Hi,
Yes, you can clone your current HDD to your new SSD, install new SSD on your machine and run from there. Please note:
(a) SSD normally smaller (2.5" vs 3.5") therefore you need a mouting kit for it, such as one of the following ones:

(b) When cloning, you MAY need to select only the OS drive, otherwise it won't fit UNLESS you have larger (capacity) SSD. There are many free software around

and you can also get a cloning kit from vendor for around $10-$15.

ItunesU videos not playing in Itunes but play ok if you download to laptop's drive and run them from windows directory

I'm having a problem playing some ItunesU videos, some play okay, some just show black screen and don't play, others show a still image but then doesn't play when trying to view them from itunes store. The audio files play with no issues.
I am using windows 7.
However, if I download the videos that don't play to the laptop's drive and run them from the windows directory they play okay. I don't want to have to download videos to see if they are something I'd like to watch.
Just for reference, an example of a video that plays okay is by UC Berkeley Math 16A 001, Fall 2011. Another is Introduction to Robotics by MIT.
An example that just shows blank screen is Stanford's Iphone & Ipad development, Fall 2011, both HD and SD versions.
While an example of a video that just shows the initial image but doesn't play is Harvard's Statistics 110. If you adjust the time of the video, the video moves to that part of the video but only shows the image at that time, ex. at 13:02, but doesn't play.
I've tried reinstalling quicktime first, then itunes. I've also tried putting directdraw in safe mode, but the problem videos still won't play.
Could it be some setting, since it plays when the file is downloaded but won't play straight from itunes store online (ie. pressing the play button beside the video in the itunes list).
Help pls.

You might have more luck asking on a general Windows troubleshooting site, but my guess would be an invalid or old audio or CD driver (or firmware in the drive). You might try checking those to make sure you have the correct and most current drivers.

Can i download and run itunes from an external hard drive

can i download and run itunes from an external hard drive?

The iTunes application should be on the boot drive but you can keep the iTunes library on an external.
hold Shift when launching iTune sand select Create library and select the external.
This will create an iTunes folder on the external with all the library files and all media will also go into this folder.

I want to add an album to iWeb from a folder on my desktop but I do not want to first add it to iPhoto, is there a way I can add a photo to iWeb without it being from iPhoto?

Yes. You want to add photos from a folder on the desktop to an existing iWeb album page? Just bring up the page in iWeb and drag the photo into the group of thumbnails that are displayed on the page and move it to where you want it locate

Upgrading my intel iMac to internal SSD and running 1TB external drive from firewire 800 for mass storage while still using a second external drive for backups...my goal-speed with a SSD, to still have 1TB of room for everything i have now..possible?

I seem to kill HD's every two years...the last two i've installed were WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm 3.5" drives. The speed gains over stock drives have been remarkable. I don't blame the drives for the failures, my machines are up and running 16 hours a day, every day, year round. They die from 'mileage' so to speak...i assume...there's no viral acvtivity or questionable downloads to gunk things up...just lots of work.
I have my third new drive ready to install in my intel based iMac...but i've had a thought...I want to install a SSD in my iMac for the speed gain (and recent price drops)...for standard storage i want to use this new WD Caviar Black 1TB in an external drive bay and connect via firewire 800 for storing everything except the OS and my most commonly used software...am i crazy? will the firewire 800 external drive negate the speed gained with an internal SSD??
I have four iMacs in my office, and one at home. I buy second hand and install new drives and boost memory. I'm going to do this on my 'home' machine...if it works out well i want to upgrade the other three this way...but first i need to know if i'm just dreaming, or will it really make a difference? or even possible??
Thanks!

The SSD gives great bootup and Application launch speed. I think it also speeds up the video rendering a bit, I do all that on the SSD and then move the finished project to the external drives. As far as the speed for the external drives they are quick enough for viewing video and the file transfer rate is good. I had initially put the SSD into an external cradle (FW800) and the system was faster than on the internal drive. I only got a 1.5GBs SATA drive, perhaps yours could benefit from the 3GBs. I know the 6GBs would be too fast and costs a lot more, even the MacPros need special hookups to make use of the 6GBs.

Why can't I move my iTunes library and run iTunes from an external hard drive?

I've been having issues with space on my Macbook pro, so I wish to move my music in order to free up more space. I have been following the instructions on how to run iTunes from an external drive, but each time I attempt it only the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder copies to my drive - which has nothing in it.
What is going on?

Which exact set of instructions? Just about all of them are wrong, even the ones that specifically say how to move your library.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

Is there a way to install Windows (with programs) on an external drive and run it from the Pro?

I have a 1TB Seagate Goflex that I am using to backup the Mac, but I want to partition it and run Windows and Windows Apps from it, rather than risk my HDD. Does anyone have any experience doing that or have any ideas on how it might be done? I am willing to risk the Seagate external drive, but not the laptop.

Bob,
you could put a virtualizer such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop on the external drive, and install Windows and Windows apps in the virtualizer.

Can I put apps on an external drive and run them from there?

