Can you install CS5 anywhere other than the C Drive?

I already have CS5 successfully installed on my computer and it works perfectly.
The problem I have is that I'm running out of space on my C drive. (Currently 864 MB Free of 64.2 GB).
After a quick look at the stuff I have on this drive, it seem's to make sense to me to move Photoshop to a different drive, and regain over 10 GB of space back instantly. I already have a dedicated Photoshop drive on my computer (H:) which contains all my Fonts, Actions, Brushes etc. It would be awesome if I could install it there instead.
However, where computers are concerned, I know that nothing is ever as simple as it seem's.
Could someone let me know what sort of problem's I could expect from doing this, or even if it is possible to do.
Just out of interest, I started the CS5 installer earlier today whilst still having Photoshop installed just to see if it was something it would let me do. (I have no intention of uninstalling Photoshop from my C drive until I know if it's doable).
As you can see from the image above it shows that I already have Photoshop installed and it shows the location (Highlighted for you in Yellow).
I have tried to change the drive letter to H: but I cannot change the text within that box. I was wondering if that location only relates to the already existing copy of Photoshop. And therefore I would need to uninstall the existing copy before I can change this. Or will that location always be C:\Program Files\Adobe regardless.
In short, Is it possible to install CS5 to a drive other than C: without there being any problems?
Also is it possible to install 2 copies of CS5 onto 2 different drives? So I can test the new one before finally getting rid of the old one.
Any help or advice will be gratefully received.

You would, of course, have to uninstall the current copy before installing Photoshop in a different place.
You can only install one copy of the same version at one time on the same PC.
You're not going to be able to install it in another place just to see if all went well before uninstalling it from drive C:.
And yes, choosing an alternate drive and location into that field with the little folder icon during an install will allow you to install Photoshop on another drive. That allows you to keep the better part of a gigabyte of software off the C: drive.
Keep in mind that there are a number of things (e.g., Adobe common software) that will still and only install on drive C: however, and there's nothing you can do to change those locations.

Wifi connection - can you get it anywhere other than home?

Hey
Sorry if this question has been answered 100000000000000 times before, I have searched posts.
Can you get internet access anywhere in London, shops, tube etetc without having to put in a password??
Thanks

You may find free WiFi hotspots around London in cafes, etc, or even peoples home wireless networks (although using other peoples WiFi is stealing and you can be arrested for it).
There is a nation-wide WiFi service that you might want to consider, it will only give you a connection when you are near one of their 7500 hotspots which are most in bars, pubs and phone boxes.
The service is provided by 'The Cloud' and they have done a special deal with Apple for the iPod touch, you can get a months service for £3.99. Once you are signed up you never need to log in again to their service, as soon as you are near one of their hot spots your iPod will connect to it (if you have WiFi turned on).

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Hello there,
Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
Thanks!

Yes. You can define alternate locations in teh application manager. just be aware that some components will always end up on your system root drive no matter what.

Can you install a password so that the user of the phone cannot unblock contacts. I do not want certain people contacting my daughter.

Can you install a password so that the user of the phone cannot unblock blocked contacts. I do not want my daughter to be contacted by certain people. I also do not want her to be able to contact them.

The real problem is that whatever you do will only affect that phone. If she really wants to contact them she could use ANY phone.

Can you install itunes on more than one computer?

Hi all,
I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
Many thanks,
Samantha

Sure you can. But instead of using the (more than likely) outdated CD, see the iTunes Download Page

How can I add vocal effects other than the 9 Voice options? (I can't shift pitch)

Hello!
I am making the switch from PC and am just trying to lower the pitch of a vocal track by at least an octave; I just got a MBP last week and am running GB 10.0.2. I can't find any info on similar problems that is helpful; most solutions I've come across show that when the track is selected, there should be a pitch shift bar with a sliding button, but I do not have that. I read a lot of people saying something about the track being purple or not, but I'm not sure if that's relative to the version I have or if that has anything to do with what's happening. When I select the track, in the little area toward the lower left when "Track" is selected, (what is that space called?) where the pitch shift option is for other people, I only have a sliding bar for Pitch Correction, and a checkbox for Limit to Key and Enable Flex. When "Region" is selected, it just shows the name of the region and there are no options. Another question I have is how to change the pitch of midi sounds? When the keyboard is open on the screen I have tried moving the little octave shifter, but it assigns the sounds that are on the keyboard at different locations if I move it, so it changes the sound completely. A couple of them shift one octave up or down, but there are no actual controls..
I'm mostly just dabbling with EDM/trap/Hiphop tracks at the moment, but am confused about whether or not there are other vocal effects and controls other than the preset Voice options in the instrument area (Bright vocal, Classic vocal, compressed vocal, Edge vocal, etc.)? I'm not going to be using GB forever, but are there not any other options like for current rap/trap production (phaser, balance, EQ, auto tune, choppers, actual voice altering effects, etc.) [preferably without buying extra things]? And not only vocals, but editing effects for all sounds.. If so, how do I get to them? And if not I know I should at least be able to lower or raise the pitch of a vocal recording... There are some pretty legit electronic instruments that are exactly the kind of sound I'm going for so I was surprised to not see an equally simple to access vocal effects board or something. Any additional tips for a n00b electronic music producer would also be greatly appreciated! Thank you for any help!

