Can CC apps be downloaded to, and run from, a hard drive other than the OS drive?

Yes. You can define alternate locations in teh application manager. just be aware that some components will always end up on your system root drive no matter what.

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Hello there,
Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
Thanks!

Can the creative cloud apps be installed on a drive other than the boot drive?

I have an SSD for the boot drive and keep most apps on an 'applications' drive. It appears that CC apps install by default to the boot drive. Am I incorrect? Can I control what drive they install on?

Yes you can change the install location:
Launch the Adobe Application Manager.
Click on your name in the top left and from the context menu choose Preferences.
Change the Install Location to the one you want.

My hard disc crashed and I have no back up other than the music I have on my ipod. I have downloaded Itunes onto my new hard disc but I have read if I just connect my ipod it will wipe everything on the latter rather than upload from it ?

My hard disc on my laptop crashed and I have no back up other than the music on my ipod.

What can I do ?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to transfer the music from your iPod to iTunes. There are some third-party applications that can do it > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

Can you install CS5 anywhere other than the C Drive?

I already have CS5 successfully installed on my computer and it works perfectly.
The problem I have is that I'm running out of space on my C drive. (Currently 864 MB Free of 64.2 GB).
After a quick look at the stuff I have on this drive, it seem's to make sense to me to move Photoshop to a different drive, and regain over 10 GB of space back instantly. I already have a dedicated Photoshop drive on my computer (H:) which contains all my Fonts, Actions, Brushes etc. It would be awesome if I could install it there instead.
However, where computers are concerned, I know that nothing is ever as simple as it seem's.
Could someone let me know what sort of problem's I could expect from doing this, or even if it is possible to do.
Just out of interest, I started the CS5 installer earlier today whilst still having Photoshop installed just to see if it was something it would let me do. (I have no intention of uninstalling Photoshop from my C drive until I know if it's doable).
As you can see from the image above it shows that I already have Photoshop installed and it shows the location (Highlighted for you in Yellow).
I have tried to change the drive letter to H: but I cannot change the text within that box. I was wondering if that location only relates to the already existing copy of Photoshop. And therefore I would need to uninstall the existing copy before I can change this. Or will that location always be C:\Program Files\Adobe regardless.
In short, Is it possible to install CS5 to a drive other than C: without there being any problems?
Also is it possible to install 2 copies of CS5 onto 2 different drives? So I can test the new one before finally getting rid of the old one.
Any help or advice will be gratefully received.

You would, of course, have to uninstall the current copy before installing Photoshop in a different place.
You can only install one copy of the same version at one time on the same PC.
You're not going to be able to install it in another place just to see if all went well before uninstalling it from drive C:.
And yes, choosing an alternate drive and location into that field with the little folder icon during an install will allow you to install Photoshop on another drive. That allows you to keep the better part of a gigabyte of software off the C: drive.
Keep in mind that there are a number of things (e.g., Adobe common software) that will still and only install on drive C: however, and there's nothing you can do to change those locations.

I dislike my W8 pc, but my XP died, so I configured an iMac, is there anyway to look at software and add it in during config, other than the 3 options they provide?

For years buying a PC you had the option of choosing additional software during configuration, but the iMac only has a few options and I know Apple has more software available, so what's the deal?
I really want a decent E-mail program, nobody does it better than MS Outlook, at least in my opinion, and I hate the E-mail program that is on my iPad, so that would be something I'd really want to add, unless of course the one on the iMac is better than the one on the iPad. You can't even create new folders, it doesn't give you direct access to your calendar, etc., I digress, sorry.

Thank you everyone, very helpful. I still don't understand why Apple forces you into multiple transactions when buying and configuring a new computer, or why you would have to go to the app store and download the software that is suppose to come with the computer.
I think there are two reasons why Apple does it differently. There is virtually no difference between a Windows PC you buy from Dell or the one you buy from Asus. They all pretty much use off the shelf components and slap their name on the box. That left PC manufacturers with few options for differentiating themselves. One was price which is why they've all raced to the bottom and the other was service. One inexpensive service they could provide was pre-installing software. It cost them almost nothing, made them a tidy profit, and cost you more than it should have.
The second reason is that Apple likes to provide a clean service. A Mac has no stickers and no crapware. You decide what to install and, if you choose, what stickers to put on it.
why you would have to go to the app store and download the software that is suppose to come with the computer.
The software you refer to is tied to your account, not the computer. To download the software you have to provide your Apple User ID which now ties the software to you. If you sell the computer that software is still yours, as are any future upgrades you might buy for it.

Can i move itunes to another drive other than my c drive?

I use a smallish SSD drive for my os and a couple games, i was curious if there is away to move itunes from the C drive to a Bigger storage drive and still be able to fully use it. Just need more space for Itunes and it contents.
thanks for any help on the subject.

Niel's advice above will work better. Moving the entire library as unit and then connecting to it works, and makes the next move easy too. Moving the media alone and then editing the media folder location in preferences doesn't work reliably, and may leave the library with broken connections to the old paths that need to be repaired.
@Rockdwg: If you have any iOS devices you may also want to relocate the backup folder.

Is there an app to stream picture and video wirelessly to a tv other than an apple tv?

I am looking into purchasing a new phone and Im stuck between a white 32g Iphone 4 or the new sony ericsson xperia arc. so for they r pretty comparable the sony is one mm smaller the screen is 1 inch bigger the camera is 8.1 meg pix. and its an led screen. BUT it isnt an iphone.. its doesnt have itunes... the iphone is simple easy to use risk free beautiful still a gerat runner up has two way face time.. the kicker.. the sony can stream your phtos videos etc wirelessy to ANY tv.. plz tell me theres an app which allows the iphone4 to do the same! if so I have more then every reason to get the iphone! i watched the feature videos and as of right now im seeing it can only stream to an apple tv... plz tell me theres hope!

