• Best external hard drive of programs?

  Hello

  I am a Mac user and I am currently using:

  MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013)

  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Iris 1536 MB Intel

  OS X El Capitan

  250 GB of storage.

  My Mac storage is almost full, and I am considering buying an external hard drive to free up space on my internal hard drive. However, I wanted to know if you can put programs on an external hard drive and if so, which is the best external hard drive for programs, for the cheapest price.

  I really don't want to pay more than 100 GBP.

  Between 50 and 70 GBP is my ideal price range, however, if there is an external hard drive that is absolutely amazing for a bit before, I can consider buying.

  If you cannot put programs on an external hard drive, which external hard drive is the best for a Mac?

  Furthermore, is it possible to add storage space for my internal drives?

  Thank you and I hope you can help me.

  Most of the programs broadcast their parts through several system directories.  A few programs I've seen work completely in a single directory.  Loading programs on "external" is delicate at best... unless the outside is a complete external operational system in-itself.

  With regard to external hard drives... people give me grief for continue to recommend, but...

  A single hard drive with a single disc is, in my experience, a compromise.  Mediocre quality disks combined with poor quality map interface and this card can do the contents of the drive not except through this controller... re-use of the disk outside this House requires reformat and loss of content.

  I use this external box http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MSTG800U3K/ that allows Exchange in all 2.5 in SATA drive.  The enclosure is of good quality, and you can get better quality discs to be inserted.  So when doen with one disk, exchange for another.  I use mine for player data and images, several clones/backups and test for the new OSXes drives and can use it to any number of other disks.

• Problem with 'open with' records not of programs on external hard drive

  Hi - I have several large programs installed on an external hard drive. Previously, there were no problems with the program and files associated with the other. My computer had to be rebuilt recently and all re-installed with the exception of those programs on the external hard drive. My files get recognized by windows - when I am asked to browse to find the program and I select this program from the ED - windows will not add to the 'open with' list of programs. I don't see what the problem is and a little lost. If anyone can help I'd be really grateful, as I have quite a few files that I have now correctly open questions.

  Thank you

  When you install a program, two things happen: the program get
  When you say let it go, and * pointers to many parameters and references
  It is set in the registry and elsewhere in \windows (there are
  an occasional exception, but usually only with a small single
  programs).
   
  Thus, when Windows has been reinstalled, all these many pointers, settings,.
  and references to it in the registry and elsewhere in \windows
  have been lost. Programs cannot operate without them.
   
  For this reason, separating \Windows and installed programs
  (especially on an external drive) is a bad thing to do.

• How can I transfer/copy a program from the hard drive on my computer on an external hard drive plugged into a USB port on my computer?

  transfer of a program on an external hard drive.

  What exactly are you trying to accomplish (goal)? You cannot save a program by copying its files/folders in Program Files in an external hard drive. To save programs, you must save the installation - CD, DVD, or the installable executable if downloaded media on the Internet.

• How to get the Favorites after resetting my computer? firefox saved on the external hard drive folder

  I had to reset my computer because I downloaded a sort of hidden adware that downloads new adware permanently, which makes my computer unusable. Adware ill-conceived, lol.

  I saved the folder of firefox mozilla whole folder of files (x 86) programs on an external hard drive. I thought that if I just copied this file on the computer, my favorites would be sympathetic to it. all the Favorites are gone.

  bookmarks are not stored in the folder of firefox? is it possible to recover? It's worth years of bookmarks I need for work.

  any help is greatly appreciated, thank you. I tried the suggestions that others had offered for similar problems.

  Your Firefox personal data is not stored in the Firefox program folder, but are stored in the Firefox profile folder that is located in the AppData\Roaming\ folder.

  • C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

  You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you do not save this profile folder then your bookmarks and other personal data is lost.

• MY c DRIVE is nearly full. Can I use my external hard drive because it has a lot of space

  My ' it shows only 123 MB available disc. I have a 500 GB external hard drive, but am not sure how to use it to free up space on my drive "C".

  Any help would be much appreciated.
  Roy Warner

  Hi Roy,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  The description of the problem you have provided, I understand that your C drive is full and trying to move some information on external hard drive.

  I will certainly help you in this matter.

  If you have data files in the C drive, you can go ahead and move them to the external hard drive. You will not be able to move the files to the program on the external hard drive.

  In order to get the free space in C drive, you can go ahead and uninstall the software bit that you use it often.

  See the link.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

  You can also delete files using disk cleanup, which would reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space.

• Install lr on and external hard drive or on the local drive?

  Hi again.

  Someone at - it thoughts on installing the LR2 program on an external hard drive to store all the pictures and projects about it too so.  If you do this you just plug the external hard drive into any pc or laptop and have your program and photos with you, even when you're traveling?  If I had to do this where would be the best place to put a back up of all my work to?  the local drive or dvd?   Ive not heard of people doing this, so I wonder if this isn't a good way to do.  Most often, I hear of just using the external dirve for one rear device.

  Thanks for any ideas

  Randy

  Yes, in the application of the LR of the internal (boot-generally that it is starting, which is) is the way to go. There is little difference in safety if your images and your catalogs are on an internal or external: you must have a backup of the image and the .lrcat files. It is much easier on the hard drives on removable media.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

• After saving documents to an external hard drive, some of my programs are missing on my computer. I can't find Outlook Express.

  I've been to the export of all my documents to an external hard drive all day... when I got back, some of my programs have disappeared too, especially my outlook express with all my emails (for the last ten years), is not in the programs, or in the menu... where at - it go?

  original title: outlook express to go?

  Have you looked in the control panel I suggested?

  1: enable hidden files.

  Select Show files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  2: go to * c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe *. If you find, right-click on it and send to | Desktop (create shortcut). You can open OE?

  If you can't find that, at the very least, you will need to do a repair installation, or perhaps to reinstall XP completely.

• Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

  Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

  I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

  Concerning

  Pete

  The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

  I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

  If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

  It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

  It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

  I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.

• Can I install programs on external hard drive?

  Original title: external hard drive

  I need to free up space and my hard drive. Can I take MS Works off the hard drive, put it on an external drive and use it or is it related to Windows XP and prevent this use? Same question for McAfee, Adobe and other routines.

  Hello

  It depends on the program you are trying to install. Generally, it does not work. Check if t he program is written to install on a portable hard drive. MS Works will not work if you install it in an external drive.

  Hope this information was useful.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• I backed up all the data on external hard drive and did a clean install of xp pro. I can't find a lot of folders, files or programs.

  How can I do to get the MS DOS programs? I have more drives. Is it possible to download the programs I had? MS will be able to see that the key is stored somewhere in my computer or external hard drive?

  A backup does not recover programs, only data.
  If you did a clean install of the program keys that are lost, so you have to install the origonal with all key media programs
