Can I install a dmg app to a location OTHER than my main system HD "Applications" folder?

… and if so, how?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response Mende.
That seems horribly limiting. I was asking because I decided to install a game on my video production computer, but while playing, I'd much rather it were accessing a drive that was not as "mission critical" so to speak. I have two or three other games installed through Steam. But with the Steam app I could send all of the install files to a different drive.
I'll see if copying it over to the other drive works. Would it be as simple as copy/paste and then opening the app from the new folder?
Thanks again, sir.

Install Adobe CC apps on a drive other than C?

Can I install CC apps on a drive other than C? If so, how?

It does indeed:
I haven't tried it either, in fact I've always heard that the smart thing is to install in the default location. But the option is there. Keep in mind that a lot of stuff will go to the user folder on the C drive in any case, so you can't keep it entirely off C.
Normally I'd ask "why?" - but SSDs have brought back space restrictions, at least for a while. I'm getting a little worried for my 240 GB system/apps SSD, which is very nearly full pretty soon.

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

I am trying to install Flash Professional CC to a location other than my C: drive

I have specified in the preferences panel that I would like Apps to install on disk E: however this seems to have no effect. Should I reinstall Creative Cloud and try again or is there an easier fix? Please help!

Have you tried creating a "user" file in E: (E:\Users\name) and also choosing it as the default Folder location under "Files" in CC preferences. Once installed I use the update command found under "Help" in the program. Faster and more reliable.
In Windows 7
If nothing works for you and you still need to free up C: drive space (SSD?) you might search for info on the "Make Link" command and learn how to use it. It is a way to move a program from one drive to another and make the OS think it is still in its original place. (Be aware, some files cannot be moved and moved programs will not update.)
If you decide to uninstall it, you will need to undo the MKLINK command (delete created shortcut on C: and copy and paste the program back to the same original C: drive folder first.), then uninstall. I have uninstalled first and then deleted the program from the other "Root" drive w/o ill effects too. But I'm no techy, backup everything and create a new "Restore Point" first.

I can't install any dmg files

I can't install any dmg files and I can't find CoreService nor DiskImageMounter under Library order neither. I think they're missing.
Please Help.

They should come up when you double click on the DMG file.
If you are getting a terminal windows when you double click on a DMG file then something has switched the Default program from Installer.app and or DiskImageMounter.app to terminal.
Right click on the DMG and select Get Info. In the windows that comes up find the Open with section then select DiskImageMounter.app and click Change All.
Both DiskImageMounter.app and Installer.app are in /System/Library/CoreServices. But that folder may be hidden. So you will need to use the Go Menu item "Go to Folder" and type in what I posted above to find it.

Hey Nathan,
I know it can be a bit frustrating to try to get a version of an application that will work on an older iOS version. This article explains how to do it -

The IOS and Mac OS are completely different. Software written to run in one can't run in the other. The same is true of other mobile OSes and the apps that run in them.

Can't install or update apps

iPhone running iOS 8.2. Can't install or update apps, buttons grayed out. Probably a Settings issue, because iPad working fine.

If the buttons are greyed out in the store then do you currently have an app age rating set on your phone in Settings > General > Restrictions (under the 'allowed content' heading) that is blocking them ?
