Can I have SSD plus HD installed?

My 21,5 inch iMac is from Oct. 2011 with 500Gb traditional HD and 8Gb RAM. Is it possible to install an SSD disk as system disk for all software and use the original 500 Gb HD as a storage disk?
Can the same be done on my Mac Book Pro 15 inch dual core from Dec. 2010 with a traditional HD and 4Gb RAM?
As I understand my computers will gain some considerable increased speed with an SSD disk as the system disk, but am I right here?
I have Mac OS 10.7.5 on the iMac and Mac OS 10.6.8 on the MBP.
In case yes to one or both, I would let some professional do the job.

There is a company called OWC who have some guides on their site which might answer this. I believe in both cases it involves sacrificing the DVD drive and fitting the SSD their. iFixit also carry some interesting guides.
Also some good advice re the email address, in the previous post.

  • Can I have an Action file install when a ZXP is opened in Extension Manager for CC 2014?

    I have an extension that I'm packaging as a .zxp file.  I'm using Adobe Exchange Packager and setting to the proper install location for the files for the extension.
    However, my extension requires an action file (.atn) is installed in the user's Actions panel.  Of course, I can include the .atn file in my package and copy it to a folder on the user's computer.... BUT, is there any way I can include that .atn file in the .zxp package and when Extension Manager unpacks the files, it INSTALLS the included .atn file into the user's version of Photoshop?  So, this way the .atn file is already installed in the user's Actions panel after the extension installs through Extension Manager...so the user doesn't have to worry about installing the .atn file as well?
    (If there were a folder to place the .atn file into, I could do that, but I do not believe that there are any folders for CC 2014 that hold .atn files in which the panel will read, if at first not installed in the normal way.  I believe this is new for CC, and that the actions are held in a .psp file.)

    I am not sure about the .atn file location but it sounds like you want to create a 'hybrid' extension.
    You create a .ZXP containing your CS extension and then create an MXI file which includes the .ZXP and .atn file.
    You would then wrap this into another .ZXP which will be used as the installer.

  • Can I have the same printer installed multiple times under different names?

    On WIndows I have the same printer installed multiple times
    All using the same driver
    I have a Canon printer that has a rear tray and a bottom tray
    So, I will have one printer that prints to the rear and the other to the bottom
    Other printers (the same one) will be set so that they print in high quality and in duplex for example
    I'll name the printers 1.Canon 2.Canon 3.Canon etc
    So, when I go to print, I just hit a number on the keyboard and the printer I want is selected
    Can I do the same on my laptop?
    Thanks
    Omar

    Back Up - that's in case things go wrong.
    In the case you cite:
    You have
    Mother
    Mother Maiden Name
    as Faces, right?
    In the Corkboard view click on Mother Maiden Name and delete the 'Maiden Name'.
    It will disappear and all the photos will be in the Mother face.
    Note that 'Mother' and 'Mother ' (that is, with a trailing space) are not the same.
    You can  also just edit the name 'Mother Maiden Name' to 'Mother'
    As for photos staying in manual sort, I can only say that mine do. But as I've no idea what troubleshooting steps you've used.

  • Can I have multiple Oracle drivers installed?

    I have a Windows 2000 machine that has Oracle 7.3 drivers installed for one application and now I have another app going on that has 8.01.07.00 of the Oracle driver. I have been having problems getting the new driver installed and then both apps running. If I can get them both installed, will I need to combine the tnsnames.ora files into one or can I have both?
    Thanks.

    I'm assuming that you have two different ORACLE_HOME's (i.e. both Oracle7 & Oracle8 client software has been installed into different directories). If this is the case, I believe this should work, though I don't believe it's officially supported.
    8i added official support for multiple Oracle homes-- the latest ODBC drivers support multiple homes, although the ODBC drivers didn't add this support right with 8i. You may try grabbing the latest 8.1.7 driver, just to make sure that you've got a multi-home capable driver.

  • Can you have Captivate 3 & 4 installed simultaneously?

    Have been working with 3.0 for a long time and considering isntalling Captivate 4.0 Can you have both versions installed at the same time? Does 4.0 install require 3.0 to be removed? Just wondering so I can have a backout option.
    Thanks!

  • Can I have two mozilla´s installed on my computer??

    I share the computer with a cousin, and, I would like to know if it is possible to have two mozilla firefox installed on my computer and with two languages different, portuguese and english ?? Is that possible?? If yes, HOW??

    To install the second language version, download the installer from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    To install it you need to use the [[custom installation of Firefox on Windows]], and choose a different destination folder.
    You should also create different user profiles for the two versions (profiles store user data and settings). To do that see the following http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
    You also need to create shortcuts for each version that load the correct profile, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
    If you want the Brazilian Portuguese version there is another way to do this. There are language packs that can be added to Firefox, but for Portuguese only the Brazilian Portuguese language pack available.
    You can install the Brazilian Portuguese language pack onto the English version of Firefox, it is available from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/
    Now install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1333/ Quick Locale Switcher] add-on to enable you to switch between the two language versions.

  • Can I have CS6 and CC installed at same time?

    I am taking editing classes at a community college, which only has CS6. I have CC at home. From all the discussions I've read about non-backward compatability (which does suck btw), I'm thinking I should also have CS6 on my computer. Found CS6 (digital and CD version) on Amazon. Yes? Good idea? Am I missing somethin'? Thanks in advance.

