Can you install 2 copies of CS3 on seperate hard drives?

In my office, I recently installed a raid 0 setup of 2 drives to install and run some applications in the hopes of alleviating some system strain and speed up everything overall. I'd like to install the entire suite to this new drive however I don't want to uninstall it from the C:\ drive due to time and possible problems. Not to mention, if I have issues or am unable to install it than it would lead to all sorts of unhappiness. We I can deactivate the one on the C:\ drive later if all works out well.
Can i keep my full CS3 suite on C:\ and have another full suite on D:\ ?

You can have the program on two different drives as long as you boot from the two different drives. One registry will not know about the other copy. You cannot use it installed run them from two different drives using one boot drive. The registry will get too confused.

Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

Are you talking about adobe creative cloud?
If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything. I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it. that means you really do not own it.
About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud). so ether way, it will take some space.
Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud. The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions. if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

Can you move your system onto a new, larger hard drive?

OK, so I bought a 4 GB RAM upgrade and a 320 GB 7200 rpm hard disk to beef up my Mini. But it has a lot of apps installed and I don't relish the thought of re-installing it all from scratch. So my question is - Can you migrate the entire system onto another, bigger hard drive, realizing that it will go onto a larger disk partition than it came from? Right now I have the 320 GB disk in an external USB case. So can I back everything over to this USB drive and make it bootable and then swap the disks?

OK campers. This is how it went down. I bought an IOGear external eSATA case for the 320 GB drive. After fooling around a bit I finally figured out how to get the drive initialized so it showed up. I then downloaded SuperDuper and backed all files from the old 120 GB over to the new drive. I selected the new drive as startup disk to make sure I could boot from it. Having successfully done that, I went to Other World Computing's site for Mini Upgrades, and played their installation video on my laptop. I followed the video instructions and had the new RAM and hard disk installed in about 20 minutes. One thing they don't use in the video is an anti static wrist strap. I had one and used it. I highly recommend to all attempting this, to get one at Radio Shack. They are a cheap insurance against damaging your Mac with static electricity. All in all, this was an easy upgrade and I am writing this on the "new" Mini, which is running sweet, with lots of 'elbow room'.

Can I install windows 8.1 from windows ssd hard drive with bootcamp?

I recently bought a 2009 macbook pro wiht Maverick 10.9. I had a PC running W8.1 on a crucial ssd. The ssd is working fine, it was the motherboard that was broken. I was wondering if I could image a partition on the macbook with the image software crucial provided to install W8.
Any input can help
Thanks

Instead of trying to copy the Windows copy you have on the SSD to the internal hard drive, what I would do is to buy a USB to SATA hard drive and connect the SSD to the Mac through the USB port, and then start up your Mac from it if you need to use Windows 8.1. To do it, hold the Option (Alt) key while your Mac is starting up.
Apple does not support Windows 8 on the 2009 MacBook Pro, so you may have some problems with the trackpad and function keys

Can you install 2 copies of OS X?

On the same Mac?
I like to mess about installing different bits of software but sometimes removing it can be a pain and you can end up with all sorts of unwanted junk on there.
It occurred to me it might be nice to have 2 installs of OS X on the same machine - one nice and clean and the other as a sandpit environment. And choose which to boot at startup.
Is this easy to do? And is it covered with 1 OS X license?
Thanks

Please check the SLA choosing Software/Mountain Lion (unfortunately, they've changed the format and copy/paste is just about impossible now):
http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
Here is an excerpt from the OS license agreement:
A. Preinstalled and Single-Copy Apple Software License
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, unless you obtained the Apple Software from the Mac App Store or under a volume license, maintenance or other written agreement from Apple, you are granted a limited, non- exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time. For example, these single-copy license terms apply to you if you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware.

Reading further, you can run 2 virtual copies of ML and you can install it on as many machines as you own and control, but there does appear to be a limit to one copy only per machine.

I can't install Snow Leopard on a brand new hard drive with a brand new optical drive.

I need help please. I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. The hard drive crashed a while back so I bought a new one. The original Snow Leopard disc that came with it was scratched so I bought a new one of it as well. After trying/failing to install Snow Leopard on the new hard drive about a dozen times I bought a new optical drive as well. I installed the new optical drive today, tried to install Snow Leopard again and STILL got the same installation error messages. Any help that anyone might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Last error message:
Install failed: The Installer could not copy the necessary support files.

Did you partition and format the new drive first?
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. Upon completion quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

How can I install OSX on a new third-party hard drive in my Macbook Pro?

I'll start off by saying that I bought my MBP (Mid 2009, 13 inch) used two years ago, and the seller never thought to mention that he had installed a third party hard drive not long before selling it to me... First problem.
Anyway, the hard drive crashed. I'm installing a new hard drive, but I'm worried about getting back to having Mountain Lion. I'm confused by the process - Some say I can start by ordering a retail copy of Snow Leopard on Amazon, some say I need the OS disc that originally came with the computer (which obviously I don't have), and some make it seem as if there's a special version of Snow Leopard I need to order from the Apple store?
Help.