I want to know can I put apps downloaded from the Mac App store onto an external hard drive and launch them from there? The storage on my mac is full and I want to put apps onto an external drive to create more space on my mac.

Bad idea. See this:

Creating and running JARs from Java programs

OK, I have been googling and searching, but this is something I cannot work out, so I raelly need some help.
Basically, I am building a GUI app that would generate, compile and run java programs. And I also want to enable the users to create JARs they can later double-click if they want to run the program.
I am using Runtime to compile programs and it works just fine. When I click on a button to create a JAR, my application creates one, but when I double-click on it, it can't find main and it exits. Now that is not so much unusual, but I am positive that my manifest file is OK, because when I run the same command from the command line, then I can click on the JAR file to run it.
So what is the deal here? I mean, why would a JAR file created from the command line run and the one created through a GUI app using the very same command could not find main?
Any help would be graetly appreciated.

again, another unanswered question.
BTW I'l keep bumping these until I get an answer that works. I have been up 3 hours now trying to get this sorted and it's something that netbeans is supposed to do on its own!?!?!?!?!
Hello, SUN, is there anyone there???
No, didn't think so.

LR 1.3.1 strange behaviour: L key adds keywords and removes pictures from collection

After updating to LR 1.3.1 yesterday I found a very strange behaviour that I cannot explain: While in the Library module and looking at a picture from a collection (in loupe mode) I cycle through the different light modes using the L key. Then suddenly (after several hits of the L key) a keyword is added (not always the same keyword) and at the same time an unknown number of pictures is removed from the collection. The keyword is not added to the picture I was currently viewing, but to another one from the same collection. This has not happened before and I have no idea what is going on. I can restore the collection by relaunching an older catalog but of course this does not solve the problem. Can anybody help?
(PC, Win XP prof SP 2, 4 Gig RAM)

It is possible that instead of hitting the l key, or perhaps within the same sequence of hits your are in fact accidentally hitting the k key.
K is the shortcut for "Add shortcut keyword"
Of course you would have had to set that particular keyword at some point and it does not explain the different keywords being assigned.
Unless the alt key was involved somehow and you were rating the images with 1-9 numbers. That would account for different keywords being assigned and would seem arbitrary.
To check: look at one or two of the images that you may have rated using a number key and then look at the keyword set the keyword came from. Press the alt key and a number from 1-9 will appear next to the keyword. If they match then thats the answer.
If you weren't rating the images this way then.....??
Perhaps there is a fault with the keyboard itself rather than the program.

IMac SSD and HDD configuration from scratch, major issues

Hello.
I'm having a major problem with my iMac (July 2010 27" 2.8ghz). I recently operated on this guy and installed a 2TB HDD and a 256GB SSD. I backed up my previous setup using CCC onto a separate external HDD. I installed a "fresh" version of OSX Mountain Lion onto the SSD and used Migration Assitant to transfer my applications and user settings. I then copied over the itunes folder and photos library folder over to the HDD. However, I cannot access the libraries of either using the SSD. I hold option down while opening either Aperture or Itunes and I am not allowed to select either of the libraries. Infact the iTunes one is grayed out and the folder holding the Aperture Library is locked (Red circle with a white dash).
Ultimately what I want to do is have the SSD provide the system and the applications and have my music, videos, and photos on the HDD. I have been reading all sorts of boards but I can't get anything to work. I'll completely start from scratch if needed.
BTW the SSD is so fast on this machine.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

My boot drive uses under 60Gig for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & several small programs,
with my Windows paging/swap file directed to another drive
My 3 hard drives for video editing are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and ALL program installs (2)
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folders and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (1)
(1) for faster input/output if you have 4 drives
- use drive 3 for all source files
- use drive 4 for all output files
(2) only 60Gig used, for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & other smaller programs
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

How to compile other java files and run them from my own programs?

I'm developing a unit testing tool for AspectJ, which can originally generate the stubs for aspect unit to be tested. All these stubs are java files. After generation of stubs, how can I program the code to compile this unit together with these stubs, i.e. how can I put the functionality of compilation and run, e.g. command "javac *.java" and "java *", into my own code.
Hope you can understand what I mean.
Thank you in advance.

When I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command) for executing the AspectJ compile command "ajc", "IOException createProcess error=2" always occurs, while it is ok for Java comiple command "javac".
Why this happens when I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ajc Hello.java Test.aj")? Is it the reason that Runtime.exec(String) may not support any command in DOS?
(ajc is the compile command for the java file and aj file.)
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I am new here on the project and dont have much documentation avaialable. I have is just passwords.

the way usres uses data from HIPRD database is either through disco desktop or they launch disco viewer. So they login in disco desktop as username/password database name untick oracle application user. once they login they see all folders where they hace access to run reports.
I created new database called TEST using cold backup set of HIPRD and i have upgraded to 11gR1. I have updated my local tnsnames.ora with TEST entry and i am able to connect TEST(11g) which has same data as it is available in HIPRD.
My question is what I have to do on disco side so that usres can run reports from upgraded 11g TEST database using disco desktop or disco viewer the way they are doing for HIPRD.
Please help, I am new to discoverer