    Creative Cloud Help /  
    Install both CC and CS6 apps
    Can I install both CC and CS6 apps with my Creative Cloud membership?
    Yes, you can download most CS6 apps from the Download Center on creative.adobe.com. Click any app icon. From the product download page, for example Illustrator, look for the heading "In this version" and click the version pop-up menu beneath it to select CC or CS6. The large blue Download button at the top of the page changes to "Download CS6".
    Note:
    It is fine to have both CS6 apps and CC apps on your computer. Some users require multiple versions for different clients, etc. It's a personal preference, but in no way is a requirement to uninstall your CS6 apps in order to install CC apps.

  • BADI - ME_GUI_PO_CUST ,can we have 10 plus cust feilds in  additional tab

    Hi Experts.....
    I have implemented a  BADI named ME_GUI_PO_CUST  and ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST in ME21N Transaction to add custom fields. With this I could get an extra custom tab in which I have included 7 Custom fields.
    Now my new req is to get add 8 more new feilds . but in the second method of the BADI -ME_GUI_PO_CUST  i.e ....MAP_DYNPRO_FIELDS we have only 10 customer feilds available to be mapped .i ,e MMMFD_CUST_01  --- MMMFD_CUST_02 -
    MMMFD_CUST_03 .....to ......MMMFD_CUST_10 .
    So the Problem is how to map my remaining 5 feilds ..
    Is it possible to add more than 10 feilds in the Customer subscreen  .If so please help me do it .
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    Yes you can add any no of fields in that tab.For Custom fields SAP suggested to use integer constants above 90000000, from which for mmfd_Cust_01 to mmfd_Cust_10  are just examples...But we can use any  constant above the above 90000000.
    For confirmation , check the where used list of mmfd_cust_01 and you will find 4 to 5 Fm where the logic will be like Metafield GE mmfd_cust_01 and not EQ in the standard Logic.
    Hope this helps you in closing the Thread

  • Can a 128 ssd storage still effectively work if I install windows 8.1 plus msoffice and a window-based proposal system? I plan to buy a macbook air entry level with 1.7 gh i5 processor.

    Can a 128 ssd storage still effectively work if I install windows 8.1 plus msoffice and a window-based proposal system? I plan to buy a macbook air entry level with 1.7 gh i5 processor.

    If you are going to use Mac OS X and its associated applications, and a BootCamp partition with Windows 8, and MS Office and all of the work created there, you will more than likely run out of space on a 128 GB SSD pretty quickly...especially if you put any music, photos or videos on it.  Those things take a lot of space so you will have to be very, very careful about what you want to put on a 128 GB storage space.  You would be better off going for 512 GB with what you plan on doing with it.

  • I have tried many times to install a SSD drive by using optical drive tray, my MBP is early 2011, intel serise 6,  checked on webpage, and someone say SSD could be installed on HDD drive, I guess it could be solved by driver, anyone good idea?

    Hi, MBP friends, any ideas for this problem? I tried hard and checked the hardware we have, and it hardly to say the problem from hardware, instead I am thinking it could be solved by driver update, or someone who is good on computer language that could help with the problem.
    My computer is early 2011, with intel serise 6 and sata 3 acceptable. I dont know why the opitical drive can not support ssd drive instead.
    need help, I really dont want to put my SSD driver to HDD driver, and move HDD driver to optical driver.

    well, i have got information from website, and it says it will be harmful to hdd driver set in optical area coz there is no vibration protection function.
    i have checked the system, and it says the sata speed is the same 6G and chip intel series 6. it should be the same speed, right?
    I am thinking that the chip is the same and mortherboard is the same, the cable is similar as well, why it doesnt work? driver issue? OSX issue? or software issue? firmware?
    or simply to say, if i am trying to setup two ssd driver into MBP, it has to be one in opitcal driver area. how could work?
    thanks... still in puzzle.
    right now, i have reinstall the osx into ssd by usb external, and install it back with opitcal tray, however, when i turn on the computer, the system can not be logged in from SSD, and computer can not read SSD driver, and it says it must be formatted or push out.

    Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Can x240 have both an M.2 SSD AND a WWAN card?

    Can an X240 laptop have both an M.2 SSD and a WWAN card simultaneously installed?  Or is there only a single M.2 port such that you can only have one or the other?
    Also, if you buy an X240 that comes from the factory with an SSD, is the factory SSD an M.2 SSD, or a 2.5" SATA3 SSD?
    Thanks.

  • I have a new Palm Pre Plus - can I have more than one Google G-Mail Account on the phone?

    I have a general G-Mail account and it has started getting too busy with advertisements etc.  I'm thinking about changing to a different e-mail address but don't know what yet.
    I have an old Palm Centro I used to Synch with my laptop.  Now I need to do this with G-Mail.  So I created a unique g-mail account that would only contain my calendar and contact information - i called it "palm.last name" - made sense to me.
    When I try to add it to my Palm Pre Plus I am unable to sign in.  I'm wondering if you are limited to the number of Gmail e-mail accounts you can have on the phone.  If i can only have 1 then I don't want my e-mail to be "palm.last name" and give that out to people - that would not make sense to them. 
    I already have a Yahoo Account and I'm thinking about another Yahoo Account to keep some e-mails and instant messages separate from my personal Yahoo.  If I cannot add more than 1 account, this is going to be a problem.
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    You should be able to add your second Gmail account without any problem...I have two Gmail accounts on my Pre and have no difficulties.
    When you say you are unable to "sign in", I assume you mean you are unable to sync the email and calendar on your new account?  Double-checking your user name and password are the only things that come to mind.
