Can you install a program...

Can you install a program, like the sims 2, to an external hard drive?
Sorry is this has been asked a million times
iMac G5 (without iSight) Mac OS X (10.3.9) Goldfrapp Fan

Hello,
Yes, if your internal hard drive's space is limited / low, then installing on an external hard drive is a perfectly fine option.
Keep AxL's comments in mind.
And, also consider that it will probably run a little slower from the external drive. To keep performance up, you should at least use a FireWire 400 drive and get one that spins at 7200 R.P.M.
If you use a USB 2.0 drive, you will definitely be complaining about performance while using the program.
And, most updaters are available for download, and usually ask you which drive / program location to install them to. So, that probably won't be a problem. It's a consideration. But, probably not a huge issue.
I hope this helps.
Let us know if you have other questions.

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

Can you install programs on sd cards? if so how?

can you install programs on sd cards? if so how?

Drag-installed applications can just be put there; the card may need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended. Other applications shouldn't be.

In 2012, I bought Photoshop CS6 Extended (education edition) for Mac. Now I want to install it on my new Macbook. I have the correct serial number and product code, but I receive an error message: the software may be a false copy etc....What to do?

Here is a copy of the error
This means : Installation failed.
Verification of the Adobe Software failed
The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

Hugo please turn off your e-mail signature.
If your serial number is listed as being valid at http://www.adobe.com/ then I would recommend obtaining a fresh copy of the installation files. You can find details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
To download a fresh copy of the installation files please see Download CS6 products.

I can't install the program I just purchased: Acrobat XI Standard

I can't install the program I just purchased: Acrobat XI Standard. When I bring up the installer, it does nothing.

Hi Mountain Matt,
Please make sure that you're logged in as an administrator, and that any antivirus software on your system is disabled. Then, trying downloading Acrobat from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X, and run the installer.
Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having trouble and need additional help, it will be very helpful to know what version of Windows you're using.
Best,
Sara

Can not install any program

I can't install any program in my mac OS X(10.6.3)
I didn't install any harmful program before or change any things in system.
I am new in mac and just use it for browsing internet.
I can not copy any thing in Application folder.
when I install program in installation step it's show me "The installation failed"
and under this, for example for Virtual Box write: "The installer can't create the folder "/var/folder/1G/1GlwO6PrF+u3......""
what can I do?

this message is for all app that i try to install.
What specific apps have you tried?
can you tell me how can i repaired permissions by using Disk Utility?
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive in the list in Disk Utility's window, then click Repair Disk Permissions. And be aware that there are [permissions messages you can safely ignore|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448]. You also may want to [repair the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417] if you haven't done that recently. If it still doesn't work, try [starting up in Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455] and see if that makes any difference.
If none of this helps, you may want to try a local Apple Store, if there are any in Malaysia. I think there's going to be a serious language barrier if the problem needs any complicated troubleshooting, and it's always helpful for the person helping to be able to see the machine in question.

I bought Adobe creative suite 6 (Student Edition) for Windows? Can I install the programs on Mac as well?

I bought Adobe creative suite 6 ( Student Edition ) for Windows? Can I install the programs on Mac as well?

Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed. The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

If you just need a copy of the software, then download the trial copy of Lr available from Adobe. On entering your serial number it will then become a full copy.

Another option if you have access to a second Mac with a drive is to connect the two together with the iMac in Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, and installing from the Mac with the optical drive.

HT4722 How many computers can you install Final Cut on

How many computers can you install Final Cut on with one license or purchase?

This is an excerpt from the FCPX license, available here.
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/FinalCutPro.pdf
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Mac App Store License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Product Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http:// www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) (“Usage Rules”), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non- exclusive license:
to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control; and
(ii) if you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, to download, install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software for use either: (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac

How many computers can you install the micro soft Office 2011 on.

How many computers can you install the Micro Office 2011 on?

A full (retail, single license key) MS Office license permits you to install Office on 1 desktop Mac + 1 portable (laptop) Mac provided 1) you own both computers and 2) you do not use Office simultaneously on both computers.
Beyond that, it depends on the specific Office package you have. Some packages have more specific terms.
For example, if you have MS Office Home & Student 2011 you will have 3 activation keys permitting you to install it on 3 computers, period. (Not 1 desktop + 1 laptop per license key.)
The license key pertains to the computer (device) not the number of user accounts on the device. So, if you have 2 or 3 or more user accounts on your iMac you only need to use 1 license key for the iMac itself. You apply the license key (activate the software) only in the admin account under which you installed the software. Once you activate the software in the primary admin account, Office will be usable in all user accounts on the iMac. Do not try to activate the software under other user accounts on the same Mac - if you do you will unnecessarily use up more license keys.