The latest version of Apple's Remote app requires iOS 7 which requires at least an iPad 2.

VISA -1073807338 can anyone give me a better definition of what causes this error, other than the description provided in LabVIEW help?

I have been seeing a recurring instance of this error recently, that I am not completely understanding. Can anyone better explain what may be occurring when this type of error occurs.
Feel feel to speculate, but I was hoping maybe a designer might chime in on this.

Well, if I were the designer of the error code, I think I could probably give an idea of what kinds of circumstances might cause this error to occur, regardless of the application.
However, if it helps, here is the problem. I have an ATE program that performs thermal cycling for a UUT using VISA calls to a GPIB controller which communication with 3 different instruments. The test itself runs fine for long periods of time, and then I start to see this error occur. However, the program appears to continue to run after I press 'OK' from the pop-up dialog ackowledging that the error has occurred. There appears to be no evidence of a memory leak that could possibly be contributing to the problem, or at least none that I have detected, and the error description itself is very vague. So basically what I am looking for is a better understanding of what MIGHT be causing this type of error. I would not expect a specific cause for my particular application, because as Bob was so kind to point out, I hadn't offered much information in my original post. What I was really looking for was a better understanding of the error itself, from a 30kft point of view.
Thanks Bob_Schor for pointing out the deficiencies of my original question, it's posts like yours that make this discussion board a wonderful place to have a professional discussion.

How do I have the creative cloud installer and apps install on a different drive other than my main C drive?

I have been having trouble figuring out how I can put the installer and adobe apps on another drive other than my C drive. Please Help me. My C drive is getting too full.

The CC app itself will always install on the system root drive as will several shared components. Once the CC app has been installed, you can choose a different install location for the main programs in the app's settings.

How can I install Adobe Reader 11 to a drive other than C:\?

I downloaded Reader 11, but at no point during the installation process am I prompted for an installation location. How can I install this to a drive other than the C:\? I keep my C:\ and data storage drive separate so in the event the OS crashes I won't lose my data. I have limited storage capacity since I'm on a laptop so I didn't make my C:\ very large, so that I would have more room for my D:\. Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
LT Gannon

having data on a different drive is a good idea. installing programs on a drive different from you os containing drive is generally not a good idea. but if you have the expertise and are sure of what you're doing:
mac: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac/11.x/11.0.00/misc/
win: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5515

Does Lion support having the applications folder and the User folders on a separate disk (other than the startup disk)?

Is it possible to Install Lion while having the Application Folder and/or the User Folder on separate drives (other than the startup disk) Leopard didn't really support this as it would have errors with e-mail and other services that where not stored directly on the startup disk.

It's possible, but don't put the Applications folder elsewhere, and keep at least a miminal Admin account on your startup drive (so you can still log on to do troubleshooting, etc., if there's a problem with the other drive).
Many apps are expected to be in the Applications folder on the OSX drive; they may not work on a different drive and/or may not be found or updated when updates are available. Apple and Adobe apps, especially, are subject to this. Don't put them in folders, either, as similar things may happen.
Besides, apps don't take up much space anyway, it's the data that may.
It's often better to keep the home folders on the OSX drive, but put large data folders on a separate drive, such as iPhoto, iTunes, or large video collections.

If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

I have a couple or dozen or so excel spread shheets that I use origionally created in M/s Excel v.5.0 ( yup some time ago although have run and updated them on office 2007 perfectly etc. AND numerous word files that I refer to. I have also run these files using Open Office on a small 13" mac Book Pro. successfully.
I have now decided to change my personal use computers > macs.
Ok, so in summary then i think you kind guys are saying:
(1) That if i buy Pages & Numbers or even iworks which is Apple's suite of such programs i believe, then I can download and Run these apps /programs on each my personal mac computers whether they be my second hand Imac or second hand 17" mac book pro. ( basically i have purchased these so that I am converting to the "Apple Side" and can use the Imac desktop while at home and Mac book pro when out and about) , under the one purchase and one licence.
(2) The decision as to whether to Buy M/s Office for Mac v Pages & Numbers or the iworks suite is that if I have lots of MACROs in my existing files written in M/soft that it would be better to go for M/s Office for Mac. I understand that Macros are the automated thingys ?? I have formulae obviously inthe fairly simple spread sheets but not aware of any macros. So I guess that means ~ I could purchase either product by the sounds of it. yes? Are there any other obvious things i need to consider?
Other INFO:
Also, I have snow leopard on one system and Maveric ( pretty impresive!) on the other. i am slightly reluctant to upgrade the snow leopard o/s as I would have to upgrade the paralles software and probably Windows software as well in order to run an old Kitchen, drawing program that I use occaisionally. I know that one should be able to partition / and Boot camp but I really don't want to do that. I feel at this stage its not worth payingtoi up grade all these bits of software for something I rarely use. But I am open to anyones comments / views.
Thanks.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again.

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again. I have to go this route. Currently on my Mac, I need to be running Java 7.65 for work-related stuff. I went to the Java site, but could not find anything that simply says "Java SE 6 runtime" ... Or, is there another way to get CS5 up and running with my recent Yosemite download?

No, I can't go that route. I have to stick with my current Java 7.65 ... Our IT department said just to download SE6 Runtime separately ... If I was understanding that correctly. Or, can you have two different versions of Java running ... 6 ... and 7.65?
