utility. So what I'm doing wrong here? Is there an easy way to do it? I think that I have V. 3.5 ccc, y at - it a bug with this version? BTW, my external hard drive is a USB 3 but compatible for 2 and my mac has no problem reading and writing to it. Any help with this or other means or programs to clone my drive is welcome.

    Thank you!!!

    Have you checked for an update of the CCC?

    Have you considered Time machine? You can restore from that.

  • Access denied for backup external hard drive

    Hello

    I can not access my old files stored on an external hard drive Maxtor. It gives me an access denied error.

    I tried what you posted in another forum.

    Here are the steps to change the ownership and permissions:

      2. Click Advanced , and then click the owner tab.
      3. Click Edit , and then do one of the following:

    ·         To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups , in area enter the object name to select (examples) , type the name of the user or group, and then click OK .

    ·         To change the owner to a user or group that appears in the area of change of ownership to , click the new owner.

    4. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects .

    5. click OK and then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:

    You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder_name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

  • Setting up Lightroom to store photos on external hard drive

    I have a MacBook Pro with a solid state drive that does not have enough space to store my photos, so I want to put all my photos on a small 2 TB external HD Question: when I import my pictures from the camera card into Lightroom, how can I put and keep all the photos on the external hard drive? Can you please tell me how I created the HD to make...! I know that this probably isn't difficult, but I want to do it properly. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Setting up an external hard drive is really very simple, I think. Of course, it must be connected to your computer. When you open the import dialog box and begin to set up your preferences, you should see the external hard drive as one of your choices. You can select the external hard drive, and then choose to import your images into a subfolder that will appoint you. Then all you have to do is to import the images and they will be exported to the external hard drive.

    Hi amireos,

    Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

    If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

    If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

    Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

    Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

    Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

    See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

    Let us know if it helps.

  • Can I use my old external hard drive after replacing SSDS?

    I recently bought a replacement of SSD for my hard drive.  A friend suggested I have get a box for the old man and keep it in a backup or extra.  I was wondering how difficult that would be, and I would be able to run applications from her?

    -Matt H.

    Yes, your friend is good, just buy a USB box for this and then you, it's like any other external hard drive. You can get these 10 pounds and more, but you get what you pay for.

    Simply open the screw in the naked reader, plug, close the case and you are done. It's very simple to do.

    There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

    My advice make a library of portable split is a general guide, but as such, it has all sorts of details that you may not need.

    I guess you have previously installed iTunes such as library files were in the usual place of C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes but the media were on an external drive, for example in X:\ < Media folder >, and no longer have access to the old library, or are perhaps new to iTunes, then so be it you will need to start over again. If, then hold down the SHIFT key when you launch iTunes. Keep now until you see a prompt to create or choose a library. Click on create and make a new library at the root of the external drive, i.e. as X:\iTunes , where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Once this operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to move the existing media folder within the X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, rename the folder that you moved as say other media to avoid any possible confusion in the future, select the menu with Ctrl + B bar and use file > add folder to library, to import the file to other media in the library. Will everything that iTunes adds to the library be shuffled around. All that remains in the other media will be happy that iTunes does not know what to do with such incompatible media or album art carried out by Windows Media Player. You can sift throigh this, take what you want and use replacements for all players what you keep.

    If you need me to explain it further, do not hesitate to ask.

  • Best version of older iTunes to a cell phone with big external hard drive?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 (circa 2007), I would like to use with my stereo to serve music from an external hard drive 1 TB.  The Dell has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.5 Ghz and 2.00 memory of concert, with Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system.  You want to keep software compatible with the vintage of the material but with enough ability to index a concert music library 500 +.  It is a standalone function for this machine.  What version of iTunes would go faster on this hardware and still have the ability to manage a large playlist?

    Thank you.

    The latest version of iTunes (12.3.2) should be fine.  My only concern would be the one with 2 GB of memory you pouvez experience some performance issues with an important library (where the key factor is the number of items in the library rather than the disk storage they occupy).  Additionally, you may experience glitches reading occasional and/or slow when responses to changes in your library if the connection of the laptop and external hard drive USB2.0 rather than 3.0, especially if current to run a web browser or other applications in resources at the same time.

    However, earlier versions of iTunes are not likely to be significantly different in their behavior or performance (and some, indeed, could be worse).  My main iTunes system is a desktop Dell of the same vintage (though with hard drives and power supply replaced in the past two years)-running Windows 10 Pro 32 - bit with 4 GB of memory (3.25 GB usable) and works fine with the latest version of iTunes.

    I would certainly recommend ensuring that your library is all about external drive (see time user turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information) and that you create and maintain an up-to-date backup of it (see backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library).
