Can I install ONLY Compressor 1.2.1 without reinstalling FCP 4.5?

I need to reinstall Compressor 1.2.1 (the earlier version before I update) because of the dreaded "cannot connect to background process" (paraphrase) error. I can get to the custom install screen and uncheck everything except Compressor, but I can't uncheck the FCP app itself. Do I have to reinstall FCP, too, just to reinstall Compressor?!?!
I have 4.5 HD and am using a G5 dual 2 (NOT Intel) with 1.5GB of RAM, and am running OS X 10.4.8.
Thanks in advance...
Lloyd

Thanks... just one more quick question:
After I re-installed Compressor 1.2.1 and restarted, I got an error message saying "An item in the Startup Items folder ("/Library/StartupItems/Qmaster") does not have the proper security settings." and then the rest of the message... My question is, do I need to have Qmaster running if I'm not using a cluster? It seems like no matter what I do now, I can't get Compressor to work (reinstall it without my Ethernet cable attached, reinstalling only the Compressor .pkg file/bundle, etc.). Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong or what I have to do to get this to work? I tried to bypass Compressor and let DVDSP 3.0.2 handle all the encoding, but no matter how low I make the MbPs, I still get an error message that it's too high. I also have chapter markers, so I'm not sure of a work-around.
Again, I'm using the FCP 4.5 HD package. Is this common? I'm thinking of using iDVD...it's not as professional, but at least it works.
Thanks,
Lloyd

I NEED DLT support, can I install only Encore 5.5 along side CS6??

I need DLT support (dropped from CS6 thru some brain-fart by Adobe), can I install only Encore 5.5 and not the rest of the Creative Suite without interfering with CS6? I need to master dual-layer DVDs to DLT tapes and CS6 does not support DLT anymore. For single layer DVDs I can create them in CS6 and master the ISO out to tape on another computer running Encore CS2, but that method doesn't support dual-layer ISOs, they have to be mastered to DLT directly from Encore.
I do not use dynamic link and am fine with using CS6 to get the video ready for conversion to MPEG and AC3. I just don't want to mess up CS6 and don't want a lot of crap I won't be using (the rest of CS5.5) laying around on my hard disk waiting to foul me up in some way in the future.
Anyone done this, heard of it being done, etc?
If I need to I'll revert entirely back to CS5.5, but I REALLY like CS6 except for the one disaster where DLT mastering support was dropped out (a move which may truly be a deal breaker on CS6 for me).
Thanks,
James

No problem installing CS6 over CS5 and/or CS5.5.
I did not find anything in the PR forum right off to give us an example of CS5.5 over CS6. CS4 over CS5 was a problem, and I developed the general belief that one should not install a lower version after a higher. It is not always a problem, but I don't trust it.
I have CS5, CS5.5, and CS6 installed together with no problems. But I installed in that order.
If I were you, I'd consider biting the bullet, uninstalling CS6 (with all the cleaning etc), and then install CS5.5 and then CS6.
Alternatively, do a fresh install of your whole system.
If either of those two reinstalls, you could install CS5.5 over CS6, and let us know how you fare!

Can I install only iPhoto 7 and continue to use my other iLife '06 apps?

My mac Mini does not meet all of the system requirements for iLife '08. Can I install only iPhoto 7 and still use my old iLife apps like iMovie?

Here's a link to the iPhoto support page http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/. At the bottom left you'll find the system requirements for IP 6. It looks like you're within range as far as the OS requirement and computer model. IP 6 should just upgrade your older version. If you want to install just iPhoto, there should be a "Custom Install" option in a drop-down menu. Choose that (instead of the default "Easy Install") and select what you want to install.

How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

Hi,
I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
Before you begin, you will require the following:
USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
Windows 7 ISO Image file
UNetbootin
Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

Have Mac OS X 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it requires 10.6; updated to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5

Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.

Hi Loraine,
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
Cheers.

Can I install PSE 10-13 Win7-8 without the Organizer (uses a lot of resources)?

Can I install PSE 10-13 Win7-8 without the Organizer (uses a lot of resources)?

You can't install them separately, but it is easy to place unique shortcuts on the desktop for organizer and for editor.
In Organizer, go to Edit>Preferences>Auto Analyzer options and uncheck analyzer and people recognition if you don't use them - may improve resource utilization.

I own two i macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other computer without additional charge?

I own two I macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other compute without additional charge?

