where the disc scratch on a Mac?

Hello photoshop experts.

I recently made a move to switch from Windows to Mac, and man, I realized just how different some of the concepts were. My questions key here is "scratch disks". When I bought my windows PC 4 years so he came already with drive C and drive D, with of course the drive C is mainly for systems, past by conventional wisdom, I did D drive my main working drive.

How would this work for a Mac well (just think of me as a total Mac noob). I only learned that there is no real drive C or D for Macs. Could I just put the main drive to be the disc of scratch for photoshop?

I work on Photoshop CC, I think that all what I install on the Mac would be the latest version of creative cloud. Treat the files I have are layer of multi-remplissage 300 DPI of 700 MB, at the end of the measure. Just in case additional information is needed, here are the specs for my new Mac (didn't actually arrived yet so I can't generate adequate system for photoshop information).

  • 4.0 GHz QC mode 4.4 GHz i7
  • 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2x8GB
  • Dr. merger of 3 TB (3 TB + 128GBFlash)
  • AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2GB GDDR5

Hi Shih,

The drive from Scratch for MAC is set to Macintosh HD by default. Using Photoshop | Memory and performance

If you want to assign more "scratch disks"

> You can set your scratch disk preferences by pressing and holding the control and Alt keys (or Mac equivalent) from his Photoshop.A start this prompt will appear.

Let us know if it helps.

  • How can I restart my MacBook after where the disc?

    Hello

    I have an old MacBook (2008 running 10.8.5) - which became slow despite doing so much relics of different things to try to solve it. I came to the conclusion, the needs of disk wiping clean and all reloading.

    Although he is no longer my main machine, I want to keep it on to run my accounts.

    I had a Time Machine backup. I backed up all my documents and files that I might need for double safety.

    I am now ready to erase the disc. BUT I did not do this for years. I assume that the best way is to use disk utility?

    After that I wiped the disk, how best to recover the OS on my laptop? Can I copy it over an external hard drive? What I must start the mac from the external hard drive and it will allow me to do this is that I simply copied the "System" folder on the hard drive external?

    Any advice gratefully received.

    Jennie

    1. you have to start over from another volume, including the recovery partition. If your backup Time Machine was made 10.8 or more recent, he going to have a recovery partition, but can otherwise be used as a startup disk.

    2. If you used the recovery from a Time Machine backup partition, restore the backup of it. If you used a different recovery partition or an installation DVD, reinstalling the OS or restore your backup. If clone you your system on an external drive, the clone back; simply drag - copy the system folder or anything else will not work.

  • disorder affecting the disc scratch in illustrator cc

    can someone help me understand this? using mac os

    I need to change my scratch disk from the system 'default' on an external drive.

    In Preferences > scratch disks

    He sees the hard drive, which I joined... so I choose that, I click ok and get the usual warning to have to restart illustator to implement the change.

    problem is that when I quit, and then restart illustrator, no dice. It is set by default to "system".

    I change again. Click ok.

    then, just to see, I re - open the preferences panel. He went back to the "system".

    What gives?

    I tried several times and it won't take.

    Help?

    You can try updating your operating system. We just tried here with 10.8 and it works very well.

    Help, please. I assigned a certain player on my Mac pro to be a scratch for CS4 disc, as I did when I had a PC.

  • Windows 7 installation problem - I can not load the disc of windows 7 for

    I can't get windows disk to load 7. I am trying to run the full version on top of XP.

    ETA, I try to install the 32 bit one

    I have an answer!

    At least, it worked for me tonight, and I pray it works out for others in this situation.

    I got exactly the same problem as you, except that I wanted to replace Vista with a clean install of Windows 7 on a computer of the 32-bit system IE.  But, like you, it just has not been grateful that there is a disc in there after that many 'click' would say tell me to insert a disc or that there was a disk failure.  I have since bought nine from a retailer, and was not very impressed and nor am I impressed by the response from Microsoft about this problem and must send them a letter expressing my displeasure.  Issues such as this must be properly studied and perhaps added to the 'specifications' of the software to warn buyers to potential problems of certain brands or models of PC.  In my opinion be told to get off the USB drive with a process that most of the audience would find almost impossible to understand and follow and with the many added costs of having to buy a portable hard drive, large enough DVD or USB drive is unacceptable, as far as Windows 7 is not an item to purchase low price as it is.