There is no special version of Snow Leopard (other than what ships with a Mac of that vintage). There is a regular retail version. It is a good idea to have a copy.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After you install the new hard drive boot the computer from the OS disk, and install OS 10.6.
If you want a more recent OS, sign in to the App Store - use the same ID and password you have used here.
There you can download Yosemite, it's free.
I assume your MBP meets the requirements for Yosemite. If it does not, or if you want an earlier OS than 10.10, you should be able to find it at the App store.

How do you install windows bootcamp on a second internal hard drive?

I have a SSD as my main hard drive then installed the old hard drive internally in the internal optical bay slot. Whenever I try to install Windows and reboot, I get the No Bootable Disk error. Any ideas?

Disconnect the hard drive (assuming you want to install on SSD) and put the optical drive back.
Even on a multi-drive Mac Pro (tower) or an iMac (with SSD and 2TB hdd) there are extra steps.
You can't install Windows on one and have a drive with OS X or even GPT partition type on second.

Can't install 10.4.9 on my internal hard drive - no destination volume

Hello,
I replaced the internal hard drive of my MacBook2.1 and am attempting to install Mac OS 10.4.9
Here are the specs:
500 GB Western Digital BPKT Scorpio Black Internal SATA Hard Drive
Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GHz
1 GB of memory
I start up the MacBook and insert the Install disk. I encounter a problem when at the 'Select Destination' section of the install. It says to 'Select a destination volume to install the Mac OS X software' but there is no destination volume available to select!
This led me to opening the 'Disk Utility'. When the Disk Utility is open, it shows the hard drive (the SMART status is verified) on the left. However, it says the total capacity of the HD is 3.6 TB, which is not correct. I erase the HD with the 'Mac OS Extended (journaled)' volume format. I attempt to partition the HD with one partition with the same format. When I click 'Partition' a window pops up that says 'Partition failed with the error - Input/output error'.
Not sure what to do to prevent this error. I do have install disks for Mac OS 10.5.4 and can partition the HD with that, but still no destination volume available when tryint to install 10.4.9. The MacBook2.1 can with version 10.4.9 and I cannot install 10.5.4.
I had read some discussions about problems with External HD's but haven't read any on Internal. I am really hoping someone can help me with this problem as I bought this MacBook second hand (from my wonderful sister) and am unfamiliar with it. Do I need a particular HD to install 10.4.9 properly? I'm all ears.
Thank you,
Highlander

Hello,
Was Highlander85's issue ever been resolved?A
I'm experiencing the exact same problem as Highlander85 except my system is an iMac and I'm attempting to erase/partition an internal Seagate Barracuda 500G SATA. I have tried everything that Highlander tried and still no luck. I also confirmed w/Seagate that adjusting jumper settings for this drive is not necessary. Is there a chance there is an issue w/my RAM or would you think it's time to open up my machine again and R/R myHDD while I am still within the stores return policy?
The spec's for my system per your last reply are below:
OS X 10.4.7 (Have original disks)
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2.5 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM51.0090.B09
SMC Version (system): 1.9f4
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

Can I install Windows XP Pro onto my external hard drive?

I have a MacBook with a 320gb Western Digital external hard drive. I also have Windows XP Pro on a disk that my college gave me.
Can I install XP Pro on my external hard drive so I can have both Mac and PC?
I have Mac OS X Leopard so I think bootcamp will let me do this.

Boot Camp will only let you install onto an internal disk. This is largely because of Windows restrictions, not Mac OS restrictions. The beta thread has some supposed approaches to let you do this, using manual steps instead of using Boot Camp Assistant.

Can I install and run Tiger on a slave hard drive?

I apologize if this has been covered somewhere, but I did a search and couldn't find it.
I want to be able to boot to another internal drive that I have in case of emergencies, etc. with my main Tiger OS hard drive (an external firewire drive).
Anyway, I already have an OS 9 hard drive in there and it's set to master (with slave present) with the pins on the drive. But, there is another drive (set to slave) that would be perfect for my extra Tiger OS install.
Will I be able to boot from this "slave" hard drive after I install Tiger on it?
Thanks for your time.

How can you back up your ipod onto your external hard drive that you're using in time machine?

I just bought an external hard drive and want to put my ipod music on it but can't figure out how. My ipod has music that my itunes library on my computer doesn't have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would also suggest you get a 2nd, much larger hard drive, partition it if desired, move your data to it, and start a 2nd Time Machine backup on it. You can set Time Machine to alternate between the 2 drives by adding the new drive to System Preferences/Time Machine. If you want to make a copy of your current backup on the new drive, you can do that using the Disk Utility Restore tab. If you chose to do that, make the copy first since using the Restore tab erases all data on the drive or the partition.

Can I install Adobe 12 elements on my external hard drive? I have all my data there.

Can I install elements 12 on my external hard drive and would the necessary program pieces still install on the C drive? I have all my data on the external hard drive as are all my pictures.

Yes, there'll be some pieces that would be installed on your boot drive.
I personally prefer to install app on my machine than an external drive and keep the the data/files on the external drive and access those from the ecternal drive while working in elements. Nonetheless, it is supported.
thanks.