If it's the same email address Apple registration on both, use the 2nd computer and go to the App Store and find Lion. If different, use the second computer but log in to the App store with the address you used on the first go round. The buy button should instead say install. Then go through the same process again.

How can I install only OS on SSD and have the HDD only for apps?

I am looking to buy an SSD and install it in my CD area of the macbook pro with an adapter. But I wanted to know if it's possible to instal only my OS on the SSD and have the HDD only for Apps/Software....Is this possible and if so how can I do this?

I suppose you could do this by just installing Mountain Lion onto your SSD, and then move your applications folder and documents to the HDD.
But I would be wary of doing this because:
It seems like it would defeat the purpose of having a SSD, that is to make your computer fast. The computer would have to switch back and forth between the SSD and the HDD. Sounds like that would unnecessarily complicate things.
I like to keep things simple. I think the software engineers at Apple know what they are doing and I just keep things installed simply and the way they intend them. Then they seem to work. I put a SSD in my laptop about a year ago and it works perfectly. I haven't had a problem with my computer in a very, very long time.
This doesn't mean that you can't have a lot of files stored on a secondary drive somewhere, whether it is on an internal or external drive. But I'd keep the system software and apps where they belong, on the drive where the installer puts them.
And this doesn't mean that you can't try your plan and see how it works.

Qosmio G30: How can I install only Ulead Dvd movie factory from Recovery image

Hi everybody
I have question about Ulead dvd movie factory.
First, I bought my G30 with XP when it was the moment of the offer "vista for a few euros".
So, I installed Vista with the official CD from Toshiba. But there was no longer Ulead Dvd movie Factory. As the XP's restoration CD is only an image disk, I can't install from it.
Has anybody a solution for me?
Thank's.
BR.

I think there is a solution!
I found the Ulead DVD Movie Factory utility on the Toshiba page.
I searched in the Qosmio G30 area but without to be successful.
But I checked other sections and selected Satellite Satellite A series Satellite A200 (PSAEC) Vista and found the Ulead DVD Movie Factory 5.51.0147.03 version
Download it a try to install this tool.
Should works!

Can I install CS3 on a new Mac without migration?

My old G4 Mac that was running an educational version of the CS3 suite died (power supply failure) and I now have a much newer machine. Can I install the CS3 suite on this new Mac (without going through migration assistant)? I will only be using CS3 on the new machine. Will I be able to make the switch and have my educational license still work? Thanks!

While Bob's answer is the easiest, the other answer is to take the hard drive out of the old machine, but it in an enclosure connect it to the new machine with a usb drive. Install a new copy of the OS (try upgrade first if that doesn't work you can try an archive and install) onto the extrenal hard_drive, the try booting from the old hard drive on the new machine. Then deactivate. Of course you could try to migrate the application to the new machine, but that can introduce what is known as a World of Hurt©.
But the easiest way to do it is Bob's method. You can use the hard drive/enclosue method if you need to get the data off the hard drive in case you belong to the majority that do not back up their data.

Can I install only Windows on my Macbook Pro 2009?

Hello All,
For reasons far outwith my control. i.e. I am in the middle of borneo, needing desperatly to get on a full windows machine... I need answers to the following?
I have full gen versions of Windows 7 and MS Office 2010. I want to run these on my 13" MacBook Pro 2009. I know, boot camp, VMware etc are all great. But i can't at this time get those working.
I think, the best option is to just buy a HDD, remove the old one, install fresh copy (of win) onto new HHD.
However, my question is - will this work?
Thanks
Craig

As TheSmokeMonster indicated, you'll need to use either virtualization or BootCamp. BootCamp prepares your system to allow Windows to be installable on it (it also provides the drives for some of the hardware which may not be found elsewhere). Virtualization runs in OS X, so that should be a non-issue. Keep in mind, all firmware updates are only via OS X, so you would not be able to update your firmware unless you have a functioning bootable external OS X volume.
BootCamp does basically give you a full Windows machine... it just allows dual booting between Windows and OS X.

Can I install only iWeb from iLife 11 disc?

I've found a sealed copy of iLife 11 for sale, and I would like to only install iWeb3, as it seems easier to use that version with another host, as compared to iWeb2.
Also, how will it affect my current install of iWeb2? Will I have to recreat all my pages ands post all over again?
Thanking you all in advance,
Doug

I just popped in my iLife '09 DVD to check '11 should be similar & you should be able to do a custom install by clicking "Customize" install and just select iWeb.