    In any case, this is what worked for me.

    I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to lose more than £100 and so I have to use a laptop hard drive in order to make the suggested drive of USB and copy the disc on the laptop hard drive.

    I went into 'my computer', inserted the disc and he started his stupid clicking on and was not recognized, but in the list readers on the left side, I dragged all drive "E" (which is my DVD player and where the disc of Windows 7 was) on the USB hard drive.  This does not seem to have an effect, so I click with the right button on the E drive and press "copy" and "Paste" on the USB hard drive.  Now, I'm not sure if there is just a delay between the first process or if it was this process that has worked (as a result, please try both), but suddenly it seemed to 'wake up' the disc and it was recognized instantly and "run setup.exe" appeared in a pop-up and I could finally install Windows 7!  (Please Note - Although the disc began to copy it to the USB, I could have cancelled at any time so didn't need actually portable hard drive for this process - it just seems to 'wake up' when I tried to copy it somewhere else).

    I really hope it works for all those stuck with this problem and would like to hear if it has.

    Another point to note is that during installation, the computer will restart several times, and each time restarted mine, it got stuck on the screen black 'boot from CD' (due to the computer not recognize drive).  It was, fortunately, easy to solved for me to eject the disc and then close it again (leaving the disc, of course).  The rest of the installation was fine.

    Please, please post on here if the works above for one of you who have problems.  I sincerely hope that it is.

  • How OSX decides where on the disc to begin to write

    Location:

    NTFS formatted disk is connected to the Max OSX - "erased" HFS format.

    This stage just implements the structures on the disk.

    1 TB of data NTFS - disc is 4 TB.

    Question:

    How to decide where on the disc to start writing about OSX?

    is the HFS "erase" (formatting) declare where beginning of file system is? ".

    how he decides where this start must be?

    is it important that he sees data NTFS (although the orphans) and there are a LOT of free space - he would use free space?

    Thank you

    You cannot format a partition with two file systems - one per partition, use the data NTFS and Mac as well on the same disk, you need to create two partitions on the disk. One will be formatted to NTFS and the other will be formatted HFS + Journaled. You live when a file is saved. OS X does not have to decide whether a file is NTFS or Mac.

    In regards to the Mac OS X can only read NTFS. He cannot write it without the help of a third-party software.

  • After you download El Capitan, I received the following error message when you try to install: the drive is not formatted in MAC OS extended (journaled). Use disk utility to enable logging or reformat the disc. Can anyone help?

    After you download El Capitan, I received the following error message when you try to install: the drive is not formatted in MAC OS extended (journaled). Use disk utility to enable logging or reformat the disc. Can anyone help? (My disk utility shows that she in MAC OS extended (journaled) format.)

    It shows that it is Mac OS extended, not journaled. Click enable logging in the toolbar.

    The thing you read is if you format the drive using the RAID settings you have selected. You have to look at the bottom of the window where it shows the Format.

    External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

  • Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I see a file called "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 GB but I also have about 160 other image files in the same folder. But in pictures,.

    Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I have a file named "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 gb and another folder called 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' i.e. 4.95 GB, but then I have also on the 160 other photo and video files in the same folder. But in my Photos app, it says that I have 6 260 'elements '.

    The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.

    The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.

  • Where the customer number is installed on Mac?

    Long story short. I worked a graphic intense project and need space. As I thought that I shouldn't Windows 7 on my Mac with parallels, I had the tech guys at within the user group uninstall it.  Well now I need Windows bad, because of new software, I need. I had the installation package, but discovered that he had the key customer number.  I went through there, again and again. I contacted the seller, and they could not help, suggesting that it is in the brochure or on the bottom of the laptop.  Yes, you can guess how long a sticker would last at the bottom of a computer mac laptop.

    So the dilemma.  Is there somewhere in the libraries or files on my mac, where the key to the customer may be kept? Will there be another hope to get this shortcode to purchase another copy of Windows 7?
    All tips are certainly appreciated.
    Thank you

    If what you had was an OEM System Builder license installed and the product key (COA sticker) was attached to the bottom of your laptop but now it is damaged, you will need to purchase a new license.