In GarageBand 10 you can no longer change a track with an audio file to a "purple" audio recording, as it has been possible in GarageBand '11.
Even, if you can make the transpose slider visible by enlarging the the track editor panel, the slider will be disabled.
What you can do however, is either add an AuPItch filter from the audioUnit panel or to convert your audio file to loop and to admit from the Loop Browser.
In the new GarageBand you add the AuPitch filter from the Smart Controls.
Enlarge the SmartControl panel by dragging the dividing line upwards, until you see the Audio Units brick, then add an Apple Audio Unit and set it to AuPitch.
Or create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library". You need to trim the filet an exact number of measures.
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop. Make sure, that one-shot loop is not enabled.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample like any regular loop.

Ipod mini software- can you install it on more than one computer?

Hi all,
Got no response to my first question so I thought I'd try again.

You don't need to install the software
Sorry Jeff. She asked "Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?"
You HAVE to install the software (iTunes) in order to run it.
Yes, you can install iTunes on as many computers as you want. You do not need to use the software CD that came with the iPod. Probably outdated anyway.
You can download iTunes from www.itunes.com

Install downloaded software other than on C: drive

I purchased this morning and downloaded the latest 64 bit version of Elements and Premiere to my E: drive (C: drive has Windows Ultimate 7 64 bit only).
I have six files downloaded - one Application file and 7zArchive file set each for Photoshop Elements, Premier Elements and Premiere Elements Content.
When I ran the Application file for PSE it installed OK - mostly on the E: drive where I directed the install browser - but also put a large number of files on my C: drive under a Program Data directory.
When I run the Premiere Elements Application file it will not install and produces an error message along the lines of 'insufficient space or admin rights'.
I am guessing that as there is now only 3GB free on the C: drive this is why I am getting the failed install (I have the admin rights).
So how can I install the whole - or majority of files - on the E: drive where there is 83GB free?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
That was what I feared.
Might have been helpful for Adobe to publish exactly what space - and where is required - in a pre-download checklist.
I can't think of any other software we have - other than the operating system - which HAS to be on the C: drive.

Can you install leopard from an external usb disc drive?

I don't know if the disc drive is fast enough for leopard or something. It's taking forever to open the installer, and when I restarted into the installer it just booted back to my desktop. I have an external disc drive I want to try. Can you install leopard from and external disc drive?

****, I just tried it and when I restarted it didn't go into the installer. I think my disc drive in my old mac mini might be too slow. It takes forever to recognize the disc and just to double click on it and it up. And when I tried to install it the first time from the internal drive it just booted right into my desktop again.

How to maintain itunes on a drive other than the system drive

I would like to have itunes on a drive other than the Windows 7 operating system drive, and have it stay there.

Thanks for your inputs.
I have memory leaks in my code. I have tried iDialog->Release() code which reduces some of the memory leaks
Though I want to use more clean method of InterfacePtr.
"To prevent reference counts from incrementing, as in Type 1a and 1b, use this constructor, which does not call IPMUnknown::AddRef:"
Which Constructor you are pointing out, I didn't get it.
I tried InterfacePtr<IDialog> iDialog((IDialog *)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_IDIALOG));
It started giving me assert again.
Please give an example how to do it or which InterfacePtr constructor doesn't call AddRef().
Many thanks for helping me with this.

Can the creative cloud apps be installed on a drive other than the boot drive?

I have an SSD for the boot drive and keep most apps on an 'applications' drive. It appears that CC apps install by default to the boot drive. Am I incorrect? Can I control what drive they install on?

Yes you can change the install location:
Launch the Adobe Application Manager.
Click on your name in the top left and from the context menu choose Preferences.
Change the Install Location to the one you want.

Can you install solaris 10 without installig the gui?

Hi all. As you see I am new to solaris but not new to the unix world. I finally got some hardware to install the solarais 10 dvd I had hanging around. Since it was my first install I told it to install the kitchen sink (also b/c I wasn't quite sure of what the different options were that I was presented with). Well I have been flloored the last 3 days playing with it as it is simply AWESOME. I actually am having gasp fun. I am old school and have general disdain for gui on unix. Sun implementation is great though. Still though I am curious, can I simply install the "base " operating system without the gui for a server project? if so what install option should I look out for, none is obvious like all the linux distros that have "install desktop environment" option. I would just wipe it out and explore the other install options but I actually was able to setup all services I was curious about and I have a test group using it. After some more stability tests I would like to wipe and go production with commandline only. thank you

Two excellent answers. Thank you so much. The bit about disabling graphical login is great. I gotta be honest. I am younger than the unix kernel. My inexperience makes it hard to navigate unices that have gui's installed because the directories get filled with so much shit. I really do prefer commandline cause it simple and leaves me with files that I can figure out what they mean if I need to.
Like I mentioned, I had this disk on hand for about 1.5 years. I tried installing once and kinda gave up for lack of interest. Ever since I have occasionally hit the web and tried to find more info about the various options in the installer. Since it is so slow I didn't have much time to dilly dally with it and try different permutations. I'm so glad I had nothing to do this sunday and fired up an old server with it. I am very impressed so far. If the installer and a few bugs with it were clarified I would say I had almost a perfect experience so far. That is something I intend to contribute to the community. While I do not have solid coding background, I am a workflow and layout "master" and have lots of experience implementing interactive devices.
